Welcome to the USS Manley (DD-940) Association, home of the Navy's once finest crew and intrepid combatant destroyer. Here you will find a single source for her history, related news, sea stories, and the men who served with pride during her commissioned years from 1957 until 1983

This site and the Association are dedicated to placing former Manley crew members in touch with other shipmates through the use of Facebook, e-mail, a quarterly newsletter, and reunions.  You can visit our FaceBook page here.

At the left of this and all pages, you will see links that lead you to the various pages and other sites of common interest. Just click on the porthole and you will go to that destination. Feel free to navigate as much as you wish. Take a trip to the Roster and you will discover the names of nearly 1,000 Manley sailors who have joined our sailing list.

When at the Roster, notice that only the member's name, rank or rate at time of detachment, and the years of service on board are displayed. No other personal information may be available to you at this time because we safeguard the privacy of All Hands. Some pages of this site have limited access and you may not be allowed to access them. Only active current members of the Association have access to the Business Meeting page, the Photo Album, and email addresses of other members.

You may use the Forums to post a message, tell a short story or even attempt to locate someone. There is a full range of features available to you but first you are asked to sign on and create a unique user name and password. It is simple. Point your cursor at "Register" and click, fill in the form, submit it and you are on your way.

Besides this web site, the Association publishes a newsletter, Manley Notes, posts on Facebook, conducts reunions, and issues special announcements by e-mail as the need arises. Since its inception, the Association has grown to a crew of nearly 1,000 strong. You are encouraged to add your name today and be sure to include your mailing address so that you can receive the latest issue
