USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS is an OLIVER HAZARD PERRY Class Frigate
SHIELD: The shield is divided into navy blue, red and yellow, suggesting the shoreline of Guadalcanal and the Marines who were trapped there in September 1942. The three stars allude to the Naval Forces who volunteered to rescue the hard-pressed Marines. The gold star represents Coxswain Samuel B. Roberts, Jr., who was mortally wounded during this mission when his boat drew enemy fire away from the other boats embarking the Marines. The three stars also represent the three ships named for Samuel B. Roberts, Jr.; the gold star denotes the current ship.
CREST: The lion, a symbol of courage, signifies Samuel B Roberts' Spirit. The lion's red claws and tongue symbolize Samuel B Roberts' ultimate sacrifice for his comrades ; the blue collar bearing a cross pattee convexed indicates that Samuel B Roberts' died in battle and was awarded the Navy Cross for his gallant actions. The lion is grasping in his paws a blue torch, suggesting the passing on of Naval history. The lightning bolts represent the armament of this ship, and indicate the quick-strike capabilities of the modern warship.
MOTTO: Admiral Copeland, then LCDR, Commanding Officer of DE 413, concluded his report of the Battle of Samar, with these words; "In the face of this knowledge, the men zealously manned their stations wherever they might be, and fought and worked with such calmness, courage, and efficiency that no higher honor could be conceived than to command such a group of men."

Hello All, My son (age 22) will be joining the Samuel B. Roberts in June as his first assignment. I'm looking forward to getting some advice about anything and everything about the ship and/or living in Mayport.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sue, Rhode Island

Therapy is hard, I had spinal fusion on my back and it's rough. You can get very discouraged. I thought I could do it without the help so I didn't go like I was suppose to. Now I'm having some trouble with another disc in my back. Stubborn women!! :) My poor husband!!!
Back here in J'Ville the boat is getting ready for repairs. And boy do these TIN CAN need them! I'm sorry he's not able to be here. Is there any chance when his therapy is over with he will be able to come back?

Thanks lyssa4e, the Navy has tested me many many times! Just when we think our husbands are home, they take them from us again! I swear they didn't teach us this when they signed up!
Dianne, My husband giggled when he saw your sons picture's you posted, he thought the duckie jammies were a good idea too...LOL! His recovery is going to take time, I guess it's much like the Navy, lots and lots of patience huh! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Sorry to hear that the paralysis hasn't gone away yet. Hopefully soon though. You have a wonderful weekend! I just got my husband back, they disappeared for 3 days as a backup Frigate! :( The Navy has been so unkind to me! LOL!

Thank you Dianne, yes, the deployments are very very hard when you are truly in love with your spouse. Not saying it's not hard...but some wives seem to be able to handle things better than others, I dread even a night away from my husband. A day of work is hard for us! I feel like a teenager all over again...LOL! My husband says if we didn't love each other it wouldn't hurt so bad to be apart. But your right, he will find someone and it will be all that he dreamed it could be. And he will know that no matter what happens, she will be waiting on that peer for him when he returns home.

It will be 25 years in August. And it feels like the honeymoon is still going on! He's calculated his time away during our marriage, 70% of the time has been spent deployed or on IA tours. So, to us, everyday he's home is like the honeymoon! I'm sorry to hear that your son came back to divorce papers, it's not easy being married to someone being gone as long as they are but she married him for better or for worse, the least she could have done was give it the 30 days to readjust to his being home before dropping the bomb on him! I did hear rumors of a few sailors who came home to some unexpected surprises this deployment. It sickens me that there are wives out there that do the things they do while their husbands are gone!

316 Days! I wish I could wake up and it all be over with. It almost feels like a deployment all over again. Yes he's home and all but he's been gone so much and we have so much time to make up for. You never seem to get enough time in the day to spend with them.
I think the yellow jammies with blue duckies sound awesome! Picture's!!! LOL!

I'm sorry to hear that he may be leaving the Sammy B too, but it is good that he will be close to you. The poor thing running around in hospital gowns, gotta get him some jammies with little feeties! :)
