Playing Taps

Shipmates Friends or Family members of our Fallen U.S.S. Hancock Shipmates. Please permit me to first offer my condolences in the loss of your Shipmate, Friend or family member. It is with deep solemnity that this Website offers and provides this place of Honor and Tribute to those who no longer are with us and who have since crossed over the Bar.

This place of Honor is Set Apart for those who have gone on before us, but ever remembered by us who knew them and wish to keep their memory alive.

Therefore, please feel free to add your loved one, friend or shipmate to the Taps Pages, but please remember that this space is provided only for those who served about the U.S.S. Hancock CV/CVA-19 during her 32 years of Service.

Please provide us with as much information on the deceased as you can, which will be displayed for all visitors to see. Try your best to ascertain this information as best you can, because it is very important to give true information here.

Once again, I thank you, as does the rest of our surviving Crew. This way, the Service and Commitment of your loved one, shipmate or friend will not be forgotten by the rest of us.

The Yeoman and the 'Hancock Community At-large' would like to take this moment to reflect upon the Service of our Fallen Comrades and pause for a moment to remember their Service and Commitment.

Best Regards,

Jake
