Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to the USS William V Pratt Reunion Association website. Established in March 2003, as the first official internet website that represents the USS William V Pratt , (DLG-13/DDG-44), and her dedicated crew of thousands who served onboard from 1961-1991.

These pages are here as a memorial to one of the finest ships to ever sail the seven seas. The sailors who walked the decks of the USS William V Pratt are a family who lived and worked together. Even though our fine ship is no longer afloat, our family still exixts, and the USS William V Pratt will sail forever in our hearts and minds.

The William V Pratt Reunion Association and this website are meant to bring us all back together, to re-introduce us to each other, to help us meet the shipmates we never knew, and to honor those shipmates who are no longer with us. The USS William V Pratt, nicknamed "The Proud Fox", was always out front and on top. We are all proud to have served on board.

This site was concieved, created and is maintained by sailors of the USS William V Pratt. All of the content you will find here was provided by those men as well as other Historical and Government sites. If you would like to contribute to our website or have an inaccuracy to point out, please contact the William V Pratt Reunion Association.
