USS Plymouth Rock Ships AssociationInformation About the
USS Plymouth Rock Ships Association
The USS Plymouth Rock (LSD29) Association came into being through the untiring efforts of Harry T. Andersen, BTC, of Waukegan, IL who served aboard the "Rock" in 68-70. Harry had the idea of forming the association after having been married on board and retiring while attached to the Plymouth Rock. Through Harry’s efforts and that of his wife Jeanne, a data base of former shipmates was created. Harry and Jeane communicated with over 60 magazines, newspapers and each of these were sent information as to the first reunion. At the present time this data base is approximately 543 former shipmates. The Ships Association truly owes a great deal of thanks to the Andersen's for all the work that was done in the early years of 1995-96. To view more information about the reunions, visit the ships link to Pictures and Information of past/present reunions or click here Reunions.
The first reunion was held in Great Lakes, IL in September 1996 with over 65 shipmates and wives/girlfriends in attendance.
A second reunion was held in Norfolk, VA in September 1998 with over 166 shipmates and wives/girlfriends in attendance.
A third reunion was held in Buffalo, NY in September 2000 with over 76 shipmates and wives/girlfriends in attendance.
The fourth reunion was heldJune 5, 6, 7 2003, at Great Lakes IL. We had 67 shipmates and guests in attendance.
The fifth Reunion was held September 8-11 at Branson, MO. We had over 82 shipmates and guests in attendance
