HUGH WEBSTER

Admiral Webster was a good neighbor and role model for my family. When he was at home he made the time to do carpool to high school and give driving lessons to his children.

I was stationed aboard the USS Somers on it´s first deployment to Vietnam after it was converted into a missile destroyer. I was also his phone talker for every detail from general quarters, replenishments, departure and arrival into port. He was the best CO I had in my nine year naval career! RIP Admiral Webster!

One very late night while we were out at sea, I was notified of a CIC radar repeater that had failed . I carried my tools to CIC and Commodore Brown greeted me when I came in.

Found RADM Webster's hand addressed envelope to me during Shelter in Place. I didn't know he had died. Hoped to contact him to wish him well.

I was the only woman in the class and was delighted that he and my classmates were genuinely interested in my perspective. The original "Officer and a Gentleman." RIP Admiral, will meet again one day.

The best CO i ever served under. I left the England in August, 1979, in Subic. Captain Webster shook my hand and thanked me for keeping the 3" guns up and running. That really impressed me, and when i mentioned it to him at one of the ships' reunions, he remembered doing it. Absolutely one of the best men i ever knew. GMG1 (SW) Darryl S. Wilder U.S.N. Ret.
