USS Turner Joy DD 951 Reunion Group

The USS Turner Joy launched in 1957 and was decommission in 1982, the USS Turner Joy and its crews honorably served the United States Navy in both War and Peace. The USS Turner Joy received nine battle stars for her Vietnam Service and is currently a museum site located in Bremerton, Washington. This brave group of people honorably served in the Navy and their stories range from being out at sea together, fighting for survival, and caring for each other through difficult times.

When we initially met with the USS Turner Joy DD-951 Reunion Group, we knew immediately that we wanted to be involved with the project. The project involved creating a website that their organization could use to manage their organization, as well as tell their stories that were so important to the history of our Country.

The USS Turner Joy Reunion Group had a website that they were currently using, but an updated design and additional functionality was necessary to give their organization the look and tools they needed to effectively manage all of the different aspects of their organization. It was not only important to develop a new website, but it was equally important that we were able to preserve all of the content, images, video, and history they had already incorporated into their current site.

This had to be one of the most amazing projects we were able to be a part of. From the beginning, we had the pleasure of getting to go through hundreds of old images, videos, and ship stories to help migrate that information over to the new site. It was not only amazing to learn all about this part of history, it was an experience to hear and read the stories of the people who lived it.
