USS Taylor 468 Reunion/Legacy Association
After more than 40 years of USS Taylor DD/DDE 468 reunions, our mission has changed. We are aging out of social reunions every two years in favor of preservation of our great ship’s legacy for generations to come. There may still be future reunions, but on a much smaller scale, and probably as part of a Tin Can Sailors National Reunion (destroyers.org). The first of these Tin Can Sailors/Taylor reunions was held in Norfolk, Virginia in late September 2025. For more information about that, please click here.
Preserving Taylor’s Legacy
As the last of the Taylor Sailors, it is up to us to preserve for future generations the historic legacy of our ship and the men who served aboard her. In order to do this, we need to (1) Make technical and financial arrangements to support our website for years to come, and (2) Find responsible curators who will agree to honor Taylor’s legacy. This will include preservation and display of our collection of historically significant artifacts, documents, and photographs. We are in discussions with three potential curators and will have more information about that soon. Meanwhile, we welcome your financial support in any amount. You can donate through the Donate button on any page of the website. If you have any objects, photographs, or documents that you feel are historically significant, please contact us through the Message Board or by Taylor Sailors email.
