Gentlemen, It is with extreme Sorrow, I report the loss of CDR Robert Huntley Pidgeon USN (Ret) who was our beloved CO from 13 DEC 71 to 25 APR 73. Rob died peacefully on 12-3-2020 and leaves behind his wife of 40 years and now widow Sandy and many other loving family members. Rob was a graduate of the USNA, class of 1958 and friend of his classmate, John McCain. Rob was a very fine gentleman and outstanding combat leader. I look forward to attending his Funeral and Memorial service at the USNA this upcoming Summer. I consider it a privilege and an honor to be there. Fair Winds and Following Seas Rob! RIP Sir!
