USS Pinckney sailors remembered
Three sailors killed in a vehicle collision on March 12 were memorialized March 15 on board the guided-missile cruiser USS Pinckney.
Seamen Apprentice Kip Baker, 19, of Pittsboro, Indiana; Gas Turbine System Technician-Electrical 2nd Class Alfred Concepcion, 25, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland.; and Fire Controlman 1st Class Michael Booker, 33, of Austin, Texas, served for less than a year on the Pinckney before their deaths.
Twenty-three other sailors continue to receive treatment of injuries after their bus collided with a truck in Beaufort, South Carolina. Two hundred Pinckney crewmembers were on their way to a wreath-laying ceremony at Beaufort National Cemetery in honor of the ship’s namesake who is buried there.
The ship was making a port visit before joining the Pacific Fleet. The ship is scheduled to be commissioned May 29 at Port Hueneme, California.
