Vice Admiral Gunn served in USS EVERETT F. LARSON (DD 830) as First Lieutenant, Anti-Submarine Warfare Officer and Navigator. After attending Destroyer School, he served as Operations Officer in USS O'BRIEN (DD 725). He was Executive Officer of USS ALBERT DAVID (FF 1050) and commanded USS BARBEY (FF 1088).
