Gordon Duff was 5'10", 163 pounds, blue eyes and brown hair.His next 20 years in the Navy, he served on a dozen or more ships including the USS Florida, Montana, Newburgh, Konabish, Reno, Blackhawk and Nevada.
In the late 1920s-early 1930s he was on China station and stationed in the Philippines 1930-1933.
David Jensen was at the service and is a great nephew of Duff Gordon. He provided DNA that was a 99.8% match, to prove identity.
There does seem to be confusion as to Duff Gordon's last name.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
