Al Clark at the helm of LST-325 during LST Week in Evansville,Indiana. O.K.so it was only for 10 minutes, but it was fun and I didn't hit anything!

NAVY ARCHIVES II
While at the Navy Archives II in October I got the WB muster roll for 31 December 1944 and May 1947. Both are in pretty bad shape so I'm hoping to find a volunteer to type them for me. I also have plans of the USS Wilkes-Barre CL-103, USS Sabine AO-25 and USS Mosopelea ATF-158 but have not had time to find a place to scan them for me. I want them on a disk so they can be printed on a plotter. Some of the new pictures I copied at the Archives can be seen on the South Pacific page,more will be added later.


WE HAVE ANOTHER NEW PAGE ON OUR SITE!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT: "South Pacific Maps"
I have TF-38, TF-58 and TU-35.7.2 waiting for you!


HAVE YOU NOTICED, WE HAVE MUSIC ON MOST PAGES!!!

Attention WB sailors!
Are you familar with the U.S.Navy Memorial Foundation? Are you on the "Navy Log"? I have just enrolled, with picture, and I know of fourteen other WB sailors who are on the log. If you are interested I will make a page listing men on the Navy Log and a link to that site.
