Hello... I have spent the last few years living in the Solomons aboard a private
marine research vessel, much of it over iron bottom sound. I am currently finishing writing a book
about an experience I had there (I survived being lost at sea) -- as part of my book I want to
include information on WWII, specifically about Guadalcanal and Henderson field. My ultimate goal
would be to include as specific information about my grandfather's ship, the USS Hunter Liggett and
it's history there. His name was William Sink, Chief Boatsman mate, by any miracle, maybe someone
rememvers him? Or... if anyone has any recommendations as to where I can find information on the
ship and her history in the Solomons, that would be fantastic and much appreciated.

This is a wonderful site. My dad was in the Navy and was a cook on a Merchant Marine
ship...the ship was sunk and my dad as well as only one other sailor lived but taken as prisoners.
Dad didn't like to talk about what happened but I did find out he was givin some type of
experimental treatment on his arm that left a scar in exchange for his freedom. Is there any
imformation that I can be given about my dad and the other sailor ? Daddy died three years ago from
the exposer of the asbestos, sorry my spelling isn't the greatest. He was only 16 yrs. old when he
signed up and I think he served 1941-1943. He came out of the sevice and went to study for the
Priesthood in Upstate N.Y. His parents owned a resturant and motel called the Yorkshire in Claverack
N.Y. area. Dad also went to Georgetown University in Washington DC where he graduated with honors as
a law student. Our family moved to Manassas Va. where he started his law practice. His last address
was in Callao Va. there he was the Commonwealths Atty. for two terms, he passed away on Nov. 23,
2003, I didn't get to the hospital in time...our stepmother had him creamated so he wasn't even
given the proper burrial for a Catholic Sailor. Dad did own a sailboat durring the last ten years of
his life and I joined him on it a few times...he loved the water and sailing.The memorial that was
given when he passed didn't recognise any of his time served as a sailor in the war...what he went
through...my daughter Cecelia, is a 2nd.Lt. in the J.R.O.T.C. in high school, she is persuing a
career in the military and I would love to be able to share with her the wonderful story of her
grandpa. His name is William Joseph LoPorto the nicnames he may have had were Sonny or Billy.
Thankyou so much for allowing me to write this, and give a little hope for some answers. Thank you
and God Bless You and all you do. Sincerely, Terese

My name is Gail Westcott. I am searching for anyone who has information of my father Harry

from lower Michigan and went in at the age of 17, born 8-3-22, telling us his mother signed for him.
We have no discharge papers for him but I do have James' discharge card. The government says that my
father was only in the Navy for a few months. I have some pictures and the story from my dad about
his ship being blownup. He said that he worked in the engineroom and also kept a ship mascot, a
small monkey. I hope someone can shed some light on this. My father passed some years ago and the
government will not put his purple hearts on his marker because they have no record of him. Please
help me find something about Harry or James Goldsborough. If you have different avenues for me to
take to find things I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

school in New London, Conn. And I was made permanent C.O. here. From school Mr. Daniels was sent to
the West Coast for duty and I was there until the end of June when he was brought back to
Washington. The other day I heard that he was getting out on the 21st of July. The Navy took over
the front part of the station last spring and all we have is the back wing and half of the galley
wing now but that is plenty as we only have about 35 men here now. Most of the old gang is gone,
Baily and Schiro from the Meeting St. office as well as Johnson and Barnes are still here. Some of

I am the grandson of a sailor from a Coast Guard ship, the USS Samuel Chase, APA-26. My
Grandfathers name is Thomas Coleman Smith, he served in the Pacific theater and often tells the
story that on the way to the P.I. the ship had to be left behind from the convoy, because the engine
gave out. That he and a couple others got inside the 'stack' and repaired that beast to get it
going again. He is up in years now and I need help. Any information on the medals and awards he
should have I need to know. I myself served in the U.S. Navy, HM3, and I know how hard it is just
to get my own material. Also, if there any shipmates, that remembers my grandfather, he said he
served during the run to the P.I. and was aboard when Japan surrendered. He vivdly talks about the
Japanese cars running off of coal, because there was no oil or gas to be found. Any information on
the route, vague or not, or internet links that I can use would be most helpful. Thank you for any
information.

Any Northland (W49) sailors our there? Remember that sea battle in '44? 28 frightened
German prisoners taken aboard, sure we were going to klll them. The reason they were so scared, we
had Franks & Beans that night, & they had not seen a beef hot dog since, Hitler took over, so they
assumed it was their last meal. We finally found a Corsair who spoke German, and allayed all fears.
Please contact me, so we can reminisce about how we lost the Grumman F4F Biplane in a storm in the
Denmark Straits, (along with everything else on deck). I will be 78 my next birthday, and would
like to recapture my youth by hearing from you, and remembering the many actions we were in. Cyrus

I'm looking for anyone in the Marinette Wisconsin or Menominee Michigan area who served on
the CGC Eastwind when they captured a German weather station crew during WWII. I'm also looking for
anyone in the same area who rode horseback patrols along the coast in North Carolina. The reason
for my search is because a friend of mine who served at those units during the war is ill. His
health is failing. I would like to get a few old sailors together and share some sea stories one
more time with him. I know he'd enjoy it. Give me a shout if you're out there!

I'm hoping one of you Vets can help me. My mom has two photos of her father and no other
info other than that he was in the Coast Guard circa 1941-42. He's wearing his uniform in the photos
which the C.G. historian tells me is that of a Carpenter's Mate. We know he was in the San Francisco
area sometime between mid-December 1941 and mid-January 1942 as that's when my grandmother would
have gotten pregnant. The photo was taken when my mom was about a year old, so that puts him in the
S.F. area again, sometime around 9/43. I'm trying to find out if there is organization, government
or non, that can tell me what Coast Guard ports may have been used in the S.F./Alameda area at that
time, what ships would have been in port during the timeframes I mentioned, and where I can find
crew photos so that we might be able to play 'Match the Faces'. Grandmother is deceased, so no new
info will be forthcoming from her. She left these photos in an envelope with my mom's name on it.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone might be able to offer. We're not interested in
disrupting lives, just want to put a name with the face. Thank you in advance for both your
assistance and for your service to our country - both are greatly appreciated. I'll be posting the
two photos in the Fred's Place Photo Album in the personnel section, titled 'Mystery Man 1' and
'Mystery Man 2'. If you think you can identify the man, please let me know.

Back in 1947-1949 I was a radioman aboard the Alert, Taney, Chautauqua, Escanaba, Bramble,
and Storis. Can anybody top that? I would like to hear from anyone who served in the CG back in
those days.
