As an
introduction I am a WWII Navy vet served on the USS Tennessee BB43
’43-’45. I was discharged SM3. I joined the reserves and was recalled ’51
during the Korean conflict and served aboard USS Baltimore CA68 and
discharged ’54 as QMS2. I had the pleasure of making Med Cruise in ’52
with the 6th Fleet and had some opportunities to get some good
pictures. I’ve had the
picture in a shoebox for over 50 years and when I discovered the Vesole
web site I decided to make use of them before my life expires.
I am 79 Y.O. and have been handicapped for the last several years.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
May you have calm seas and red sunsets.
