US Navy Training Co. 130; San Diego, CA

Comments: My grandfather, Lewis Garrison, was a member of the US Navy Training Company 130 in San Diego, CA. I have a photo of the company dated May 17, 1948. Named in the photo are HM KIRKLAND, BMC and BD FINCHER, QMC. I know that my grandfather went on to serve in the Korean war. I would like to know more about his time there, and think the best place to start would be to find the ship he was assigned. If anyone can help me, please do so, it will be greatly appreciated.

Information regarding a missing family member

Comments: I am just researching and trying to find out some information on my Uncle who fought in the Korean War. I do believe he was in the Navy. He ended up missing after his ship landed in the San Francisco harbor. He was on the ship on the return trip back to the states but then never got off the ship when it landed. The FBI did do an investigation which came up unconclusive. If there is anyone out there that can give me any kind of information at all, please help me out. I would appreciate it so much! Thank you. He was my father's brother and we would just love to know the real story behind his disappearance.

USS KLONDIKE 1950-1952

Comments: My father served on the USS Klondike, from 1950 to 1952. The USS Klondike was based out of San Diego. I am trying to find out if the USS Klondike was in Korean waters at any time from 1950 to 1952, or if it stayed in San Diego for the entire two years. If it did go to Korea, the Navy wants me to tell them the location, and the dates it was there, on a form they want me to fill out. I have tried to find out this information from the Navy, and from sites on the internet, unsuccessfully. If you know any site I could find this information or if you know this information, that would be very helpful. Barbara Quigan
