Comments: This is just a shot in the dark, but my father, the late Patrick Cole Downey of Suffern, NY served as a radio man on the USS Ajax, as well as USS Hector during the Korean War. One night, years ago at the dinner table, he broke down in front of my family and related to us how he and several other of his shipmates had come under fire, and how he killed a man in Vietnam while delivering mail, on a river somewhere and how the action was kept secret afterward. Any information would be more than welcome. Regards, Patrick C. Downey Jr. USMC '86, '89

Comments: I am searching for anyone who may have served with my Uncle aboard the USS AJAX, Alvin Bratton McKinney (Alvin) I belive he was killed in a boiler (broiler)explosion. He was killed such a long time ago I have little to no information on him or his death. It would be nice to know more and to maybe speak with someone who could share some old memories about him.

I want to put together as much information together for a special occasion. He states that went in another persons spot and he was captured. My Grandfathers name is Russell N. Anderson. His twin brother (Fred) also served at the same time and I believe on the same ship. If anyone knows these two men please let me know thank you.

Comments: Served on the Ajax from 11/3/67 to10/3/73. The first three years were Shop Sup in OSR and the last 3 years was in the Repair Office as the ARRS. As I age, it seems important to be able to contact any shipmate just to remember old times. It was great duty as was the crew both ships company as was the repair dept. The repairs that were completed during the Viet Nam era to keep the ships in the war zone I feel could not be matched by anyone ship. All the memories of those days are precious. Your emails are appreciated and will be answered ASAP. Big Al

I am searching for any of my fathers old shipmates. The only info I have is that he served in the Navy from Feb. 19, until 1945. His name was William (Will or Bill) Wright Rogers. He was from Tn. My understanding is that he was a 'boiler maker'. If you have any info, please contact me. My father died in Feb, 1992.

Thank you,
