Comments: I am looking for the picture of Higbee along side of the Bataan in the Yellow Sea in 1953. This picture was the center fold in August 2000 issue of Sea Classics magazine. I was a GM2 and believe I'm standing right out of Mt52. If anyone could help me get a copy of this photograph it would greatly be appreciated.

Comments: My father Edward ("Ed" or "Eddie")Boylan served on the Bataan and shipped out of Alemeda for Korea. He was a hydraulic specialist and worked on the hanger deck. He has many fond memories of the ship. As a kid we always loved to hear his "war stories." If you worked with my father or knew him when he was on the Bataan, please e-mail me!

Thanks.
