Comments: I am looking for any one who knew, FRANK WAlter Eastman. I was on the USS blair. His job was to keep the power on the ship and, if the ship of his he was to kill the power befor man could jump over board. One day there was a problem down below and him and alot other guys had to deal with it. I would like to met and know what he was like when he was younger and in the navy any help with this would really help.
