ON-BOARD-1963-1965

Comments: I was onboard as a 3rd Class Gunner's Mate 1963-1965. I am interested in any re-union or shipmates of those same years. After 44 years, I finally returned to San Diego and today took a boat cruise around San Diego harbor & visited Point Loma & the U.S.S. Midway. It was quite moving. San Diego sure has changed! Hoping to hear from some of you! Where is the USS. Colonial now?

Russian Mine. R-MYaM

Comments: Question?

A Russian Mine was apparently recovered 11 March 1952 by COMINRON Three mine disposal team and members of the Underwater Demolition Team.

The mine- a very small shallow water anti-boat mine, three chemical horns. Two men could easy pick the mine up by U shaped lifting eyes located 180 degrees apart on top hemisphere. Est weight eighty pounds or less. Any pictures? Eye witness? Where was the mine recovered from?

Thanks..Ed Gard. USN EOD.

USS COLONIAL - WHAT BECAME OF HER?

Comments: My father, John E. Kane, relieved LCDR George P. Sotos, USN as Executive Officer on board the USS Colonial (LSD18) from approximately January 1950 through November 1951.

I am sure it was long ago decomissioned, but does anyone know when?

Also, I have an official Navy color photo of the ship, along with much assorted paperwork associated with my dad's Naval career, some of it directly related to the Colonial. I don't know what your project entails, but if you think copies would help your project, please let me know.
