Comments: Mr. Rhody,

Below is a link to a picture of the Douglas A Munro DE-422. You neglected to add your contact info in your post so I don't know how to get in touch with you. I have additional pictures that were taken aboard ship that I could scan and send to you later. Is your father still alive? What was his name, rank etc? Let me hear from you.
