Comments: My father, Jackie L. Gann, served aboard the USS Estes after completing Electronics school sometime between 1950 and 1952. He passed away in 1983. I recently found one of his best buddies, E.K. Treadway. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers him. Some of the names Mr. Treadway mentioned to me (I apologize if misspelled) Chief Weyan, Simon O also known as "Ice Man", Richard "Dick" Burns... Thanks!

Comments: My Dad, Lawrence M. Killinger, served on the USS Estes in mid 50's. Some of his shipmates may have included Al Griffith and Dell Blackburn. Would like to hear from anyone who served with these men or remember working with them. All three men are still alive. Believe they all participated in the atomic testing at the atolls.

Comments: Jim Webb, my father who I lost in 1985, served on the Estes following his San Diego training. I know little of his naval days other than a very rumpled picture of his training group (455) and the knowledge that he served in Korea and followed with participation in atomic testing. I would love to hear from anyone who knew him then.

Comments: Hi, My name is James A. Wyskiewicz. My father, Edward J. Wyskiewicz served aboard the USS Estes during Operation Redwing. I lost my father to cancer in 1985. I was fifteen at the time. I am now thirty years of age and am very interested in finding out as much information as I can about this ship and about Operation RedWing. I know the ship was decommissioned in the winter of 1977. Was it scrapped or is it on display somewhere? Further, were can I get info about the ship? My father never really talked about his service, but now I want to find out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Comments: I was a Marine Radio Telegraph Operator with the Marine Signal Detachment. We picked up the Estes at Hunter's Point,San Francisco just as she was ready for her shakedown cruise and stayed aboard for for almost a year. After her shakedown we anchored in the middle of S.F. bay and spent a couple of days loading ammo. Then on to Pearl Harbor for De-gaussing. Our home port was Yokosuka Japan. In Korean waters we patroled both coasts but spent most of our time in Inchon takeing care of business.

Pat Clyde and gang, and some of his buddies on liberty in Japan in 1951.
It's a pretty classic shot. There is a similar photograph of me and my
buddies in a hotel in the Philipines that was taken over twenty years later!

My father served in the US Navy during the Korean War. I've copied him on
this e-mail.
My Dad has given me his Navy memorabilia including letters home,
photographs, essays, etc. I am considering putting a Web site together
to let folks know what it was like to be in the Navy during the late
forties and early fifties.
My father, Pat Clyde, was stationed in Guam before the war broke out. He
remembers Typhoon Allyn which hit Guam in 1949. He was still in Guam
when the North invaded the South in June of 1950. He remembers the Bob
Hope show visiting there in October 1950.
Dad was a Storekeeper on the USS ESTES ACG-12 when it was the Flagship
for Rear Admiral Tom B. Hill Commander Amphibious Group One, Commander
Task Force 90.
He participated in the Koje-Do Prison Riot supression in February 1952.
He has a great story about this action that includes having to climb
down the landing nets into the waiting boats during rough seas.
On 10 June of 1952 he transfered from ESTES to USS LENAWEE, APA-195.
Later in'52 he served on LST 836.
In the Fall of 1952 he participated in Operation IVY the Atomic Tests at
Eniwetok Proving Grounds, Marshall Islands conducted by the Army, Navy, Air
Force, and Atomic Energy Commission.
Any way, thanks again for keeping the memories alive. I have included a
picture of my father and some of his buddies on liberty in Japan in 51.
