Comments: I last saw the Hoop in San Diego in the Moth Ball Fleet. I was working on board a reseach ship and saw her at the end of the harbor. She was scrapped some time in the late 60's. I served aboard the Hoop from 1953 to 1955.

Comments: To all who supplied photo's and information:

Thought you might like to see how the model of ARG-17, U.S.S. Hooper Island is progressing. It is not complete, nor is it ever likely to be. I Am still gathering information and gleaning details from fuzzy photo's and an ever-declining memory and will update from time to time as details are confirmed. The model is intended to depict the ship as she appeared in 1954-55.

the attached photos show how she stands at present. Again, thanks to one and all.

Can anyone help me find the location of the USS Hooper Island ARG-17 and
the USS Navasota AO106.

I would appreciate any web site information about these two ships. And 
if anyone knows  where these ships are located today.  I severed on the
Navasota in the Korean war from 52-55 and would appreciate your help.

Ted,

I have located the Navasota it's in moth balls in California but I have
no information on the Hooper Island.  If anyone can help locate the 
Hooper I would be grateful.
