USS Kenneth Whiting AV14

Comments: Served on board from March '53 to March '54. Only made one cruise to Iwakuni. Made other cruises on other ships, but this one stands out most in my mind, maybe because it was my first. Besides Iwakuni was one fine place to be initiated into the mysteries of the Orient. Can't make the reunion this year bedcause of other commitments, but will try to plan for next year.
