Comments: I served from 1955-58 in the engine room.I also have the names of all 3 duty sections in my old green "steamers book." I have a lot of b/w pictures but I cannot identify many. Can you help out?
I am looking for anyone that remembers me being put in a leg cast while we were in the Phillipines. Also anyone remembering me hurting my back during the cruise to the Pribiloff Islands in 1956. Ryan MM2

Comments: I served aboard the Mathews as an IC Electrician from June 1953 through October 1956. We were involved in transferring N. Korean prisoners of war and resupplying the Priblof Islands among many of duties.
This was quite an experience for a Kansas farm boy and I thoroughly enjoyed.
I would like to hear from any shipmate who served with me.

Comments: Being aboard the Mathews was a great experience for a Hillbilly kid from the Missouri Ozarks. I was often teased about joining the Navy to get a pair of shoes and to see people. WestPac cruise was a real eye-opener. I made some great friends while in the Navy and saw places and things I would never have otherwise experienced.
I've been married for 37 years and have three sons, three terrific daughters-in-law and three wonderful grandchildren. I have been blessed beyond measure. Wayne

Comments: My pops served on AKA 96 as a Signalman during WWII ('44-'45). I belive he said that the ship let him off in San Pedro, CA after the surrender sometime. The Maritime musuem in San Pedro still has the plaque of AKA 96. Think it's right inside the door on the left.....
