Comments: My father, Lt. Alfred Baratta, now passed, served on the Merapi out of Pearl @1956. I was a youngster at Punahou School then. We lived in Naval Housing, NHA3 I believe. I still have glass slides he took on a trip to Enowetok though I cannot find the movies he took of the Equator crossing on one of the trips. Does anyone remember that time on the Merapi? Please let me know. Thank you, Mark Baratta cougarbluffs@yahoo.com

Comments: My Father served aboard the Merapi in the late 40's. He was discharged right before the first Korean conflict cruise. I believe he was an engineman. He has many good memories of his service and port calls in China, Japan. He was discharged in San Fransisco after an illness and settled near there for nearly 50 years. He lives today in Austin, Texas.
