May the USS SPHINX be more than just scrap metal. I am appauled that she was destroyed, not only for her nine lives as a ship, but the history and wars she passed through history. To know that the goverment scrapped her just when people wanted to save her, is just a motal sin!! My Father was on that ship in Korea as a gunner's mate and the tales he tells just gives me chills. He has passed on, but I am writing his stories down and I will publish his biography in the future. Would love old pictures of her, as her service in wars goes from decade to decade. Please contact me.
Thank you, Daughter of sailor
