I would like to have a picture of you dad in Patras, Greece while on the Mercury. I have been to Patras, Greece twice while on the Mercury during 1955-57. I also have a picture of the Mercury leaving for Patras in 1956 to take supplies for thanksgiving for the ship that I will be glad to send you for your picture. It was taken while heading out to sea from Norfolk, Va.

Love to hear from you or your dad if he has any more picture taken during the Korean War and where was the Mercury located at that time.


Thanks, Billy Godwin, Sk3 on the Mercury

Would like to know if any former crew members on the mercury Aks 20 or 42 have any pictures of the ship during the war years from 1942 until 1945. She served in the pacific during the war. I would like to have copies of the pictures if possible.
