Comments: I'm searching for some information for a friend. Her father-in-law was in the Navy and in Germany leaving there in 1960 and his new bride and child. We are trying to figure out the name of the ship. We think it was the General Alexander M Patch ship and we believe it left from Bremerhaven, Hamburg, or Breinen. Not sure if that is correct. If anyone can help we would love to hear from you

Comments: My deceased father, Ellis Rose, served on the USNS Cardinal O'Connell from October 1950 to November 1953 as a MSTS crewmember, starting as an AB and working up until he was the Carpenter on this ship. I'm looking for anyone who may have served with him, traveled on this ship or who has any information about the O'Connell, particularly exactly what cargoes she may have carried. She was a C5 Aircraft Transport (TAKV7 - 248714). Dad kept some memorabilia from that ship, as well as the USNS Marine Fiddler (1954-1955) and the USNS Pvt. Leonard C. Brostrom (1955-1958). I would greatly appreciate anything you're willing to share about any of these ships.

Comments: I was on the Marine Phoenix when it was hit by typhoon Lorna in September 1954. The ship almost turned over in one big wave, you could hear things banging all over the ship. I think only one got hurt, fell down a ladder. It took us about 16 days, as I remember, to cross the Pacific because of that storm. Worst trip ever.

I'm not trying to pull any heart strings - he is a very unwell man and will not live to his 81st.

His name is Graham Crocker. He currently lives in the Bristol area.
His wife is Barbara.

Comments: I am trying to find passenger list for voyage my mom, sister and I ( Betty J Parker, Kathleen (Kay), and Susan )went on to unite with my father, who was 1st Lt . Robert Parker ( Bob),: ( jet pilot with 26th Fighter Squadron, 6351st
I am not sure , but think we left from San Francisco, though I have seen Seattle also?
My mom wrote a 6 pg journal so if ANYONE else was on that 15 day voyage I will gladly share her story.
I have family trees on Ancestry, have tried to find our ship, finally saw it listed in her journal!! Ship name was mistyped, but it is USS General H.W.Butner, found all the stats on Wikipedia, but not under passenger lists on Ancestry!

This is especially important to me because my sister, Kathleen Marie Parker (Kay), was killed in freak accident while in Okinawa ( flower box fell on her and crushed internal organs.) I finally found the record of her death on a document from American Foreign Service Headed REPORT OF DEATH OF AMERICAN CITIZEN. She died on May 3, 1952, shy of her 4th birthday, at Uchitemari, Okinawa, at Ryukyus Army Hospital.

My Dad's assignment was immediately terminated, as is policy following death), and we flew back to US with Kay's casket. Both parents died ( dad was 63 and died in 1989), retired from AF as squadron Commander at Lockbourn AFB, Columbus ( then became Rickenbacher ) , not sure of spelling), in 1972 as Lt. Col with 29 and a half years! Would have stayed in but President Nixon called via secure line from WHITE HOUSE ( believe Nixon not on the line but Sec. Of AF or Defense! Call was to inform my DAD that Nixon had hand picked him to be test pilot of some jet at that time! He was soooo not happy, gave a few expletives and said Nixon can go F*** himself and hung up, immediately put in retirement papers!!!! He was so angry that Nixon had JUST been in TV with speech saying drawing down Vietnam troops BUT WAS JUST MOVING units to Thailand!!!!! And his 91st Air Refueling Squadron, that he commanded, had been PROMISED they would NOT be deployed again! Furious to squadron and was not going to continue!
Soooo, that was MY DAD! Proud as Hell of him, he was pilot for Bob Hope's 1967 Christmas Vietnam Tour, and he always said that was his BIGGEST thrill! Considered to pilot to be picked for that previous cargo, and my dad had most experience there at that time!

So would love to get info on ship voyage !! Or any feedback from military still alive from his unit!!

Love to all those who traveled abroad to be with military spouses! This was Kotean War era I believe. . .

Keywords: My Dad's call sign or nickname was POGO at one point. Was 1st Lt. Robert B Parker, her fighter pilot, but I'm not sure what plane.
Ship we went on was USS General W H Butner, May 20-June 3, 1952 from possibly San Francisco or Seattle, sailed nonstop in record time to Okinawa.

and Crew List of Airplane Departures, 1947- 1957. Our
family sailed to Japan in 1949, but ancestry.com has
us listed as aircraft passengers (not true, so you
might search both aircraft and ships passenger
lists). Ancestry.com also makes reference to the
National Archives. My guess is that they, the
National Archives have these passenger lists also.

Comments: We left Munich Germany, took the USS Upshur to New
York in the early to mid 1960's. My stepfather was
Army Msgt Thomas E. Meredith.

I am looking for information from that time period in
Germany and on the Munich Germany to New York via USS
Upshur run. And / or from that time period in Germany
from anyone who may have known him or our family.

I don't have all the facts as my Mother passed away
and they are both gone now. She had a picture of me
as a little girl on the USS Upshur on the way home
from Germany.

I want to put in writing what I know or can find out
about our family history, including where we have
been, and what we did. I never got our history, or
stories about their lives, from my parents and I
deeply regret leaving it for too long. I'd like to
leave as much as I can to pass on to my family.

Any information would be appreciated. Thank You
