Comments: My father was a Merchant Marine during World War II and possibly also in the Korean War. He was Charles Joseph Brobst but may have shipped under the name of Charles Brooks due to the anti-German sentiment at that time. He was born in Hazelton, PA and died in Detroit, MI.

Was a real rough trip to Japan as it took about fifteen days going what crew called the Northern Route. We went over to Inchon, Korea on a small ship also. I would like to hear from anyone who might have sailed on one of these Sgt. Class ships and if anyone has a list of names for them I think I could remember the name if I saw it.

http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/lists/decoms.html
Play with the URL and you will locate all sorts of data relating to decommissioned and active ships. Not all troop carriers were U.S. Navy ships. Some were contracted from civilian sources and some were of foreign flag. Here is a site that will give you some photos of most troop carriers and a little history (renaming, etc):
