Comments: My three uncles, Emmett (deceased in 2001), Wayne (deceased), and Herchel Thornton served on the USS Frank Knox during the Korean conflict. Some local Arkansas newspapers dubbed the ship "USS Thornton" in articles featuring them. Would like to correspond with anyone who might remember them to get a better idea of their military history for my family research. Thank you.

Comments: My father was a radarman on the USS Knox during World War II. I have photos of friends and fellow shipmates which may be of use to someone needing information. I do not know too much other than my dad was in a typhoon on the Knox and had to be sent home for a mental breakdown. The time period should be around 1945. His name is Billy C. Browning and is now deceased.
