Comments: I was hoping to get any information on my grandpa Rollo McGinness who served on the USS Henley. I never got to know about any part of that side of his life until recently because he isn't here anymore to share anything with me. If anyone has any information or stories about my grandpa I would really appreciate it.

Comments: I am the editor of the USS Henley newsletter, the Henley STEAMER. I am looking for copy for our newsletter. The Henley was in Korean waters but did not see action in the war. This is the third USS Henley, the second was at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941, got underway and fired at the attacking aircraft. That ship was later sunk by a Japanese submarine. Any information about the entire 30 year life of the USS Henley would be appreciated.

Comments: Greetings, My wife's uncle is a Korean War veteran but my reason for writing is simply to say hello. I experienced my first cruise as a reservist aboard the Henley in 1969. I would go on to serve two years aboard the ammunition ship USS Nitro AE-23. They were some experiences, not a day goes by that I don't have a thought about those days. Good luck to you and enjoy Veterans Day.

Ps: Is it possible to view the photographs R.J. Brooks refers to?
