Finally, I've reached a Sicily Web Site.  I served during "peace time,"
December 1948 to March 1950.  The Sicily was out of Norfolk, VA and we 
did a Mediterranean tour with a primary destination to Athens Greece to
deliver a squadron of Grumman F4F's to the Greek government to battle 
the Greek Communists.  

I was a Radio Seaman 1. I received some information from the US Naval
Academy but I want to find out if there are any photos of my ship or
reunions.  Please respond.
