I can not find ANY info regarding the minesweepers of that conflict! You mentioned being in San Diego at age 5 and looking at the minesweepers - interesting! That is where Bill picked up the USS Symbol and in 1950 to boot! He was there for several months while they were refurbishing it and preparing it for combat as it had been in mothballs since WWII. He is also interested in locating shipmates, reunions, etc. Your assistance would be most greatly appreciated! Ciao! Marilyn T. Banks
