I am a plank owner as well I was in M division sailed around the horn and the Gitmo cruise Hawaii, Hong Kong and all the rest Loved the bull fights in Peru Got discharged in the phillipines in 63.. my time was up I was a kiddie cruiser. Sorry I did not stay in but I was young and foolish.
Did any of you know who worked on the boilers there in Philly ? I was told my dad , H.C.Thomposn, was asked to work on them but have not found out any specific info on it. He retired from the Navy in 57 sometime and worked at the ship yard afterward. He could have gone by Tommy or Pete. Do any of you recall anything like that ? I was told that the whole system had to be changed. Does that sound familiar ???
Thanks for any info.
Sandy
