The ship that lost its bow was the USS Pittsburgh (CA-72). If i could see the ship with the 306 on it I then could possibly tell you what shi it was. Bob Tippins, USN Retired.

My late father was on an weather ship that was stationed near Guam at the end of World War II. He never said very much about his service time. But he did memtion something about a report of a typhoon that the Navy disreguarded that his ship reported was coming. The account he recalled was the he saw the Pennsylvania coming into port with it's bow broken off. I would like any infomation about his ship or that type of ship he serviced on. I only have one picture of him in the Navy and he was standing near a ship with the number 306 on it's bow. Any info. would be appreciated. Dave Krueger

This blog page is for everyone who wishes to air their thoughts with others. Do not be shy in expressing you opinions. You can have an opinion on anything. I know we are a country with a diverse people. We are so use to having everything. Big houses, big cars, big vacations. We as a country need to have pride and everyone needs to do their part no matter how small or large their part is. We have a all volunteer military that is doing a wonderful job and we are so pound of them. If you don't serve your country in the military then try helping your neighbor, cause I would bet that their our times when they do need help. Volunteer in your community to help out, any help small or large is good. Think about it, we need to all work together to make this a wonderful country. We need a good president that will work to install lots of pride in our country. Bob WV

The price of Gasoline in West Virginia on this date 3/17/08 is $3.45 per gallon. Oil is higher then I ever though it would be. Price of food is sky rocketing. Their is a war going on in Iraq and Afganistan. Everyone is fighting to be President of the United States. Well I just hope who ever gets to be the President does something about our problems, instead of just fighting with each other. We as a people I feel has to take responsiblily in our lives in what we do, such as over spending and maybe once in a while just say no to ourselves. What do you think? I get very upset over listenting to all those people who run our country, tell us everything is going to be alright, my question is when will this happen?. Francine
