My dad Virgil Moore passed August of 1992. Was on board 1943-1945. Worked on the engines when the ship was hit. I have a letter that was sent to him concerning his dedication to get the job done. He was only 77 when he died. He did not talk much about that experience. I know more now than I did when he was alive. His brother was on board with him. He has now passed also. His name was Frank Moore.I wish we had had this website then, when he was alive or I wish I knew of it.

Hello. I am looking for any information for a J.L. Whitmeyer, QM 3/c who served aboard about 1943.
I have recently come into possession of a book titled "The Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet" - War Edition. I found it in an antique shop. It is stamped USS Canberra and signed "Property of J.L. Whitmeyer" along with "January 2, 1943.
Any information would be appreciated, as I am a military history buff would very much like to contact Mr. Whitmeyer if he is still with us.
