Susan D. Slade Grossl

Tender:

USS Rainbow

Comments:

I have in my possession a photo of a young sailor whom I am trying to identify. The card on which it is mounted says: A-BOO Photographer Cheefoo. On the back someone has written: Aboard Rainbow in China Star. This photo is mounted in a very old silk fram, with a paper eagle above banners made to look like the American flag. On the back someone has again written, only this time it says: <illegible> in Nagasaki Japan. I THINK this young man is a Great Great Uncle of mine by the name of Leland S. "Sandy" Warren who served in the Navy in WWI. Any help appreciated, also if it is him and he did serve on this ship I'd love to get a copy of the picture to anyone interested. Thanks!

I got on the USS Aegir in Oct. 1944 and went to Panama, San Diego, Pearl Harbor, and Midway Island. As did John N. Joll. We came home on a sub unknown to Pearl, we shipped on Orion through Panama, to Yorktown Virginia, Stapleton, Staten Island in September 1945. Anyone know info about Cy Himmellgarn? Or anyone else on the ship with me during these dates? Please contact me at my email:

I came on board March 1969 after a tour with the Mobile Riverine Force TF 117 Vietnam. Took her to Key West in June 1970. Left her October 1972. While onboard I worked in the foward engine room, small boats and the engineering division office. While we were underway I was the fuel king. Wish I could go back and do it all again.
