LOOKING FOR BIRTHFATHER'S FRIENDS

Comments: I am trying to find anyone who served on a landing ship tank with Vernon Sweigart during the Korean War. He is my birthfather and is now deceased. The photo I have of him says he was serving on LST 306, but I can't find this in the listing. He was tall and had brown hair and was SN. Forgive me for not knowing Navy terminology. Did anyone know him? I wanted to learn what he was like, that's all. Thank you for any information or advice you could give me on how to find someone who knew him.
