Robert A. Vick wrote on 2006-02-03 07:52:39.0
Comments: I was aboard the Leyte when she exploded in Boston. I was a first division seaman apprentice. I was not injured, fortunately. Shortly after the explosion on the Leyte, I was transferred to the Bennington. She exploded the same way, with greater damage and loss of life. I was then transferred to the USS Lake Champlain, where I finished my duty tour.

Comments: I served aboard the Leyte until Dec. 1956, when I was honorably Discharged. I was in the Engine room for most of my tour. I remember going on a Med cruise around that time. Does anybody else remember it. We went to England, Portugal, Greece, Malta, Gibralta and Rhodes. I remember a violent hurricane in the North Atlantic, do you? Help me remember, thanks!

think it is Jessie. Do you know of any way to find roster of the Leyte.
I have tried every thing I know to locate him.

I'm sure this would be the place for that kind of rundown.
