Comments: I have a copy of a letter of commendation that my Grandfather received for his part in the salvaging and lifting of the USS PITTSBURGH bow from the water. The commendation was signed by T.C. Gray, Acting Industrial Mananer. He states that is was a major undertaking. The actual lifting of the bow form the water was well planned and the execution thereof was an excellant sample of team work by riggers, divers and the operating crew of the YD-135. He also says that each man who has had a part should take personal pride in having done his share. If anyone remembers My Grandfather I would appreciate any information you might have.

Comments: I have recently run across a photo in a very old album of my family's. It shows a long line of sailors dressed in white navy hats, dark dickies and pants, thick belts,and boots (spats) to their knees. There is what appears to be a Navy band. They are standing under a store sign "The Paris Drapery House", "Pacific Building Company Main Office". There are also train/trolley tracks in the street and what appears to be a trolley #1 waiting for the parade to pass. All the info the picture has is written "Crew in parade of U.S.S. Pittsburg San Deigo". Does anyone have any information on when this might be?

My Dad served on the USS Pittsburgh 1951-1955 and we're looking for
information about the ship. We heard it was "scrapped" in 1973, and
that it is in Bremerton, WA but that's all we were able to find. If
anyone has info about it's last days and how to get memorabilia, please
contact us. Thanks.
