We Called the Captain "Choo Choo Williams" I was a Radio Operator, and am trying to find Chief radioman Porter, or any other crew members during that period of time.

Thanks again for the fine pages, and comments.

Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 19:37:52 GMT From: George Bastien Subject: 5 inch guns Rich, Ran across this picture of the forward 5 inch gun mount, after I believe was a one hour bombardment in Wonson Harbor. I believe the battleship Missouri, a couple of cruisers (one being the Helena), some more DD's and rocket launchers, started the show about midnight. Sure must have kept the enemy troops disrupted that night. Heard there were very many of the enemy killed that night. Hope all is well with you, and I check your page out every day. Have to do some studying tonight, am helping instruct seniors on using computers at the senior center tomorrow afternoon. GEORGE
