We are seeking information on the USS Edward McDonnell and her crews. Files and photos may be E-mailed to us and we will incorporate them into this page. When enough information has been assembled we will then build the ship her own section.

Notice to all of the Edward McDonnell shipmates:

These pages are going through some re-construction. They will have the look & feel of the Knox class :) Shipmates who have e-mail on this page will want to contact us so we can up-date their e-mail address. (Please, only those shipmates on this page. We will get to all other requests in due course.)
