Would like to have additional information or hear from anyone who either served on the
Mitch or sailed on her. She is gone now, sold for scrap.
I am in the process of getting some prints of film taken in 1954, entering Yokohama and the harbor
there. I was taken back a bit, by all the debris, still evident, from WWII. after all, the war had only been
over for 10 years. I was in awe, seeing ruins and remnants of the war, that had been such a major part
of my growing up years. I graduated from high school in 1950.
January 22,2006 - Received an Email from Mark Kingston,who served on the Mitchell from 1954 to 1957.
Great to hear from him, and he added some links that brought tears to my eyes.
