My Father served on ARL 32 USS Bellona from Its Maiden Voyage until It sunk off of Iwo Jima in July or August 1945 All hands made it to shore and were put to work on Iwo Jima, until they were transfered to other ships. His name and and Rank are Henry(Harry,Smitty)Smith From Phila Pa.I believe He was a First class Shipfitter. Later he was Transfered to the Aircraft Carrier Cv-36 Assign To Damage Control If any of his old shipmates should read this it would be nice to hear from you.

I was on Askari from 1/69 to 1/70. I left her as an EN3. I was with the inside engine shop and worked mainly with transmissions. I stood BID patrol on the Mike 6. My most memorable time was in Sasabo while in dry dock. I'm looking for another engineman by the name of Wilkens. A short stocky guy. I don't remember the exact spelling. He was shot in the face with a 12 gauge while on watch. I have quite a few pictures from my time on board
