Navy WWII muster lists show my dad, Sigwal Thorsen, to have been on board in November/December 1945. He's gone, died 7/1/03. Nice to see a little bit of his history.
My father, Nathaniel Kell (died in 1996), was the Motor Machinist Mate (now termed "Engineman") Chief, from the ship's launch at Jeff Boat, in Indiana, until the ship returned to the States after WWII. I was an Engineman aboard the LST 509 (USS Bulloch County) and had the opportunity to deliver some diesel fuel injectors to the 1096, in Danang Harbor, in 1968.
