Hopefully you will find some useful links here. I could fill pages with links but, to what end? I have placed here a few links that I found to be very good places to visit for various reasons. Some are very well done and are excellent sources of information, some will bring back good memories, and some I borrowed information or graphics from and I should repay them by supplying a link to their web site. Some web sites are a combination of all three of the above reasons :-).

If you are going to surf Navy sites, this one is a must see. It is the Naval History & Photography Site and it is excellent.

Two other good sites for Naval history and information is the Naval History Center or the Department of the Navy's Historical Center. This last site is excellent as it has all kinds of information you wouldn't think of such as info on "dog tags", etc.

Are you subscribed to the Tin Can Sailors newsletter? The newsletter is strictly about Tin Cans and is well worth the $15.00 a year cost. It always contains great articles and neat little tibits of information. It is published 4 times a year. If you are looking for shipmates you can go directly to Tin Can Sailors Shipmate Search.

Another site for leaving your own personal information or looking for shipmates is at the Navy Memorial Foundation. You can even leave your picture here for the world to see. If you are ever in the Washington, DC area, stop by and check the memorial out. Great place to visit.

For you guys that were involved with the attempted Texas Tower rescue or if you are just plain interested in Texas Towers, you can visit a site that is in the process of being built at Texas Tower.

Web sites for Task Group Bravo ships:
USS Wasp CVS18
USS Keppler 765
USS Fred T Berry 858
USS Norris 859
USS McCaffery 860
USS Harwood 861
USS Blandy 943
NOTE: If you want all the web sites for a certain ship do a search in one of the search engines, such as google.com or alltheweb.com, as there is most likely more than one web site for each ship.

The following links are to web sites that individuals like myself placed on the web for others, like yourself, to look at. Everybody has a reason/s for doing this as it is a time consuming process. My main reason for building my web site is that I could not find another web site that had what I was looking for, so I built one to satisfy my wants and needs plus, lets face it, I had information from sources other sites did not have (the log books). As there is a lot of work involved in building a web site, please take a few minutes and check out these sites that involve the Lloyd Thomas or the Navy.
The first site is Wesley Tyler's. Wesley took a section of his web site and is using it to honor his father, Paul Wesley Tyler, who served on board the LT from 1957 to 1960.
Another site would be the Unofficial West Pac Cruise Web Page for you guys that went on this cruise.
Last is a site called The Definitive US Navy Page that contains a lot of, guess what, Navy information.

NEW SITES POSTED
Have two new great sites for you to look at. Remember the old "Kilroy Was Here" symbol that was posted all over Europe (actually almost all areas of the world) during WWII - well, take a tour of the site dedicated to Kilroy and WWII along with the Korean War. Check out the" Kilroy Was Here " and you will not be disappointed.
The next site is fellow crew member Frank Biasco's web site. Frank is a "Plank Owner" and has his military career posted on his web site. Check out Frank's site and say hello as Plank Owner's are becoming a rare commodity.
