Straight out of a scrapbook all pictures and items related to the USS Blackhawk in Phillipines, Thailand and China. This sailor was on the repair vessel around 1938, 1940 - then went to the USS Vestal, whichhappened to be in Pearl Harbor during the bombing.
Very interesting life. I know SOME things regarding his service, please feel free to ask.
