I THINK YOUR WEBSITE IS REALLY NICE AND I CAN SEE THAT MY FASCINATION WITH YOUR CONTENTS WILL BE PLEASUREABLE. I WAS ABOARD VAQ-129, VAQ-131, USS MOUNT VERNON LSD-39 AND USS MISSOURI BB-63. I HAVE LOTS OF MEMORIES. DOES YOUR WEBSITE HAVE A NEWSLETTER AS A FUNCTION? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

Subject: Great Site

I stumbled across your site while fishing around on google - excellent. Ever since my father brought me a book on WWII warships back from the library about 20 years ago I have been fascinated about the ships and the men who manned them. I have a fairly large library of illustrated books on the subject but was impressed by the amount of photographs on your site I have never seen before.

Thanks,

My grandfather, Petty Officer N G H Temple served as a stoker on H M S Jupiter in 1919 and was awarded the order of St. Stanislas. I was curious to find out what he did to deserve this. Can You help?

Thanking you in anticipation,

The ship USS Crommelin FFG-37 looks great. I used to live in Hawaii and also was in the Navy. I was stationed on the USS Leahy CG-16 and the USS Kitty HAwk CV-63 from 1992-1994. Now I am in the U.S. Maritime Industry on Government contracted ships for the Navy. I hope you all have a safe voyages anywhere you go.

Just a few words of congratulations and two thumbs up for a truly wonderful site! The photos are superb, as well as the information presented. Keep up the good work because this is one of my favourite sites. My fave four-stacker is the Aquitania, and the pictures here do not disappoint.

Subject: Other Ships?

Love the site and I visit often.  I was wondering if you were planning on adding some more historical ships, like the American Civil War ironclads, and Protected Cruisers like USS Maine and USS Olympia (both of Spanish American War fame).  Anyway- thanks for your site, it is a great reference for a naval history buff like myself.

Subject: Beautiful & informative site

Michael, have spent much time on many other nautical sites, but your work is commendable. If medals are deserved, you're 1st in line. God Bless. Found you researching Yamato, which I found searching U-Boats. Many enlightening stories about decent human behavior at war. God Bless.

Subject: Your site

Congratulations! I have only just discovered your site and cannot commend nor praise it highly enough. Seeing some of the photographs posted brought not only tears to my eyes for some sad memories but also some wonderful memories as well. My only complaint? It will cost me a fortune to purchase these wonderful
photographs. Well worth it.

What an magnificent site you have set up, I have only recently discovered it and thus only nibbled at its contents! If the Vanguard and Duke of York pages are anything to go by I have hours of pleasure in store.
I live in a fairly isolated part of Tasmania, being retired I can spend much more time reading and enjoying my interest in Royal Navy history. I might even be able to find the money for broadband and thus allow for speedier downloads of the photographs, the extraordinary clarity of which is a pleasure.

Congratulations,

Subject: Lt. A.H. Cherry

I recently found a book on Nautical Tables at a book sale, it contained papers belonging to Lt. A.H. Cherry an American serving in the Royal Navy. He was serving on H.M.S. Evadne, a tender to Malabar. I would like to get
the book and papers to Mr. Cherry or his descendants if possible. I would appreciated any help on this matter.

I recently found your website while conducting research on a particular American who served with the British. Post number 100 in your guestbook from Gene Jones mentions this officer, and I would like to get in touch with him as I believe our interests are the same.

Sincerely,
Dave
