My father, Victor Wayne Davis (1910-1999), was on the USS New Mexico in 1934. I have several scrapbooks of clippings and photos and would be happy to share them with you for your site. Also, are there any postings from others whose family was on the USS New Mexico c. 1934-1936? I would like to learn more about this ship, this era, the sailors, etc. Feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
Carol (Davis) Albrecht

I was recently given information about my Great-grandfather when he served in the U.S. Navy. I've been doing some research in the hopes to find something about his short career in the Military. When I came across your message it got my attention. My Great-Grandfather served aboard the USS New Mexico from Jan 1920 to Sep 1920. His name his Emmett Murphy serving as a Fireman Second Class (F2C) or a Fireman Third Class (F3C).  I'm putting together a room dedicated to my family that has served in the military. I'm currently serving in the Navy falling my grandfather footsteps as he did with his father before him. It would be of great honor for me
and my family if you have any pictures, that your willing to share, of him or even of his ship around this time
period. I will appreciate any information you may have. 

Thank you in advance,
Matt Gutridge

I've been posting the photos I have of my Grandfather, Einar B.V. Schon who served on the USS New Mexico beginning in 1919 anywhere I can find a place to post them. I have a quest to get his shipmate's families to find their ancestors in my Grandfather's photographs, as some of them were even LABELED with the person's name! I've included photos of his handwritten comments on the backside to be helpful. I'm glad to see you actually HAVE a few photos of the USS New Mexico from 1919! It's pretty rare to find any site that even ALLOWS you to post stuff without having to label it as 1940, etc. arrgh.

Einar B.V. Schon (Date of birth 03-21-03) I think. Served as signalman (I believe), as he used the semaphore flags, and used to love to send me secret messages in Morse Code at the dinner table when I was a child! Was in the navy starting in 1919, and I'm not sure when he got out. I have MANY more photographs that I haven't had time to scan, and I can't remember the Californian city that he had them developed at, but it is probably near a naval base. Please contact me if you can use my photos!  I'd love to contribute!
