Gene,

If you can find out some of the vessels he served on, this link will help with class and ship's history.

Also try a google search on Coast Guard vessels for specifics. Haze Gray and Underway may have some USCG photos as well.

Bob,
Thank you!!!!!! This sight seems to be very informative!!! I will be checking this out in more detail when I am done here! Thanks again.
It will be hard to find out what ship he was on due to the fact that he has no idea about this "project" of mine. While having the particulars on "his" ship would be great. If I can find info on the more popular vessels. I will be happy!
