Comments: My dad passed way in 2008, always wanted to get ahold of old ship
mates. He was a Machinist Mate, worked in the engine room. Some friends
of his were Brady & Street I have some of his pictures of AKA 13
during those years and would like to exchange with others who may have
pics. Thanks, Mark Klingerman (son)

Comments: I am looking for information for a crewman by the name of R. D. Sexton who served aboard the USS Titania during WII (?) or Korean area of operations.

His son, R. D. Sexton, Jr., does not have a computer and is seeking any information concerning his father. I have offered to search available history, crew or anyone knowledgeable of the ships area of service, duties, personnel, history, etc.

R. D. "Dave" Sexton, Jr. did not know his father very well,I was told, as R.D. Sexton,Sr. was supposedly killed in action when Dave Jr. was 8 years old.

I would like to pass on any information anyone has to Dave, Jr. who lives in Grants Pass, Oregon.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Comments: Looking for Werner Scharlach, who was a PH striker aboard USS Titania (AK-55)about 1951-1955. Attended ET School at Treasure Island with him , but he failed and eventually was on Titania. Met him again on Titania several years later. If any Titania shipmates have any recollections or information, would be greatly appreciated. Did a lot of sightseeing around the SanFrancisco area with Scharlach and other fellow students while at ET School.

Comments: I was a transient about the Titania in 1950 enroute to NOB Guam and was messcooking.
I recall an Aviation Storekeeper Second Class in Supply who claimed that he shipped over on the ship when he was drunk in Alameda. He had been aboard about six month and was the ship's character.
He called himself Willy Horsepump.

Comments: Since my dad passed away in January of this year I'm now looking into his service record. Dad didn't talk much about his years in the Navy but I do remember that he told me the first ship he ever served on was the U.S.S. Titania in the last 40's. I would like to get in contact with anyone that could tell me a bit more about what my dad was like when he was young. His name was Willard Carter, but went by Bill or Billy.

Comments: Hi, I'm looking for info about my dad, John Houston, who served on the SS Titania 1951-'53 or thereabouts. My mom divorced him, and didn't want him to see his baby girl (me). I'm nearing 50 now, with a fine son of my own, whose paternal grandfather was in the Marines and at Chosen Reservoir during the Korean War. If John Houston is still alive and wants to know us, that would be great; if not, we'd sure appreciate any information. I've heard he was a talented pianist and singer; he might be happy to know his daughter has been a performing songwriter, and his grandson is a joy.

Warmly, and thanks to all for your service to this country.
