My grandfather was on a ship called the USS Mobile in 1943 I found a picture of the crew but no picture of the ship Anyone have any idea where to look for such a thing?
USS MOBILE was the third CHARLESTON - class amphibious cargo ship and the fourth ship in the Navy named after the city in Alabama. Initially laid down as AKA 115, the MOBILE was redesignated as LKA 115 on January 1, 1969. Decommissioned on February 4, 1994, the MOBILE is now berthed at the Naval Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility at Philadelphia, where she is held in reserve to make her available in the case of a military emergency.
It was up near me this past fall (I am in N. Alabama) I believe docked in Decatur. My cubscout troop went to go see it. They thought that was one of the the coolest things we did
