My father and his brother served on same sub chasers during WWII and spent their tour on the same ship.
Have no idea which converted yacht they served on but they were the machinist 1st class and maintained the entire ship

If you read my post you know everything I know about their service or which ship they served.
I'd also like to find photos of the ship and crew.
My father was George Grady Budlong and his brother was named Charles/Charlie
Dad was born Nov 13 1913. Uncle Charlie was 2yrs younger.
