Seeking deck logs of USS Jupiter (AVS-8), 1950-1952

I'm looking for a copy of the ships log, or deck log of the Aviation Cargo ship, USS Jupiter, AVS-8, for the time period of commissioning in September 1950 I believe to January 1952, serving in Korea. My father was attached to this vessel during that time frame, and I'm trying to put together some research for his time in the Navy during Korea. Unfortunately, my father passed away in October 2011. Any help with this project will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Stiteler,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships and Stations, 1941-1983 in the Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel (Record Group 24) for the USS Jupiter (AVS-8) for 10 October 1950 to December 1952. For access to the deck logs, please contact the National Archives at College Park -Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
