No, I don't believe he was.
Are you serious - was he your real grandfather, or are you just wearing his socks? You know, you can get a mug with his picture on it!

The Oklahoma sunk near the end of the war was sunk by U-532:

I like this one: http://www.armed-guard.com/okie.html My FiL is not on the list as he was Merchant Marine. He was the radio officer mentioned. This account is as it had been described to me, except that my FiL says that several old time Merchant seamen died because they refused to drink water collected in the sails, fearing that the canvas treatment was poisonous. Its the same SS Oklahoma that was famously sunk by U-123 in April 1942 off St. Simon's Island. My FiL said no one would have signed on if they knew it had been sunk before. He had previously served in the Murmansk Convoys, PQ-17 and PQ-18. He's not my grandfather. My grandfathers fought the Cossacks and the British. At least one of my great-grandfathers came to the US at the encouragement of the Cossacks. That PDQ you have is a nice boat. Thanks. It has served us well. Amen! Gesundheit!

All lifeboats should have a sail. So to go somewhere first you need to
know where you are. You should not row unless it's a short distance, if you have an engine you should conserve your fuel for a surf landing ect. Joe |
