Ships' Histories

Web sites dedicated to ships of particular interest to me.

U.S.S. Petrof Bay (CVE-80) (1944) Home page (My father's ship during WWII):

U.S.S. White Plains (CVE-66) (1943) (My father's ship after WWII, 1945-1946)

U.S.S. Cabot (CVL-28) (1943) Home page (My Uncle Paul Wolfe's ship during WWII) The Cabot was still afloat until the end of the 1990's. She was broken up in the early 2000's despite efforts to save her as a museum. However, her island superstructure and parts of her flight deck were preserved and were at the Texas Air Museum. The Texas Air Museum has closed, however, and I don't know what's become of the Cabot material.
