SAL, Sons of Amercian Legion, past Commander John Calvert of Squadron 154 has been a history buff most of his life. He shares interesting events, places,        and people who have been a part of the shaping of our nation's history.

     "Calvert's History Corner" offers his findings on this page.

After John submitted his findings and the article to me for the Legion website my curiosity was hooked!
I began my own research on the ship wondering about her story.
