GREAT
NAVAL BATTLES
Check out this
site that was sent to us by a K-8 School Librarian in
Wyoming, and her Student, Meg.
At first glance it appears to be nothing more than a landing
page for Pleasure Cruise businesses,
but has many Links to some really great Historical Info
on WWII US Naval Battles:

BLUE WATER NAVY, which has a link listed
above, is a very comprehensive website dedicated to
providing information those who may have been exposed to Agent Orange, which includes Hector
Sailors.
On their site, they have a U.S. Government Document containing
a list of Navy and Coast Guard Ships
associated with service in Vietnam and exposure to Herbicide
Agents. Hector and Ajax are named on this list (page 11),
and may be helpful if you need to make a claim for benefits due
to Agent Orange exposure.
You may go directly to the List of Ships on their website by

ATTENTION: We are no
longer accepting or answering requests to have links added
to this page
that are NOT directly
Military related in nature, such as Health, PTSD, Drug
Addiction, Legal help, etc
This small sampling below covering
those websites should be adequate to show our Shipmates that
there are MANY such resources on the web.
I encourage our Shipmates to find more
such sites in your area by using their favorite search
engine, such as Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc.
The websites listed here HAVE NOT been
checked out, NOR approved and are NOT endorsed by the
Association.
TO
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ABOVE AND OTHER NON-MILITARY
ORGANIZATIONS:
I often get 2 or MORE such requests
weekly, and, having been Webmaster 20+ years
I could easily fill a page with a list
of such websites (do the Math).
That said, please don't expect me to
keep responding to such requests.
I AM A FORMER HECTOR SAILOR VOLUNTEER
(FOR OVER 20 YEARS) TO KEEP UP THIS WEBSITE.
ALL I RECEIVE IS SATISFACTION FOR DOING THIS JOB FOR THE
SHIP I SERVED ABOARD.
IF YOU RECEIVE NO RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUEST, PLEASE
CONSIDER YOUR REQUEST DENIED.
IF I DECIDE TO POST YOUR REQUEST; I
WILL NOTIFY YOU AS SUCH.
Sincerely...the USS Hector Association
