David, Thank you for your comment about your father. So many of us have the same story told by our dads. Our website is dedicated to the men who served on the ship so we can continue to remember and honor them for their brave service to our country.
Maybe I will be able to see this.
I’m the oldest son of christian howald, machinist mate onboard of the Gambier bay. He was wounded, but survived the sinking, spent days in the water with the sharks and did make it home.
I’m lucky to be here….peace
