Hello Mr. Kirst,
My father was also on the USS Ashtabula when it was torpedoed in 1944.
I am trying to find out how long he served on the Ashtabula. He passed away in 1980. Can you email me a copy of the photo that you have? i would greatly appreciate it. My dad was John A. Kassick, Jr.
Thank you,
Diane Fetters
