My dad, Raymond Mercatante, was a machinist on the Asa N. Duncan. The Naval Archives were a big help with research about his ship and Project Ivory Soap. My dad didn't know about it. I gave him all the info, along with a framed picture of his ship and a ball cap, for his birthday and he loved it. He just passed away June 2015. He had lots of stories.

Thank you for the heads up on the Naval Archives. I'll ask my grandpa if he remembers him. Sorry for your loss!

Most interesting Sys, especially regarding the use of helicopters. Like Demetrious, the operational use of helicopters was a real revelation to me.
