U.S. Navy Cryptologic Veteran's Notes

February 2010
A note of apology.

Without explanation, I stopped supporting this website some time ago. During that time many of you have sent information and photographs or asked questions. These were collected in the "inbox" without action.

I apologize for this inaction and I am sorry I was not able to at least acknowledge receipt. I will just say that life got somewhat complicated and maintaining NavyCT.com (and my other websites) was not a priority.

I hope to resume postings very soon beginning with the inbox collection.

Thank you all for bearing with me.

PORTRAIT OF A FALLEN SHIPMATE NEEDED
One of our cryptologic colleagues is preparing a memoir about the terrorist attack at Sabana Seca in December 1979. To complete this work she is looking for a portrait of CTO1 John Ball. She is asking all former cryptologists and shipmates of John to search their old photos.

If anyone can provide a photo please email to:

Encouraged by a Vietnamese-American co-worker, Stacy Hansen, a fire fighter from Santa Cruz Californina recently visted Vietnam. While there unexpected events led her to recover hundreds of dog tags lost by U.S. Servicemen over 30 years ago. Please visit her website VietnamDogTags.com . Perhaps you can help her return these dog tags to their owners or their families.
