| Message | In researching my father's military service I read of the Houston. My father, 2nd Lt Michael J. McCabe, was a Navigator with the 307th Bombardment Group, 424th Bombardment Squadron. Among other targets, his crew bombed Balikpapan nine times. Best wishes to you surviving crewmates and your families. God bless you. -Jim McCabe |

| Message | Dear Mr. Smith, No disrespect perceived at all from our end either. The second USS HOUSTON, a 'Cleveland'-class light cruiser,however, was CL81. There is a splendid exhibit for this fine ship on the USS LEXINGTON (CV-16) in Corpus Christi, TX, and I highly recommend any & all to visit it if they get the chance. With best wishes, Don Kehn, Jr. USS HOUSTON (CA30) Survivors Assoc./Next Generation |

| Message | I just needed to let everyone know that the post I made regarding Albert Phillips, who served on the USS Houston CA-31, was not intended to disrespect in any way the men of the CA-30 who went down when sunk in 1942. I have not been able to find a message board for CA-31 so I wanted to post here for anyone interested. Thank You and a special thanks to anyone reading this who served aboard either ship. |
