    My father, Joshua Cloud, was a BT on the U.S.S. Markab. I beleive he served '59-'65.

    Came aboard the USS Markab early one morning that turned into a memorable day. It was the same day the President John F Kennedy was assassinated. Watch it all happen from the door of First Class mess on their TV. Then later I watch Oswald killed by Jack Ruby the same way. The rest of my time on the Markab was  not that way. Great ship and crew

    Join your shipmates from the past in Las Vegas this year, Nov 2-5, 2013. Go to Markab website and print registration sheet and register at hotel. We will be joining the USS Klondike, our sister ship this year.
