I reported to the Mazama while She was in dry dock at the Sun Ship Yards, Chester, Pennsylvania in the Fall of 1961, prior to Her being Recommissioned.
We operated out of Mayport, Florida, and took part in the Blockade of Cuba.
I served as a BM3 in the 2nd Division, and left the Ship in April, 1963.

the mighty Mazy was destined to be a banana boat when funds ran out and the Navy took over and finished building her as an Ammunition Ship

Ralph Hann, March 23, 2010 at 4:45 p.m.I went aboard the Mazama in Mare Island, CA August 1944 and assigned to the First Division. We served in the South Pacific as part of the 7th. Fleet under Admiral Bill Halsey. We took part in the Battle of Leyte Golf, October 1944. On January 12, 1945 we were torpedoed by a Japanese Kamikaze Submarine. After repairs in Guam we headed back to the USA stopping at Pearl Harbor and then to the shipyards in San Francisco, CA. for major repairs. I left the ship…
