	Howdee Bill and Fellow sci.military Netters,

    I wonder If any body out there has any information on what ever
    happend to the USS Colonel Willam O'Brian (aka the O'Brien).
    It is a knot class ship (a transport) that my father served aboard
    in the meditirrenean circa 1970 home ported a Leghorn (Livorno)
    Italy. She sailed for an arm of the Navy called MSTS. Does anyone
    know if she has been mothballed, sold for scrap or what ?
    Can anyone give any specifics as to this type of ship, gross weight,
    powerplant etc etc. Any and all information will be gladly appreciated.


						Cheers,
