If you go to Washington, DC, visit the National Archives. 
In the military records division, you will be able to
obtain the log of the USS Ralph Talbot, which will give
you a full account of its activities, including various
actions related to individual members of the crew.

[mod.note:  This will also apply, of course, to today's request for
info on the USS Edwards. - Bill ]

Now I have a question:  I was a seaman on a liberty ship
during WW II and I'm writing a memoir of some of my experiences.
The shipping company that owned the vessel has long since gone
out of business.  Does anybody know how I might obtain access
to the log of that ship?
