USS Moctobi (ATF-105)

***

The photos below were contributed by Dave White of Pickerington, Ohio. Dave served on the USS Moctobi in 1946/1947. Dave was an EM3. The ship had 3 rated EM's and 2 strikers onboard when Dave was there. They did not have an ET and he did most of the Radio and Radar repair. Later, Dave changed rates to ET. Thanks to Dave White for the great photos.
