My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

USS Vixen (PG-53)-- Part 1
I have been writing about Edward Simpson, USN in my Running the Blockade: Civil War Navy blog. He was a Civil War officer and was in the first USNA graduating class in 1846. He also served during the Mexican War on a ship named the USS Vixen. You can read about that service in that blog, plus find the names of other U.S. Navy ships named the Vixen in my Cooter's History Thing blog. Just click on the blog in my My Blogs List to the right of this.
There was also a USS Vixen (PG-53) that served during World War II.
I will be writing about it in the future.
