In January, I gave a presentation "RoadTrippin' Through History; The Continuing Saga of the USS Montgomery" at the College of Lake County (Illinois). I talked about six ships in the U.S. Navy by the name of USS Montgomery. There was a ship by that name in the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II and the current U.S. Navy.
Right now, I am writing the presentation in my Running the Blockade: Civil War Navy blog.
And, I am currently writing about the World War I and II destroyer USS Montgomery (DD-121). It was named after John B. Montgomery who was an officer in the War of 1812, Mexican War and Civil War. It was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
