Kawishiwi Photos

Two images of Kawishiwi have been posted on Google Earth in South China Sea and in San Diego by Midway Museum today. It may take a couple days to appear.

Possible site in Long Beach

The Long Beach area is another location the Navy Support Museum could be located. Near the Queen Mary Memorial is a small mooring area that could be used for the Oiler USS Kawishiwi AO-146. At the bow of Queen Mary is a Soviet Submarine. If that submarine can be located there, why couldn't our oiler. See: LONG BEACH AREA
