The pages
devoted to the story of Typhoon Cobra has generated a lot of
e-mail from family and friends of crew who served aboard the
destroyers USS HULL, USS MONAGHAN and USS SPENCE. This
collection is an example and PDN is honored to share them.
John "Jack" Bowen was not on board the Monaghan
when she was lost to the sea. He's alive and well
today. Our search for other like Jack and Evan
continues. As we find them, their legacy will be preserved
and honored.
