 Bob,
   Could you please put a question out onto the network and find out if
 anyone may know the answer.

   An Associated Press photo appeared in the newspaper today showing a
 Marine writing a letter home while aboard the USS Gunston Hall. I was
 stationed aboard the USS Gunston Hall(LSD 5) from 1969 to 1970. We
 decommissioned the ship and turned it over to the Argentine Navy to be
 used in Argentina as a floating drydock. I would like to know what this
 new USS Gunston Hall is and when and where was it commissioned? Also,
 does anyone know the status of the old USS Gunston Hall?

 Thanx,
