I Was talking to a worker on the ship "Seabird" last week I was authorizing him to use some footage of the ship I have, and he told me that the ship that my father took to and from "The Texas Towers" An air force Radar Station Back in the late 50's and Early 60's off the coast of New York\New Jersey Was the same ship used on "Mr. Roberts".

The story Of The AKL-17 (USNS New Bedford) And The Movie Mr. Roberts Is Told Here.
