My father also served on the USS Prudent/PG96. He was stationed at Manhatten Beach in USCG. I know little about his service or the boat. I do have a few pictures that he took aboard the boat. My dad was later sent to Charleston,SC. If I can help you in any way, let me know. And I would love to see what you have written about the Prudent.
