My father was Chaplain J W Landrum at Mare Island. I am wondering if anyone remembers him. He recounted to us that only one time was he taken to a ship out in the channel to conduct a chapel service for the crew. That ship was the USS Indianapolis before they got under way to deliver the atomic bomb. I would be grateful to hear any memories you may have of dad.
