My father, Claude Love, died when I was just 6 months old. According to a short biography written by my mother, when mild color blindness kept him out of the Navy, he served in the MM during WWI aboard the USS Western Wave and, because that was a time before they were married, she couldn't provide much more information. I have searched the on line resources I could find concerning ship lists and Googled the ship name various ways but can't find any listing for this ship. Anyone out there know of the Western Wave or other resources that are available for me to research it? Any help would be appreciated.
