A legacy address, answered honestly

You found the old front door

This address — /Cony.htm — was the documented main page of the USS Cony Shipmates association's website, which lived at this domain for many years. A directory listing of the era described it as holding "photographs, stories, 'Navy Terms', and crew roster." The association let the domain expire in 2022; it passed through other hands and now carries this historical tribute to the ship and her people.

If you came looking for the association: this site is not it, is not affiliated with it, and cannot put you in touch with it — the story, and what is and isn't known about the association's present, is told honestly on The Shipmates. If you came looking for the ship — welcome aboard. Everything here is written new from cited public records:

• Home — the ship and her people in one frame
• The Builders — a Christmas Eve keel at Bath Iron Works
• The Crews — the Pacific war, the antisubmarine recommissioning, Korea, NATO
• October 1962 — the B-59 encounter, written from the deck log
• Names & Records — including the eight men of 27 October 1943, named and sourced
• The Ship — chronology and specifications
• About & Sources — publisher, non-affiliation, sources, image credits

Two more of the old site's documented addresses now answer at their original paths: the ship's chronology, and the U.S. Navy's 1949 recommissioning-ceremony program (PDF), preserved unaltered. Further legacy addresses are mapped from the Internet Archive inventory as they are verified.
