For Self-propelled barge T-36 I need to find at which date (sometime between March 7 and March 15th 1960) Kearsarge stopped at Honolulu. -- Wesha (talk) 23:06, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the Kearsarge did stop at Hawaii. This press clipping should answer your questions? Here is a follow-up -Broichmore (talk) 18:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I'm asking is because I have a Soviet newspaper Pravda dated March 15th 1960 that has an article which explicitly says that "at this moment Kearsarge is traveling from Honololu to San Francisco", which implies it did stop at Honolulu sometime after saving the four but left before 15th. I guess the ultimate answer would be in the Kearsarge ship logs, but they are only digitized down to 1961-- no 1960 yet. -- Wesha (talk) 03:23, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This clipping from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin says: The carrier is en route from Japan to San Francisco, where it is due about March 15. (A Pearl Harbor spokesman for the Pacific Fleet said the Kearsarge will proceed directly to San Francisco on the Great Circle route without stopping at Hawaii.) . Same story part 2. Also general interest and Soviet scoop comment -Broichmore (talk) 12:32, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
