THE USS SAINT PAUL (CA-73) official web site!
This site is sponsored by the USS SAINT PAUL ASSOCIATION, which is comprised of former sailors and marines who served aboard the ship during her service to our country.

About The Website's Webmaster Mario C. Chavez
The transport ship USS General W.A. Mann AP112 took him and others to Subic Bay, NAVAL BASE Republic of the Philippines. From there an Airline Transport tracked the USS SAINT PAUL CA-73 throughout Westpac. After several weeks of flying back and forth, Mario finally boarded the SHIP at its home port of Yokosuka, Japan. The "Fighting Saint" became his home from 1961 to 1965.
After 4 years and 4 months (four month extension due to the Cuban Crisis) in the Navy, Mario C. Chavez attended the University of Texas at El Paso majoring in Business Administration. He later worked for The El Paso Times, Inc., and stayed with the newspaper company for 30 years.
Mr. Chavez created and manages, besides his personal web site, marioswebsite.com, other web sites free of charge. The web sites: margaritas1.com,Idasweb.com, elpasolinedance.com, danceonUSA.com, all serve his community in many ways. He is creating and will manage the Just for Kicks web site which will serve those that are disabled, cancer patients, nursing homes, orphans' homes, and in general contribute to the needy of the community. Mario C. Chavez is the author of the popular novel “The Kids on the Block,” and is working on a new novel titled, “Will Write for Food.” _______________
