This site is to honor the Officers and crew of the USS Eastland. They served with distinction during World War Two in the South Pacific. My father, William A. Van Haften, served aboard her as well as many other fine men. 
          The site also is a place for history buffs and those who are curious about conditions during the great struggle for victory in the Pacific theater in World War Two. Please take the time to read the histories and stories, it will give you a much better appreciation for the pictures and documents included in the site.
           Thanks For Visiting!

This site is under construction and will include more pictures of the ship and crew, and stories in the next few weeks. If you have information or photos you would like posted, please email me.
