Welcome to the home page of the USS San Juan. This site was
built as a tribute to my dad, MaM3c Karl Franklin, and his
shipmates who served on the USS San Juan. I'm going to do my
best to make this a great site about the San Juan, but I will
need your help. Please take the time now to help preserve the
history of the San Juan for future generations. This site will
act as a depository for historical information to be enjoyed by
all.
 U.S.S.
San Juan Shipmates, Inc. - As soon as I have the latest information on
the shipmates association I will post it here.
