My father, Jim Hatfield served on the ship HMS Speaker during WWII.
Are there any contact e-mail addresses for anyone else who served on the ship? Would appreciate hearing from them.

by Mrs. James B. Sykes and reclassified CVE-40 on 15 July
1943. She was transferred to the United Kingdom under
Lend-Lease on 20 November 1943, and served as HMS SPEAKER.
She was returned to the United States on 27 July 1946 and
