REF: World War II ship

[Janet Hofstetter <JHOFSTETTER@ADMIN.CALIFORNIA.K12.MO.US>]

I have a student looking for what happened to the WW II ship USS
Bonhomme Richard (named after the famous Civil War ship).  His
grandfather served on it and he has lots of memorabilia found in his
late grandfather's things--he wants to know what became of the
ship...scrapped?  Rebuilt?  In port somewhere?  I think he would like
to go see it if it is still afloat.

We've tried the Net and yellow pages for sites with no luck.  Someone
told us the Pentagon might have a record but we haven't found a
Pentagon site.  If anyone has *any* info on the ship or a suggestion
for helping us find info, please respond to me directly.

TIA
