  • Robbie’s Five Days on Board – on December 30, 1946, the George 1, a Navy patrol plane attached to Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s Antarctic Expedition crashed, killing several crew members. James "Robbie" Robbins was one of the survivors who spent 5 days on the Brownson – this is his story.

Unauthorized Memorabilia

A number of members have received ads from Cafe Press AKA JJ-Enterprises, for Brownson memorabilia. This company IS NOT AUTHORIZED by the USS Brownson Association and we do not recommend doing business with them. We have requested in the past that they stop using the Brownson logo and they have refused.
