USS Gordon coincidence

Ken's parents were Americans who were in Japan when World War II broke out. It took a while after the war ended for them to get visas and transportation to return to the United States. Above is a picture of Ken as a baby being held by his dad, coming back from Japan on the USS Gordon in 1947.

My friend Bernice is Chinese American and grew up in San Francisco. I knew that her dad was a US soldier during WW2 and that he had gone back to China to marry her mother after the war. I was at her house a while ago and saw the picture below. She said it had been among her dad's things when he died. It was a postcard of the USS Gordon, the boat that her parents took back to the USA in 1947.
