Well, it has begun. I started the weekend of 6/10/2023 to upgrade the site. This is a pretty major upgrade.The Content Management System (CMS) I use to run the site is ending support on version 3 this August so I have put this off as long as I could! The good news is I have finished migrating the site onto version 4. The not so good news is I am still chasing bugs and broken links. The original software I used to serve up the listing of Sailors had to be changed, which is no small task. I have left the old listing in place for now but am working on a major improvement which will include not only every sailor who served aboard the USS Caperton, but also the page(s) of the muster roll that list the sailor. I am nearly finished with the muster rolls for 1943 and am already at nearly 400 names of men that served aboard her! While I don't have a timeline for completion, as soon as I finish 1943 I will implement the new listing. So check this blog regularly for the announcement!
