Tucson 2022 Reunion








Captain Sells is remembered by those who served under his command as a mentor, a fearless pilot, and a fair and honorable ship’s captain.  We now know that he is also something of an artist, as was demonstrated by his excellent, detailed carving of the USS Mauna Kea (AE-22).

On October 2, 2009 Rear Admiral Warren H. Sells entered the Hospitality Room at the 7th Mauna Kea reunion in San Antonio, Texas.  After announcing, “I’m Captain Sells, dammit”, he presented the crew members present with a carving of the Mauna Kea.  He had carved the ship from a piece of driftwood found floating in Suisun Bay near the Concord Weapons Station.  He now wanted the Mauna Kea shipmates to
have the carving.


After the last reunion, the carving was presented to his brother.
