Hi, All! Need some help with this odd question. I was just adding some info to a Find A Grave memorial, and going through the Navy Registers and getting the info on this Machinist. In 1905 and 06, he is stationed on the "Lawton". I tried looking it up online, but all I got was Godzilla myths. Anyone able to help me with the real story of what the Lawton was? 

 

Thanks in advance!
