Source Narrative
June 18, 1991 San Diego, California Petty Officer Third Class (PO3) (Electronic Warfare Technician) Jason William Dies, United States Navy, was last seen on June 7, 1991, when his ship, the USS HORNE (CG-30) returned to its home port, Naval Base San Diego, California, after completing a deployment in support of the Gulf War. PO3 Dies failed to report to his new Command onboard Corry Station Pensacola, Florida, in July 1991, where he was expected to attend advanced training.
