You say the song "You Belong To Me" was played on a troop ship as you were going through the Suez Canal in 1953.
I played that song many, many times in 1953 while undergoing training in Georgia prior to boarding a troop ship at the Brooklyn Army Terminal and heading for England.
Jo Staffords' recording of this song sounds as good today as it did in 1952 when I used to listen to it on Radio Luxembourg.

 Jo Stafford - Music Downloads - Online
Stafford gained her first solo spots on a pair of Dorsey band hits, "Yes, Indeed!" and "Manhattan Serenade." She finally left the Pied Pipers for a solo contract in 1944 (she was replaced by June Hutton), though the group provided back-up for many of her initial solo hits.
Not only signed to Capitol but able to preview hit songs as the co-host of label-founder Johnny Mercer's radio program, Stafford hit the charts with the mid-'40s songs "Long Ago (And Far Away)," "I Love You" and "Candy." The latter, a duet with Mercer and the Pied Pipers, became her first number one.
She later moved to Columbia and recorded the two biggest hits of her career, 1952's "You Belong to Me" and 1954's "Make Love to Me." Stafford gained her own television program during the mid-'50s, and also recorded the first LP by Jonathan and Darlene Edwards, American Popular Songs.

Charming, disarming, and deceptively subtle, Kate Rusby has already proved to be one of England's finest interpreters of traditional material and other people's songs, and now she sets out to show her growing confidence as a songwriter.
She moves away from the traditional with No Names, a lyrically simple but effective song of parting, and the more thoughtful and drifting Moon Shadow, which shows off the sturdy playing from her acoustic band.
The one surprise is that 1952 pop song You Belong to Me, which was revived by Bob Dylan on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack, and emerges here as a classic, wistful Rusby ballad.

Her 1954 “Make Love To Me” was highly controversial at the time; however, she addresses the song as though asking her lover to make a Fairisle pullover.
Dylan kind of gets to the very noble heart of “You Belong To Me” in his version, which at present is only available on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack.
My earliest visual fantasies about this song were all about aeroplanes, travel posters, and a vast world I was becoming aware of through pictures in magazines, which I was already exploring with great curiosity by that age.

Despite his affinity for Western swing and cowboy songs, King actually came from Polish extraction, which helped account for his eclectic approach to country music.
He was born Julius Frank Anthony Kuczynski on February 18, 1914, in Milwaukee, and grew up in the northern Wisconsin town of Abrams (or possibly vice versa, according to some sources).
His father headed a polka band, and young Frank (as he was called) eventually joined up, learning both fiddle and accordion but concentrating on the latter instrument.

When I got there she told me that Bill had called, that he was with Gene and Paul, and that they were talking about me. I guess I was a likely candidate for the job considering that I had previously toured with KISS (with Piper) and that I had played on Paul's solo album.
