Shortly after leaving a comment, I found some information on DE 1025 Bauer. This is not the ship. My father served, I think in the South Pacific during WW II. This ship is too new. Now I'm not sure what ship he served on. His name was Alfred Polon and I remember he said he was a cook. Please help if you can.

Shortly after leaving a comment, I found some information on DE 1025 Bauer. This is not the ship. My father served, I think in the South Pacific during WW II. This ship is too new. Now I'm not sure what ship he served on. His name was Alfred Polon and I remember he said he was a cook. Please help if you can.

I am interested in the Underhill as my uncle, Edward Ponas was one of the crew that did not survive.
I plan on attending the reunion in Maryland this year.
The picture of the ship looks GREAT !
