Scott A. Underhill <g6875@aol.com>
from Bakersfield, California
I find it somewhat strange that my father, PFC Thomas H. Underhill was
with the 96th Division on Leyte and Okinawa in late '44 and early '45.
He knew of the ship, but was not a part of the convoy. Any idea as to
how the young flyer received a ship namesake in such a short period of
time? SAU

We have been seeking information regarding the Underhill survivors and
families for years--54 of them, in fact--to whom we owe a tremendous debt
of gratitude, and appreciation. Our thanks to Rodger Crum for compiling
all of this information and linking all of us whose lives have been forever
touched by that fateful happening, who are forever linked in all that
is, and all that might have been.

As you can see, this ship shares my family's last name. I am curious
as to how this ship was named. Was it perhaps named for a relative of
mine? My husband is in the U.S. Navy Reserve and will be fascinated to
learn about your site.

Hi, My grandparents were Richard & Isabelle Hogus. Their son, Richard
E. Hogus was a member of the crew on
the Underhill. I was at the
reunion in '97. It had been a long time since I attended one. I brought
my husband along and joined
my parents and everyone I hadn't seen
in a long time. We both really enjoyed all the events that took place.
My husband is active duty
Coast Guard and was impressed with the
ceramony at the Chapel and at Arlington Cemetary. Even though we will
not be joining
everyone this year, we send our best. One day we hope
to return.

This web page is a fine tribute to the men of the USS UNDERHILL. I
hope vistors will come away from this site (as I have) with a lasting
record of the ship's history, and the devotion and bravery of her crew.
They gave their lives so that others might live. We must remember their
stories, and others like it, and pass it on to future generations so
that we will never forget the sacrifices they made for the freedom we
enjoy today; making this the greatest county on earth. You are truly the
greatest generation. I also would like to extend an invitation to any
veteran of my father's (Ted D. Lorence of Cleveland, Ohio)ship the USS
GREENWOOD DE679 to contact me at the above e-mail address. I am collectimg
information on his ship and others that I will put on display at a local
museum. I also have many pictures of the ship and crew that I would love
to place names with faces. Thank you for your time. John A. Lorence

from Daleville, VA
After hearing about Captain McVay of the USS Indianapolis. I thought
I would surf a bit and do
some reading. I came upon your site. I
am aware that since the 1770's approximately 1 and 1/2 million men
and
women have given their lives in service of our country. There are hundreds
of stories of our fighting men
and women. I never heared of the
USS Underhill until 15 minutes ago. I am deeply touched again by the
actions
of our friends, brothers, and fathers. My father's best
friend, Roger St.Lewis of
Detroit, Mi. was shot and killed by a
German, the day after the war ended in Europe. Again I am reminded of
the
families and friends who will go through their lives with an empty feeling.
I was born in 1953 and as such
did not of course ever meet my dad's
friend. It didn't take much to pick up that a part of dad was always
hurting.
To all who have close ties to the sailors of the USS Underhill,
I am so grateful for the chance of saying, Thank You
for allowing
me to tell you of my great appreciation I have for your friends, fathers,
and brothers who have given their
lives and served so bravely for
the freedoms we enjoy.

I was there when the Underhill was hit. A torpedo went us and it seems
the Underhill became the next target.
What a memory for a teenager
who just turned 18. I will always remember the sinking and the men in
the water.
To think that could have been our ship. I guess we were
the lucky ones.

Is there a reunion
coming up in California. If so please send info to e-mail address.
