This is a good collection of observations. We enjoyed visiting the site. I was communications officer on LST 768 and during the engagement, I was at my station on the flying bridge, had radio contact with Underhill and was in a catbird seat to observe the run by Underhill and her destruction and the movements of the convoy and escorts. We were designated as the vessel to receive survivors and get them to Guian, Samar in the Philippines. The rest of the convoy went on to Layte.

I love to visit your site because I can see the excellent picture of the Underhill. I posted a message about my father's ship a few weeks ago, USS Earl V. Johnson, DE-702 (Buckley class), which also encountered the kaitens of I-53 on August 4, 1945. Seeing the Underhill's picture gives me a good feeling because of course it looks just like my father's ship. I know half of your men made the supreme sacrifice and it could have been my father's ship as well. For this reason, my father and I talk about and think about the Underhill often. Today, my father just returned from Boston, where an 80 year old shipmate just got married, which just goes to show: Old sailors never die!

Johnny Caskey was one of my closest friends. We graduated from Western High School, Washington, D.C., in 1934. I was commanding officer of the P.C. 1596, and one of the escorts, along with the Underhill, of a slow convoy from Norfolk to Bizerte in July of 1944. I had the pleasure of telling Johnny the good news that his wife Jane had given birth to a son, who is now a practicing lawyer in Towson, Maryland. Johnny was one in a billion!

I found your web site while looking for a picture of the USS Underhill for my grandson, Brendon Holland.
Brendon's preschool has been learning about one letter of the alphabet each week, and next week is 'U' week.
My wife and I felt that a picture of the Underhill would be appropriate, since my wife (Mary Newcomb
Holland) is a granddaughter (and Brendon is therefore a great-great-grandson) of LCDR Robert Newcomb.
In case you are interested, LCDR Newcomb's widow, Georgia Newcomb, is alive and reasonably well at the
age of 103. She lives at a nursing home in nearby Madison, CT, where my wife and I visit her almost every

James Cater <Caterfour@aol.com> from Charlotte, N. C.
My father's ship made contact with I-53 on August 4,1945. His ship, USS Earl V Johnson DE-702(also a Buckley class DE)depth charged I-53. I-53, suffering minor damage launched a kaiten at DE-702, making two passes before exploding some distance away. This contact occurred off Okinawa. My father and his shipmates only learned that this torpedo attack involved a kaiten(manned torpedo) in 1995, when contacts and correspondences were made with surviving crew members of I-53 in Japan. My father remembers seeing the Underhill in port at some point during the war. I would like to thank those gallant sailors of the Underhill, alive and dead, who kept I-53 off that convoy that day, and who make me proud to be an American. I salute you all. God Bless!!

My uncle, Michael Sudik, Jr. (not Sudick), was stationed on the Underhill. On that fateful day, our understanding is that he switched work shifts with a buddy and ended up being in the part of the ship that blew up and he did not survive. If anyone remembers Uncle Mike, I would appreciate hearing from you. One of his sisters, Olga, my Mom, now 81, has never gotten over his death. They were very close! My husband and I have searched for Underhill info during the years, but this is the most informative site yet. Thank you.

The opportunity that all the survivors now have to visit with each other has got to bring alot of joy to each and every one of the men. I know my father looks forward to each visit. Now I have to get him a web tv hook up. If any one would like to correspond with my father or I, please do so.I would love to hear from other sons and daughters of the Underhill. This web site is a great opportunity for the families and friends of the Underhill.

I am Chief Stanley Dace's sister. Stan talked with me a great deal about the Underhill. I asked him a few month before he died what he was thinking when the ship was being sunk, he told me "Elaine, yes, I was scared but that is when your training takes over and you don't have time to think or be afraid". He was a true Navy man from the day he enlisted until the day he died. Stan will always stand 12 feet tall in my mind, he knew what hell war was and he also knew how to be a human thinking person. I miss him so very much. He wouldn't miss the Reunion if at all possible expense wise or job wise. He took one of my other sailor brothers with him to the reunion one year. He loved all you guys on that ship.

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

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

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.

Mr. Crum,

Earlier this year, I saw an announcement for the USS Underhill reunion, and an address and phone number to reply. I called and told Paula who I was, and that I was interested in information about the ship. Because I was going to be in NW Florida in Sep. of 98, I told her I would call her then. We have since had the opportunity to meet, and she has told me much about the very special crew members and their families, who have kept the history of this unique ship going. And she also told me about your web site, which my wife Anne found last week. I do happen to be in the US Navy. I'm a Cryptologic Technican 2d Class, or " CT". In WWII they were referred to as " radiomen" or " special radiomen", but they did the same very important job of intercepting and decoding electronic signals. My wife Anne was also a "CT" student here in Pensacola before we were married, and my dad was a QM 3d Class in WWII. He served on an escort carrier ( CVE 110), the Salerno Bay, performing escort duty accross the Atlantic. His ship later went throught the Canal, and was in San Diego, waiting to be part of the final envasion of Japan, when the war ended. I've told other family members of your site, and will continue to check on it from time to time. I don't have a computer of my own right now, but you can still reach me at my e- mail address until FEB 01 99. I'll soon be leaving here for my next duty station aboard the USS Fife, ( DD 991 ), in Everett, WA., where Anne and I will be for the next three years. If you'd like sir, I give my forewarding address which you can utilize, after 10 FEB 99. Thank you for the effort you have put into this site and helping to perpetuate the history, and lives of the brave crew of the Underhill.

Sincerely,

CTR2 Tim Underhill, USN

My father, James H. Timberlake, Jr., was an officer aboard LST-991 when the UNDERHILL sank. They were transporting troops from the 96th to Leyte. LST-991 was almost sunk when one of the Kaiten sub's passed right below it. It seems the sub changed it's course for the larger UNDERHILL. The sub pilot accomplished his goal and sank the UNDERHILL. My father's ship rescued many of the survivors. In the log of survivors there is another Timberlake, Joe H. Timberlake (not sure of any relation). Many brave men lost their lives that day.

I am a grandson of one of the survivors left aboard the USS Underhill, Michael G. Zimmerman. I have heard him talk about the ship and the sinking of it. I am very thankful that he survived the incident, otherwise, I wouldn't be on this earth today. I think you have a very nice site. the pictures are especially nice, being I am not old enough to remember any of those types of ships. One thing i didn't like however, was the time it took to load the graphic and the news articles. the grapic should have been it's own page and the articles should have been typed in instead of actual scanned articles. These are just my opinions however. I will tell my childern and my grandchildren about the stories of the USS Underhill. Thank you for the webpage.

This site is such a gift to my family esp. my sisters and myself who never had a chance to know our grandfather, Robert Newcomb. This Saturday, Dec. 19, 1998, my grandmother Georgia M.S. Newcomb will turn 102. She is as amazing as ever even with her now failing eyesight.
I have bookmarked the Underhill webpage and look forward to checking in from time to time. Thanks again.

My father Harold R. DeAtley was a crew member on the U.S.S. Underhill. I have always wanted more information than he was willing to give. I have looked for a long time and this is the first time I have been able to find ANYTHING about this ship. What a WONDERFUL find I have made. I will be back. I just wish my dad had lived long enough to enjoy this also, (he died in 1985). He would have been proud to have been so honored with the eyewitness accounts from the other ships, of his ship. His one comment about being on board a destroyer in war times was "it's no place for a 45 year old man to be". He admired all he served with, and missed all who died on that fatefull day. It was painful for him to talk about most of the time so I never knew too much about it. One thing I did know was the ship was blown up on my mothers birthday, and she said she heard something about it on the radio before she went to work and it was several hours before she heard any more about it. What a birthday present. Anyway my dad was one of the survivors and I would like to thank all who helped all of the men who survived, and everyone who helped make this page available.

I was just surfing through a variety of Navy pages and stumbled
upon your page. It brought back memories of the memorial serive
that I put together for the UNDERHILL, July 1990 at the U.S.
Naval Academy. I was the Chaplain who performed the service.
I was struck then as I am today at the honor, courage and
commitment of the men of the UNDERHILL. During that service
and following at the banquet I met several of the crew and
their families. Though names have not stayed with me over
the years, that evening still rattles around my head from
time to time. As I said then and will say today THANK YOU
FOR YOUR SACRIFICE. Your gift of freedom is truly appreciated.
Take Care and God Bless!

Previous visit alluded to ships sharing duty. I served on a DE that did, in fact, see some of the same seas at a similar time, but did NOT share the same assignments. My apologies to the shipmates of the USS Underhill, DE-682.

Served aboard USS Major DE796, after it returned to US (1945), and read about Underhill in "All Hands". The Major was a Buckley Class DE. I believe the Underhill was, also. The division (#5) had 682-683-684,794-795-796. The Major will have 21st? reunion Oct.10, thru Oct. 12 '97 in San Antonio, TX. Call Bob Young (reunion coordinator) at 714-898-7452 for information.

Like it, learning more about a ship in the U.S. Navy that shares my family's name.

Great job. Hopefully, someday, I will find the time to prepare a home page for my ship
USS Ira Jeffery DE 63/APD44. Good luck.

I served on the U.S.S. Ulvert M. Moore, commanded by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. who
was relieved of Command at the beginning of the Okinawa Campaign, due to the death of his
father, President F.D. Roosevelt. Under another Commander the ship served to the end of the
war, entered Sagami Wan outside Tokyo Bay for the surrender, and made one trip to
Aomori, Japan before returning to the States.

When my dad died on April 10th of 1996, I was given a hat with the USS Underhill on it. As I was surfing the net, I came across your page. Thank you for the history lesson.

I was just looking around the DE section, (since I am an old DE sailor, USS Brough DE-148) and spotted the Underhill homepage. Decided to check it out. Good work more of these are needed!

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 !
