Tracy L. McCarty (nephew of Gordon C. McCarty) <t_total_lee@yahoo.com> from
Lexington, KY
I have done some further research and found that there was another McCarty
on the Underhill. I appologize for assuming that the Norman McCarty name
was a mistake, as I have learned of Norman's heroic actions on that fatefull
day.

If anyone who visits this site knows anything about my uncle personally
or even through stories from a surviving relative, I would be more than
interested in hearing them. I noticed that on the In Memory page, it asks
about a Norman McCarty. I am not sure if he is any relation of mine or
if maybe the name is incorrect and was supposed to be Gordon. Please feel
free to contact me, because i have pictures of my uncle in uniform from
a few months before he left to fulfill his duties to this nation that
I would gladly post.

My cousin, Lieutenant Joseph N. Christie (Joseph's mother was my father's
sister), was killed on the Underhill. My brother, cousins, and I
grew
up with the stories about him, and from time to time I have been struck
(most recently in the Washington Post's coverage of the
opening of
the WWII Memorial) to read accounts from the survivors. The work of
those survivors -- and their descendants -- in preserving
the memory
of their ship and their shipmates is a moving and impressive tribute.

Here is an entry from my grandfather's diary from WWII, written aboard
the USS Charles E. Brannon (DE-446): "July 27, 1945. We are off the
Northern coast of Luzon at sea. The D.E. Underhill 682 was sunk by a Jap
suicide sub torpedo the afternoon of July 25. We passed the spot about
noon today. One of the other ships picked up 4 bodies and gave them a
burial at see. The Underhill had caught up with us when we were underway
from Bora Bora to Marrianas."

My 90 year-old grandfather, Merle Kimble, served aboard the USS Charles
E. Brannon (DE-446). He still recalls the USS D.E. Underhill steaming
alongside his own ship. He can scarcely speak of her loss without getting
all teary-eyed. God Bless those poor men lost in the sinking.

My brother's dad Frank F. Grandinetti was killed in action on the USS
Underhill on July 24, 1945. My mom remarried my dad, and we all went down
for the 50th reunion in 1995. I would love to hear more about the reunions
and see more photos of the ship.
It's the eve before 4th of
July and I was watching CNN interview WWII veterans who had served in
the Pacific and decided to look up the details of the Underhill.
I
found this site and think it's terrific and would love to see more photos.
I have some old ones and I will look for them and try to scan them in
and send them to you.
Thanks for having this great site.

My father-in-law (Lawrence R. Towns) is a survivor of the USS Underhill.
He was assigned to the Underhill from its commissioning until it sank.
He has his Purple Heart framed. I always enjoy the stories he tells
of the days he spent on the ship and at various ports, and of course of
the big event. He is eighty years old now and I'm going to try to get
him to go to the reunion this year. Thanks to all the sailors that defended
our great nation.

from North Carolina
Thanks for putting this site together.
I am the nephew of Lester
Hughes, one of the many fine men who gave their lives on the Underhill.
My grandmother would have appreciated this site as much as I have
if she were still with us. She never knew the complete story of what happened
to my uncle or his shipmates which I always felt was tragic. I think the
details you have provided could have helped answer many of her questions
and helped her cope with her loss a bit easier. He was her eldest son
and a very honorable man who took care of and provided for his family
in the absence of a father. It is comforting to know he lived his final
days with a group of men who were every bit as honorable as himself.
I
cannot begin to understand the sacrifice he and his shipmates offered
that day in July, but it makes me proud to say I am related to Lester
and I will never forget his act of courage.
The information you have
put together here has helped his family a great deal, thank you for your
time and work, it has not gone to waste.

Underhill. Daddy died in 1985, and I still miss him. This wonderful
web site is such a heart warming tribute to ALL the men on board this
ship, and yet it is so very special to me, because it lets me sit back
and remember how my dad would occasionally start telling his tales of
life on board ship. I guess you could say, in a special sort of way it
helps keep my dad alive in some small way.
I enjoy coming back
every now and again just to see all the new things you have added, and
learn even more about this ship and the men that served on board.
Thanks
once again for such a WONDERFUL web site.
Kathy

My great uncle was William McIlvride, who died when the U.S.S. Underhill
sunk. I have never known much about him, and when I was givin a homework
assignment to research a relative who served, I though he would be perfect.

I have just discoved the web page for the Underhill. It is fantastic!
I am the son of Lt. Floyd Powell Carrington who was killed when the Underhill
went down 24-7-45. I was 2 years old when that happened and do not remember
ever seeing my father. My mother, Sue, has told me a great deal about
him and his service on the Underhill. She is still living in Parsons,
TN and is doing well. She never remarried and I am their only child.
I would love to hear from some of the survivors that may remember my
father. I am told that he was a lot of fun to be around. It would be
incredible to learn more about him from some of his shipmates
It is
wonderful that some many people remember the men of the Underhill and
honor them with this web page.

He
was interesting to talk to about all the Underhill concerns. It was his
work that started the reunions again in the 80's and his help in creating
the website along with Jay. He will be in our hearts for a long time.
Maybe he and my Dad are having a conversation on the fantail!

and for youngsters in school who are learning "Freedom Isn't Free," war
isn't a game, American History, and who they owe for the good life they
enjoy by such studies. Our undying gratitude! And warmest regards to

This is to give a little more detail on Peggy's note dated April 17.
Georgia Newcomb, widow of LCDR Robert M. Newcomb, died peacefully in her
sleep on April 15, 2002, at age 105. My wife (her oldest granddaughter)
and I had visited her a few days earlier and had a pleasant time together.
She thought highly of the men of the Underhill and was pleased that you
remembered her. Although not immune to the effects of advanced age on
her vision and hearing, she was blessed to avoid chronic debilitating
illness. According to her wishes her body was cremated and the ashes interred
at Nut Plains Cemetery in Guilford, Connecticut. Yesterday (May 5, 2002)
we had a graveside memorial service attended by many family and friends,
including a great-great-granddaughter. We rejoice in her memory and are
glad to have known her.

This is for Beth Tracy. For those of you

was the executive
assistant to Don Bellisario. It was through
her
efforts that the information about the
Underhill was read. Executives
are "swamped",
in her words with this material. The Underhills
story
was one of many that are similar because of battle
action, but special
to us because we lost many
who were dear to us. Don Bellisario and
Beth Tracy
saw something special in us... hopefully someday
the
Underhill's read story will be told . Thank you

Hi All,
I signed this way back in Aug. of 98, man how time flies!!
I have resigned to give my updated e-mail address and to see if anyone
knows how to get hold of TOMKOWIAK, FLORIAN J.
I saw his name on
the survivors list and remembered it immediately. Daddy (Harold R. DeAtley)
used to mention this man every now and again. Would just like to tell
him, he had been remembered very fondly, by my dad.
The homepage
address I put there is a link to a Spades team home page I made for my
spades team. It is just a fun thing I did and thought I would share it
with you all. It is quite lengthy 12 pages and takes a while to go through
but is a fun site too.
Back to this site, as I have said so
many times before this is the ONLY place I have been able to find USS
Underhill info and Thanks so very much to EVERONE that has participated
in making it so.
Kathy

On the wall above where he sat in our home town church, there is a plaque
for Joseph E. Ott, who went down with the Underhill. I looked at it again
the other day at church and decided I'd like to know more about this sad
day, so I came to my computer. I usually don't have much luck when I
try to look something up and was surprised and pleased at what I found.
Keep up the good work and I will return again. Joe was single and had
two sisters and 3 nephews. I was hoping I would find somebody from his
family had been looking for more information on the USS Underhill.

My uncle served aboard the USS Kenyon, the sister ship to the USS Underhill.
I was always interested in his stories, and he has sinced passed away,
and now I have access to the computer and was looking up the ships. I
am so happy that the Navy has decided to give due recognition to the Underhill.
I have not visited all the sites for the Underhill yet, but I am in the
process of doing so.

My grandfather, Glen Kearney, served on the USS Underhill. He was a
surviver on the ship, but he passed away when I was very young. I never
had a chance to find out about his life in the Navy. If anyone remembers
him or has information, pictures, or anything that might help me learn
a little more about him, i would appreciate anything you could share with
me. Thanks to all who served, not just on the Underhill, but in anyway
to keep our country free.

I am happy that I finally found your site. It has been difficult to
find info on the Underhill. What is more exciting is that 2 of my cousins,unbeknownst
to me, have signed your guestbook in memory of our grandfather, T.F. Patterson.
I concur with Kim and Chris about this wonderful website and appreciate
the reference to our grandfather. I have just recently had one of those
great grandkids that Kim talks about and she will know of her great grandfather
because of your site. Many thanks and hello Kim and Chris Patterson.

couldn't believe how much they showed his name and
commented on it.
I CAN'T WAIT for the Underhill show. I have space on the same tapes to
record that one as well.
What a tribute to those who lost there lives
and those who served on the Underhill.
Oh yes, about 2 weeks ago
on the History Channel, there was a special on the USS Indianapolis. They
mentioned the
Underhill. I am so proud to be an American where we
have men and women that give there lives for our freedom.

Hi again Rodger and Gang! My oldest son, Timothy, (grandson of John
D. Houglin, DE 682) is contemplating following in his grandfather's footsteps
and enlisting in the Navy! I am so proud! He is also an Underhill history
buff, and has written several school papers and talked about the Underhill.
He was very excited about the Underhill and JAG. The odd thing is this--the
date of October 17 (the airdate) is the 10th anniversary of my dad's death...almost
like he had something to do with the show!
I hope all of you are
doing fine, and each and everyone is in my prayers!

so if you're ever out that way....
I met several of the surviving
crewmembers, when I went to the 1998, and 99 reunions at Annapolis....what
a bunch of great guys! My Dad (Gene), Mother (Betty), Son (Ken), and
good friend (Dwight) attended with me, last year. We didn't make it to

Great resource and information center for everyone with ties to the
Underhill and related navy concerns. My father was Stanley Dace and a
chief aboard the Underhill. I am new to the internet and do not yet know
the exact e-mail address to give. However you can reach me at 99 wildwood
terrace Sullivan, Missouri 63080. It was hard for my father to tell what
happened the day the Underhill was sunk. We did not know much until a
few years before he died. We never heard him complain I suppose he was
grateful to see America again and live a normal life. We do know that
the Underhill was special to him and its crew. I have been in contact
with my representatives in Congress to look into a possible citation for
the ship's crew for honor under fire. Senator Ashcroft has been successful
in getting awards for Joe Manory and Stanley Dace. If anyone remembers
hearing 55 years ago about a possible ship's citation please let us know.

Do you have any letters written by you or your family during the time
you or they served in World War II? If so, I need your help!
I
am researching a book entitled World War II Letters edited by Walter Cronkite,
which is a collection of letters from servicemen and women to their friends,
families, or sweethearts back home. This book is aimed at capturing the
war as seen through the eyes of participants around the world. It will
also depict the daily life of WWII soldiers. World War II Letters will
have letters from soldiers from every country involved in the Second World
War. WWII Letters will be published by Knopf next year.
I would
love to publish letters written by servicemen and women from all over
the world in the book and hope that you will take this chance to commemorate
an important time in world history.
Please note that at this
time we are not looking for photos, other war memorabilia, or letters
written from the home front to servicemen and women, but if the publisher
decides later that it is something they want to include, I will be sure
to be in touch with you again.
Also, please note that I am looking
for letters that have not been previously published in any form. I must
have either the letter writer’s permission or someone who is able to give
permission to reprint the letter(s) in Mr. Cronkite’s collection. (If
the excerpt/letter is selected to be included in the book, a permission
letter will be sent at a later date.) Please try to include the letter
writer’s rank, circumstances surrounding the time the letter was written,
details of soldier’s tour of duty, etc.basically, any additional information
that would add to the letter. Also, please include your complete contact
information so that I can stay in touch and let you know the progress
of the book. If the letter is not written in English and you can translate
it, that would be wonderful; if not, we will get a translation done.
Lastly, please send only legible, photocopied letters before the end of
July, which is our deadline.
If you have any questions about
this book, I would be happy to answer them. (E-mail is the best way to
reach me, and my address is tquinn@adlerbooks.com.)
I really
appreciate your help. Without your support, this book would not be possible.
