My father was on board PCE872 the day USS Underhill went down. PCE872 had another vessel in tow. Dad (MM1)saw the explosion on the horizon an notified the bridge. PCE872 proceded to the location and assisted in the recovery of survivors. Since the day of the sinking Dad always worried that there may have been someone aboard the stern when they assisted in the sinking of this section of the Underhill. I had never heard Dad speak of these events until about 5 years ago. Dad got a lot of comfort from this web site when he found out that a search was made of the stern section before it was sunk.

My Father served in the Phillipines at Fleet Hospital #114 in 45 and 46. He is 84 years old, living in Ky, and doing well. He is seeking to make contact with the family of Wilmer Sigelko.In a recent internet search, my father found this website and an email from the family of Wilmer stating they had aerial pictures of the Fleet Hospital. He is very interested in getting in contact with the Sigelko family as he has a picture of Wilmer in the Phillipines. Please respond to my email address. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your website! My great uncle, Cecil Greene was a gunners mate on the U.S.S. Underhill and sadly, lost his life that fateful day in July. The family is proud that he is honored with his name on the U.S.S. North Carolina in Wilmington, N.C. History is an important part of our culture and none more so than helping our young people see the mistakes, sacrifices and victories of our great nation. In teaching and remembering we can ensure that no one has given their lives in vain. Message Number: 64 - Sunday, November 20, 2011 11:56:03 EST - United States
On 11-11-11 Veteran's Day, I attended a Vet day ceremony at the Utah State Capitol Bldg. At the close of the event I made a request for the Army Band to play Taps for the 112 men we lost on the Underhill July 24 1945. It really made my day.

My father, John D. Nutter, served on the Underhill. When I was a kid, he used to talk about it all the time. They were great stories. Message Number: 60 - Friday, August 19, 2011 21:59:44 EST - United States
