Daughter of CBM Stanley W. Dace survivor of the USS Underhill.....I am sitting here remembering with great fondness all the years my family and I have attended the Underhill reunions at Annapolis. Without question, my father had a deep bond and connection with his shipmates...his Navy family. Pop has been gone since 1995..and it seems like yesterday. I miss him and also miss seeing his shipmates and their families: Jimmy Clark, Frank Daughtery, AirRaid, McCarty, Macky, Roger Crum, Wooten, Gus, Don Kruse,etc. I remember Culver (sp?) Hall on the naval base where we all stayed at the earlier reunions, the profound memorial services in the chapel....what memories! Thank you for the opportunity of being a part of this special family. Sarah McMullin Message Number: 34 - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 21:42:33 EST - United States
You have put a lot of work into this site. I never knew it was here,but I happened to be googling for USS Underhill because my greatgrandfather was Ernest Clackum,Jr. We had a good relationship, but especially on Veterans Day we would make cards and visit. Really miss him every November 11. Great site. Message Number: 33 - Thursday, October 15, 2009 10:28:13 EST - United States
I would like to thank all who served aboard the USS Underhill. I had a second cousin George Compliment who was killed in action on that fateful day. My mom has kept the history about that ship alive in the family and George has been a hero in my life growing up. Thoughts and prayers to all who served. You are why we are a free nation today. Your sacrifices made all this possible. Thoughts and prayers are will all of you. Message Number: 32 - Sunday, August 9, 2009 09:43:57 EST - United States

My name is Theresa McCarty Gregor. I am Norman McCarty's Daughter. I attended one reunion as a very young child and wish now I had attended more while my Dad was still alive. My Father passed on March 27th, 2004. He now rests in peace and joins the survivors that have passed along with those lost at sea on July 24th, 1945. I am hoping to connect with Michael A. Gilio or his family as I was wondering what information they could provide regarding my Father and Michael on July 24th, 1945. Anyone that has any information regarding actual events regarding my Father on July 24th, 1945, I would love to hear from them. My nephew Michael McCarty has been writing about my Father's experience on the USS Underhill from my Father's own notes and talking directly to his Grandfather over the last several years about what he felt exactly happened on that day. I would also like to hear from Richard E.Hogus's family if possible. My Father told me once that they were very close friends. I hope to go the the reunion next year and God willing maybe I can get my 89 year old Mother to attend. I will try and get some photos on this website of my Dad. PS: I MISS YOU DAD, YOUR MY HERO. Love, Theresa Message Number: 30 - Thursday, July 23, 2009 19:50:06 EST - United States
My regrets at once again missing a reunion. My thoughts and prayers tomorrow will be with the men of the Underhill and their families. Bill Nolte (Cousin of Joseph N. Christie)

To all the survivors, and in memory of all those who were lost, my deepest thoughts are with you as you come together on July 24, 2009 on this sad anniversary. My uncle was Frank F. Grandinetti, KIA. He was the younger brother of my beloved father, Louis. Sincerely, Ellen M. Grandinetti Message Number: 27 - Sunday, July 5, 2009 02:21:03 EST - United States
To all who hold the USS Underhill dear to their heart. I am creating a memorial quilt in honor of all those who died or survived that fateful day aboard the USS Underhill. In addition, I would like to also include those who served aboard, but were transferred prior to that day. This memorial quilt is missing many naval photos of the crew. I have been able to copy the photos from the website and photos my father had. If you have a Naval photo, I would truly appreciate the photo e-mailed or copied and sent, so that I could add it to this quilt. My family will be bringing what has been completed of the quilt, to the 2009 reunion. You may e-mail me @ e_marieh35@hotmail.com. Thank you , sincerely Elaine Hanlon
