My name is John Beeson, RD2, served aboard the Uvalde from 9/65 until 4/68. Sailed on 2 Med cruises, 2 Caribian cruises, a long weekend trip to New York City (WOW)and other adventures. Like to hear from anyone aboard during that time, expecially those in OPS Division.

I served as Machinist Mate from February 1966 - spring of 1968 and was transfered to the USS Boxer LPH-4. Interested in hearing from anyone on board at that time. I have been to several reunions and enjoyed them all. Plan on attending the next one. Gene Virus

Returned from Pusan Korea on the Uvalde. I believe July of '55. Arrived at San Pedro. The USMC rear echelon of the 1st 90mmGun Battalion bunked in with the crew and we helped stand watches. The ship carried our vehicles and other gear. Looking at this website brings back memories. I recall getting a terrible sunburn which I couldn't get treated because it was an offense to get a self-inflicted disablement. Also recall napping during the day in the little "gyro" room.

I served on board for 9 months, between 62 & 63. Bob Lang RM2. First met the ship in PR. The ship tied up outside the Sandoval. CID jumped aboard before anyone could get off. Someone was missing. Remember the Cuban blockade. I was discharge when the ship departed on Med cruise. Always regretted not extending.

Great duty on the Uvalde '44 & '45 The war ended and she left Sesabo for Brisbane. What duty! Later to New Guinea for Christmas and back to Sydney. No one wanted to go home.

Correction on previous entry from Bob Lang. I believe the ship we tied up next to in San Juan was the Francis Marion. Sorrry, got confused.

I am doing research for gifts for my father, Thomas A. Whitaker. He served on this ship. Don't know the dates yet. I am looking for any memorabilia from each ship to make a shadow box for each one. He also served on the USS Yorktown, USS Pinnacle, USS Okinawa, USS Annapolis, and the USS Truxton. Your site is great.

My father, Ephriam (Eph) Nathanial Gray was aboard this ship from 1948-1952. He was a third class store keeper with Company 140 and boarded ship in Oakland, California. My father is alive now 74 years old and lives in California. Please write to me if you knew my Dad so I can pass everything along to him. I am his oldest daughter, Deborah and I am doing the research for him. He is especially curious about his old best friend, JJ Garvis, French-Canadian. He would love to hear from all of you, please write. Thank you on behalf of my father, Ephriam Gray.
