Comments: I am a Veterans Benefits Specialist for the state of WA trying to help a widow whose husband died of Leukemia. He served aboard the USS Paricutin on the following dates: 27 Mar 56 to 4 Sep 56; 5 Sep 56 to 31 Jul 57; and 1 Aug 57 to 23 Sep 57.

I am trying to do some research of other veterans that served on the ship during those dates to see if there is any correlation between Leukemia and serving aboard that ship by being exposed to radiation. Thank you for any help you can provide.

The ParicutinAE18 made its first trip rearming warships in Nov.1950.

It operated out of Sasebo,Japan and with the Mt Katmai were the only two
ammunition ships on station during the first year of the war. We
supported the withdrawal of our troops from the "Frozin Chosen" I wish
it could be added to the list of support vessels who did such an
outstanding job keepimg the supplies flowing.
