ALAN STEINHART wrote on October 20, 2007 City and State: LOS ANGELES CA Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: Upon graduating Class A Radio/Electronics school in Bainbridge, Md. in December 1954 I was assigned to join the Warrick as a RM3. During the following one plus years we sailed out of Oakland, CA to Japan with numerous ports in between. After an accident aboard ship I spent 72 days in the Oakland Naval Hospital avoiding the amputation of my hand due to a major infection. From there to Treasure Island for a few days and then one more Pacific trip on the Uvalde before forfilling my two years of active duty. A great lifes experience!

Entry: 23092 USS UVALDE (AKA-88)	HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF MY FATHER SERVED ON THE USS UVALDE?
SAGE KAWECKI wrote on February 11, 2002 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father, Stefan "Ski" Kawecki served as a DC-1 during the Pacific War and Korean conflict. He was very artistic, and everyone was his friend. He died when I was six, and I have no other relatives to ask. I know he joined the Navy at Long Beach, and he and my mother were stationed for two years in Yokuska, Japan from '57-'59. After I was born, he was stationed at Moffet Field in Mountain View, California. I believe he was on three different ships during the war, and one of them the USS Uvalde. It's very important for me to find out if he was indeed on the Uvalde, as I am now working in Uvalde, Texas and would love to know if the connection truly exists. Can anyone help me find this information? Keywords: "Ski" Kawecki, DC-1
