Just received the latest edition of the "Tin Can Sailors" and found our sister ship, the USS Eaton DD-510, on the cover with an article entitled, "The End of Hostilities". I turned to the second page of the article and there is a picture of our beloved Conway. Very interesting reading which contains many references to the Conway in August of 1945. My thanks to Lt. Ridley Monk of the USS Eaton for writing and submitting the article.

I was a radar operator on the Conway in 1944 through spring of 1946...worked on the ship in the Oakland, Ca. ship yard before heading to the South Pacific,,,,Leyte Gulf, in the Phillipines
Would like to hear from any shipmates...I was one of the youngest on the ship, at that time...
Proud to have been on The Conway...

My dad died on 1-8-09 and he was on the Conway in the early to mid 60's. I would like to hear from anyone that was with him. I also think my uncle was there sometime too. Their names are Howard and Harold Black. My uncle is still with us and living in WVA.

I served on the Conway from January 1963 until January 1965. I would like my name added to the ships roster but it seems that the webmaster site is not functioning correctly.

I like the new websight. I was on the Conway from 1957 to 1960. You need to have Otice Vail tell some of his tales.

I was an electrician from 3/57 to 12/58 on the Conway. Native Pittsburgher but wife and I retired to Arizona in 1989 after a career as a schoolteacher in Warren, Ohio. Any EM's out there from that era? Especially would like to hear from Bruno Casartelli.
