This site is maintained on behalf of the USS Bashaw Association formed March 08, 2001 during the first known reuion of all USS Bashaw crew members which was held in Estes Park, Colorado.

Thanks to the efforts of Fred Mochel (RIP) (and Bob Palmer who put together the first known listing of all Bashaw sailors), the first Bashaw reunion was a great success. There was a clear desire among all who attended to continue the reunions, develop a Bashaw web site, continue efforts to find "lost" shipmates.

Interesting Submarine Sites.

Some good reading of "Life on the Diesel boats" "Getting Underway" by Robert "RC" C. King SOS2(SS WW2 USS Bluegill Ron Martini's Submarine Base.  U. S. Submarine Veterans, Inc. (USSVI) national organization   USS Blenny SS-324 site Directory of Online Submariners

 

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online: click here

This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records centers mail room and processing time.

From the 1930s through the 1970s, the U.S. Navy used hundreds of asbestos-contaminated products in all of its vessels, which led to hazardous asbestos exposure among thousands of veterans. Many veterans who worked in shipyards and aboard submarines were exposed to asbestos through standard operations.

The Mesothelioma Cancer Center offers information to veterans about asbestous related cancer and the VA claims process. Click here for a link to the site
