Seeking Deck Logs for USS Pickaway (APA-222)

sshinnebarger Aug 24, 2019 10:08 PM

My father-in -law Lewis Henry Bridgewater served aboard the USS Pickaway during Aug-Oct 1964 and needs information as to the ships location off shore Vietnam. This information is needed as proof to his exposure to Agent Orange during his service so he can qualify for VA benefits. We look forward to receiving the information as soon as possible as his health is deteriorating and the need for VA benefits increases.

Dear Ms. Shinnebarger,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

Dear Ms. Shinnebarger,

This is to provide an update on your request.

The deck logs for the USS Pickaway from August 1964 through October 1964 have now been digitized and may be viewed online using the National Archives Catalog. Please note that the Catalog does not always list logs in chronological order. When viewing logs for each month, you may wish to click on the red PDF icon under the “Documents” heading. This will allow you to view the entire month’s logs as a single file. Once you have done so, you may use the blue download button to download the PDF. Due to the size of the files involved, it may take a little while for them to load in full. Please be patient. If you have any problems accessing these files, please email Catalog@nara.gov.

We hope this information is helpful.
