Where is the crew list of the USS Abner Read (DD-526) for November 1, 1944?

Question

I had an uncle who server on the Read when she sank.&#160; I want to confirm that and collect as much information on the sinking situation and my uncle as I can.

Christopher, In addition to Jason&#8217;s detailed response, you may wish to visit another part of the Naval History and Heritage Command&#8217;s digital holdings.&#160; NHHC has digitized their collection of the Bureau of Ship&#8217;s War Damage Reports, including No. 51, which tells the story of Abner Read &#8217;s final battle on 1 November 1944.&#160; You can find that account here: https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/w/war-damage-reports/destroy&hellip; Abner Read&#8217;s story begins on page 95.&#160; In this account you will have a better understanding of what your uncle experienced on that day. I hope you find this information useful. Good luck with your research! A. J.
