Welcome to the USS Uhlmann DD-687 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: 1944-1946…I am proud to say that I am a plank owner of the Uhlmann…and still kicking.

Years Served: 1965 to 1967…Joined Uhlman during overhaul in 1965. Undertook 2 Westpac Cruises, then swapped to USS Newell (DER 322) for third Westpac Cruise before enlistment expired. Discharged in 1968, finished university with a Bs.Sci (forestry) degree and have been living in Tasmania since 1971.

I served on the USS UHLMAN 1954 to 1956, Quarter Master, then when they split I chose to be Signalman 3rd Class.

Hello. My husband, Douglass, served aboard the USS Uhlmann in 1962 and 1963 as a Seaman. My husband recalls being near Vietnam during his tours, but the Veterans Administration says the ship was no where near Vietnam during 1962 to 1964. Can anyone provide any information that could help us? My husband has had a stroke, heart conditions, and diabetes and we need help. Thank you.

My late brother Eddie ( Ed ) served on the Uhlmann in 1962 to ‘65 ? He was an Ensign. If anyone remembers Ed please reach out
Thanks very much
