Welcome to the USS KNAPP

 

USS Knapp Logbook

I was lucky enough to share the Knapp's amazing WWII history this week with my daughter's 5th grade class. I shared the medals the Knapp earned, I read the Knapp Sack and I told stories of Tony the 15 years old who worked in the mess. At 11 years old many of the kids had brothers that were in high school. Explaining to them how you went half way around the world was enlightening. Thank you for all you did! The only thing missing was my grandfather, Lowell Hammond. He told the story 3 years ago at my oldest daughters school. Keep the Knapp alive!

Dear Mr. Smith:
The students certainly enjoyed your wonderful presentation about the U.S.S. Knapp. They were thrilled to have you come in and show them the fascinating pictures and model of the destroyer. Thank you for making history come alive for them. They said they wish you could come and teach Social Studies everyday! I told them I would try to make that happen!
Thanks again,
Mrs. Irwin 5th grade teacher, Washington Gifted School

My dad served on the USS Knapp in WWII and I found a picture of him on this site I have never seen before. What a gift to have today. He was Johnnie Lee King and is now deceased. Tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day and I am reminded of all the men who served during WWII to protect our shores. Thank you one and all.

My deceased husband, Roy Frank Kinzalow served aboard
the USS Knapp between 1943-1945. I have been to one reunion
in New Jersey in the early 80's. This was a wonderful experience to meet all the guys that were there that served during WW11. I remember the name "Wicky" Wickenhouser.,
On this Memorable Day I would like to thank each and everyone for your service!! Does anyone out there remember
Roy (Frank)? God Bless America!!

My Dad, Charles R. Stewart was in the Navy during WWII and after my Mother died (recently) we found some of his Navy information and discovered that he served on the USS Knapp. My Father passed away in 1975 and had never talked about his service. As kids we were forbidden to look into the drawer that contained his Navy information and pictures (some with scantily clad women). My Dad was in one of the pictures from the website. A few others in the picture were also listed as companions in a book that Dad had kept. They were Walter Gill, Jack Steward and JJ Burns. Does anyone remember my Dad? Thanks for any answering if you have any information.

Blessings to you all, :)
