Irwin "Irv" Fruchterman trained at Sampson NY, after enlisting in January of 1945. Any suggestions on how to track down which company he belonged to?
He then served on the following ships:
USS Cavallaro (dates unknown)
USS Howorth (?- until it's decommissioning)
USS Rooks (for 1 month until it's decommissiong)
USS McCord
Any info, or suggestions as to paths of research about his time at sea would be greatly appreciated.
