Background

Scope and content:

Albert DiVincenzo was a motor machinist mate on LCI (G) 373 in the Pacific Theater. He describes life onboard. He also describes the various types of LCI. The collection includes a manuscript entitled "Pacific Theater World War II 28 April 1944-12 Jan. 1946," which accounts for DiVincenzo's Navy service. He briefly covers Leyte. The Battle of Okinawa and kamikazes are covered in depth. The material is obtained for �Picket ships at Okinawa� by Paul Thurman. Other information was obtained from the Flotilla 6 newsletter of 2 July 1996. The second section covers "Operation Olympic", the planned invasion of Japan. The collection also includes much of LCI�s ship's deck log during October 1944, January 1945, and 24 March 1945 to 18 June 1945; pictures of ships and crew; scans of postcards, personnel records, newspaper clippings, and detailed maps; and anecdotes about shipboard life.
