My uncle Fredrick Kirschbaum served on the USS Pompano before she sank off the sea of Japan after being caught in a mindfield. JK

Hi, anonymous Fred's nephew. It turns out that Pompano was not lost in a mine field but sunk by Japanese Sa seaplane and sub-chaser depth charges just a mile and a half from the Japanese coast near the Shiriyazaki Lighthouse on Honshu:

The Navy will conduct a dive with photos to verify the first week of June 2013.

Hi Randy,
I really enjoyed the article regarding my uncle Fred. I also enjoyed Elizabeth story. I feel closer to the uncle I never met. Thank you

Hi, Linda! Or should I say anonymous Fred's niece? That article is an except from a book, and I keep waiting for the rest of the story on finding the Pompano as an excuse nit to finish the book. Still nothing more from the Navy after more than a year. I'm taking the month of August off and hope to finish it by September.
