We moved eqipment from Milne Bay, New Guinea to Hollandia, New Guinea. After a stop at Siapan, we returned to Guam, and then returned to the states via Pearl Harbor. I stayed on board for the decommissioning of the ship. I was assigned to LST 930 in February 1946 as a seaman 2/c quartermaster striker.

Federici served in the engine room on LST 930. When the ship came under attack from Kamikazis he was wonded but not so seriously that he could'n continue to serve and ended up in the Okinawa invasion. I would appreciate hearing from anyone having additional information on his ship. Joe My father Joseph F. Federici served in the engine room on LST 930.
