Archives: USS Sentry - Another logbook identified

Andre pulled an identification for this one out of his hat, going by
memory with only the number of the ship written on the cover of the
logbook.

1 logbook covering October 1944-September 1945. From Wikipedia: ""USS

States Navy during World War II. She served in the Pacific Ocean and was
awarded six battle stars, a Navy Unit Commendation, and a Presidential
