A brief history of the U.S.S. St. Lo (formerly Midway) CVE 63

Following the sinking, the four remaining escort ships, Heermann (DD532), Dennis (DE405), John C. Butler (DE339) and Raymond (De341) were directed to pick up survivors. Heermann and Dennis were severely damaged and were ordered to Kossol Passage at Palau. Butler and Raymond had suffered no damage, but were directed to Leyte Gulf. From there we were scattered to the four corners of the world, rarely to see each other until the 1980's when we began reunions.
