Some past Reunion Information:
The U.S.S. Hancock CV/CVA-19 Association currently holds a
reunion, for its members, every two years.
We attempt to hold our reunions in different geographical
areas to equalize travel costs as much as possible. In addition, interim mini-reunions are held by various divisions
and groups. See the Reunion Information page.
Our association was founded by Edmund Orchowski of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, a baker during Hancock's World War II service; he is still a very active member.
