Help with WW2 Knife Engraving

I remember purchasing this knife 30 or so years ago. I have never been able to find info of the ingraving. Hoping someone familiar with military marking can help.
The blade is marked A-713. The handle has what looks to be Y1 of Y7 SF. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
I think it is a personal GI identification.
Could be part of his dog tag serial number.
 
Since its a Navy knife you may try contacting someone that's been in the Navy or ask at your local Naval Recruiter office for someone to contact.
 
A unit armored often marked the weapons inventory to keep track of items like knives, etc.There are no unique serial numbers on knives. Peace Roy
