M. H. Siegel (PSU) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 170604A
128 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 21191).
We detect a fading afterglow consistent with the position given by XRT
(Page et al., GCN Circ 21196) and ground-based optical detections
(Izzy et al., GCN Circ 21197; Schady, GCN Circ. 21200; Mazaeva et al., 
GCN Circ 21203).

The preliminary UVOT position is:
    RA  (J2000) =  22:50:37.52 = 342.65632 (deg.)
    Dec (J2000) = -15:24:43.9  = -15.41220 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.1 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary magnitudes and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
