REAR ADMIRAL
WASHINGTON LEE CAPPS, U. S. N.
Washington Lee Capps was born at Portsmouth, Virginia,
on 31 Ianuary, 1864. Both he and his brother Talbot attended
the U. S. Naval Academy, where W. L. Capps graduated in
1884. During the next two years he served on the U. S. S.
Tennessee and on the staffs of Admirals Luce and Iouett. Be-
cause of outstanding ability he was assigned to special duty abroad,
studying at Glasgow University in Scotland, receiving his B. S.
degree there in 1888. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of
Science in 1912.
In 1888 he became Assistant Naval Constructor and in 1895
was advanced to Naval Constructor. During the Spanish VVar
he served on the staff of Admiral Dewey in the Asiatic Station,
where he superintended the raising of several sunken Spanish
ships. In 1903 he became Chief of Bureau of Construction and
Repair, with the Rank of Rear Admiral. Later he was given
permanent commission as Chief Constructor.
Rear Admiral Washington Lee Capps was awarded the
Distinguished Service Medal by President Wilson during the First
World War, "for exceptionally meritorious services in a position
of great responsibilityf, In 1924 he was specially commended
by the President for services on the Naval Compensation Board.
Twice Admiral Capps served in San Francisco, where the
ship named in his honor was built and commissioned. From
1896 to 1898 he superintended the construction of the Union Iron
Works. In 1915 he was the delegate of the Navy Department to
the International Engineering Congress, serving as chairman of
the section on Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.
Admiral Capps was retired in 1928, but at the request of the
Secretary of the Navy was kept on active duty. He continued
as a member of the Navy Yard Commission, of the Naval VVar
Claims Board until the day of his death, 31 May, 1935.

1st and 2nd DIVISION
The ISt and 2nd Divisions, known as the deck force, were
composed of the seamen, coxswains, and boatswain's mates.
Gone are the days of sail when a seaman spent his entire time
with his eyes on the sail and a line in his hand. Nevertheless, the
need for good seamanship is just as acute today as it was 100 years
ago. There are anchors to be handled, cargo booms to be rigged
and manned, the boat boom to be swung out, the accommodation
ladder to be lowered, boats to be hoisted, mooring lines to be
tended and a host of other details that the layman is prone to
forget. All of these require a thorough knowledge of seaman-
ship in order that the various lines may be handled smartly and
with a minimum of verbal commands.
Occasionally such jobs must be done as fueling at sea or
towing another ship. When performing tasks of this nature, the

unexpected is almost certain to occur and it is then that a thorough
knowledge of marlinespike seamanship is needed. Men's lives
are frequently at stake during such maneuvers. Events call for
rapid intelligent action leaving no room for the lackadaisical
sailor who believes that marlinespike seamanship is a thing of the
past.
On the other hand, in contrast to these action filled moments,
are days and weeks of nothing but painting, scraping, soogying,
cleaning details, and miscellaneous unpleasant jobs too numerous
to mention. All of this is necessary to a well maintained ship.
Corrosion, the sailors greatest enemy, must be held to a minimum.
To do this every rust spot on the ship must be scraped or chipped,

painted with an anticorrosive paint, and then painted with a color
to conform to the surrounding areas. Cleaning too is necessary
to a well run ship. Although dirt itself produces little material
damage, the damage to the crew,s morale due to a dirty ship
produces a far greater effect.
Another job falling to the lot of the deck force was the load-
ing and storing of supplies. Almost from the very minute they
came aboard, the seamen "turned tow loading commissary stores,
general stores, mail, and military cargo. This is a tiresome job
ending only when a ship is decommissioned.
In addition to the work about ship, the members of the deck
force were required to stand watches as lookouts, messengers,
helmsmen, and gun crews. Each of the above was just as im-
portant and vital to the ship as the "day workn. Most important
of all were the general quarters stations occupied by the deck
force. It is they who manned most of the guns. The seamen
loaded the guns while the coxswainas and boatswainls mates took
their places as pointers, trainers and gun captains.
It is evident that the seaman is the most versatile of all rates.
This versatility required of the deck force did not lead to mediocre
performance as might be expected. Whether Fighting off the
enemy, mooring the ship or washing down the topsides, the deck
force of the Admiral Capps always did the best possible job.

3rd DIVISION
Although the Capps was not designed to be an attack ship, she
carried sufficient ordnance to repulse enemy attacks by aircraft,
submarine, or surface vessel. The main battery consisted of four
5",f38 caliber dual purpose guns, two guns being located atop
the forward deck house and two aft- one on the fantail and one
on the after deck house. Magazines for the main battery were
located deep in the hull of the ship and almost directly beneath
the guns they served. Ammunition necessary to feed these rapid
Hre guns was hoisted from the magazines by electrically driven
cage hoists. The fire control of the main battery was accomplished
with the aid of three MK SI directors, two forward and one aft.
The secondary battery consisted of four 1.1 f75 caliber quad-
ruple mount heavy machine gunsr These guns were electric-hy-

draulic driven and were controlled by individual MK SI gun
directors. Two of the guns were located on the signal bridge and
two on the boat deck aft. In addition sixteen 20 mm. light machine
guns were located about the boat deck and superstructure decks.
Gun watches of one sort or another were always stood on the
Admiral Capps from commissioning to V-I day, the type of
watch depending upon the proximity of enemy craft. Regular
battle cruising conditions called for Watches to be stood on one
5" gun, one 1.1,!75 caliber gun, and Hve 20 mm. guns. VVhen the
ship steamed through combat areas, a fire control watch was
added consisting of one officer for the main battery, one chief

petty oliicer for the light machine guns and one roving gunner's
mate who repaired all small damages. During the invasion of
Okinawa, all guns were constantly manned.
Proper maintenance of the shipls ordnance was vital. This
responsibility fell into the hands of the 3rd Division, composed
of a gunnery officer, assistant gunnery officer and approximately
twenty Hrecontrolmen and gunnerls mates. Adverse climatic
conditions and frequent drills and battle practices increased the
task assigned to the 3rd Division, but always, the maintenance of
the guns was placed before personal comfort. That the guns
were known to be ready for action at all times, no doubt added
to the confidence of the crew and the embarked troops.
The Hne records established during gunnery practices dem-
onstrated the excellence of the ship's ordnance, her gun crews,
and her ordnance division. The Capps was ready to meet and
defeat the enemy at all times due to the effort and ability of the
3rd Division.

4th DIVISION
Aboard each of the larger Navy transports during the war
was a detachment of Marines, consisting of one officer and 30 en-
listed men. The Marine detachment fit into the ship's organiza-
tion as the 4th Division. The 4th Division aboard the Admiral
Capps was composed of men of every Marine division and even
Marine Raider units. The previous experiences of these men
varied from those just out of 'gboot camp" to the veterans of major
Pacific engagements.
The primary function of the 4th Division was to insure the
security of the vessel, its crew, and its passengers. While in port
this was done by assigning sentries to patrol both the vessel and
the pier watching for accidents, sabotage, fire and in general main-
taining law and order.

As soon as the ship left port, a thorough search was made to
guard against the possibility of stowaways. If troops were aboard,
a troop guard, composed of two guard companies totaling about
350 officers and men, was organized to enforce the ship's orders
and prevent disturbances. Members of the troop guard were
called upon for a great variety of things from stopping gambling
games and racketeering to locating stolen property. Certain areas
of the world called for special restrictive measures, such as, the
siezing of cameras while passing through the Panama Canal.
There were special tasks assigned to the 4th Division, such as,
the guarding of all women passengers and the provision of a
Marine orderly for the Commanding Officer. The Leathernecks,

All serious otlenders, whether they were Army troops, ship,s
crew or civilian passengers were put in the ship,s brig, better known
.is the "Marine Hotel." There ax sentry watch was stood 24 hours
.i day. During working hours the prisoners are "turned to" with
.t Marine sentry acting as a Hchaserf' One time the Marines and
their "Hotel" made the front page of all the west coast news-
papers. This was brought about by the imprisonment of I2
Mereha nt Marine sailors, who refused to work, while enroute from
Yokohama to San Francisco.
Besides standing their continual security watches, the 4th
Division maintained a regular schedule of training. Courses con-
sisted of small arms instruction, guard mounts, tactics, combat
conditioning, and other basic subjects. In addition, firing prac-
tices were held from the stern of the ship. Inspections, too, were
held regularly to prevent laxity in uniforms. Thus, every Marine,
leaving a tour of sea duty, was well prepared for duty at a shore
unit. The 4th Division always lived up to the highest standards
and traditions of the Marine Corps and did an excellent job in
maintaining security and law and order during the time the
ADMIRAL CAPPS was operating as a Naval transport. y

-A DIVISION
Few people give thought to the fact that not all shipboard
machinery lies in the engine room spaces. On a ship the size of
the Admiral Capps there are literally hundreds of mechanical
units scattered throughout the ship. The task assigned the motor
machinistls mates, machinist's mates, and Bremen of 5-A Divi-
sion was that of continually.checking and maintaining this as-
sorted equipment.
To begin with, 5-A Division maintained all of the refrigera-
tion machinery upon which the Capp's perishable foodstuffs and
stores depended. The continual functioning of this machinery
was essential in order to prevent spoilage. Each of the 52 scuttle-
butts contained a refrigeration unit to be cared for. Add to this
the various pantry, galley, and miscellaneous cold units, and you
have a general picture of the refrigeration maintenance problem
aboard ship.

In addition to refrigeration, 5-A Division was charged with
the maintenance and repair of all gasoline and Diesel engines
aboard. This included boat engines, Diesel generators and pumps,
and handybillies. All cargo Winches, boat Winches, and the anchor
Windlass had to be checked and periodically greased.
The galley with its machinery presented a major problem.
It contained units, nearly as many and complicated as those in
the main engineering spaces, involving steam, fuel oil burners,
large pumps, a garbage grinder, potato peelers, a dough mixer, etc.
The machinery in the laundry and tailor shop could give,
and did give, as much trouble as any department on the ship. In

The boat engine gets a cheek over
spite of frequent overhauling, the washers, extractors, tumblers,
pressers and mangles often required special repairs and replace-
ments. If your laundry was a day late in returning, don't com-
plain -if it hadn't been for a couple of machinist's mates work-
ing overtime on a tumbler or a presser, you might not have it
back yet.
One of 'the most important units maintained by 5-A was the
steering engine. Oil was forced by hydraulic pumps into the
rams at even greater pressure than that of the steam used to
drive the main turbines. During maneuvering conditions both
pumps operated continuously, in case one fails, the load is auto-
matically shifted to the other. Normal operation at sea required
only one unit.
The complete ventilation system fexcept for motors and their
controlling devices which 5-E Division handledj was another job
for 5-A Division. This entailed a great amount of cleaning. The
blowers and suction and discharge screens became filled with
dust and Waste rapidly. The heaters also required constant
maintenance and repair due to steam leaks, frozen traps and
regulating valves which had become deranged.
When the enormous number of mechanical devices outside
the enginerooms proper are considered, not to mention the great
variety of those devices, it is a tribute to the industry and efficiency
of 5-A Division that this machinery was made inconspicuous
by its continued smooth functioning.

tenders of 5-B Division stood watch on the four, 600 p. s. i., 8400
boilers. Two watches were stood, one in each machinery space.
The watches in each Hreroom consisted of either two or three
firemen and a watertender in charge. Theirs was the job of sup-
plying steam at the proper pressure and temperature in accord-
ance with the varying demands of the turbines, heating systems,
and miscellaneous auxiliary equipment. Under steady steam-
ing conditions the Hreroom watch maintained constant vigilance
over the various gages, indicating the supply of fuel oil, air, and
water, and the temperature of this supply.
The watertenders work was greatly reduced by the installa-
tion of the Hagan Combustion Control board which automati-
cally regulated the amount of fuel oil, air and water going into
I

the boilers. However, due to the extremely high temperatures
and pressures employed in boilers and the rapid fluctuation of
steam demands, mechanical control could not be entirely re-
lied upon and, the watertender on watch had to keep constantly
alert to avoid damage to the equipment or injury to the fire-
room personnel.
The monotony of a fireroorn watch under steady steaming
conditions is broken by the changing of burners, shifting of fuel
oil strainers, injection of soot reducing chemicals, the addition
of boiler water compound, and the blowing of tubes. When
the ship is maneuvering, the normal routine of watchful waiting
becomes one of quick thinking, tenseness, and rapid action.

Burners must be cut in and out and the fuel oil pressure varied
.ts the ship changes her speed. The air supply must be adjusted
to provide for proper combustion in the furnace, and the supply
of water must he regulated to keep the Water in the boilers at a
constant level, Since boilers cannot be secured for any length of
time while underway, the majority of repair work must be done
in port. Valves and piping must be repaired, gages calibrated,
soot and scale accumulations removed, etc. In addition to this,
the ship must be fueled for the next trip - a tricky operation if it
is to be done at top speed and without allowing the oil to over-
flow or the ship to take on a list.
ln addition to the above, further credit reflects on the men
of SMB Division when it is realized that their Work was done in
the withering heat of the fireroom where temperatures were
seldom less than IOOO F. and reached I2OO F. in hot climates, such
as. the Panama Canal Zone. The firemen and watertenders of the
ADMIRAL CAPPS, who, with little or no sea experience, stepped
aboard a strange ship and operated the boilers throughout the
vsar without a single major fireroom casualty, have good reason
to be proud of a difficult job well done

5-E DIVISICN
Operating, maintaining, and repairing electrical equipment,
from truck lights to shaft revolution counters in the bilges, was
the task of 5-E Division and its electrician's mates.
The ship's main propulsion equipment was largely electri-
cal, and in addition, there were four auxiliary generators to supply
power for auxiliary machinery and lighting. Members of this
division learned to operate and stand watch on two, 30 ft. switch-
boards. The operation of the generators and switchboards was
largely automatic due to voltage regulators on the switchboard
and hydraulic governors on the generators. The maintenance
work included routine upkeep of two of the largest marine motors
in existence--the 9,000 h. p. main propulsion motors.
This division was subdivided into three sections-lighting,
power and interior communications. The lighting section had,
among other duties, the job of keeping over 3,500 lights burning
and the maintenance of adequate ventilation throughout the ship.
This section also maintained and repaired all deck machinery since

room auxiliaries were electrically driven, not to mention the
many electrical alarms and control devices, all of which had to
be kept operating continually.
ISION
The interior communications section had charge of a group
of equipment including such things as engine order telegraphs,
automatic whistle operation, general announcing systems, rudder
angle indicators, and both automatic dial and sound powered
telephone circuits. Such communications as the above become
rather extensive on a ship the size of the ADMIRAL CAPPS
and maintenance is consequently a difficult job. However, com-
munications, which is the heart and soul of a large modern
Naval vessel, must be kept in top-notch condition at all times.
One of the most important duties of 5-E Division, and one
which does not fall under either of the three above mentioned
sections, has been the maintenance of the master gyro compass,
gyro repeaters, gyro pilot or "Iron Miken, and the automatic course
recorder.
Although this division was necessarily decentralized, some
of its members working from the power shop, others from the
light shop, and still others from the I.C. room or telephone
central, its members demonstrated their "espirit de corpsii last
Christmas time. When Christmas decorations could not be
bought, the division volunteered to make them. Strings of Xmas
tree lights, a Haming red cross, ten feet high, for the main mast,
and a white star of Bethlehem for the foremast were ingeniously
constructed from spare parts and salvage. Their work brought
a sincere "well done" from the Captain, who remarked that "it
made the CAPPS the shining light of a well decorated Navy
Yard."

The maintenance of the ship's main propulsion plant was
the responsibility of 5-M Division. A twin screw, turbo-electric
drive, propulsion plant furnished the 20,000 H.P. necessary to push
the ship along at 25.5 knots. The source of all power aboard the
ship was four, 600 p.s.i., 8400 F. boilers installed in pairs, two in
each of the machinery spaces. The superheated steam drove the
6890 K.W'. main turbo-generators at 3600 R.P.M. producing a 60
cycle, 3 phase current, 3400 volts. The electrical power, thus gener-
ated, operated the two main motors. These motors were 60 pole, Y
connected, synchronous motors. Each turbo-generator normally
supplied only one motor.
Since the starting torque of a synchronous motor is exceeding-
ly small, the two main motors were made, so that during the
starting period, they acted as induction motors and consequently

A pressure-closed feed system was used on the ADMIRAL
CAPPS. To complete the cycle of this system the steam leaving
the main turbine was condensed in the main condenser and then
pumped to the low pressure feed heater by the main condensate
pumps. Here the condensate was heated and then discharged to
the deaerating tank. In the deaerating tank the condensate was
further heated and the oxygen was removed from the water.
From the deaerating tank the condensate, now termed feed
water, was pumped back into the boilers by the main feed pump,
thus completing the steam cycle.

Lathe work in the machine shop
In spite of the closed cycle in the feed system, there was al-
ways some steam and water loss through leakage, noncondensing
apparatus, and nonreturn drain systems. This loss was made up
by the operation of two distiller condensers supplying a total of
80.000 gallons per day. The entire ship's fresh water supply came
from this source.
In addition to the main propulsion plant and the distiller
condensers, 5-M Division was responsible for the auxiliary turbo-
generators and the various auxiliary machinery located on the
lower machinery level, such as, feed pumps, circulating pumps,
lube oil pumps, bilge pumps, fresh water pumps, and fire and
sanitary pumps.
the main control panel, an "oiler watchn on the lower machinery
level, and an "evaporator watchn on the Distiller condensers.
These men on watch kept constant check on the gages and
meters that indicated whether or not the plant was functioning
properly. Cause of any abnormal operation must be determined
immediately and the fault corrected so as to keep the plant opera-
ting. Many times this called for work throughout the night since
a mechanical apparatus is not respectful of an 8 hour work day.
It is due to the willingness of the men in 5-M Division to thus
subordinate themselves to the needs of the machinery that the
main plant functioned at its rated horsepower day and night,
month after month, through smooth or rough weather.

To many of the crew, "Sick Bay" represented that normally
avoided section of the main deck where one was forced to re-
spond to the orderg "Lay down to the Sick Bay for revaccinationn.
Yet here was a small modern hospital, superbly equipped and
ably manned throughout the life of the Admiral W. L. Capps.
By far the most important function of H Division was the
physical fitness of the ship's personnel. To keep as many men
in good health and on the job for the longest possible time was the
prime concern of the Medical Department. '
Morning and afternoon sick calls were provided for the
outapatients. These patients were seen in the treatment room,
complaints were elicited and therapy was provided. A complete

For the in-patient or bed case, there were 5 modern hospital
wards With a total capacity of 66 beds. Included were 3 large
wards, a sick officers quarters, and an isolation ward for infectious
diseases. Hospital corpsmen were in constant attendance and
ward rounds by the Medical Olhcers were made on each patient
twice daily.
Every kind of common hospital ailment was seen in the
wards throughout the voyages of the AP-121. Diphtheria and

Ward. Medical ailments included Malaria, Heart Conditions,
Kidney involvement and Pneumonia among many others.
The Surgical cases were myriad. A spotless operating room,
which would provide satisfaction to the most meticulous of skilled
surgeons, was the pride of the hospital. Here both major and
minor surgery were performed in the manner of a shore-based
general hospital. Appendectomies, Tonsillectomies, draining of
infections and the reduction and casting of fractures were common
procedures.
A very important section of Sick Bay was the dental office.
Here two of the finest dental units available were presided
over by a competent dental surgeon.
A diversified laboratory, staffed by well trained technicians,
assisted in the diagnostic procedures. The Medical Officer's of-
Hce was conveniently used as a consultation room, and next to it
was the important clerical office for the necessary medical records.
The diet pantry, strong rooms or "padded cells" and the store-
room for medical supplies completed the space in the Sick Bay
area.
Yet not all of H Division activities were limited to Sick Bay.
The ship's sanitation was the direct responsibility of the Medical
Officers. Inspection of food and water, cleanliness, berthing
quarters and the condition of the heads were further necessary
functions. Daily inspection of the brig and prisoners was included
in the inspections.
The record of the Medical Department of the Admiral W.
L. Capps is excellent and can be looked on with pride by not only
H Division, but the entire crew.

Did it concern the safe navigation or communications of the
ship? Then, N Division had the men and material. Quarter-
masters, radiomen, signalmen, yeomen, electronic technician
mates, radarmen, mailmen, and strikers. This division usually had
the "hot dope" on where we are going, when, why, etc.
The "bridge gangl' was responsible for an alert topside watch.
Quartermasters supervised the work for the helmsmen and mes-
sengers, maintained a log in the bridge book and assisted the Of-
ficer-of-the-Deck in his function as a direct representative of the
Captain in the safe navigation of a vessel. ln this latter capacity
he assumed a great deal of responsibility 3 performing such duties as

Radarmen on watch supplied much needed information, es-
pecially in wartime. Radar, as much as any other single piece of
equipment, was responsible for the success of our Navy in the war.
This equipment enabled us to beat the enemy to the punch by
giving us advance knowledge of their position, course, speed and
friendliness. However, radar gear, without the intelligent use of
the equipment, could be worse than nothing at all. It could lead us
to erroneous and perhaps fatal conclusions. It was the radarmenls
job to interpret the meaning of the splotchy, pale, or greenish
screen on which he kept watch. His eyes were kept riveted to

the scope in order to pick out one little spot from among the
thousands of others and identify it as an approaching enemy sub-
marine or enemy aircraft. The lives of 5,000 men, many supplies
and a valuable ship rested on his alertness and ability.
Operating alone or in convoy, the radiomen stood con-
tinuous watches guarding fleet and local frequencies. Radio trans-
mitters in their main radio room or emergency shack reached any
part of the world. Coupled with the two aforementioned rates,
comes the electronic technician mates. Formerly radio techni-
cians, the advent of war and science gave them added duties.
Their job of maintaining all radar and radio gear in good operat-
ing condition was only accomplished by diligent day-by-day care.
"Have a yeoman do it", a phrase heard often on any ship,
usually fell on the ears of the chief yeoman and his men in the
Personnel Office. Theirs was the most monotonous job of all.
Handling the ship's correspondence, maintaining service records,
and filling out reports. The importance of this routine clerical
work should not be overlooked. The "paper workn aboard a
modern naval vessel, although somewhat complex, provides for
eflicient administration.
As can be seen, each of the approximately eight different
ratings in this division assumed its particular share of the load
assigned to N Division and aided that division in establishing an
enviable record.

R DIVISION
The most unglamorous job of all fell to R Division. Theirs
was the never ending and thankless task of keeping the hull and
its Httings in top shape at all times. Something was always
breaking or otherwise causing trouble, and it was found necessary
to keep men continually patrolling the ship looking for clogged
drain lines, broken water lines, leaky valves, damaged bunks,
and the countless other troubles that occur aboard a large ship.
Seldom an hour went by that the call for C and R Patrol did not
come over the P. A. system. Most of us became accustomed to
this call and took it for granted, not realizing that each such call
meant another disagreeable task to be performed by this busy
division. h
In addition to the repair work accomplished by R Division
all construction or alterations, not sufficiently large to require the
attention of a Navy Yard, were undertaken by this division. This
includes the building of storerooms for the use of various other
divisions, and lockers and racks of all descriptions. Most of this

Work was time consuming although, perhaps, from the standpoint
of the carpenter's mates attached to the division, it was the most
enjoyable.
At the beginning of the war the subject of damage control
was little known or practiced. After a number of U. S. Navy
vessels had been lost that could have been saved, more emphasis
was placed on this function, and when the Capps was placed in
commission, provisions were made for an adequate damage control
organization. R Division was the the backbone of the Admiral
Capps, three repair parties located fore, aft, and amidships. These
parties were equipped with the latest of damage control gear and
were proficient in the use of that gear. It was necessary for the
men in this division to master the use of the large and small

portable fire pumps, rescue breathing apparatus, asbestos suits,
submersible pumps, and much other equipment designed for
the control of damage. Certain skills also had to be mastered,
such as, the proper Way to Hght the three different types of fires,
that are found aboard ship, how to shore up weakened bulkheads,
and how to apply emergency patches to a broken pipeline or to
a hole in the ship's hull.
Although not strictly classed as damage control, but closely
related to it, is the routine job of sounding all tanks, voids, and
coflerdams daily to determine the amount of water in each. If
the amount of water in a given void exceeds the safe limit for
that space, the engineroom is notified and the space is pumped out.
Allied to this task of taking routine soundings is the maintenance
of the proper list, trim, and stability of the ship. Here the First
Lieutenant, who is in charge of R Division, must cooperate with
the Engineering Ofhcer to obtain the desired results.
R Division Was, perhaps, one of the least appreciated and un-
derestimated divisions aboard. These men deserve credit for a
disagreeable job performed in a pleasant and efficient manner.

The Supply Department performed Hve major functions
which contributed to the efficient operation of the ship and the
welfare of the crew, i.e. supply, pay, commissary, clothing, and
ship's store. Each of the above functions was independent of
one another, but all were under the direction of the Supply Officer.
The function of supply was to see that the vessel had a stock
of general supplies and that each piece of equipment on the ship
had necessary parts for repairs. In addition to the primary duty
of general supplies and parts for each piece of equipment on the
ship they arranged for transportation of personnel, eligible de-
pendents, freight, household effects, military impedimenta, etc.
The official work connected with these duties was performed by a
staff of storekeepers.
The function of pay was to maintain a pay card for each

ous forms and reports pertaining to those matters.
The commissary department was responsible for the pro-
curement, preparation and serving of the 3I40,000.00 worth of
food consumed by crew and passengers on the Admiral Capps
since commissioning. Two War born innovations in the de-
partment were dehydrated foods and the mass production of ice
cream, the former, unpopular but a necessity, and the latter, ex-
tremely popular and just as necessary. Long periods at sea, or
away from a supply depot, placed a premium on stowage space,
and dehydrated foods were the answer. Ice cream was the answer

A full stock of required uniform clothing, enabling the crew
to be the neatest Navy in the world, was carried in the clothing
locker. Clothing was purchased wholesale and issued at cost, put-
ting the middleman and retailers profits in the enlisted man's
pocket. In addition to uniform clothing, small stores, such as,
buttons, sewing kits, jackknives, whisk brooms, and shine outfits,
were available.
The shipls service store was a combination of neighborhood
services and a retail confectionery. A clean, two chair, barber shop
kept hair trimmed to Navy standards, a tailor shop repaired torn
clothing and pressed dress uniforms, and a laundry washed clothes
for the entire crew. All this was done free of charge. The price
of all products offered for sale in the shipls store included only a
nominal profit. The government is reimbursed for original cost,
but the proht is used as a welfare fund on board ship. To a great
extent the morale and efficiency of any seagoing unit is dependent
upon how well the Supply Department, including the above de-
scribed related activities, does its job. ln the case of the "Admiral
A. L. Cappsl' much of the credit for the ship,s high morale goes to
this Division.

the men serving aboard the Admiral Capps in this division has
been commendable.
Our ship being one of the largest transports in the service,
we naturally have more first class cabins and space than the average
vessel, and so a greater number of passenger officers has been
accommodated. Thus, "W,' Division has had to add to its normal
assignment of around 35 ship's officers, their compartments, the
ship ofiicer's Wardroom and all the area making up ship ofiicer's

conditions found on each separate voyage. In this respect the men
of "WH Division have shown their versatility and capability in
meeting and solving all the problems arising with the change
in services for each new group of passengers. As a result our pas-
sengers have been pleased with the care they have received and
the record of the ship has remained excellent.
In that period of the ship's history before the war ended, the
men of "WH Division all had their battle stations, knew their job
at general quarters thoroughly and carried it out to the best
of their ability. Our stewards and steward's mates were assigned
duties ranging from stretcher bearers and ammunition passers to
an active position in a gun crew. And those gun crews which
they constituted had a record of team work and efficiency which
was unsurpassed on the ship.
In addition to their regular duties the men are assigned
duties for fire, fire and rescue, collision and abandon ship. In the
history of the Capps "W" Division has played an important, a
commendable and a necessary role and the men who have made
up this division can feel that they have rendered a fine service
and contribution to the success of our ship.

of Army Officers and men whose duties were to load troops, care
for them enroute, and prepare them for disembarking. To ac-
complish this, the Army assigned three officers and four enlisted
men.
During embarkation, the Transportation Staff assisted the
men in locating the berths assigned to them by the Staff and in
straightening out any stoppages or slowing down of the loading.
As soon as the embarkation is completed, troop officers are
assigned as compartment commanders and hatch commanders.
Details are then assigned, some 825 men being required for this
duty, and the shipboard troop organization is then put into effect.
One oliicer of the Transport Staff is assigned the duty of
Special Services Officer. His function is to maintain morale during
an otherwise boring voyage by organizing recreational facilities,
publishing a daily paper, arranging for arrival telegrams to be
sent and handling all troop personnel problems.
As the voyage draws to an end, the troops are schooled in
debarkation and drills are held to familiarize the men with the
procedure to be used. When the actual debarkation takes place,
the Army Transport Staff is present to insure that the operation
runs smoothly.
The Army Transportation Staff has done an excellent job
in handling the troops. Due to their efforts the efhciency of the
ADMIRAL CAPPS as a troop transport has been materially in-
creased.

THE CHAPLAIN
The Ships Chaplain cares for the morale of the men in
general and for their religious life in particular.
He conducts divine services at least every Sunday. During
those moments the smoking lamp is respectfully extinguished
and the church pennant flies above the shipls ensign. When
conditions warrant, services are held topside with the sky as a
canopy for the altar.
The Chaplain is welcomed in the ofhcers, wardroom as well
as in any of the crew's quarters. He is confidant, confessor, ad-
visor. The sympathy chit is associated with every Chaplain
wherever American Forces gather and most men joke about the
T.S. card. Yet, as all admit, there is a particular need for someone
to remove worry from a troubled mind. It always helps to have
someone share your misery and the Chaplain not only answers
this need but many times gets a receding hairline for his worries.
The men look to the Chaplain "to go to bat for themw and,
in this expectation, confer upon him his most difficult role. He is
the last resort for a man hoping to gain a special favor, and his
batting average will depend mainly on how well his persuasive
talents work on the Executive Officer.
As aids in his recreational work, a collateral duty, the Chaplain
draws on the Red Cross, the USO and the local welfare organiza-
tions. From these he gathers athletic equipment, arranges theatri-
cals, plans tours, conducts socials. Such activities mean much to
the morale of the American youth whom the Chaplain proudly
serves.

THE SAGA OF THE CAPPS
The U. S. S. ADMIRAL CAPPS QAP-1215 was built by the
Bethlehem-Alameda Shipyard Inc., Alameda California in 1943
and 1944. She was outfitted at the Bethlehem Shipyard, San Fran-
cisco, California in 1944. It was while she was being outhtted that
the crew began to form at the Manning Section on Government
Island. As early as March, 1944, officers and men were assigned
to her precommissioning detail and sent to Government Island to
sit and wait and go to schools. There were damage control schools,
fire fighting schools, gunnery schools, tactics schools, anti-aircraft
schools, recognition schools, telephone talker schools, lookout
schools, engineering schools, compass schools, firecontrol schools,
chemical warfare schools, etc., ad infinitum. When one had
finished all the schools which his duties aboard ship would require,
he was started all over again to see if he had learned anything
the Hrst time through. It was good duty though. The beach has
always been preferred by those who love liberty and never let it
be said that the men of the ADMIRAL CAPPS didnft love their
liberty.
The First commissioning date of the ADMIRAL CAPPS was
set as I5 August, 1944, the second was set as I5 September, 1944,
the third was set as 1330, 18 September, 1944, and finally she was
placed in commission at 1530, 18 September, 1944. At 1330, 18

September all of the crew and officers were in formation ready and
Waiting for the commissioning, but there was no commissioning
party from the District Office and the irrelevant information that
the commissioning ceremonies had been postponed was received
for the first time. Everyone relaxed for another hour and then
fell back into place for the real thing.
To the black gang, who had been getting acquainted with
the engine rooms and plant for two months or more, there was
nothing particularly new about the ship, but to the rest of the crew
it was big and easy to get lost in. For days men continued to be
late for muster because they had lost their way from their quarters
to the division parade. However, there were no reported cases of
malnutrition because of anyone losing his way to the mess deck.
Another trouble was that no one knew anyone else and if a man
didn't want to work he could quickly lose his identity and no one
could find him. This confusion lasted for about a week, then
things began to settle down, or should I say shakedown?
The morning after commissioning, the ADMIRAL CAPPS
was moved across the bay to Naval Supply Depot, Oakland, for
her initial loading. The two catch-phrases and pass-words of the
ensuing week were, "round-the-clockv, and "all-hands evolution".
The first referred to a system of working in shifts, 24 hours a day.
The second referred to everybody working at the same time. The
combination of the two will make everyone who participated
remember that week as the toughest on the ship. Everything from
5" shells to paper clips had to be loaded and when one considers
the expanse of the No. 5 hold and the fact it was filled with beans,
flour, sugar, coffee, and numerous other edibles, one will realize
that it was an enormous job.
After ship was loaded we went out into the bay to swing
compass, adjust deguassing, perform several other necessary evo-
lutions before starting out on the shakedown cruise. It was on
29 September that we sailed from San Francisco for San Pedro to
begin the shakedown cruise. We took our time on the way south
so that we would have a chance to get the crew organized and
acquainted with the ship and have a few drills so that there
wouldn't be complete confusion when the San Pedro Shake-
down Group started running us through the mill.

General Quarters was our favorite drill. We had it at least twice
a day. Fire, abandon ship and collision ranked next in that order.

Then we went into

We were in for

hill than at any other period in the history of the ship. The
average daily number of AWOL's was about twenty. Whenever
someone would get tired of civilian life and decide to come back,
someone else would go out to take his place. One of them didn't
come back until the following February. The sudden transition
from a shore bound civilian to a seagoing military man was a
little too dillicult for some of the crew to adjust themselves to. This
was to be expected and penalties for being AWOL were conse-
quently light.

We arrived in Noumea in the morning of 7 December. This
was our hrst foreign port of the first voyage and everyone was
anxious to get ashore and have a look around. The Iapanese had
never been to Noumea but the Americans had taken over. Traffic
on the streets was as heavy, considering the number of lanes, as it is
on Broadway or Market Street- all with army trucks, jeeps, com-
mand cars, ambulances, staff cars and bicycles. Only one-half of
the crew got liberty but their four hours ashore stands out as the
most riotous liberty of them all. The cargo nets carried strange
cargo aboard that night.
The next morning we departed from Noumea and set our

A lap Transport under obsc'rvazz'0n on Guadalcanal
We arrived at Point Cruz, Guadalcanal, in the evening of 20
December and stayed there for three days unloading most of the
mail. This was our first good contact fand the bestj with the
Pacific Island natives. The Solomon Islanders were too lazy and
unintelligent to work as stevedores so ia labor battalion had been
imported from the Gilbert-Ellice Islands to work the cargo on the
ships. They had learned to operate Winches and lifts but their
greatest accomplishment was their skill at their version of foot-
ball and their singing. Football to them was like volley ball to us,
except that they played it with their feet with a ball of paper wrap-
ped with twine to hold it together. Only their "Sargent" wore
shoes and the rest of them had feet big enough to give them perfect
control, of the ball. Their singing and dancing always drew a
crowd at noontime. They sang their native Polynesian songs
which had harmony, solos, counter-melodies and a lot of other
musical qualities which this writer is not qualified to explain. At
least, it wasn't the drum beating war chant that some of us ex-
pected.
It was at Guadalcanal that the ADMIRAL CAPPS began to
feel that she really had a part in this war. As soon as the cargo
was unloaded, the loading of passengers began. 353 of the pas-
sengers were casualties- unable to walk. Another 358 were
ambulatory casualties, who were quartered in regular troop spaces.
Those who saw the number of missing legs and arms and band-
aged eyes will never forget it. If we could take these men home
quickly and safely we felt that we at least would have helped a
little.

Loading Casualties in Espirita Santo
We sailed for Esperito Santos, New Hebrides Islands, on the
14th of December and arrived there in the afternoon of the 15th.
Unloading of mail and embarking of passengers Was completed
that night and the next morning, and We sailed for San Francisco
on the afternoon of the 16th. We were diverted to San Diego on
the 23rd and arrived there in the evening of the 26th. Thus we
had sailed on Thanksgiving Day and arrived back on the day
after Christmas. All of the casualties and most of the passen-
gers Were unloaded at San Diego and in less than 24 hours we
were on our Way to San Francisco again.
We arrived in San Francisco late in the evening of the 28th
of December, 1944, completing the maiden voyage. lt was dis-
covered in the inspections of the ship during the following Week

during shakedownb, too much strain had been placed on the
main propulsion motors and that the pole pieces had been pulled
out of shape to such an extent that they would have to be re-
placed. There were several other desirable alterations and nec-
essary repairs, which would have warranted an availability period,
but because of the large number of ships in the San Francisco
harbor at the time, it was deemed necessary to repair only the
motors. Thirty-five days elapsed before the ADMIRAL CAPPS
was ready to sail again.
This was regarded by many as the best in-port period of any
that we ever had. Being close in to town made liberty very con-
venient as well as enjoyable. It was there that we "got" our first
dock. It was about 0730 one morning, when the marine officer had
the gangway, that the bollards and cleats on the pier began to pull
out, one by one, and the ship drifted out into the slip. The marine
officer didn't know what to do so he did nothing-thus greatly
reducing the amount of confusion which is customarily present
at such operations. The day's duty officer ordered the anchor
dropped to hold us in our displaced position and then lowered
a boat to carry lines back to the dock. These lines were then used
to warp us into the dock.
We were ready to sail again on 5 February, loaded with 3215
passengers bound for New Guinea. Our first stop was Finchafen,
British New Guinea. We entered the harbor, received orders
to go to Hollandia, turned around and departed. If you call
that an in-port turn around, that was our fastest. We now thought
that we were getting into the war zone. There were Iaps all
around us- they were all starving and hadn't fought back
for months but they were still Iaps. We thought that there

Relieving the forezop
would still be fighting at Hollandia. We were sadly disappointed.
No submarines attacked us, we ran into no mines, no airplanes
strafed us and no surface raiders shelled us. As a matter of fact,
we found that the closer we got to the fighting, the brighter the
lights burned at night. Los Angeles harbor was better blacked
out than Hollandia or any of the other bases we later visited.
We arrived in Hollandia in the early morning fog of 21 Feb-
ruary. There we waited for a convoy to form so that we could
proceed to Leyte, but the convoy of three ships and two escorts
took a week to form and in the meantime we picked up 647 pas-
sengers, 157 tons of hold cargo and 27 tons of deck cargo. We
would have had more had we been willing to take it. They
seemed to be trying to move all of Hollandia up to Leyte.
In the late afternoon of 28 February our convoy formed. We
were convoy commodore, the USS RIXEY CAPH-35 and the S.S.
BRITISH COLUMBIA EXPRESS were the other members and
the destroyers YOUNG and STEVENS were the escorts. We and
the RIXEY were going to Leyte and the others were going to
Manila. Distinguished passengers aboard the BRITISH
COLUMBIA EXPRESS Ca Norwegian shipj were General
Douglas Mac Arthur's wife and family. That is why she rated
two destroyers for escorts.
Being in a convoy was new to us-let alone being convoy
commodore. The O. Dfs and the signalmen really had a work-

out. One O. D. earned the nickname "Timeball" because of his
great preference for using the timeball for executing orders. He
wore out two anchor balls on that trip alone. We had one en-
counter with a uprobablev enemy submarine in this leg of the
journey. The convoy executed an emergency turn to get out of
the way and the escorts dropped depth charges - waking every-
one up below decks. We didn,t stay around to see if it was really
a submarine or not.
We arrived at San Pedro Bay in the afternoon of 4 March
and anchored so far away from Tacloban, Leyte fwhere the Port
Directorls olhce was locatedj that it would have taken our boats

A Playground on the superstructure for the lqids from Santo Tomas
two days to make the round trip. It looked as though they
were trying to put us out so far that we couldn't get in to
bother them and then just let us rust there. The Captain pulled
a fast one though. He went to the nearby beach in a boat and
then hitch-hiked into Tacloban to build a fire under the people
in the Port Director's ollice so that We could get unloaded and
leave. He did get our anchorage changed the next day and the
day after that we disembarked the army passengers. Then we
steamed to the Guinan Roadstaed, Samar to disembark the Navy
passengers. With all the passengers ofl, we 'came back to San
Pedro Bay to unload cargo, embark passengers, and wait for
another convoy to form.
Our passengers for the return trip included about 1100 sol-
diers and marines and 800 civilian former internees in the Santo
Tomas Uapanesej internment camp in Manila. Among the
latter were about 200 women and children. The superstructure
deck was transformed into a playground for the children and the
sick bay into a nursery for the babies. The carpenterls mates
worked overtime to make swings, sand boxes and play tables. The
seamen had to make a network of lashing between the rails to keep
the little rascals from falling through. The ones who were small
enough to fall between the railings were no trouble at all. It was
the ones who were too old for the swings and sand boxes that
caused the trouble. OH limit signs meant nothing to them. They
went anywhere they pleased and did anything they dared - until
forcibly ejected by a sentry or crew member with no patience.

The adult male civilians were in the poorest physical condi-
tion. They had been worked the hardest and fed the least in the
internment camp. Three days at sea from Leyte one of them
died and was buried at sea with military honors fhaving served
with the Marine Corpsj. The ship's photographer got several
good pictures of the services but when he sent them to Washing-
ton to the public Relations Department someone got mixed up
and sent them out for publication with the following caption:
"GRAVE IN THE PACIFIC - A Marine guard salutes in final

were only there four hours-long enough to receive our orders
- and then we sailed for San Francisco unescorted. We were
soon diverted to Pearl Harbor where we picked up F .B.I., Immigra-
tion and Customs Officials who were to process the civilians en-
route to San Francisco in the morning of 8 April. That was the
morning that the radar men plotted the Faralon Islands on a
course of 1040 T. at a speed of 4 knots. All of the passengers and
cargo were off the ship by 2300. We made the newspapers for
the first time since commissioning in that this group of civilian
internees was the largest to arrive in San Francisco on one ship.
The next day the ADMIRAL CAPPS sailed for Seattle to go
into a shipyard for drydocking and availability. Twenty-one
days were allotted for the work, and it was all finished in that
time. Long leaves were granted to lucky ones in the crew-
especially lucky because this was the only time in the ship's his-
tory that she came into port knowing 'that she would be there

was put on the bottom so that she would not need dry-docking
so soon the next time.
As soon as the availability was finished, we moved to the
loading pier to prepare for the next trip. Cur passengers were to be
the 519th Bombardment Group, known in the Mediterranean area
as "Holzapple's Flying Circusf' after their famous commanding
oHicer, who developed the system for Hying his airplanes off
the ground seven Cmaybe sixj abreast in order to save fuel
and thus increase their bombing range. They had two Presi-
dential Citations to show for their work in Africa and Italy so
that there really must have been something to the stories they
told us. They were on their way to Okinawa now, to fly the
new A-26,8 and win the war in the Pacific.
They carried the baggage of important passengers, too.
It took four full days to load their IO53 tons of equipment and
our ship only carried part of it. The flyers and their supporting
units came aboard on the 6th and 7th of May and we sailed for
Pearl Harbor at noon on the 7th.
For the first two days out of Seattle we ran into the roughest
weather the ADMIRAL CAPPS had yet encountered. As com-
pared with later trips in the Atlantic, it wasn't especially bad, but
in that it was the first, it tested the ship out to see how sea-worthy
she was. She was plenty sea-worthy, but things weren't very well
secured. Garbage cans and crates of potatoes were rolling freely
back and forth across the mess deck, books and papers were thrown
out of desks and bookcases in the oflices and officers' rooms, but the
worst of all was the safe in the finance office which broke loose
from its moorings, slid across the deck and pinned a storekeeper

between it and the opposite bulkhead. An X-ray examination
revealed that he had a fractured sacrum and multiple fractures of
the pubic bones, with ruptured urethra membranes. It was neces-
sary to operate immediately and with the ship slowed down and
headed into the sea, two doctors performed a successful operation.
The patient was transferred to the Naval Hospital at Pearl Harbor.
We arrived at Pearl Harbor in the evening of I2 May and
departed 24 hours later with orders to proceed to Eniwetok, Mar-
shall Islands for further onward routing. We arrived at Eniwetok
in the morning of 20 May and upon entering the harbor were
ordered to go alongside the tanker S. S. MARICOSA for fueling.
The MARICOSA was quite a bit smaller than the ADMIRAL
CAPPS and with a strong wind blowing on the first attempt to tie
up, the tankeris anchor dragged and we had to cast off and try
again. On the second attempt the anchor dragged again but in
addition, some damage was inflicted on the tanker's boat davit,
liferafts, and running light so that it was decided not to make a
third try. In the afternoon the tanker, S. S. SPARROWS POINT
came alongside the ADMIRAL CAPPS. This time the damage

was inflicted on the ADMIRAL CAPPS' life rafts and accommo-

We lay at anchor in Eniwetok until Iune 5th. Iudging from
the news reports at that time, the battle for Okinawa was not going
as it had been planned-necessitating a delay in the arrival of units
such as the bombardment groups which were to operate from the
island rather than over it. It was also signihcant that the AD-
MIRAL CAPPS sailed on one and one-half hours' notice the day
following the first good news indicating the capture of the Naha
airdrome. In the meantime we were sweltering in the sun and

Troops enjoy the sun on Eniwetolq
enjoying a "liberty,' or two on Perry Island, a fleet recreation
CPD center. Perry Island was one of the Eniwetok group which
was given "the worksn by naval bombardment when we took that
atoll. As a result there were no trees left and nothing else to give
shade. The beach was very nice, though, and as long as one didn't
have to stay there too long, he could enjoy himself.
The ADMIRAL CAPPS had carried women passengers be-
fore but never women passengers like it had this time. There were
50 Army nurses and two Red Cross girls who were a never ending
source of pride and trouble. The Marines had to chase them off
the superstructure deck after taps at night, and later, when their
hours were extended to 2300 and the O. D. would sing out a soft,
melodious, "lt's twenty-three hundred", on the public address sys-
tem, the marines would still have to chase them below. They went
ashore to the Officers' club on Eniwetok Island, the senior officers,
club, that is, and got acquainted with officers from other ships.
Then the ofiicers from the other ships started coming around to
visit every night. Their boats would be tied up at the boat boom
three deep. One of the nurses even rated a salute from a division
of destroyer escorts when they pulled out. Six ships steamed by
with crews at division parades in dress whites. Each ship saluted
as it passed. Someone thought up a new name - U. S. O. AD-
MIRAL CAPPS.
From Eniwetok we went to Ulithi Atoll in the western Caro-
lines, arriving there on 8 Iune and expecting to join a convoy
almost immediately to go to Okinawa. But instead, we dropped

the hook and let it stay for 21 days. I should say that we let it stay
the second time we' dropped it. The hrst time we dropped it so
close in front of a fleet tanker that her anchor buoy was floating by
our gangway.
Ulithi, being slightly closer to the equator than Eniwetok, was
just as hot, but it had a better recreational island to provide relief
and relaxation. Mog-Mog was the name of this little piece of coral.
Even the troops were allowed to go ashore there. lt was once
thought wise to have them stay over night - and' bring their
laundry with them. Sleeping out on the island wasnlt any differ-
ent than sleeping out on deck except that the island would be
softer.
Ulithi was the setting for the CAPPS' "Hot Air Theater" and
its one day stand of two performances. Its success can be measured
by the remark of Corporal for was it Ist Sergeantj Harrington Cof
the garbage detailj when asked what he thought of the show - "It
should be thrown overboard with the rest of the garbage?
Ulithi was also the place where the nurses were invited on a
picnic by an officer with enough rank to get them to go along and
then Cafter they got ashorej were charged 35c each for the drinks.
During our stay at Ulithi there were five "Flash Red" alerts
but the Iaps never came in close enough for us to see them let alone

Finally, hfty-five days after leaving Seattle, the ADMIRAL
CAPPS joined a convoy on 28 Iune and sailed for Okinawa. This
was an 11.5 knot convoy and didn't arrive there until the afternoon
of 2 Iuly. The disembarking of troops and unloading of cargo
commenced immediately. QA brigadier general of the Army Med-
ical Corps came aboard to take the nurses ashore.j All of the
passengers were off early the next morning but the cargo took four
days, in which the crew worked day and night operating Winches.
Uurs was the largest auxiliary vessel to enter the Okinawa area up
to that time, and it was greatly desired to get us out before the
Kamikaze Corps spotted us. There had been suicide attacks in the
area just before we arrived and there were some just after we left,
but while we were there, only one enemy plane entered fbut did
not leavej the area. There were three "Flash Red" alerts in the six
days but no action resulted for the ADMIRAL CAPPS.
We loaded about 3000 Marines on the 7th of Iuly and sailed
in convoy on the
8th for Saipan. This
convoy made I5
knots and we ar-
rived there in the
morning of the
12th. It was in en-
tering Saipan har-
bor that the AD-
MIRAL CAPPS
had her closest ap-
proach to tragedy.
We stopped to pick
up the pilot in the
channel with the
wind blowing on
our starboard beam.
Un our port side
were anchored a
number of destroy-
ers and destroyer es-
Tfze skipper gives Mag-Mog ez brief tour
corts in a line parallel with the channel. While the pilot was
coming aboard, we began to drift down on a destroyer escort and
in order to avoid it we had to come ahead quickly with left rudder
while the DE veered her anchor chain. This maneuver brought
us directly between the destroyer escort we had just missed and the
destroyer next in the line - with quite a bit of headway on and
K. X . ,

headed directly for the destroyer's midsection. The destroyer
called all hands to 'cprepare to abandon ship." However, by
letting go both anchors and backing down full, we were able
to stop about twenty feet short of disaster. There may have been
another solution to this situation which would have caused less
grey hairs but since this one was successful, we will be satisfied
with it.
We tied up to a floating pier at Saipan, disembarked the
passengers, fwho took along with them everything they could
find of value which was not welded down,j and after partially
refueling, cast off again and sailed with no passengers at all,
for Panama and the Atlantic.
This new routing was not a surprise. It had been known
for quite some time that troops were being transported directly
from Europe to the Pacific areas. The ADMIRAL CAPPS
probably would have been in the Atlantic earlier if the third
trip hadn't stretched out so long a time.

Our hrs! loolq at the Panama Canal
The only interruption in our trip to Panama was a little
diversion on IQ Iuly to give medical aid to a member of the
armed guard crew of the S. S. JASPER CROPSEY. We received
our orders to rendezvous with her from the Commander,
Hawaiian Sea Frontier and then made radio contact with her
to learn the details about the sick man. It was decided to trans-
fer him to our ship using the IASPER CROPSEY'S boar Qnatu-
rally assuming that their's would be better than ours.j When
we met them they had trouble lowering their boat. Then they
had trouble lowering the sick man. Then they brought along
two other men for 'cout patient" treatment - one with a tooth-
ache and the other with "general pains." To top everything
off, when their boat came alongside, one of our seamen tossed
them a heaving line which hit one of their boat crew on the
head, cutting it open, thus creating another patient.
As soon as all of the patients were treated, they shoved
oH in their boat which promptly broke down. We then had
to lower one of our boats and tow them back to their ship.
The whole operation required three hours with both ships lying
dead in supposedly dangerous waters.
We arrived at the Canal Zone early in the morning of I2
Iuly and made the transit the same day. We arrived at Cristobal
late that evening and tied up to a pier. The next day we re-
mained at the pier to take on fuel and supplies. In the mean-
time the crew got their first real liberty in almost three months
-four whole hours for each section. The city of Colon wel-

The mes: deck looked like this on the night the laps surrendered
comed them with open arms and gladly accepted their money
in exchange for liquor, beer, alligator bags, silk stockings, wrist
watches, and all kinds of souvenirs. As we pulled out that
evening, sick bay was heavily laden with sleeping men, and
four of the crew were left behind because the shore patrol was
unable to find them before sailing time.
Our next port was Norfolk, Virginia where we tied up at
the Navy Shipyard on the 4th of August. What was intended
to be a ten day availability period lengthened into twenty-one
days, and what started out to be "voyage repairs" turned into
major alterations with the removal of the 1.1" AAimounts and
their replacement with 40mm dual mounts. ln the meantime
Iapan surrendered and the plans for our going back to the
Pacific changed. We now entered the ferry service between
Norfolk and European ports.
Our first trip in the Atlantic began on the first day of
September. We sailed for Marseille and had a smooth trip
eastward, averaging 20.3 knots, arriving on 9 September. There
we saw what had happened when the port changed from French
to German and back to French again. There were sunken ships
in every entrance Cexcept one which had been cleared outl,
and along all of the piers. The piers and waterfront facilities
were still mostly in ruins and a large section of the city just
off the waterfront was in ruins from the American bombing.
Liberty in Marseille was a new experience for everybody.
Probably the main attraction was sight-seeing, with the cathe-
dral Notre Dame de la Garde the most visited place. The

The Nazis left this ship hehind when they returned to Germany
French shops offered perfume, hand-made figurines, silk scarfs
and other souvenirs-all at their price, which was prohibitive
at the Navy rate of exchange for French money. Marseille has
a bad reputation even in France, and our opinion of it Wasn't
much higher than its reputation.
We sailed from Marseille on II September with 5,496
Army passengers bound back to Norfolk. This was an over-
load of 721 passengers so that they had to sleep in shifts on
the bunks during the day and on the decks in the passageways
at night. Fortunately We didn't have any rough vveather or
it would have been extremely uncomfortable for those without
assigned bunks. They were happy enough to get home to bear
this small discomfort for nine days.
We arrived in Norfolk on the 20th of September, stayed
five days to load stores and passengers, and then were off on
another trip, this time to Naples and Marseille with a load of
3780 Italian Service troops. This was a real confusion drill
which could well be called, "The Battle of the Public Address
System." The Italians furnished "interpreters" Qwho could hardly
speak Englishj to stand Watch on the bridge and make all
announcements for the passengers in Italian. By the time the
trip was over the crew had heard all the standard announce-
ments so many times that they could have made them them-
selves. "Attencione, Attencione, sei due, i sei tre a la Mensa'.'7
We arrived in Naples on 5 October, having averaged 18.7
knots. The loss of speed was due mostly to having to slow

down for two days of bad weather., We rolled so badly that
34 life rafts were lost from the sides of the ship and we had
to turn into the sea at mealtimes so that those who were eating
could keep their food on their trays long enough to eat it.
The Italians were so sick the Hrst day that their mess detail
didnlt show up to prepare their food, and all they got to eat
that day was bread and coffee. They were so hungry the next
day that mess detail showed up whether they were sick or not.
Sight-seeing was by far the main attraction at Naples. The
main trouble was that we didn't stay there long enough to
really see the best sights. Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius were seen
by everybody who had a chance but the Isle of Capri, Rome
and other highly interesting places had to be passed up. Naples
itself wasn't in very good condition after all the fighting which

The shipper tells General Black to mczlqe himself at home
went on there. The waterfront was the worst damaged, while
the city appeared more in need of repairs than in ruins. The
massive architecture of the buildings and the art work were
very impressive. The souvenir trade was in cameos and in trick-
opening jewelry boxes. Every street vendor said that his father
made his cameos, but all of the necklaces, bracelets, and brooches
had the same design and setting-indicating that some Italians
have very large families. Those who went to small shops away
from the "main drag", Via Roma, were occasionally able to
obtain some very good cameos at very reasonable prices.
The children of Naples were also an impressive sight. The
streets were crowded with them - in gangs and singly. All of
them wanted to sell or buy anything, and if they wanted some-
thing which wasn't for sale, they did their best to steal it. One
of them came to the ship selling the Mediterranean issue of
"Stars and Stripesl' for the exorbitant sum of two cigarettes.
He said that he bought the papers for a nickel each and would sell
the cigarettes for ten cents each, thus realizing a profit of 57.50
on a 32.50 investment. He did his figuring in American money
and he really had it figured out. He said that he sold his
cigarettes to German PW,s who got their money by selling on
the black market the loot whch they pilfered from American
trucks.
We left Naples on the 7th of October and arrived in Mar-
seille on the 8th. Liberty in Marseille this time was much like
the last except that the city had been cleaned up considerably
,and there were fewer Gl's crowding the streets. We embarked
SIQI passengers, fan overload of 4205, and sailed for Norfolk
on the Ioth of October, arriving there on the 19th.
After unloading at Newport News, the ADMIRAL CAPPS
moved to the Navy Yard for boiler cleaning, voyage repairs and
alterations. Permission was obtained to remove all of the life
rafts which were mounted on the sides of the hull, Qsince they
were the ones which were being lost in the rough seasj, and at
the same time permission was obtained to remove all of the
armament except two zomm AA machine guns.
All of the repairs and alterations were completed by 3
November, 1945, and on that date, the ADMIRAL CAPPS sailed
for Le Havre, France on her sixth voyage. Good weather was
encountered for the first three days and then the wind shifted
ahead and stayed there for the rest of the seven day trip, making

it rather uncomfortable with wind up to 45 knots. She en-
countered her first mine in the channel leading to Le Havre
harbor. It was a horned type mine which had broken loose
from its cable due to the rough water in the bay. It was sighted
- about 200 yards dead ahead -in time to turn the ship to star-
board and clear it by 25 yards on the port side. A
The turn-around in Le Havre was the quickest of all for
a full load of troops. 4329 passengers were embarked in less
than 24 hours and the ADMIRAL CAPPS was on her way back
to Norfolk on the afternoon of Ilth of November. Anyone who
thought the weather was rough on the eastward crossing remem-
bered it as a very pleasant trip when he finished the westward
crossing. This trip from Le Havre to Norfolk can be marked
down as the roughest of all for the ADMIRAL CAPPS. Every-
thing was well for the first day, but between 2000 of the 12th
and 1300 of the 13th the barometer dropped from 30.14" to
28.83" and the wind on the port beam rose from I5 knots to
58 knots. Then the wind hauled across the bow to starboard.
Those who know their weather can tell that we passed mighty
close to the center of what the weather central termed a vigor-
ous depression. As soon as the wind shifted ahead we had to
slow down in order to keep the ship in one piece, but the sea
calmed down enough to go back up to standard early in the
next morning. This didnlt last long however. Early in the
morning of the 16th the seas slowed us down again-this time
to a mere 9 knots -for several hours. We didnit get back up to
cruising speed again for a day and a half. The last two days
of the trip were bearable and the ADMIRAL CAPPS arrived

Weather like this slowed as down to 9 lqnozs
in Norfolk in the afternoon of I9 November. Her average speed
for the eastward crossing had been 20.2 knots and for the west-
ward crossing 16.6 knots.
After spending Thanksgiving day in port the ADMIRAL
CAPPS sailed in the afternoon of 23 November, bound for Mar-
seille. Rough seas were encountered on this trip, but they were
not sufficient to necessitate slowing down. The average speed
was 19.9 knots which brought her into Marseille in the morn-
ing of 2 December. The embarkation of 4604 passengers was
completed in the evening of 3 December and preparations were
made to get underway on the morning of the 4th. That was
where things stopped though. A high Wind which the French
have named miszral started blowing from the north and the
pilot said that We would Wait until it died down before we tried
getting out of the harbor. Such winds frequently blow for
several days, but fortunately for the ADMIRAL CAPPS this
one died down during the night and we sailed for Norfolk on
the morning of the 5th,
On this trip we thought We would fool the weather and
take a southern route home. lt would be several miles longer
but it was thought that the saving of time due to less rough
weather would make up for the difference. We don't know what
the weather would have been if we had taken the northern
route but it certainly couldn't have been much worse than on
the southern route. We slowed down so much that the average
speed was a mere 16.6 knots. There was also a little trouble

to the heads of some.
Two days out of Norfolk orders were received for our next
trip-a return to the Pacific. To the few west coast men left
aboard it was good news but to the east coasters, who were in
the majority, it was like being exiled to the salt mines of
Siberia. i
The ADMIRAL CAPPS arrived in Norfolk in the morning
of I5 December by making its way through a beautiful but
cold snow storm. It was a fitting start of the holiday for the
crew. A small percentage rated Christmas leave, and a slightly
larger percentage rated 48-hour liberties over Christmas. Those
who stayed aboard had Christmas trees, mail, dinner and everyw
thing but home and family.
The ADMIRAL CAPPS arrived in Panama in the after-
noon of 2 Ianuary. That was the night that all of the yeomen
were either on liberty or shore patrol and the Marine Corps had
to make up the plan of the day. It was much better to see
Colon at night than to see her only in the daytime as had
been the case when the ADMIRAL CAPPS was last there. The
next night all of the yeomen stayed aboard -at least there were
no crossed quills seen going down the gangway. In the Copa-
cabana, however, one of our yeomen mounted the stage and
entertained the crowd C752 from the ADMIRAL CAPPSQ for
an hour with his accordion music while a large party of HN'
Division cheered him wildly. What happened to our chief en-
gineer that night is still a matter for conjecture. At any rate

It was in the afternoon
of 4 Ianuary that we com-
pleted our transit through
the Canal and set our course
for Pearl Harbor. It was
nice to get into the calm
Pacific again after almost
Hve rough months in the
Atlantic. We were enjoying
the luxury of sailing with-
out passengers and all
hands took their share of
the sun.
We arrived in Pearl Har-
bor I4 Ianuary, having aver-
aged 19.7 knots for the trip.
This was the first time that
the crew of the ADMIRAL
CAPPS had had a chance
to get ashore in her three
trips to Hawaii. They took
advantage of it but they
didn't have enough time to
get a look at 'cbeautiful

liberty for each section and
then we were off again with
a load of about zoo Iapanese-
American troops who were
going to lapan as occupa-
tional troops. It was in the
morning of 16 Ianuary that
we set our course for Yoko-
hama. We arrived there on
24 Ianuary having averaged
IQ.I2 knots for the trip. The

ders from the port director
via one of the signal towers
to anchor in "Berth 131',
and await the boarding of-
ficers. The navigator got out
his charts and found 131 up
by Tokyo so we went mer-
rily on our way - away,

ships in the harbor, away
from sight of any naval in-
stallations, away from all
indications of civilization,

away from everything. We anchored and waited. Finally an
army motor launch was sighted headed toward us. They ap'
proached, looked us over, and went on. That was all for that
day. The next day we saw a couple of Iapanese fishing fleets
tacking back and forth across the bay nearby but nothing of
any boarding oflicers. Finally in the afternoon of the second
day there came a call on the -radio 'cWhere are you -why didnit
you anchor in berth 131?v We sent back a reply, "We are an-
chored in berth 131, where are you PM We received the answer,
"Coordinates of berth Baker-131 are -1-, ---. Proceed
there immediately." The Navigator got out his anchorage charts
and looked for the anchorage at the given coordinates but found
nothing there. lt was too late to move that afternoon anyway
so we waited till the next morning and moved in the fog, When
the Captain and Navigator got to the Port Director's oflice for
a conference, they found that our charts were more up to date

"time-and-a-half" for their work. When no one would sign their
papers for the extra pay they went on strike and refused to
show up for work. When they were called on the P. A. system
they refused to answer. When the Marines went to their com-
partment and called for them no one knew them, no one had
seen them, no one knew where they were, and no one expected
ever to see them again. Filtering the mess line caught a few
but more ingenious methods had to be devised to bring the
entire lot to justice, Qtwo days in the brig on bread and waterj.
After looking up the home town of one of the seamen, a Marine
went to their compartment and called out, HI-Iey, I hear there,s
a guy down here from Canton, Ohioln Immediately the culprit
jumped up to meet someone from his home town but instead
he met one of the "Sheriff,s,' deputies. Another seaman's nick-
name became known to the Marines so one of them went to
the compartment, stood behind a stanchion and yelled, "Hey,

ing of the day we arrived in San Francisco there were head-
lines, "TWELVE IAILED ON S. F. TRANSPORTQ, and a
glowing account of the whole affair. It even got nationwide
coverage through the press agencies.
The ADMIRAL CAPPS remained in San Francisco for 28
days during which time herwboilers were cleaned with wire brush
for the first time. They averaged almost 9,000 steaming hours
since the ship started operations while the Manual of Engineer-
ing Instructions say that they should be cleaned every 2,000 hours
at the very most. Most of the West Coasters were granted leave
enough to visit their homes-which they hadn't seen for at
least ten months. The East Coasters enjoyed their liberty in
San Francisco as much as could be expected-more so than
the 'West Coasters had enjoyed liberty in Norfolk.

The loading of 4738 passengers was completed just after
noon of 24 March and we were underway for San Francisco
in less than an hour. The indications were that this would be
our last trip so the Captain put the speed up as high as he
dared and set his eye on a record crossing. Whether or not a
record was set for the Okinawa-San Francisco run we don't
know, but we did set a record for the ADMIRAL CAPPS. 21.01

were slowed down by rough weather. The indications about

Francisco: orders were received to go from San Francisco to
New York for decommissioning as soon as ready for sea.
lt was in the morning of Wednesday, 3 April that we arrived
in San Francisco, and the Captain decided that we would be
ready for sea the following Tuesday. The Californians who
were able, rushed home to take one last look at their loved
ones while the New Yorkers walked around with grins from
ear to ear.
We sailed as scheduled in the morning of 9 April at an
agonizingly slow 16 knots, "in order to conserve fuelf' We ar-
rived in Balboa in the morning of I7 April and moored to a
pier there for two days to refuel, take on supplies, and have a
look at the Pacific side of Panama and the Canal Zone. lf you
were to ask us now, we would tell you that there is a dif-
ference between the north and the south sides of the country
but we d0n't know exactly what it is. The people are no dif-
ferent. They all have something to sell and every sailor is
their No. I prospect.
We were the first ship through the canal in the morning
of IQ April and made it through in record time. We entered
the first lock at 0700 and departed from the last lock at 1230.
If there weren't a speed limit in the canal, we could have done
better. We let off the pilot on the Atlantic side and then set
our course for New York. We arrived there in the morning
of 24 April and after unloading the Army and civilian pas-
sengers we set out on the task of decommissioning. .

That brings this history up to the present and it will have
to stop here in order to go to the printers. The date of de-
commissioning has been set as 8 May 1946, when the ADMIRAL
CAPPS will be transformed into an Army transport to be
operated by civilians.
Although We called her a "pig iron bucket of rust", "The
Mad Capps", or any of a dozen other names, we were all proud
of her and enjoyed being on her. The gripes were many but
the pleasures were more, and we all felt that life aboard her
was - everything considered - pretty good. The ADMIRAL
CAPPS has served the Navy and its Coast Guard crew well.
Although we are all anxious to get to our new tasks-some as
civilians and some as crews of Coast Guard ships or stations-
We find that leaving her feels like parting company with an old
friend. She will long be remembered by those who served and
sailed aboard her.
