IST cl.Ass LEONARD F. MASON, uslvlc Leonard F. Mason was under fire from two enemy machine guns on July 22, 1944. Mason, an automatic rifleman with the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marines, was fighting on the Island of Guam during World War ll. PFC Mason charged out of the trench he was in and ran parallel to it, toward the rear of the enemy position. He was fired on and repeatedly wounded by enemy riflemen. Wounds in the arm and shoulder did nothing to deter him and 'Mason continued to charge forward without regard for his own life. He destroyed the enemy machine gun emplace- ment and killed five and wounded another. Mason then returned to his platoon to inform his supenors of the resuhs oflns achons. g The severely wounded young man was evacuated and later died. Private First Class Leonard F. Mason was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for action abovef and beyond the call of duty.

S. Navy's finest destroyers, but you have made it the best in the fleet. Your teamwork and response has left a brilliant record that will be extremely hard to surpass. In the past two years of employment with the U. S. Seventh Fleet USS Leonard F. Mason has been assigned every task required of a destroyer and per- formed second to none.

Like every evolution on the ship, the co-operation of every crew member is required. Hours before leaving port the Engineering Department insures that the lVlason's physical plant is operational. The Radiomen bring up circuits and get radio checks. The Electronics Technicians energize the radar and test its accuracy. Meanwhile supply personnel are making a final check to make sure that everything the ship might need is on board. The Navigator gets the Captain's final approval on the ship's track and the Quartermasters and Radarmen lay out their charts. l 4 s. -L1 J. Pvt. The ship is now ready. The Weapons De- partment brings in the mooring lines and we cast off. As the last line clears the pier we hear underway shift Colors Quartermas- ters and Radarmen make recommendations to the Officer of the Deck and Engineers open valves. Signalmen flash underway as scheduled The Mason is on her way to M S5 x -lx 1 wx. gig I 2 the cold rough ea of I pan .,Q1 :L .....,,,f X--' 1 1 I i 1 1 fi 1 1 11 Ae -' 11 r 1 11 1 1 N N 1 1 1 1 1 ui I 11 21 I1 4,-. 11 W 11 11' - 1 1:1 il' 1. is I 1, if ,ig T R 4 1 1 1 Ln H1 '1 2.

Their crews often stopped to take a shower, visit the ship's store, and swap sea stories with our men over chow. They always left with ice cream, fruit, and our mail. SAR The MASON rode shotgun for many CLG's and DLG's on Search And Rescue missions. While on SAR the MASON guarded all distress frequencies and was constantly prepared to locate and rescue any downed pilots in the area. i i i i 3 i i i Xi i 1 -i N - m ,- , ..- we nv 1 g Y ? s , i Xi I 5 2 , Xi ij f f ' ,L d , , - . in 1 , , ' ' .X , , :X ,X A X , X X ,X , , Xi ii IX i2 i HY ii ii it 1 i i S li X : 1 i il 1 X: i iii I Xi i 'X , XX, A ii' i 'xi i 15 i i I 11 it i fl 'Xi U 5' if 11 iii if fi C: is EX il rf, si Pl 1 y'X Ei i ti i P, Hi fi? ia: 'i 5 L!

READY During the time the carrier is launching and recovering planes men are ready to swing into action if the plane should go in the vvater. The Plane Guard Detail is well trained to rescue a pilot if the need should occur-and it has. HELO DETAIL One benefit of carrier ops was the helo that brought our mail, men, and an occasional visitor. Russian surveillance ships follow every move the fleet makes. They are expert at harass- ment and cross the carrier's bow during flight ops and interfere with unreps. After a few experiences with the MASON they developed an awesome respect for the ship and a hatred for our black smoke. Retreat was the byword when 852 approached. 32 During long periods at sea the MASON must have consumables such as fuel, and ammunition. These stocks are replenished underway- unrep. Unreps are an all hands evolution and everyone does his share.

The MASON also gave !f306,72O or S852 to the orphanage. Yoko was not the only port that men gave of their time and body.

There was only one person doing the layout in Tokyo because of the ship's schedule. The expert advise and counseling' of Daito, RD1 Lockhart, and Jim Rector, author of Reflection, helped make this book what it is. I thank you all for the experience I got and of course the seven weeks in Tokyo. This is the second volume covering our West Pac cruise and like Jim Rector, l too have tried to tell our story in pictures. The copy is my thought and since everyone remembers different things lha ve 'i tried to keep it at a minimum. Reflection covered the period from deployment to the six week yard period and Review covers the yards thru our return. if? M 1 'Fa V w .N J! V vi f N ' 'T , jllwa. Y lr!
