PRE-SHIP TRAINING Long before the men of the Menifee reported for duty in Hstoria the first part of November, l944, they were in training for their work aboard at naval stations from Coronado, Calif., to Whidbey Is- land, Wash. The largest group of those making up ship's company formed at Barracks ll, HPD. Pre-Commis- sioning school, Seattle, on September 29. Men of this group had been gathering at the school since its formation in luly. Organizing the school, though just a part of the tremendous task the Navy had in putting to sea a fleet of f3lPH's, was an impressive job by itself. Well before the school's construction was complete, instruction in radio, signalling, damage control, navigation, engineering and deck watch standing, gas warfare, swimming, and other subjects had started. Some men had had specialized training for their work as attack transport sailors even before their arrival in Seattle. Thirty-seven hands of the deck force had spent two weeks in Hugust at the cargo handling school, Port Hueneme, Calif. The vital cargo handling part of an HPH's work was to depend on them and the men they taught. Six Badarmen had six weeks at Point Loma, Calif., another six trained at Bremerton for a week, and then the whole group went to Whidbey Island, Wash., for a week's work as a C.l.C. team. Qfter the crew was formed, attendance by divisions started in two weeks' courses given by the school. Deck force men and few others concluded their training ashore with a week at Pacific Beach Hnti-Hircraft school. Meanwhile, in southern California, the Boat Group and Beach Party members were in training for their shipboard tasks. Officers of the Boat Group reported for duty at the Hmphibious Training Base, Coronado, in mid- luly, but it was two more months before the bulk of the enlisted men arrived and the present Boat Group began training together as a 'P' unit. .Qll hands assigned the 'P' unit were drilled in boat handling-beaching, retracting and coming along- side-boat salvage, signalling, use of machine guns, and the rigors of physical training. While prospec- tive boat crews continued practicing boat handling, other groups learned salvage, maintenance and re- pair of boats and arms. One crew had a month's experience salvaging boats in Coronado's heavy surf. Motor Machinist Mates learned every detail of the Gray marine diesel engine, and men with Carpenter's Mate or Ship Fitter rates learned their work by repairing hulls of damaged assault boats. Machine guns and small arms were studied by the Boat Group's Gunner's Mates. The Menifee's Beach Party went into training at the Hmphibious Training Base, Oceanside, Plugust 3. Men at the base learned to run an LCVP, take soundings, rig buoys, salvage boats, and on the dry land side learned to hit a beach, dig a foxhole, shoot a ri-fle and throw a hand grenade. The Beach Party came aboard 5 November. Thus ready to assume their responsibilities aboard before they had seen their ship were many of the men who have since sailed the Menifee all over the Pacific. n 21
