L L L THE U. s. s. MQBILE, cl. - sa Authorized at a time when hostilities in Europe were arousing keen concern over our own naval shortcomings, the story of the MOBILE corresponds closely with the development of our naval strength in the Pacific. Only one other ship has borne the name: she was a small warship operating under the Union colors with Admiral Earragut's fleet during the Civil War. The keel of the new MOBILE was laid on April l4, l94l at the Newport News Ship- building and 'Drydock Company and on May l5 of the following year the hull of CL 63 slid down the ways. The sponsor was Mrs. Harry T. Hartwell, wife of the president of Mobile's city commission. On March 24, l943 the commission pennant was raised with ap- propriate ceremony and Captain C. lulian Wheeler took command. After a short period of training in the Chesa- Q peake Bay and a brief visit to Casco Bay, Maine, the MOBlLE turned to- ward the Pacific, leaving the Canal astern on the 20th of lune. With eleven Battle Star operations to her credit the story of the 'XMIGHTY MO is told by the record of her achievements, by the ac- complishments of the fleets in which she work- ed, and, in part, by the pictures which follow. gaphs not to be reproduced without permission.

Alert MOBILE gunners spotted a sec- ond periscope and opened tire. A torpedo tired at the MO from point lolank range tailed to complete its run and Captain Miller coached two DE's into position for an effective depth charge attack. The MOBILE is the only ship of her class Which shares credit for the destruc- tion of a lap submarine.

SMALL IUNK SINKS UNDER .TI-IE MQBILHS GUNS MARIAN AS In the late Winter, spring, and summer of l944 the MOBILE participated in actions scattered Widely across the Pacific. During this period the large areas of the Western Pacific were Wrested from lap control and the re- maining islands so immobilized and isolated as to make them Worthless. Carrier tactics and logistics were per- fected to the highest degree and the superiority of the American Navy established beyond doubt. All these actions had as their focal points the occupation of Guam, Tinian, Saipan, and Palau. The attainment of this aim made possible the liberation of the Philippines and the blows against the supply lines and homelands of Nippon, PACIFIC RAIDS TRUK, 16- I7 February, IQ44 MARIANAS, 21-22 February, IQ44 PALAU, YAP, ULITHI, WOLEAI: y 30 March-l April, l944 TRUK, SATAWAN, PONAPEJ 29 April-I May, l944 MARIANAS OPERATION SAIPAN, ll lune- IU August, IQ44 BATTLE OE THE PHILIPPINE SEA, I9 - 20 Iune, IQ44 GUAM, l2 Iuly- l5 August, l944 TINIAN, 20 Iuly- I0 August, IQ44 PALAU, YAP, ULITHI RAID, 25-27 Iuly, l944 BONINS, 3 -4 Iuly and 4 - 5 August and 31 August- 8 September WESTERN CAROLINES STRIKES SOUTHERN PALAUS, 6 September- l4 October, l944 l-- - ----A ---W --- --i -.-- .- V vw VY- ,A , Y YL, V Y L.9g:g:g3Lg:..,Q41:A-::,::g,a .p..,..14.-.-,.:A1M.,.XQ.,.w:11gN::,,.. -...Q:..... , ,. ..,,...A,,., -wi.--1-:mu-w w..
