W H and PE IIE in the PI-IEIFIII 1 Spurrier was chilled. The Captain asked him: Spurrier, are you cold Pl' and Spurrier was so cold he couldnit even reply. So the Captain dispatched his orderly to get a foul weather jacket for the slender yeoman. It was hard to believe that anywhere in the United States could it be so severely cold in the summer. Inside the Golden Gate, under which the ship had just passed, the air was clear and balmy, the winds had been channeled up ,the green California valleys, sweeping up the warmth of the land. But suddenly, as if thirty degrees of latitude had been traversed in five minutes, the weather descended upon the officers and men of the Thomas Iefcrson and upon the pilot who was conducting her to the outer buoys of the channel. It was Iuly 18, 1945, and after three days in San Francisco, the ship was underway again. It was hard to take. Only three days in Frisco after so long! And worse, the war had still to be fought to completion, the Iap had to be dug out of every foxhole, perhaps even in his native village on Honshu, and the enemy was reported to have nine thousand planes in reserve for the suicide assault on the invasion. It would be a long time before the ship returned home, thoughts like these were in the mind of every man who sailed with the Thomas Icfferson that day. Did anyone notice, in the greyish mist, the for- midable shape of the heavy cruiser Indianapolis that Wednesday morning, cautiously bound for Saipan, and later for a grave in the Philippine Sea P If so, no one reported her to the Captain. There is no entry in the log. But now, when the talk takes a fanciful turn on the midnight watches, you'll find a man here or there who says he saw her, practically following in the T. l.'s wake, so the story goes. The frightful atomic bomb she carried 'to the waiting 20th Air Force on Saipan was well buried in her guts, however, and even if she had passed us close aboard, it would have seemed just another heavy cruiser on its way to fight the Iaps. So then, twenty-seven days before final catas- trophe hit the Iapanese, the USS Thomas leffcr- son sailed for the war zone. The route was devious. After leaving San Fran- cisco, 'the ship headed south Qfor which Spurrier was gratefulj and in a day's time, put in at San Diego for the loading of Marines. Then, the six- day voyage to Pearl Harbor. In the ship's news- paper, the morning following our departure from San Diego, appeared the news that the USS Thomas Iejerson was to become an APA-H, to be converted in the Navy Yard at Pearl to a new K A f , I f., , ,, fx 5 A Wwfawhy- ' .'- -V , I ,f an , ' --ww 'sf-sznff y 7' .

The APA-H was to have large bays for the sick and injured, and special facilities for medical treatment. This would involve internal structural changes on the main deck amidships, tearing out of bulkheads, enlarging of other med- ical centers, and the addition to shipis company of a large force of doctors and corpsmen. To most of the ofhcers and men, it also meant that the duty would become perhaps more hazardous than ever before. Lying off the hostile coast, day after day, waiting for casualties to be embarked, and once on board, away with them to a hospital ship, and back again for more punishment. But no one was particularly perturbed. Had not the T. I. taken the worst the Germans could throw, in the grimmest days of the war? Had not she gone through two sessions at Oki- nawa? Was she not a lucky ship? Spirits rose with the gradual approach of the emergency, a phenomenon reported often during the course of the war in every phase of every service. It was at Pearl Harbor, while the ship was tied up near the battleship N cw York, that the end of the war could be discerned approaching swiftly. It didn't come in a single day of collapse-one noticed only that people didn't laugh any more when somebody said it would be over in two weeks- mark my words! But the awful en- gulfing of the enemy, the beating down of the will to fight, the shattering of Iapan's remaining resources in the tremendous last days of the war was plain to everyone. At last, on the 14th of Au- gust, the end was ofiicially proclaimed. At Pearl Harbor, where the war had started, all hell broke loose. rKsN Vif.e-2 , Y Eff? fax lk, by 7 r rrfslflildl 44Q kr, ,,',L- H , .V -5 f WQ7' i XrxS y ll 1. ml 1 'll if l lr .9 -... , C lk -wp I V FOR VICTORY, SIR! THE UIIIIUP Tlll 4 The United States was quite used to winning battles by this timeg winning the war itself, how- ever, caught us with our trousers just slightly unhitched. You can,t get an army of occupation together and stage them over thousands of miles of ocean in a single week, or even a month. But, fortunately, the invasion of Iapan had been intri- cately planned, and gigantic naval forces assigned to it. It was not long before it was realized that the occupation would have to be the 'cinvasionf' On September 13, we arrived in the Marianas, Most hands had been in Saipan before, on the Okinawa campaign. So it was no novelty. We stayed several days, trying to get fueled. This was finally done, and we set off in a general north- westerly direction. Only 'then did we learn offi- cially that we were going to Sasebo, on the island of Kyushu, in Iapan. Most of the men had guessed that it would be somewhere in Iapan, and the grapevine had not been wrong in saying Sasebo. And the Thomas fc'17cr.von had been assigned a role. Late in the afternoon of August 24, the ship steamed out of the roadstead of Pearl Harbor bound for Maui Island, where a thousand Marines had been waiting for the invasion. It took very little time to embark them but their cargo caused more than one large headache on the T. I . The aspirin supply dwindled as the Boatswain and the First Lieutenant fig- ured how the gol-darned stuff was to be kept in order ftheir very wordsj. Nothing was labeled accurately, and all the junk the Marines had on the island of Maui came aboard, from tents to type- writers. After returning to Pearl Harbor to join up with Transdiv 39, which was part of the large convoy desig- nated Transron 22, we were informed that we would have a Transport Division of our own as far as Saipan, and that Captain Madden would be its Commander. Six ships behind us in col- umn, taking orders from us. COMTRANSDIV 22 WAS IN THE JEFFERSON 8 The men had got it from the chiefs, chiefs got it from the officers, and the officers got it from the steward's mates. But now it was official. The occupation was to be carried out as if it had been an inva- sion. In fact, the more pessi- mistic aboard fully expected a few shots to be Bred by fanatics, or even more large scale forays, which was not bad reasoning considering the nature of the late enemy. But, as the Thomas jefferson approached the entrance to the harbor of Sasebo in com- pany with the other ships in the convoy, protected by cruisers, destroyers, and minesweepers, the few lap- anese we saw were quite un- interested. The magnificent line of ships filed through the narrow channel entrance, past an old man, a peasant, fishing on a dock of rotting wooden boards. He didn't even turn around. This was the introduction to the foe. And this, we thought, would be all we would ever see of him, for liberty was not to be granted during this phase of the occupation. Sasebo we were there, with even the engineers, some climbing into the higher altitudes for the first time, eocking a grimy eye at the lap landscape. itself is a splendid harbor, but small in size. It is surrounded by mountains of a sort, resembling those in western Pennsylvania, and the crew could The city of Sasebo could not be seen, since it was behind a large mountain, near to which we were anchored. Curiosity was great, but not destined to be satisfied immediately. For we had heard that see plainly the Iapanese efforts at farming. These people showed a yen for the kind of land a plow- jockey of the Adirondacks would have given up long ago. Many of the farms were more in the vertical than the horizontal. The long-glass on the signal bridge got a workout the several days sion was to proceed next to Manila. wx K 5'hf'll , X X XX ' t.

THE PE III. Ill? THE IIHIE T 4 On the morning of September 25, the ship weighed anchor and proceeded in company out through the narrow entrance and headed south- ward. At 2200 on the 26th, Okinawa hove into view on our port bow. A great sentimental curi- osity seized the men. Here was where they had sweated out the original invasion and a follow-up. The furious destruction of so many U. S. ships was fresh in their minds as they gazed at the now victory-flushed, lighted and peaceful shoreline. Even the landing of Marines in Sasebo could not bring home so clearly the fact that the war was really over. Okinawa was left astern and 'two days later the coast of Luzon appeared ahead. Down past Lin- gayen, down past Bataan, and finally, as darkness fell, past Corregidor into Manila Bay. It was quite dark and raining that night, with visibility so bad you could hardly see the fo'csle. The Thomas jef- ferson anchored safely near the center of Manila Bay and the next morning moved into her as- signed anchorage. Manila was once called '4The Pearl of the Ori- entf, Her grandeur came from a peculiar mixture of the Spanish, American and native influences. The old ravaged forts were picturesque standing next to widely spaced, modern buildings, with neat parks and well ordered roads. Now it is im- possible sometimes to tell the old ruined forts from the newly ruined buildings. Ivy and weeds grow in the parks, the roads are muddy and badly drained. A luxuriant black market is in full swing, and prices are so high that a single meal costs around six dollars. But the people are happy. They actually are. Gangs of Filipinos labor on roads, but they are smiling and joking. Tradesmen have a smile for anyone, although they,ll gyp you out of your last peso. But Manila will still be a long time re- building. Only a few of the crew had liberty ashore. Com- ing back to the ship, they report, was a hard trip. It took an hour and a half in rough water, the ship being anchored so far out in the bay the coxswain could never make her out among the hundreds of large craft anchored there. He would steer for the middle of the bay on a compass course, then peer around through the gathering gloom until the fat stack of the T. I. caught his eye. It was always a wet and dragged-out group of officers and men who returned. We left Manila after fueling and steamed north- ward up the coast of Luzon and 'then down into Lingayen Gulf where we were scheduled to pick up Army troops for the second round of occupa- tion. Recreation parties were organized by the Chaplain. Finally, on October 9, we shoved off for Sasebo. -X . . ..-... . . . .

After unloading the Army troops the ship granted liberty to as many as the Port Director would allow, and every man on the ship had at least one chance to go ashore. When you approach the city of Sasebo from the waterfront you do not notice the effect of the American bombings. Instead you come to a rather shabby dock-like structure which has not been damaged, but needs repair badly. A large clock points eternally to ten minutes of ten. The hands are rusted. The dock leads through an archway into a building which must have been a customs house of some kind, but now is the station of Shore Patrols and Military Police. Through the archway and through the building walk hundreds of American sailors. Into the streets of Sasebo, on the island of Kyushu in the Empire of Iapan, walk the boys of this ship and other ships, who, several years ago, thought that a trip to the nearest large city was a great event. The street winds onward into 'the city. On sunny days, there is a Hne, gritty dust on the road. On wet days the dust turns into twenty times its volume of mud. in t at 1 ..,. , . gp p, . 5 -, ' V 'A ' E rms .. - - ,lf A 'Q-wavy' I -Af -' X Q .E a 'mf -aa. Y-ff ,f-21 f ,. ' us ew , ,,,,,.

THE LIBERTY LANDING AREA 35 i 4 Near the waterfront there are no Iapanese. But on the winding, slowly uphill climb into town they are to be met, women, old men, and many young children. The young men are absent, not having been demobilized. Amazingly, most of the people smile at the Americans. You wonder what sort of people they are. The women and old men smile humbly, like people who wish to be forgiven. The little boys salute you with a wide grin and remind you of the kid brother who brags on you and Wants you to go out to see him play baseball with his gang. The little girls titter and run when you speak to them. You are more than amazedg you are aston- JAPANESE PETTY OFFICIALS THE B-29's MISSED THESE OII. TANKS 26 ished. You realize the tremendous prestige Amer- ica must have in this proverty striken land. But you remember, by and by, that the fanatics who fought against you are still in the army. Perhaps old people and children are alike all over the world, and these are all you see. The women wear slacks as a rule, very loose and baggy in the seat. They prefer not to have their pictures taken, it is considered indecent in Iapan for a woman to appear in a snapshot. But they realize that when in a city the Romans have con- quered, one can not help doing somewhat as the Romans do. The modern young ladies will some- times pose, but the older ones usually decline. The children pose eagerly and keep trying to edge into pictures where they are not wanted. There are many ruins in Sasebo. It is impossible to tell whether they were homes or factories be- cause nothing but Hat rubble is left. But when you come upon a spot with hundreds of broken dishes, vases, and pots, lying in the debris you conclude a pottery shop must have stood there. Sasebo lies in a valley somewhat like the towns of West Vir- ginia, and the part that is lowest, near the winding v - s r'l'tfcsc y lyyy sq, s s ,, y .s,, up ai., I, . g 65 -f ' I , 24 . izff,,,45g , A STOREHOUSE AT THE NAVAL AIR STATION river, is blown to pieces, while the residential dis- trict of the sloping hillsides is left untouched. These houses seem crowded, poor and ill venti- lated. Every one that has any space around it has its garden, still growing here in October, with a number of strange-looking vegetables. There is not much to buy in Sasebo. One shop, set up in the second floor of a ruined building, is well patronized by Americans. Here you can buy tasteful art objects at little expense. xli- 3 .0 is ZEKE IS IN BAD SHAPE MlTSUBISHI'S NEW VOCATION , 'fem A li ,ie-'ij t 1, Hal ..

The bank was smashed flat, but the institution is not dead. It has set up in a moderately undamaged building across the street. The post office is still standing. Barber shops are plentiful, and do a rush- ing business. The women and little girls go there for haircuts as well as the men. There are few restaurants. U You walk back to the landing, slowly, .. because you still have twenty minutes to spend on Iapanese soil. Perhaps you no- tice for the first time the Iapanese Anna- polis, the naval college, whose two or three large buildings are still standing and have been taken over by the Marines for their headquarters. Iapanese guns and torpedoes are mounted in the courtyard for in- spection. They must have been there many years, for they are old and tired looking weapons. Back to the landing, through the faded customs house with the clock still reading ten minutes of UNDAMAGED CATHOLIC CHURCH ten, back in the boat with your souvenirs, and past the shattered Iap aircraft carrier with the star- board list. Finally, you are on the United States Ship Thomas lcjerson and not really in the Ori- ent any more. . , CLIPPERS ON THE SIDE, PLEASE A CORDIAL FAMILY GROUP I Y? I lk, f,-.

But on the charts of the Tlzrmzux leflcrsozz, the Navigator plotted a long sweeping curve, bulging upward toward the north. Tlzziv is actually the shortest distance, the Great Circle route, and on Sunday morning, October 28, the ship glided out of Saipan Harbor, through the well marked but narrow channel, through the torpedo nets, and began slowly to crawl along the Navigator's track. We had been in Saipan less than a day after hav- ing come down from Sasebo to pick up homeward bound Army troops, but no one was sorry to see the land fade away in the hotness of the morning. On easterly courses, there are early morning shadows on the fantail. The sun rises ahead of the F t X 5. :seam .ink ...... . ,M ship. Un this trip, after sweepers had been piped in the afternoon, some of the crew sat around and smoked, watching the sun set into the leisurely miles of blue water. The voyage home was uneventful, except for a severe storm which tossed the ship around north of Midway. It began to get cold, and the watch wore foul weather gear most of the time. The morning before dawn of November 11 was clear and cold. As cold as the morning four months before when the Captain had the orderly bring Spurrier a foul weather jacket, and as clear as a frosty night in March. The half moon hung in the sky surrounded by a dozen of the bright stars of the East, and underneath, glittering in the early morning chill, lying clearly before us like diamonds on a distant carpet . . . was San Francisco. l 35 THE ME K 1 A A ll. !Leff fo righflz LT.
