THE U.S.S. BADOENG STRAIT, fourteenth of the 105 Class escort carriers commissioned by the U. S. Navy, was built jointly by the Todd Pacific Ship Building Company, Tacoma, Washington, and the Commercial Iron Works of Portland, Oregon. The BADOENG STRAIT was launched 15 February 1945 and was placed in commission on 14 Nov- ember 1945. A The ship was named for the strait which, on the 19th and 20th of February 1942, was the scene of a heavy battle of several Dutch vessels and three United States destroyers against an overwhelming force of Japanese heavy cruisers and transports, which resulted in decisive losses to the enemy. The Badoeng Strait lies just east of Java between the southeastern end of the island of Bali and the western coast of the small island of Nusa Besar. The BADOENG STRAIT, a floating city in itself, is over 550 feet in length and is propelled by two cross-compound- type turbines which produce a maximum 16, 000 shaft horsepower. Since commissioning, the BADOENG STRAIT has op- erated extensively in Pacific waters. This is her second tour of duty in Korean waters. The U. S. S. BADOENG STRAIT is commanded by Captain ROY L. JOHNSON, U. S. Navy.
