5I At two different ports during the cruise, the Catamount crew became blood donors — on 5 November in Saigon, South Vietnam and on 14 December in Kobe, Japan. The following is an article appearing in the Kobe Morning Issue: Kobe, Dec. 14 — This morning 42 crew men of the USS CATAMOUNT, a 9,000-ton dock landing ship of the US 7th Fleet, under the command of CDR. H. F. Slawson, now moored alongside Pier 6, visited the Blood Plasma Corporation of Japan, Kobe Branch to donate their blood. Learning of the shortage of blood in stock at the Blood Bank in Kobe and having been in Kobe as Executive Officer of the USS WASHBURN, the very first US Navy ship to participate in blood donation in Kobe, CDR. Slawson encouraged his men to offer to donate their blood during their visit to Kobe. In response to the proposal of the Commanding Officer, LCDR. J. A. Simmons and 41 others arrived at the Blood Bank to make a wonderful Christmas present out of blood donations. About 4:00 p.m. this afternoon, the Blood Bank received a telephone call from the Yodogawa Christian Hospital, Higashiyodogava-ku, Osaka, asking for 600-cc of Rh-negative type to save the life of a newly born baby who was badly in need of blood exchange because of its blood type. The Blood Bank got in touch with the Prefectural Police Board for the 600-cc blood, part of the blood donated by American sailors this morning, to be taken to the Hospital in a police car, sincerely hoping it would be a really nice Christmas present for this poor baby. The parents of this lucky baby had looked for Rh-negative blood all over Osaka and even Tokyo but in vain. The Rh-negative type blood donated by American sailors was transferred into the vein of the baby at 5:00 p.m. and it is hoped by all at the hospital and its parents as well that the baby will escape the critical condition. 25
