ACKNOWLEDGMENTS- This book represents the cooperative efforts of many people — Division officers and yeomen who arranged for group pictures and identified them, Lt. (jg) Wallace, Ship ' s Historian, who pre- pared our narrative, the First Lieutenant who provided an excel- lent office for our work, Hal Sessions, Chaplain ' s assistant, who patiently typed and pasted captions to pictures. The contribution of ( PhoM Fruchey and his assistants who kept such a complete and splendid pictorial record of the CHANDELEUR ' S activity and then made that record available to us in prints, is at once obvious and tremendous. To these and many unmentioned we make acknowledgment of aiuable assistance without which this book, a keepsake against the years, could not have come into print.

CHANDELEL ' R was laid at 1615 on 29 March 1941 by the Western Pipe and Steel Co. of San Francisco, California. At 1343 on 19 November 1941 she slid down the ways, sponsored by Mrs. W. T. Thea, wife of Rear Admiral THEA, USCG. One year later to the day on 19 November 1942, after successful trial runs had been made the U. S. S. GHANDELEUR was officially accepted for the Navy Department by Captain A illiam SINTON, U. S. N. who, at the same time, took over as her first Commanding Of- ficer. For those who sailed aboard her it will be interesting to note that the CHANDELEUR was named for Chandeleur Sound which, with the islands of the same name is located off the coast of Louisiana, north of the Mississippi River delta. The Sound was discovered on 2 February 1699 — Candlemas Day, and so was named Chandeleur, French for Candlemas. EARLY DAYS OF THE AV-IO After her commissioning the CHANDE- LEUR started on a series of cargo runs which carried her twice to HAWAII and the NEW HEBRIDES ISLANDS. It was seven and one-half months after going into commission before the AV-10 did any seaplane tending. However, the fact that the CHANDELEUR was doing her part in the war effort is testified by a mailgram received from Com Air So Pac congratulating the ship on her co-operation and by a personal letter received by Captain SINTON from Admiral TOWERS, Com Air Pac. It may be of interest to note that on 14 Feb- ruary 1943, at Apia, British Samoa, many months before PBXI ' s were commonly in use by the Navy in the Pacific, the CHANDE- LEUR hoisted aboard a damaged PBM-3R for transportation back to the United States. FIRST SEAPLANE OPERATIONS On the Fourth of July, 1943 the U. S. S. CHANDELEUR took over the job for which she was built, tending seaplanes. On that date, at ESPIRITU S. NTO, N. H., VP-71 came aboard and began operations using this vessel as a base. This patrol squadron conducted searches, bombing inissions, and Dumbo oper- ations using fifteen PB ' ' s. .An interesting sidelight on the Solomons Campaign was an incident which took place on 12 January 1944 at G.WUTU H.ARBOR, FLORIDA ISLAND. A New Zealand PBY was taking off and, while making its run, hit an anti-submarine net and tore a large hole in its hull. Boats from the CH.A.NDELEUR were immediately dispatched. When the plane landed it was brought alongside and hoisted aboard. The ship got underway and by maneu- vering in very close to HALAVO BEACH, it was possible to beach the damaged PBY on the seaplane ramp by hoisting it into the water and towing it up on the beach. Thus ended this phase of the CH.ANDE- LEUR ' S seaplane tending career but bigger and more important things were in store for the AV-10. BACK TO THE STATES After the departure of our second PBY patrol squadron, VP-14, the CHANDE- LEUR ' S next job was to make a run up to Bougainville Island ' s CAPE TOROKINA with a load of Marine Airmen. VMF-218, Marine Air Group 11, First Marine Aircraft Wing and VxVISB-244, Marine Air Group 21, Second Marine Aircraft Wing w ' ere our pas- sengers on this trip. This was on the 25th of January, 1944, when BOUGAINVILLE was being bitterly contested. The AV-10 came to anchor at 0659 on 25 January and was under-- way again at 1749 on the same date. The C. O. of the Marines on BOUGAINVILLE pre- sented the ship with a certificate of merit for the effective expediting of this mission. MUNDA in the New Georgia group was the next stop on our cargo run and was fol- lowed by another series of trips between the NEW HEBRIDES and GUADALCANAL. Then came our long awaited orders home back to stateside via Pearl Harbor. The CHANDELEUR passed under the Golden Gate Bridge 21 March 1944 and tied up at the Carrier dock, N. A. S., Alameda to discharge passengers and cargo. March 24, 1944 found us in the yards of General Engineering and Drydock Company, Alameda, for thirty days availability for over- haul and repair. Six days of this time was spent in drydock. After completion of our period of availability in the yard, we made a cargo run between N. S. D., Oakland and Pearl Harbor and returned to Oakland for the final loading for our next assignment overseas. THE SAIPAN OPERATION On 18 May 1944, the U. S. S. CHANDE- LEUR got underway from N. S. D. Oakland for Pearl Harbor. From Hawaii our next stop was KWAJALEIN in the Marshall Islands, which we reached on 5 June 1944. After two weeks at KWAJALEIN, we departed for ENIWETOK. Arriving at ENIWETOK the CHANDELEUR took over the duty of tend- ing these patrol squadrons. Each squadron was made up of fifteen PBM-3D ' s. Then came our orders to get underway and on 23 June 1944 we left for SAIPAN, MARI- ANAS, which had been invaded by U. S. forces less than 10 days before. Arriving at SAIPAN on 26 June we immediately began tending our PBM ' s under the overall com- mand of Captain TAFT, G. O., U.S.S. POKO- MOKE. Captain TAFT was succeeded soon after our arrival at SAIPAN by Commodore Dixwell KETCHAM, U. S. N., Commander Fleet Air Wing One. Operating conditions at SAIPAN were not always of the best due to rough water, high winds, and enemy shore batteries. This vessel was anchored in GARAPAN BAY and on several occasions the ship ' s planes came under fire from enemy shore guns scattering shrapnel and doing some minor damage to the PBM ' s. At one time, there was a bad run of weather with 15 to 20 foot swells. Plane maintenance crews had to go over the side into their boats via cargo nets and the sea made working on the planes extremely hazardous. During the GHANDELEUR ' s stay on SAI- PAN we went to General Quarters many times but were never under actual attack, the raiders seemingly being intent on creating a nuisance and preventing the ship and squadron personnel from getting much-needed rest. During our stay on SAIPAN, the planes of VP-202 and VP-216 conducted long range searches and photographic missions. Planes of VH-1, a rescue and evacuation squadron, were also assigned to us for maintenance on 5 July giving the CHANDELEUR a total of 36 (thirty-six) PBM-3D ' s to keep flying. On 10 July 1944, well before the island was secured, the CHANDELEUR placed the first PB.M on the ramp of the Japanese seaplane base at SAIPAN for maintenance work. Some Chandeleur men received a commendatory mass from Gapt. Goodney for their work in preparing the ramp for operations. Putting this ramp to use greatly facilitated seaplane maintenance during this important operation. Early in September 1944 we were ordered to make preparations for a new operation. Our plane maintenance crews had thirty-six sea- planes to check before leaving and also eigh- teen engines to change but all w ork was ac- complished with time to spare. TENDING AT KOSSOL PASSAGE On 3 September 1944, Commodore Dixwell KETCHAM, U. S. N. came aboard the CHANDELEUR as Commander Fleet Air Wing One and Commander of Task Group 59.3. This flag remained aboard the AV-10 until 15 October. After completing all checks on the planes of VP-202, VP-216, and VH-1 the U. S. S. CHANDELEUR was ready to go and on 12 September, 1944 this vessel got underway as part of Task Group 59.3 consist- ing of the U. S. S. CHANDELEUR, U. S. S. POKOMOKE, U. S. S. MACKINAC, U. S. S. YAKUTAT, and U. S. S. ONSLOW. The task group proceeded to a position latitude 7 degrees 30 minutes north and longitude 138 degrees east to await further orders. Upon receiving the expected orders the task group set its course for KOSSOL PASSAGE, PALAU ISLANDS and arrived at 1130 on 16 September 1944. Hundreds of mines were being sunk on all sides, many even after we were anchored. The operation at KOSSOL PASSAGE proved to be one of our toughest jobs since the water was almost continuously rough. During one day, 7 November 1944, a wind of hurricane force hit this area with gusts up to 75 knots. Many of the seaplanes rode out this typhoon on the water but despite everything the planes were kept in commission and the patrols were met. Food had to be floated to the planes on a rubber life raft, towed by a boat, since the water was too rough for a boat to come alongside a plane. It was very import- ant that the patrols be made as our planes were flying coverage for the invasion of the PHILIPPINES. While at KOSSOL PASSAGE, VPB.202 was relieved by VPB-21, the last crew of VPB- 202 being relieved on 24 October. VH-1 was detached from our cognizance on 6 October and VPB-216 left for home on 21 November leaving the CHANDELEUR only VPB-21 to tend. The operation at KOSSOL PASSAGE was uneventful in respect to enemy action. A few nuisance raiders came over from nearby BABELTHUAP ISL.AND but there was only one instance of a bomb being dropped. On Thanksgiving Day, 30 November 1944 we got underway for dispersal due to an expected enemy air attack. The attack came off exactly on time but consisted of only one plane which dropped a bomb (causing no damage) and left the area. The only harm done was to everyone ' s disposition due to having a fine Thanksgiving dinner spoiled by General Quarters. ULITHI AND SAIPAN— A BREATHING SPELL Having completed her mission at KOSSOL PASSAGE, the U. S. S. CHANDELEUR got underway Christmas Day 1944 for ULITHI, CAROLINE ISLANDS, arriving the next day. We stayed at ULITHI for over a month carrying out routine maintenance on the fifteen PBM-3D ' s of VPB.21 and enjoying a breathing spell from the no-liberty port of KOSSOL PASSAGE. On 8 February 1945 we got underway for SAIPAN, MARIANAS, where we remained until 23 March. The routine here was much the same as at ULITHI. However, things be- gan getting busier during the end of our stay at SAIPAN and we knew that another opera- tion was shaping up. KERAMA RETTO AND THE OKINAWA CAMPAIGN On 23 March 1945, the U. S. S. CHANDE- LEUR embarked on what was to be the most important and difficult operation of her career. The task group consisted of three AV ' s (HAMLIN, ST. GEORGE, CHANDE- LEUR) and four AVP ' s (ONSLOW, BER- ING STRAIT, SHELIKOF, YAKUTAT) with Commander Fleet Air Wing One, Com- modore Dixwell KETCHAM, in the HAM- LIN as CTG and OTG. While still underway we learned that our destination was KERAMA RETTO, a small group of islands in the NAN- SEI SHOTO or RYUKYU chain, seventeen miles west of OKINAWA. Task Group 51.20 arrived at KERAMA RETTO 28 March 1945 only one day after the 77th Division, U. S. Army had landed and secured part of the group. Thus 28 March found us at KERAMA RETTO on D plus 1 Day for that group and D minus 3 Day for OKINAWA itself where the initial landing was made on 1 April 1945, Easter Sunday morning. Immediately prior to leaving SAIPAN, our squadron, VPB-21, completed a change-over from PBM-3D aircraft to the PBM.5 type. Throughout the OKINAWA campaign VPB- 21 used fifteen PBM-5 ' s on their bombing, search, and rescue missions. On 29 March 1945, before any planes had departed on flights, this vessel assumed control of seadrome operations and remained Sea- drome Control Tender until relieved by the U. S. S. KENNETH WHITING on 5 August just before our departure for SAIPAN. Dur- ing the period 29 March through 30 April 1945 the CHANDELEUR also had the duty of FLEET POST OFFICE ANNEX and ban- died air service for the press to COMVIAND- ERINCHIEF,PACIFICOCEANSAREA, Public Relations, Guam. At KERAMA RETTO the seaplane main- tenance problem was made more difficult be- cause of the number of planes returning from missions badly damaged from enemy ac- tion — frequently in a sinking condition. Then, too, much valuable working time was lost due to Red and Blue Alerts. In order to keep the planes flying, it became necessary to work even during Flash Blue, using dimmed lights at night. Only when General Quarters was sounded, did the maintenance crews leave their work. While on the subject of General Quarters and enemy attacks, it is interesting to note that the CHANDELEUR went to General Quarters 204 times between 28 March and 15 July, a period of a little over three and one-half months. During this time enemy aircraft were brought under fire by the ship ' s guns on eight occasions, hits being scored at least twice. One enemy single-engine aircraft was splashed at 0121 29 April 1945. This plane came through a gap between two nearby is- lands, headed directly toward the CHANDE- LEUR. It was tracked and taken under ac- curate fire from two 40 mm. and eight 20 mm. guns at close range, (before any other ship opened fire). The plane pulled up momentar- ily, then fell into a dive crashing into the water and exploding about 30 seconds later. The second time our guns scored hits was on the evening of 21 June 1945. At about 1838 two enemy planes, later identified as a FRANK and an OSCAR, approached our anchorage without warning and at low altitude. The FRANK immediately crashed into the U. S. S. CURTISS and the OSCAR circled to attack this vessel. Due to the alertness of the CHANDELEUR ' s fire control personnel the enemy plane changed its course and crashed about 10 yards short of the port side of the nearby KENNETH WHITING. Sev- eral hits were scored by our 20 mm. and 40 mm. gunners and the CHANDELEUR was cred- ited with an assist for her part in splashing the would-be KAMIKAZE. It was decided to move the seaplane base from KERAMA RETTO to OKINAWA proper and so on 15 July, after 109 busy days at KERAMA, the CHANDELEUR got un- derway for CHIMU WAN, OKINAWA in company with other units of Task Group 30.5. At our new location, this vessel continued tending planes for VPB- 21 with our same ad- ditional duties as Seadrome Control Tender. During the three weeks we were at CHIMU WAN, we went to General Quarters 16 times but did no firing at enemy targets. While at CHIMU WAN, the CHANDE- LEUR had to get underway twice and stand out to sea in execution of Typhoon Plan X. Due to approaching storms, we evacuated our planes and left CHIMU WAN once on 19 July and again on 1 August. The storms quickly subsided however and operations were resumed in short order with no damage being done to any of our seaplanes. On 5 August the CHANDELEUR was relieved of Seadrome Control and the next day got underway for SAIPAN, MARI- ANAS. During the 131 days this vessel operated in the OKINAWA area, every landing and take- off made by planes of Fleet Air Wing One was controlled by us and despite 220 (two hundred twenty) general quarters, enemy at- tacks, typhoons, and other hazards to seaplane operation, we helped keep our search planes flying. A few words about the accomplishments of our squadron during the OKINAWA opera- tion would not be a risk at this point. We have tended VPB-21 continuously since 18 October 1944, eleven months together at KOSSOL PASSAGE, ULITHI, SAIPAN, KERAMA RETTO, CHIMU WAN, and now the occu- pation of JAPAN at OMINATO. In citing the deeds of the squadron at OKI- NAWA only, we are not forgetting the other months of the day-to-day patrols but since the operation at OKINAWA was undoubtedly the largest and most important seaplane operation in history, the facts about this campaign seem the most logical to present. During the OKINAWA operation. Marin- ers of VPB-21 sank nine enemy vessels, prob- ably sank three others, and damaged twenty- nine more. In addition to this, many land tar- gets were destroyed or damaged. CHANDELEUR-based PBM ' s drew first blood at OKINAWA being in on the kill of a large Japanese submarine two days before the invasion of OKINAWA. Our search planes spotted the giant Japanese battleship YAMATO on the morning of 7 April 1945 and warned the carrier planes that later de- stroyed her. During the OKINAWA operation, planes of VPB-21 rescued twenty downed airmen, shot down at least one Nip plane, and flew over five hundred combat missions for a total of 7,000 (seven thousand) hours. Close co-operation between ship and squad- ron made such accomplishments possible and in helping VPB-21 pile up such an impressive record, the U. S. S. CHANDELEUR has defi- nitely fulfilled her primary functions; to act as a floating base for the maintenance of sea- planes and for the caring of their crews. OCCUPATION OF JAPAN After leaving OKINAWA, the U. S. S. CHANDELEUR stopped first at SAIPAN, arriving there 10 August. Orders to get under- way again came and on 12 August we departed for ENIWETOK, arriving at this Marshall Is- land atoll three days later. At ENIWETOK we passed from under the cognizance of CFAW-1 for the first time in over a year and during our stay here the CHANDELEUR was under the Commander of the Marshall and Gilberts Area. The biggest news stories of the war, the atomic bomb, Russia ' s entry into the conflict, and Japan ' s surrender oflFer found us under- way between OKINAWA and ENIWETOK and the rapid cessation of hostilities left us very uncertain as to our status. After seven days availability alongside the U. S. S. LAERTES (AR.20) to make critically needed repairs in the engine room, our status began to clear as cold weather gear came aboard and the CHANDELEUR was ordered to get underway again. The official V-J day, Sunday, 2 September 1945, found us underway en route to OMI- NATO, HONSHU, JAPAN. On 6 Septem- ber the CHANDELEUR joined the main force of the North Pacific Fleet about 200 miles off the Northern coast of the main Jap- anese island of HONSHU, and thus came under direct command of Com Nor Pac, Vice Admiral Frank Jack FLETCHER, U. S. N. Reaching OMINATO on 8 September with the other units of the North Pacific Fleet, the CHANDELEUR was one of the first large ships to enter the harbor and anchor. The next morning. Admiral FLETCHER re- ceived the formal surrender of Northern HONSHU and all of HOKKAIDO from the Japanese envoys on a nearby ship, U. S. S. PANAMINT. Our PBM ' s arrived 10 September and using us as their base flew routine searches, Dumbo missions, and mail and passenger trips to TOKYO. The OMINATO operation was the culmination of the CHANDELEUR ' s war activity. On 16 October after the arrival of our relief, the U. S. S. TANGIER, we at last weighed anchor. SAIP.AN, almost our home port, was our first stop, but in less than 24 hours we had provisioned, fueled and taken on pas- sengers. On the morning of 23 October the familiar landscape of SAIPAN faded from sight and the CHANDELEUR, her days of war over, headed home. SHIP ' S DIVISIONS ? tJ, t rr , : ■: .

Personnel of the Division stand gun watches and serve as boat crews and are constantly being called upon to serve on work- ing parties to carry out the normal ship ' s routine. All of the ship ' s stores except for aircraft spares and a few other mis- cellaneous items are stowed in holds located in the forward cargo spaces. It is the Division ' s responsibility to hoist these stores aboard and lower them into the hold for storage. This is by no means a small order. This area is also the stowage area for the majority of the ship ' s boats. Gas bowsers, used in re-fueling the planes; re-arming boats for the transfer of ordnance materials to and from the ship; motor launches, motor whale boats and personnel boats are under the care of the men of the First Division and whenever one of the boats is lowered into the water it is in 4.0 condition. The Division also furnishes personnel to assist in anchoring and getting the ship underway. Mooring to a ship, tying up to a dock or having another ship come alongside the GHANDELEUR means another evolution in which the First Division plays a major part. ai i u O X S - z o O o z z o I-: z -i ac a z 5 O 4 2 § § u — V z o X o u 5 o o o o z o o 5 UJ i 5 -i g UJ j ::; ; z o o  o z O 15 s 5 q: tt 3 O u; u 5 e „- O ij t i tC z o LU .J o z o z UJ X z S o u X o u S K U _; 5 ;; - 2 ■ c CO - UJ i! 5 1 u S IS o o O X = z .

Being a deck division, we were responsible for the maintenance of the CHANDY LOU from the beginning of the superstructure aft to the stern, and from the top of the smoke stack down to the keel. We had many and sundry duties in this area such as painting, chipping pamt, swabbmg decks, loading and unloading cargo and ammunition, furnish- mg men for boat crews, gun crews, lookouts, fire and rescue parties, working parties, and handling lines when mooring or docking. When the Honorable Nip got a little sassy, we manned the 5 inch 38 and both 3 mch guns aft, and other anti-aircraft guns such as forty and twenty millimeters, to greet Nippo with the thing he hated most, American Lead Poisoning. In conclusion, we would all like to say, Good Luck, and may this book brmg many fond memories to everyone of you. 5 a O z o Q z o s s = - .

An enormous amount of food must be stored aboard and thanks to the Supply Department, we have it. However, nearly 30 per cent of that food requires refrigeration and herein lies the duty of the A Division ' s refrig- erator gang. They must keep enough food chilled or frozen to ordinarily supply a whole city block of families with refrigerated food for a period of three months! And they must be on the job too, for spoilage would be dis- astrous. One item has its advan tages however — this gang also keeps the refrigeration units in order in the Gedunk Stand or soda fountain, and ice cream, you know, must be tested. The small boats ' engines must be continually kept in operation and this calls for repairs and overhaul jobs. Often with no spares on hand our boat repair crew must perforce resort to cannibalism of other engines, yet often the parts have to be manufactured by our machine shop gang, A Division. When a vital part for a PBM seaplane is needed by the Air Department and no spares are available the machine shop gang is called upon to manufacture those parts. z o o u Z Q o o z s z Uf X 5 S z O 3 X z « O 3 S 2 i o « z _ Js iC £ Z i  I 3 HI oc (J „- 6 S „■ Z x s - Ui Ui s I . - ffi j «■ s p o « Z w QC O UJ z 5 5 o - iS K X 5 = Z ca ' a - V S Z .. ix • !C - S CO Z O S 2 z !:! 4 -; ado: (J UJ u UJ = 2 QC -1 S «1 . 2 Q as w w r- CO -i S i I oi UJ g o?

It is composed of Radiomen, Radio Technicians, Signalmen, Yeomen, Printers, Mailmen, and Buglers. Continuously alert to receive messages addressed to our ship, it is on a 24 hour-a-day basis. Radio One, commonly known as the Radio Shack , is the nerve center for rapid communications. Here are located the receivers over which we keep in contact with the far flung units and commands of all the branches of the service, yes, even with enemy communications. All operations depend entirely upon accurate and rapid communications. Messages must be orig- inated, encrypted, transmitted, received, decrypted, and delivered by a smooth working chain from originator to action addee. Radio operators and coding board officers handle incoming and outgoing messages. Radio technicians keep the radio receivers and transmitters operating. Signalmen handle visual communications which are received or transmitted by flashing light, flag hoist, and semaphore. The buglers regulate our daily ship ' s routine from Reveille to Taps, sounding — boat calls, emerg- ency drill calls, mess calls, and that old favorite mail call. Our mailmen start our letters on their way and bring us those sweet missives from home. The yeomen in the C Division keep the records and ship ' s correspondence up to date in the Captain ' s and Executive Officer ' s offices. The Printers supply all departments of the ship with printed forms, programs, and different sizes and kinds of paper, depending upon the requirements. All these various duties require skilled men who have intelligence, common sense, dependability and high efficiency. E DIVISION— First Row, left to right-HAAS, E. L., CEM BAICIK, S.

Read on and maybe we can give you an answer to your questions. All of the men in the Gunnery Department are attached to the F Division. In reality this Division is made up of three separate smaller groups all working together under one department head and one division officer — Gunner ' s Mates, Fire Controlmen and Torpedomen. Now for a word about each gang. All repair and maintenance of the ship ' s guns and the upkeep of the ammunition magazines fall under the Gunner ' s Mates — all of which adds up to a big job. Obtaining ammunition of all types is part of the job of the Gunner ' s Mates and all loading and unloading is done under their super- vision. The Fire Controlmen are responsible for the maintenance of all fire control equipment aboard our ship such as directors, gun sights, rangefinders, and gun drives. Their responsibility is to keep our fire control gear in tip-top condition in order that the guns may fire accurately at all times. Those deadly looking tin fish on display down in the torpedo workshop are under the supervision of the Torpedomen who see to it that their sleek- looking charges are well cared for and ready to go at all times. Working in a modern, well-equipped shop, the Torpedomen carry out the upkeep of the torpedos from routine checks to major overhauls. In our shop it is possible to completely overhaul an aircraft torpedo including the gyro. The Gunnery Officer is responsible for the training of all gun crews on the ship and that this has been ably done in the past is testified to by the record of the CHANDELEUR under fire. A great deal of credit must be given to each and every individual on the ship who has manned a gun or fire control station as it was their coolness and efficiency in the face of enemy attack which enabled our ship to compile such a creditable record during the conflict just past. Such is the story of the Gunnery Department and its men — a hard- working bunch of American sailors, skilled in their rates and always ready to do their best in the face of any kind of circumstances.

Third Row-PATTERSON, PhM3c; CHANDLER, PhM2c; MAXSON, PhM2c; SOMERS, PhM3c. i H DIVISION H Division is comprised of two medical officers, one dental officer and twelve pharmacist ' s mates. During the period 19 November 1942 to 10 September 1945, 33,622 persons have reported to the various sick calls for treatment. Of this number 1,174 were admitted to the sick list. These figures indicate that the Medical Department has been kept busy with the usual ailments and complaints of the officers and crew. There are many days when it seems as though no one on the ship ever heard of sick call, and then almost without warning we get an outburst of colds, cat fever or the like. We are fortunate in having on board two Flight Surgeons. No other seaplane tender can boast of this and it puts the mighty G in the class of a first line carrier. In addition to tending the ship ' s crew, these doctors must be able to recognize complaints and symptoms of illness that are pe- culiar to aviation personnel. The Dental Department as a unit of H division has also done its part in cooperating to make the CHANDELEUR the ship of the seaplane tender group. Every man aboard has been examined and has been given the oppor- tunity to have dental ills treated and corrected. Total sittings since May 1943 amounted to 5,182 with a total of 2,941 fillings inserted and 469 teeth extracted. In addition to taking care of our own ship ' s company and squadron assigned, because of our facilities, we have aided many smaller vessels by making available our equipment and staff. We have at times been desig- nated casualty ship with duties similar to those of a hospital ship. On other occasions, four to be exact, we have transferred patients while under- way. Without deviating from our standard speed or course the crew of the CHANDY LOU has swung into action to receive patients in need of emergency medical attention from ships that came alongside.

A., Sic. rr N DIVISION The N Division or the Navigation Division is made up of a Navigator, Assistant Navigator and Quartermasters. Of all the professions aboard ship] It can be safely said that these men are following the oldest art known to sailing men. When man first ventured forth upon the seas it was imperative that among the crew there be a man with a knowledge of the stars who could guide the ship safely home to port. In the beginning only the stars were available to aid the sea-farer. Today the duties are the same but science has contributed many navigational aids. The Department ' s duty first, and most important, is navigating the ship to its destination by the safest and quickest route. In order to accomplish this the Navigators and Quartermasters now have modern instruments such as sextants, stadimeters, chronometers, watches, compasses, plotting instru- ments and navigation charts. When on watch the Quartermaster keeps the ship ' s log up to date, makes weather observations, insures that the Ensign and Union Jack are hoisted, makes hourly observations determining the ship ' s speed, course and position. Another watch is stood in steering engine room, in case of steering casualty. In port all charts and publications are corrected by the Quartermasters. Coming into and leaving port is the Navigation Department ' s busiest time, the Navigator busy plotting the course. Quartermasters taking bear- ings, steering, standing by in steering engine room, Union Jack, Ensign, anchor ball, fathometer, and engine order telegraph. When at sea any Quartermaster can always supply pertinent information concerning the position, course and speed of the ship. O DIVISION— firil Row, left to right-OGLESBY, P.

O DIVISION To centralize all of the operational functions of the CHANDELEUR an Operations Department was formed by Captain TRACY in February 1945. This department was formed primarily to handle all phases of air opera- tions in which the CHANDELEUR and her sister tenders were to play an important role in the reduction and final elimination of Japan ' s empire. The O Division was established at this time and all personnel of the Operations Department was assigned to the Division. Among the different rates which were fused to make up the O Division were Aerographers, Photographers, and Radarmen. The Operations Department handles all phases of air operations assigned to the CHANDELEUR and is responsible for the activities of the Combat Information Center. Among the many other tasks assigned Operations in the past were: the preparation of weather forecasts and terminal condi- tions covering all the different search sectors assigned our planes and the planes of sister tenders; taking and processing of photographs of search missions and the operation of the radar equipment. Acting as Seadrome Control during the first four months of the OKINAWA campaign was the largest and most responsible task under- taken in our many months in the Pacific. The reward — To All Hands — Well Done. ■ X 6 s « z o - 5 z o 3 s o u 01 UJ N X .. en £ J d z o 3 £ O u- £ • :- U 111 UJ .

The duties of the Division are many and varied, absorbed in most cases by three differ- ent sections. First we have the Carpenter Shop. The few men that work here must, of necessity, be experts because their jobs include everything from the re- pair and maintenance of the small boats ' hulls to the installation of wooden cabinets and shelves in the various offices throughout the ship. If an airplane spare assembly is found to be faulty and must be returned to the States for replacement, it is the Carpenter Shop that supplies the crate. If a navigator ' s table is needed in one of the planes, again it is the gang in the Carpenter Shop that turns out the needed article. The next section of R Division is the Shipfitter ' s Shop. If a metal worker, a plumber or a welder is needed a call goes out to the shipfitters. These are the men who see to it that the ship is supplied with fresh water from the time it leaves the evaporators until it leaves the tap ready to be used. They also have charge of the salt water fire and flushing system. To realize the scope of their duties all one has to do is look at the maze of water, steam and oil lines that are stretched from one end of the ship to the other. A third section, is the Sail Locker. Omar, the Tent Maker, may have had a more imposing place of business but we doubt if he was called upon to produce such a variety of articles; the awning that protects the movie operator from the tropical down-pours, boat puddings (bumpers to the lay- man), laundry bags and shower curtains. In short the Sail Locker is called upon any time there is a need for articles of canvas. One other aspect of the R Division that cannot be overlooked is the fact that, during General Quarters and in combat, the men of R Division man a station known as Damage Control and to them falls the task of con- trolling and repairing any damage inflicted. To their quick action and ability a ship owes its life.

Division numbering some ninety-odd men consists of four distinct groups ; namely, Storekeepers, Ships Service Men, Cooks and Bakers, and the Stewards ' Branch. Let ' s take a quick look at the job done by each of these. To the Storekeepers goes the credit for providing, storing, and issuing (You gotta have a chit!) all material aboard with the exception of ordnance and medical supplies. Everything from skivvies and chewing gum to manila line and shackles, and on to PBM engines and tail turrets, is procured, stocked and finally issued. Besides our General Service Storekeepers, we have a couple of war-born offspring— Aviation and Disbursing Storekeep- ers. These men are specialists who do just what their ratings indicate handle the aviation stores and pay accounts for the ship and squadrons. The second group are the Ship ' s-service Men. These are the fellows that help make life as pleasant as possible by furnishing free haircuts, free weekly laundry service, and tailoring, and the now famous gedunks. The boys have done a real job and our hats, both round and flat, are off to them. Here ' s our third bunch. The Galley Gang. When it comes to putting out the chow, the Mighty C is right in there with the best. Navy chow has long been the envy of the dog-faces and gyrenes, and our Sick Bay hasn ' t accepted a case of an under-nourished Ghandy-Lou sailor yet. Ou Bakers take a justifiable pride in their products — and whether it be bread, pie, cake or doughnuts— it ' s always 4.0. And do you remember those Thanks- giving and Christmas dinners? Hubba, hubba, hubba! Summing it all up, it will be a cold day in Kossol when our sailors don ' t sweat out the chow line. Now for the final group of boys. All of these are on the solid side; a bunch of groovy cats who come from Harlem, Birmingham, and Central Ave.; and can hardly wait until they get back— to show jodie what a real dusky sailor can do. These boys have cooked, baked, and served chow for the gold braid. They have taken care of the Cabin, Wardroom, Warrant, and Cigar Messes. And, too, they have kept the officers ' rooms neat, clean, and (almost) free of Cocky and his buddies. We are all proud to say, It ' s been nice having you for a shipmate, boy, and maybe the next time we meet you ' ll be wearing a real zoot-suit and knee-length chain! Well, that ' s about it. And anytime you want a horizontal stabilizer, late chow, a double gedunk, special money, or even some mellow boogie- woogie — look us up! We are always glad to serve. r 1 [ M 1 t m AIR DEPARTMENT— First Row, left to right-LONG, S W , AM3c, WRENN, H. W, AMMlc; SHARP, W. H., ARTlc; WILSON, J. B., AMU; THEOFILOS, C.

However, without the co- operation of the other Divisions on board the Air Department would not have been able to exert to the fullest the facilities and equipment on board. Cooperation and assistance is essential where aircraft maintenance is con- ducted solely on the water. Throughout 1943 and the early part of 1944 the activity of the CHAN- DELEUR as a seaplane tender was very sporadic. However, during this period, for brief intervals, the ship did support VP-14 and VP-71 in con- ducting bombing, search and Dumbo missions during the SOLOMON IS- LANDS CAMPAIGN. It may be interesting to note that at APIA, SAMOA, on 14 February 1943, long before PBM ' s were commonly in use by the Navy, in the Pacific Theater, the CHANDELEUR hoisted aboard a dam- aged PBM-3R. The ship sailed — on this present cruise — on 18 May 1944 with a PBM Aircraft Maintenance Unit of 200 men— most of whom were totally un- 1 ' AIR DEPARTMENT— f ' « Row, loft to right-OLSEN, V.

However, time proved that a fine group of person- able and technically well-founded men had been assembled. During the present cruise (18 months) aircraft maintenance was car- ried on in spite of many odds — not without a strain — but it was carried on. The most consistent hazard was foul weather when, at times, the men had to work with one hand and hang on to the plane with the other. Frequent General Quarters interrupted the maintenance work while the men took time out to duck. However, in spite of everything, schedules were met and our squadrons did more than their share in the sinking of enemy shipping and availability to meet their schedule. During our entire period of operation 2075 patrols were made and only one patrol was missed due to maintenance difficulties. To offset this laxity, on a number of occasions we assisted other squadrons who did not have the availability to meet their schedule. The officers of the Air Department have been proud to serve with such an outstanding group of men. Good luck to you all ! ! z o 3 U ■ z U X o -■ z 52 3 2 5 S - 5 I ° g; 5 ; I l . DC C ft) M.A.A. DIVISION The Master-at-Arms force is in reality the police force of the Navy. Hence the nickname, Sheriff to those who wear the badge and seem to be everywhere at once aboard ship. You may go for weeks without ever slipping and committing an infraction of the rules, but the minute you or anyone else becomes guilty of some act in regard to a ship rule or regulation, who should be Johnny-on-the-spot but the man with the badge. When he arrives things settle down in a hurry and the guilty parties are usually taken in tow. The duties of this Division are, as we inentioned above, to suppress disorders and enforce both Navy and ship regulations, and to assist the Officer of the Deck in execution of the ship ' s routine. The M. A. A. has the custody of all prisoners and the brig. The Master-at-Arms is the man Irving Berlin referred to as The other Pup, because he is the guy that wakes the bugler up. A little later in the morning he is the most hated man aboard ship, because at reveille he roams the berthing compartments and delights in rousing sailors from their dreams of home, forty-four points, or Betty Grable. The Master-at-Arms is in charge of the crew ' s messing compartment. It is his job to make sure that tables and benches are set up; that the men serving the chow are clean and ready to feed the ever-hungry salts, and that the silverware, trays and cups are thoroughly clean as they leave the scullery for use by the men. The job of the Sheriff is often a thankless one. It is a job that no man asks for because he knows that in the course of doing his duty he may very well have to step on the toes of friends and that is always unpleasant. Aboard the Mighty G we have been fortunate in that ninety-nine percent of the appointments to this duty have been men who have shown the ability to perform their job and at the same time retain the respect and admiration of all hands.

We also salute the men of the other squadrons who operated from this shipt but the written and pictorial record is too inadequate for inclusion. During the OKINAWA operation our Mariners sank nine enemy ves- sels, probably sank three others, and damaged twenty-nine. This in addi- tion to destroying or damaging numerous land targets such as trucks, docks, radar stations and weather stations. In addition, it was our planes that drew first blood in the OKINAWA operation by being in on the kill of a large Jap submarine on 29 March, two days prior to the invasion. Our search planes also spotted the Jap super-battleship YAMATO on the morning of 7 April and homed in the carrier planes that subsequently destroyed her. To summarize, our planes: (1) Rescued 20 downed airmen in four different open sea landings, and assisted submarines to make rescues on two other occasions. (2) Evacuated 7 downed Army airmen shot down over SHANGHAI. (3) Shot down one Tony, left another smoking, and damaged and pos- sibly downed a third. Two Mariners in this action against seven Tonys and Jacks successfully eluded them after a running fight. (4) Flew more than 500 combat missions for a total of over 7000 hours. Our squadron was under the command of Lieut. Comdr. Joseph E. DAUGHERTY of Philadelphia until 17 May when he was relieved by Lieut. Comdr. James D. WRIGHT of Alturas, Florida.
