DAUPHIN (ATTACK TRANSPORT No. 97) 23 SEPTEMBER 1944 TO 20 NOVEMBER 1945 Printed by MERCURY PRESS, San Francisco USS DAUPHIN, APA 97 Imighty God, our Heavenly Father, by whose word were gathered together the waters of the sea, Who fashioned man in Thine own image and gave into his care Thy worlds and creatures upon earth, as we, Thy children , unworthy of Thy patience and continuing love, turn to Thee at this hour in s earch of a blessing upon what we do. And we render unto Thee our humble thanks that this ship has been fashioned by the s ill and strength of hands fortified by love of freedom and justice in hearts groping towards worthiness to be called Thy children. God of earth and sea and s y, bless this our act and graciously guard this vessel here and now committed to the waters of Thy boundless deep. May it serve worthily in the grim but righteous tasl{ in which our nation is engaged. Guard and preserve, we pray, the precious lives of those who shall sail herein through the dangers of night and storm and battle; and be pleased to grant, we pray, that no harm may ever come nigh to hurt their souls. O Eternal God, mighty in power and of majesty incomprehensible, Who the heavens cannot contain, nor aught that Thou hast made, Who yet hast been gra- ciously pleased to promise Thy special presence to those who shall assemble in Thy Name; vouchsafe, O Lord, to be present with us who are gathered here to consecrate to the defense and support of our beloved nation the USS DAUPHIN. Bless the Commanding Officer, officers and men who shall guide and sail her. May we, with all others of this good land which Thou hast given us for a heritage, be a ways mindful of Thy favor and sustaining arm, and strive to do Thy will. Endow us with clear eyes, steady hands, and high hearts; and suffer not our trust in Thee to fail. To this petition we add our supplications for the President of the United States, for all here assembled, and for all Thy children everywhere, that they may always incline to Thy will and tval in Thy way. For these things we humbly pray, and for forgiveness and light and strength along the way. Support us, O Lord, all the day long of this troublous life, until the shad- ows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is over, and our wor is done. T hen of Thy great mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at last. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. Dedication Prayer at Commissioning By Chaplain Glen M. Warner, Lt. U.S.N.R.

WAVERLY, TENNESSEE A Message from the Captain May you remember that new bombs and counter-measures are not an adequate defense for America. Preparation and training of our Secret Weapon. the youth of America and his Will to Win, are necessary. It has been an assurance and I am grateful for the superb manner in which the officers and men of the DAUPHIN have carried on under the exacting environments of shipboard life in the Slave Trade. « , PRECOMMISSIONI NG TRAINING 1VEWPDRT, H.I. Approximately 70% of the crew received pre- commissioning training at the Naval Training Sta- tion, Newport, Rhode Island, on the shores of Narragansett Bay, a fine harbor since Viking days and the scene of much of America ' s earliest naval history. The Dauphin detail was formed in mid- summer of 1944 and organized into the various divisions required to man the ship. Some experienced men, and many who had never seen a ship, made up the ship ' s comple- ment. Classes in seamanship, navigation, gun- nery, engineering and other subjects were held daily from 0800 to 1700 in the classrooms and laboratories spread over the acres of Coaster ' s Harbor Island and Coddington Point. It was always necessary to march from one place to another on the station, and this was usually accomplished to the cadence of unrecognizable dirges, swing and tobacco auctioneering. In the weeks of proc- essing and precom training, one was expected to become at least a third class swimmer, and to be able to administer first aid to the injured. Days were given over to cargo handling on mock- ups, firing at Price ' s Neck, and hair-singeing ex- periences at the elaborate fire-fighting school on the island. Along with this regular training, a quantity of work was required of the ship ' s officers and yeo- men in preparing the Ship ' s Organization Book. This included the numerous bills organizing the entire personnel for battle, damage control, cargo handling, debarkation, collision, special sea de- tail, and so on, through scores of various evolu- tions. The Watch, Quarter, and Station Bills and Division Notebooks were likewise prepared by the Division Officers during this period. Although on land, all procedures were followed as if aboard ship. Watches were set, bedding aired, decks swabbed, quarters for muster and inspections held, and liberty granted according to sections. To complete the training schedule, the officers and crew were given a week ' s cruise on the U.S.S. Chilton (APA 38), which the Dauphin later re- lieved as a training ship, and still later sailed with in convoy in the Pacific. This time was employed in getting used to shipboard life, and in addition to standing regular watches in their various de- partments, the crew was given an unscheduled two days ' experience in riding out a hurricane. On return to land all hands were properly in- itiated as salts, and on September 22, with bags and hammocks lashed in proper fashion, shoved off for Baltimore and their new ship. BALTIMORE, MD. The Baltimore phase of the pre-commissioning period consisted of very little training — that is, in the usual sense of the word. At first personnel consisted of the Captain and his staff of yeomen, the Chief Engineer and his assistants, the First Lieutenant and his assistants, and the Supply Officer and staff. Later on, as commissioning date neared, the Gunnery Officer and the Senior Medi- cal Officer reported. Our working address in Bal- timore was three-sided, and the jeep (when it was finally procured) never ceased running between 37 Commerce Street where the Captain ' s Office was located, the Supply Office at Port Covington, and Sparrow ' s Point where a mass of rusty steel was gradually beginning to take on the appear- ance of a ship. The crew lived at the Coast Guard Barracks at Fort McHenry except for the family men who could live in the city of Baltimore. Instead of formal training, classrooms, and short cruises at sea, the Baltimore group learned mainly by experience and hard knocks. Principal of the tasks was assembling a mountain of stores at Port Covington ' s warehouses and attempting to main- tain records of what had been ordered, what had arrived, and what was yet to come. Our store- keepers and those of Port Covington worked long hours as they segregated and tagged and stacked and marked and culled out material which had been sent to the Dauphin (APA 97) by mistake instead of to the Duphin (AKA 87). The yeomen, too, had their long hours and weekends of work as they began assembling official publications and circular letters from every U. S. Fleet and every Navy Department Bureau. The tempo increased as September 23rd came nearer. The week just prior to commissioning brought the Builder ' s Trials of the ship and all hands went to sea for a day as the Bethlehem Ship- building Company assured itself that the ship would float, move forward and backward, and turn on a dime. During the week following com- missioning, which was the last in Baltimore, our time was consumed in transferring the mountain of supplies and foodstuffs from the warehouses to the ship ' s holds and getting the majority of the packing cases back on the dock. Finally we re- ceived the good wishes of the Port Covington staff, our co-workers during the pre-commissioning months, took a last ride to Commerce Street to insure that nothing had been left behind, and shoved off for Norfolk and the Navy Yard. — 6- FORT PIERCE TRAMMING BOAT GROUP Ft. Pierce, Florida, was the Amphibious Training Center of the Atlantic Fleet and it was here on 8 June 1944 that one hundred and twenty enlisted men and twelve officers began their training in amphibious warfare. From the start, rugged was a mild word. Classes in navigation, seamanship, gunnery, communications, recognition, engineer- ing, and ship to shore occupied the first three weeks of intensive primary training. Mosquitoes, sand flies and what have you dedicated their lives to making it miserable for all concerned. Inspection after inspection, occasion- ally followed by a forty-eight hour pass, eased the pain somewhat, while all hands digested the cities of Palm Beach and Miami. Practical work in the boats ensued for ten weeks. Boat handling slowly improved, competi- tion became keen, the group more coherent. High surf, long hours in the blazing sun, circling until that minute, all-night ship to shores with the beach party, put us wise to amphibious ways. Opera- tion with other boat groups, the Army, demolition teams, scouts and raiders. Group 161 said good-bye to the island off Flor- ida ' s coast, the sand flies, the jetty, the six mile buoy and Coon Island on 20 September 1944. With orders to report to the Dauphin, then lying in Baltimore harbor, the L division looked for- ward to a new phase of both personal and Navy life, a strange one and one which the remainder of this year book well pictures. BEACH PARTY The prime purpose of the Beach Party was to work jointly with Army or Marine Corps in Am- phibious operations, to land with the assault troops, evacuate the wounded, keep the incoming boats in their designated slots, handle ship to shore, visual and radio communications and to keep the beach clear so men and equipment could move without congestion. Preparation for such a diversified assortment of tasks required a lot of training and the men of the beach party got just that. For eight weeks they received intensified beach training under simulated battle conditions, then several months of tactical and strategical maneu- vers. This training included learning the basic fundamentals of demolition, becoming acquainted with underwater diving gear, and firing the differ- ent types of weapons. Instructions and practice with hand grenades, bazookas, and all types of guns from the 45 calibre pistol to the 3-inch all purpose gun made all hands familiar with their weapons of offense. Most of the fellows qualified as expert riflemen and helped establish a range firing record for the 30 calibre carbine at 100 and 200 yards, using all firing positions. The Beach Parly with this training and their simulated battle experiences under their belts, boarded the Dauphin ready to fulfill their assign- ment as an integral part of the ship ' s organization. LAUNCHING AT SPARROWS POINT FORT PIERCE. FLORIDA On the morning of June 10, 1944, the Dauphin stood ready for christening at the Bethlehem-Sparrows Point, Md., Shipyard. Miss Carolyn Conway, student nurse at the Staten Island Hospital and daughter of Captain Granville Conway, Deputy Administrator of the War Shipping Administration, had been chosen as sponsor, and after a brief and fitting ceremony our ship was launched with the traditional bottle of champagne. . . . The U.S.S. Dauphin slid down the ways, righted herself, and proudly joined the society of ships destined for the United States Navy. 1 H. E. TALMADGE, Lieut.. U.S.N.R.

By nightfall United States Eighth Army had landed 30,000 troops swelling occupation forces to beyond 35,000. On Tuesday troops crossing the Tama River just outside Tokyo spread their occupation zone of 720 square miles and took over four airfields as they awaited orders from General MacArthur warning them not to molest Japanese soldiers, saying they would be disarmed by their own police. Naval occupation forces also were instructed officially by their Third Fleet Officers. They were told to use a firm hand in dealing with the Japanese but to avoid need- less oppression. General Krueger ' s Sixth Army was scheduled to begin landings on the home island of Kyushu on September Third. At Baguio in the Philippines, on Monday, Lieutenant General Wainwright accepted the surrender of remaining 40,000 Jap troops in the Philippines from General Yamashita. •54- INTO YOKOHAMA I ... ■v ud r _itf _ I W i MfiM L, I S.

Transfers to other duties and for discharges totaled 241. The pay earned was more than $386,000, or well in excess of a third of a million dollars. In practice and actual firing we used up 760 rounds of 5 38 caliber, 10,569 rounds of 40MM and 69,677 rounds of 20MM. The boilers burned 2,250,000 gallons of fuel oil to turn over the screw forty million revolutions. Seven million gallons of fresh water were manufactured. The boats average total running hours were about 110 per engine, but VP-4 got up to 163, the gig took 235, and the LCM-2 went 267. This all required 32,500 gallons of Diesel oil and 312 spare parts. VP-13 and 24 never had a breakdown or required repairs. The ship ' s store managed to sell 269,000 candy bars and 162,000 packs of cigarettes. We used airmail stamps at the rate of 15,000 per month. Unfettered by ration points, 178 tons of fresh meat and 26 tons of butter were consumed, 157 tons of potatoes were fried, mashed, creamed or what have you. A lot of hens worked over- time to provide more than 26,000 dozen eggs. Between meals we ate 3,105 gallons of ice cream and drank 504 gallons of Coca-Cola. It will be interesting to the ship ' s yeomen to know that we have used almost two tons of mim- eograph paper.

Dauphin, APA 97, the Dauntless D ! Maybe I shouldn ' t brag like this but now I ' m of age, a year old and so I thought maybe you should hear my side of the story, I ' ve listened to yours long enough. I ' m at anchor, resting, so time for me to speak. KEEP QUIET! No, I ' m not sophisticated or anything like that but I got pride, a woman ' s pride. I like the sea, rougher the merrier and I like the slap of waves in my face and the wind singing a song in my hair. And the rains washing, cooling my hot decks. I like it when you feed oil down in my hungry insides, making me speed along. Of course sometimes I shudder and I ' m slow to respond but when I get going I give you the best I ' ve got. I like to, that ' s what I ' m for, and I do alright too, keep you right up there with the best of my relatives and friends. My sister, the Duchess, and I were born together at Baltimore, Maryland, twins you might call us. We started getting our form back in February, 1944. Ah, but that seems such a long time ago. In June of the same year I got my first real thrill out of living, that was when on the 15th of June I slid down the ways and got my first taste of salt water. I liked it. That was for me! I was impatient to move, to try my bow at the sea but no, the funny earth people kept working over my body, but I liked it ' cause I wanted to look nice; I wasn ' t just a common looking ship you know. But at last the great day came. You people who were to run me came aboard. It was a cold day in September, the 23rd to be exact. I was impatient to start but you kept talking, and shaking your fists at one another and stamping your feet all over my nice new decks. Well, finally we shoved off. Now I was at the height of my glory, I was at sea! You drove me at top speed, full right rudder and full left. Full speed astern. Inside, my heart ticked perfectly like a clock. You tried to find my faults. Ha, you couldn ' t find any could you? Also you fired my guns to see how mad I could be and how far and fast I could spit! Now I hoped I was ready, but oh dear, we were sent to Newport for a training ship. Golly, but that made me angry, and especially so when people would say I was there ' cause I wasn ' t good enough for sea. It all ended up OK though, or so I thought, because soon I went to Norfolk. But there I received the shock of my life. They put me in Dry- Dock and you people started doing the silliest thing. First you took all my paint off then you put some more on. My goodness, you never could make up your minds about my paint; off and on, off and on. You ' re still doing it, even way out here in the Pacific now. Sometimes you hurt too when you cut deep into my decks. Ha, I always get back at you, though. At night I like to have things so you ' ll bump your head and skin your legs! Oh, the language you use then; tch, tch, shouldn ' t talk like that in front of a lady, you know! Finally the great day did come at last. February 14th we left Norfolk for Panama and eventually hunting grounds in the Pacific. Well, all in all, we ' ve had fun together, been lots of places, saw lots of things; mainly, we were together at the termination of the war! True, you made me lose my anchor at Okinawa, but then we got a trip back to the states and I got a new, larger and nicer one than before. So that keeps things all right between us, see? Oh, Oh, they are hauling up my anchor now. Must be getting under way again so maybe I better knock this chatter off and get myself ready to go. Hey you! Make sure you wash down my anchor chain, gotta keep clean! P. C. ECKELS, RM3c — 70 — DIVISIONS October 29, 1945 From: Commander Amphibious Group FOURTEEN. To: The Chief of Naval Personnel.

DAUPHIN (APA 97) was commis- sioned 23 September 1944 at the Sparrows Point Yard of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in Balti- more, Maryland. The ship, a modified C-3 Hull of American Export Line design, was built for the U. S. Maritime Commission and was launched on 10 July 1944, being the second of five sister ships. She was converted during building. APA ' s (Auxiliary Assault Transports) are named for Counties and the DAUPHIN takes her name from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. At 1100 on Commissioning Day, Captain N. B. Ward, USN (Ret), Assistant Industrial Manager in Baltimore, representing the Commandant of the 5th Naval District, formally accepted the DAUPHIN from the Maritime Commission and placed her in commission as a U. S. Naval Vessel. After the Commissioning ceremonies Captain Ward turned the ship over to her first (and present) Command- ing Officer, Commander, now Captain, Bailey Con- nelly, USN. The Ship ' s Roster included the Officers and men comprising Ship ' s Company, Beach Platoon, and Boat Group; as set out in Annex A . All sections of our country were represented by the crew with the Northeastern section contributing the greater number. After the brief reception for guests of the Officers and men the DAUPHIN departed Sparrows Point, and sailed for Port Covington in Baltimore Harbor, where for the next several days stores, commis- sioning allowance, supplies and equipment were loaded. This being completed on 29 September 1944, the Ship departed Port Covington and sailed for NOB Norfolk, Virginia, docking at Pier 4 on 1 October 1944. There, additional supplies and ammunition were taken aboard. The DAUPHIN then fueled at Craney Island and reported on 4 Oc- tober 1944 to Commander Amphibious Training Command, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, for duty. Lt. Comdr. Trower, USN, was senior member of the inspec- tion party for Administrative Command Amphibi- ous Forces, U. S. Atlantic Fleet. The DAUPHIN was then ordered to her shake- down cruise in Chesapeake Bay and sailed from Norfolk 5 October 1944. Captain C. L. Waters, USN., of the Bureau of Ships, and Captain, then Commander, A. B. Leggett, Prospective Command- ing Officer, of the U.S.S. DUTCHESS (APA 98) (a sister ship), were aboard as observers along with Lieutenants C. R. Boderick, USNR., and J. H. Os- borne, USNR., who represented Administrative Command, Amphibious Forces, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, on the shakedown. Commander Sherman, USN., was the training command shakedown officer and the DAUPHIN ' s schedule was prepared by that command. Most of the training took place off Solomon Islands, Maryland, and included general drills, target practice, ship handling, lowering and hoist- ing boats, practice landing by day and night in boats, paravane streaming and recovering and actual loading and discharging of cargo. Much valuable experience was gained during the shake- down, which was marred only by a fatal accident to one of the Ship ' s Officers, Ensign John B. Adams, USNR., who was struck by a vang from the Jumbo Boom during cargo operations. A failure of a ring link in the vang caused it to give away. The full power trial run was made between Annapolis and Cape Charles City during our return to Norfolk. The DAUPHIN then had her first availability at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia, from 20 October 1944 to 28 October 1944, during which time various repairs and alterations were accom- plished and deficiencies disclosed by the shake- down corrected. An Ice Cream machine was then installed which proved to be a source of great pleasure during the hot days of the South Pacific yet to come. The DAUPHIN then reported to the Commander, Operational Training Command, Atlantic Fleet, and departed Norfolk for Newport, Rhode Island, where she served as a training ship for Pre- commissioning crews of APA ' s and AKA ' s, oper- ating as Task Unit 23.13.1. Commander Riddell, USNR., Lt. Comdr. B. C. Modin, USNR., Lt. Comdr. H. S. Cook, USNR., and Lt. Wallace, USNR., reported aboard for duty in connection with the intensive training program carried out. This tour of duty likewise proved invaluable to the DAUPHIN ' s crew. In Newport, the DAUPHIN ' s small boats, on Monday, would load the pre-commissioning crews, not only for our ship, but also for the U.S.S. VICKS- BURG and U.S.S. DULUTH, which were also train- ing ships. The DAUPHIN would then proceed to Long Island Sound for maneuvers. Anti-aircraft practice would be held south of Newport on Fri- days and Saturdays and the crews debarked upon the return to Newport. As a rule sea watches were stood in Newport Harbor due to the inability of anchors to hold. The week-end the DAUPHIN took the crew of the BON HOMME RICHARD (CV 31) to Brooklyn, New York, where she was commissioned, these light anchors — 104 — were exchanged for 13,000-pound anchors, which remedied our week-end dragging tours of New- port Harbor. High winds were often encountered during this training period. Sometimes as high as 800 men would be trained in one week. At least one night per week would be spent under way. CIC training was also given in the improvised CIC set-up in the Troop Officers Mess. About 0800, one Tuesday morning, while an- chored west of Cornfield Light Vessel in Long Island Sound, a boat was placed in the water so that boat handling instructions for the Pre-commis- sioning crews could be made more realistic. A dense fog set in and the tide quickly carried the boat out of sight. In the ensuing search for the boat much valuable training day and night on a twenty-four hour basis was obtained. Other boats with radios were lowered and made many wide ten-mile sweeps throughout the eastern part of the sound, yet contact was not made with the missing LCVP, which contained four men includ- ing Saris, George O, Cox., of 3115 E. 65 Street, Cleveland, Ohio. The weather was cold and foggy. The Third Naval District was advised of the missing boat and through them she was lo- cated at Cornfield Light Vessel. The DAUPHIN arrived at Cornfield Light Vessel at midnight. The LCVP had obtained an auto- mobile road map, diesel fuel and oil, and de- parted for Newport. She arrived at the Naval Training Station, Newport, after twenty-eight hours running, at noon the second day. After a hundred- fifty mile trip, a wiser, cold, and hungry boat crew were ushered out of the training station mess hall. They were out of uniform.

Various ship alterations, including the installation of the CIC along with dry docking were accom- plished during this period. New ammunition and stores were also loaded and on 9 February 1945 the DAUPHIN proceeded to Sewells Point to the Army Pier for loading cargo. After loading 1375 long tons of general stores she departed Norfolk 13 February 1945 and pro- ceeded to Pearl Harbor, via the Panama Canal, arriving there 5 March 1945, and discharged her cargo. The Officers listed in Annex B were detached prior to departing the U. S., and those set out in Annex C were the additions to our roster. On 29 March 1945, carrying 76 Officers, 1329 men and 607 long tons of cargo of the second Echelon of the Tenth Army, destined for Okinawa, the DAUPHIN departed Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, for Eniwetok, Marshall Islands. The DAU- PHIN formed a part of Convoy 355 under Captain J. B. Gay, USN. (Ret), as Convoy Commodore in the Dutch ship BLOEMFONTEIN. On 6 April the convoy arrived at Eniwetok, Marshall Islands. Fuel and provisions were taken on her and o n 1 1 April 1945 the ship proceeded in convoy to Ulithi, Caro- line Islands. The Convoy Commodore was Cap- tain R. E. Jasperson, USN., in the U.S.S. OKA- LOOSA (APA 219). The convoy arrived at Ulithi on 15 April 1945, and the DAUPHIN anchored in Berth 231. On 22 April 1945 the ship got under way and joined the Ulithi-Okinawa Convoy No. 2 with Captain Jasperson in the OKALOOSA as Convoy Commodore. After dark on 26 April 1945 the DAU- PHIN anchored in Berth H-138 off Hagushi Beach, Okinawa, in Nansei Shoto and immediately com- menced unloading of troops and cargo. The run to the beach for the boats was less than 3,000 yards. Due to congestion on the beach, each boat could not be unloaded until its turn came, causing serious delay. During this time the boats would secure to pilings near the beach. The DAUPHIN had seen no action prior to arrival at Okinawa. 105- There had been many contacts by the escorts dur- ing the trip from Pearl Harbor, yet no submarine had been sighted or sunk. One mine was exploded on 26 April 1945 by an escort vessel about 2,000 yards to port while south of Okinawa. Soon after anchoring and when the unloading of troops had started, the air-raids commenced. At Okinawa the ship reported to CTG 51.22 for duty. The night fighters could be seen taking off from the air field just inland from Hagushi Beach. These fighters could not keep out all the suicide planes, and when they broke through the ring — the Control Ship TETON (AGC 14) would order the setting of the various conditions. Cargo was worked except during Flash Red — Control Yellow. The Army Platoon for unloading remained in the holds. On 26 April the DAUPHIN was assigned the duty of protectin g the merchant vessel VIRGINIA CITY VICTORY, in Berth 22, against swimmers and suicide boats. Smoke protection was also provided. On 27 April an additional merchant vessel, the LOMA VICTORY in Berth 60, was as- signed to the DAUPHIN for smoke cover and protection against swimmers and suicide boats. LCVP ' s and necessary personnel with machine guns, small arms and smoke apparatus were used in this duty. All smoke floats and smoke pots were expended the first night, which presented a problem, but it was solved due to the large quantity of fog oil carried aboard. The DAUPHIN had three non- portable Besler Smoke Generators installed. Dur- ing a raid on the night of the 27th of April the port Besler fog generator, after spreading oil over the decks, life rafts, and equipment aft, caught fire. This fire defeated the purpose of smoke, yet no attack was made on the ship by the suicide planes although other ships then in the vicinity were hit. Portable extinguishers would not ex- tinguish the fire which had begun to heat the 40MM ammunition at the port gun. The fire was then promptly extinguished with foam. Two men — Evans, GMlc, USN., of Brookneal, Virginia, and Perry, SF2c, USNR., of Youngstown, Ohio — were slightly injured fighting this fire. Gun fire was opened at various times during the raids when the suicide planes could be seen. On 28 April the port fog generator was removed from the ship and installed on a foundation which had been welded to the stern of No. 2 LCM(3). This LCM then aided in furnishing smoke protection. During the night of 28 April a coordinated attack by the Japanese suicide planes, swimmers and boats was put into effect. During the night the No. 2 LCM(3) with the fog generator was stationed forward of the bow. Fire was opened at various times with 20MM and 40MM guns at single suicide planes when they could be seen. The boat lost the DAUPHIN but made smoke for a heavy fleet unit until the alert was called off. When the smoke that was made by No. 2 LCM(3) cleared, a cruiser which had been covered threatened to fire on No. 2 LCM(3) if it did not withdraw. This the No. 2 LCM(3) was happy to do as she had been operat- ing without relief during the entire night. When the DAUPHIN arrived at Hagushi, Oki- nawa, the fog oil situation at that locality was acute and mixing was ordered. She had a full tank of 3,500 gallons of fog oil which was imme- diately made available to the fleet there assem- bled. Water, provisions, diesel oil, fog oil, GSK, and small stores were issued to numerous ships and small craft during the period 27 to 30 April, inclusive. Prior to sailing, one fog generator was given to the U.S.S. TETON AGC 14. On 28 April small craft were assigned by Commander Amphibious Group 12 in the TETON AGC 14 to make smoke in the vicinity of Berth H-138 which had become popular, as two hospital ships and others, driven out of the Southern Anchorage by Japanese fire from shore, had anchored within three hundred yards of Berth H-138. The LCT ' s, LCI ' s and small craft would open fire at bursts and tracers from shore and other ships. In doing so they fired over the DAUPHIN. This helped their morale, but not ours. By the end of the second day the S.S. CANADA VICTORY of the Ulithi-to-Okinawa Convoy No. 2 had been lost to a suicide plane at Hagushi. Dur- ing the night of 28 April at Berth H-138 many rounds of 40MM and 20MM ammunition were fired at Japanese planes. On t he night of 29 April in Berth H-138 fire was opened on attacking Japanese planes, only two planes were brought down in the vicinity of the DAUPHIN, neither was claimed. Fire was not opened by the DAUPHIN unless the planes could be seen. The order to attend a convoy conference on the U.S.S. CHILTON (APA 38) with Commodore Thomas Baldwin Brittain, USN., on 29 April was received with considerable pleasure as the DAU- PHIN would be unloaded and could serve no fur- ther useful purpose at Hagushi Beach. A list of enlisted personnel serving on the DAUPHIN at Okinawa during April 1945 is set out in Annex D . Departure from Hagushi Beach, Okinawa, in convoy under the Command of Commodore Brit- tain was made on 30 April. Arrival at Saipan was made on 5 May. Four boats were left at Sai- pan. This left the wide No. 3 Hatch available for athletics and a 60-foot target range across the deck. Independent departure from Saipan was made on 7 May for San Francisco, routed south of Eniwetok and between Oahu and Molokai. Target practice was held with all guns at various times during the trip. Firing at a towed sleeve was done by ap- pointment east of Oahu. In San Francisco, all hands were given an op- portunity to get ashore. The ship was loaded with 106- cargo and replacement troops for Manila. Sev- eral transfers of personnel were made. During a fog on the night of 29 May 1945 the DAUPHIN departed from Pier 15, passed through the net gate and proceeded independently on the Great Circle course to Eniwetok. The ship fueled at Eniwetok and proceeded to Ulithi without incident. Anti-aircraft practice at a towed sleeve was held off Ulithi. The Convoy Commander from Eniwetok was Captain G. G. Herring Jr., USN., in the BROADWATER (APA 139). From Ulithi in convoy and with escorts the run was made to Manila via San Bernardino Strait. Navigation in Manila Bay was restricted by the numerous wrecks left by Admiral William F. Hal- sey ' s Third Fleet strikes, during the previous winter. Troops were unloaded during bad weather at the anchorage. They were not happy to leave — under the circumstances. Our landing boats were battered considerably during the operation. As the cargo consisted of 600 tons of cigarettes and matches, the Army were quick to order the ship berthed at Pier 9 for unloading. Only one truck load of cigarettes was lost in the maze of Army vehicles on Manila streets. There was no recrea- tion other than viewing the ruins of Manila. No drinks or food were purchased on shore, due to unsanitary conditions. After five days at Manila the ship departed in- dependently for Hollandia, New Guinea, on 27 June 1945. The ship was now attached tempo- rarily to the Seventh Fleet which had the job of Rolling up New Guinea. Appropriate ceremonies were held on 1 July 1945 when in Latitude Zero, and Poliwogs became Trusty Shellbacks. After loading troops and cargo at Hollandia, on 6 July 1945, the ship left in convoy for the Philip- pines. Captain Harold J. Wright, USN., in the U.S.S. OLMSTEAD (APA 188), was Convoy Com- modore. When eighty miles off Leyte Gulf, the DAUPHIN and the JAMES O ' HARA (APA 90) were detached and proceeded independently. Each made the best speed in an effort to cross the line of buoys before dark. Each reached the buoys across Leyte Gulf at 2000 and after picking up charts the ship proceeded to Dulag, Leyte, and anchored for the night. Arrival was made off White Beach, San Pedro Bay, near Tacloban, Leyte, on 10 July 1945, and the Ship ' s Company unloaded the cargo with- out benefit of the usual stevedores. The ship had not had an overhaul period assigned since leaving the Navy Yard on 8 February. The boilers had been opened and washed out while in San Fran- cisco. Word had now reached the Captain of important combat work ahead, after one more trip in the roll up schedule. On 24 July 1945 the ship left San Pedro Bay independently for Finschafen, New Guinea. Submarines had not previously been reported in this area. This was the day the UN- DERHILL (DE 692) was sunk east of Leyte. The ship proceeded to Finschafen, New Guinea, and thence to Hollandia, taking on troops and cargo at each port. The DAUPHIN and the U.S.S. CLEARFIELD (APA 142), Captain F. C. Stelter Jr., USN., Commanding, Convoy Commodore with U.S.S. CHAFFEE (DE 230) as escort, left Hollandia on 5 August 1945 and proceeded to the Philippines. The U.S.S. CLEAR- FIELD was met off Leyte by an escort, and the DAUPHIN and escort CHAFFEE proceeded to Ma- nila. Contacts were reported by the CHAFFEE at the entrance to San Bernardino Strait and after taking evasive action, passage was made with arrival at Manila on 10 August 1945. On 11 August 1945 the ship was moored star- board side to at Pier 9, and sounding showed that low tide would give insufficient depth, therefore cargo was unloaded on the docks and in our boats; 151 tons of fresh water was pumped overboard from the after peak tank and fuel was shifted forward. The next morning the ship returned to an outside anchorage. After considerable discussion with the Port Authorities, a deep water Pier for unloading the heavy cargo, units weighing up to 9 tons, was assigned. Our sounding showed thirty feet, so the ship was moored to the pier assigned, quickly unloaded and returned to an outside anchorage. Prospects for returning to the West Coast were good and spirits were high, due to the Japanese surrender proposals, yet, on the morning of 18 August the ship proceeded to Batangas in South- ern Luzon Island and reported to Commander Transport Squadron SIXTEEN, Commodore J. B. McGovern, USN., Commanding, and was assigned by him to Division FORTY-EIGHT of which Cap- tain C. L. Andrews Jr., USN., was Transport Divi- sion Commander. Here and at Canda the Twelfth Cavalry, Colonel James B. Corbett, USA., of Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, of the First Division of the EIGHTH Army was embarked for the Occupation of Japan. Pas- sage to Subic Bay, thence to Tokyo Bay, was made without incident. Vice Admiral T. S. Wilkinson, USN., in MOUNT OLYMPUS AGC 8, was SOPA. Rear Admiral J. L. Hall, USN., in the U.S.S. HANSFORD (APA 106), was O.T.C. Arrival off Yokohama was made during the morning of 2 September 1945 and in view of the uncertain conditions, the combat landing of troops was made from an outside anchorage. The cargo was unloaded at Pier 8, Yokohama waterfront. On the second trip to Japan the DAUPHIN loaded the Sunset (41st) Division USA., at Zamboanga, Mindanao, and proceeded to Hiro Wan near Kure and Hiroshima. Brigadier General H. Haney, USA., of Columbus, Ohio, was senior Army Officer in the DAUPHIN. On the third trip to Japan the 107 — DAUPHIN carried the THIRTEENTH General Hos- pital, including ninety-seven Nurses from Agoo, Luzon, Lingayen Gulf, to Sasebo. This unit from the Presbyterian Hospital, Chicago, was com- manded by Lieutenant Colonel Evan M. Barton, of Chicago, Illinois. This unit, a part of VAC (Fifth Amphibious Corps) was designed for Fukuoka on Kyushu, and as no quarters were available they remained on board about a week at Sasebo. All hands were able to get ashore at Sasebo and view the destruction of the city. The Navy Yard was in a state of disorder and we were ad- vised it had not been in active operation since January 1945, however the submarine caves and the reported fifty-seven miles of tunnels for shops and submarine construction were practically in- tact. This was the first liberty granted in Japan. The Island of Kyushu was found to be a ruined, broken country industrially. The DAUPHIN then reported to CTG 16.12 for Magic Carpet duty and departed Sasebo, Japan, 6 November 1945 with 116 Officers and 1772 men, all Marine and Naval personnel, for San Francisco. Approximately nine hours per day were required to feed these passengers and Ship ' s Company. In compliance with Third Fleet Orders, 168 low-point men were left at Sasebo from Ship ' s Company as replacements. The DAUPHIN arrived in San Fran- cisco 20 November 1945, and after passengers were debarked and high-point men released from Ship ' s Company, took advantage of the stay in port to accomplish several needed repairs in addi- tion to fueling and taking stores and supplies. The DAUPHIN was assigned to the Navy Block between Samar and 11th Naval District and de- parted San Francisco 7 December 1945 with a cargo of mail for Samar. With nearly two hun- dred men aboard, the majority of whom having never been to sea before, the outbound trip re- sembled a shakedown cruise. The DAUPHIN ar- rived Samar, P. I., 26 December and loaded fifty Army Officers, six Naval Officers, 1772 Army en- listed and 12 Navy enlisted men, and mail at Tacleban and departed for San Pedro, California, 30 December 1945. The DAUPHIN Magic Carpet capacity (25% ex- cess of normal) is 1757 men and 114 Officers, but as has been noted, a few extra can be carried. 108 — LIST OF OFFICERS ON BOARD U.S NAME t RANK ' Bailey Connelly Cdr Capt Gladstone G.
