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 —
