'68 JUN '69 p 3' i 'USSHOFLQDD-5331 2, g A 3 7 USS HOEL QDD-5335 was built by Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding Company in San Francisco. The keel was laid in june 1942, launched in December 1942, and commissioned in july 1943 . The ship was named for William R. Hoel, a famous Civil War volunteer Lieutenant Com- mander. After shakedown training in October 1943, HOEL reported to Fifth Fleet in Pearl Harbor. ln her first year of duty she served as carrier guard, provided shore bombardment . and close-in gunfire support for ground troops, served as radar picket, and escorted convoys. Finally, in October 1944, HOEL joined Rear Admiral Thomas L. Sprague's Escort -Carrier Group 77 .4. At daybreak of October 25, 1944 Task Group 77.4. 1 had launched strikes for the enemy fleeing the Battle of Surigao Strait. While this took place, the. powerful japanese Center Force under Admiral Kurita steamed the coast of Samar towards the invasion beach of Leyte where they hoped to destroy American amphibiousforces and troops . Undetected by radar, the japenese suddenly emerged from the morning mist and were upon the Carrier F orce. The Japanese force consisted of a destroyer screen, six cruisers, four battleships, and a second squadron of destroyers . Immediately, 'HOEL led the other destroyers in laying down a heavy smoke screen to shield the carriers from the japanese guns . The battleship KONGO opened fire . l-IOEL set her course directly, for the KONGO . After a furious exchange of gunfire, HOEL received a hit on her bridge, destroying all voicefcommunication. l-IOEL retaliated with five torpedoes . KONGO turned sharply to port to avoid the fish . The japanese guns found their mark and shells knocked out three mounts and HOEL's port engine. By shifting steering control aft and moving her rudder by hand, I-IOEL maneuvered and attacked the leading japanese cruiser I-LAGURO . One of l-IOEL's torpedoes found its mark and a column of water shot skyward from the I-IACURO . Reduced to one engine and two guns, it was now time to escape. She zig-zagged firing continously. All the Japanese ships in range opened up. Over 40 hits of 5 inch, 8 inch, and even 16 inch shells punched her full of holes At 0830 an 8 inch shell blew up her remaining engine. The engineering spaces were almost completely flooded. At 0835 word was passed to prepare to abandon ship. HOEL listed to port and settled by the stern. At 0855 she rolled over on her side and sank stern first. I-IOEL lost some 268 men in the Battle of Samar. She was posthumously awarded the ' Presidential Unit Citation. , 2 ,T . A 7 Uss Hom. QDDG-135 2 A Q 5.7.1 x USS I-IOEL QDDC-131 is the second ship to be named after William R. I-loel. The new 1-IOEL was launched at Bay City, Michigan in August 1960 . She was commissioned at Boston, june 16, 1962. The Commanding Officer at commissioning was Commander A. W. Slifer, U. S . Navy. Following commissioning, 1-IOEL departed for her assignment with the Pacific Fleet, arriving at her first homeport, San Diego, California, on September 11, 1962. The first nine months ,of 1963 were' spent conducting trials of the ship, exercises with her TARTAR Guided Missiles, and training with her- crew, The new ship was a success from the start. For her excellence in missile firing, she was awarded the Missilery l'E at the end of 1963 by Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet. From October 1963 to April 1964, 1-IOEL was deployed in the Western Pacific with the Seventh Fleet. On March 2, 1964, CDR Slifer was relieved by CDR G. P. 'Pavis, U. FS . Navy. ln 1964 1-IOEL continued her winning ways . She' was awarded the Battle Efficiency' E for overall excellence in battle exercises by Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet. In March 1965 1-IOEL commenced her second cruise in the Western 'Pacific . She returned to San Diego in September 1965. I-IOEL was sent to San Francisco Naval Shipyard at I-Iunter's Point for extensive -changes in October 1965. On October 29, 1965, CDR Pavis was relieved by CDR T. E . Groves, U . S . Navy. When all the modifications were successfully completed, she returned to San Diego in February 1966 to commence refresher training. ln july 1966 I-IOEL departed for her third trip to the Western Pacific . After meeting all of her commitments in a variety of duties off the coast of Vietnam, she returned to the Eastern Pacific on February 3, 1967. ln August. 1967 1-IOEL received the Battle Efficiency E for overall excellence in battle exercises by Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet. Also awarded were the E for Missilery and Enginnering. On October 26, 1967, CDR T. E . Groves was relieved by CDR R . K. Fontaine, U. S . Navy. On December 28, 1967, HOEL departed for her fourth Western Pacific deployment. ' 3 llSS.HOELCDDG43J FLEET POST OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO.

Three days out of Pearl Harbor enroute to Yokosuka, japan, Hoel, T iconderoga, and Southerland encountered a severe storm coming out of the Sea of japan. Seas of 20 to 30 feet, Winds steady at 40 miles per hour with gusts to 50 and 60 mph, and rolls of 35 to 45 degrees were experienced.

A Sea Dragon is a patrol off the North Vietnam coastline carried out by Seventh 5 Fleet destroyers and cruisiers. The purpose of the operation is to interdict the flow of supplies south into the Republic of Vietnam. The targets are lines of communication in North Vietnam, from the DMZ to the area around Haiphong. Lines of communication include roads, bridges, ferry landings, and storage areas Within range of our guns . Other targets are trucks and Water- borne logistic craft QWBLCD- the junks and sampans which carry arms and material to the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army units in South Vietnam.
