Rust must be chipped and the sides painted, the bilges must be cleaned, steam and oil pressures constantly regu- lated. Night and day watches must be stood in the gun mounts, at the depth charges, in the engineering spaces and the pilot house. Starting with the simple jobs any boot could handle men worked into the more complex assignments, earned rates and accepted responsibility. Some are Twenty Year Men , some survivors of sunken warships. Others came aboard wide-eyed youngsters and grew up before returning to the States. Always griping about the ship they will defend it against any other ship in the navy and honestly believe it to be the best damn can afloat. inn y , From left to right, seated: Ens.

It has been published by us and for us. Someday, many years from now, it will mean much to have this reminder of our cruise together. The Meade will shortly go out ofcom- mission. To everyone of us she was the best ship in the destroyer navy. We can rightly be proud that We served in her. I am very proud to have commanded her. Captain- Richard G. Colbert Most of you are leaving the Navy to re- turn to civilian life after a job well done. It is hoped that you will keep in touch with each other and maintain the strong friendships that have been built up while serving together in the war. Nothing has ever given me more pleasure than being with you these last years. Good luck and God bless all of you. Q ' Sincerely, Executive Officer Lt. Comdr. Robert S. Guy WAR DIARY U.S.S. MEADE The U.S.S. MEADE was commissioned on 22 June 1942, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. She then had a shakedown cruise to Guan- tanamo Bay until 22 August. On 23 August she got underway, proceeding for.Pacific waters. She reported for duty to the Com- mander in Chief, Pacific Fleet on 28 Aug- ust. On 18 September the U.S.S. MEADE joined Task Group 17 in the South Pacific Area. Here after various escort jobs, on November 15 immediately following the Second Battle of Savo she destroyed four beached transports on the North Coast of Guadalcanal On the same day survivors were picked up from the destroyers WALKE and PRESTON and BENHAM Of this period of the war Admiral King has calls the Battle of Guadalcanal there was a period laconically described as one in I ll said, Toward the end of what the Navy which the destroyer MEADE exercised complete control of the area all by her- self. Leaving the South Pacific Area on 18 March, the MEADE arrived in KULA BAY in the ALEUTIAN ISLANDS, April 15. While in these waters she participated in the bombardment and occupation of ATTU on 11 May and KISKA on 7 August. She was then given a navy yard overhaul at the Navy Yard, Puget Sound, during September. After a brief period at PEARL HARBOR, on the 16th of October she de- parted once again for the South Pacific. On 29 October, the MEADE arrived at WELL- INGTON, NEW ZEALAND, and reported for duty with the FIFTH AMPHIBIOUS FORCE. Operating with Task Force 53, the MEADE escorted the marines to the bloody landing on TARAWA where she partici- pated in the shore bombardment and the protection of TARAWA. A sub contact was made on 22 November. With the assist- ance of the U.S.S. FRAZIER the sub was brought to the surface with depth charges, shelled and sunk. One Jap prisoner was taken. The ship left TARAWA on the 26th of November and proceeded to PEARL HARBOR for a period of training opera- tions. The MEADE departed PEARL HARBOR on 22 January 1944, in company with Task Force 52 for the MARSHALL ISLANDS. On 30 January, she fired shore bombardment on TAROA ISLAND, MALOELAP ATOLL. On 31 January to 2 February she acted as fire support vessel for the KWAJALEIN OPERATION. On 8 March, the MEADE re- ported at MAJURO to Task Force 58 for duty. Task Force 58 conducted air strikes and shore bombardment against MILLE ISLAND on 18 March, YAP and PALAU on 31 March, North Coast of NEW GUINEA on 21 April, TRUK and PONAPE on 29 April. The MEADE was then detached from Task Force 58 and from 12 May until 10 July patrolled off the by-passed islands of WOTJE, MALOELAP, MILLE, and JALUIT. On 26 July she arrived at Mare Island Navy Yard 'for a long overhaul period. Departing from the Navy Yard on 15 Sep- tember, she proceeded to PEARL HARBOR to conduct training exercises until the first of December. In December, she departed PEARL HAR- BOR with the WISCONSIN to proceed to the forward area. For a month the MEADE performed escort duties between ENIWE- TOK, GUAM and ULITHI, after which she reported to the SEVENTH Fleet. From Janu- ary until March 1945, the MEADE operated in the LINGAYEN GULF area, Philippine Islands, performing duties in connection with local naval defense and fire support. From April until August she was attached to the SEVENTH AMPHIBIOUS FORCE, and on 15 May acted as fire support vessel for the MACAJALAR BAY Operation on MIN- DANAO. During the remainder of the period the ship was engaged in escorting in the Southern PHILIPPINES. On 15 Sep- tember the MEADE made a trip to TABLE ISLAND, FRENCH INDO-CHINA to locate and resupply a group of French Military Personnel known as the MAROC MIS- SION . On November 2 the Homeward Bound pennant was streamed and the MEADE left San Pedro Bay, P.

Throughout the United States and its possessions headlines such as these were presented to the pub- lic. DECKS RUN RED WITH PIRATE BLOOD, and DESTROYER ON RELIEF SWEEP TO CHINA. I-Iere is an account of the mission as we on the Meade witnessed 11. About the middle of September we weighed anchor and left Okinawa for Manila. Something was in the air for upon orders from Commander Philippine Sea Prontier the Captain, Communication OI- Iicer, Navigator, Supply and Medical Offi- cers attended an operations conference at the Manila base and returned with orders for an assignment that all on board will remember for its interest and good will. Now do you hear there, the voice of the Executive Officer sounded over the public address system, The Meade has been ordered to establish contact with an isolated Prench garrison located near Table Island close to the boundary oi China and Indo China. It is our task to bring them food and medical supplies, offer medical treatment, locate anchorage areas and air- strips, and set up communications for this The officers gathered around the captain to examine the charts X i We , ll-Q We trail a storm into Tonkin Gulf 3 -v,aM!':,fq, fi ,V . ,4,,,f'Agl,1i -, ,,.,g.,H,1 ,en ., .

This military group has been out of communi- cation with French authorities for almost a year. No supplies have been brought to them. Their situation is questionable. We were anxious to get started and im- patient of the delays incidental to secur- ing stores from the army, information on minefields, a skimmer to supplement the whaleboat and setting up a communica- tion plan. The Supply Officer, by some manner of miracle, had thirty tons of food -and clothing aboard by 0330 the morning of departure and all preparations were made for getting underway. -The 602 heavily laden with supplies Q and a skimmer weighed anchor and headed for Tonkin Gulf. Our progress was temporarily impeded by a minor typhoon and we altered -course to skirt the southern edge of the storm. On the morning of Sep- tember 21 we approached Table Island making smoke, blowing the whistle, and shooting star shells hoping to attract the attention of any Frenchmen in the area. Although a few natives could be seen sculling sampans from one island ,to an- other no one appeared curiousfabout our presence in the area. Failing to arouse any response in this manner the motor whaleboat was put in the water and the first landing party set out through Phaka Strait into the narrow I r Y 5 H Y I Q-x I rica- ui ub- -W-.rfr :' 'M' Af .' . 5 3' ,.-5, . - A A ln., 1- .df-nf-jf-Ny' -'Z uu+:.if:-sul .

At dusk the party returned having circumnavigated the island with- out seeing any indication of the French. A native who spoke a semi-intelligible French seemed to be saying that the peo- ple we sought had left Table Island a week before. Shortly after dawn the next morning the second landing party utilizing both the whaleboat and the skimmer set out to the south, along Ouanlan Island, and put into the cove behind it. Anchored near the en- trance were tive picturesque Chinese junks. At the far end could be seen the town of Vanhai. As the water was too shal- low for either of our boats to go into the town we went alongside one of the junks to ask for the use of a sampan. The people were friendly, deciphered our sign lan- guage, and willingly provided both a boat and a guide to take the Exec and an armed guard to Vanhai. - I s I J Their cannon were lashed to wooden mounts Those of us remaining were bowed aboard the junk by the head man and looked about us with great curiosity. When we discovered several small can- non carelessly concealed by straw mats we tried not to appear too curious. How- ever, the men on the unk could see where our thoughts were running and all smiles proceeded to uncover the nearest. It was muzzle loading, of cast iron, about 'four feet long with a three inch bore and was made in England. Francis Drake must have had a better version. Nearby were sections of bamboo about three inches in diameter and a foot long filled with rusty nuts, bolts and chain. One of the Chinese thought we wanted to see the gun demonstrated. With great energy he put in black powder and started tamping. Another ran to the kitchen fire and came back with a glowing punk. There was our whaleboat sitting right in front of the muzzle. Despite lan- guage difficulties we managed to dissuade the Chinese gunnery experts from touch- ing off their cannon. Thinking to become acquainted with the other inhabitants of the cove we left our enthusiastic friends and headed for one of the other j unks. Our reception was defi- nitely hostile. Two men got behind one of their cannon and kept pushing it around so that it was always trained on us. A third stoodiby with a lighted punk. Their can- non could probably fire only two hundred yards but at our range of fifty yards the injuries to the men and to the boat would have ben severe. We withdrew with dis- cretion. i I V i E L ff, They wanted to demonstrate this one Ii y af' .

Three weeks earlier they had had a big fight with pirates who had burned and pillaged the town. As it was late afternoon we left the cove and re- turned to the ship. . Early the next morning we started out again in the two boats. This time we were headed north for Port Wallut. The chan- nels were deeper and safer and the skim- mer was sent ahead at high speed. lt rounded the point into Port Wallut throw- ing a cloud of spray to either side-and there were the French scrambling into bat- tle stations on theirboats and swinging machine guns at us. Lensigne, our inter- preter, was in the bow of the boat shouting, Nous sommes Americains! Nous sommes Americains! and the French who had thought we were a Japanese suicide boat relaxed and proceeded to welcome us with great friendliness. - The port was a mass of twisted wreckage and the town was a collection of gutted dwellings, evidence of a recent attack by Chinese pirates. The townspeople were Annamese and the military group, known as the Maroc Mission, was a mixture of French and Annamese. Most were suffer- ing from malaria, dysentery, and skin dis- eases. They were poorly clothed and poorly fed. Their diet was mostly rice with fresh deer meat on occasion. ' N l 1 V E E 1 N Il Li.

He relatedthat three weeks earlier when the town of Vanhai was being raided by pirates a messenger had been sent to his group which was not very distant. The French put to sea in their pa- trol boat and overtook the pirates who were sailing off in one large junk and three small ones. A shot across the bow of the large junk resulted in the opening of,fire by the pirates. For twenty minutes the fir- ing continued at close range with the French using their one pounders and ma- chine guns against the pirate muzzle load- ing cannon, machine guns and rifles. The French then went alongside- the large junk, grappled and boarded her and fin- ished off the remaining pirates in hand-to- hand fighting. A total of sixty-two pirates were killed on the large junk. The smaller boats escaped. ' . As Port Wallut had suffered several re- cent raids Commandant Flechy had moved his two hundred men there. He stated that the junks we had encountered the day before behind Quanlan Island were undoubtedly pirates but he could not attack them unless they were caught redhanded because they fly the Chinese National flag and havecertificates of rec- ognition from local Chinese military offi- cials. Coolies take on the stores for the French Late that afternoon the French patrol boat and junk flying the flag of the Free French tied up alongside the ship. Despite the difference in language fraternization was the rule. As the stores were being passed to the French they were also being given cigarettes, candy, shaving needs, and picture magazines. They were our guests for dinner with an ice cream des- sert, a movie, and animated conversation afterwards with some one individual who could speak both languages the center of a large group. ln the morning we were underway once again to make our report to Commander Philippine Sea Frontier. Commandant Flechy left -the following note: The Lieutenant'Flechy and all his soldiers and sailors of the Maroc h C andin Officer and the crew of the Mission heartily thank t e omm g destroyer Meade who came to their help at a trying time and afforded d th 'r enerous gifts a great comfort and them by their presence an ei g a great joy. With profound gratitude and sincere friendship, Flechy. Two months later Smokey gave birth to five puppies F I I I I 1 1 . in .. 1 w A pi . I I r I V 1 I .ll 1 Lt. R. ARONER 1005 W.
