APPENDIX 7 BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS OF COMMANDING OFFICERS Captain Michael KERNODLE, USN, was the SAN JACINTO'S Commanding Ofhcer throughout most of her com- bat career-14 October 1944 to 15 August 1945. A Naval Acad- emy graduate of the class of 1921, his experience in this war prior to coming to the SAN JACINTO was both varied and interesting. When the war started he was at sea off BERMUDA as Air Officer on the old WASP. He served aboard the WASP from that time until she was lost in the South Pacific in September, 91942 as a result of enemy action. Consequently he was aboard the WASP when she sortied into the MEDITERRANEAN to take planes and supplies to the relief of beleaguered MALTA and when she supported the invasion of GUADALCANAL. Following the sinking of the WASP, Captain FKERNODLE became the' first Commanding Officer of the Naval Air Station on GUADALCANAL. After completing a tour of duty there he went to Washington to serve under the Chief of Naval Operatidns in the planning of the very operations which he later carried out. D He assumed command of the U.S.S. SAN. JACINTO at sea off FORMOSA on 14 October 1944. . 'Ks Sli 3? Captain Harold M. MARTIN, USN, was the ship's first Com- manding Officer, putting it in Commission on 15 December 1943 and serving on board for the first part of her combat career-3 May 1944 to 14 October 1944. Captain MARTIN is a graduate of the Naval Academy, class of 1919. On 7 December 1941 when the Naval Air Station KANE- OHE, OAHU was attacked by the Japanese, Captain MAR- TIN was its Commanding Oflicer. In july 1942 he was assigned to MIDWAY ISLAND as Commandant, Naval Operating Base, and Commanding Officer, Naval Air Station. He returned to the States in August 1943 as Prospective Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. SAN JACINTO and re- mained aboard until 14 October 1944. At the present he is Commander of an Escort Carrier Division with the rank of 'Rear Admiral. -x-seas, ' Captain Hugh H. GOODWIN, USN, the ship's third Corn- manding Officer, came aboard on 22 july 1945 for a period of duty under instruction. He was named Prospective Command- ing Officer early in August and assumed Command on 24 August. ' Before coming to the SAN JACINTO, Captain 'GOODWIN had been on duty with the staff of Commander, Philippine Sea Frontier. Prior to that he was on the staff of Commander, Carrier Division Six. Earlier in the war he was advisor to the Argentine Navy and later put in commission and was the first Commanding Oiiicer of the Escort Carrier GAMBIER BAY. Following graduation from the Naval Academy in 1922, Cap- tain GOODWIN served in submarines and is qualified for sub- marine Command. In 1928 he took flight training at Pensacola and has been in naval aviation ever since that time. 1 Captain Michael Kernodle, USN Captain Harold M . Martin, USN Captain Hugh H. Goodwin, USN 52 ' -
