A ship is not a mere framework of steel, machinery and instruments, it is a living thing which contains the joys and sorrows, strength and weaknesses, of the men who man her. It reflects the spirit of these men, and as their creation, takes its place in the traditions of our Navy and in the history of our country. How well that creation was effected and the high place that was attained, it is attempted to portray in this hook. To those of you who have returned to civilian life and to those of you who remain in the Navy, it is hoped that this will stand as evidence of a never-to-be-forgotten phase of your Naval career and a proud memento of your part in the final victory.

SAUFLEY 10114655 The USS SAUFLEY, built by the Federal Ship- building Company, Kearny, New Jersey, was commis- sioned in the United States Navy on 29 August 1942 . ni by Bear Admiral E. J. Marquart in a ceremony co ducted atthe Brooklyn Navy Yard. Lieutenant Com- mander Bert F. Brown, U. S. Navy, assumed command. After commissioning, the SAUFLEY spent the th of Se tember fitting out at the Brooklyn Navy mon p g Yard and the month of October on shake down training ' l ' f several out of Casco Bay, Maine. Upon comp et1on o ' N f lk East-coast m1lk runs, she got underway from or o , Virginia, on 9 November 1942, for the South Pacific. Arriving at Noumea, New Caledonia on 2 Decem- b r 1942 the SAUFLEY reported to Commander South C v Pacific Area for duty. Six days later, this ship arrived off Lunga Point, Guadalcanal, with troop transports. Y t d During the rest of the month, the SAUFLE opera e with a Cruiser Task Group, and as screening ship for another transport unit to Lunga. Gn 2 and 3 January, h SAUF1 EY bombarded enemy positions near Kokum- f 6. J , . y , bona, Guadalcanal, and then continued screening trans- po-rts for another week. After completion of Gunnery Exercises from 18 January to 11 February off New Caledonia, the SAU- F b and FLEY went to Guadalcanal. Between 20 e ruary 4 March this vessel' made nine trips to the Bussell 1s- 1 nas including the original echelon. The SAUFLEY a was not only transport and covering vessel, but also a :- D tug towing LCT's on several occasions. The next ten days were spent on anti-submarine patrol off Guadal- canal. On 15 March the SAUFLEY joined the SS PETER SYLVESTER en route to Noumea. The next day two bombs were dropped near the SYLVESTER by an enemy plane. The last eight Q85 days of March were spent along- side the USS RIG-EL in Havannah Harbor, Efate, New Hebrides. April, May, and J une were divided between exercising with the fleet out of Havannah Harbor and escort duty in the New Hebrides except for one week7s availability alongside the USS DOBBIN in Sydney, Aus- tralia in early May. The next quarter was spent in support of the op- erations in the middle .Solomons. On 3 J une, the SAU- FLEY participated in the first bombardment of the Shortland lslands. ' While searching for barge trafiic off Kolombangara a week later the SAUFLEY was ordered to investigate a sho-rt range surface contact, shortly thereafter identi- fied as a submarine. This ship fired two torpedoes and all batteries before the sub submerged. A sonar con- tact was made and two depth-charge attacks followed. The submarine was believed sunk. On 12 July, the SAUFLEY, operating with a cruiser task force, bombarded Munda Point, silencing several shore batteries. Flare dropping planes were taken un- der fire and the SAUFLEY got its first plane. Six nights later, the SAUFLEY and four destroyers were attacked by six enemy planes. Seven sticks of bombs were dropped close aboard this ship. Three planes were shot down of which this ship was credited 6 with one. Full radar control of the 5 f38 battery was used. The occupation of Vella La Vella began on 15 August 1943. The SAUFLEY screened the first echelon of LC1's and assisted in repelling four to six enemy planes. Six underwater explosions rocked the ship. The next night, the SAUFLEY was ordered to assist in the uAction off Vella La Vellaw, but was recalled when the beachhead was brought under heavy air at- tack. During the attack this ship closed the flaming LST 396 to within 700 yards, and lay to in order to pick up survivors. All rescue nets were lo-wered and the whaleboat was put in the water. The Torpedo Ofli- cer, Lieutenant James Marion Coulling, USNR, of 48 S. Long Beach Ave., Freeport, Long lsland, New York, was in charge of the boat. ln the face of both a heavy air attack and flying debris from the LST, he courage- ously carried out his task. The SAUFLEY rescued 93 men including 10 officers and the SC 1266 picked up the rest of the crew. The only fatality was a pharmacist's mate who died shortly after he was picked up by the SAUFLEY. The next morning the SAUFLEY was attacked by 8 to 10 dive-bombers coming down sun. The machine guns fired at two planes which dropped two bombs close aboard, while the main battery was iiring at two lanes attacking the beachhead The gunnery officers p . slewed on the attacking planes after he saw the bombs, but by then they were almost out of range. He then shifted to a single bomber which was also going out on the starboard side. After a right spot was applied, a 5 burst hit the plane which circled and crashed close to the beach. 7 About 1600 that afternoon a single plane attacked the USS PHILIP astern of this ship and was taken un- der fire by all batteries as he pulled out. He dropped three bombs off the port quarter and then attempted to pull out of his dive passing astern from port to star- board. Smoking, he dropped close to the water and passed up the starboard side at about 10,000 yards. A friendly fighter reported that it was shot down just before 44Cease Fire was given. The machine guns got the credit. Shortly afterwards three planes with target angle 090 were seen over the beach. The 40MM machine guns took one under fire and the main battery another. Friendly fighters reported that both planes that were seen to drop behind a hill were actually shot down. During these attacks the destroyers were laying smoke screens to cover the landing craft. On 22 August the SAUFLEY, RENSHAW and CUNY proceeded up the slot to interrupt the Tokyo Express. Early in the morning of the 23rd, enemy planes were continuously present. The three destroy- ers were laying smoke screens, and the SAUFLEY, lead- er of the column, was the only ship attacked. Several planes were fired on. At 0305 a torpedo was launched which was avoided by an emergency back full and radi- cal maneuvering. Shorly thereafter, another torpedo passed 20 yards asterng Captain Brown had the conn. On 26 August enroute from Kokumbona, Guadal- canal to Barakoma, Vella La Vella, the SAUFLEY was a re-supply echelon which was bombed by several enemy planes. No damage was done to any ship. The SAU- FLEY was on a similar mission of 31 August when 4- out of 10 to 12 planes attacked this ship. About 6 bombs 8 , were dropped within l0 to 20 yards of the fantail, caus- ing negligible damage to the ship. The SAUFLEY fired without results. Enroute from Purvis Bay, Solomon Islands to Es- piritu Santos, the SAUFLEY established a sound con- tact on l5 September. After the fourth depth-charge attack the submarine surfaced and was taken under fire with both 5 f38 and machine guns. A number of hits were observed. The sub disappeared, but shortly there- after an underwater explosion was heard. The next morning after the fifth attack, there was an oil slick 8,000 yards long, and 500 yards Wide. Also observed were several large wooden fragments and pieces of deck grating and the strong odor of diesel oil. This ship and plane 4341 of VP-23 were given equal credit for probably sinking the sub. The Gunnery Officer during the Vella La Vella campaign was William J. Martin, Lieutenant, USN, of Farmer City, Illinois. His ability to get on targets, con- trol the battery, and make effective spots under air at- tack are ample expressions of his quick reactions, calm- ness, and intelligence, which paid off in ,lap planes shot down. The rest of September was spent in the New Heb- rides, including a five-day availability alongside the USS WHITNEY. The SAUFLEY, in company with the USS RAD- FORD and USS GRAYSUN, participated in the destruc- tion of 24 f50-755 feet long Japanese barges. Return machine gun fire from ,lap barges did no damage to any of the ships. The first of October, with RADFORD, GRAYSON and LAVALLETTE, this ship destroyed 9 9 of 10 em-my barges off Kolombangara, New Georgia lslandg two were definitely sunk by this ship. Later that night tl1e ship was under bombing attackg a near bomb put the SC radar out of commission and some thirty fragments penetrated the hull and superstructure. Thirteen Q13 men were injured.

'- 10 On October 27, returning from the initial landing on Treasury Islands, the formation was bombed by a single plane without results. The next three months the SAUFLEY was an es- cort and screening ship in the Bougainville campaign. On 11 November 1943, this ship proceeded independ- ently southwest of Bougainville to pick up a downed pilot. Upon returning to Empress Augusta Bay, after having rescued the pilot, this ship avoided the attack of live enemy bombers which had closed to 4,000 yards by ducking into a rain squall. The night of the 17th when the USS MCKEAN was sunk during a torpedo at- tack, the SAUFLEY screened the US.S SIGOUBNEY and USS TALBOT, which were engaged in picking up survivors. On December 6, 1943, Lieutenant Commander Dale E. Cochran, U. S. Navy, relieved Commander Bert F. Brown, U. S. Navy, as Commanding Oflicer. Between December 12th and 19th, the SAUFLEY temporarily interrupted its convoying activities with a seven-day availability in Sydney, Australia. This ship then resumed escorting echelons to Bou- gainville and continued until February 2, 1944, when she started a seven-day availability alongside the USS WHITNEY in Purvis Bay. The SAUFLEY participated in the first two echelons to Green Island. On the night of February 14-15, until after dawn, the formation was attacked by several groups of enemy planes with negative results. In a destroyer sweep off New lreland, the SAUFLEY bombarded Cape St. George radar station., Borpop, and 11 Namatanai Air Field, during the night of February 29 and morning of March lst. .Several shore batteries were silenced off Manarou Island, after this ship received some near misses. During the period from March llth to March 16th, this ship participated in bombardment of Japanese posi- tions and joint activities with PT boats in Empress Augusta Bay, Bougainville. The SAUFLEY served as a hospital evacuation ship after the landing at Emirau Island by taking 8 injured personnel back to Purvis Bay. She then returned to Emirau as part of a covering force which patrolled in the area most of April. A The SAUFLEY established a sound contact on April 7th and dropped depth charges. After the second nine- charge pattern was dropped, two underwater explos- ions were heard and felt. Four hours later about 4 miles upwind from the last contact, a diesel oil slick appeared on the surface of the water. By sunset this slick was measured and found to be 14 miles long and 3X4 of a mile wide. The assessment was that there was uinsufficient evidence . However, upon the cessation of hostilities, this command was notified that the assess- ment had been changed to a uClass B Assessment , there- by enabling the personnel attached to the ship at that time to wear a bronze star on the Asiatic-Pacific Cam- paign Ribbon. On June l, l944, the SAUFLEY left Pearl Harbor with the Northern Attack Force for the Saipan Opera- tion. Enroute, outside of Kwajalein, on J une llth, this ship conducted an anti-submarine attack until relieved by the USS FRANKS. Result was an oil slick of 3,000 12 yards long by 1600 yards wide. Arriving at Saipan on June 16th, the SAUFLEY covered the landing of rein- forcements. During the period from June 17th to August 8th, this ship engaged in 23 shore bombardments and 10 starshell missions on Saipan and Tinian. The total am- munition expenditure was 4,000 rounds of five inch 38 caliber shell, 400 starshells, and many rounds of 40 millimeter and 20 millimeter as well. The number of assignments alone shows how effective the firing was. Neutralization of enemy troop concentrations, destruc- tion of a co-rvette and several small craft in Tinian Town, one plane, the runway and several buildings of an air- field, an ammunition dump, gun emplacements, caves, blockhouses, and other installations, harrassment of Tinian Town and several groups of enemy troops, and starshell missions to prevent iniiltrations of our lines were all effectively accomplished. As an example of the extreme strain and hardship imposed by this campaign, Lieutenant James W. Beebe, USNR, of 1060 Roanoke Road, San Marino, California, the plotting room oflicer, lost twenty pounds during this period. His well trained and efficiently o-rganized crew showed the results of his careful, intelligent, untiring supervision. ' The SAUFLEY also engaged enemy aircraft sev- eral times during this operation. On the afternoon of the 17th, the machine guns opened fire on two Tonys retiring over this ship from a strafing attack on the beachhead. No hits were observed and no damage was sustained. The next evening, the main battery and ma- chine guns took 3 Tonys of a group of more than 12 under fire, chasing them into several Hellcats, who shot 13 down at least six planes. On June 19th, o-ne Zero took off from Tinian and proceeded to make a surprise at- tack on this ship. Machine gun fire soon dissuaded him, and shortly afterwards a Hellcat accounted for him. On June 26th, the main battery, using full radar con- trol, set fire to a Betty. Whether the plane was downed was not definitely ascertained. The SAUFLEY departed from Saipan on August 12, 1944, for Pearl Harbor and ultimately San Francisco. She arrived at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding and Dry- dock Company, San Francisco, California, on August 31st, after having been underway, except for rearming, refueling and provisioning, for 92 days. This ship had Navy Yard availability for the next six weeks. The .SAUFLEY left San Francisco on 19 October 1944. After participating in training exercises both at San Diego and Pearl Harbor, the SAUFLEY reported to Commander Seventh Fleet whose forces she joined at Leyte Gulf on 20 November. For the next eleven days, the SAUFLEY operated both with the main body of the covering fo-rce and on patrol stations. Many red alerts combined with a neg- ligible fighter cover of several P-38's a few hours a day gave ships an excellent opportunity to destroy enemy planes. On the 22nd and 24th enemy planes were taken under fire without results. Shortly before noon on the 27th the main covering force was attacked by about 15 planes. While the main battery shot down a dive-bomber on the port bow at which several ships were firing, the machine guns shot down a dive-bomber on the starboard bow, a sure kill. Shortly thereafter, the main battery tracked a torpedo plane coming in with target angle zero and opened fire 14 at maximum effective range The plane began to smoke at 6 000 yaids and crashed into the water at 4 000 yards Many hits were observed On the ni ht of the 21th accompanied by Destroy Ormoc Bay and participated in the fu st destroyer sweep of Ormoc Bay for the puipose of destroying enemy shipping which might be attempting to land reinforce ments on the West Coast of Leyte Our predetermined speed was 30 knots. Visibility was extremely poor. Slowing speed to 20 knots SAUFLEY fired 120 rounds of 5 f38 AA Common on predetermined target with un- observed results. Upon completion of bombardment, the division made a sweep westward into the Camotes Sea. At 2313 a PBY on patrol reported an enemy sub- marine approaching Ormo-c Bay. Soon thereafter the RENSHAW picked up a surface target which was im- mediately confirmed by the SAUFLEYQ range was 6 miles. The RENSHAW opened fire followed by the SAUFLEY at a range of 3 miles. Submarine was taken by surprise and commenced radical maneuvers. Star- shell illumination afforded optical gun control. Soon after all ships commenced firing LLOMM, the submarine returned fire with machine guns. Fire was ceased as it became apparent the VVALLER was going to ram the submarine. The WALLER circled the submarine and the Division Commander reported that the sub- marine sank stern first. All ships were given credit for definitely sinking the submarine. .g ,. 9 . J - l er Division FORTY THREE, this ship proceeded to Un 29 November the SAUFLEY was patrolling be- tween Homonho-n and Dinagat Islands at the entrance to Leyte Gulf. The U.S.S. AULICK was in the same sta- tion about 4 miles away. The condition was uflash white and the ceiling was less than 1,000 feet. At 15 l752 the AULICK commenced firing with her machine guns. Immediately thereafter, a VAL was seen making a run on the SAUELEY. The ship turned hard left and went to flanking speed. This deception plus the fact the plane was hit with ship's gunfire resulted in the plane with bomb load intact crashing close aboard to starboard, causing an explosion which inflicted con- siderable damage to starboard side forward. All en- gines were stopped to prevent further damage to hull in case of flooding. The ship again went to flank speed as a Zero commenced run from port quarter. The port machine gun battery put the Zero in flames, the ship was turned hard right, and the plane crashed along the port side. About three minutes later another Val ap- proaching from astern was taken under fire as ship turn- ed left. Plane released its bomb which flew between the stacks exploding close aboard to starboard, causing injury to personnel in that area. This Val was believed to be hit as it flew over the ship, caught fire and crash- ed 50 yards off the starboard bow. All three planes came down in about 60 degree dives through the very low ceiling so that extreme visual range was less than 2,000 yards in each case. They all strafed, but without suc- CCSS. Une man, Evan ALLEN, StM2c, USNR, was lost over the side and twenty-sx men received minor injuries, none, however, being hospitalized. The injured were: ALLEN, Raymond W., Lt. Qjgl BOYES, ,lon L., Lt. Qjgl SMITH, Douglas R., Mach.

The watertight integrity of the shell was not impaired. The AULICK was under attack by three suicide planes at the same time, and suffered consid- erable damage and loss of life. According to all available information, this was the first concerted suicide attack on a picket ship. Persis- tent firing by the alert, well-disciplined machine-gun crews combined with well-timed hard turns and changes of speed were an unbeatable combination. The Com- manding Oflicer, Commander Dale E. COCHRAN at the conn should be credited with saving the ship by 17 maneuvering while Lieutenant Q Daniel B. MICHIE, .I r., USNB of Wasliingtoli Lane and Panther Road, By- dal, Penna., Machine Gun Control Ofiicer and Gunner B. H. BISHOP, U.S.N., 501 HA Street, Bentonville, Arkansas, Assistant Machine Gun Control Officer un- doubtedly sparked their gun crews to do the most dam- age. Individual acts of heroism were commonplace. On 2 December, the SAUFLEY departed for Manus Island, Admiralty Islands to effect repairs of battle damage. . This ship proceeded independently from lVIanus on 1 January 1945 to pick up intelligence photographs at Hollandia, New Guinea and rendezvous with the Lin- gayen Attack Force enroute to the objective area. During evening twilight on the 8th, the formation was attacked by about 8 planes, 4 of which were soon to be shot down by friendly fighters. One Val on our port quarter was taken under fire by all batteries. He circled astern in a steep dive so that the main battery had to check fire because the bearing was not clear. The machine guns followed him down to a position angleof 15 degree when check fire was given. At about the same time, the transports commenced firing. He crashed about 100 yards astern of the nearest transport. The evaluation was at least a sure assist because of our heavier and more accurate fire. The SAUFLEY screened the initial landing at Lin- gayen in Lingayen Gulf, Luzon on 8 January. Shortly after sunset, this ship simultaneously to-ok two planes under fire without results. The next morning, a Val came in from the port quarter, circled the ship, and then made a shallow sui- 18 cide dive from the port beam Many hits by the ma chine guns were observed and the plane clashed in the water close aboard to starboard On January 12 the SAUFLEY fired at two planes without results that afternoon this ship departed from Llngayen and proceeded to Leyte Gulf as screening sh1p for returning transpolts The next day enroute the SAUFLEY rescued one man who had been thrown overboard by a suicide crash in the U S S ZEILIN After escorting a convoy to MOIOt31 and then back to Leyte the SAUFLEY escorted the CCC INGHAM January The same day this ship proceeded to the Nasugbu landing to seive as screening vessel On the morning of 1 February the SAUFLEY sank an attacking boat Later the same morning this sh1p neutralized a Japanese pocket of resistance with the main battery The Commanding Officer was Officer in Tactical Command of a resupply echelon to Nasugbu on the 7th and 8th, The SAUFLEY evacuated 8 wounded to Min doro. to the Silbic Bay beachhead, and arrived there on 31 HQ,, 0 . . 2 . . . . ln Subic Bay, on 12 February Lieutenant Comman- der Francis W. SILK, U. S. Navy, relieved Commander Dale E. COCHRAN, U. S. Navy, as Commanding Offi- cer, U. S. S. SAUFLEY. The SAUFLEY participated in the initial landings and the occupation of Mariveles, Bataan and Corregi- dor Island. After the landing at Mariveles on the 15th this ship delivered counter battery fire on Caballo While covering minesweepers. That night, this ship supplied interdiction fire on the roads leading to Mari- 19 veles. The 11ext day, the SAUFLEY covered the land- ings on Corregidor. Between the 18th and 26th of February, expend- ing 2700 rounds of 5 f38, 70 starshells, and about 2500 rounds of 40MM ammunition, the SAUFLEY engaged in 10 shore bombardments and 3 starshell harrassing missions on Corregidor. An active Japanese 75MM, numerous caves and pill boxes, a Q boat, and two barges were destroyed, and many enemy troop concentrations were neutralized. On one day alone, the spotter on the beach reported that this ship's fire had sealed up 20 caves and killed 159 .laps who had already come out of the caves. The SAUFLEY steamed through mined waters sev- eral times and on one day anchored about 500 yards off Monkey Point to deliver the fire the Army needed. The Commanding Oflicer, Lt. Comdr. F. W. SILK, USN, was commended by Commander Destroyer Division 46 for the excellent performance of his ship during this operation. On 1 March, the SAUFLEY conducted a pre-H hour shore bombardment of Tilic Town, Lubang lsland, Philippine Islands. This ship was flagship for the Lu- bang operation. I After a four-day availability alongside the U. S. S. DOBBIN in Subic Bay, the SAUFLEY went to- Mindoro to join the Zamboanga attack force as a screening ship. During the' Zamboanga operation, the SAUFLEY on 16 March, screened the Basilan Attack Unit and bom- barded Lamitan Town before the landing. On 24 March, the SAUFLEY became flagship of the Commander Sulu Attack Group and the Senior 20 Officer Present Afloat at Zamboanga. Until 21 April, this ship was ancho-red at Zamboanga except during the Sanga Sanga and Jolo operations in which the SAU- FLEY served as flagship, screening vessel, and covering vessel. The landing on Sanga .Sanga was made on 2 April. That afternoon, the SAUFLEY and several other vessels near the beach were fired upon by ,lap machine guns. No counter battery fire was delivered, because the extent of our patrols was not known. From 8 April to 11 April the SAUFLEY partici- pated in the attack on Jolo. Un the 9th, this ship de- livered a pre H-hour bombardment. The next day, this ship silenced a Japanese gun emplacement during a bombardment. From 22 April to 2 May, the SAUFLEY was an- chored in Tawi Tawi Bay, Sulu Archipelago with Com- mander of Sulu Attack Group on board in charge of sweeping operations. This ship then went to Morotai, Halmahera Group and spent the next two weeks escorting convoys between Leyte and Morotai. The SAUFLEY received tender availability alongside the U.S.S. WHITNEY from 21 May to 28 May to effect structural repairs. On 3 June the SAUFLEY left Morotai with a convoy to Brunci Bay, British North Borneo. This ship screened un- loading operations at the objective area on 15 June and then proceeded to the Miri-Lutong area to cover mine- sweeping operations. Three days later the SAUFLEY left for Mo-rotai. On 26 June, the SAUFLEY departed with the at- tack force for Balikpapan. She served both in screen- ing and fire-support assignments. During 7 shore bom- bardments and 2 star-shell missions, this ship expend- 21 I i 3 5 4 5 Q 5 E Z 5 f ! E ,X S 4 1 5 Q b r I 1 i 1 N ed over 1000 rounds of 5 ,f38 ammunition. Many ma- chine gun and coastal-defense-gun emplacements were destroyed, and several harrassing and interdiction mis- sions Were accomplished. This ship departed fo-r Moro- tai on 19 July. The SAUFLEY Went to Leyte from Morotai and re- mained in the Leyte area until 5 August when the ship left for Ulithi, Caroline Islands to report to Comman- der Marianas Group for escort duty because of the sub- marine menace in the area at that time. The last week of the War was spent escorting ships between Ulithi and Leyte. On 25 August the SAUFLEY reported to the Com- mander Yangtze Patrol Force in Subic Bay for duty. This ship arrived at the Saddle Islands, China on 9 September. The Commanding Officer, Lt. Comdr. F. W. SILK, was in charge of mine sweepers clearing the approaches to the Yangtze River mouth. This ship served as mine destruction vessel as Well. On 26 Sep- tember, the .SAUFLEY left for a Week's liberty in Shang- hai - the first liberty since October, 1944. On October 7th, the SAUFLEY went to Tinghai, Chusan Archipelago, China, about 100 miles south of Shanghai, in the mouth of Hangchow Bay, to uassistv the Chinese Governor of Tinghai Archipelago, the Hon- orable Sin Pao, to effect the surrender of 2700 members of the Japanese Naval Garrison stationed on Tinghai Island at the suicide boat base, and who had stubbornly refused to surrender. For the next ten days, the Commanding Officer and several officers and members of the crew participated actively in the disarming and concentration of this gar- rison. These ,Iaps were well-fed, well equipped and 22 well prepared to give the Allies a great deal of trouble from this base, for not only were they excellently equipped from a defense standpoint, but as a major of- fensive weapon against Allied shipping, they had ap- proximately eighty-seven Q-boats fjapanese suicide motor boatsl . The Official U. S. Naval Inspecting party was feted, dined, wined and paraded through several villages in the locality by the grateful. Chinese. The first Inspecting Party ashore consisted of the Command- ing Officer, Lieutenant Commander Francis W. Silk, USN, Lieutenant James W. Beebe, USNR, Lieutenant Philip B. Holbrook, USNR, Lieutenant fjgl .lames M. Pennebaker, USNR, Lieutenant fjgl Douglas C. Reid, USNR, Ensign Joseph F. Carroll, USNR fattached to the SAUFLEY for temporary dutyl, Chief 'Gunner's Mate Henry C. Evans, USN, and Chief Yeoman Roy W. Akers, USN. The first day on the beach, these men were all treated to a luncheon party by the Governor. All large guns were rendered inoperative, and all portable guns and ammunition were assembled and put under guard. The ,laps themselves were interned in a Fishing School and the buildings near the air strip. In China, one of the days for much celebration is the 10th of October, known as HDouble Ten Dayw, the tenth day of the tenth month. On the night of October 10th, a dinner was given by the village of Tinghai, and several members of the crew of the SAUFLEY were in- vited over, where they were paraded through the streets to the accompaniment of wild cheers and shouts. Fur- ther relaxation was enjoyed by the crew by a basketball game and a volleyball game between the Chinese soldiers occupying Tinghai and the SAUFLEY crew. The SAL'- FLEY won the basketball game with a score of 4-9 to 3l. Members of the SAUFLEY team were: HAWICINS, 23 D. M., PhM1c, USNR, HIGHLEY, D, L., MM3c, USNR, HILLMAN, E., M3c, USNR, MACOM, V. M., TM1c, USNR, 0'REILLY, D. D., EMlc, USNR, ZINTER, R. V. Slc, USNB, BLAKE, T. S., Slc, USNB, ARNOLD, B. D. Slc, USNR, KORDOSKY, J. V., lVIlVl3c, USN-I, LEVIN- SON, A., MM3c, USNB. The Chinese soldiers won three volleyball games to our two. The men of the SAUFLEY's volleyball team were: VEACH, J. E., FC3c, USNB, LEVINSON, A., HIGHLEY, D. L., BLAKE, T. S., HUTCHINSON, J. B., VVT2c, USNB, DIVITOBIO, H. F., GMIC, USN, LEIBERG, J., Slc, USN, and CIC- CHETTI, G. T., Flc, USNR. 7 Before the SAUFLEY left Tinghai, the crew made up a purse of almost five hundred dollars to feed and care for approximately three hundred Chinese orphans who were suffering from malnutrition in a Catholic Mission in -Tinghai. Between October 26th and November 4th, the SAUFLEY had a recreation period and was the first destroyer to have a Ship's Party in Shanghai. For this gala occasion, a large ballroom, the Meropole, was rented for two nights and an orchestra was lined up. Half the crew attended one night, the remainder the next night. A very enjoyable time was had by all hands. During November the SAUFLEY served as Harbor Entrance Control Vessel at the mouth of the Yangtze River. On the night of November 21st, a very tragic accident occurred. As the whaleboat was being hoisted in, due to a leak being discovered in the bottom, two men were left in the water by the boat sinking. One was rescued after floating about two miles aft of the ship. The other, Maury Gus Donato, Slc, USNB, of Plainfield, New Jersey, was pulled under the water by 24 7 the boat, when one of his feet was caught by a line at- tached to the boat. All efforts to save him failed and he was officially listed as 66Missing . His body was never recovered. During the latter part of November and the first of December, the SAUFLEY made a couple of mail runs between Okinawa and Shanghai. On December 12th, flying the homeward bound pennant, in company with Destroyer Division FORTY- THREE QUSS ROBINSON DD562 carrying the flag of Captain Robert L. CAMPBELL, USN, CDS-225, USS WALLER DD466, USS PHILIP DD489 plus the USS CHARRETTE DD58l, departed Shanghai, enroute to San Diego, via Eniwetok and Pearl Harbor. Arriving in Pearl Harbor on December 23rd, the Divisio-n remained overnight while fuel and supplies were taken on. Christ- mas Day, l945, was spent at sea, when for the first time in the history of the ship, no reveille was held on the crew, except for watch standers. The men were allowed to get up when they got good and ready, breakfast was not prepared until 0930, and a delicious Christmas dinner was served about 1400. Point Loma, California, was raised on the morning of January 30th, but the Division was fogbound until about noon, and the harbor of San Diego was entered in the afternoon. After two weeks of very enjoyable liberty and rec- reation, the SAUFLEY, ROBINSON, WALLER and PHILIP stood out of San Diego Harbor for New York, N. Y., via the Panama Canal. Captain R. L. Malpass, USN, C.O. of the ROBINSON, was Officer in Tactical Command. 25 Un thc morning of January 26th, the SAUFLEY led, the Division up the Narrows into New York Harbor, and tied up at the 35th Street Docks in Brooklyn.. From February lst through February 28th, the SAUFLEY underwent repairs and alterations at the New York Naval Shipyard in Brooklyn. On the night of February 25th, a Ship's Dance and Party was held by all hands at the Starlight Boof of the Waldo-rf Astoria. This dance was attended by many ex-crewmen of the SAUFLEY who were either stationed in and around New York or who were by now civilians. Everyone agreed that this was the nicest party ever given by the ship. n Un March -ith, the SAUFLEY, in company with the remainder of the Division, steamed out of New York Harbor-destination: Charleston, S. C., and decom- missioning. On the morning of March 6th, she com- pleted the last sea journey of her career prior to inacti- vation. Steaming past historic Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie, on under the Grace Memorial Bridge that spans the Cooper River, she tied up in Berth F-5 at the Charleston Naval Shipyard at l240. This voyage made a total of 238,980 engine miles steamed in her three and a half year career. Cn April l8th, Commander Francis W. Silk, USN, was relieved as Commanding Officer by Lieutenant Com- mander Richard C. Smart, USNB. On June l2th, the SAUFLEY was formally decom- missioned and placed in the Out of Co-mmission, ln Be- serve, status in the SIXTEENTH Fleet.
