SHIPS HIC TORY SPERRY was named after Elmer Ambrose Sperry, inventor and pioneer of sub- marine construction. She was launched December 17, 1941 at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, the first major ship launched after the start of World War II. Command of SPERRY was assumed by Captain R.H. Smith on her com issioning date of May 1, 1942. Following shakedown she arrived in Pearl Harbor August 2, 1942, to begin her record of service in World War II. She traveled to Australia, New Caledonia, Majuro Atoll, Eniwetok Atoll, Guam and Midway, ser- vicing submarines that in turn reached out to strangle Japanese shipping. Since World War II, SPERRY has provided services to submarines operating from San Diego. In 1961 the ship was modernized and is now capable of ser- vicing the nuclear submarines. SPERRY is a miniature city and offers the following services and facilities to her crew and the crews of submarines alongside: A. Barber, laundry, dry cleaning, post office, and a well stocked ships store. B. Medical and dental care equal to that available at any large shore station. C. Religiaus services are held each Sunday with special family worship on the third Sunday of each month. The repair services of SPERRY are comparable to those of an industrial shipyard. Logistics services, including pay, food, fuel oil, water, and ammunition are supplied to all submarines tended. The completeness of the services offered by the SPERRY is the basis for the ship's motto .............
