Down The corridor oT years, as our way of liTe was ThreaTened, The Navy has been The naTion's TirsT line of defense. Plunging inTo baTTle, oTTen ill-prepared and undermanned, ouTgunned, againsT superior forces, making lil'Tle do where vasT quanTiTies were needed, America's men oT The Navy have compiled a hisTory, rich in high ideals, so Tilled wiTh accounTs of devoTion To duTy, inspiraTion has never been laclcing Tor succeeding generaTions of Navy's TighTing men. 1 ,V nn-.. , ,.,, 7-,WM,,,,, aw' i,.1v:5. :nw V .. s-3 . . .su if .

Unprepared and undermanned, CapTain Lawrence's CHESAPEAKE was shaTTered. The CapTain's dying words, Don'T give up The ship, seT a sTandard oT devoTion Trom which The UniTed STaTes Navy has never wavered. There was CapTain Isaac Hull, in command oT The CONSTITUTION, who broughT his ship wiThin pisToI range oT The BriTish ship GUERRIERE, Turned calmly To his crew and said, Now, boys, pour iT inTo Them. The Trugal CapTain wanTed every shoT To counT, and They did. OuT oT acTion aT The TirsT blasT, The GUERRIERE sank wiThin The hour. Years oT peace passed by The naTion, in which many greaT men added To The glorious TradiTion begun in The sTruggle Tor exisTence. The age oT sTeeI and sTeam came To The sea and coIorTul sailing ships gave way To iron monsTers, marking The beginning oT our modern Navy. The paTTern was seT in The Civil War encounTer oT The Union MONITOR and The Con- Tederacy's MERRIMAC. The ironclad ships Tired aT each oTher Tor Tive hours, neiTher doing harm To her enemy. WiTh consTrucTion oT The sTeeI vessels DOLPHIN and ATLANTA in I888, They enTered The lisT againsT The poTenT Spanish TIeeT. In The war wiTh Spain, anoTher greaT chapTer in Naval hisTory was wriTTen.

A quarTer-cenTury oT uneasy peace Tollowed beTore The world again rocked To The deaTh sTruggles oT mighTy armies. War came To The PaciTic and The UniTed STaTes December 7, I94I. From The wreckage and blood oT Pearl Harbor, sprang The mighTiesT naval Torce The world has ever seen. Navy men Today may noT be sure oT pasT naval hisTory, buT by Their courage and Their sacriTice, They have per- sonally recorded many chapTers, Their own memorial oT nearly Tour years oT war. They can never TorgeT Those biTTer, early monThs when, wiTh so liTTle, There was so much To be done. A swaggering, successTul enemy roamed The vasT PaciTic, and There was liTTle we could do To impede him. Nazi submarine packs prowled The rough ATlanTic waTers, Taking Their deadly Toll oT Allied ships. IT was Then The indusTrial mighT oT our naTion proved iTselT as shipyards, slowly aT TirsT, began producTion oT The Thousands oT ships which we musT have. The close oT I943 saw ship aTTer ship, launched wiTh a rapidiTy which sTarTled The world. From every walk oT liTe came The men who would sail and TighT The ships. The real hisTory oT The Navy is The sTory oT The oTTicers and men who TighT The ships. Americans all-a buTcher, who sTudied elecTriciTy and kepT complicaTed gunnery conTrol equipmenT in The TinesT condiTiong a lawyer, a baker, cooks, docTors, newspapermen and all The oThers, eager and quick To learn. IvlasTering The sTrange and inTricaTe equipmenT oT Their ships, They carried The TighT To The enemy, wherever he could be Tound. IT was The old Navy regular, who worried and TreTTed wiTh green men, Teaching Them, driving, shouTing, and even pampering Them inTo becoming in The shorT alloTTed Time, dependable crew members who could handle Their iobs like veTerans. Navy liTe was never soTT, and The regulars Toughened recruiTs To Take The sTrange new liTe aTloaT and To meeT every conTingency. Each recruiT Tound his own parTicular hell, some serving in climaTes so hoT every shred oT cloThing dripped wiTh perspiraTion as he wresTled wiTh heavy supplies and loaded ammuniTion beTween air aTTacks. OThers sailed inTo The Toul weaTher oT The NorTh ATlanTic, Tacing The driving snow, sleeT and ice unTil he was numb wiTh The biTTer cold. There were long, TerriTying hours oT suspense as submarine packs dodged in and ouT oT heavily- Iaden convoys and American desTroyers danced and rolled as They chased The wolves circling The huddled, slowly moving ships. ' To The Navy's lisT oT greaT leaders were added The names oT men, who only a Tew shorT years beTore were iunior oTTicers, Tollowing The Tedious rouTine oT peaceTime Navy liTe. When The Time came Tor Them To assume command oT vasT Torces, They were ready. The long years oT poring over Tomes oT naval lore, TacTics, sTraTegy, IogisTics and operaTions paid dividends in vicTories Tor American sea power. Naval hisTorians will Tind The niches Tor These men, buT Those who served under Them know Their greaTness, abiIiTy, daring and resourcefulness. They know, Trom experience, The hundreds oT sTories oT Their exploiTs, Their humaneness and love oT The men who served under Them. These oTIicers and men have won a vicTory ThaT is sweeT because oT The promise oT peace Tor all men. ThaT This may be a lasTing peace is The TervenT prayer oT all. BUT, unTil iT is clear ThaT swords have been pounded inTo plowshares. our Navy will conTinue To be This naTion's TirsT line oT deTense. 'A' ir 'k E 13 Wi 5' TF I il D :AI ? '-go ,J- ' .. MM- .1 N.

S. PaciTic EIeeT in Pearl Harbor, TerriTory oT I-Iawaii. The sole obiecT oT The aTTack was To annihiIaTe The Amer- ican TIeeT-baTTIeships in parTicular. The USS TENNESSEE, CapTain C. E. Reordan commanding, was one oT eighT baTTIeships which par- TicipaTed in The baTTle. On ThaT occasion The CALI- FORNIA, MARYLAND, TENNESSEE, ARIZONA, and NEVADA, respecTiveIy, were moored in single Tile aT Eord lsland in The middle oT Pearl I-Iarbor. The OKLAI-IGMA was berThed alongside The MARYLAND, while The WEST VIRGINIA was beside The TENNES- SEE. The eighTh baTTleship, PENNSYLVANIA, was in drydock aT The Navy Yard. OTher warships oT various Types were also presenT in The harbor. IT was a beauTiTuI morning wiTh Tleecy clouds in The sky, and The visibiliTy was good. Aboard The TENNESSEE The usual Sunday schedule prevailed. Many oT The oTTicers had gone ashore over The week- end. The Marine DeTachmenT was drawn up on The TanTaiI Tor morning Colors, mess Tables were being cleared away, some oT The men were geTTing dressed preparaTory To going on liberTy, while oThers baTTed- The-breeze over Their aTTer breakTasT smoke. In iTs beginning The 'day was iusT anoTher peaceTuI Sunday aT The UniTed STaTes' IargesT naval base. A Tew minuTes beTore 7:55 a.m., several squadrons OT musTard-yellow planes Tlew over The island oT Oahu Trom The souThwesT, buT This caused no alarm as miliTary planes overhead was The usual Thing. When Those squadrons approached Pearl I-Iarbor They maneuvered inTo aTTack TormaTions aT low aITiTude over Merry's PoinT. AT 7:55 a.m. wave aTTer wave oT Those warplanes sTreamed across The harbor and hurled Their deadly missiles upon The unsuspecTing baTTle TIeeT. Every plane seemed To have iTs obiecTive selecTed in advance, Tor They separaTed inTo groups and each group concenTraTed on a speciTic ship. When The TirsT wave oT aTTacking planes came over I was in The Marine DeTachmenT oTTice on The second deck oT The TENNESSEE. PTc. George W. Dinning IDavenporT, Iowal, The clerk, was seaTed aT The desk making ouT The Morning ReporT. Suddenly we TeIT a violenT bump which gave us The Teeling ThaT The ship had been pushed bodily sideways, and as I did noT hear any explosion I remarked ThaT some ship had run inTo us. lmmediaTeIy aTTer ThaT The alarm gongs sounded General QuarTers. I was so surprised ThaT I could hardly believe my ears, buT The noise oT explosions Through The open porTs Torced iT upon me. George never did Tinish ThaT Morning ReporT: he iumped seemingly sideways Through The door and was gone like The wind. SnaTching a deTachmenT rosTer Trom The desk I dashed aTTer him. My baTTle sTaTion was on The 5-inch broadside guns where I could see whaT acTuaIIy was happening around us. I had a hurried look around Trom The case- maTes on The sTarboard side and Then wenT over To The porT side. The sky was doTTed wiTh black puTTs oT anTi-aircraTT Tire. A plane, Trailing a plume oT smoke, was plunging earThward over Eord Island. OTT in The direcTion oT SchoTieId Barracks There was a vasT cloud OT black smoke. AT The same Time Two billowing pillars oT smoke arose Trom The Navy Yard and l'Iickam Field area. The sky was Tull oT planes bearing The Rising Sun emblem oT Japan. Overhead droned a TlighT Time again To geT in The killing blows. FirsT came aerial Torpedoes, Then heavy bombers and dive bombers. Wifhin a Tew minuTes oT The commencemenT oT The aTTack we were hiT direcT Two Times by bombs. One bomb bursTing on The Torward TurreT dis- abled one gun, and a TragmenT Trom iT peneTraTed The shield on The bridge above killing a sailor, and severely wounding an oTTicer. The commander oT The WEST VlRGlNlA, CapTain Mervyn S. Bennion, was morTally wounded by a porTion oT This bomb when he emerged Trom The conning Tower To The bridge oT his ship. The second, a l5- or I6-inch proiecTile, which The enemy was using as a bomb, hiT The aTT TurreT, buT TorTunaTely iT did noT explode, buT pierced The Top, killing Two men under The poinT oT impacT. AT abouT 8:00 a.m,, a Terrific explosion Took place in our new asTern, ARIZONA, which Tairly liTTed us in The waTer. She blew up in an enormous Tlame and a :loud oT black smoke when her Torward magazine ex- ploded aTTer a Japanese bomb had dropped down her Tunnel. Her back broken by The explosion, The enTire Torward porTion oT The ship canTed away from Thr- aTT porlion as The ship began To seTTle on The bcTToin. lT was a :crane which cannoT easily be TorgoTTen- 'iw ATQTQTONA was a mass oT Tire Trom bow To Tore- maiT, on divck and beTween decks, and The surface of This waTrr Toi a large dis.Tance around was a mass oT Tlaming oil Trom millions oT gallons oT Tuel oil.

Then a very greaT many Things happened in a very shorT Time. The Japanese planes sTruclc Time and bombs sTarTed Tires which Tilled her declcs and super- sTrucTure wiTh Tlame and smolce. ln The midsT oT all This Turmoil, The NEVADA, The nexT ship asTern oT The blazing ARlZQNA goT under way and headed Tor The channel. As she moved dawn sTream The vessel was a TargeT oT many enemy planes unTiI badly crippled by a Torpedo, and aTTer ThaT she ran aground To prevenT sinlcing. The nexT picTure was a desTroyer, name unlcnown, leaving The harbor under a wiThering Tire Trom Japanese planes. BuT To reTurn To The TENNESSEE, The real sTory oT This ship lies in The splendid manner in which The ohficers and men on board arose To The emergency. When General QuarTers was sounded all hands dashed To Their baTTle sTaTions. There was no panic. The shoclc Tound each and every man ready Tor his iob. AnTi-aircraTT and machine guns were guiclcly manned, The TirsT gun geTTing inTo acTion in less Than Three minuTes aTTer The alarm. For The nexT TorTy minuTes The TENNESSEE was The cenTer oT a whirlwind oT bombs and bulleTs. The Japanese planes bombed our ship and Then bombed again.

When This cIeared There was noThing To be seen save dusT seTTIing on The waTer. The Marines were sTaTioned on The 5-inch broad- side guns numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and IO.

The NEVADA had been run hard ashore, in a sinking condiTion. My aHenTion was called To The bridge of The WEST VIRGINIA. I-ler CapTain was lying There morTally wounded. Rescue parTies could noT reach him because The bridge was wreaThed in Tire and smoke. STill cap- able of movemenT, he was Trying To roll away Trom The choking fumes and blisTering heaT. I Then goT down Trom The Tops and made anoTher Tour of The baTTIe sTaTions, and aT each Tound The same picTure. The men were cool and in Tine spiriT. Everyone was doing his uTmosT, and The Things ThaT we had been Training Tor Tor many monThs were being achieved. The men had seT up machine guns on Tem- porary mounTs and were blazing away aT The aTTackers. A volunTeer crew on The quarTer-deck worked The 3-inch gun wiTh The precision and cerTainTy oi a well- regulaTed machine, They mighl have been aT drill Tor all The exciTemonT They displayed. A .lap plane Tlew over: The gun flamed, iT roared, iT leaped To The rear, iT slid To The TronT: The gun was loadedt anoTher TargeT appeared, The gun was Tired again, and The proiecTiIe screamed skyward. I ThoughT These men periormed Their duTies in a mosT eTT'icienT manner despiTe The TacT ThaT They had no previous experience in The use oT ThaT parTicular Type gun. Going To The bridge I came upon The body oT a sailor who had been killed by bomb TragmenTs which peneTraTed The bridge shield like iT was Tissue paper. I-Ie was propped in a siTTing posiTion and sTilI wore head phones. ConTinuing my Tour oT baTTle sTaTions I was sur- prised To Tind a soldier aT a baTTIe sTaTion. I-le had come aboard ThaT morning To visiT a Triend and when General QuarTers sounded he wenT To The baffle sTaTion wiTh his Triend. Very early in The acTion an incidenT occurred which hisTory may record as The TirsT hand-To-hand encounTer oT The American-Japanese War. A Nipponese plane crashed on Ford Island near us and The uniniured piloT sTarTed running Toward a nearby clump oT Trees when a Marine senTry wiTh a bayoneTed riTle inTervened. The Tlier Took ouT his pisToI and aTTempTed To shooT The Marine, buT The IaTTer plunged his bayoneT inTo The Jap unTiI he was dead. I personally did noT see This, buT some oT The ship's company were wiTnesses. EvenTually The aTTackers gradually Tlew away, and Toward I0:I5 a.m., I saw one soliTary Jap plane dis- appear beyond The mounTain in back oT Pearl Harbor. The acTion Tor us was ended alThough we did noT Think so aT The Time. The exacT number oT enemy planes disposed oT cannoT be ascerTained wiTh any cerTainTy, buT my impression is ThaT iT was noT very large. We, oT course, do noT know where The aTTackers came Trom, buT iT is ThoughT ThaT They came Trom land bases as well as Trom aircraTT carriers. The Japanese Marshall Islands are abouT 2000 miles souThwesT oT Pearl I-larbor. lvlosT disappoinTing on This occasion was The absence oT our own aircraTT. During The aTTack on Pearl I-larbor iTseIT There was noT one American plane To be seen in The sky. Those who parTicipaTed in The baTTle had one ThoughT, one quesTion, Where in The hell is our air Tome? Lacking air defense, The brunT of The TighTing Tell To The anTi-aircraTT gun crews. They were perTecT. Their loT was The hardesT, Tor iT Takes rugged men To sTick To Their guns as dive bombers come screaming aT Them, and low-Tlying planes spray The decks wiTh machine-gun bulleTs. Ignoring The bombs and sTraTing. These gunners pumped a hail of meTal above The harbor iusT as coolly as iT They were aT TargeT pracTice. and accounTed Tor several raiders. No praise can be Too high Tor Them. The TENNESSEE casualTies were only 4 men killed or died oT wounds, l officer and 36 men wounded, and l man missing, which was really an asTonishingly lighT number considering The ToTal casualTies oT The aTTack. IT will never cease To be a source ol' wonder To me ThaT we did noT share The TaTe oT The ARIZONA. One iii? WH may aTTribuTe our comparaTive immuniTy To The Tollow- ing: I. The Grace of God-Tor an armor-piercing bomb, deTlecTed by The yardarm, sTruck The rooT oT The aTT TurreT a glancing blows Had The yardarm noT been in iTs paTh, The proiecTiIe would have peneTraTed The TurreT and de- TonaTed in The aTT magazine. 2. ThaT The WEST VIRGINIA berThed alongside shielded us Trom The Torpedo planes, 3. To The bravery and persisTency oT our 6IfCraTT gun crews in TighTing To The I TenT oT Their abiIiTy and equipmerff, was so heaw ThaT The Japanese Torced To swerve off course, bombs To Tall shorT o-F The ThaT so lew hiTs were obTained considering The number and proximiTy oT The bombs ThaT Tell around us. We compared noTes aTTerwards, and decided ThaT during The baTTle abouT eighTeen To TwenTy bombs Tell wiThin I00 yards oT The ship. 5. Thar aT Times The TENNESSEE was enTirely hidden by huge smoke clouds driTTing Trom The ARIZONA and WEST VIRGINIA. Scenes abouT The ship aTTer The baTTle beggar descripTion. The waTer surrounding The TENNESSEE was covered wiTh burning oil, which spread Trom The ARIZONA, and Tire brigades were engaged in a desperaTe TighT Tor Two days To save The ship. During This Time damage conTroI parTies ToughT Tor many hours To exTinguish a large Tire ThaT had sTarTed back aTT in The oTTicers' quarTers. In The meanwhile casualries and survivors Trom oTher ships began To arrive. ThaT aTTernoon Ten sur- vivors oT The ARIZONA Marine deparTmenT were re- ceived on board, and amongsT Them was CapTain John E. Earle, Jr., who had assumed command on The previous day. Prior To his TransTer on The 6Th oT December, CapTain Earle had been a deTachmenT oTTicer on The TENNESSEE and we were ThankTul To see him Turn up alive. IT was a greaT shock To us when he inTormed us ThaT oT The eighTy-eighT Marines who Tormed The ARIZONA DeTachmenT, only ThirTeen were able To escape, and The oTher sevenTy-Tive had perished. MosT oT The survivors had been in The main-Top when The ship blew up and in some miraculous way, in spiTe oT The inTense heaT and choking smoke, had climbed down The masT, iumped overboard, and swam ashore Through paTches oT oil burning on The waTer. The only iniury received by The swimmers was sore guTs, caused by shock oT bombs exploding in The waTer. Among Those who perished was The EirsT SergeanT oT The ARIZONA-SergeanT John Duveene. The sur- vivors Told us ThaT aTTer coming up on deck, SergeanT Duveene suddenly wenT back inTo The ship wiTh The obiecT oT recovering The deTachmenT's viTaI records. PresenTly he sTaggered on deck again badly burnT all over, his cIoThing on Tire, buT carrying The records. I-le leaped overboard, and was never seen again. AbouT 9:00 p.m. ThaT evening we had a mild scare, Two planes wiTh running lighTs on Tlew low direcTly over The TIee+, and every American gun ThaT would bear opened Tire. IT was like a Tireworks dis- play, The golden Tracer Tire sTreaked Trom end To end along The line oT ships. One oT The planes crashed on Eord Island, and The oTher was shoT down iusT beyond aT Pearl CiTy, sTarTing a blaze ThaT was visible Trom all parTs oT The harbor. The Tollowing day iT was learned ThaT These planes were Trom The aircraTT carrier USS ENTERPRISE. During The resT oT The nighT noThing TurTher hap- pened, excepT ThaT all This Time The ARIZONA had been burning Tiercely, lighTing up The harbor Tor a greaT disTance, and much To our discomTiTure we were visible Tor miles round. She burned Tor Two days. Then Tollowedvseveral days oT Tidying up The ship, evacuaTing our wounded, burying The dead, and wriTing oT The reporTs. IT was very hard To know which oTTicers and men To recommend Tor special recogni- Tion when all had done so well. AT 3:30 p.m. on The 20Th oT December, The baTTle- ships PENNSYLVANIA, MARYLAND, and TENNES- SEE, accompanied by desTroyer escorT, leTT Pearl l-Iar- vor bound Tor The UniTed STaTes. I-Iardly had we puT To sea when our desTroyers reporTed submarine conTacT, and The baTTleships commenced To Zig-Zag as The desTroyers swepT over The area dropping depTh charges, buT noThing could be seen oT The resulT owing To our speed. AbouT This Time The TENNESSEE Touled some sub- merged obiecT which may have been a submarine. Eor one momenT The ship suddenly seemed To slow downq Then, giving a series OT shorT ierks, she wenT on again. We all remarked on iT'in The casemaTe, and The people sTaTioned below reporTed ThaT iT TelT like we rammed someThing below surTace. There Then sTarTed The long voyage home during which we had a number oT submarine scares, including The rumored sinking oT one submarine by a desTroyer abouT I2:00 midnighT on The 28Th oT December. Eor The resT, a condiTion oT alerTness, a bad sTorm, and Tinally The mainland. I On The 29Th oT December The TENNESSEE enTered The PugeT Sound Navy Yard aT BremerTon, WashingTon, Tor proper repairs and some sTrucTural alTeraTions. For eighT weeks hundreds oT workmen were employed aboard us, working day and nighT, and we leTT BremerTon on The 26Th oT Eebruary, I942, no worse Tor The BaTTle oT Pearl Harbor, buT insread a more eTTicienT ship Than we had been beTore The acTion. ff fagqw T Ffa?-2.

Under-SecreTary oT The Navy James ForresTaI and an impressive sTaTT oT Admirals represenTing six Navy bureaus came aboard shorTly before geTTing underway for The Marshalls. I-Ie announced ThaT he was here To observe, TirsT hand, whaT The men oT The Navy needed, whaT They had To say, and To learn whaT could be done To make Their work more eTFecTive. Since I9I4 The Japanese had held The Marshalls, 2,000 miles souThwesT oT Pearl I-Iarbor. Their deTenses had been planned and perTecTed in The greaTesT secrecy. Roi and Namur Islands, The TENNESSEE's TargeTs, were known To be inTesTed wiTh blockhouses, coasT deTense guns, ma- chine-gun emplacemenTs, and an inTricaTe sysTem oT Trenches.

ShorTIy aTTer nidnighT The Task Torce and The Trans- porTs carrying The 4Th Marine Division slipped Through The EasTern chain oT The Marshall Islands and approached Jap-held Kwaialein Trom The NorTheasT. The TransporTs moved To an area WesT oT The aToIl, while The baTTle- ships TENNESSEE and COLORADO, The cruisers MOBILE and LOUISVILLE, plus The desTroyers ANDERSON and MORRIS Took a posiTion To The EasT oT Kwaialein.

For The nexT Two hours The main and secondary baTTeries hammered away aT choice TargeTs on Namur Island. AT 0930 Troops swarmed ashore on The small islands ThaT Tlanked boTh Roi and Namur and seT up IighT arTilIery To help in The pounding oT The Two sTronghoIds oT The aTolI. A Tew minuTes oT The bombardmenT sTarTed one very large Tire on Namur.

ReTurning To The Tiring line, boTh The main and secondary baTTeries kepT up a conTinuous Tire The re- mainder oT The aTTernoon. SpoTTing planes reporTed ex- cellenT resulTs and TargeTs were swiTched rapidly as The islands oT Roi and Namur were sTripped oT deTensive posiTions by The TerriTic hail oT sTeeI. I-leavy Tire was mainTained unTil I700 when The ship moved away Trom The islands and ouT To sea Tor nighT cruising. Many Tires doTTed boTh islands and a heavy pall oT smoke driTTed wiTh The wind.

There was a rush Tor The showers and inTo The sack as G.O. would come early when The bombardmenT was resumed on Namur and The Troops poured ashore.

AbouT 0920 There was an explosion ThaT was so exTensive ThaT iT appeared ThaT a maior porTion oT The island had blown up. Topside observers who wiTnessed The explosion de- scribe iT as a vasT upheaval oT The enTire island and a cloud oT smoke and debris ThaT bIoTTed ouT The sun. A squadron oT planes Tlying above The cenTer oT The island were caughT by The TerriTic concussion. All oT The planes buT Two came TIuTTering ouT oT The sky like ducks sTruck by. a charge Trom a I2 gauge shoTgun.

Moving Through waTers more accusTomed To Jap- anese shipping Than The hulls oT American naval vessels. Task Torce 37 headed for Kavieng To enTerTain The Japs while Iv1acArThur's Torces slipped Through The backdoor To Take Emirau. Passing To The norTh of The Solomon Islands a heavy anTi-submarine paTrol was flown from The carriers MANILA BAY and NATOMA BAY. No conTacTs were reporTed and There was no enemy air acTiviTy encounTered by combaT air paTrols operaTing from The same carriers. The days passed quickly as scuTTlebuTT Tlew Thick and TasT as To whaT could be expecTed in The way oT opposi- Tion. IT was known from earlier carrier plane aTTacks ThaT The Japs had made heavy invesTmenTs in TorTiTicaTions. coasT defense guns oT unknown caliber, and a number oT anTi-aircraTT guns. Air aTTacks were probable, noT only Trom The highly improved airbase on Kavieng, buT Trom oTher Tields wiThin aTTack disTance. The Two carriers sTeaming along wiTh The aTTack group were a mighTy comTorTing sighT when ThoughTs sTrayed To The probabiliTy oT The Nips sending ouT a welcoming commiTTee wiTh sTeel calling cards. Rain squalls, heavy clouds, and a ceiling oT less Than I,000 TeeT blankeTed Kavieng as men oT The TENNESSEE wenT To Their baTTIesTaTions aT 0600 The morning oT March 20. A zigzag course was Tollowed in approaching The island ThaT loomed Through The overcasT abouT 0700. SpoTTing planes were launched an hour laTer and They quickly disappeared in The rain. STeaming along aT I5 knoTs The main baTTery opened up aT a range oT I4,940 yards aT 0904, Tiring one. Two, and Three gun salvos aT a slow pace. Plane spoTTers were having diTTiculTy in observing shell bursTs and adiusTing Tire. And Then iT happened. CoasTal baTTeries had opened up on The TENNESSEE and lookouTs reporTed gun Tlashes Trom The beach and There were splashes iusT oTT The sTarboard bow and very close To The desTroyer iusT ahead. AT 0928 The enTire secondary baTTery on The porT side opened up wiTh rapid conTinuous Tire, all direcTed aT The spiTTing muzzles OT The guns on The beach. I ExecuTing a quick I80 degree Turn The sTarboard sec- ondary baTTery was broughT To bear and Took up The chal- lenge. The Nips were beginning To geT The range and There were splashes close aboard on The sTarboard beam. Splashes were also observed on The sTarboard beam oT The IDAI-IO. The speed was kicked up To I8 knoTs as shells plopped inTo The waTer abouT 35 yards ahead and abouT 200 yards OTT The sTarboard beam. AT 0934 The secondary baTTery checked Tire, having expended I78 rounds oT Tive-inch in eighT minuTes. Re- ducing The speed To I5 knoTs and coming back on The Tiring line, boTh The main and secondary baTTeries rea opened Tire on The coa'sT deTense guns aT a range OT I2,000 yards aT 0936. In The nexT IO minuTes The Tive-inch guns poured 2 I9 rounds on The beach and ThaT was The laSI' heard Trom Them. Though The TENNESSEE paraded back and TorTh in TronT oT Them The resT oT The morning, noT a sound was heard Trom The beach. Men aT Their baTTlesTaTions were Tense during The re- mainder oT The bombardment expecTing aT any momenT ThaT some weil hidden gun on The island would open up. The TENNESSEE made seven Tiring runs on Their secTor hammering warehouses, an airTield, a supply depoT, and oTher insTallaTions. OTher shore baTTeries were Tound buT were plasTered by The main baTTery beTore They ever Tired a round. 1 Plane spoTTers never obTained a clear view oT any oT The TargeTs because oT low-hanging clouds and rain.

A welcome voice over The loudspeaker aT I239 said Secure Trom baTTlesTaTions and The bombardmenT oT Kavieng was over. There were a number oT Tires burning on The island and smoke had reduced visibiliTy To zero. lr' iusT a liTTle over Three hours The main baTTery had pumped 252 shells inTo The island and The secondary baTTery had unloaded l 892.

This was To be The boIdesT sTrike To daTe--invasion OT The Marianas Islands OT Saipan, Guam and Tinian. Saipan and Tinian had long been under Japanese rule and allied inTeIIigence reporTs revealed The bases had been heavily TorTiTied wiTh pillboxes, gun empIacemenTs and oTher TorTiTicaTions. Guam, Tiny biT OT American soil in The broad PaciTic, had Tallen To The rampaging enemy in The early days OT The war and The Japanese had poured planes, Troops and heavy mounTain guns inTo island deTenses. This was To be a diTTerenT Type OT warTare Than had been seen on The specks OT sand which had already Tallen To The Americans. Here were expanses OT green Tields, mounTains and high rolling Terrain. JusT To The SOuTh OT Saipan, The TIaTTer Tinian plaTeau sprawled in The brilIianT sun. Guam, IargesT island yeT To be invaded in The CenTraI PaciTic, was desTined To be The scene OT biTTer mounTain TighTing. The TENNESSEE and oTher ships in The TasT growing American PaciTic FleeT slipped ouT OT Roi anchorage early in The morning OT June TO. Serving as The Tlagship OT Rear Admiral Howard E. Kingman, The TENNESSEE was accompanied by The baTTleship CALIFORNIA, The cruiser BIRMINGHAM and The desTroyers REMEY, NORMAN SCOTT, MERTZ and WADLEIGH. Ships in anoTher group were under The command OT Rear Admiral Jesse B. OIdendorT in The LOUISVILLE. Several aircraTT carriers, TransporTs and oTher ships ec- companied The groups. Hundreds OT pre-invasion sorTies againsT The Marianas, as well as Chichi Jima, Haha Jima, Yep and Palau had been Tlown Trom The decks OT TasT-sTriking new aircraTT carriers, soTTening The islands Tor The com- ing invasions. The approach To Saipan was unevenTTuI unTiI The group approached wiThin abouT 200 miles OT The obiec- Tive, when enemy acTiviTy became apparenT. Early in The morning OT June I3, a paTroI plane spoTTed a surTaced Japanese submarine abouT 20 miles ahead OT The Torce and dropped bombs wiThouT resuITs. AnoTher plane, paTroIling Tar ouT To sea, shoT down a Japanese BeTTy which had been Trailing The group abouT I0 miles asTern. FasT desTroyers dropped depTh charges as an enemy sub was conTacTed OTT The porT beam. The new baTTIeship Torce as well as carriers bombarded Saipan and Tinian on June I3. Men on The TENNESSEE heard The reporTs Over The ship's loud speaker sysTem, Tuned in on The observer's plane radio.

An air sfrike from carrier-based planes drew scaTTered ack-ack Trom The beach aT 0730. Angry liTTle planes dove again and again aT The island, Then TransTerred Their aTTenTion To nearby Tinian, buT in a Tew minuTes reTurned To Saipan.

An underwaTer demoliTion Team in Tour small boaTs slowly approached The reef To carry ouT Their dangerous assignmenf. Fires from large oil dumps raged on The island and following each salvo Trom The TENNESSEEls big guns, new Tires were sTarTed, The oil having been Thrown over a wide area. The enemy, however, began To unlimber Their shore baTTeries. Japanese shells dropped in The immediaTe viciniTy of The BIRMINGHAM and lNDlANAPOl.lS. Ma- chine guns, seT up in beached Japanese small boaTs, raked The demoliTion Team and Tor a Time iT was impossible To waTch The proceedings on The beach due To smoke. Heavy morTar Tire from The beach endangered The courageous demoliTion Team making reconnaissance under The very guns oT The enemy. The TENNESSEE dropped a smoke screen abouT IOO yards inland To screen The acTiviTies of The Team Trom The enemy. The baTTery which had been harassing The Team near The reeT was locaTed by TENNESSEE observers and a barrage 'from The Big T desTroyed The baTTery, Throwing dirT and machinery high in The air. WiTh hardly a pause, The main baTTery swiTched To nearby Tinian, silencing a baTTery which had been Tiring on The American Task Force wiTh greaT regulariTy. y An air sTrike again raked Saipan and aT H40 beach baTTeries hiT The CAUFORNIA, Tearing away parT oT The supersTrucTure. The baTTery was well COHC96leCl and ob- servers Tailed To locaTe iT. Shells splashed near The TENNESSEE as The big guns again Trained on a con- cenTraTion oT Japanese Troops on The shore. The TENNESSEE conTinued To roam The area, seeking TargeTs and desTroying Them wiTh regulariTy. Saipan was again under a severe air aTTack aT l5l5, This Time The planes concenTraTing on an unpainTed sugar mill. , Dingy Japanese boaTs near The pier drew The aTTen- Tion oT The TENNESSEE and several were hiT, one sink- ing in The shallow waTer. Fire was diverTed To a block- house, aTTer which The guns swung back To The boaTs To Tinish The Task. They burned Tiercely againsT The pier. DirecT hiTs were also scored againsT Japanese barges in The area. The Tiring compleTed Tor The day, The TENNESSEE and The oTher ships leTT The area abouT l830 To reTurn The Tollowing morning, designaTed as D-Day. The ship was again called To General QuarTers aT 0430, 25,000 yards Trom Saipan. H-l-Tour, when The beaches would be Torced, was seT Tor 0800, laTer delayed unTil 0830. The I4-inch guns opened early and soon The TargeTs were obscured by The curling smoke. STraTing planes came in Time aTTer Time wiTh sTrikes againsT boTh Saipan and Tinian. Small Tire splashed OTT The sTarboard beam. l-l-T-Tour was delayed unTil 0840. PrompTly aT 08I5 The TirsT wave oT invasion boaTs began Their precarious Trip To The beach. A Triendly plane, hiT by ack-ack over Tinian, plunged To The earTh. Two parachuTes TluTTering open and slowly descended To The island. The TirsT invasion wave was making progress Toward The beach. Small calibre Tire splashed nearby. Under cover oT heavy smoke, The Troops sTormed The beach, Taking cover behind anyThing available. AT 09l4, The TENNESSEE received her TTrsT baTTle damage since The aTTack on Pearl Harbor when Three six- inch proiecTiles Trom a Japanese shore baTTery on Tinian Thudded inTo The ship simulTaneously, killing eighT men while wounding 26. l Q W -keg, 6' as .0 gli Q il Q fo 0 0 CJ .1 Sieli f 7m7- XXV ' X df!

Solid sheeTs oT Tlame leaped ouT oT The column as The warships along The line hurled Their salvos Through The PaciTic nighT Toward The Japa- nese FIeeT in Surigao STraiT. When a ship Tired There would be a TerriTic whirling sheeT oT golden Tlame boITing across The sea Tollowed by a massive Thunder and Then Three red balls would go inTo The sky up arch-over and Then down. When The salvos Tound The TargeT There would be a huge shower oT sparks and aTTer a momenT a dull orange glow would appear This glow would increase brighTen and Then slowly dull. The noise oT Tiring became like The roll oT conTinuous Thunder, as salvo aTTer salvo rolled ouT along The line, and The sky was praCTically conTinuously sTreaked wiTh red projecTiles. This Tire was very accuraTeg indeed, so accu- raTe ThaT a veriTabIe hail oT heavy proiecTiles was raining down on The leading group oT enemy ships. By This Time The enemy ships were slowed down To abouT Twelve knoTs, and sTarTed To reverse course. Unable To Turn simulTaneously, each Japanese warship Turned on in deTending LeyTe GuIT. His Task had been To prevenT The Japanese FIeeT Trom slipping inTo The GuIT Through reaching a cerTain poinT in The sTraiT. Our ships were Tiring on This Turning poinT, and as each Jap ship came To This spoT our salvos would score hiT aTTer hiT. From a disTance oT Twelve miles iT was impossible To make anyThing deTiniTe ouT in The enemy TleeT. Now and Then The dim Torm oT a Japanese ship would be ouTlined by a sheeT oT Tlame. One big explosion siIhoueTTed The sTack and pagoda masT oT a baTTleship oT The Fuso class. The American warships mercilessly smoThered The Jap Ships under a hail oT sTeel.

L No single baTTleship suTTered any damage Trorn The Japanese gunTire, aIThough enemy salvo splashes were observed shorT oT The BaTTle Line. The enemy's Tire was sporadic and erraTic. Our Torces did noT come Through The acTion unscaThed, however. The desTroyer A. J. GRANT was hiT and heavily damaged during a Torpedo run, while The cruisers were repeaTedly sTraddIed. In The background Tlames rose Trom The shaTTered hull oT a burning Japanese ship. This vessel was in sighT Tor a spell and Then disappeared beneaTh The surTace. As daylighT broadened, columns oT black smoke Trorn oTher burning ships were made ouT on The horizon To The souTh. Rear Admiral OIdendorT had done a workmanlike job Surigao STraiT and desTroying General MacArThur's Trans- por'Ts and supply ships.

The crushing weighT oT The American Tire had sTopped The Japanese Task Torce and Torced Them To reTreaT, badly damaged and crippled. The Two baTTleships, FUSO and YAMASI-IIRO, Two cruisers, and Two desTroyers were sunli- Our cruisers and desTroyers pursued The Tleeing enemy souTh To The end of The sTraiT. AT dawn The remnanTs oT The enemy TIeeT was Taken under aTTack by carrier GIFCVGTT- And so ended The BahTle oT Surigao STraiT. There is. oT course, a TurTher chapTer in The BaTTIe Tor LeyTe SUIT.

EnrouTe The enemy Torce came inTo conTacT aT dawn wiTh an escorT carrier group oT The SevenTh FIeeT em- ployed on anTi-submarine duTy oTT Samar Island, roughly sevenTy miles To The norThwesTward oT LeyTe. The appear- ance oT The Japanese warships was a cornpIeTe surprise To These liTTle escorT carriers. Then Tor abouT Two and a haIT hours, The SevenTh FIeeT's escorT carrier group, comprised oT six escorT car- riers, Three desTroyers, and Tour desTroyer escorTs came under heavy TTre Trom Japanese baTTleships and cruisers. During The engagemenT Two escorT carriers, Two desTroy- ers, and one desTroyer escorT were sunk. This was a preTTy siTuaTion. The SevenTh FIeeT was in Surigao STraiT and low on ammuniTion: The Third FIeeT was engaging an enemy carrier Torce oTT Luzong and The main body oT The Japanese FleeT was aT hand and kicking hell ouT oT a group oT liTTle escorT carriers on The doorsTep oT LeyTe Gulf. The TaTe of The Philippines hung in The balance. For The second Time in as many days Vice Admiral Kinkaid direcTed Rear Admiral OIdendorT To prepare To defend LeyTe GulT, and Tor ThaT purpose assigned To him The Three baTTleships TENNESSEE, CALIFORNIA PENNSYLVANIA: and The cruisers LOUISVILLE PORTLAND, IVIINNEAPOLIS, NASHVILLE and I-l.IvI.A.S SI-IROPSI-TIRE, plus desTroyers. WiTh orders To block The norThern enTrance To LeyTe GUIT, This Task Torce goT under- way and proceeded To paTroI ThaT area. The movemenT was observed by Japanese planes which Tagged The Tor- maTion.

DespiTe This raging Tire amidships, The cruiser was hoTly engaging enemy shore baTTeries wiTh her Tore and aTT TurreTs. JusT aTTer This inTerlude an incidenT occurred which will probably always be remembered as The cenTral evenT oT The whole day. A procession oT gunboaTs. and a num- ber oT small craTT, preceded by minesweepers, moved slowly wiTh care very close To The beaches on The souTh- easT coasT. Their mission was To reconnoiTer and eliminaTe obsTacles ThaT mighT impede The landing OT The assaulT Troops. As The vessels probed The island aT close guarTers The Japanese shore baTTeries suddenly opened up aT almosT poinT blank range and They Tound Themselves under a violenT and accuraTe Tire.

Again The TENNESSEE's main baTTery was broughT To bear on The norTheasTern slopes oT MT.

Several large and small Tires were sTarTed ashore. There was a specTacular explosion when hiTs were regis- Tered on a large ammuniTion dump which wenT up wiTh a cascade oT sparks and burned radianTly wiTh inTermiTTenT explosions Tor several hours. The easTern side oT The air- Tield was liTTered wiTh wrecked Jap planes and looked like a junk yard.

AT daybreak The TransporTs halfed abouT eighT miles oTTshore and puT Their l-liggins boaTs in The waTer. Then The Troops were senT over The side inTo The boaTs and The landing boaTs circled again and again near The TransporTs, waiTing Tor The signal To make The run Tor The line oT deparTure. The Tank landing ships deTached Themselves Trom The TransporTs and moved abouT Three miles Trom The shore where They opened Their wide bows and disgorged a hosT oT amphibious landing vehicles carrying The assaulT Troops. Meanwhile, along wiTh oTher baTTleships, cruisers and desTroyers, The TENNESSEE had Taken up her posiTion several Thousand yards oTTshore To deliver The preparaTory bombardmenT Tor The landing. The bombardmenT com- menced aT abouT 0645, and Tollowed a Tamiliar paTTern. STarTing along The beaches The big guns ranged Tar and wide pouring shells inTo The slopes and heighTs which presumably concealed emplacemenTs. For more Than hours The landing area Took an awTul going over. FighTer planes and bombers ioined in The aTTack. While The bombardmenT was aT iTs peak, The leading wave oT amphibious vehicles had Taken sTaTion abouT 200 yards To The seaward oT The warships. Behind Them The resT oT The amphibious vehicles Tollowed by The l-liggins boaTs proceeded To Torm in parallel lines. ln The van was an escorT vessel which direcTed The movemenT by means oT a loud-speaker. The speaker blared, ATTenTion, TEN- NESSEE. You are on The line OT deparTure. The ship aT This Time was lying broadside To The island, her sTarboard side engaged. An unoTTicial voice TloaTed across Trom our quarTer-deck, WhaT do you expecT us To do, push This big Tub sideways? AbouT 0835 The TirsT wave oT amphibious vehicles shoved oTT on Their long Trip To The beach. The resT oT The assaulT waves Tollowed in lines, Timed down To The second. Every warship on The bombardmenT line increased The Tempo oT Their shelling and bombers dropped load aTTer load oT high explosives on enemy prepared posiTions Tac- ing The beach. The noise was incredible. AT The same Time a dozen gunboaTs moved in To Tire numerous salvos oT rockeTs inTo sTrong-poinTs aT very close range. Then TasT planes laid a smokescreen behind The beach To block oTT The Japs' view. Very soon The shore line and whole side oT MT. Suribachi were compleTely obscured by Tlames and smoke. The TENNESSEE was sTaTioned on The leTT Tlank oT The bombardmenT line, direcTly opposiTe MT.

Never beTore had such a massive TleeT been concenTraTed3 warships, supply, hospiTal, Tankers, and hundreds oT oTher Types swung aT The hook waiTing Tor The word ThaT would sTarT Them on Their way To Okinawa. Before The TleeT moved ouT oT The lagoon, mosT men knew The desTinaTion. They did noT know whaT mighT be encounTered buT one peek aT a map was convincing evi- dence ThaT anyThing could happen. As one man puT iT, You don'T walk inTo The Jap's backyard wiThouT him doing someThing abouT iT. Any way iT was measured, Okinawa was only 350 miles Trom The Japanese home island oT Kyushu. While reporTers in The Torward areas knew The sTory, censorship resTricTions had prevenTed any menTion oT The suicidal TacTics ThaT The Japanese had adopTed. Kami- kaze piloTs had appeared in The Philippines and since Then They had developed Their Technique and enThusiasm. Every man aboard The TENNESSEE realized ThaT The Okinawa operaTion was TraughT wiTh hazards greaTer Than had been encounTered in any previous invasion. Vice Admiral Jesse B. OldendorT, masTer sTraTegisT oT The vicTory aT Surigao STraiT, raised his Tlag on The TENNESSEE on March IO, l945. ThaT same day he was iniured when his barge sTruck a buoy, iniuring him and his chieT oT sTaTT To an exTenT requiring hospiTaliza+iOn, The admiral was Tlown To Guam buT his sTaTT sTayed aboard This ship. Replacing OldendorT was Rear Admiral M. L. Deyo who assumed Temporary command oT BaTTleship Squadron One and Task Force 54. l-le raised his Tlag on This ship March I5 and wiThin a Tew days The mighTy Torces were underway Tor The Ryukus, Okinawa in parTicular. The Ten old baTTleships, nine cruisers, and numerous desTroyers oT The Task Torce were loaded wiTh cargos oT sTeel To be served red hoT To The Japanese. Though The Torce was impressive, iT was only a small uniT oT The i200 ships ThaT were converging on The TargeT. lvlinesweeps had gone ahead OT The Task group and had opened a narrow channel leading pasT Kerama ReTTo. The TENNESSEE sTeamed ahead slowly, Zebra seT, and all men aT baTTle sTaTions. Kerama was quieT, no Tires burn- ing, Though iT had received a heavy bombardmenT The day beTore.

Now and Then There was a TerriTic explosion and guns of The sweeps exploded mines. Every sTaTion was on The alerT Tor air and submarine aTTacks, radar reporTs oT bogeys and snoopers TilTering in. ShorTly aTTer noon, March 26, The area was suTTi- cienTly cleared Tor The TENNESSEE To move inTo Tiring posiTion. Opening up aT a range oT I7,875 yards wiTh The main baTTery, The shells blasTed inTo an anTi-aircraTT baTTery ThaT had been heckling The spoTTing planes. No more was heard or seen oT The emplacemenT.

ReTurning Trom nighT cruising The morning oT March 27, seven suicide planes picked The TENNESSEE QVOUP as Their TargeT. There had been snooper planes arOUf1CI mosT oT The nighT, none oT Them coming ne n Tion To aTTack, buT They musT have inviTed Their Kamikaze Triends. The planes circled The TormaTion, Taking Thelf Time in sizing up The siTuaTion and selecTing a 'TargeT. AT 06I5, iusT in The TwiIighT area beTween daybreals and sun-up, The TENNESSEE opened up wiTh The secondary baTTery and was quickly ioined by oTher ships in The TormaTion. Four planes were quickly shoT down, buT Three oThers goT inside The TormaTion, one crashing The NE- VADA, iusT oTT The beam To sTarboard. The DORSEY was hiT by a diving plane and The BILOXI suTTered damage Trom a near miss. The Three planes which crashed The ships were all smoking beTore They hiT. ar The Torma- In many ways This aTTack was Typical oT The hundreds ThaT The TanaTical Japanese carried ouT againsT The aT- Tacking American Torces in The Okinawa area. OTher raids were larger, some smaller, and oTTen single planes came screaming ouT of nowhere To crash inTo a ship. Daybreak and evening TwilighT were TavoriTe Times Tor suiciders ThaT resorTed To every decepTion To approach The ships wiThouT deTecTion. During The days prior To The landings on Okinawa, planes operaTed Trom airTields on The island and oTher nearby insTallaTions. When The enemy was Tinally driven Trom use oT The Okinawa air- Tields They sTarTed coming in Trom as Tar as Formosa and The home island oT Kyushu. Day aTTer day, beTore The landings on April I, EasTer Sunday, The TENNESSEE cruised along The coasT, pre- paring The way Tor marines and soldiers, covering under- waTer demoliTion Teams, Throwing sTeeI inTo every ThickeT and clump oT bushes ThaT mighT hide a Jap insTallaTion. ReporTs poured in oT suicide plane aTTacks, parTicuIarIy on single ouTIying ships on pickeT duTy. Submarines, midgeT subs, suicide boaTs, suicide swimmers, and The new bake bomb sTabbed aT The American ships. There were long hours aT baTTle sTaTions Tor all hands and The signs oT sTrain and weariness showed plainly on Their Taces. The day oT The landing was made To order, brilIianT sunshine, no misT or haze, and a soTT, warm spring breeze blowing genTIy Trom The green hills oT Okinawa. There was a TerriTic pre-landing bombardmenT ThaT IiTTed as The Troops hiT The beach. In The area prepared by The TENNESSEE There was no opposiTion. In oTher areas There was only sporadic reTurn Tire Trom small arms or morTars. AT The Time iT seemed unbelievable ThaT The Troops were on The beach wiTh so IiTTIe opposiTion. Many an Qld campaigner on The TENNESSEE immediaTely guessed Jfhaf The Jap had a Trick up his sleeve, and IaTer evenTs proved him correcT. The enemy had reTired To The souTh, massing Torces in advanTageous prepared posiTions. IT was To Take many weeks, and many lives, To drive The Japanese Trom These posiTions and To clear The island. '-, By nighTTaII oT D-Day more Than 65,000 Troops had landed and supplies were pouring ashore in The greaTesT T amphibious operaTion in The PaciTic. The immediafe obiecTives, YonTan and Kadena airTieIds had been secured and seabees were already on The scene wiTh bulldozers and oTher heavy equipmenT, rushing repairs To make The Tields ready To receive American TighTer planes. I Days Tollowing The landings developed a sameness, Tar Trom boredom, buT Tilled wiTh The sTrain oT long hours aT The guns, There were bombings and Torpedo aTTacks on boTh by day and aT nighT, occasionally briIIianT Tlares being dropped. IT was apparenT ThaT The enemy had designaTed The Kamikaze Corps oT Suicide PiIoTs To de- liver his mosT Telling blows wiTh Their one-way ramming TacTics. In The Tive weeks Tollowing The landings There were more Than 500 air raids by 2,200 planes. AmmuniTion was nearly depleTed and The TENNES- SEE puT inTo The Kerama ReTTo anchorage April 7 To rearm and Take on supplies. In The Tew days since The group oT islands had been secured, supply organizaTion had been perTecTed, a seaplane base was in Tull operaTion, and Kerama was a haven Tor suicide damaged ships. The busTIing harbor, wiTh all acTiviTies aTloaT, could provide all needs oT The TIeeT excepT Tor maior repairs. While in The anchorage reporTs sTarTed coming in oT an approaching enemy surTace Torce consisTing oT The baTTleship YAMATO, one or Two cruisers, and abouT eighT desTroyers. I-lurriedly compleTing rearming acTiviTies, The TENNESSEE reioined Task Force 54 and Tormed in baTTle line To meeT The approaching Torce. ThroughouT The aTTer- noon The Torce sTeamed back and TorTh as TurTher con- TacTs were reporTed wiTh The enemy, operaTing aT a speed ThaT would bring Them To The Okinawa area around mid- nighT. The old baTTIeships, TENNESSEE, IDAI-IO, NEW MEXICO, WEST VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, and COLO- RADO were headed Tor acTion. While waiTing Tor The enemy To approach The area. a single bogey was reporTed and he headed sTraighT TOT The TormaTion.

Vice Admiral Oldendorf relieved Rear Admiral Deyo as commander Baffleship Squadron I. AT ll0O The BIR- MINGHAM was broughT alongside The TENNESSEE and Rear Admiral Deyo shifTed his flag To her. On May 3 all hands were glad To see Ckinawa fade inTo The haze asTern. The men were Tired, dog Tired, nerves had been sTreTched To The limiT, yeT They had ToughT Their ship To The limiT in a manner ThaT reflecTed nofhing buf crediT To The enTire crew. The TENNESSEE wenT alongside The repair ship AJAX and a swarm of Technicians sTarTed work. Cuffing Torches flared and sparks flew as benT and Twisfed sfeel plaTes were cuT away, new guns insfalled, and new gun buckeTs consTrucTed.

Vice Admiral Oldendorf was soon made commander of all naval forces in The Ryukus, and as his flagship The TENNESSEE played an imporTanT parT in operaTions in The EasT China Sea. During July a Task group under his command covered minesweeping operaTions in The EasT China Sea, and hunTed enemy shipping beTween Shanghai and The home islands of Japan. The rouTe was eTfecTively blockaded, and several enemy planes were de- sfroyed by fighTers operaTing from The carriers of The formaTion. UnTil The end of The war The TENNESSEE prowled The EasT China Sea, long weeks of keeping a careful lookouT for snoopers and shipping aTTempTs To run The sea and air blockade. STrikes were made from escorf carriers aT enemy insTallaTions near The China coasT. Enemy mines infesfed The area and many of Them were exploded by desTroyers screening The Tormafion. AT war's end The TENNESSEE was operaTing from Buckner Bay, named for The gallanT General who losT his life in The closing days of The campaign. PreparaTions for furTher operaTions were being made when The T'irsT news of The Japanese offer To surrender arrived. ln a few days IT was deTiniTe ThaT The war was won, ln The Norfh, Cenfral, and SouTh Pacific, firing from Pearl Harbor To The final vicTory of Okinawa, The TENNESSEE had foughT her way To a brillianT record.

The occasion was The iniTial landing oT The American Army oT OccupaTion aT Wakanoura which operaTion was supporTed by uniTs oT Task Force 5l under Vice Admiral Jesse B. OldendorT, who Tlew his Tlag on The USS TEN- NESSEE, commanded by CapTain T-larley F. Cope, USN. Accompanied by an inTerpreTer and a naTive guide, The reconnaissance parTy deparTed Trom The beach and Tollowed a narrow road winding over The high wooded hill To norTh oT Town and Then dropped down inTo a culTivaTed valley where peasanTs were aT work on Their small irrigaTed Tarms. ATTer passing Throuoh several hamlers The road ran easTward pasT The Japanese mili- Tary barracks and enTered Wakayama. The Marines marched up The main sTreeT To Their desTinaTion-Aa hill siTuaTed in The cenTer oT Town. On The summiT oT This hill lay The ruins of an ancienT casTle builT some Tour hundred years ago by one ToTogawaieasu who deThroned The Emperor and ruled Japan aT ThaT Time. RuinaTion oT The casTle daTed July, l945, when American B-29's bombed neighboring in- dusTrial TargeTs. Today The indusTrial area is The scene oT demolished buildings and rubbish piles. According To Mr. Shinohara, The guide. abouT 2,200 people were killed during The bombing raids on Vifakayama. Among oTher Things, The reconnaissance was made Tor The purpose oT Teeling ouT The reacTions oT The people. This small group oT Marines was perhaps The TirsT enemy soldiers in 'T The posiTion oT invaders 'J To march To Wakayama. AnyThing mighT happen. Following are a Tew observaTions oT inTeresT noTed during The reconnaissance When we landed on The beach aT Wakanoura ThaT morning There were a Tew Japanese huddled OTT To one side oT The sTreeT. They iusT sTared in silence. All The sTores and shops in Town appeared To be vacanT. No- where was any merchandise To be seen. Save Tor a small number oT children and old Tolks The inhabiTanTs had wiThclrawn To Their homes To peek Trom behind closed shuTTers. Likewise in Wakayama, The shops were devoid oT ware. The Marine reconnaissance parTy aTTracTed liTTle aTTenTion. lT mighT be said ThaT our presence was ignored. The people simply wenT abouT Their aTTairs as usual. One incidenT, however, bears menTion. When The paTrol was passing a parTicularly large building one oT The Marines queried as To iTs use. A young Jap who was sTanding on The sidewalk nearby said in very clear English, ThaT is a deparTmenT sTore. Nearly every Japanese male beTween The ages OT sixTeen and sixTy years old wore a uniTorm or some arTicle ThereoT. The old women dressed in naTive cosTume while many oT The young girls were cloThed in American sTyle. The principal vehicle is The bicycle. Ox carTs are used Tor heavy hauls and by The Tarmers. The Tew auTomobiles in evidence were Tor The mosT parT in hands oT The Jap- anese miliTary. lncidenTally, The auTomobiles used char- coal Tor Tuel. There is a modern Trolley line in Wakayama which exTends To Wakanoura, a disTance oT abouT Tour miles. The sTreeT cars were well paTronized. Japanese homes, parTicularly Those in The ciTy, were mosT disappoinTing. One would expecT To Tind Them pic- Turesguely surrounded by a garden. lnsTead The houses are crowded close TogeTher and buried behind high walls wiTh no spacious gardens. And every building in The area is badly in need oT a painT job, EducaTion is a deTail ThaT The Japanese have noT neglecTed. There are many schools and mosT oT Them have adioining playgrounds Tor The children. In approaching one schoolhouse The reconnaissance paTrol was spoTTed by a pupil and almosT insTanTly every window on ThaT side oT The building was crowded wiTh children calling ouT Hello in parroT-like Tashion. ForesighT by Their Teacher. tokyo tourists A young couple coming down the road turnished the patrol with their tirst glimpse ot Japanese lite. The woman, a dainty little creature, was bent over carrying an enormous load ot tirewood on her back while the man, presumably the husband, was walking erect and empty handed. As a matter ot tact the man was carrying a twig but upon seeing the Marines he added it to the wood pile on his wite's back. Smiling all the while, the couple passed on. At trequent intervals along the roadside there are shrines or holy places. On the outskirts ot Wakanoura the patrol visited a Japanese temple located on top ot a high hill, access to which was gained by climbing a long flight ot stone steps. A priest and two girls were in at- tendance. One ot the girls presented the patrol with some pictures ot the temple and in return she was given a bar ot soap. Money is practically worthless in this area. Neither American nor Japanese currency has any business value. Transactions are consummated by the barter system. The Americans exchange cigarettes, soap and sugar tor Jap- anese labor, wares or goods. For his services, our guide gladly accepted several packages ot cigarettes and con-- sidered himselt well compensated. The reconnaissance party returned to the beach at Wakanoura over a ditterent route than the one taken going out. The march covered about titteen miles and required approximately tive hours. In this short period ot time the patrol had gathered sutticient intormation to make a tairly comprehensive report and plot the data on a map. Following liberty in Wakanoura tor practically every- one, word was passed on the night ot October I that early the tollowing morning the TENNESSEE and its com- panions would get underway tor the tinal obiective- Tokyo. Anchoring in Tokyo Bay, near the tormer great naval base ot Yokosuka, men ot the TENNESSEE viewed the v remnants ot the Japanese Fleet, the NAGATO. The bat- tlewagon had been caught during an aerial attack by American bombers and although it was still atloat, it was in no condition to wage wartare. lt was manned by an American prize crew. Admiral Oldendort was still aboard the TENNESSEE and arrangements were made tor all hands to spend a liberty in the Japanese capital. Rain squalls blanketed the shoreline and obscured distant Euiiyama as smaller cratt carried men ot the TEN- NESSEE up the long bay to the Tokyo landing. The bombed and silent streets ot Tokyo regained some ot its tormer lite as otticers and men ot the TEN- NESSEE swarmed ashore. This was not the village scene observed at Wakanoura but one ot the world's great cities. Ginza, Broadway ot Japan, glistened in the rain as American sailors, hunched in black raincoats over dripping whites, hurried down its length. Desolate piles ot rubble showed where tire bombs trom B-29fs had done their work. Land-hungry Japanese had converted tiny plots ot ground along the tamous street into gardens. Tiny shoots sprouted through the rain-soaked soil. The odor ot night- soil tilled the damp and heavy air. Practically untouched were the Emperor's Palace and adjoining grounds, around which the devastation ot war had swirled. An occasional building, sturdier than the rest, had withstood the rain ot tire trom above and still stood almost untouched. Beneath the streets subway trains roared through the darkness, tilled with the silent people ot a deteated nation. The Imperial l-lotel, showplace ot the Orient, still re- mained intact. So too, was the American Embassy. That October day in Tokyo, Japan was a beaten nation. Years ot want and suttering, privation and penance still lie ahead betore it can again regain its tormer place in the society ot nations. The Rising Sun will rise no longer. gg ll f I if J 5 B- ' Q W S 'T-' X 715 f P ff? ? ,.. 2 MX ,wr X JM RW 1'-ff' , LH fff M A, f R - , I b Z all ' I 5110 ,4- f fi ' -i. . , x k r X ' fl .

Emerging Trom The hawse pipe, clad in Torn dun- garees, a red bandana abouT his head and a blaclc paTch covering his eye, Jones sTood on The TorecasTIe and hailed The bridge, crying Ship ahoy, and N1VhaT ship? The venerable sea characTer was inTormed by The oTTicer oT The deck ThaT he was now aboard The USS TENNESSEE, veTeran oT acTion in The PaciTic Trom The shrouded AIeuTians To The muddy beaches oT Qlcinawa. Very well, sir, said Jones. I have been awaiTing your arrival. You will noTiTy The commanding oTTicer ThaT I, Davey Jones, have a message To deliver Trom his Royal I-Iighness, NepTunus Rex. S as Eollowing a hurried consuITaTion, during which Time Jones nervously paced The deck, The oTTicer oT The declc inTormed The Tamous visiTor ThaT The commanding oTTicer, CapTain I-Iarley E.

The capTain acknowledged ThaT iT was and recalled he was on The cruiser USS BIRMINGHAM aT The Time.

Tis as is polliwogs, lowly land creaTures who were noT fiT To enfer The domain of NepTune wiThouT firsf undergoing a severe iniTiaTion. He ordered The scribes To compile a lisT of all The landlubbers on board ThaT They mighf be summoned before The courT on The following day and be properly punished for Their pasT misdemeanors. All landlubbers, Jones said, musT be made To an- swer for Their individual crimes before The courT. A de- Tailed lisT is being prepared and The almosT 600 polliwogs now on The ship musT answer Their subpoenas which will be served upon Them. ln The meanfime, iT is fiTTing and proper ThaT pre-punishmenT be sTarTed Tonighf on These lowly creaTures. AfTer muTTering of The dire happenings which would occur when l-Tis Maiesfy would board The ship on Sunday, Jones haughTily lefT The ship as he had boarded iT and was losT from sighT. Punishmenf of The polliwogs 'began ThaT nighT. Offi- cers, never having crossed The Equafor, made poinTs wiTh The chiefs when They served as mess boys in The CPO mess. Sick bay aTTendanTs prowled The ship, sTeThoscope in hand, seelcing bad planlcs in The declc. ScanTily clad polliwogs roamed Through The ship ThaT nighT To The ieers of Their shellbaclc companions. The Jolly Roger, ancienT slcull and crossbones symbol of piraTe crafT was run up The foremasf of The TENNESSEE The nexT morning aT 0945 when The ship was boarded and Talcen over by l-lis lvlaiesfy, Nepfunus Rex, ruler of all The seas, inTo whose domain The veferan baTTle- wagon had dared To venTure. Accompanying Nepfune was The sTaTely Royal Queen: The soiled and spoiled Royal Baby: a vindicfive Royal Prosecufor: The hearfless Royal Judge: Two Scribes, busily engaged in compiling The names of all Polliwogsi The leering Royal DocTor and Royal DenTisT, heavy-handed . fjfg .4 . .gi fv f':'?i1 , , f5:afi2. 3'-1 ' giii.. -up N -.41 ROY5l Bfifbers: The Royal Jesferi Royal Navigafor: and Royal Gaoler: Davy Jones, who had been aboard The previous day: The elusive Sea l-lag: a fumbling Defense Counselor: The Devil, compleTe wiTh flowing red Tail: The Royal Bears and Royal Police. The parTy was escorfed To a previously arranged plaTform on The forecasTle, where The courT was convened wiTh The judge and king paTienTly hearing The long lisT of charges againsT The luclcless polliwogs. A ieering crowd of shellbaclcs crowded The forecasfle and demanded pun- ishmenT for Them. JusTice was swifT as Tremulous polliwogs were lashed and beaTen To The wiTness sfand and sTood in royal awe before The mighfy ruler of The sea. The charges againsT The polliwogs were varied in naTure and ran all The way from aniEnsign impersonafing a seagoing man To The more serious charges such as a sailor geTTing in 26 hours of saclc duTy in 24 hours. SuiTable punishmenf was inflicfed on all and The Royal Baby, garbed in a royally soiled diaper, received much aTTenTion from Time To Time as paciTying gesfures were implanTed on various parfs of his anaTomy by The con- vicTed landlubbers. OTher punishmenTs included visiTs To The Royal Doc- Tor and DenTisTg a visiT To The sardonic Royal Barbers: The sfockadeg and finally a Trip To The duclcing Tanlc where The Royal Bears playfully mauled all polliwogs before They were allowed To emerge from The Tanlc, dripping weT, and forced To crawl beTween long lines of deTermined shellbaclcs and receive Their lashings. More Than Two hours were required for The cases of all Those charged To be heard and for The punishmenf To be inflicTed. l-lowever, The TENNESSEE Then boasfed of a crew of full-fledged shellbaclcs, worfhy ciTizens of The realm of NepTunus Rex.
