Show EDWI CANNO "NED' WI D R R 22 20 1 [turn off tape] NED: Swimming. Worry about the sharks. BEC: Yeah. NED: And worrying about the ship exploding and a lot of other things. And w were in the water for about an hour-and-a-half and watching the ship and things had quieted down. The Navy had a lot of repair tugs out from the perimeter of where we, from Kerama Retto and one had been radioed to come. Our ship was listing badly. And they came and started picking us up in the water. And then another repair ship came and they got on board and started draining the water, you know, that had come in, trying to keep the ship afloat, which they did. And it later was towed back into port. And then later it was damaged so badly that they thought they could repair it, and so it was towed back to Hunter's Point in San Francisco for repairs. And about that time the war had ended, so they never did repair it. BEC: Oh. NED: But that-then we were assigned to other ships. I was put on a big general communications ship that was, it was there in Okinawa. Most of them were assigned to other, different places. And in towing that, our ship back, they were in typhoons and they had the line part a number of times and it was quite scary. BEC: Oh, really. NED: But there were very few people on board then, but that was evidently quite scary. And then we were on a ship that went into Nagasaki, hauling Marines. That was where the second atomic bomb had been dropped on Japan. You know, Hiroshima was the first and Nagasaki came right after. Then not long after that, then the Japanese surrendered. And I mustered out. 33 |
