| Abstract |
Young (b. 1923) grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, and joined the Navy in March 1943. After training at Farragut, Idaho, and Camp Pickett, Virginia, he attended radio school and was assigned to Company 172-43, 2nd Regiment, 5th Battalion, U.S. Naval Training Station. He spent much of his duty time on a PC craft, which was 169 feet long and had about seventy on board. These small boats would take care of all radio-to-shore, radio-to-air, and radio-to-land communications. Wright saw action at Manila and near several small islands in the Philippines. After his boat was sunk in a typhoon he worked on a troop ship and at the military radio station in San Francisco, California. He was discharged in March 1946. 50 pages. |
