His ship left Pearl Harbor on December 1 as escort to the aircraft carrier Enterprise, and so was not in port when the Japanese attacked. Other topics covered includes an early radar device called CXAM, duty in Australia, the battle of Coral Sea, shore leave, getting married, being stationed in New Caledonia, ship duty throughout the Pacific, and post-war reserve duty. 27 pages. |
