Guadalupe Castaneda Seaman First Class United States Navy Born 17 December 1921 Killed In Action 15 November 1942 Guadalupe “Lupe” Castaneda was born December 17, 1921, in Orange County, CA, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Castaneda of Santa Ana. The earliest records show him living with his grandparents, Pedro and Felipa Castaneda and cousins Augustine and Francisco Hernandez on a ranch on Redhill Ave. in Tustin. Lupe attended Tustin Elementary and Tustin High School graduating with the class of 1941. While at Tustin High, he lettered in track. After graduation he enlisted in the United States Navy on March 2, 1942, and received his training in San Diego and Hawaii and was stationed in San Francisco. Seaman Castaneda was stationed aboard the light cruiser USS Atlanta and saw action in the Pacific, Midway, and Guadalcanal. On November 13, 1942, at the second Battle of Guadalcanal, the Atlanta saw battle with Japanese forces at close range. The Japanese ship Akatsuki illuminated the Atlanta and the Americans sunk the Akatsuki but not before it was hit on the port side engine room. While it was dead in the water, it was hit by an additional 19 enemy shells. Sadly the USS San Francisco mistakenly identified the Atlanta as an enemy ship and opened fire. A Japanese sub fired upon the San Francisco but the torpedo passed by the San Francisco and hit her Atlanta’s sister ship, the USS Juneau, sinking the ship and killing the infamous 5 Sullivan brothers. The Atlanta was too badly damaged to continue with any journey and a captain received permission to scuttle the Atlanta. Seaman Guadalupe Castaneda, wounded in the battle, died two days after his wounds. He was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation and the Purple Heart. He is buried at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Orange, CA. .

Appendix As Too Inclusive
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

The New Navy and America's Rise As a World Power, 1880-1919
THE NEW NAVY AND AMERICA'S RISE AS A WORLD POWER, 1880-1919 A Report of a Senior Study by Michael Arpino Major: History Maryville College Spring Term, 2012 Date approved ____________, by _______________________ Faculty Supervisor Date approved ____________, by _______________________ Division Chair Abstract The years between 1880 and 1919 witnessed the rise of the United States as a respected world power driven by a world class New Navy. This thesis provides a survey of historical events outlining this development set against the greater context of national and international events during this period. By tracing the course of these events from the pre-history of the New Navy, through the Spanish-American War, to the First World War and beyond, this thesis demonstrates the application of Mahanian principles to Naval history and America's emergence as a power.

Diary of Leading Stoker Victor Bethell HMS Gloucester 1916
Diary of Leading Stoker Victor Bethell, HMS Gloucester, 26th April – 5th June 1916 HMS Gloucester was a Town-class light cruiser that took part in the first naval encounter of the war, the chase of the German battlecruiser SMS Goeben and the light cruiser SMS Breslau in the Mediterranean, during which she engaged and hit Breslau. In May 1916, she was back in home waters with the 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron, part of the Grand Fleet’s Battlecruiser fleet. The extract below covers the Irish Easter Rising and the Battle of Jutland. A Leading Stoker was in charge of a group of stokers, whose job was to shovel coal into the furnaces of a ship’s boilers. Known as the ‘Black Gang’, they did hot, hard work in the bowels of the ship. Wednesday 26th April: At Queenstown. We take onboard 100 Royal Marines and proceed to Galway Bay, on the west coast of Ireland. Thursday 27th April: We arrive at Galway and land the soldiers to stop the Sinn Féin rising. The Irish Police bring aboard five leaders and we held them prisoners. Friday 28th April: Troopship arrives and they land more soldiers. Wednesday 10th May: Still at Galway. HMS Adventure relieves us and we proceed to Queensferry in the Firth of Forth. Friday 12th May: Arrived at Queensferry. Tuesday 30th May: Left Queensferry with the fleet and go full speed for Germany. Wednesday 31st May: At four pm, enemy sighted and our battlecruisers open fire. We were alongside the battlecruisers (HMS Lion flagship) about the moment that HMS Invincible was blown up and sank in a few minutes (she was off the port side of us).

These came to be known as “heavy cruisers” because of their size and later because of their armament. All of these ships were built under limitations resulting from a series of naval treaties, and thus they were also known as “treaty cruisers.” These ships gave valuable service during World War II and saw action in all the major battles in the Pacific. A separate volume will cover the heavy cruisers built during and after the war that saw service not only in 1941–45, but also later in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
