U.S.S. COGSWELL DD-651 BOOK OF HISTORICAL INFORMATION Original publication May 1997 Prepared by John Barwinczok (TE 1951-1952) July 22, 1930 – July 17, 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are indebted to many shipmates who gave of their time, shared experiences and offered generous assistance toward the preparation of this book. Non-annotated references are original material received by John Barwinczok, while those entries with annotation list references in the back of the book. Revised edition June 2013 prepared by George Overman with added information, pictures, and accreditation where available. TIN CAN SAILORS There's a roll and a pitch and a heave and a hitch, To the nautical gait they take. For they're used to the cant of the decks aslant, As the white toothed combers break. On the plates that thrum like the beaten drum, To the thrill of the turbine's might, As the knife bow leaps through the yeasty deeps, With the speed of a shell in flight. Oh their scorn is quick for the crews that stick, To the battleships's steady floor. For they love the lurch of their own frail perch. At thirty-five knots or more. They don't give muchof drill and such That the battleship sailors do, But they sail the seas in their dungarees, A grimy destroyer's crew. They needn't climb at their sleeping time To a hammock that sways and bumps. They leap kerplunk to a cozy bunk That quivers and bucks and jumps. They hear the sound of the sea that pounds On the quarter-inch plates of steel, And close their eyes to the lullabbies Of the creaking sides and keel. They're a lusty crowd that is vastly proud Of the lean grey craft they drive; Of the roaring flues and humming screws That make her a thing alive. They love the lunge of her surging plunge, And the murk of of her smoke screen, too, As they sail the seas in their dungarees; A grimy destroyer's crew. 1943 The ship was placed in commission at the Navy Yard, Boston, Mass., by Rear Admiral R.

    United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922

    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

    U.S.S. Oregon City (CA-122) by James V

    U.S.S. Oregon City (CA-122) By James V. Hillegas-Elting The U.S.S. Oregon City (CA-122) was the namesake of its class of heavy cruisers. Designed, ordered, and built during World War II, it was an advanced warship; but the war emergency was over when the ship entered full service in early 1946. About two-and-a-half years after Secretary Frank Knox announced the navy's plan to build a ship to honor Oregon City, Bethlehem Steel Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, launched the ship on June 9, 1945. The wife of Oregon City Commissioner Raymond P. Caufield was present to sponsor the ship, and singer Bing Crosby attended as part of a war bond drive. The Oregon City class weighed 13,000 tons, was 673’5” long, and had a beam of 70’10”, draft of 26’4”, and speed of 32.6 knots. The class carried a crew of 1,142, and its main armament was nine 8” guns in three turrets (two fore and one aft). For air defense, it had twelve 5” guns, forty-eight 40mm guns, and twenty 20mm guns. The navy planned to build ten ships of the class, but only two others were built as heavy cruisers: the Albany (CA-123), launched on June 30, 1945, and the Rochester (CA-124), launched on August 28, 1945. Once commissioned in February 1946, the Oregon City completed its “shakedown” cruise between Boston and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with Oregon City Mayor J.B. Caldwell among the guests. Based in Boston, the Oregon City served as the flagship of the 4th Fleet from July 1946 until its reassignment to the 2nd Fleet in January 1947.

    A Visual Guide to the Gato Class

    A VISUAL GUIDE TO THE U.S. FLEET SUBMARINES PART ONE: GATO CLASS (WITH A TAMBOR/GAR CLASS POSTSCRIPT) 1941-1945 BY DAVID L. JOHNSTON 2010 (revised June, 2010) A cursory review of photographs of the U.S. fleet submarines of World War II often leaves the reader with the impression that the boats were nearly identical in appearance. Indeed, the fleet boats from the Porpoise class all the way to the late war Tench class were all similar enough in appearance that it is easy to see how this impression is justified. However, a more detailed examination of the boats will reveal a bewildering array of differences, some of them quite distinct, that allow the separation of the boats into their respective classes. Ironically, the rapidly changing configuration of the boats’ appearances often makes it difficult to get down to a specific boat identification. However being familiar with all of the wartime changes will allow you to narrow down the date of the photo and when combined with other data will sometimes get you the specific name. The Gato class started construction on 11 September 1940 with the Drum at Portsmouth and ended on 01 March 1944 with the commissioning of the Hammerhead at Manitowoc. With a construction period spanning a time of tremendous change within the force, these boats were subjected to several distinct modifications to their outward appearance, with these configurations being distinct enough to allow their visual separation from the earlier Porpoise/Perch, Salmon/Sargo, and Tambor/Gar boats, and the later Balao and Tench classes.

    PORTLAND ROSE FESTIVAL NOTAMS 2009 NOTAM I JUNE 4, 2009 Beginning on Thursday, June 4th 0600 hours and continuing through 1900 hours, Naval vessels will be traveling up the Columbia and Willamette Rivers to dock at Portland’s Waterfront Park for the Portland Rose Festival. Due to a heightened level of security aboard these vessels, airmen should avoid direct over-flight or operations near these vessels. Crews on the vessels are on high alert. The purpose of this NOTAM is to avoid placing Naval personnel in the position of having to make a judgment call about the intentions of an aircraft approaching the ships. NOTAM 2 JUNE 5-8, 2009 From June 5th @ 1500 hours to June 8th, 2009 @ 1300 hours PDT, Naval vessels will be docked in the Willamette River in front of the Portland Downtown Heliport for the Portland Rose Festival. Due to a heightened level of security aboard these vessels, airmen should avoid direct over-flight of these vessels for any operations including, but not limited to, approach to and departure from the Portland Downtown Heliport. If possible, airmen should use the north approach both in and out of the facility. Aircraft utilizing the Heliport or operating in the area of these Naval Vessels should initiate and maintain radio communication with joint Navy/Cost Guard Command Post on 123.075 when approaching the downtown area. While the ships are in Portland, the area of the Willamette River between the Steel Bridge and the Hawthorne Bridge will be a designated Coast Guard Security Zone. Any operations, including water taxiing (Seaplanes) are prohibited.
