  • 1St Quarter 2006
    1st Quarter 2006 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN USS NEW JERSEY - KOREA… “This photo was taken in 1951 by an unidentified watch stander on the 08 level flying bridge. Three sailors were actually standing watch at the bow in this photo - as mine lookouts. We had just run into a series of big swells of which this was one of the largest. Only by the grace of God, they survived by wrapping themselves around the twin pedestals of the 20MM guns that were there at the time. Those guns, and the two ready service ammunition boxes helped prevent them from being swept away. They were badly bruised, and nearly drowned from being under water for so long. One of them had a broken collar bone. After they were rescued, they were sent below to sickbay and the seas finally calmed. As I recall, no one else stood mine watches for the remainder of that day.” PH3 John Hastings Appleton, Wisconsin USS NEW JERSEY (N-Div) (Editor’s note: The “L” Division duties are described on Page 3, and are taken from USS NEW JERSEY’s “SALVO,” a Korean war Cruisebook - 1951…) 2 THE JERSEYMAN From Bob Walters, Battleship New Jersey Archives Manager - - - Over the past several years, the Battleship New Jersey archives have received a number of donations from former crewmen, and more than a few have been shared as articles in The Jerseyman. What we are asking again today, is that others with stories and photos might also consider offering their history memories to the ship.

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.
