    USS Taylor (DD/DDE 468) World War II History — 1941–1946

    USS Taylor (DD/DDE 468) World War II History — 1941–1946 USS Taylor DD/DDE 468 was named for Rear Admiral William Rogers Taylor (1811-1889). She was laid down on 28 August 1941 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works CorP. Sponsored by Mrs. H.A. Baldridge, Taylor was launched on 7 June 1942. She was commissioned on 28 August 1942 at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, LCDR Benjamin KatZ commanding. Between the time Taylor’s keel was laid down and her commissioning on 28 August 1942 the Japanese navy attacked the United States Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Taylor, and the country she served, were immediately at war. She began her career with the Atlantic Fleet. Assigned to Destroyer Squadron 20. Taylor did her initial training at Casco Bay, Maine, and made her shakedown cruise in the northern Atlantic. She was then assigned to coastwise convoy escort duty which lasted until Mid- November 1942 when she escorted a transatlantic convoy to a point off Casablanca. The transit was uneventful, except for the intercePtion of a Spanish merchantman, SS Darro. Taylor sent a boarding party to the neutral shiP. The boarding party then sent the Darro to Gibraltar to prevent her from transmitting information about the convoy to the enemy. With the convoy safely at its destination, Taylor returned to the United States at Norfolk, VA. Receiving orders to transfer to the Pacific theater, Taylor departed HamPton Roads in comPany with Task Force 13. After transiting the Panama Canal and stoPPing at Tutuila in the Samoan Islands, Taylor rePorted at Noumea, New Caledonia, on 20 January 1943.

REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.

    The USS BRAINE-DD630 Was Laid at the Bath Iron Works on October 12, 1942

    USS Braine (DD-630) The keel for the USS BRAINE-DD630 was laid at the Bath Iron Works on October 12, 1942. Accelerated construction continued until launching on March 7, 1943. During the construction period, the assembly of officers and crew began. The first officer to report was Ensign Arthur F. Moricca, a graduate engineer of Rennsalear Polytechnic Institute. The first Commanding Officer, Commander John F. Newman, Jr., USN soon reported to Bath. He was followed by officers Ensign John D. Hotchkiss, Asst. Engineering Officer; Lieutenant John T. Evans, First Lieutenant; Lt(jg) Henry J. Watters, Communications Officer; Ensign William M. Eastman, Supply Officer; Lieutenant George W. Montgomery, Gunnery Officer. The new officers and crew observed the construction of the ship to become familiar with its components and operation. Although it was winter, the crew members enjoyed the serenity of Maine and the delicious sea food served in the many restaurants in the area. On a crisp and breezy winter Maine day with ice still on the river, the sponsor’s party assembled. Mrs. Daniel L. Braine, Brooklyn, New York and wife of the grandson of Admiral Daniel Lawrence Braine, USN for whom the vessel was named, wielded the bottle of champagne. With traditional words, Mrs. Braine christened the new destroyer UNITED STATES SHIP BRAINE - DD630 and launched her into destroyer history. As the ship came to rest in the middle of the Kennebec River, it was obvious that there was still a lot of work to be done before the BRAINE could join the fleet. Installation of boilers, turbines, electric panels, gun mounts, communication and navigation equipment, as well as all the items to accommodate the crew’s living quarters.

  • History of USS TAYLOR (DD/DDE 468) — 1941–1969

    History of USS TAYLOR (DD/DDE 468) — 1941–1969

    History of USS TAYLOR (DD/DDE 468) — 1941–1969 USS Taylor DD/DDE 468 was a FletCher class destroyer. Thus, the history of the Taylor begins with the history of the FletCher class destroyers. But before we begin this history, we need to review various Naval Treaties of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Naval Treaties The Washington Naval Treaty, also known as the Five-Power Treaty, was signed in 1922 by the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, FranCe, Italy and Japan. It limited the construction of battleships, battleCruisers, and airCraft carriers by the signatories. Although the numbers of other categories of warships, inCluding cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, were not limited by the treaty, those ships were limited to 10,000 tons displaCement eaCh. Later naval arms limitation conferenCes sought additional limitations of warship building. The terms of the Washington treaty were modified by the London Naval Treaty of 1930 and the SeCond London Naval Treaty of 1936. But these treaties would soon beCome useless. By the mid-1930’s, Japan and Italy renounCed the treaties, while Germany renounCed the Treaty of Versailles whiCh had limited its navy. Thus, naval arms limitation beCame inCreasingly diffiCult for the other signatories. FletCher Class Destroyers The FletCher class, named for Admiral Frank F. FletCher, was the largest class of destroyer ordered by the United States government at the time. It would be one of the most suCCessful and popular with the destroyer men themselves. Compared to earlier classes built for the Navy, they carried a signifiCant inCrease in anti-airCraft weapons and other weaponry, whiCh caused displaCements to rise.
