She was. built at the Seattle plant of the Todd-Pacific Shipbuilding Company. Mrs. Lance E. Massey christened the ship on Septem'ber- 12, 19^4, in honor of her late' husband,, Lieu• tenant Commander Lance E. Massey, USN, one of the early heroes of the Pacific- war. As the Commander of Torpedo Squadron Three in the Battle of Midway, Commander Massey died pressing home an assault through in• tense antiaircraft and fighter opposition that resulted In the sinking of two Japanese aircraft carriers. .On November 24, 1944, in Seattle, the USS MASSEY was officially placed in commission with Commander Charles W, Aldrich, USN,- as her first 'commanding officer. For the next week, the MASSEY continued • on her final outfitting alongside the dock before getting underway on • .'November 50 on the first of her pre-shakedown trial runs. After con• ducting various gunnery, radar, and degauslng tests and-exercises in .the.Puget Sound area, the MASSEY departed for San Diego on December 12. Here she underwent six weeks of various drills and inspections climaxed by her final military Inspection of January 25. The follow• ing day,. she began tlie return trip to Puget Sound, where she went . in.to dry.dock in the Br.emer.ton Navy Yard for a post-shakedown over- • haul. On February 15,- the MASSEY weighed anchor and steamed out through the Strait of.Juan de Fuca with Pearl Harbor her destination. After holding gunnery -exercises in the Hawaiian area, she departed for Port Purvis, Florida Island, as one of the screening units for two escort 'carriers..' In the Solomons Group, of which Florida is a member, the •ship took, part in the maneuvers conducted there preliminary to the .Okinawa amphibious operation. She continued to screen these escort carriers as tiaey moved northward to Ulithi in the Western Carolines ..on March 21 and then up to Okinawa by April 1, For the first month-of tho Okinawa campaign, the MASSEY served with a .task force-of four escort carriers, whose planes supplied air support for the ground forces on the island and conducted neutralizing attacks on the airfield-of the Sakishlma Islands to the southwest. Then followed seven weeks of radar pictcet duty around Okinawa in company-with one.or more destroyers. It was during this period that . •'her gunners firs.t'had an opportunity to show what they .could do. The ship underwent'frequent attacks by Kamikaze planes, but tho combina• tion of able maneuvering by Captain Aldrich, expert aircraft identi• fication by her radarmen, and excellent shooting by her gunners-, brought her through unscathed. She accounted for nine iCamikaze planes in all, five of which fell before her guns one evening in a brief engagement commencing just after the friendly fighter plane cover had returned to base for tho night. With the collapse of organized Japanese resistance on Okinawa, most of^the destroyers on picket duty there received new assignments. - 2 - (USS MASSEY) On June 24, the MASSEY departed for San Pedro Bay, Leyte Gulf, P. I., In company with Destroyer Squa'dron 24. Following a brief period of repair work,.she returned to Buckner'Bay, Okinawa, as part of the screen for a fast cruiser/task, force. This force made tho first surface antishipping sweeps off the China Coast, ranging from the . waters north of Formosa, to the .approaches to...Shanghai. At the time of the Japanese surrender, the MASSEY lay at .anchor in Buckner Bay, provisioning for another one of those sweeps . • . c The MASSEY first steamed into Japanese waters on 22 September as part of a task force, covering the first American landings at Wakayama on the Inland Sea. Just previously, she had .completed one week of •patrolling a lifeguard station on the airline, route from Tokyo to Okinawa, over which liberated prisoners of war were being flown. Then •followed a round trip couriar run to Okinawa, where she narrowly missed the destructive typhoon -of 9 October. Back in Wakayama, she operated'.with, other destroyers of Squadron 66 on a weekly trip to Yokosuka in Tokyo Bay. She continued on this duty until the squa'dron departed for San Diego on 5 December, traveling by the way of Eniwetok Ma,rshall Islands.-, and Pearl Harbor. .' Leaving Pearl Harbor, the MASSEY pointed her nose eastward and "home.- She•arrived.at San Diego on 22 December 1945 and after 14 months at war, all'hands had a very merry Christmas — at home. On 3 January 1946, the MASSEY left for New York, ar.rivod there on 15.January and was Immediately given 10 days upkeep. From 6 July • until 1 November the destroyer voyaged between Newport, New York, and the SouthDrill Grounds, conducting extensive gunnery exercises. From 6 July until 1 November of 1946 MASSEY cruised in the'Nor• folk and British West -Indies area, running the gamut of tasks and- - exercises which are,demanded of a peace-time destroyer; escorting, practice shore bombardment, screening, drilling, and all the various maneuvers which go to maintain top-notch efficiency on the destroyer service. After a short time in Charleston for tender availability, and .more' cruising, the MASSEY reported to Commander Destroyer Squadron Two at Norfolk where, on 15 July 194?, she awaited a cruise to the Mediterranean. By Directive dated March 1946, the USS MS3EY (DD 778) has re• mained on active duty, attached to the U. S.

The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation,that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the home front. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.

    MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT June 2018 A message from the President Greetings, Summer arrived in Sebring. It has been very hot (high 80s, low 90s) the last couple of weeks. June also is start of the rainy and hurricane seasons in Florida and we have been receiving almost daily showers since late May. Hopefully our Northern members are enjoying cooler and drier air. So far this year we have had close to 600 visitors, hopefully headed for a record number of visitors for the year. Summer normally brings a decline in the number of visitors. This is a great time for visits from Scouts and other groups----can pretty much have the Museum to John Cecil themselves. Just let us know in advance when your group wants to visit (863) 385-0992 or [email protected]. We received many favorable comments on our Memorial Day observance. It was held in front of the Museum with attendees seated under a large tent. Towards the end of the observance, it began to rain and all attendees came inside the Museum where the observance was concluded. This also worked out well as we had a cake cutting ceremony planned inside to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Museum which opened its doors as the Military Sea Services Museum on Memorial Day 1998. See additional comments and photos elsewhere in this "Scuttlebutt." Photos were provided by Fred Carino, Cris Carino, Diana Borders and Donald Laylock. Have a great summer. Stay safe!
