S. Navy has for many years conducted First of Class Trials on each new class of ship built for the Fleet. During World War II, such trials were accomplished on the USS NEW JERSEY (BB 62) representing the new IOWA Class battleships which were then entering the fleet. These trials were conducted by the David Taylor Model Basin at Rockland, Maine in October 1943. Over 40 years later, under the Battleship Reactivation and Modernization Program, the David Taylor Research Center (DTRC) was tasked by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to conduct a new set of First of Class Trials for the IOWA Class. These new trials were deemed necessary due to the many changes to these ships which have occurre< over the years and more recently during the Reactivation Program. The new trials were conducted on the lead ship, USS IOWA (BB 61) in August 1985 at the Hatteras East Coast ,.

  • Battery Lewis and the Navesink Military Reservation at Hartshorne Woods Park – Monmouth County Park System Information Sheet on Restoration & Interpretation
    Battery Lewis and the Navesink Military Reservation at Hartshorne Woods Park – Monmouth County Park System Information Sheet on Restoration & Interpretation Key to Defense of America’s Greatest Harbor With the looming threat of war in the late 1930s, the United States initiated a program to modernize and expand coastal defenses along the eastern and western seaboards. The Hartshorne property in the Navesink Highlands was deemed a desirable site due to its high elevation and location at the southern entrance to the New York harbor. In 1942 the US Government purchased 224 acres, and between 1942 and 1944 the Army constructed the Navesink Military Reservation as part of the Harbor Defenses of New York, headquartered at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook. The objectives of the Harbor Defenses of New York were to deny enemy ships access to New York Bay, and to furnish heavy artillery support for defense against landings. Two batteries were constructed at the Navesink Military Reservation during World War II. Battery Lewis, the larger of the two, is a 600 foot long casemated battery, consisting of two 16 inch caliber gun emplacements connected by a corridor housing ammunition storage and power rooms. Battery Lewis is the only 16 inch gun battery in the State of New Jersey. Constructed of steel and thick reinforced concrete and covered with earth, and built upon the prototype developed by the Army for all 16 inch gun batteries, Battery Lewis was designed to withstand battleship and aerial attack. Two 16 inch Navy Mk11 M1 guns on M4 Army barbette carriages were mounted in Battery Lewis in May 1943.

One op- eration after another, beginning with the Marshalls and running straight through the first air strikes on Tokyo, the big battleship has gone about the business of leveling Jap shore instal- lations and protecting carrier forces in the proverbial "one hand tied be- hind the back" fashion. Attacking Jap planes take one look at the dread- nought's gun-studded decks. That's usually enough. The one-time fast carrier task force flagship is potential enemy destruction, and no one is more aware of it than the Japs.

NEW JERSEY ... “TYPHOON COBRA,” DECEMBER 18, 1944 - Thousands of US sailors serving aboard the 130 plus ships of Task Force 38, rode out a terrible storm on December 18, 1944, and it is sadly remembered today as “Typhoon Cobra.” This storm resulted in 3 capsized destroyers, the loss of 790 men, the total destruction of 146 badly needed combat aircraft, and brought crippling dam- age to many ships. Especially hard hit were the CVL’s (Light Aircraft Carriers,) and CVE’s (Escort Carriers.) At the time, USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) was serving as fleet flagship for Task Force 38, and was under the command of Admiral William “Bull” Halsey. Today, as The Jerseyman commemorates this tragic World War 2 event, we are privileged to include stories of the storm as it was experienced by many of the sailors who were there. During our typhoon research, we were also fortunate to have had contact with Mr. Richard A. Strand, brother of lost USS SPENCE crewman Robert L. Strand. Mr. Strand has compiled an extensive amount of material about his brother’s ship. He graciously shared this information with The Jerseyman, and for many years, has offered his efforts at no cost, to the families of USS SPENCE crewmen. Along with the USS SPENCE’s history, his research contains many operating charts for the ship, and an excerpt from the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC), that USS SPENCE had received as part of Arleigh Burke’s famous “Little Beaver” Destroyer Squadron (DesRon) 23.

Our veterans have honorably served and sacrificed throughout the world when our nation called, and many have paid the ultimate sacrifice. It is with eternal gratitude that we take the time to honor the memory of our fallen while bringing alongside and thanking those heroes still among us. Our veterans are woven into the fabric of our great nation we call America. Veterans like those who served in the Pacific during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, during WWII, the Korean War, and… these warriors exemplified the meanings of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Today‘s Veterans, you, lend the character and the core values you developed while in uniform to the communities in which you live and work. We should take advantage of every chance we have to learn from and thank you for your devout patriotism. Service to our nation has bound us together and we must continue to draw on our veterans‘ experiences and value their dedication to our country and our way of life. This communication will strengthen and forge the future for our next generation of warriors and veterans. It is an honor for me to talk to and to remember the service and sacrifice of those who have gone before us and laid the foundation on which our service members today build their legacy.

    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.
