It’s very important that we remember the sacrifices made by these heroes to keep America free. With this in mind, I would like to announce that Richard Hugen, SDPHS 3rd District Director, is compiling a reference library of books having to do with the attack on Pearl Harbor. A list of books and other printed mate- rial with a synopsis of each will be posted on the SDPHS website and people will be able to contact Richard for more information. This will not be a lending library. Richard will make portions of the books available to academic enquiries and those researching details of the attack. If you have any books about the December 7th attack, please contact Richard directly at [email protected]. He would love to hear from you. Since our approval as an IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, we have received dona- tions from the ILWU Credit Union in Wilmington, CA and the Nicholas J. & Anna K. Bouras Foundation in Summit, NJ in memory of PHS John Mathrusse. We are very appreciative of these donations. If you know of an organization that would like to donate money to our organization, please have them contact me directly. The Executive Board would like to collect enough funding for a memorial bench to be constructed and located at one of our National Cemeteries or Museums in the next two years. As promised, we have added some new items to the Small Stores to include Tervis cups, thank you cards, lapel and flag pins, and challenge coins. Check out the items in this issue of the Offspring. Please feel free to order as many items as you would like. I am still working on having the Small Stores available on the SDPHS website. Our next Offspring will be coming out after Veteran’s Day. Plan to do something special by marching in a parade, taking a Pearl Harbor Survivor or veteran to lunch, or visit a home for veterans and let them know how much you ap- preciate them. Above all else, Remember Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, Lest We Forget! Thank you, Deidre Kelley CHILD SURVIVOR HISTORY PROJECT Please send articles and photos to: Richard Hugen, 5334 Owens Street, Arvada, CO 80002. Phone: (303) 570-7400 e-mail: [email protected]. If you are a child survivor of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, contact Richard Hugen and be recognized. Also, send an account of your memories leading up to, during & after the attack . FROM OUR PEARL HARBOR SURVIVOR ARCHIVIST GORDON SPARKS I need some help. I have finished listing the deaths from all of the Grams. I have 13,000 names listed and about 300 errors not counting the dates of deaths. If anyone has old Pearl Harbor Survivor rosters, death listings, either state or national I would appreciate your sharing them with me. Some of the errors are: states, stations, membership numbers, etc. I really want to make as complete a list as possible so any copies or originals would be greatly appreciated. In addition, I currently have 4,500 names listed of their New Member Sheets from the Grams.

    December 2003 THE JERSEYMAN To our United States Armed Forces From the volunteers of USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and Thank You for your service God Bless America 2 THE JERSEYMAN DECEMBER 2003 HISTORY OF U.S.S. 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.

    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boston National Historical Park Charlestown Navy Yard Ships Built By The Charlestown Navy Yard Prepared by Stephen P. Carlson Division of Cultural Resources Boston National Historical Park 2005 Author’s Note This booklet is a reproduction of an appendix to a historic resource study of the Charlestown Navy Yard, which in turn was a revision of a 1995 supplement to Boston National Historical Park’s information bulletin, The Broadside. That supplement was a condensation of a larger study of the same title prepared by the author in 1992. The information has been derived not only from standard published sources such as the Naval Historical Center’s multi-volume Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships but also from the Records of the Boston Naval Shipyard and the Charlestown Navy Yard Photograph Collection in the archives of Boston National Historical Park. All of the photographs in this publication are official U.S. Navy photographs from the collections of Boston National Historical Park or the Naval Historical Center. Front Cover: One of the most famous ships built by the Charlestown Navy Yard, the screw sloop USS Hartford (IX-13) is seen under full sail in Long Island Sound on August 10, 1905. Because of her role in the Civil War as Adm. David Glasgow Farragut’s flagship, she was routinely exempted from Congressional bans on repairing wooden warships, although she finally succumbed to inattention when she sank at her berth on November 20, 1956, two years short of her 100th birthday.
