BUCCANEER an Official Publication of the USS King (DLG-10/DDG-41) Association V OLUME 4, ISSUE 2 MAY 2005 BUCCANEER An Official Publication of the USS King (DLG-10/DDG-41) Association PUBLISHED BY: DAVE NESBITT 7983 Bradwick Way Melbourne, FL 32940 [email protected] Message from the Board of Directors Dave Nesbitt, President Greetings Fellow Members, It is May already, where did the winter go? It is hard to believe that the Seattle Reunion is next month, shipmates are signing up and every- PHOTO BY: thing is a go! B. BOLEY We are all looking forward to this year’s reunion, everyone should really enjoy it. “King” is not an unfamiliar word in Seattle. Seattle is in King County, one of the local Radio and TV Stations call signs are “KING TV” and “KING FM”, so the residents will not mind if for a few days, we call it “King Country”! As a reminder, last year shipmates waited until the last minute before making their reservations for the Reunion. About six of them ended up having to stay at an alternate hotel. The same will hold true this year, th rooms that are not reserved by the 15 of May, will be released and the PHOTO BY: discounted price will end. Later in this Newsletter, Doug Schulz B. BOLEY (Reunion Director) will provide more detail as to the status of the Reun- ion. We have already started the preliminary efforts for the 2006 Reunion, based on membership inputs from the Survey we conducted last year, a tentative location of Baltimore, MD has been chosen, but we are cur- rently having difficulty finding a hotel that is not already booked, or out- side the price range members are willing to pay. A potential alternate lo- cation may be Charleston, SC. In this issue of the Newsletter, we should be providing you with Bal- PHOTO BY: lots for next year’s Board of Directors, unfortunately; only four members B. BOLEY have come forward to offer their services and talents to the King Asso- ciation as potential Board Members. The Bylaws of the Association pro- vide for six Board Members and at least one Board Alternate, for this reason, there is no need to have a membership vote. During the Annual Meeting in Seattle, we will attempt to solicit more members to take on this responsibility. If there is a quorum present at the Meeting, those that are present will have the opportunity to vote. Biographies of the four can- PHOTO BY: B. BOLEY 1 didates are provided in this newsletter for your information. This is a very disappointing situation, that of well over 130 members, there are not seven members that are willing to step forward and help out. There is currently a Membership Drive in progress in an attempt to grow our numbers, Bill Baumgartner (Membership Director), will say more about it in his article. If you have not looked at our website; uss-king.com lately, take a look, Chuck White (Communications Director) has continued to do a phenomenal job on it. It is a website that we can all be proud of. Jim Sievers (Administration Director) continues his efforts maintain- ing the Database; this is an ongoing and almost impossible task, espe- PHOTO BY: cially keeping addresses updated. In February we sent out over 700 B. BOLEY emails to shipmates with Reunion Information and another 250 mailings using the postal service. Over 150 emails were returned because of incor- rect addressing and another 100 mailings were returned with no forward- ing address information. The King Association is in the possession of a DDG-41 Model. This is a first-off kit, where the manufacturer sent us the first kit, to try and gen- erate interest. The kit itself is not suitable for a novice to put together, so we paid an experienced modeler to put it together for us. The results were very disappointing in that many pieces were missing or the wrong shape/ type for King. To make it even more difficult, the assembly instructions were very lacking in detail. With what few pictures we could get of DDG-41, the modeler did the best he could. The modeler made the state- ment that “this was the worst kit he ever assembled”! Now, believe it or PHOTO BY: B. BOLEY not, the above is an advertisement. We will initially make this model available to our shipmates by way of a Silent Auction, the high bidder will be determined at the end of the Seattle Reunion, we are asking for a minimum bid of $150 + Shipping and Handling. If we fail to achieve the minimum bid, the model will be put on “eBay”. A picture of the model is provided. If you are one of the few that are not attending the Reunion and you want to bid on the model, a form is provided in this Newsletter to submit your bid via mail. Although we received the PHOTO BY: model free of charge, there is well over D. NESBITT $200 invested in it, which we would like to recover for the association. Personally, this will be my last article representing your Board of Di- rectors. Over the past two years it has been my privilege to be on the Board of Directors, and represent the Board of Directors and the Mem- bership of the King Association as President. The Bylaws limit the Elected Officers of the Association to a maximum of two terms, I have had my “turn-at-bat”, now it’s time for someone else to step up to the plate. Hopefully I will be able to continue on as one of your Board Mem- bers next year and if appointed by the new President, the publisher of the “Buccaneer”. PHOTO BY: J. SIEVERS 2 What do they look like now? MESSAGE FROM THE ASSOCIATION VICE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY Jack Dineen OS2 (SW) Hello fellow Kings Men from the Big Apple. As we rapidly approach the Seattle reunion where we will gather once again, I am struck by a major recent event in our storied military’s history. Just one week ago in Washington DC., the Family of Sgt. First Class James Smith of the United States Army, assigned to the Third Infantry Division, Audie Murphy’s old unit, re- ceived the most prestigious military award of the United States of America. On April 4th, 2003 when assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division near Baghdad’s International Airport, Sgt. First Class James Smith recognized and responded to a determined Iraqi Army attack while setting up an area to receive prisoners of war. During his actions to respond to this attack Sgt. First Class James Smith organized a defensive perimeter and then went on the attack against a numerically superior enemy force of some 200 Iraqi regular Army forces and Saddam Hussein fanatics. He personally rescued numerous wounded Third Infantry Soldiers and assumed command of Army forces in his area without direct orders and went on the offensive to bring the fight to the enemy. During his actions he killed or wounded numerous enemy forces while directing withering fire at Iraqi attackers. Dur- ing this fight, Sgt. First Class Smith sustained a mortal wound, but kept on fighting until he could fight no longer. Therefore, as so ordered by Congress on this date for actions in combat “FOR CONSPICIOUS GALLENTRY AND INTREPIDITY AT THE RISK OF LIFE, ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY”, near Baghdad’s international Airport on April 4th, 2003, Sgt. First Class Paul Smith is awarded the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR. He is survived by his wife Brigit, children Jessica and David, sis- ter Lisa, brother Anthony, mother Janice and step father Donald. It should be noted that the award ceremony took place on the 32nd anniversary of the official opening of the World Trade Center here in New York City. Sgt. First Class James Smith was a veteran of Operation De- sert Storm and a career Army Soldier. During his career, Sgt. Smith strived to be the best soldier he could be and imparted his knowledge and wisdom on soldiers too numerous to name, which during times of peace and war ultimately reflected on his love of country and his call to duty so that others may live in safety. Through his action on that fateful day, he saved the lives of numerous Third Infantry Soldiers, went on the offensive and was mortally wounded. Where do such men come from many have asked? They come from towns small and big , cities and states as well as from nations where native sons and daughters have come to America for a better life. Admiral Chester Nimitz once remarked on the actions of Marines, “WHERE UNCOMMOM VALOR WAS A COMMON VIRTUE”. Sgt. James Smith on the 4th of April, 2003 showed Uncommon Valor that day and his legacy will forever be enshrined in the storied annuals of the United States Army and the mili- tary history of the United States of America. May he rest in peace with fair winds and calm seas. May his fam- ily be calmed that through his actions that day they and others may live and that they know for eternity he will be forever be remembered as a Soldier of the United States Army who when called to duty performed above and beyond the call of duty and sacrificed his life so that other may live in safety. Theodore Roosevelt once remarked,” THE ONE THING I WANT TO LEAVE MY CHILDREN IS AN HONORABLE NAME’, Sgt Smith, rest assured that this will be known, your children will forever have in their hearts that one can have no greater love for another in that he lays down his life so that other may live.

  • Black British North American Sailors in the Civil War Richard Reid
    Black British North American Sailors in the Civil War Richard Reid Pendant la guerre civile américaine, presque trois cents cinquante jeunes hommes de couleur venant des cinq colonies qui composaient l'Amérique du Nord britannique se sont portés volontaires dans la marine de l'Union. Cet article examine leur participation dans la guerre pour comprendre leurs identités sociales et leurs motivations pour s'enrôler. Une discussion de qui étaient ces hommes, comment et où ils se sont enrôlés, et l’autonomie qu'ils ont démontrée en choisissant leur service non seulement parle à la nature des communautés noires en Amérique du Nord britannique mais également à la nature évolutive de la guerre navale. On 16 May 1861, just one month after the fall of Fort Sumter and the start of the American Civil War, John Anderson, a twenty-one year old “mulatto” from Nova Scotia, enlisted in the Union navy at a rendezvous station in New York City. Although Anderson gave his occupation as “none,” he was rated as “ordinary seaman” indicating that he had extensive previous maritime experience. He signed on for three years although there is no record of the ship or ships on which he served.1 Indeed little more is known of John Anderson but then that is not remarkable. Very little is known or has been written of the hundreds of blacks from British North America who served in the Union navy during the Civil War. The best general or regional studies of Canadian involvement in the Civil War, such as Robin Winks’ Canada and the United States: The Civil War Years or Greg Marquis’ In Armageddon’s Shadow, give little more than brief anecdotes of black involvement in the war, especially in the naval war.2 None attempt, in any systematic way, to measure the number of men who volunteered.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Confederate Ironclad Steam Engines, Boilers, and Propulsion Systems by Saxon T
    Abstract “How A Vessel of This Magnitude Was Moved”: A Comparative Analysis of Confederate Ironclad Steam Engines, Boilers, and Propulsion Systems by Saxon T. Bisbee November 2012 Director: Dr. Bradley A. Rodgers Department of History The development of steam propulsion machinery in warships during the 19th century in conjunction with iron armor and shell guns resulted in a technological revolution in the world’s navies. Warships utilizing all of these technologies had been built in France and Great Britain dating back to the 1850s, but it was during the American Civil War that ironclads powered solely by steam proved themselves in large numbers. The armored warships built by the Confederate States of America especially represented a style adapted to scarce industrial resources and facilities. The development and / or procurement of propulsion machinery for these warships have received only peripheral study. Through historical and archaeological investigation, this thesis consolidates and expands on the scattered existing information on Confederate ironclad steam engines, boilers, and propulsion systems. Using a comparative analytical approach, the steam plants of 27 ironclads are assessed by source, type, and performance, among other factors. This has resulted in an analysis of steam machinery development during the Civil War and also adds to the relatively small knowledge base relating to Confederate ironclads. “How A Vessel of This Magnitude Was Moved”: A Comparative Analysis of Confederate Ironclad Steam Engines, Boilers, and Propulsion Systems A Master of Arts Thesis Presented To The Faculty of the Department of History East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Saxon T.

  • Spanish-American War Veterans Survey Collection: an Inventory of the Collection
    U.S. ARMY MILITARY HISTORY INSTITUTE Carlisle, Pennsylvania Manuscript Collection Spanish-American War Veterans Survey Collection: An Inventory of the Collection Overview of the Collection Repository: U.S. Army Military History Institute Creator: U.S. Army Military History Institute Dates: 1861-November 1998, undated Title: Spanish-American War Veterans Survey Collection Extent: 82.25 linear feet (103 Boxes and 2 Map Cabinet Drawers) 1 Biography The Spanish American War Veterans Survey Collection was created from the Spanish-American War Veterans and Widows Survey. The Survey began in 1968 when the U.S. Military History Research Collection at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, predecessor of the U.S. Army Military History Institute, used pension records of the Veterans Administration to send letters to 8,000 identified veterans of the Spanish American War, Philippine Insurrection and the China Relief Expedition. The letters described the efforts of the Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection and Boxer Rebellion (China Relief Expedition) Veterans Project to collect information from veterans and included an initial questionnaire. Approximately 800 veterans returned the initial request and agreed to fill out a detailed questionnaire regarding equipment, discipline, soldier life, campaigns and leadership. In addition, letters were sent to widows of the veterans resulting in 1,490 additional collections. Scope and Content of the Collection This collection contains Spanish-American War Veteran’s Survey Questionnaires and donated material from veterans, as well as their widows, of the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection and the China Relief Expedition. The questionnaires contain information regarding the veteran’s branch of service, length of service, campaign participation and aspects of daily life in the military.
