After the gun was loaded with rounds, six bags of powder (large bags were 110 lbs. each) and lead foil, the gun elevated down to the platform in the pit where loaded, and the primer was about the same size as a 30-30 brass cartridge.

  • Donald Francis Antonacci
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This story is compiled from many sources: family furnished information, histories, memoirs, and newspapers; the greater portion, however, is culled from official Navy Department records of Donald Francis Antonacci. It reflects the totality of events Donald participated in or lived through during a life that ended only too soon; from his childhood experiences as a resident of St. Agnes Home and School for Boys (Sparkill, NY), as a budding teenager, to his late teenage years as a young Sailor, culminating in completing a military career of over 21 years in the service of his country, including being awarded the Purple Heart Medal for his wounds from combat service in Vietnam. While this story is lovingly dedicated to Donald, it also includes his four Brothers because of the love they shared for one another, forever interrupted until the hereafter by the untimely loss of their dear brother Donald. Donald Robert John Ralph Joseph 1 Special thanks are extended especially to John Antonacci who exerted much effort and energy in his endeavor to have this record made of Donald’s service to his country. His forceful efforts and resolute determination were also reflected in his following through to ensure this tribute was written about his beloved Brother Donald. He promptly and thoroughly answered my numerous inquiries, sending any and all documents and pictures requested. Thanks also to Joseph Antonacci (my former classmate and fellow Marine) for locating his brother Donald’s personal records that contained a treasure trove of important military information and documentation. Without the support of these two men in particular, this story could not have been told.

    summer 2008 OUTRIGGERthe ALL INDUSTRIAL SERVICES R. Baker & Son Magazine Veteran Owned and Operated R.BAKER & SON COMPLETES RIGGING PROJECT FOR U.S.S. INTREPID MUSEUM April 2008 - R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, a global dismantlement, decommissioning and demo- lition contractor, was entrusted with the rigging, removal and care of some of our nation’s most historical and prized military aircraft and artifacts from the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City. The USS Intrepid was one of the most successful aircraft carriers in U.S. maritime history. “The Fight- ing I”, as she was nicknamed, launched fighter planes in World War II, served three combat tours in Vietnam, and twice served as the primary recovery vessel for NASA spacecraft. Decommissioned in 1974, she was reborn in 1982 as the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum, and is now considered a national historic landmark. When she underwent a recent $8 million dollar interior renovation, R. Baker & Son became involved in the project. R. Baker & Son was contracted to first perform the rigging and relocation of several aircraft slated for restoration. Careful planning and coordination, including critical lift plans for each pick, was neces- sary to ensure that the priceless aircraft were not damaged. The planes were rigged down from the flight deck using a 120-ton hydraulic crane, spreader bar, associated rigging gear and a 4-5 man crew. From there, they were rigged onto flatbeds or barges. Using the same crew and equipment, several already-refurbished aircraft were then rigged up to the flight deck.

    October November December 2004 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN The Battle of Leyte Gulf... Sixty years ago, naval forces of the United States and Australia dealt a deadly and final blow to the Japanese Navy at Leyte Gulf. Over a four day period ranging from 23 - 26 October 1944, and in four separate engagements, the Japanese Navy lost 26 ships and the US Navy lost 6. With this issue of The Jerseyman, we present another look back at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, record some new stories, and present a few 60 year old, but “new” photos sent in by the men that were there. Our sincere thanks to all WW2 veterans, and Battle of Leyte Gulf veterans for their contributions to this issue. History also records that the Battle of Leyte Gulf was the one time in the Pacific war that Admiral William F. “Bull” Halsey, flying his flag aboard battleship USS NEW JERSEY, had a chance to take on the giant Japanese battleships IJN Musashi, and IJN Yamato. But in a controversial decision that is studied and discussed to this day, Admiral Halsey took the bait of a Japanese carrier decoy fleet, split his forces, and headed USS NEW JERSEY and the Third Fleet North. Admiral Halsey lost his chance. The greatest sea-battle victory in history fell instead to the older ships of the United States Seventh Fleet. We can only speculate on what it would have meant if Halsey’s Third Fleet had been there with the old Seventh Fleet battleships of WEST VIRGINIA, CALIFORNIA, TENNESSEE, MARYLAND, PENNSYLVANIA, and- MISSISSIPPI, and had added the firepower from fast battleships NEW JERSEY, IOWA, MASSACHUSETTS, SOUTH DAKOTA, WASHINGTON and ALABAMA… The flag shown is on display in the museum area of the ship.
