  • TO the FAR EAST with SAVAGE by Captain John M
    TO THE FAR EAST WITH SAVAGE By Captain John M. Waters, Jr., USCG (Ret.) Assumed command on 17 September, 1945 at Finger Bay, Adak, Alaska Relieved of command on 13 June, 1946 at Green Cove Springs - 1 - TO THE FAR EAST WITH SAVAGE by Captain John M. Waters, USCG (Ret.) I first saw SAVAGE on a bleak rainy night in Finger Bay, Adak, Alaska at the end of a 10,000 mile odyssey by sea and air from the Philippines, where I had received my orders to command her. During this seemingly endless journey, the Allies dropped the atomic bombs, and Japan had just surrendered. As she had operational orders pending, I took command with a minimum of ceremony. She had an experienced crew and capable officers, so we dispensed with the usual exercising of the crew at quarters. We had orders to sail to Attu, where we were to pick up mail and classified cargo, then on to the big Russian naval base at Petropavlovsk, Siberia. Russian had entered the war only weeks before. After a brief stop at Attu, we sailed to a rendezvous point 50 miles off the Petropavlovsk minefields, where we were to meet a Russian destroyer. After arrival, we steamed back and forth for several hours until informed by COMNOPPAC (Commander North Pacific) that the Russians would not be there. We were then instructed to proceed to Akhomten Bay, on the Kamchatka Peninsula about 25 miles south of the main naval base. We eased into Akhornten Bay late in the afternoon, feeling our way in by radar in the fog and gloom.
