Horn 2 Surrey Court Chambersburg, PA 17201-8756 USS Haynsworth Newsletter NEW SECTION FOR 2014 (April 2014 page 3) In this NEW SECTION I will be selecting some excerpts from the New Book titled “PHALANX AGAINST A DIVINE WIND”, a story of the USS Haynsworth’s participation in WWII, 1944 to 1945. This book is being written by the son-in-law (Martin J. Irons) of John (Jack) McAllister, RM3/c 1944 to 1946. Jack passed away on November 11, 1992. See the December 2013 issue for more details on this. Over the past few months Marty has been sending numerous ‘This Day in the History of the Haynsworth’ which I have been forwarding to all shipmates’ having an active e-mail address, approximately 200+ a few more, of these 200+ only ninety have opted to receive the Haynsworth newsletter exclusively by E-mail. That leaves more than one hundred who receive the Newsletter in both formats. My current mail list for the printed Newsletter now stands at 424. Of this number I am certain that there are shipmates that do have access to e-mail that I do not have. Also, I realize that of those, some may not be able to print out a personal hard copy and therefore wish to continue receiving the printed copy. Anyway, I digress. Bottom line is, it is in the interest of our organization to increase the number of electronic recipients and decrease the number of printed editions. As for the section title above, you will notice this section will only last for the whole of 2014. The Book will have been published by then and all shipmates will be able to purchase their own copy. With this, I will include excerpts from the book beginning with the first ‘This Day in the History of the Haynsworth. Enjoy! Jim, Editor/Treasurer ************************************************************************************** This day in DD 700 History. Dec 31 1944 to Jan 1, 1945 “As 1944 ended, after three years at war, the sacrifices of the American people had brought positive results. Despite rationing of many food items and gasoline, war bond drives, and lack of young male labor, the home front had risen to the occasion. America had produced nearly twelve thousand tanks, ninety six thousand planes, six Fleet Carriers, and seventy Destroyers in 1944 alone. Allied Forces had invaded Europe. The Germans were being pushed back to their own country’s border. Japan’s stronghold on the East was shrinking. The industrial might of America coupled with the strength of its Military and support services meant that it was not a matter if American and Allied Forces would win the war, but when. Commander of the Third Fleet, Admiral Bill “Bull” Halsey, sent New Years greetings to the Task Force via TBS (Talk - Between Ships) voice radio. All who heard his message hoped that 1945 would be the last year of the war. Though the tide for the battle of the Pacific had turned against the Japanese years earlier, they were still a dangerous foe. The Allies plan was to invade the main Japanese home islands in 1946. There was still a feeling amongst the men serving in the steel fleet of the allies that the war might even stretch until 1950. From: “PHALANX Against a Devine Wind, Copyright, 2013. *********************************************************************************** This Day in DD 700 History. Dec 28, 1944 1944 was ending. Six months after commission the USS Haynsworth was on its way to join Task Force 38, the Fast Carrier Task Force, “En-route , in Task Unit 12.5.5, (USS [Charles S.] Sperry DD 697) proceeded independently on various courses and speeds, entering Ulithi, via the Mugai channel. After entering the harbor, we fueled and replenished our supply of ammunition and then anchored in berth 111, Ulithi harbor,” (Note: Berth 111 is on the eastern side of the atoll and not far from the recreation island, Mog – Mog.) ************************************************************************************ This Day in USS Haynsworth DD 700 History: January 3, 1945 “Everything was against them. Damage from anti-aircraft batteries, one wheel locked up in the wing and the other locked down, no way to land on their Carrier deep in enemy territory. The waves below them had been getting bigger all day. The choice was easy, but not desired. LT(jg) Donald Francis Seiz knew that landing in the ocean was their only option.” On this day in 1945, the USS Haynsworth rescued the crew of the TBF Avenger. Their plane had been shot up during attacks against Formosa. Brought aboard were LT(jg) Seix, John Francis Brady RM3/c and gunner C.B. Talbot AMM3/c. They were reunited with Torpedo Squadron 20 aboard the USS Lexington (CV 16). (Ed.

Sleggs MM3/c 56-58 [email protected] Hornell, NY) ( Editor: This comment is in reference to the “This day in the History of the USS Haynsworth series) John writes: Good Morning Jim, I’ve enjoyed reading the E-mails you have sent about the Haynsworth history. I just got back from a trip to Georgia and I’m catching up on my e-mail. As usual, you are doing a great job! Thank you for all that you do. (Ed. Note: Thank You John I appreciate it.) Best Regards, John Sleggs MM3 56-58 ********************************************************************************** (Received Mar. 15 2014 from Marianna Steel, daughter of John Magliocchetti SN 44-45 (D: 9/1/1994) Hi,----- Got your latest excerpt in the mail a couple days ago, thanks so much. This book, (Phalanx Against a Devine Wind), is going to be a great history of a great ship and account of a small piece of National history. But most important, imo, (in my opinion), is that it’ll conjure up mental picture of moments in the lives of those sailors, especially the ones personally important to us. “McAllister and Magliocchetti had returned to the Haynsworth,” That was a piece of one day in their lives-------appeals to my imagination. The remaining shipmates and survivors will love reading this book. Notice the extra “c” in my Dad’s name. When I was in school, I used to drop one of the c’s to make my name shorter----it was SO long! But, we may as well be official to make the Italians happy, eh. It’s a common name in Italy, so I’m told. After my divorce, I gave Dad, out of respect, the choice to make of whether I should go back to the long maiden name or keep ‘Steel’. He told me to keep Steel, saying “your life will be a lot simpler, and all your important documents, tax returns, and credit card(s) are now in that name.” I have enjoyed having a 5-letter name rather than a 13-letter one.

SEE INSERT TO ORDER CHANCES ($2.00 each) NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS! The 2012 Haynsworth Reunion will be held at Albany New York. September 19 to 23, 2012, at the Crown Plaza Albany NY Last year’s Musical Ship’s Wheel, 2011 Reunion Clock was a huge success and highly desired raffle Clock. Based on the responses received, I selected a similar clock for our 2012 Reunion in Albany New York. This Particular clock called “The Americana” plays 18 tunes: America the beautiful; My Country ‘Tis of Thee; Battle Hymn of the Republic; You’re a Grand Old Flag; When the Saints Go Marching In; She wore a Yellow Ribbon; Amazing Grace; In the Garden; Ave Maria,(Hail Mary); How Great Thou art; Jesus Love Me; What a Friend We Have in Jesus; and 6 Christmas melodies; The First Noel; Jingle Bells; Silent Night; Deck the Halls; Joy to the World; and lastly, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The shape is OVAL and 21” high by16” wide. The clock also has a light sensor so the music is not played at night.(so it doesn’t wake you up). On the hour, the clock Face opens and reveals a revolving patriotic display. There is an open window at the bottom of the clock revealing a pendulum movement. The frame of the clock is beautifully finished wood. See last year’s winner, Norm Schultz (44-45) inside this issue.
