MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT December 2018 A message from the President Greetings, The year 2018 is quickly coming to an end. Almost hate to see it go as it was a very good year for the Museum. Thanks to our Member's dues, some generous contributions from members, and donations from visitors, we were able to upgrade our internet service and computers, and make lighting and numerous other improvements to displays. We do have a costly project upcoming. As mentioned in the April 2018 Scuttlebutt, a severe wind and rain storm damaged the flat roof covering most of the Museum causing water damage to the library ceiling. The roof has been replaced. The damaged WW II era library ceiling will be removed and replaced with modern materials within the next John Cecil month or two. We will still end the year financially sound and confident that we will be able to make any emergency repairs, continue to make improvements to the Museum, and hopefully save some funds towards our goal of a much needed addition to the building. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a New Year that is happy, healthy and prosperous. On this Christmas day let's all say a prayer for our troops that can't be home with families and loved ones. They are doing a great job of preventing the spread of terrorism and protecting our freedoms. Please say a prayer for their safe return home. John The Museum Needs Volunteers The Museum lost two Board members in the past couple of months with the death of Bud Farmer and Millie Smith moving from the area. We need to replace those Board Members. Also, our Vice President and our Treasurer will be giving up those positions in the next month or two. We need volunteers for those positions. Additionally, we need volunteers to prepare our newsletter "Scuttlebutt," manage our web site "http://milseasvcmuseum.org/," and to keep track of our membership and their dues. To volunteer and/or to obtain information on these positions contact John Cecil, 863-385-2270, or Gene Kissner, 863-382-4047, or the Museum, 863-385-0992.

The Mr. Charles Wiggins Reverend Ron Degenaro, St. John's Methodist Church and Father Scott Walker, St. Agnes Episcopal Church provided the invocation and benediction prayers.

NAVY HERITAGE! Trivia: What ship during the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 had the most "Medal of Honor" recipients?! ANSWER: USS California BB-44.....four! On 7 December 1941, anchored a short distance behind the other battleships was the USS California, a ship considered to be behind not only in positioning at anchor but in its readiness for war. Other Sailors joked that the USS California couldn't pass an admiral's inspection. On a day full of the unexpected, more men aboard the USS California would earn Medals of Honor than any other ship. The big guns of the USS California were firing back at the enemy planes targeted her and continued to strafe her decks with bullets MM1 ROBERT R. SCOTT: Machinist's Mate First Class Robert R. SCOTT was assigned to work in the compartment containing the air compressor. Suddenly he felt the USS California tremble as an enemy torpedo ripped through her side. Water rushed into the gaping wound in the USS California's side, making its way to the compartment where MM1 Scott worked. Above he could hear that, despite the severe damage to the USS California, the big anti- aircraft guns were still firing. The flooding in the compartment was swift and dangerous. The other crew members turned to flee to safety, urging MM1 Scott to follow them. He replied, "This is my station and I will stay and give them air (the men above) as long as the guns are going." The guns kept going, MM1 Scott kept supplying air, and the water continued to flood the ship.

    MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT December 2017 A message from the President Greetings, The year 2017 was another good year for the Museum. Thanks to our Member's dues, a substantial contribution from our most generous member and contributions from a couple of local patriotic organizations, we will end the year financially sound and feeling confident that we will be able to make any emergency repairs and continue to make improvements to the Museum. As reported in previous Scuttlebutts, most of our major projects have been completed. Our upgraded security system with motion activated cameras inside the Museum and outside the shed John Cecil should be completed this month. The construction of a concrete structure for the mid-1600s British Admiralty Cannon should be completed early next year. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a New Year that is happy, healthy and prosperous. On this Christmas day let's all say a prayer for our troops that can't be home with families and loved ones. They are doing a great job of preventing the spread of terrorism and protecting our freedoms. Please say a prayer for their safe return home.

Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial (National Park Service Photo by Jayme Pastoric) Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy." The Arizona's burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. Indelibly impressed into the national memory, the image could be recalled by most Americans when they heard the battle cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor." More than a million people visit the USS Arizona Memorial each year. They file quietly through the building and toss flower wreaths and leis into the water. They watch the iridescent slick of oil that still leaks, a drop at a time, from ruptured bunkers after more than 50 years at the bottom of the sea, and they read the names of the dead carved in marble on the Memorial's walls.

    THE WEEPING MONUMENT: A PRE AND POST DEPOSITIONAL SITE FORMATION STUDY OF THE USS ARIZONA by Valerie Rissel April, 2012 Director of Thesis: Dr. Brad Rodgers Major Department: Program in Maritime History and Archaeology Since its loss on December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona has been slowly leaking over 9 liters of oil per day. This issue has brought about conversations regarding the stability of the wreck, and the possibility of defueling the 500,000 to 600,000 gallons that are likely residing within the wreck. Because of the importance of the wreck site, a decision either way is one which should be carefully researched before any significant changes occur. This research would have to include not only the ship and its deterioration, but also the oil’s effects on the environment. This thesis combines the historical and current data regarding the USS Arizona with case studies of similar situations so a clearer picture of the future of the ship can be obtained.
