  • A Navy Doctor at War I
    “Experiences at Sea”: A Navy Doctor at War I William P. McEvoy Abstract This article identifies a significant hole in the literature of World War II. Few works discuss the everyday life of medical personnel and fewer still detail the lives of naval medical providers; those that do tend to focus on the exciting and bloody aspects of a medico at war. Filling this gap, this article argues that the most accurate picture of life at war should include life’s routine features and then describes the everyday experiences of a U.S. Navy doctor in the Pacific from September 1944 to December 1945, whose daily existence was far different from and more typical than the one most often portrayed. he image of the courageous corpsman rushing in where “angels fear to tread” dominates the landscape of World War Two medical history. Most of the numerousT studies of the Second World War do not adequately examine military medicine’s extensive contribution to the war effort, although scholars have shown an increased interest in illustrating the social aspects of military life in recent decades. Historians of the Second World War are now examining, often in great detail, what the ordinary, routine, noncombat existence of the sailor, soldier, airman, or Marine was really like.1 But unfortunately these studies, which often claim to describe the realities of wartime life, generally neglect to include any 1. Peter Schrijvers looks at this subject in some detail in his The GI War Against Japan: Amer- ican Soldiers in Asia and the Pacific During World War II (New York: New York University Press, 2002), as do Gerald F.

  • Uncovering the Behavior of Hydrogen in Metals
    /on Implantation and /on Beam Analysis Uncovering the Behavior of Hydrogen in Metals Hydrogen (it means "maker of water" in Greek) is a ubiquitous element - it con• stitutes fully three quarters of the matter in the universe and is present in vast quan• tities on the surface of the earth as the Hz in H20. But it wasn't recognized as a separate substance until1766 when Henry Cavendish, the English chemist and physicist, demon• strated that hydrogen was distinct from other combustible gases. (The element was called phlogiston then, Greek for "in• flammable air.") Deuterium and tritium, two heavier iso• topes of hydrogen with nucleii that have neutrons in addition to the single proton characteristic of the element, were dis• covered in 1931 and 1935 respectively. All three forms of hydrogen have more re• cently become widely used in such tech• nologies as chemical processing and fusion energy. They're widely used, but they share a troublesome characteristic - their strong and complicated interaction with metals. For the past five years Sam Myers, supervisor of Ion Implantation Physics Division 1112, and his colleagues in Dept. 1110 have been investigating the ways in which hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium THREE PIONEERS in ion implantation research pose in front of the accelerator in the lon lmpiC\litation Physics interact with metals. These studies employ Laboratory . From the left, Tom Picraux (1111 ), Fred Vook (11 00), and Paul Peercy (111 0). novel methods based on the use of high• energy ion accelerators. Through ion im• plantation, hydrogen and other elements are injected directly into materials.

  • October 2004
    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.
