  • Dd215 Borie Link
    A Fight to the Death: The USS Borie, 31 October to 2 November 1943 She had been designed for an earlier war. Launched in 1919, the USS Borie had been the ultimate in destroyer design. She was fast – capable of up to 35 knots (40 mph) and well armed for the time with four 4” guns, a bank of 21” torpedo tubes and depth charges. By 1943, though, she was showing her age. Borie and her sisters could keep up with the new Fast Carriers in terms of speed but little else. Newer and far more powerful designs were coming out in flocks (the Navy would commission well over one hundred of the Fletcher class alone during WWII) and nothing else would do to escort the fast-stepping and long-legged carriers across the vast Pacific. She did wind up as a carrier escort, though. She and two of her sisters, USS Goff and USS Barry were assigned to be part of a hunter-killer task group, Task Group 21.14. centered around the USS Card, an escort carrier. The escort carrier concept arose to fill in gaps in air coverage for convoys crossing the U-Boat-infested Atlantic. Unlike their larger and more glamorous kin, the escort carriers (CVE) were built on merchant or tanker hulls with a flight deck and a small “island” structure nailed on top. They usually carried 21 aircraft: nine or ten “Widcat” fighters and a dozen or so “Avenger” torpedo bombers rigged to carry depth-charges. Running flat out, with everything open but the toolbox, a CVE could make about 20 knots.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.
