  • 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.

  • USS Terror CM-5
    USS Terror CM-5 Album SNAPSHOTS - Captain Richard Spofford Captain Robert Blakeslee SNAPSHOTS HISTORY OF THE USS TERROR CM-5 It would seem, at this point, a brief history of the Terror is in order. Unfortunately the only written history available is the Navy version found in the Dictionary of American Fighting Ships. This recounting of the ship's travels has been widely printed and does not really serve the purpose here. A jiw years back Lois Mickey, wfe of the late Marshall Mickey, sent a short history of the ship. At that time she did not indicate the author or how Marshall came by this piece and I simply filed this away without further thought. The document is dated May 1947, a full year afler most wartime personnel had lefl the ship and five months before decommissioning in November 1947. As a guess, it would appear to have been prepared in a ship S ofJice for the crew as a casual history of the ship. HISTORY OF THE USS TERROR CM-5 First vessel specifically designed as a minelayer, the 6000-ton USS TERROR was constructed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and launched there at 1 100 on 6 June 1941. As the new-type vessel began skidding down the lubricated fabrication of timbers enroute to the Delaware River, Mrs. Ralph A. Bard, wife of the Navy's Assistant Secretary, wielded a gaily beribboned bottle of champagne. TERROR No. 1 had been a double-turreted Monitor-type ship used by the Navy against the Spanish in 1898 and sold by the Navy in 1920.
