I would like to introduce myself to the CDSG membership as your chairperson for the next year. In my first letter to the group, I’d Coast Defense Study Group Annual Conference like to address comments in the 2011 Member Survey Responses, May 10-15, 2012 as published in the last edition of the newsletter. The comments Great Lake Forts that struck home with me were ones referring to the need for more John Weaver, [email protected] action / activity / site contact by the CDSG as an organization. Some quotes: “more preservation activities,” “would like to see Coast Defense Study Group Annual Conference more activities in my region,” “more preservation,” “outreach to May 2013 site owners,” “would like to see more active participation by the Pensacola/Mobile membership,” “more CDSG organized or sponsored work parties… David Ogden, [email protected] such as was done at Fort Washington,” “CDSG needs to impact the local forts”. Coast Defense Study Group Special Tour In response to these kinds of comments, one of the main goals June 2013 I see for the CDSG is increased activism.

2005 April.Pub
April May June 2005 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN WORLD WAR TWO... “13 April 1945 0645… Battle Announcer gives news flash of President Roosevelt’s death yesterday. It came as a great surprise, the Nation and Navy suffered a great loss…” From the USS NEW JERSEY diary of Chief Petty Officer Victor P. Feltes 2 WORLD WAR 2/THE JERSEYMAN USS LEWIS HANCOCK (DD-675) December 27, 2004 From: John H. Hoagland, Lt., jg., USNR (Retired) Re: Accuracy of the big 16-inch guns The New Jersey seldom fired its big16-inch guns during WWII. I can attest to the accuracy of those guns, however, because I was aboard the destroyer Lewis Hancock when it was used for target practice by the New Jersey. During September 1944, the destroyer Lewis Hancock and another destroyer escorted the New Jersey from Pearl Harbor to Manus, Admiralty Islands as Admiral Halsey returned to command the Third Fleet. En route, the New Jersey wanted to test the accuracy of the16-inch guns. To do this, they sent the Lewis Hancock to the hori- zon and fired at us - theoretically, with an offset in their fire control computer. Aboard the Hancock, we observed the New Jersey guns fire. With apprehension and fingers crossed saw the large shells coming at us. The computer offset worked! The shells from the New Jersey landed in the center of the wake created by the Lewis Hancock. Those guns were very accurate. They could have blown us out of the water with one salvo. -
