The history of this bell began over a century ago. The bell is inscribed USS New Mexico 1918. The date reflects the May 20, 1918 commissioning of USS New Mexico. If New Mexico was placed on the plaza before us, it would tower 150 feet above us, and its 624 foot length would stretch nearly the distance from the bell to Mitchell Hall. Armed with a main battery of twelve 14-inch guns, New Mexico was the first battleship to be powered by a revolutionary turbo-electric drive system of propulsion. The ship was a marvel of technology; so much so that New Mexico was often called the “Wonder Ship.” Ship’s bells served both practical and ceremonial functions. If there was a fire, the bell would sound an alarm. A ship’s bell would also be rung in fog or low visibility to warn other ships. When New Mexico was commissioned, ship’s bells were designed to ring in different keys, with the lower the key the larger the ship. As an 800 pound bell, this bell was likely tuned to the key of b flat. If you were at sea on a dark and foggy night and heard a bell in the key of b flat, it might well mean that the 32,000 ton USS New Mexico was heading your way. New Mexico was on neutrality patrol in the Atlantic on December 7, 1941. Because of that, New Mexico avoided the fate of the battleships of the Pacific Fleet. After Pearl Harbor, the aircraft carrier became the dominant naval ship. However, New Mexico and the other aging battleships played a vital role using their big guns to support the island invasions that were the hallmark of the Pacific War. New Mexico earned six battle stars for her World War II service, and suffered two devastating kamikaze attacks in which 86 men were killed. New Mexico was decommissioned on July 19, 1946. While sources disagree to the exact date, according to the March 16, 1948 issue of the New Mexico Lobo, this bell came to the state in 1945, and was placed in the basement of the old Capital Building, what is now the Bataan Memorial Building. Governor Mabry was faced with a dilemma because he had Page 3 NM Nautical News WINTER 2018 www.nmnavyleague.com two requests for that bell, one from the American Legion Post in Santa Fe, and the other from Alpha Phi Omega at UNM. Fortunately, there had been two bells on the battleship, and when the Navy agreed to give the state the second bell in November of 1947, the path was opened for this bell to come to UNM, opening a new chapter in the history of the bell. Alpha Phi Omega used a truck to bring the 800 pound bell to UNM on Saturday, March 13, 1948. The bell was placed in the west tower of the Administration building as a memorial to the men and women who served during World War II. The bell was dedicated on April 17, 1948, and it was to be rung during the Fiesta and on holidays. The second chapter of the bell’s history at UNM began in 1964.

    December 2003 THE JERSEYMAN To our United States Armed Forces From the volunteers of USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and Thank You for your service God Bless America 2 THE JERSEYMAN DECEMBER 2003 HISTORY OF U.S.S. NEW JERSEY ... “TYPHOON COBRA,” DECEMBER 18, 1944 - Thousands of US sailors serving aboard the 130 plus ships of Task Force 38, rode out a terrible storm on December 18, 1944, and it is sadly remembered today as “Typhoon Cobra.” This storm resulted in 3 capsized destroyers, the loss of 790 men, the total destruction of 146 badly needed combat aircraft, and brought crippling dam- age to many ships. Especially hard hit were the CVL’s (Light Aircraft Carriers,) and CVE’s (Escort Carriers.) At the time, USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) was serving as fleet flagship for Task Force 38, and was under the command of Admiral William “Bull” Halsey. Today, as The Jerseyman commemorates this tragic World War 2 event, we are privileged to include stories of the storm as it was experienced by many of the sailors who were there. During our typhoon research, we were also fortunate to have had contact with Mr. Richard A. Strand, brother of lost USS SPENCE crewman Robert L. Strand. Mr. Strand has compiled an extensive amount of material about his brother’s ship. He graciously shared this information with The Jerseyman, and for many years, has offered his efforts at no cost, to the families of USS SPENCE crewmen. Along with the USS SPENCE’s history, his research contains many operating charts for the ship, and an excerpt from the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC), that USS SPENCE had received as part of Arleigh Burke’s famous “Little Beaver” Destroyer Squadron (DesRon) 23.

    USS Franklin (CV-13) USS Franklin (CV/CVA/CVS-13, AVT-8), nicknamed "Big Ben," was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy, and the fifth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in January 1944, she served in several campaigns in the Pacific War, earning four battle stars. She was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in March 1945, with the loss of over 800 of her crew, becoming the most heavily damaged United States aircraft carrier to survive the war.[1] Movie footage of the actual attack was included in the 1949 film Task Force starring Gary Cooper. USS Franklin under way After the attack, she returned to the U.S. mainland for near the Marianas, 1 August 1944 repairs, missing the rest of the war; she was decommissioned in 1947.

  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.
