INDIANA MAGAZINE of HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2
INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2 Hoosier Senior Naval Officers in World War I1 John B. Heffermn* Indiana furnished an exceptional number of senior of- ficers to the United States Navy in World War 11, and her sons were in the very forefront of the nation’s battles, as casualty lists and other records testify. The official sum- mary of casualties of World War I1 for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, covering officers and men, shows for Indiana 1,467 killed or died of wounds resulting from combat, 32 others died in prison camps, 2,050 wounded, and 94 released prisoners of war. There were in the Navy from Indiana 9,412 officers (of this number, probably about 6 per- cent or 555 were officers of the Regular Navy, about 10 per- cent or 894 were temporary officers promoted from enlisted grades of the Regular Navy, and about 85 percent or 7,963 were Reserve officers) and 93,219 enlisted men, or a total of 102,631. In the Marine Corps a total of 15,360 officers and men were from Indiana, while the Coast Guard had 229 offic- ers and 3,556 enlisted men, for a total of 3,785 Hoosiers. Thus, the overall Indiana total for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard was 121,776. By way of comparison, there were about 258,870 Hoosiers in the Army.l There is nothing remarkable about the totals and Indiana’s representation in the Navy was not exceptional in quantity; but it was extraordinary in quality. -

Refer to No. 662 18 13 P-5323a-reg NAVY DEPARTMENT BUREAU OF NAVAL PERSONNEL Washington 24, D. C. 7 October 1944 Mrs. Katherine Agnes Heinrich Live Oak California Dear Mrs. Heinrich: The Navy Department has had numerous requests for information concerning the loss of the USS HELENA (CL 5O). An account of the exploits of that ship was written for publication. Believing that the relatives of the officers and men would like to have it, it was requested that it be reproduced. This Bureau is pleased to forward a copy herewith. It is believed that you will find strength and pride in the knowledge that the gallant fight waged by the officers and men of the USS HELENA against great odds in keeping with the finest traditions of the Navy. By direction of the Chief of Naval Personnel. Sincerely yours, A.C. Jacobs Captain U. S. N. R. Director of the Dependents Welfare Division Encl 1. NAVY DEPARTMENT HOLD FOR RELEASE IN MORNING PAPERS OF SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1943, NOT APPEARING ON THE STREET BEFORE 8 p.m (E.W.T.), OCTOBER 23, 1943 THE STORY OF THE USS HELENA Snatched from the sea and the steaming yap-infested South Pacific jungle, nearly 1,000 men of the lost USS HELENA today stand fit and ready to fight again. The story of their rescue by destroyers after their ship went down fighting to the end in Kula Gulf July 7, 1943, which has been told in part, like the history of the HELENA herself, will live always as an inspiration to new generations of American sea-fighters. -

The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943 A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeff T. Reardon August 2008 © 2008 Jeff T.

Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night. -

Capt. Steve J. Coughlin, Director of Professional Development at the United States Naval Academy, shares with us a speech he made at the Naval Academy in which he honors David DuBrul, Commanding Officer of USS LCI 553, for his leadership and professional skill at the landings on Omaha Beach, Normandy, on D-Day. To my knowledge we have never before had such a tribute to an LCIer from a senior officer holding an important position at Annapolis. aboutourCover: “The business end of an LCI Gunboat” That’s the description Connie Mulherin (seated in the pointer’s seat of that bow 40mm) likes to give about LCI(G) 561. In his story of his WWII service, A Wartime Sailor, Connie describes his ship thusly: “The 561 was altered to a rocket carrying landing craft by removing the two ramps and replacing them with a battery of rocket launchers. -
The Jerseyman
2nd Quarter 2006 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN USS NEW JERSEY VIETNAM… US Navy Photo courtesy of RADM J. E. Snyder, Jr., USN/Ret. 2 THE JERSEYMAN Editor’s Notes: The Battleship Era… With Congress having approved the striking of USS IOWA and USS WISCONSIN as reserve mobilization assets, the way is now clear for the last 2 IOWA-Class battleships to become museums. As a tribute to battleships in future issues, The Jerseyman is asking former battleship CO’s, Naval Historians, and others to participate with their thoughts about our battleships, and we’re hopeful that most will take us up on it. We have also asked our much appre- ciated cartoonist Hamp Law - USS TENNESSEE (BB-43,) to create a few new cartoons in tribute to those old “Battleship Days” ...stay tuned. - USMC and Battleships… In the March 1969 issue of “U. S. Naval Institute Proceedings” an article appeared that described well what the battleships have meant to our Marines. With the kind permission of “Proceedings,” it is reprinted in this issue ... - Korean War… Once again, thanks to former Photographers Mate 3/c John Hastings of Appleton, Wisconsin, and Battleship New Jersey Archives Manager Bob Walters, we are including more of how John viewed the Korean War as a ship’s photographer serving aboard USS NEW JERSEY . - Boot camp... When we recall boot camp days from the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s, we might remember the leggings/cartridge belts, Springfield ‘03 dummy rifles, abandon ship drills off the high tower into the pool, and firefighting drills inside a concrete building doused with oil and set afire.. -

An organization with many, diverse stakeholders, each with differing needs, interests, and goals. 3. An organization in which responsibility for accomplishing the mission is separated from financial and other control obligations. 4. An organization that has had years of preparation. 5. An organization that is faced with sudden, unanticipated technological and other external change. 6.
