You‟D Think, After Some 70+ Years of Searching and Collecting, the Hobby Would Surely Have Rooted out All Existing Navy Ship Covers by Now RMS BULLETIN NO. 561 March/April 2013 by Mike Prero You‟d think, after some 70+ years of searching and collecting, the hobby would surely have rooted out all existing Navy Ship covers by now. But, the discovery of several unlisted navy ship covers within the last 18-24 months, including a Pre-War DQ, prompted me to wonder how many other hitherto unknown ship covers might still be out there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered. Of course, if they‟re as yet undiscovered, we can‟t really tell how many there are. Still, we can speculate...so... As near as I‟ve been able to find, the U.S. Navy+Coast Guard had some 1,000 ships in service on December 7, 1941 [http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ships/ships-alpha.html]. Compared to that, the Pre-War Navy Ship listing lists, or soon will list, known covers from 423 ships, including US Maritime Service). Cross- checking both lists, here are known Pre-War ships for which no covers have yet been found: -USS Aaron Ward (DD-132) -USS Alcor (AG-34) -USS Antaeus (AS-21) -USS Abbott (DD-184) -USS Alcor (AR-10) -USS Antares (AKS-3) -USS Abel P. Upshur (DD-193) -USS Aldebaran (AF-10) -USS Aquamarine (PYc-7) -USS Accentor (AMc-36) -USS Alden (DD-211) -USS Argonne (AG-31) - USS Acme (AMc-61) -Alert (WPC-127) -USS Argus (PY-14) -Active (WPC-125) -Alexander Hamilton (WPG-34) -Ariadne (WPC-101) -USS Acushnet (ATO-63) -USS Algorab (AK-25) -USS Aroostook (CM-3) -USS Adamant (AMc-62) -USS Algorma (ATO-34) -USS Ash (AN-7) -USS Advance (AMc-63) -USS Alhena (AK-26) -Aurora (WPC-103) -USS Affray (AMc-112) -USS Allegheny (ATO-19) -USS AVC-1 (AVC-1) -Agassiz (WPC-126) -USS Allen (DD-66) -USS Avenge (AMc-66) -USS Agate (PYc-4) -USS Aloe (AN-6) -USS Avocet (AVP-4) -USS Aggressor (AMc-64) -USS Amber (PYc-6) -USS Bagaduce (ATO-21) -USS Agile (AMc-111) -USS America (IX-41) -USS Ballard (AVD-10) -USS Albatross (AM-71) -USS American Legion (AP-35) -USS Bancroft (DD-256) -USS Alchiba (AK-23) -USS Amerthyst (PYc-3) -USS Barbet (AMc-38) continued on p.3 RMS Bulletin March/April 2013, No. 561 2 The President’s Message no later than noon on Wednesday, August 21, 2013.

His father Dixon and Wmother Luticia moved with their family from North Carolina (vari- ously, in the late 1820s or early 1830s) and settled on land in Daviess County, Indiana. Carroll (born in 1834 or 1835, depending on the source) grew up on the family farm with his five brothers.

He fought at Shiloh; was wounded at Champion Hill and remained with his regiment through the siege of Vicksburg; reen- listed on December 31, 1863, in Louisiana; and fought almost until the end of the war, mustering out due to multiple disabilities on May 29, 1865.

  • First Hand Accounts of December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor
    First Hand Accounts of December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor William Brown East Carolina University Faculty Mentor: Wade Dudley East Carolina University ABSTRACT This project involves researching and writing a narrative combining the first-hand accounts of sail- ors in the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The goal of the project is to gather the personal accounts provided in oral histories and to synthesize those into a narrative describing the emotions of that morning. This has been accomplished by examining the oral histories provided by five men who graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1941 and survived the Japanese attack. A sixth account is provided by Lt. Alexander B. Coxe, Jr., who was the executive officer aboard the U.S.S Breese. Each individual perspective provides a different angle to the horror that surrounded Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The research highlights the raw emotions as the Japanese planes flew above and the destruction and death surrounding these men. n the morning of December 7, by documenting their memory of the at- O 1941, the naval and aerial forces of tack.

He was the inspiration behind Explorations and the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium, SNCURCS. George was known for his outreach to and support of student researchers- indeed, we feel he was the champion for undergraduate research in our state. We miss his infectious smile and bright, engaging eyes, his energy and excitement. Our hearts go out to his family, and we are glad for the time we shared with him. Volume VI of Explorations is dedicated to the memory of George Barthalmus.
