    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.

Reardon August 2008 © 2008 Jeff T. Reardon All Rights Reserved ii This dissertation titled The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943 by JEFF T. REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. 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.

  • Days of Steel Rain Press Release
    AN INTIMATE TRUE ACCOUNT OF AMERICANS AT WAR, DAYS OF STEEL RAIN IS AN EPIC DRAMA ABOUT AN UNLIKELY GROUP OF MEN FORCED TO WORK TOGETHER IN THE FACE OF AN INCREASINGLY DESPERATE ENEMY DURING THE FINAL YEAR OF WORLD WAR II During the late stages in the Pacific Theatre of World War II, U.S. Navy Captain George Dyer, wounded in action, vowed to return for one last chance to avenge his injuries and salvage his career. In 1944 he accepted an assignment on the light cruiser USS Astoria, named for her sunken predecessor. This was a “vengeance ship” whose mission was to avenge that sunken warship lost during the worst sea defeat in American naval history. DAYS OF STEEL RAIN (5/11/21; Hachette Books; 9780316451109; $32) introduces a major new voice in naval history. Brent Jones brings to life more than a decade of research and firsthand interviews. The result is an at once intimate and epic drama about an unlikely group of men forced to work together in the face of an increasingly desperate enemy during the final year of World War II. Just getting into action would prove to be a battle. Dyer’s crew was comprised of late-war draftees, disciplinary castoffs, and broken veterans of previous traumatic combat. Most had no desire to be in the war, yet all found themselves fighting an enemy more afraid of surrender than death. The new ship herself proved a further liability–the product of a failing shipyard torn by labor strife, shoddy craftsmanship, and materiel shortages.
