I hope that all of you are staying safe and well. As you know, we had to cancel our 2020 National Convention in Savannah, GA. However, we are planning to host a limited number of events in remembrance of the 80th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. A luncheon has been planned for Sunday, December 5 at noon at the Hilton Hawaiian Village with guest speaker Daniel Martinez, Pacific Parks Service and Arizona Memorial Historian. We will also have the multitalented Robert Brooks family to provide entertainment. Transportation will be provided to the December 7 remembrance ceremony at the Arizona Visitors Center. Please complete the registration form in this issue of the Offspring and send with your check to Mary Purifoy, National Treasurer. Transportation by bus to the December 7th Memorial Ceremony will be first come first serve. Other events are being planned by the Pacific Park Service. To help coordinate our activities with the Park Service, Kathleen Farley, District 1 Director, has been invited by the Park Service to participate in the planning of these events. Kathleen will keep us posted so that members will know what else is going on and can plan accordingly. I thank all of you who responded to my email regarding your plans to attend the 80th Anniversary events. As you remember, we had an election of officers and proposed changes to the National Constitution and Bylaws in November 2020. I am very proud to announce that you reelected me as your National President and Mary Schiano as your National Vice President for two more years. We will continue to make SDPHS the very best organization to honor our beloved Pearl Harbor Survivors and other military veterans keeping America free. All of the proposed amendments to the National Constitution were also approved. A copy of the amended National Constitution and Bylaws will be available for download on our SDPHS website by midsummer. I am also happy to announce that Eric “Rick” Miller will be continuing as our Offspring Editor. He has done a fantastic job and we owe him our gratitude and a round of applause. Thank you Rick!

    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.
