EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS HARTFORD
To Connecticut Naval Veterans of World War II:
Connecticut has a great seafaring tradition. In every war her men have fought gallantly for freedom. In days of peace her sons have officered and manned ships that have carried our American commerce everywhere in the world. Connecticut people are proud of that tradition.
In this greatest of all wars just ended you, as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully maintained that tradition. Indeed, you have raised it to new glorious heights. You have added to that enduring list, started when Midshipman Nathaniel Fanning of Stonington took part in the historic encoun­ter
of John Paul Jones' Bon Homme Richard and HMS Serapis in 1779, immortal names - Macassar Straits, Java, Guadalcanal, Savo Island, Coral Sea, Santa Cruz, Midway and Lunga Point.
To the lot of some of you fell the burden of the train­ing
and supply services at home and in ports, great and obscure, the world over. In fact, there are now new ports for the air arm and for the fleet, some of which will endure as monuments to that new arm of the Navy, the Seabees.
Your fellow citizens in Connecticut are proud of your
service.
Yours very s i n c e r e l y,
Governor HERE ARE THEIR STORIES
War correspondents of World War II frequently embellished and often overwrote the action stories of modest sailors. The aggregate result pleased editors, made headlines, and, on occasion, embarrassed the sailors. In retaliation, the correspondents and their victims were labelled, in characteristic service language, " Joe Blow". Actually, the " Joe Blows" were few and far between in this war. The purpose of these stories is to record without embellishment, the mood, the impressions, the exciting events, of the worst and best of the great days, before time blurs memories with resulting confusion as to events, dates and places. These are Navy men's stories, here recorded as near verbatim as possible in their own words— The Editor.
Ackerman, Arthur, SF 1/ c, 70th Seabees, Elmwood.
" When the marines and soldiers hit the beaches we went in with them. Our job was to build big causewaj^ s out from the beaches, which made it possible to bring stuff in over the reefs from ships lying outside. It was something the Japs had never figured on, and it helped us get heavy weapons and supplies on to the beaches a lot quicker than they ever thought we could. We built causeways at Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Ie Shima."
Andrechuk, Walter, S 2/ c, Argentia, Newfoundland Air Base, Ansonia.
" Argentia was a big stop- over point for planes crossing the Atlantic in either di­rection.
There were plenty of big shots from the American and other govern­ments
who landed at our field. It was a huge set- up and thousands of planes went through a year. I had 20 months up there and a lot of it was interesting duty. It seemed strange to get so used to seeing planes come in and go out on a clockwork schedule, like trains in a big terminal in peacetime days."
AnselL James C, FCO 3/ c, Tanker Neehes, Middletown.
" Refueling ships at sea from a tanker especially in bad weather, was dangerous enough, but we really found out what thrills were when Jap planes were coming after us. We were at Leyte, Iwo and Okinawa in the invasions and luck was with us until the Okinawa show. The planes missed us there but ran into a
mine. The bow was damaged but the ship stayed in one piece and our cargo didn't blow up. That was about close enough for me."
Bazydlo, Henry W., CM 3/ c, Armed Guard, New Britain.
" I had both sea and land duty, working on opposite sides of the globe. I was with the Navy armed guard on merchant ships which went to Europe, North Africa, Sicily and other points over there. After 20 months of that, I got land duty. But it was at Guam, way out in the Pacific, where I worked at an anti- aircraft train­ing
center that had been set up there.''
Bonaventura, Louis J., SF 2/ c, CBM U- 594, Bridgeport.
" Engebi isn't a very big island, but we built and maintained one of the best air­fields
in the Marshalls there. Life was mighty dull though after 10 months of it. It was much more interesting at Guam, where we maintained a naval supply depot. It was a big depot, supplying many outfits in the Pacific and there was plenty of work to keep us hopping all the time."
Cappellacci, Americo A., F 1/ c, Battleship Arkansas, Derby.
" I was in two invasions with the Arkansas, the ones at Iwo Jima and Okin­awa.
We poured an awful lot of shells into both places, blowing up Jap gun em­placements
and defense positions. Even though the Arkansas was a battleship we went in very close at both islands, so close it seemed we could almost walk
3 ashore without getting our feet very wet. Our guns could throw out that steel mighty fast and we tossed an awful lot at the Japs. I was glad to be behind those guns instead of on the receiving end."
Dambowsky, Walter F., AMM 3/ c, Plane Repair Units, Waterbury.
" My two years in the Navy included moving from one place to another all over the United States, either going to school or working with plane repair units. The longest stretch at any one place was at Quonset Point. We worked on planes of all kinds but there seemed to be more torpedo bombers than anything else."
Dinsdale, Frederick, Jr., PhM 1/ c, Marine Raiders, Putnam.
" Out of three years in the Pacific, I had my most exciting times while serving as a hospital corpsman with the Marine Raiders. I was with them in the fighting at Guadalcanal and Tulagi, and what fighting men they were. I was also in the landings at the Russell Islands. Later, with other Marine units I was in the invasions of Kwajalein in the Marshalls, and Guam. North Africa was another place I hit, going in there with a unit of Rangers. I'm mighty lucky to have come through it all without a scratch."
Garvey, Thomas J., RM 3/ c, De­stroyer
Escort Wesson, Hartford.
" Okinawa was the eighth campaign for the Wesson and we'd already taken care of our share of Japs. At Okinawa a Jap suicide plane crashed us. The damage was bad enough to send the ship back to the States for repairs but it could have been a great deal worse. The Jap plane crashed right into our torpedo tubes, but luckily the torpedoes were all on safety and didn't go off."
Gauthier, William I., MoMM 3/ c, Seaplane Tender San Pablo, Waterbury.
" The San Pablo was a mother ship for
PBMs and PBYs. Those big flying boats took off on search, patrol and bombing missions all over the Pacific. We moved our headquarters several times, going from the South and Southwest Pacific up to the Philippines. The plane squadrons could patrol thousands of square miles of ocean each day and no Jap ship could come within hundreds of miles without their knowing it."
Gilbert, Earl C., AMM 1/ c, Air- Sea Rescue Det. Fleet Air Wing 2, Hartford.
" I was in the first air- sea rescue unit to operate in the Pacific. It was a detach­ment
first, but later it was enlarged to a full squadron, operating from such places as Canton, Johnston, Phoenix and Christ­mas
Islands. I did considerable flying in our PBYs. I left the outfit in February 1944 and on my second tour in the Pacific I was with the Naval Air Transport Service. NATS planes flew in the first whole blood to Okinawa and they evacuat­ed
many of the wounded from there to hospitals in the rear zones and to the States."
Gravino, Albert J., AM 3/ c, Barber's Point, Hawaii, Naval Air Station, Man­chester.
" I was at Hawaii when the Japs sur­rendered.
From then until I finally started for home in November was a long, long time to sweat out. There were times when
THREE OF THE FLEET
USS YOUNG — This 2,100 ton destroyer ( top) did convoy work in the Atlantic, shelled the Kuri- les, and saw action at Mindoro, Lingayen Gulf, San Narcisco and Mindanao.
USS PILOT — One of the trim two- stack minesweepers of the Raven Class, steel hulled, twin screwed, and powered with diesel- electric machinery, the sweepers did valient work, were seldom mentioned in the news.
USS ARKANSAS — Last of the once famous 12- inch gunned dreadnaughts, the thirty three- year old battleship was overhauled since picture shown here and modernized in many respects.

I wondered if the good word would ever come. Hawaii is a lovely place, all right, but I wanted no part of it when I knew that the war was all over. What I wanted to do was get home."
Hemphill, George E., S 1/ c, Naval Advance Base, Tulagi, Berlin.
" I went all the way out to the Solomons to join the fire department. I spent 16 months at the Navy Base on Tulagi, just a few miles away from Guadalcanal. There's a big harbor there and ships of all kinds came in for fuel, supplies and repairs. We had some occasional small fires on the island but none gave us too much trouble and we put them out pretty quickly."
Hoczyk, Felix J., MM 2/ c, 47th Sea- bees, New Britain.
" Those South Pacific islands were no place to be on duty. They were worse than ever after the fighting moved away from there. Ours was a heavy equipment repair unit and we were based at New Caledonia and at Munda, New Georgia. Later I joined the 1007th Detachment in the New Hebrides. Down there they worked us seven days a week, every week. They had a whistle and everything. Our machinery could handle repairs on any kind of heavy equipment and they sent us stuff from all over to be fixed."
Holliday, William F., EM 2/ c, 146th Seabees, Mystic.
" We went in early at Normand}' and served as a supply outfit for many Navy units operating there. It was hot work for a while but we completed our assignment okay. Before going to Europe, I'd spent 14 months in Iceland with the 28th Sea- bees. After Europe I went out to the Pacific to Okinawa where we also handled a supply depot. I'd seen enough of the world to suit me for a while when I finally headed for home and a discharge."
Holodnak, John W., S 1/ c, Mine­sweeper
74, Bridgeport.
" I was on the 74 for a year, working in several parts of the Atlantic. Then I went aboard the YMS- 105, where I spent 18 months. Most of that time was in the Atlantic but we headed for the Pacific and were ready for work there when the war ended. We were at Guam when our ship was called back to the States. The 74 and the 105 both did a lot of mine clearing but got through it without any damage."
Johnson, George O., Cox, EST- 682. Forestville.
" I can always say that my ship was in two of the biggest invasions of the war, one in the Atlantic and one in the Pacific. The 682 went in at Normandy in the biggest invasion over there, and she also went in at Okinawa in the last big invasion of the whole war. We took a lot of air attacks at both places, but the 682 just wasn't the ship to get hit. The Germans and the Japs came close to us, but close ones didn't count."
Karpavich, John J., S 1/ c, Destroyer Escort Major, Waterbury.
" I served with both the Army and the Navy in World War II. I was with the old 102d Regiment of the National Guard and served with it when it was part of the Army in ' 41 and ' 42. I was discharged because of age and then joined the Navy. I did 30 months in the Navy, with 22 months aboard the Major. We were in the Atlantic for a year, then moved over to the Pacific, working around New Guinea, the Philippines, Okinawa and Japan. We were with the Fleet in Tokyo Bay for the Jap surrender. Here's a funny thing: The first island we stopped at in the Pacific was Bora Bora, where the 102d had been stationed. However, when we got there the Navy had taken over the island and I didn't see any of my old Guard buddies."

Kobos, Henry E.,, WT 2/ c, Escort Carrier Kwajalein, East Hartford.
" I was with the Kwajalein from the time she was commissioned in June 1944. It was our job to supply planes wherever they were needed and doing that took us all over the Pacific. We brought planes to big islands and little islands, as well as to carriers. We brought in hundreds of planes for the Third Fleet at different times. The Japs didn't give us much trouble but we did run into some mighty tough typhoons. The weather was so bad sometimes that it didn't seem possible any ship could stay afloat."
MacNeil, John E., GM 3/ c, LST- 335, Rocky Hill.
" I didn't have much shore duty during my time in the Navy, spending 20 of my 22 months on sea duty. I was with the 335 in the invasion of Normandy. We brought in troops and also tons of heavy equipment, including tanks and other big stuff. There were ships all over the place when we hit Normandy. It must have been a mighty discouraging sight for the Germans when they saw the hundreds of them, from battlewagons down to assault craft."
Maio, Frank A., QM 2/ c, LST- 335, Branford.
" D- Day at Normandy was my biggest thrill. We moved right in and landed our troops that day and that night we began unloading the heavy equipment we had aboard for the ground troops. The Ger­mans
sent a lot of planes over but there were plenty of our own planes up there too. We were just one of hundreds of ships, but just the same it was exciting to bring in troops who were landing to fight their way across Europe right into Ger­many."
Marcham, John N., RdM 3/ c, De­stroyer
Samuel Moore, Plainville.
" I went into Yokohama on a liberty but there wasn't much to see. Much of the town had been all flattened out by our bombings. I hadn't thought I'd go ashore in Japan so easily. The Moore worked with the Third Fleet all over the Pacific. We were credited with three Jap planes and didn't take any damage ourselves. I was on sea duty for 18 of my 22 months in the Navy."
Meade, David F., FC 3/ c, Battleship Alabama, Hartford.
" For a big ship, the Alabama could really move around. She was in plenty of battles and invasions and didn't get hit at all. After duty on a ship like that, it seemed an endless trip when I came home from the Pacific in an LST that took 51 days. I thought we'd never make it, but we finally did. I was glad to have the chance to go into Tokyo Bay with the Alabama before starting for home. It gave me a big thrill."
Mei, Nelson E., PhM 3/ c, Naval Hospitals, New Haven.
" Working as a lab technician in base hospitals and at the Naval Medical Center didn't give me a chance to get much in the way of sea stories. Even if you threw salt water on me, I couldn't tell you one. I was land based most of the time and only made trips to sea on hospital ships in order to transfer casu­alties.
The duty wasn't too bad except that there was a little too much chicken to suit me. Still, all in all, it wasn't the worst deal that a guy could get in war time, but I would never do it in peace time. I'm a career man, but not in the Navy."
Moorhouse, William A., PhM 3/ c, LST- 632, Manchester.
" The LST I was stationed on was con­verted
into a hospital ship. They did a good job of it, too. We had all kinds of
7
modern equipment and we had the best facilities for taking care of wounded and sick men. Many a hospital in the States would have been glad to have some of the equipment we used. The Navy tried to make sure that patients got the best of everything.'
Olesweski, John W., S 1/ c, LST- 336, Wethersfield.
" The 336 had some exciting moments in the time I was on her, but I got home all right and I'm not kicking. In my nine months aboard her, she was in the ETO. Later I did five months more sea duty on the Xenia. Those LSTs may not be very pretty but they did a swell job and they helped a great deal in the winning of the war."
Panilaitis, George E., M 1/ c, Ship Repair Unit, Watertown.
" Being a first class metalsmith my job was to take charge of a group of ship repair men. I spent most of the time at Samar in the Philippine group and there were plenty of ships that needed repairs as the invasion was a costly one. I didn't see any action while I was there so I am rather fortunate."
Sadlon, John M., Cox, LST- 372, Derby.
" They called the 372 one of the luckiest ships afloat. It wasn't only those aboard her who called her that; it was sailors on ships all over the Atlantic. She had close ones, all kinds of close ones, but neither German subs nor planes could ever get her. She went right into Omaha Beach at Normandy with troops and equipment and got them in there without a scratch. I don't know how many bombs just missed us, but there were too many of them any­way."
Smith, Carleton E., M 2/ c, Henrico, West Haven.
" We were up at Okinawa early, taking
part in the pre- invasion bombardment of the island. During a Kamikaze attack one of the suicide planes crashed into us. The casualties were pretty heavy and the ship was badly damaged. I was on the Henrico for 13 months, going aboard after eight months on the Alcor, a destroyer tender, which did duty in the Atlantic. Those Kamikaze boys were really tough."
Smith, Milton S., QM 2/ c, LST- 534, Middle town.
" The biggest moment in my tour of sea duty came in the invasion of Nor­mandy.
There was enough excitement for a lifetime in those days. Helping to land the troops who crashed through into Germany is an experience that I'll never forget. I was called back to become a navigation instructor down at Norfolk and I came from there for my discharge."
Smith, William A., GM 2/ c, Armed Guard, West Haven.
" I don't have much to say except that I'm almost a civilian and glad of it. Just tell the folks I am back. No, I didn't see much action but I did a lot of sailing. I sailed on the Shelton Clark, Quaker Hill, William Johnson, Yamhill and the Harri­son.
I've been around plenty and seen all I want to see of everything. I'm going to spend some time seeing the U. S. A. now."
Soderburg, Howard L., BM 1/ c, Base Hospital Unit 4, West Hartford.
" The people in New Zealand are just about the friendliest in the world. I spent 23 months down there and they just couldn't have been more pleasant. It's a great country all right. The New Zealand- ers are very much like Americans and their lives are much the same as ours. While down there I was with a fire- fighting unit and we were proud of a record of never letting a fire spread to any extent. Back in the States, I was in charge of an oiler at San Diego and what a lot of worry
s that job was. It was no joke maneuvering around a harbor full of ships with a dangerous cargo."
Soltis, Andrew, S 1/ c, Naval Aviation Supply, Bridgeport.
" Working mostly at Hawaii and Guam, we furnished supplies of all kinds for Navy planes. Most of the stuff was for carrier planes of the Fleet. We had huge amounts of everything they needed and it was for us to see to it that they got it as quickly as possible. We kept close tabs on what Navy planes were doing and we got a kick each time they got some more Jap ships or raided Jap islands or cities. Those Navy planes really gave it to the Nips all the way across the Pacific, right back to Tokyo."
Starkey, Robert C, S 1/ c ( SM), Armed Guard, Milford.
" By the time I finished sea duty I thought I knew just about every wave in the Atlantic Ocean. I had 30 months at sea, serving with the armed guard on five different merchant ships. I was on the Charles C. Jones for 10 months, the longest time I was on any one ship. They seemed to be lucky ships, at least for me, because I came out of it all right."
Therrien, Howard J., S 1/ c, Albany, Calif., Amphibious Repair Base, Thomson- ville.
" We could get a good idea of how tough some of those landings were from the shape that some of the landing craft were in when they came in to our base for repairs. Many of them were badly shot up. I spent 21 of my 23 months in the Navy at Albany and it was an amaz­ing
thing to see the way the number of our landing craft increased in that time. First there were just a few, of not many types, but at the end there were thousands and thousands, of dozens of types. It was a tremendous building job."
Towart, Sanford K., Y 3/ c, Registered Publications Unit, Norwalk.
" We handled secret and confidential material, working mostly at Kwajalein and Guam. One of our assignments was the distribution of secret codes and signals and when we left our headquarters after a day's work, we couldn't breathe a word of what we'd been doing. Even now there isn't much we can say about the work we did there. It was an interesting job, of course, but it was kind of hard not being able to talk about it after working- hours."
Waldron, Ernest J., SF 2/ c, LST- 683, Torrington.
" They can say what they want about LSTs, but ours rode out four typhoons far out in the Pacific. Often at night when I'd hit the sack I'd wonder if the ship would be still afloat when morning came, but she always was. She was a sturdy old ship. We'd operated first as a training- ship but then we took occupation troops into Japan early in September. We made several more runs between Okinawa and Japan, all through the typhoon season. We had some rough riding but we got to our port each time. The only damage suf­fered
in the four typhoons was to a landing craft which we carried aboard."
Warzecha, Theodore V., BM 2/ c, Albany, California, Naval Depot, Portland.
" I thought I was going out to the Pacific but they sent me to California and that was as far as I got. There were many good things about duty out there. We handled a great deal of craft and equipment used later to hit Jap beaches all over the Pacific. We were still building up piles of stuff, getting ready for the biggest invasion of all, when the Japs finally got wise and quit."
10
Watson, Nelson M., S 1/ c, Armed Guard, Kent.
" The longest time I had on any of the five merchant ships in which I was with the armed guard was 11 months aboard the S. S. John R. Park. She operated in the Atlantic and so did three of the other ships I was on. We had many torpedo alerts and some bombing attacks, but we didn't take any hits so we were lucky. I spent five months in the Pacific, aboard the Wake Forest Victory, and got the good news to come home when I was at Okinawa."
Wilkel, John, SK 3/ c, 8th Seabees, New Britain.
" Building installations on Iwo Jima gave us a big thrill. A lot of boys had died to capture that island, and we did our best to live up to that by making it the strongest possible base in the shortest possible time. I handled supplies for my outfit while they worked on air­fields,
radar, warehouses and other in­stallations.
We went into Japan at Shizuoka but they decided they didn't have a lot of work for us to do there."
Wotka, Jan W., SF 2/ c, Ship Repair Unit, Norwich.
" At Rosemeath in Scotland and at Londonderry in Northern Ireland we re­paired
ships that had been damaged by enemy action. Most of the ships we fixed up were destroyers and LSTs, though there were plenty of other kinds. Some of them were hit by torpedoes while coming across the Atlantic and a lot of them were hit by tin fish or bombs during the in­vasion
of Normandy. At the time of the invasion we worked all hours to get those damaged ships back into service as soon as we could. That was a time when ships, and plenty of them, were really needed."
Zacarelli, John, S 1/ c, Cruiser Vin- cennes, New Haven.
" It took the Vincennes only 25 minutes to sink a heavy Jap cruiser in the Philip­pines.
That was one of the shortest en­gagements
we were ever in, even though it didn't seem short at the time it hap­pened.
We operated in the first air strike at Tokyo, being about 100 miles off the shore for the two days it lasted. I think that the toughest we were ever in was at Formosa where we got several real big raids from the air. I got hit by shrapnel during one of these raids and maybe that is why Formosa seems to be about the worst that I can remember. The Vincennes did a lot of operating and got credit for eight engagements; and now that I look back, it was a good experience to have been assigned to her."
