This week Richins boards his first ship, the USS Maryland, Mary-land, where he gets his first taste of the extensive armament of the battleship. Then comes seasickness. The Maryland had come into San Francisco from battle, its' crews were put on liberty and leave, and we were taken to the ship for three days to replenish the stores and ammunition. This is the first time I saw 16-inch shells, and they were huge. Believe it or not, you could take them by the tip, rock them a little, and walk them to where you wanted. There was also a carriage, kind of like a dolly, built in a half circle, with steel straps on the top, middle and bottom. You could push one under a shell, and then a hoist picked it up and put it down in the ship's magazine. There were three kinds of shells: one for bombardment, made of cast iron, with an explosive ex-plosive inside. It weighed about 1,500 pounds. The AP (armor piercing) shell was the heaviest, at about 1,800 pounds. It was used to penetrate the armor of other ships, which was about 14 inches thick. The third shell, the anti-personnel, would explode at about a hundred feet in the air, splattering with shrapnel anything any-thing within 150 or 200 yards. We slept the first night on hammocks, but the old salts on the ship wouldn't tell us how to stretch them tight up against the overhead. My butt was hanging almost on the deck, a position I found very uncomfortable. uncom-fortable. When the hammock is strung properly, you just lay there and let the ship kind of rock you to sleep. I learned that when I later went aboard the New Mexico. After our work on the Maryland, Mary-land, we returned to Oakland, and just after Christmas, we were taken back to the Bay. There sat a huge aircraft carrier the Saratoga Its thousand-foot thousand-foot deck was the longest flight deck in the fleet, and it sure was a long ways up to the deck! Carrying our gear, we climbed up the gangway to the top, saluted the flag and the officer of the deck, and asked permission to come aboard that's what you do when you u ptammm mueup m eaom, tmmtt x im an m urn eamia murr 0 KO 833 S. 170 E.

Loaded on the deck were a lot of bright-, yellow B-26 planes with the single tail. (1 learned much later that these B-26's were used to drag targets for gunnery practice prac-tice yellow so the gunners could see them clearly.) We got underway, out under the Golden Gate Bridge, and there we were on the flight deck, smelling the salt air, looking all around as far as we could see. The tugboats below us looked small But then we started to feel the roll up and down. The groundswells out of San Francisco Fran-cisco were one thing, but out at sea, the ship didn't just go up and down, it went in all kinds of angles and ways. Talk about sick! I couldn't go below deck, because the smell there would turn me inside out. 1 couldn't eat. So my buddies and 1 stayed topside, sleeping under the wings of the B-26's, to get -the fresh air. Pretty soon, the sickness kind of faded away. To pass the time, we jumped down into the mesh nets just off the side of the flight deck. We'd just lay there by the hours, watching the water curling up, and the flying fish that came up out of the curls. Three or four days later, we arrived at Pearl Harbor. About a week later, roll was called, we were mustered up, called by name (so many went here, so many went there), boarded on motorized whale boats, and sent toward five big battleships as replacement crewmen. My boat went to the New Mexico. We weren't immediately assigned as-signed a position, but I knew I didn't want to be in a battle station below deck, with all the watertight doors set on me. So I talked to one of the men whose battle station was forward, on top, and I was transferred to fire control. My job as a 3JY talker would be to talk to the gun emplacement. I wore a big helmet and sat in the back of a tub where I couldn't see anything. is .t.""' i. 4- . VV ; m t 1 1 M J . |
