Two County Boys ON
Carrier In Pacific

ABOARD AN AIRCRAFT CAR
RIER IN THE PACIFIC 49, James
Koontz, seaman, second class,
Route 2, HagerstqWn, and Phillip
Melvin Straley, seaman, first class,
81 South Artigan street, Williams
port, Md, are back at the business
of fighting Japs after a recent three
hour rest period on one of the Navy's
recreation islands" in this war zone.
The recreation islands" have
been set up on tiny atolls to give
Navy men few hours to relax
between battles.
The crewmen of this carrier Wis
tied the island in small parties, and
had chance to put their feet on
solid ground for a few hours. They
were taken on a tour of abandoned,
matched native huts, where a small
tribe of islanders made their homes
before the war. They also were
given an opportunity to hunt along
the beach for oddly-shaped coral
and sea shells washed up by the
tide.
Recreation and refreshments in
Guided cans of beer and soft drinks,
ball game, horseshoe-pi pitching,
boxing, swimming and sun bathing.
The sailors also had a chance to
mingle with crewmen of other ships
in the area, swapping sea stories
and talking about mutual acquaint-
ances and relatives.

Three County Men
On USS New York

ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP
USS NEW YORK IN THE PACIFIC
David Lee Judd, seaman, second
class, USNR, Route 1, Fairplay, Md,
James H. Barlow, fireman first
class, lis McComas street, Hagers
town, Md, and Paul M. Brown,
whose brother, Russell w. Brown,
lives at 801 Virginia avenue, Ha-
gerstown, Md, came through the
battle for Okinawa aboard this bat
tleship, without a scratch, helping
fire more than five million pounds
of shells at enemy targets. This
tonnage exceeds that fired by all
ships combined during the invasion
commandments of Tarawa or Maxim,
Roi-Namur or Eniwetok.
One of the grand old ladies of the
fleet, the NEW YORK celebrated
her 31st birthday during the battle.
The only capital ship to stay on the
job without relief, she kept her A.
inch and 5-inch guns firing salvos
at island targets steadily.
The men spent the equivalent
of two solid weeks at their air de-
Tense stations during more than 200
air raid alerts. One Jap plane made
an unsuccessful suicide run through
a hail of antiaircraft fire, but
crashed harmlessly into the sea
Not one Jap bomb, torpedo or ar
tillery shell found its mark on the
ship, although all were tried. Credit
for much of the effectiveness of the
ships firing goes to the ships spot
ting planes which flew an estimated
$4,000 miles on missions over the
island, searching out targets.
The history of the NEW YORK
dates from her commissioning on
April Is, 1914 and spans two world
wars. In World War l she served
as the, flagship of battleship
squadron sent to reinforce the Brit
ish Grand Fleet in the North Sea
in the fall of 1917, and she re-
manned there until the German
fleet surrendered.
During the present war she par
ticipated in the invasion of North
Africa, saw convoy duty IN the At
lantic, and took part in the Two
Jima campaign.
