Italian merican
Organization Raises
Funds For Vessel

First United States ship to
hit the beach at Yokosuka
] a pan, in Tokyo Bay for
American occupation of Japan
Wednesday was the U.S.S.
GosSelin, which is sponsored
by the Wayne county Italian Amer
lean committee. headed by Anthony
J. D'Anna.
The GosSelin, a large destroyer
escort vessel, landed more than TO-
900 American Marine and Bluejack-
cts and British marines in the To-
kyo bay area. The ship was part of
a nine vessel task force including
the troop-laden Gosselin, four de-
stroyers and three seaplane trans
ports led by Rear Admiral Badgers
flagship, the cruiser San Diego.
Mr.. D'Anna conceived the idea
of having a S5,OOO,OOO mercy ship
sponsored by italian Americans
early in September of last year. The
drive to raise funds was met en-
Enthusiastically among Italian Amer
lean groups of the city and spread
to similar groups throughout Wayne
County.
Within a month the fund for the
mercy ship had passed the origi-
nal 100000 goal and had reached
sl6,OO0,0O0, enough for sponsorship
of a large destroyer escort instead
of the mercy ship as had been
planned.
In October, Mr.. D'Anna and COM
mittee members travelled to the
Defoe shipyards at Bay City where
Mr.. D'Anna christened the ship the
U.SS. GoSselin.
