Oscar Earl Stevenson. Veteran OF 3
Major Invasions Home From 0kinawa

Drowned by tropical suns and
heavier by many pounds than
when as a youth of II he volun-
teered for the Navy, Oscar Earl
Stevenson is home from fifteen
months of fighting in the South
west Pacific, to spend a 37-day
leave with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. M. c. Stevenson in Moss
Point.
Eight major invasions are
chalked up to Stevenson's list of
achievements. Memorable among
them is the Battle of the Straits
of Macassar in which the United
States ships slipped up on two
sides of the Japanese Fleet sta
toned there and sent many of
their vessels to the bottom of
the sea.
During that encounter Steven
son, who is an electrician, was
Just below the turrett when it
was struck by a bomb dropped
by a suicide enemy fighter. The
damage did not penetrate to the
interior of the ship but it killed
16 men and wounded % others
who were on deck.
Another close call was at Sal
pan when the bow of the battle
ship that Stevenson was on was
practically blown off. And he
was so uncomfortably close to
the bow as to feel the full inn
pact when the torpedo struck.
Stevenson was wounded while
at Saipan but has now fully re-
covered.
Kwajalein, Leyte, Luzon, Pilau,
Tarawa, Philippines, and Oki-
nawa, the list goes on. AT Oki-
nawa the ship was subjected to
about IL enemy air raids a day.
AT one time Stevenson stood at
his battle station for 48 hours.
"Yes, l will be glad to get back
home to stay" said this veteran
of the Pacific, "but | do not want
to return until we have finished
this business.
So he is to return to his ship at
Bremerton, Wash, when his leave
is up, still determined to fight
to finish.
Stevenson attended the Moss
High school but was working as
an electricians helper at ingalls,
when he volunteered for service
