Heroic RearHAdmiral Enrolls
In Fleet Sonar School; Lost
Foot In Sinking OF Carrier

Fleet Sonar School at Key
West Submarine Base is sched-
uled to have its most distinguish
ed student tomorrow.
Rear Admiral John N. Hos
kinS, USN, who is well known
throughout the Navy and who
had much heroic action in the
Pacific, will arrive here by air
plane today, and tomorrow will
enroll as a member of the
student body at the Sonar School.
HoSkinS was about to assume
command of the USS Princeton.
an airplane carrier, when she
was. sunk during the Battle of
Leyte Gulf BY the japanese.
In that action Hoskins lost a foot,
and the amputation was per
formed by Navy physician with
a hunting knife, because the doc
tor had lost all his equipment
during the japanese attack.
Hoskins was released from the
Navy hospital and was finally
given command of the new car
rier, Princeton, and he put it in
to commission. Brought before
the Navy retirement board, Hos
kins said he was fit for duty
that he could put his artificial
foot on faster than the members
of the retirement board could
don their shoes.
At all events, HoskinS refused
to be retired and told the retire
ment board he was ready for
duty. AS a result of the decision
the board ordered him to duty.
Then Hoskins was ordered to
Key West to pick up working
knowledge of the latest the Sonar
School has to offer.
