Seller's Description:
Richard W. DeRosset jacket illustration. Very good in Very good jacket. xi, [3], 269, [3] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. DJ has slight wear and soiling. This is one of the Studies in Maritime History. Theodore C. Mason, in later life, wrote three books dealing with his time in the US Navy during WWII: "Battleship Sailor", "We Will Stand By You" and "Rendezvous with Destiny-A Sailor's War". The author began his services as a navy enlisted man from 1940-1945. He was a radioman in the battleship California which it was sunk at Pearl Harbor. He later served on the Pennsylvania and the Pawnee. After the war he embarked on a journalism. This view of the war from the mess deck of a fleet tug is far different from that of a flag bridge vantage. Ted Mason recalls his years of action in the Pacific with candor and humor, offering perceptive evaluations of shipmates and exhibiting cool skepticism toward his leaders. The USS Pawnee rescued many ships during her 25-month tour of the South and Western Pacific, and this is a story of the heroics performed by her crew. USS Pawnee (AT-74/ATF-74) was a Navajo-class fleet tug in the United States Navy. Pawnee was laid down on 23 October 1941 by the United Engineering Company, Alameda, California; launched on 31 March 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Virginia Stiegler; and commissioned on 7 November 1942, Lt. (j.g. ) Frank C. Dilworth in command. In December 1942, she steamed for Pearl Harbor and commenced towing operations. She stood out of Pearl Harbor in early January, steamed for the forward Pacific area with ARD-5 in tow, and reported to ComSoPac for duty the 29th at Espiritu Santo. Pawnee operated in the Solomons from June through August 1943, providing towing services at New Georgia and Rendova. She next provided services at Vella Lavella until October. Other operations took her to the Western Carolines as well as to Okinawa, Leyte, and Luzon. She was reclassified as ATF-74 on 15 May 1944. She served with the Naval Occupation Forces in the Philippines until 24 February 1946.
