The good news is I get to return home for the baby boom. Nothing real eventful. Commissioned in 43, had a few minor scrapes in the Philippines. Seems like somebody in charge didn't want us to be sunk as we had a few operations canceled and did a lot of training exercises and some boring stuff around the Alleutians. Best war stories come from the Battle of Okinawa in '45 where we took some fire and shot down some kamikazes. Went back to San Fran after that and the ship was decommissioned. The Navy finally blew it up during target practice in '72.
