Located a few miles north from the border of the United States and Mexico, the U.S. Coast Guard has maintained a continual presence in San Diego since 1935. It was in May of that year that a single air detachment, led by Cdr. Elmer F. Stone, began operating out of a commercial hangar at Lindbergh Field. From those humble beginnings, a base was constructed on 23 acres of tidelands adjacent to the airstrip and eventually formed into Sector San Diego. Through the years, their units and missions have evolved as new technology and changing world events dictated new missions for the Coast Guard. Today Coast Guard Sector San Diego stands as a model of interagency cooperation for the Department of Homeland Security as the Coast Guard works with other federal agencies to protect San Diego's maritime domain.

r T TI o nr 1 FIRST The Story of the U. S. Coast Guard at War-REG INGRAHAM INTRODUCTION BY SECRETARY OF THE NAVY FRANK KNOX THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY Publishers INDIANAPOLIS NEW YORK 7. S. Coast Guard Flioto WAVES OF MEN AND WAVES OF WATER Waves of men as well as waves of water head for the beach as U. S. Coast Guardsmen drive their landing barges toward a South Pacific island during an intensive invasion drill. Many of the Coast Guardsmen participating in the early-morning drill are veterans of the original Guadalcanal invasion. . B 2 THE BOBBS-MERJULL COMPANY PRINTED NTHE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA First Edition THE CORNWALL PRESS, INC., CORNWALL, N. Y. To Gertrude 1 3 1844 Introduction THE STORY of the Coast Guards role in this war is well known to those of us who have followed the course of the war at sea closely. But those who associate the Coast Guard mainly with its peacetime functions of safeguarding Ameri can lives and property at sea and protecting legitimate ship ping along our coasts and inland waterways might wonder what the activities of the service are in time of war. For those people this book will supply the answer. An operating part of the Navy since the Presidents decla ration of a national emergency in November, 1941, the Coast Guard fought hard and effectively in the Battle of the At lantic. The loss of ships and men suffered in this battle is sad, mute evidence of the force of its fight. More heartening evidence lies at the bottom of the sea in the battered hulls of German U-boats. Again the Coast Guard has been highly valuable in land ing operations. With their traditional knowledge of the handling of small boats in all kinds of surf and under all sorts ofconditions. Coast Guardsmen were with the first Marines that landed in the Solomons and they were an equally essential factor in the success of the Navy task forces that have since effected landings in North Africa, in Sicily, 7 INTRODUCTION in Italy and in the islands of the Pacific. The story of their work in these operations is one that deserves to be told in the permanent form of a book. But there are other things than these things for which the nation at war has been dependent upon the Coast Guard. The security of our all-important ports, the protection of our thousands of miles of coast line, the manning of many of our troop transports, the rescue of mariners at sea, the test ing and regulation of lifesaving equipment aboard our mer chant ships and the maintenance of necessary aids to navi gation all these are functions and responsibilities of the Coast Guard. They are jobs that have to be done and done well, and they are eminently worth reading about. FRANK KNOX. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS So many of the commissioned, enlisted and ci vilian personnel at Coast Guard Headquarters assisted in providing material for this boo that it would not be possible to list them here, but I wish particularly to express my thanks to Captain Ellis Reed-Hill and his staff, notably Warrant Officer Arthur Bernon Tourtellot f without whose friendly and expert co-operation the boo would not have been undertaken. The opportunity to tal with the Coast Guards quiet, capable Commandant, Vice Admiral Russell R. Waesche, and such outstanding cutter captains as Commander James Hirshfield was of inestimable help. I also wish to than Mr. Archibald Ogden for his interest from the start. Contents CHAPTER PAGE I. THE FIRSTBLOW 17 II. THE FIRST FLEET 28 III. THE TURNING POINT 53 IV. COMBAT CUTTERS 90 V.

At home and overseas, the United States Coast Guard served a variety of vital functions in World War II, providing service that has been too little recognized in histories of the war. Teaming up with other international forces, the Coast Guard provided crewmembers for Navy and Army vessels as well as its own, carried troops, food, and military supplies overseas, and landed Marine and Army units on distant and dangerous shores. This thorough history details those and other important missions, which included combat engagement with submarines and kamikaze planes, and typhoons. On the home front, port security missions involving search and rescue, fire fighting, explosives, espionage and sabotage presented their own unique dangers and challenges.

The Coast Guard's deepest roots run through Massachusetts, the ancestral home to three of the five predecessor agencies that make up the service today. The Coast Guard formed in 1915 and since that time has served the citizens of the Bay State at lifeboat stations, air stations, lighthouses, LORAN stations, and radio stations, as well as on lightships and cutters of all sizes. They have protected the Massachusetts coastline during numerous wars, performing some of the most dramatic rescues in American history--from the Pendleton to the Argo Merchant to the Etrusco and more. The story of the Coast Guard in Massachusetts is one of heroism, honor, respect, and devotion to duty.
