I started my naval service in Great Lakes, Illinois on 12 August 1943. This was followed by assignments to Newport, Goat Island, and Gould Island in Rhode Island; Montauk Point, Long Island, NY; Solomons, Maryland; and New London, Connecticut. On 31 Jan 1945, I set sail on a troupe ship from Treasure Island, CA to Pearl Harbor. There, I served aboard the U.S.S. Proteus, the U.S.S. Fulton, and the U.S. Advanced Submarine Base in Guam. In March 1946, I was air transported to Saipan on special assignment to set-up shop on a sister ship. Later, I returned stateside on the U.S.S. Wakefield, receiving an honorable discharge on 3 April 1946 at Great Lakes Naval Base. I am interested in finding some of my buddies that were in the special weapons group that were involved with the acoustically controlled torpedo. It carried a 100 pound warhead, the total length overall was six feet. Lt J.G. Roth was the leading officer in charge of our shop on the Proteus.
