Guess who the Navy Dumped Willie Dee on ?
USS Isherwood became Flag of Des Div 98 after return from combi opps with British home feet.
After escorting newly commisioned Cruiser USS Boston to the Pacific..Wille Dee was shuffled into 98.
If Willie Dee was not enough of a problem..USS Luce was also part of Desron 49..div's 97 and 98 in the Aluetians.
Luce was famous for the fireworks display on Newyears eve when ship was completely drunk and Conga lining while in Dutch harbor.
A drunken Blue Jacket let the ships emergency air horn rip full tilt..
Shore batteries opened up,,the entire area went GQ as Brass thought the Japs were attacking.
USS Luce got kicked out of Dutch Harbor...when the DD div's came in to port..Luce would do circuits outside port authority as punishment.
Blue Jackets..Raisins..and Torpedo Alcohol...
Instant Conga Line.
