Chicago's Buoy Was A Couple

I Received My Parents' Permission And Went Into The Navy On June 3, 1941.

I Was Assigned To The Heavy Cruiser Chicago.

Our Task Force Put To Sea In Early January 1942, To Attack The Japanese In The Marshall And Gilbert Islands, But The Mission Was Called Off On The Eve Of The Attack.

The Japanese Invaded Tulagi, In The Solomon Islands, On May 4.

We Made Air Attacks On The Japanese Anchorage, Sinking And Damaging Several Vessels. However, The Japanese Were Alerted To The Fact That American Carriers Were Nearby.
