There was a Presidential Review by President Truman aboard USS RENSHAW where he was saluted by the carriers, MIDWAY, ENTERPRISE & MONTEREY. The BATAAN left New York, as she was assigned to another city. Where was she on Saturday, October 27, 1945?

Comments: TO BATAAN CREW:

I AM SURE YOU REMEMBER THE BEDOING STRAITS-- CVE 116. WE CALLED IT BUILDING 116 BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY IN YOKOSUKA OR SASEBO FOR A FEW DAYS OF REST AND RECREATION, THE WIND DIED DOWN AND THE STARITS COULD NOT LAUNCH AIRCRAFT--SO BACK WE WENT ON PATROL TO REPLACE THEM. THIS HAPPENEND OFTEN.

AM CURIOUS IF LOUIE YANELIO IS STILL ARROUND-- I KNOW HE LIVE IN MAYS LANDING NEW JERSEY. I WAS ON THE BATAAN FROM 1950 TO 1953 WHEN I ASKED FOR SHORE DUTY AND GOT IT--!!!! KWAJALEIN IN THE MARSHALL ISLANDS--KNEW BETTER-DON'T VOLUNTEER FOR ANYTHING.

SPENT MANY HOURS IN FORWARD COMPARTMENT ON SHIP TEACHING PLANE AND SHIP RECOGNITION TO PILOTS.
