Whenever sailors congregate
and debate which type of duty in
the Navy is the most rugged, the
boys of the "splinter fleet" will
have plenty of arguments to sup
port the case for their branch of
the service. - v '
These little SCs are small ves
sels with limited facilities - - they
seldom make headlines, but many
an enemy plane and rub felt their
sting. Far out on the fringe of
the war zone, they are in there
pitching when we make a,T.ph!;'
fous assaults. After the beach
head has been secured they take
over the duty of escorting the
ships supplying the new base.
And when enemy planes have
been chased out of ' te area nnd
things quiet down, the splinter
fleet moves on .to "another.
- to repeat the per-
cers on Doara. sne nas never
participated in amphibious oper
ations, however, the skipper has
added gray hairs from the strain
of trvine to avoid treacherous
shoals and coral reefs. Even with
the most pamstaKing navigation
a vessel may run aground or rip
a hole in her hull. The waters
where she operates are among
the most poov charted in the
region. , . 1
