WM. B. PAYSEUR, S HC
ABOARD U. S. S. ALABAMA
ABOARD THE USS A La. Ba.4 A
IN THE PACIFIC—\\ illiam B.
Payseur. Jr., seaman, first class
IJSNR, whose wife Kathleen, lives
at Cherryville, N. C., 15 serving
aboard this battleship which in
one month’s time raided the Ja
panese mainland twice, bombardeu
a Jfcp-held island north of Okina
wa and rode unscathed through a
violent typhoon.
One of the raids against the
Nip homeland was uneventful, but
during the other operation the
“Mighty A” as the man-o’-war is
known to her crewmen, ran into
a hornet’s nest of Jap suicide pi
lots.
Scores of the Kamikaze planes
were shot down outside the task
force formation, but at least four
came in close enough to be splash
ed by the guns of this and other
ships. ALABAMA gunners claim
credit for downing two of these
planes and for assisting in des
troying another.
One Kamikaze, a “Zeke"—type
fighter, flew through clouds 01
ack-ack before singling out this
ship as his target, but as he turn
ed to make his death run his
plane was hit and crashed flam
ing, a scant 300 yards away.
During her bombardment as
signment, the ALABAMA turnea
loose her 5-and 16-inch guns to
pulverize Jap shore installations.
The typhoon the battleship ex
perienced pounded the 35,000-ton
vessel for hours, causing her to
pitch and toss heavily, but she
came through undamaged.
