After their Douglas TBD

Devastator's fuel

tank was punctured in

a strike on Guam

forcing them to ditch

the plane, the USS

Dennis moved in and

rescued the three

downed fliers.     These

photos show their

sighting, recovery and

transfer to the

USS Belleau Woods,

CVL 24.

This occurred during

the First Battle of

the Philippines Sea

in the summer of

1944.

The USS Dennis cruise
diary from Percell
Worley lists the
USS Dennis
accompanying the
USS Belleau Woods
July 22- August 1, 1944.

Percell noted the 3 man
crew recovery
occurred August 1, 1944.

An interesting aside,

when the USS

Dennis crew recovered

pilots, the

Carrier on which the

rescued men were

serving would send

ice cream back to the

sailors on the

USS Dennis in

appreciation.    Ice

cream was something

the Carriers had,

but the DE's didn't!

The sailors were full

of fun at times, even

in these situations.   As

an uninjured

rescued pilot was sent

across the water in

the little chair, the

carrier crew would

sometimes briefly

steer him back toward

the Dennis, loosening

the ropes to nearly

dunk him, as if it

needed to be a more

harrowing ride!
