From Wikipedia.
The U.S. Navy Special Collections & Archives has two declassified Ship Action Reports regarding the APc-15 dated from August 1943.
The first report, dated 15 August 1943 pertains to the rescue work of the APc-25 following the sinking of the USS John Penn on 13 August 1943.
The second report dated 18 August 1943 deals with enemy aircraft attacks on the ship.
These reports are written by the ship's commander, John D. Catrano.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
