Lt. (j.g.) Jack Cochran and the third Seabees unit finally left Espiritu Santo and waited three days for orders to return home arriving in Cedar Rapids December 17. He recalls a rough duty filled with malaria mosquitoes, supply shortages, and shark-infested swims but pride in building a 250-bed hospital and maintaining aircraft.
