Navy repair success praised by Los Angeles captain
A. Harris Lyman, USN, formerly of Long Beach, and four others were commended aboard the heavy cruiser UAS Los Angeles for repairing a damaged range keeper in 87 hours. The device kept guns trained on a target amid waves, enabling shore bombardment. Harris, who joined in 1940, was previously cited in October 1950 for meritorious service at Inchon, Korea aboard USS Rochester.
