Heavy cruiser Sweet P Navy tale from Leyte Gulf

Sailors on the heavy cruiser Sweet P recount their Pacific War experiences before Leyte landings. Crew members boast multiple campaigns and battle stars, while coping with long sea orders, liberty days, and a floating world of amenities from a soda fountain to a tailor shop and barber.

Sweet P Navy ship’s Pacific patrols and life aboard

The Sweet P battled near Midway Guadalcanal Tarawa and Santa Cruz from 1942 to 1944, then bombarded Kiska Tarawa Mar ships in 1943 and raided Marshall Islands. The wartime voyage surpassed 100000 miles with sailors enduring shellbacks and the ship’s crews and traditions including plank owners and the oil and fresh water kings. The 57 hour Guadalcanal stand by battle left crew exhausted after fighting off Japanese air attacks and a near miss on San Francisco.
