As a ninety day wonder ensign I was sent there from Treasure Island to take charge of a detachment of 250 draftees that were to be quartered there temporarily. I received my orders at about 9:00 a.m. The net tender that was to take me to the Net Depot did not arrive until about 3:00 p.m. By the time I arrived at the Delta Queen the recruits has been sent elsewhere. I lived aboard the Queen until I was given command of the Katlian YNT 16 a tug that was built for service on the Mississippi, but worked the Antisubmarine nets in San Francisco Bay.Stickers & T-Shirts
