Milton Kassel
WWII
| USS PCS-1451
The Navy V-12 Program had Milton Kassel studying in college. On graduation, he would get a Navy commission, but the Navy had other ideas. They put him on active duty, made a 90 day wonder out of him, and sent him to serve on a patrol craft in the Aleutian Islands. (5:02)
Milton Kassel describes his remote post in the Aleutian Islands, Dutch Harbor. The young ensign was one of four officers on a small patrol craft. The weather was the main adversary while protecting the installations there. (5:40)
While patrolling out of Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, Milton Kassel searched for Japanese submarines, but never had a positive contact. His ship protected the harbor and guided ships between islands and through the anti-submarine nets. (5:30)
Radar was a new technology, but Milton Kassel had it on his ship. The patrol craft based in the Aleutian Islands could see over the horizon and know if a ship was there, but they didn't know if it was friend or foe. That required visual contact. (3:33)
When Milton Kassel and his shipmates heard about the atomic bomb, they didn't believe it was real. It was real enough that they were soon on their way back to the States. After a short leave he got another assignment, from the cold of Alaska to tropical Panama. (4:00)
