TM3C Burton Hutchison on DD-747 1944 to 1946

Since 07-11-04

Burton Hutchison TM3C 1944-4196 Clifton Forge, Virginia

Upon completion of torpedo school I was sent to pier 92 in NYC for assignment  to the USS Samuel N. Moore which at that time was on shakedown. 

 While at 92 I put in for  a 9 day leave which was rejected next put in for a 13 day leave which was approved.  When I returned from leave I became a crew member of the 747 at the Brooklyn navy yard.  Served aboard until April 46.

While in Shanghai I accumulated enough points for discharge.  Was transferred from the  the Moore to the Moore for transportation to Charleston SC.

The Moore I was transferred to was DE240 named after a sailor killed on the Arizona

Rather ironic being  transferred from the Moore to the Moore.
