            2          War journal of Robert M. Hulsey – enlisted man in the U.S.

                        Navy (rating not determined) assigned to the USS ALASKA CB-

                        01 a very large heavy cruiser.  The journal begins with the

                        departure of USS Alaska from Pearl Harbor on 27 January 1945

                        and ends with the Alaska off the coast of Darien, China on 5

                        September 1945.  The journal contains a very detailed account

                        of the movements of the Alaska especially as part of Task Force

                        58 of the 5th Fleet.  The journal pages are numbered beginning

                        with page 1B.

                                    Included in this file is a photo of Robert in the navy blue

                        uniform.

                                    Also included in the file but NOT a part of the collection

                        is a printed description of the USS ALASKA CB-01 obtained

                        from the internet.

 

            3          War Journal of Robert M. Hulsey, U.S.N. from 8 September to

                        24 December 1945 – the journal covers the occupation of Korea

                        and patrol off the China coast.  Hulsey returned to the U.S. with

                        theUSS ALASKA by way of Pearl Harbor, San Francisco,

                        Panama Canal and Boston.  He was discharged at Great Lakes

                        NavalCenter on 23 December 1945 and arrived at home on

                        Christmas Eve, 1945.  This second journal is much more

                        sketchy and brief than the first journal.
