October 1947 - Joe Green CS1 Chivo's gun captain firing upon a derelict LST near Saipan.
The LST was towed out of Tanapag harbor for use as a torpedo practice target. When
torpedoes failed to sink the vessel an attempt was made to sink it with shell fire from
the 5"x45 gun on the after deck. Joe Green has given the order to fire and turned away
from the noise of the blast. I believe the person at the trainer position was Augie Marra.
