War of 1812 uniforms by Lt. Rex Cressman Reichert, USNR, c. 1951: Captain in Full Dress Uniform, and Sailing Master in Full Dress Uniform.

US Navy uniform regulations of 1802 shifted in response to civilian fashion. The United States Naval History and Heritage Command notes:

There were changes in the uniform of the Navy approved by the Secretary of the Navy William Jones on 23 November 1813. The description of the full dress coat for the senior officers in the 1813 order, “The coat of blue cloth; with broad lapels and lining of the same; a standing collar...” is very similar to the description of the 1802 order, except in 1802 the lapels were to be long. Instead of the breeches of 1802, all officers were directed to wear pantaloons. In a period of transition, one finds men dressed in both the old uniform, the new one, or in combinations of both.

Caption on reverse: "This girls, is the counterpart of the WAVES-- we 23 years ago. They were Yeoman (F), USNR, the (F) standing for female. Some 11,000 were enlisted, including the girls in this picture taken in New York, in April 1919. Attention is respectfully directed to the high-crowned straw hats, the mannish uniforms and the determined expression on the face of the young woman about to ease the 8-ball into the side pocket. We wager then this picture was posed, the 8-ball represented the Kaiser."

I'm proud to have a couple of small paintings in Oceanside Museum of Art's military veteran group show, "Pop Smoke." Exhibition Celebration: October 29. Curator, Amber Zora, called for light-hearted, pop, artwork. She chose two of my Gojira (Godzilla) 1'x1' oil paintings: 1) Gojira (Hello there) Appearing over the high hill, Gojira is monumental. 2) Gojira (Hot Stuff) Gojira's breath kills, but he's such a handsome creature. My Gojira series expresses the energy of the original Godzilla (1954) feature film directed by Ishiro Honda. For these works, I used a ground of aluminum enamel, highlighted with an aerosol spray of international orange. I then found Gojira's image with pure black and pure white oil paint. My military service was in USNR 1961-1967 with active duty deployment 1962-1964, serving in the Western Pacific abroad Attack Personel Destroyer, USS Weiss. My reserve unit base was in Long Beach, California. #oceansideart #sandiegoartscene #sandiegoexhibitions #oceansideca #socalartists #sandiego #sandiegoartists #sandiegoevents #sandiegoart #originalart #sandiegogram #contemporaryart #modernart #modernism #artcollectors #artauction #artmuseums #godzilla #gojira #popart #movies #verterans #USN

"On this day,June 25th, 1944, the USS TEXAS was hit by two German 240mm shells off the coast of Cherbourg, France.

The First Hit

At 1310 TEXAS receives a hit from a large caliber shell atop the ship’s armored conning tower shearing off the top of Direct #3, which fell on to and injured the Gunnery Officer beneath it. The shell would then strike the longitudinal frame on the ship’s foremast causing an upwards explosion into the Pilot House directly above injuring many of those inside. By 1325 the crew began removing the thirteen casualties wounded in the explosion. These men suffered traumatic leg injuries, fractures, contusions, blast concussions, and abrasions. The ship’s helmsman, Christen Norman Christensen, would receive a fatal prognosis and die of his wounds later that day, becoming the ship’s only combat fatality during her career.

The explosion sheared off three sections of floor plates damaging the steering gear, compasses, engine revolution indicator, and many electrical cables and circuits. The space was demolished, and could no longer serve as the ship’s control station. All ship control operations moved to the Conning Tower as the ship maneuvered radically away and out of range of the German battery.

'The conduct of all hands during the action was worthy of praise and attaches no censure to anyone on board. In particular, Lieutenant Command Louis P. Spear, USN, Lieutenant Clarence L. Moody, Jr., (ChC), USNR, and Eddleman, Will J., Bgmstr2c, V6, USNR were worthy of praise for the cool manner in which they rendered first aid to the wounded on the Navigation Bridge, in spite of the continued fall of enemy shells in the vicinity of the ship.' Battle Report, J.M. Cabanillas, USN

Fire!

As the ship maneuvered away, the guns of Turret 4 and 5 continued to fire over the ship’s stern. These blasts warped nearly every door midship, damaged 40mm director mounds, and set fire to some of the canvas covers that were draped over the 40mm ammunition. With ammunition in such close proximity to the fires, nearby crews consisting of both Sailors and Marines quickly jumped into action by throwing the loose ammunition overboard.

'There were canvas covers over the shells in the gun tub. Circular canvas covers protected the clips that were in the racks on the gun tub. That canvas is what caught fire when the 14-inchers fired aft. No canvas cover on the guns themselves. The Marines threw the hot 40mm ammo over the side. No one was injured. The deck did not catch on fire, but there was lots of shrapnel on the deck. The shrapnel made dark spots on the deck.' -Veikko Liila, USMC

Second Time's The Charm

After a quick maneuver, TEXAS returned to face the battery once more. Both TEXAS and Battery Hamburg would exchange fire, encountering many close calls as gun salvos continued to straddle the ship. At 1444 two shell splashes were reported near the ship’s portside bow, and just three minutes later, an unexploded 240mm shell was discovered inside a stateroom on the Half Deck. TEXAS had been hit a second time. With no visible or reported damage, the ship continued its brawl with the relentless battery. By 1500 the ship had received orders to retire and return to Portland, England.

Upon returning to England, the 'dud' 240mm German shell was removed and disarmed under careful direction of the Bomb Disposal Officer. The shell would then be placed back on TEXAS, where it still resides to this day.

'The performance of the TEXAS while under heavy and accurate fire of the enemy was outstanding. She was smartly handled and continued the engagement until ordered to withdraw, although hopelessly outranged and continuously harassed by enemy fire over a period of two hours and twenty minutes.' - C. F. BRYANT, USN."
