USS SLC Officer...W. M. Patrick, Ch. Gun

US FLAG William Patrick passed away in 1997 at the age 92
Dec. 17th, 1999

My name is Bill, son of William M. Patrick, chief turret captain, who served on the USS Salt Lake City from 1929 to 1942.

William enlisted in the Navy as a Apprentice Seaman 21 July 1926 at the age of 21. He also served on the USS Mercy & the USS Antares.

The USS SLC was his life for 13 years until 1943. With the ship in for its overhaul, he was reassigned to San Diego as a gunner instructor for a year then shipped out on the USS Intripid aircraft carrier til the end of the war, called back for the Korean War in 1949 and was stationed back in San Diego as gunner instructor. Retired in 1954 with 30 years service.

He was a West Virginia wittler and has carved a 3 ft. model of the ship in remarkable detail that he had taken to several reunions.

Thanks
William C. Patrick
