port on the action and loss of the U.S.S. CORRY (DD463) is sub-
mitted as required by references (b)  and  (c). 

          (a) For operation xxxxxx the CORRY was assigned the mission
          of a fire support ship of Fire Support Unit THREE in station
           #3, about 4,000 yards off UTAH beach, approximately 2 miles,
           bearing 280°T from the St. Marcouf Islands, coast of France.
           H hour, as will be subsequently referred to, was designated
          as being 0630B, June 6, 1944.  The specifically assigned duties
           of this vessel are chronologically presented as follows:

                 (1)  To arrive transport area, having escorted convoy U-2B
                 across the English Channel, at about H minus 4 hours.  Com-
                 manding Officer U.S.S. FITCH was escort commander.

                (2)  To proceed down boat lane toward Red and Green beaches,
                in echelon formation, with U.S.S. HOBSON (CDD20) and U.S.S.
                 FITCH at about H minus 2 hours, with view to preceding
                first boat waves toward landings. 

                (3)  To depart boat lane for fire support station #3 at H
                minus 80 minutes.

         (4)  In case of heavy enemy shore battery opposition, be-
         tween H minus 2 hours and H minus 40 minutes, signal "Zebra"
         would be sent to bombardment ships, which would require
         CORRY firing on targets 13A and 14A approximately located be-
         tween Montebourg and Fontenay, coast of France.

         (5)  To arrive station #3 at H minus 50 minutes.

         (6)  To commence direct fire at beach targets #80,  82,  84
         86,  88, 90,  92,  and  94, extending from prospective beachhead,
         northwestwards toward  Quineville, at H minus 40 minutes.
         Rate of fire to be 8 rounds per minute.

         (7)  To cease firing at H hour upon receipt of black smoke
         rocket signal, meaning "troops have landed, lift your fire".

         (8)  To fire at targets of opportunity after H hour.

         (9)  To answer call fire after landing of shore fire control
         party after H plus 210 minutes.

     (b)  The CORRY carried out all duties as listed in paragraph
     (d),  (1)  to  (5)  inclusive, except signal "Zebra" was not re-
     cieved and consequently targets 13A and 14A were not fired upon.
     The remainder of the schedule, as presented above, was upset in
     the following manner:

         (1)  At H  minus 85 minutes the FITCH and this vessel were
         fired upon by shore batteries, unlocated,  just prior to de-
         parting boat lane to report to our respective fire support
         stations.

         (2)  At H minus 70 minutes, while en route to fire support
         station #3, at speed of about 3 knots, commenced firing
         almost simultaneously with FITCH on shore battery flashes on
         beach bearing about 260°T from ship's position 2 miles due
          west of St. Marcouf Islands.  Fire was for purposes of cover-
         ing FITCH, which was at this time about 3,000 yards north of
         this vessel, on course of about 010°T.

         (3)  At H minus 50 minutes, upon arrival assigned position #3,
         stopped and anchored at short stay, as current was flooding
         at 1½ knots at this time.

         (4)  At H minus 40 minutes, silenced shore battery firing
          on this vessel after having expended about 110 rounds
         5"/38.  Visibility poor, sea calm, wind force 1.  FITCH
         having been fired upon considerably, had by this time
         moved to a position that appeared to be about 3 miles due
         north of St. Marcouf Island.  The U.S.S. QUINCY at this
         time bore about 070°T, distance about 9,000 yards.

         (5)  At H minus 30 minutes commenced firing on assigned
         beach (10 minutes late), target #80, bearing about 218°T,
         range about 5200 was first target.  Fired 12 salvos direct
         fire using navigational and optical ranges.  Then shifted
         to #82, employing same procedure.

         (6)  At about H minus 20 minutes, smoke screens were laid
         so completely by planes that all vessels in force UNIT
         appeared to be screened very effectively except the CORRY.
         The screen lay to seaward and appeared to extend from the
         St. Marcouf Islands northward for several miles.

         (7)  Immediately after the laying of the smoke screen, at
         about H minus 15 minutes, fire was concentrated on this
         vessel.  The anchor was lifted from short stay and abrupt
         maneuvers were commenced to throw off salvos, by giving
         ahead flank speed, stop, backing, right full rudder, and
         left full rudder, giving due regards to reefs which ex-
         tended nearly the entire seaward side.

         (8)  Rapid continuous fire was commenced on flashes of
         nearest battery, which was firing in salvo at this vessel,
         bearing about 252½°T, range about 10,000 yards, behind the
          town of St. Marcouf.  The flashes were very prominent but
         the battery itself was unseen and there was no outside ship
         spotting available.  Firing was conducted by obtaining true
         bearing on flashes and residual smoke, introducing same to
         computer and director, while coaching director on.  Optical
         ranging on flashes was attempted.  Rapid continuous fire to
         seek range.  As this vessel drew to the northward, the bear-
         ing of the shore battery decreased to 246°T.  During this
          period this vessel was being fired upon by other batteries also.

         (9)  At 0633 (H plus 3 minutes) this vessel hit a mine under
         the engineering spaces that caused the immediate flooding
         of the forward engineroom, the forward fireroom, and the
         flooding of the after fireroom very shortly thereafter.
         This was accompanied by the loss of all electric power and
         lighting at the same time.

             (10)  Just previous to hitting the mine, right full rudder
             had been given and 25 knots had been rung up because of
             the proximity of a near miss on the starboard side (firing
             was to port).  When the ship was mined, as in (9) above,
             the CORRY was just starting a right turn at increasing
             speed.  As a result of the mining effect, the rudder jammed
             hard right and a high speed circle movement commenced.
             Hand steering got the ship headed towards the sea, but at
             0637 all steam was lost in the after engine room, the only
             engineering space not yet flooding.

             (11)  Boats were lowered for purposes of towing the ship
             through shoal water towards the open sea, i.e., the fire
             support area of the larger ships.  General signal, "This
             ship needs help", was hoisted, as all communications were
             out.

             (12)  At about 0639 word was passed to prepare to abandon
             ship, as at this time water had reached the main deck,
             though the ship was on an even keel but sagging badly.

             (13)  At about 0641 abandon ship was ordered, for at this
             time the main deck was under 2 feet of water and the ship
             was broken amidships.  Abandon ship was carried out with-
             out confusion and the Commanding Officer was the last to
             leave the ship.  At this time the stacks had leaned to-
             gether, the fantail and the bow had risen but the entire
             main deck and most of the midships superstructure were
             under water.

        (c)  Subsequent happenings after abandon ship had been com-
        pleted were of the following nature:

             (1)  The fantail of the CORRY was hit by a small caliber
             projectile, rupturing smoke screen generator causing
             toxic effect on survivors in the water.  The port 40mm
             station was also hit, causing apparent detonation of some
             40mm projectiles at ready stowage.

             (2)  The two hour period of immersion was perhaps the most
             difficult of all for the survivors, for during this entire
             time shells were falling causing further dead and wounded.
             The currents in the area were of such nature as to render
             swimming away from the ship very difficult.  One raft was

            carried in a complete circle about the CORRY and upon
            passing the shoreward side, received a near miss that
            caused more casualties an hour after the sinking of that
            vessel.  As a result of the temperature of the water,
            54°F, several men died of exposure.

            (3)  Survivors were rescued in the time interval of 0830
            to 0900 by the FITCH, HOBSON, BUTLER, and PT-199.  An hour
            prior to this the CORRY was observed to be settled in
            about 6 fathoms of water with only the director, the mast,
            top of bridge, and tip of bow visible.  The shore batteries
            ceased their intermittent firing with the arrival of the
            above mentioned vessels.  The FITCH and HOBSON entered the
            survivor area with all guns firing at the shore batteries
            on one side of their respective ships, while lowering
            boats and cargo nets on their other sides.

            (4)  At about H plus 4 hours the bulk of the survivors
            were transferred to the U.S.S. BARNETT.  At this time
            the Commanding Officer of the CORRY reported the loss of
            the CORRY to Commander Force UNIT and requested that
            security measures be instituted as that vessel had sunk
            in shoal water near the coast of France.

            (5)  At about H plus 6 hours the BARNETT sailed for Port-
            land, England, arriving there at about 0300B, 7 June 1944.

            (6)  At about 0600B 7 June 1944 the BARNETT departed for
            Falmouth, England, arriving there at about 2000B 7 June.
            Survivors at this time were transferred to the U.S. Naval
            Advanced Base, Falmouth.

            (7)  At about 1100B 8 June, the CORRY survivors, except-
            ing those remaining at the U.S. Naval Dispensary, Fal-
            mouth, entrained for Plymouth, England, arriving at the
            U.S. Naval Advanced Base at 1600B 8 June 1944.  During
            this period the CORRY officers were sent to Exeter for
            outfitting and the commanding officer was ordered to
            London and returned to Plymouth shortly thereafter.

            (8)  At about 2300B 12 June 1944 the CORRY survivors were
            transferred to BASE TWO, Rosneath, Scotland.  At this
            latter base the crew was organized into the status of a
            vessel afloat, with office space and procedure instituted.

                                                 GUNNERY
            (a)  Over 400 rounds of 5"/38 cal. projectiles fired, em-
            ploying direct fire and optical ranges on targets at ranges
            varying from 5 to 10,000 yards.  No machine gun or torpedo
            firing.  Guns functioned smoothly.  Rate of fire very high
            when firing rapid continuous fire.

            (b)  Concussion effects:

                 (1)  All guns whipped out of train into stops.

                 (2)  Torpedoes came partly out of tubes, three of them
                 having hot runs in tubes.

                 (3)  Computer face glasses jumped up into operators faces.
                 Glass did not shatter because of previous preparation.
                 Side plates of computer came off.

                 (4)  Gun mounts and handling rooms deluged with water.

                 (5)  Gun crews thrown off feet.

                 (6)  Machine gunners at midships machine guns and torpedo-
                 men thrown from stations to main deck and overboard.

                 (7)  Machine gun control officer at director base thrown
                 to deck.

                 (8)  Control officer in director wounded in back of head
                 by striking range finder optical box.

                 (9)  5"/38 mount #1 jumped off roller path, upper hoist
                 badly distorted.

                 (10)  Director jammed in train.

                                                 ENGINEERING
            (a)  Four boilers on the line, using main engine combination.
            Split plant operation throughout.  Varying speeds were em-
            ployed, from back full to ahead flank, i.e., 25 knots.

            (b)  Damage effects.

                 (1)  The forward fireroom and forward engineroom flooded
            immediately and simultaneously.  For this reason it is be-
            lieved that the mine was struck in the vicinity of the
            bulkhead between these spaces on the starboard side in
            the region of the turn of the bilges.  #2 boiler was rup-
            tured and the resultant escape of steam killed or badly
            burned all personnel in this space.  Steam pressure on
            gages in forward engineroom went down immediately.  All
            electric power and lighting lost.

            (2)  In the after fireroom and engineroom unit, flooding
            was at lesser rate, thus giving time for attempting main-
            tainence of the speed of the ship.  However, the source
            of feed water to boilers #3 and #4 was lost through a
            combination of the following circumstances:

               a.  All electric power and lighting lost.

               b.  Suction line to #4 main feed pump in after engine-
               room ruptured and by the time suction could be shifted
               to #3 main pump the after fireroom was flooded, as this
               later space flooded in approximately three minutes.

            Some speed was maintained in the after engineroom for a
            few minutes but in the after fireroom the personnel were
            busy securing the boilers because of low water and the
            rising level of sea water in this later space.  The after
            fireroom was flooded because of two holes in the hull,
            one located under the torn loose bed plate of the #2
            fire and bilge pump and the other in the vicinity of the
            feed water tank B-17, both on the starboard side. In
            addition, the bulkhead between the forward engineroom
            and the after fireroom was sheared in several places causing
            an entry of water from the rapidly filling forward engine-
            room.

                (3)  Fire control switchboard in plot arced badly.

                (4)  Main gyro jumped out of gimbals and fell to deck,
                striking man in plot.

                (5)  Cables to fire control switchboard severed and hanging
                in strands, knife and rotary switches flew off.

                                  HULL AND DAMAGE CONTROL

            (a)  Condition ABLE was set through the ship and general
            quarters throughout period covered by this report.  All wing
            fuel oil tanks were full of oil.  Approximately 90% of fuel
            oil capacity on board at time of sinking.  Full load dis-
            placement of the ship upon hitting the mine estimated to be
            2500 tons.  This is based upon the following approximations:

                (1)  Fuel 90% of capacity.

                (2)  Ammunition, 5"/38 - 85%;  M.G. - 100%.

                (3)  Water tanks filled.

                (4)  Well stocked with commissary and ship's service stores.

                (5)  Stores and spare parts nearly 100%.

            (b)  Damage effects:

                (1)  Main deck split open width of ship at frame 100.
                Fissure was about one foot.  The severed edges of main
                deck slanted downward, because of rising of bow and stern.
                One edge lower than other by several inches.  The hull
                at frame 100 on port and starboard side was observed to
                be also split.  It is believed that this split extended
                down to the keel and that the keel was severed.  It is

            (b)  By means of SG radar during the approach phase and
            optical bearings after D minus 1 hour there was no parti-
            cular difficulty in affixing the ship's position for navi-
            gational and firecontrol purposes.

            3.          Because of the fact that just prior to H hour, the
ship was being heavily fired upon by shore batteries, emitting
large flashes, it was believed for a long time that the cause of
the fatal damage of the ship was a salvo of heavy caliber proj-
ectiles.  However, as the result of the review of the concussion
effect throughout the ship and the revelation of the fact that
practically every man on the ship was thrown from his feet re-
gardless of the location of his battle station, it is now fully
believed that the major damage was due to a mine and that the
shelling received simultaneously and shortly thereafter resulted
in merely incidental damage.

            4.          The CORRY sank in about six fathoms of water in
latitude 49° - 30' - 50" N., longitude 01° - 11' - 30" W., in
vicinity of the St. Marcouf Islands in the Bay of the Seine, coast
of France.
