A Boy, a Ship, and a War

A Tin Can Sailor on the USS VanValkenburg, Claud recalls his WWII days on the Pacific.
Learn about WWII from one who lived it. Claud Aldrich was a tin-can sailor, serving on the USS VanValkenburg and taking the ghosts of USS Arizona with them, since this newly commissioned ship was named for the Captain of the battleship sunk during Pearl Harbor.

Claud was a poor boy, one of nine children, seven boys and two girls, drafted in to the United States Navy, an entirely new world, which he knew nothing about. There was a rude awakening for him, to shape up to the facts of life on a warship in a time of war. Learning to be in harm's way and survive.
