U.S. Navy, yeoman 3rd class
PETER PASCALE


Peter Pascale
​Born: February 3, 1926
US Navy; Yeoman 3rd Class, USS Wrangell AE-12 Service # 9087065Peter Pascale turning 18, was drafted into the US Navy. After basic training, he was sent to Newport Rhode Island Naval base, where he received training in the administrative and clerical duties needed to run a Naval fighting ship.
After training, Mr. Pascale and 250 other sailors were assigned to the USS Wrangell. After the ship was loaded with 6500 tons of ammunition, the USS Wrangell received orders, and set sail for Pearl Harbor through Panama Canal.
Peter’s battle-station was a communications specialist and manned a 3-inch naval gun with eight other sailors. He wore a specialized helmet and was responsible for receiving targeting information from a Combat Control Officer and directing his naval gun crew’s fire.
On their first operation, the USS Wrangell supported the Naval Task force in the Battle of Iwo Jima. It supplied bombardment forces with ammunition over the course of the battle. The nature of operations at Iwo Jima, prevented his ship from anchoring and necessitated conducting ammunition transfer operations while either drifting or underway at slow speed.
Peter’s ship was engaged in several major and minor operations, including the invasion of Okinawa. During the height of the Battle for Okinawa, the USS Wrangell re-armed over fifty combatant ships in round-the-clock reloading operations.
The USS Wrangell and her crew earned the American Theatre Medal, the Asiatic Pacific Medal with three Battle Stars, the Philippine Liberation Medal, and the WWII Victory Medal.
