WHIT C. BRYAN
ABOARD THE USS ADAMS —
W. C. Bryan, chief pharmacist's
mate, 614 McGee st., Borger, Texas
is serving on this destroyer mine-
sweeper which was recently at
Shanghai, China.
The Adams first saw action at
Okinawa where she was under at-
tack by Jap suicide planes. In
one attack she shot down six,
probably more, of 12 Kamikazes.
One of the planes exploded near-
by and did considerable damage
to the ship, causing it to retire for
repairs.
In a later instance another Jap
plane exploded near the mine-
sweeper, damaging the rudders.
Without benefit of rudders and
steering with her engines, the
Adams made the remarkable trip
back to San Francisco. A
