The USS Wisconsin Radio Club is proud to announce our first publication!  CPO Charles Joseph Sullivan was Chief Boatswain’s Mate and Master-At-Arms onboard the USS Wisconsin (BB-64) for the duration of the ship’s involvement in World War II.  He kept a meticulous daily journal of all of the onboard activities that he observed.  This book contains a transcript of his entire journal with key events annotated, including photographs from his personal collection.  The journal starts when the USS Wisconsin departed the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.  After transiting the Panama Canal, the USS Wisconsin steamed to Pearl Harbor and beyond into some of the most important naval engagements of the war.  CPO Sullivan saw his ship attacked by Japanese aircraft, including Kamikazes.  The USS Wisconsin bombarded Formosa, Luzon, Okinawa, and the Japanese mainland.  CPO Sullivan was there the whole time – 105,831 miles worth and 1,562 sixteen-inch shells fired – from the day the USS Wisconsin was commissioned until the day she dropped anchor in Tokyo Bay at war’s end.  The ship’s history is documented here, in his own words.  Purchase a copy of CPO Sullivan’s journal from Amazon.com today!
