We Went, We Didn't Ask Why, Our Country Called, And We Were Proud

 

Below is a National Archives copy of the official US Navy "Muster Roll Of The Crew" of DE 353, dated 13 July 1944 - Date of Sailing. This means these were the crewmembers aboard ship the day she was commissioned. These crewmembers are known as Plankowners of the ship.

I have not edited these documents. They are presented exactly as written.

Note - Only the list of enlisted crewmembers appears on the Muster Roll. The list of Officers was taken from the ship Deck Log, Page 1, 13 July 1944. The contents of the Deck Log appear after the Muster Roll information.

At the bottom of this page, I have included a list of US Navy ratings as a reference to understand the rate of each crewmember.
