15th _____ We had a full night in but bombarded most of the day. Heard turrit two will fire tomorrow. We took on a little mail this afternoon. We didn't drope anchor all day at least not till 1800 & that was for rest of the night. We kept up bombarding all night.

The middle gun of turret two had blown up, but apparently repairs were made to the rest of the turret.
In 1945, from February 28 through December 1, Seaman 1st Class Joseph B. Chicco kept a secret journal. The entries detail life on board the U.S.S. Mobile in the South Pacific, most notably during the Battle of Okinawa. Between Feb 28 and Dec 1, 2010, I'll post his journal entries here.
Now available in print:
