31 Mar 1942 U.S.S. Astoria CA-34 - Clarence H Ives (6321304) AS V-6; Date first received on board 17 January 1942
30 Jun 1942 U.S.S. Astoria CA-34 - Clarence H Ives (6321304) Sea2c V-6; Date of Enlistment 18 December 1941; Date first received on board 17 January 1942
The USS Astoria (CA-34) was a United States Navy Astoria-class heavy cruiser that participated in both the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway, but was then sunk in August 1942 at the Battle of Savo Island.
On the night of 8/9 August, a Japanese force of seven cruisers and a destroyer under Rear Admiral Gunichi Mikawa sneaked by Savo Island and attacked the American ships. At the time, Astoria had been patrolling to the east of Savo Island....The enemy cruisers began firing on that force at about 0150, and the heavy cruiser began return fire immediately. Astoria took no hits in the first four Japanese salvoes, but the fifth ripped into her superstructure turning her into an inferno amidships. In quick succession, enemy shells put her No. 1 turret out of action and started a serious fire in the plane hangar that burned brightly and provided the enemy with a self-illuminated target.
From that moment on, deadly accurate Japanese gunfire pounded her unmercifully, and she began to lose speed.... Astoria reeled as a succession of enemy shells struck her aft of the foremast.
Suffering from the effects of at least 65 hits, Astoria fought for her life. A bucket brigade battled the blaze on the gun deck and the starboard passage forward from that deck.....
With daylight...it appeared that the ship could be saved, a salvage crew of about 325 able-bodied men went back aboard Astoria...Nevertheless, the fire below decks increased steadily in intensity, and those topside could hear explosions. Her list increased, first to 10° and then 15°. Her stern lowered in the dark waters, and her bow was distinctivley rising. All attempts to shore the shell holes – by then below the waterline due to the increasing list – proved ineffective, and the list increased still more....Captain William Greenman gave the order to abandon ship.....Astoria turned over on her port beam, rolled slowly, and settled by the stern, disappearing completely by 12:16. Not one man from the salvage crew lost his life.
Seaman, Second Class, Clarence Hubert Ives was one of 234 shipmates killed or missing on 09 August 1943. He was MIA and declared dead on 10 August 1943.
