Summary
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy attack cargo ship USS Theenim (AKA-63) took two Japanese soldier-laborers prisoner on 28 June 1945, after the pair had sailed their tiny skiff 400 km from Nauru Island, where they worked in a labor battalion. Mindful of Japanese trickery, the U.S. Coast Guard "boarding party" kept the sun to its back as it approached the skiff. Once on the ship the Japanese were stripped, deloused and had their heads shaved before they were questioned by ENS. James R. Kennedy, USCG. |
