Interviews by Jesse Stone and Karen Reeves for the Library of Congress. Writeups by Karen Reeves. Fireman First Class James D. Smith. U.S. Navy. . James D. Smith was only 17 years old when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy on July 9, 1945. Following boot camp at Bainbridge, Md., he was sent to Ft. McHenry near Baltimore and was eventually assigned to the aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Randolph CV-15, where he monitored pumps and repacked valves as an engineer in the Main Machinery Division. He would make a three day journey across the Atlantic on a mission to Naples to return 3000+ Italian POW’s who had spent part of the war in American POW camps stateside. Though minesweepers had cleared a path into the Naples, one distinct memory was of the twisted remains of ships bombed in the harbor. Smith also recalled the desperation of the Italian people who had little food and were living in the bombed out remains of what once had been a beautiful city. He recalls cigarettes being sold for $30 a carton because of shortages brought on by the war. The Randolph, which had a crew of 3300+ sailors, picked up 7250 U.S. soldiers for the return trip to the U.S. and docked in New York harbor on Christmas Day, 1945. Smith would make two such trips to Naples before leaving the service and settling in Waynesboro to become Superintendent of the Burke County school system. Mr. Smith passed away in 2016..
