Coastguardsmen within Armed Guard
Posted by Bill on November 21, 2010, 12:08 am
After doing some research I found out that Sam Lo Presti of the SS Roger B Taney had initially enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1942. Understanding that the Coast Guard transferred to the Department of the Navy with the onset of WWII, upon entering the Armed Guard service did Coastguardsmen such as Lo Presti transfer completely to the U.S. Navy? Thanks, Bill McKinstry
