I am doing research for a friend who's Dad was serving aboard the USS Kanawha from 2 Dec 41 to April 43 at the time of her sinking. His name was Mearl J. Orrell. The best I can tell from his journal is that he was a boatswains mate, perhaps a chief or first class from the info written by him. He went on to serve aboard the USS Maryland BB-46 and the USS Pittsburgh CA-72. Thought you might like to know. Thanks for the nice footage.
