Gabelman, a Madison, Wis. veteran, discusses his World War II service with the Navy serving aboard the USS Nicholas (DD 449) in the Pacific theater. He talks about postponing his wedding to enlist in the Navy, midshipman school at Notre Dame (Indiana), torpedo school at San Francisco (California), assignment to destroyer duty, and transfer to Noumea in the South Pacific. Assigned in 1943 to the USS Nichols as the communications officer, he comments on mine sweeping missions off Guadalcanal; destroying floating mines with rifle fire at Corrigedor; and transfer to the United States to work on a newly commissioned destroyer. Gabelman mentions his marriage while in the U.S., joining the USS Glennon in Boston (Massachusetts), shakedown cruise to Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), discharge in 1946, and finishing his education at the University of Nebraska using the GI Bill.
