GEORGE S. TATGE GMM3, 15 September 1950-1951

I was born 30 October 1930, in Chicago, Illinois, and had brown hair and blue eyes. On 2 February 1946, I enlisted in the U. S. Navy at Chicago, Illinois and went to boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois. I went aboard USS FRANK E. EVANS (DD 754) in September 1950 and reported to 2 Division. I was rated nd GMM3, and remember as gun captain on the left gun of Mount 53, we had a hang fire. The mount was cleared except for myself and the Hot Shell Man to remove the powder can. I left FRANK E. EVANS in August 1951.
