Oral History Interview with Jospeh Triolo, October 25, 1999 (open access)

Oral History Interview with Jospeh Triolo, October 25, 1999

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Joe Triolo. Triolo joined the US Navy 9 December 1937 and served in China from 1938 to 1940. Upon returning to the United States he was assigned to the USS Tangier (AV-8), still under construction. While waiting for the ship to launch, he was temporarily assigned to Tiburon, California where mine nets were made. Once the Tangier was put to sea they proceeded to Pearl Harbor. Triolo tells of the attack by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941 and recalls seeing the faces of some Japanese pilots as he fired at them with a machine gun. He describes seeing the USS Monahan (DD-354) depth charging a Japanese two man submarine that was sighted while guns on the Tangier were also firing at the submarine. Seven days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Tangier set sail for Wake Island with US Marines and supplies on board. Before reaching Wake Island, the ship was diverted to Midway Island to assist in the evacuation of personnel. He tells of Admiral John S. McCain, Sr. using the Tangier (AV-8) as the command ship a task force on one occasion.
