Dominic Corsaro

US Navy 53rd Combat CB

from:Cleveland, Ohio

When I was just a young boy I sat in a local restaurant on St.Clair and 156 St., I heard the Japanese attach Pearl Harbor; I did not even know where it was back then. A few years later at 16, I used some creative math to get in to the Merchant Marines. I started on a liberty ship; at the time it was considered an attack ship. With one small gun on the front, and being made of plywood I think the title 'attack ship' was more of a morale builder for those of us on the ship. We transported German Pilots from Europe back to the U.S. for imprisonment.

In 1944 I transferred to the Navy and served with the 53rd Combat CB and ended up on Bikini Atoll to take part and see the atomic bomb test in 1946. I got to see the world in just a few years.
