Net Tender Stories

Written by Bob Madge USS Teak (AN-35)

Story #13 Volume IX Philippine Assignment of USS Teak AN-35

The following stories are written by Robert (Bob) Madge, ex Radioman on USS TEAK AN-35. Bob and also Milt (Moose) Meehan. ex Radar Operator on Teak, have written several stories about their ship and shared some of them with us

Teak was one of the 20 East Coast Net Tenders. She went into service in May 1942 at Camden, New Jersey. After about 6 months duty at the Panama Canal she sailed to San Francisco for duty there before her long voyage to the South Pacific. Teak was a very busy ship during World War II doing a variety of work assignments other then performing Net Duties. Her many assignments around New Guinea and the Philippines included escorting an ex private yacht from Milne Bay to Hollandia, trips towing a barge with gasoline and repair docks to a PT base, laying detection buoys, then to the Philippines, often on General Quarters while shells could be heard whizzing overhead and Kamikaze suicide planes diving into our ships. While here Teak laid and monitored sonar buoys, salvaged vessels in Manila harbor and served as a diving platform recovering sunken treasure off the island of Corregidor.
