The first attack on Morrison, a main target as fighter-director ship, was a suicide run by a “Zeke”. The plane broke through heavy flak to drop a bomb which splashed off the starboard beam and exploded harmlessly. Next a “Val” and another “Zeke” followed with unsuccessful suicide runs. About 08:25 a “Zeke” approached through intense antiaircraft fire to crash into a stack and the bridge. The blow inflicted heavy casualties and knocked out most of the electrical equipment. The next three planes, all old twin-float biplanes, maneuvered, despite heavy attack, to crash into the damaged ship. With the fourth hit, Morrison, heavily damaged, began to list sharply to starboard.

 

Few communication circuits remained intact enough to transmit the order to abandon ship. Two explosions occurred almost simultaneously, the bow lifted into the air, and by 08:40 Morrison had plunged beneath the surface. The ship sank so quickly that most men below decks were lost, a total of 152.

1945 – During the Okinawa Campaign, the Japanese attempt to land on Okinawa but are repulsed by the Allied naval forces. Kamikazes attack and sink: USS Luce (DD 522), USS Morrison (DD 560), USS LSM 190, USS LSM 194. Damaged by the suicide bombers are USS Birmingham (CL 62) and USS Sangamon (CVE 26).

Silver Star Award

Richard L. Steele

HOME OF RECORD:

Shell Beach, California

AWARDS BY DATE OF ACTION:1 of 1

 

Silver Star

AWARDED FOR ACTIONS

DURING World War II

Service: Army

Division: 37th Infantry Division

GENERAL ORDERS:

Headquarters, 37th Infantry Division, General Orders No. 170 (July 2, 1945)

 

CITATION:

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private Richard L. Steele (ASN: 39569602), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 37th Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy at Luzon, Philippine Islands. When his platoon suddenly received heavy small arms fire from the left flank on 22 April 1945, Private Steele voluntarily moved forward and, by making full use of the sparse cover, advanced to within 25 yards of the enemy emplacement. Throwing five hand grenades into the position, he caused three known casualties and facilitated the advance of his unit. Later he exposed himself to enemy fire on three different occasions, so that his platoon could locate and bring fire upon hostile positions. Private Steele’s gallant and aggressive actions aided greatly in the final reduction of the enemy emplacements. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
