" "

Completed

Sunday,
" January 1, 2023 "

Sunk on April 19, 1944

the " S.S. John Straub "

lost " 55 " men !

( Losses included " 40 " Merchant Mariners, " 14 " Navy Armed Guards, and " 1 " passenger )
( The name of the " 1 " passenger is currently unknown )

         The U.S. Merchant Ship " S.S. John Straub " was a 7,176 ton Liberty class EC2-S-C1 ship built and completed on November 27, 1943 by the Kaiser Shipbuilding Company, Oregon Shipbuilding Corp. shipyard, Portland, Oregon for the U.S. Maritime Commission and assigned to the Alaska Steamship Company, Seattle, Washington.
         On April 19, 1944 the unescorted " S.S. John Straub " was enroute from Seattle, Washington to the Aleutians with 25,000 barrels of diesel, 9,000 barrels of high octane aviation fuel and other supplies.   The ship had a crew of " 68 " on board made up of a crew of 41 Merchant Mariners and 27 Navy Armed Guards.   There was also " 1 " passenger on board making a total of " 69 " on the ship.
         The " John Straub " was hit by " one " torpedo fired by " Japanese Submarine I-180 " about 100 miles east of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.   The ship broke in two.   The forward section sank in about 2 minutes while the rear of the ship didn't sink until about 14 hours later.   The explosion caused " 40 " Merchant Mariners, " 14 " Navy Armed Guards, and " 1 " passenger to perish.   Only 2 merchant mariners and 13 Navy armed guards survived.
Historic Note :
" Japanese Submarine I-180 "
was sunk one week later on April 26, 1944 by the
" U.S.S. Gilmore ( DE-18 ) " !

The ship Master / Captain of the " S.S. John Straub " was:
Axel Wilhelm Westerholm
from Seattle, Washington who was lost in this sinking !
