CAPT.DISMUKES
HAS BRILLIANT
NAVAL RECORD
."Will Soon Return Home to
Assume Shore Duty After
Four Years at Sea
Captain Douglas Eugene Dis
mukes, U. S. N., whose home now is
Harrisburg, is resting at Brest,
France, where his crew is having a
long-promised ten-day leave before
the U. S. S. Mt. Vernon makes its
last trip as a naval transport. An
unusual compliment was given to
this "Queen of Transports," us she
is called, when General Pershing
cabled the Navy Department, August
23, asking if the proposed leave
lould be given up that he m&nt sail
on the Mt. Vernon. The ship was
then coaling at Hoboken. His re
quest was referred to Captain Dls
mukes who said his crew would
gladly give up their holiday, but
the original intention of the De
partment was to use the Leviathan
and it was then nearing France
where it arrived shortly after the
cable. General Pershing then de
cided to go on the ship originally
Bent to carry him.
On the return of the Mt. Vernon
to New York about September 22,
Captain Dismukes will have finished
a tour of something over four years
of sea service. He will then return
to Mississippi, the State from which
he was appointed to Annapolis in
1886, and be granted leave until
November 15, when he goes as com
mandant of the Naval Training Sta
tion at Newport, R. 1., and Captain
of the L\ S. S. Constellation, the
station ship there. This is one of the
most desirable shore billets in the
Navy, the commandant's house be
ing beautifully located with fine
ground? and gardens. It is an as
signment for several years. Near
the training station is the Naval War
College of which Admiral W. S.
Sims is president.
Ini)>orutnt Operations
Captain Dismukes' term of sea
duty has covered a number of im
portant operations. When 011 duty
at 1 •j.hania as iirst captain of the
port ui Cliristobel tin which duty
he had much to do with the inaugu
ration of the present system of tolls
and measurements of the vessels for
transportation through the new
canal) he was ordered by cable to
command the U. S. battleship Ken- |
tucky. His rirst duty with ship
was a very important assignment in |
Mexican waters where part of the I
time Captain Dismukes was the sen- |
ior otticer present.
During tins Mexican service the
Kentucky was ordered to represent I
the Government at the Mardi Gras at |
New Orleans. This afforded a much- i
needed relief to the crew from the |
Mexican climate. During the fes-1
tivities Captain Dismukes was made
one of the dukes of the carnival,
by name "Duke of Kentucky."
Later he was ordered to command
the New York State Naval lteserve
with headquarters for Kentucky in
New York.
on our entrance into the war the
Kentucky joined the battleships of
the Atlantic fleet in Chesapeake
Bay in the important and intensive
training operations to supply suf
ficient crews for the greatly in- I
creased Navy. During this period a
serious situation confronted us. In ,
January 1917, the important harbor ,
of Baltimore was Icebound and en- '
tirely closed to commerce. Hundreds I
of ships carrying cargoes of coal i
destined for s'eel and munition ]
plants nearby and in New England >
could not go in or out. Some of
these plants were 011 the point of
closing down when their products
were vitally needed by the Allies, i
Kepeatedly the regular ice-cutting
ships failed of result us it was an
unprecedented winter. Capt. Dis
mukes was ordered to take the ;
Kentucky to attempt this. It was a !
dangerous and hazardous thing for i
a battleship to attempt, but. he was !
very successful and completely op- j
ened up the harbor, assisting train j
after train of ships in and out. For !
this he received telegrams of high- •
est commendation from fleet ad
mirals, Admiral Benson and the !
Navy Department. On the conclusion |
of this work, he was ordered to com- j
mand the U. S. S. Mt. Vernon, form- !
erly the Norddentcher Lloyd Kron- j
prinzessin Cecilie, assuming com- I
mand in February, 1917. He com- !
manded on every trip during the war I
except the lirst two.
The Mt. Vernon was torpedoed I
September 5, 1918, and saved after
an exciting and heroic experience. I
She was the only transport of the !
United StateS or any of her Allies |
saved by herself after having been !
torpedoed by an enemy submarine, j
It is interesting to recall that the !
Mt. Vernon spent the anniversary of i
her torpedoing at Brest.
Mrs. Dismukes, who is now at her
home in this city, treasures highly
a history of the U. S. S. Mt. Vernon
which has been compiled from the
ship's official diary as a memorial
of those sailors of the ship who
made the supreme sacrifice and to ;
whom it is dedicated and to former i
shipmates who since the World War I
have been honorably discharged. •
This book is of unusual interest and |
contains among other illustrations a J
line etching of Captain Dismukes. I
The history also gives in detail the I
incidents of the torpedoing of the
great ship and 'he splendid achieve
ment of Its commanding officer in
getting the transport back to Brest.
It is a vivid narrative of one of the
most remarkable incidents of the
war and there is nothing finer than
the special orders of Captain Dis
mukes In appreciation of the con
duct of tie officers and men when
the Mt. Vernon was attacked and in
danger of going down. There are
also official communications in com
mendation from the Secretary of
War and others in authority. Thirty
five men were killed in the explosion
and thirteen injured, one of whom
subsequently died. It's a wonderful
storv of heroism told in the most
s-.Ouest way by Captain Dismukes in
his official reports.
Harrisburg has a special interest
in this brave naval officer and his
assignment to the command of the
training station at Newport is a
recognition of his brilliant service.
