    Radioman 3rd Class Roy Joseph Miletta

    After the USS Tang was lost on October 25, 1944, Radioman 3rd Class Roy Joseph Miletta’s family, like many others, received a telegram from the US Navy informing them that their son was missing in action. However, a second telegram brought more welcome news. It confirmed that Roy was transferred to shore before the Tang began her fifth and final patrol. (This telegram also has the distinction of being the 100,000th artifact to join the collection of The National WWII Museum.)

    A log book kept by Miletta records the fateful event that would require his transfer off the submarine. In an entry dated September 25, 1944, he writes, “Underway as before, today I had a little accident, got the end of my thumb cut off, got caught in a water tight door, looks pretty black, may get transferred at Midway.”
