By WESTON WATSON As Told to Bob Leonard The first Japanese) attack on the Lex blow out tha gun next to my station, killed one man and washed another overbourd but our gun got two plnnoa bo fore we also were put out of action. , Aa a aeaman aecond class I bellovo I was one of the young est of the ship's 2800-mun crow my buttle station was on a port side gun from where I was fortunute enough to aee the entire attack from the time it a tar tod at a llttlo after 11 o'clock until it ended 20 min titoi later. First, to give you my back ground, I enlisted In the navy at Medford on February 10 of tills year and was sent to train ing school for several weeks, 1 was later , assigned to tho Lex ington and tha Coral sea battle was my first engagqmont. We worn at bnttlo stations when the first blow jtruck. Tho first Jop torpedo hit almost di rectly below our gun. Tho sec ond burst in almost the aamo placo'and accounted for the gun next to ourar killing one of tho crow and washing another ovor tho aide. .... Succeeding lilts wounded one of our crew and started a fire In tha boat pocket which we put out but which also put ua out of action.. , .,r..'- " But before that wo blasted y two p 1 a n e a just after they dropped their fish off the port side, As they b a n k o d away from tho Lex wo hit 'cm broad side. Both crashed Into the sea. Tho pilots woro not raacued. When tho bnttlo waa ended our crew went to the flight deck where several of ua were assigned to put out smull fires which hud broken out immedi ately bolow. Bundwlchea were passed out but wo wero never fur from buttle stations. Wo didn't know when another group of planea might ottack, , Later In tho aftornoon the Ice cream wus broken out on the flight deck and wo all managed to got aome. I waa on the port aide when tho "abandon ship" order came shortly after 4 o'clock. I in flated my Ufa Jacket and slipped down a line Into the water whore I waa to be for almost three hours before being picked up by a whale boat, It took almost an hour and one-half to get away from the ship's sldo, aa tho current kept banging mo back into the hull. Lator I drifted around among other sailors keeping up a con versation aa wo floated. The wator waa warm and calm. I waa still fnlrly cn to the Lex when It began to blaze on the topside. Around 7 o'clock It was still daylight we were picked up by a whole boat and taken aboard a destroyer. At almost the same time, a terrific blast tore tho Lex amidships aa tho fires reached the high octane gaa storago tanka and, a little Inter, the warhead lockers (Warhooda are tho forward porta of torpedoes the part carrying the explosives), By that time, however, I was safe aboard tho destroyer. I was later transferred again and brought to the United States. My present leave expires this Saturday when I'must report for duty at a west coast port, My next assignment Is unknown but I hope it's again to" carrier duty.
