6k | Paul Henry Carr (13 February 1924 - 25 October 1944) was born on a farm near Webber Falls, Oklahoma and graduated from Checotah High School in May 1942. Joining
the Navy on 27 May 1942, he married Goldie Lee Jamison in October 1943, before receiving orders to the USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE 413) in April 1944. During the Battle Off Samar
on 25 October 1944, Carr was serving as gun captain of Roberts' Mount 52. After the gun had fired approximately 300 rounds the mount lost power ramming. After seven or eight
more shots the air injection system was lost and soon a round cooked off before the breech could be completely shut, destroying the gun and killing most of the gun crew. GM3 Carr stayed at
his station and although grievously injured repeatedly tried to load the last remaining shell into the destroyed gun by hand. He soon died of his injuries. GM3 Carr was awarded the Silver
Star. USS Carr (FFG 52) (1985-2013) was the first ship named in his honor. |
