| The U.S.S. Tabberer was laid down at Houston,Texas on January 12th, 1943 by the Brown Shipbuilding Company. She was launched on February 18th,1944, sponsored by Mrs. Mary M. Tabberer, and was commissioned on May 23rd, 1944 with Lt. Henry Lee Plage,USNR in command. On June 27th,Tabberer headed toward Bermuda for her shakedown training. At the end of a fortnight's post-shakedown at the Boston Navy Yard, she got underway on August 16th to escort the U.S.S. Severn (AO-61) to the Hawaiian Islands. The two ships transited the Panama Canal later that month, and reached Pearl Harbor on September 7th. For over a month, the destroyer escort conducted underway training in the waters surrounding the islands. Her exercises included antisubmarine warfare drills, and gunfire practice. On October 16th, Tabberer sortied from Pearl Harbor with Task Group (TG) 12-7, a hunter/killer group built around the U.S.S. Anzio (CVE-57). Upon arrival at Eniwetok on the 23rd, the ships joined Admiral Halsey's 3rd Fleet, and on October 27, stood out of Eniwetok as TG 30-7. After stopping at Ulithi during the first three days of November, the task group headed for the 3rd Fleet fueling group's operating area to conduct antisubmarine sweeps. On November 18th, TG 30-7 registered its first kill when Tabberer's sister ship the Lawrence C. Taylor (DE 415) sent Japanese submarine I-41 to the bottom, after a coordinated depth charge attack. Following a replenishment period at Ulithi, Taberrer sortied with TG 30-7 on December 9th to resume antisubmarine sweeps of the Philippine Sea during Task Force 38's Luzon strikes, in support of the Mindoro landings. On December 17th, as Tabberer was steaming in company with the 3rd Fleet fueling group to the east of the Philippine Islands,rising wind and a choppy sea forced her to break off preparations to take on more fuel. The barometer dropped precipitously as the weather grew worse. By evening, the small but powerful warship was fighting a full typhoon . During the night, Tabberer lost steerage way and could not fight her way out of the deep troughs. She frequently took rolls up to 60 degrees, and on several occasions,approached an angle of 72 degrees from the vertical. History of events and performance of LCDR Henry L. Plage,USNR, Commanding, and crew of the USS Tabberer (DE418) during "Typhoon Cobra"" by LCDR Archie G. DeRyckere,USN (Ret.),survivor USS Hull (DD350) follows: Captain Plage entered the Navy early in 1941 as an ensign by way of ROTC at Georgia Tech where he graduated in 1937. His early days as a landlubber came to an abrupt end in May 1942 when he was given command of a sub chaser for convoy duty on the U.S. East coast and the Caribbean during the period of German U-boats in those waters. Next he was executive officer of the DE LeHardy and won quick promotion to commanding officer of the USS Donaldson (DE 44) which he commanded during Marshall Islands operations,after that he became skipper of the USS Tabberer and now suddenly about 10:00 AM on 18 December,1944 the USS Tabberer and her crew were called upon to stand up against the greatest fury any mans ocean could produce. Typhoon "Cobra". The crew put up a valiant fight , controlling flooding,ballasting continuously, to offset heavy rolling and making constant emergency repairs. Captain Plage performed his duties with imagination and determination to save his ship. Soon due to heavy rolling and extreme pitching the ships mast collapsed and luckily no one was injured nor serious damage caused as the mast was cut loose and cast over the side by a damage control crew. The ship seemed to ride easier. Captain Plage recognized his ship was in serious trouble and dedicated his every effort toward saving his command with the support of doctrine later postulated so strongly by Admiral Nimitz that each task force and individual ship commander is responsible for the safety and survival of their command and will never willingly hazard their command by proceeding under orders into the eye of a typhoon and he promised to summarily relieve anyone who did so of their command. He directed them to inform him immediately for relief from such orders. In June 1945 Admiral Nimitz relieved two of his senior fleet and task force commanders who steamed into the eye of a typhoon during the Okinawa campaign. His promise was kept. At 1205 PM on 18 December,1944 the USS HULL DD 350 sank and about 0950 PM the Tabberer recovered a Hull survivor,Lindquist, and asked him which ship he had fallen overboard from. He said, "I did not fall overboard, my ship sank and there are other survivors as I could hear their whistles and see their lights".Captain Plage commenced a search for other survivors and in one hour and a half had recovered eleven survivors and by 0950 AM on the nineteenth 27 men had been rescued. During this period of rescue operations Captain Plage had originated calls for assistance stating that swimmers were under attack by sharks and barracuda. He was having great difficulty maneuvering his ship in the heavy seas and was concerned that the Tabberer might break up. It was during this period that Captain Plage requested assistance from a ship in our destroyer squadron with our squadron commander on board and was refused, as the squadron commander was concerned that the ship might break up in rescue operations. I was afloat in my life jacket with two seaman attached to me and late the evening of the eighteenth I read a flashing light message, which said,"we are leaving the area" and I determined later that the message was to the Tabberer as we could see the Tabberers' 24 inch searchlight sweeping the seas, captain Plage advised me later that he had put out six requests to ships in the area to assist his rescue efforts and all refused and stated they were leaving for an assigned rendezvous, none of those ships rescued any survivors and they were surrounded by countless survivors drowning or under attack by sharks and barracuda. Captain Plage had been ordered to a rendezvous and he refused to leave the area as he was rescuing survivors. I would not be sitting here typing this report if he had complied. Captain Plage did everything that the Nimitz doctrine implies, he was the epitome of seamanship and command and the finest commanding officer in the Third Fleet. At 0110 PM a message was received from Commander Third Fleet that directed the Tabberer to proceed to rendezvous with other damaged ships 90 miles to the south to arrive there by sunset and then proceed to Ulithi Base. It was believed that other men were in the water but so scattered that it would be very difficult to find them .In other words "abandon them". I was one of 27 men who had been rescued and Captain Plage decided to ignore his orders and advised his seniors that he was still finding survivors and sharks and barracuda were attacking. That belief prevailed with senior commanders until the twentieth when a more intense search was ordered as Captain Plage had a total of 41 rescues for the Tabberer. He was ordered to abandon the search three times before he complied on the twentieth and rescued 14 survivors of the Spence DD 512 on his way to a rendezvous for a total of 55. He probably would have rescued many more sailors if he had been allowed to continue before proceeding to rendezvous. The first of an additional 37 survivors: Swearer DE 186 (9), Gatling DD 671 (1), Knapp DD 653 (3), Cogswell DD 651 (1), Brown DD 546 (19), Robert E. Keller DE 419 (4),were rescued after 0340 AM on the 20th for a grand total of 92 survivors through 21 December. A total of 756 sailors were drowned,eaten by sharks and barracuda or went down with their ships. One empty life raft was recovered on December 20 and one on December 21. Two empty floater nets were recovered on December 20 and three on December 21. Those nets and rafts were probably occupied by survivors on the 18th and 19th. A number of dead sailors in life jackets were found. Information from deck logs discloses that the Tabberer was the lone ship searching for survivors from 1205 on the 18th to 0340 AM on the 20th,a period of 39 hours.A period of feasting for attacking sharks and barracuda. A period impossible for survival without a life jacket or raft . A period impossible to accept having only one ship out of 131 ships searching for survivors . A period attesting that 756 sailors had been abandoned by everyone but the Tabberer and her valiant commanding officer, Henry L. Plage. Captain Plage said many times his crew would swim out to rescue a survivor only to find that the sharks and barracuda had killed them so they would cut them loose from their life jackets and they would sink to eternity after a short prayer by the Tabberer. One of the reasons so many survivors were from the Hull is that our chief boatswain mate Ray Schultz had provided the entire crew with new kapok life jackets with a whistle and a one celled survivor light. Anyone without a life jacket was lucky to live through the night. The USS Knapp recovered three survivors from the Hull after swimming 44 hours and 33 minutes wearing a kapok lifejacket.Another item about attacks by sharks and barracuda of which there were many. The crew members of the Tabberer fired at sharks with machine gun and rifle fire from on deck and performed as heroes as they,(including the executive officer) swam out many times without jackets among he sharks to assist survivors aboard Ship. Crew member,BM1 Purvis attached to a tending line was pulled under as the ship rolled,came up on the other side,was rescued and went back in the water to rescue survivors. Purvis said " I am probably the only sailor in the present United States Navy that has been keel hauled (an early day punishment, during the days of sail ships, delivered to sailors ). During night operations Captain Plage steamed with all deck lights, including the large 24 inch searchlight, on and all deck blowers turned off to better see survivors and hear survivors' whistles. He chose to disregard the threat by enemy submarines as he felt they were very ineffective in the heavy seas and he was more interested in saving lives. The superior performance by Captain Plage and his crew is the absolute reason that 55 USS Hull, and USS Spence crew members were rescued by the USS Tabberer and 37 crew members from the Hull, Spence and Monaghan were rescued by other ships due to the fact that Captain Plage had convinced CTF 3 that drowning sailors needed rescue effort.All rescues were effected by destroyers.Capital ships proved useless other than to provide scouting aircraft. One report heard later by survivors was "we could see the lights and hear the whistles but we couldn't see anyone" Schultz said " maybe the sharks put on the lights and blew the whistles".Captain Plage and his crew did a magnificent job and a Medal of Honor is very appropriate.
