During the Battle of Savo Island on August 9, 1942, Fireman Vincent Kitts fought to escape the burning USS Astoria after Japanese shells ripped through her decks. Trapped behind a jammed hatch, he helped break it open and leapt into the sea without a life preserver. After six hours in shark-infested waters, he was rescued. Having already survived the sinkings of Lexington and Yorktown, Kitts called the Astoria crew “men with guts” who “stayed at their battle stations until ordered to leave.” #WW

The USS Astoria (CL-90) was a Cleveland-class light cruiser that served in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1949, primarily in the Pacific during World War II, earning five battle stars for actions in the Philippines, Okinawa, and supporting strikes on Japan, before being decommissioned and scrapped in the 1970s. Originally named Wilkes-Barre, she was renamed to honor the heavy cruiser lost at the Battle of Savo Island, and served as an anti-aircraft screen for fast carriers, later participating in po

Thescaryfact ™ on Instagram: "In 1942, during WWII, 19-year-old Signalman Elgin Staples survived the sinking of the USS Astoria by clinging to an inflatable life belt. The device kept him afloat until rescuers arrived. Later, Staples discovered that the life belt had been inspected and approved at the factory by his own mother, Vera. Her work on the production line had unknowingly saved her son’s life. 👉 For more incredible survival stories, follow @thescaryfact."

#OTD in 1990, Greenpeace protesters dangled from the Astoria Bridge in Oregon in an attempt to block USS New Jersey from entering the Columbia River. The effort failed.
