Lt. Joseph Orleck was the commanding officer of USS NAUSET, which sank after an attack in the Gulf of Salerno in 1943. Lt. Orleck was reported missing in action and presumed dead the following year.“This is an example of a miracle. This ship was going to be scrapped if she wasn’t saved by the people of Jacksonville,” he said.
“She was one of the workhorses of the United States Navy,” Bob Orleck said. “Men who really wanted to serve their country and wanted to preserve our freedoms.”It is free to visit, although donations are accepted.
