Description
Footnote: Joseph Charles Luiz was born on January 22, 1922 in Vallejo, California, the son of Mary Cinquini. He had one sister, Josephine Agnes Robinson (nee Luiz) and three brothers, Edward John Luiz, and two others who were serving during the war: George Cornelius Luiz (who was serving aboard the Tambor-class diesel-electric submarine USS Tambor (SS-198) and the Cleveland-class light cruiser USS Wilkes-Barre (CL-103)) and John Celestine Luiz (who was serving aboard the destroyer tender USS Dixie (AD-14) and the Balao-class submarine USS Carp (SS/AGSS/IXSS-338). He attended St. Mary's College High School in Peralta Park, Berkeley, California, where he graduated Grade 12. He had been employed for seven months as a Night Clerk at the Hotel Van in Willitis, California, when he signed his Application for Enlistment on December 8, 1941 in San Francisco, California, the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He noted that his father was deceased, that his mother was living and that he sought a "career" in the United States Navy. His mother, Mary Cinquini, signed a Parental/Guardian Consent Form on December 9th, due to the fact her son was enlisting as a minor under the age of 21. Luiz entered service as an Apprentice Seaman (3764631) at the Naval Recruiting Station in San Francisco, California, signing on for six years' service on December 13, 1941, at the age of 19, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Mary Cinquini of San Francisco, stating that he had no previous military service and that he was not married. He was transferred to the Naval Training Station in San Diego, California, where he received instruction in the nomenclature, assembly, disassembly, safety precautions and proper method of firing Lewis and Browning machine guns, .30 caliber, M2, aircraft fixed and flexible types, given gas mask instruction and instruction in the gas chamber, qualifying as a swimmer in the "C" test, having the substance of the contents of the Soldier's and Sailor's Civil Relief Act of 1940 and of Public Resolution No. 96, 76th Congress explained to him, and completed a marksman course at the United States Marine Corps rifle range in La Jolla. Once his recruit training had been completed, Luiz was transferred to the Northampton-class cruiser USS Louisville (CA-28) on January 5, 1942. He was named Seaman Second Class on June 30, 1942 and was at sea with USS Louisville on October 1st. Luiz was to see two other promotions, first to Seaman First Class on March 1, 1943, then appointed Signalman Third Class on June 1, 1943. On November 11, 1942, the cruiser USS Louisville departed San Francisco for Pearl Harbor, continuing, after a few days on to the South Pacific, escorting several troop transports as far as New Caledonia. She then proceeded north to Espiritu Santo to Join Task Force 67, which was then battling Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands.
