 My father, John Barrett, electrician, served on the USS Pres. Hayes A.P.A 20. The Pres. Hayes along with the USS Pres. Jackson, USS Pres. Adams and USS Crescent City were known as The UNHOLY FOUR. The Unholy Four have a reunion every year and I have attended the reunion in Las Vegas in 2006 and hope to attend the reunion this year. The sailors from the Unholy Four are a great bunch of guys-and very informative. Now I know why my father loved the Navy so much!
The USS Pres. Hayes was awarded the Navy Unit Commendation for exceptional meritorious service in action against the enemy
Japanese aircraft, shore batteries, submarine and mines in the South Pacific Campaign during the following operations:
The Guadacanal -Tulagi Landings-August 7-9 1942
The Consolidatin to the Southern Solomons- February 8-June 20, 1943
The Night Torpedo Actin off Malita-February 17, 1943
The Battle of Randova June 30, 1943
The Battle of Bougainville-Nov 1-8, 1943
The Landing at Guam July 21-26, 1944
The Landing at Leyte-Oct 20, 1944

The Marines were always happy to see The Unholy Four. You should be very proud of your grandpa.
