Credit for this page is to be shared: It was first sent to me by Tom Coulson EM2(SS) USS Batfish (SS-310) 1954/1957, who also credited it to New Jersey Tin Can Sailors, CMD Jerry Stone. As it turns out, the full text ultimately came from the All Hands page on the Navy.mil website, which has every issue archived in PDF format.
The first “issue” of All Hands was printed as the Bureau of Navigation News Bulletin No. 1 (dated Aug. 30, 1922). Twenty years later, the title was changed to Bureau of Naval Personnel Information Bulletin. As America claimed “Victory in Europe” on the cover of June 1945, the magazine’s new banner read, All Hands, and the name stuck.
