Who Have Served Aboard This Gallant Ship
[USS Portland - Heavy Cruiser]
[The Marine Detachment consisted of less than 50 members and operated as part of the Gunnery Division in most warships. For the most part, a Marine's tour at sea was about two (2) years even in wartime, after which he served shore duty or with the "Mud Marines". Today (Sept. 2008), only 4 World War II Marines survive.]
