James Henry Doyle (1897-1982) was born in Jamaica NY, graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1919, and received a Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School in 1929. During WWII he served as the Navy / Marine Corps’ Amphibious Force Operations Officer for the Solomon Islands campaign. He later commanded USS Pasadena (CL 65). During the Korean War he commanded Amphibious Group 1, and was responsible for the invasion of Inchon in 1950. Later, when Communist Chinese forces invaded North Korea and trapped US forces, he directed the Hungnam withdrawal ... an amphibious landing in reverse. In an operation characterized by ingenuity and superb Naval gunfire support, the 1st Marine Division, the 3rd and 7th U.S. Army Divisions, and 100,000 Korean civilians were evacuated under the sweep of heavy enemy gunfire without a single allied casualty. Admiral Doyle was awarded the Navy Distinguished Service Medal and the Army Silver Star. He retired from the Navy in 1953, and established a law practice in Austin TX.
USS Doyle FFG-39 is the first ship named in his honor.
