Accompanied by his wife,
Bernice, and in the proud
presence of four generations of
family, Master Chief Hospital
Corpsman Trine Moorhead after
30 years of active service with the
U. S. Navy was retired with
honors in ceremonies conducted
in the Naval Hospital in
Bremerton on November 19.
T h e N avy Commendation
Medal, given in recognition of
sustained high performance, was
awarded to Trine Moorhead by
the secretary of the Navy,
bringing to a total of ten the
impressive medals he has received.
Also presented was a mahogany
plaque, with intricately carved
border, bearing his insignia and
listing his 17 duty stations.
In a letter of commendation
issued by Commanding Officer
Captain R. G. Brown it is
emphasized that Trine Moorhead,
who enlisted in the Navy on Nov.
20, 1 940, advanced rapidly
through the enlisted ratings to be
appointed Chief Pharmacist's
Mate on Oct. 1, 1943. Thus
established was an all-time
all-Navy record for advancement
through grades to Chief; the
record still stands.
In 1958 Congress authorized
two more grades of Chief, Senior
and Master. Trine Moorhead was
promoted to Senior Chief in May
of 1959 and to Master Chief in
December, 1960. He was among
the first of the Chief Hospital
Corpsmen selected for the new
Senior Chief rating.
Although born in
Indianapolis, Ind. Moorhead was
raised in the bay area of
California and was graduated
from Oakland High School and
from Williams Junior College in
Berkeley. He was employed by
General Motors and worked for
the JRV Mining Co. in the Sierras
prior to joining the Navy in San
Francisco.
Trine Moorhead was on the
USS Nevada when it was sunk in
Pearl Harbor. "For two weeks the
ship's company slept in a sugar
cane field," he recalls, "and then
moved into the Block Arena, a
Navy recreation center
temporarily utilized as barracks,
where I slept on the concrete
between rows of seats. I finally
tried a pool table as a bed, but
that was even worse than the
floor."
When his ship came to
Bremerton for repairs in May of
1942 he met Bernice Latzel, who
became his wife. He also fell in
love with the Pacific Northwest in
general and with Shelton in
particular. "I knew then," he said,
"that this was the place in which I
wished to retire.
Serving on two destroyers
during the Korean Campaign, and
in the Aleutians on the Attu
Campaign, through the Canal
Zone on Convoy duty in the
North Atlantic, active in the lwo
Jima and the Okinawa Campaigns,
Trine Moorhead was in Tokyo
Bay when the Peace Treaty was
signed, following which was
landed from his ship the first
cavalry division to enter
Yokahama.
Moorhead, in July, 1969, sold
his San Diego home and
embarked on his "Twilight
Cruise", the last of his career. He
now enjoys his new house in
Parkwood, and anticipates the
years of hunting and fishing that
lie before him.
On the spacious mantle of the
Moorhead's living room there
stands a Navy Clock presented to
him at his retirement ceremonies
by his shipmates; and filling a
corner of the room there is a huge
split-leaf philodendron plant.
"The philodendron was
originally in the Chief's Mess in
:he Bremerton Naval Hospital,"
Moorhead explained, "and as the
leading Chief in the hospital I was
continually growling about the
fact that it was neglected. They
did try to take care of it, but it
wasn't done the way 1 thought it
should be."
At the close of the ceremonies
when the Moorheads returned to
their car, sitting beside it was the
huze and sprawling urnful of
vegetation. "It's all yours," "he
was told, "including the problem
of getting it into the car."
Retired Master Chief Hospital
Corpsman Trine Moorhead and
his wife have two daughters,
Joyce Schneider and Cathy
Keyser. They have a grandson,
Chad Schneider, who made his
first public appearance at the age
of one month when he attended
his grandfather's retirement
