85.  US NAVY Officer's Document File - USS ARIZONA ! + commander LST Flotilla Six - IE SHIMA
Document and orders file for Lt. James S. LAIDLAW covering his service from 1926 to 1933. Her served on many ships including the USS Tennessee, USS Salt Lake City & the USS ARIZONA!  A little internet research shows that he later, promoted to Captain, served as Commander LST Flotilla Six and was the tactical commander of the amphibious assault on Iheya Shima. I found also where he was the commander of USS Newport news in 1949.  There are also many war diary hits on Fold3 for him. Needs more research!
