Sample Biography
Joy W. Beezley, was the son
of a Nebraska farmer who enlisted in
the Navy in 1928. He spent his early
Navy years on the wrestling teams
aboard the USS Mississippi, USS
California, and the USS Richmond.
He won many wrestling honors, including two All Navy Championship
belts.
In 1933 he was transferred to the
USS Arizona where he spent six and
a half years as a member of her crew.
While on board he was assigned to
the second division and served as the ships’ wrestling team
trainer and coach. He married his sweetheart, Frieda H. Hahne,
in 1936 and they made their home in Long Beach, California.
In October 1939, he was transferred to the repair ship USS Medusa. In August of 1941, the home port of the USS Medusa was
changed from San Pedro to Pearl Harbor.
On the morning of December 7th, while reading the Sunday
paper and enjoying a cup of coffee, the attack began. Beezley
was in charge of the forward battery and the 51 caliber surface
gun. The officer with the keys for the magazine was ashore.
Since the magazine was locked, he gave the order to take the
fire ax to the lock. The USS Medusa was credited with sinking one midget sub and downing two planes. After the attack,
the USS Medusa went to work in her primary role as a repair
ship. Beezley was promoted to the rank of Warrant Officer in
1943 and went on to serve in Bougainville, Guadalcanal, and
the Solomon Islands.
He retired in 1958 as a Lieutenant after a distinguished
military career. Submitted by daughter, Carol L. Gladys.
