COX
is the abbreviation for Coxswain. The individual would be an E-4
Boatswain's Mate. Today we would call that a Boatswain's Mate Third
Class (BM3). In today's Navy the term is used to refer to any
individual running a small boat or landing craft and doesn't refer to a
rank or a rating.
Rochambeau
on 5 June 1943 resumed her passenger/casualty runs to the south and
southwest Pacific. Continuing those runs well into 1944, she added
ports in New
Guinea to her stops in September
1943
