Other Memories
McIntire, a native of Salem, Oregon, had received his medical education at that city's Willamette University, from which he graduated in 1912. After five years in private practice, he joined the Navy Medical Corps as a lieutenant (j.g.) upon America's entry into World War I, serving aboard the cruiser USS New Orleans, which escorted transatlantic convoys and, after the armistice, was the U.S. station ship in Vladivostok, Russia. Eventually he was transferred to a naval hospital in the Philippines. McIntire returned stateside in 1920 and after postgraduate studies.

CL-22. The First U. S. Navy ship commissioned the USS New Orleans, CL-22, was a 3769 ton protected cruiser. The ship supported naval operations off the coast of Cuba in the Spanish-American War and convoy escort duty in World War I. New Orleans served two tours of Asiatic service and one in the eastern Pacific up to 1917, when World War I requirements called her to the Atlantic. She escorted convoys until January 1918, and then sailed for further duty in Asiatic waters, where she spent the rest of her active career. Designated PG-34 in 1920 and CL-22 in 1921, New Orleans was decommissioned in November 1922 and sold for scrapping in February 1930.
