Eugene Blair
Chief Machinist's Mate Eugene Blair (Tremont, Virginia, April 26, 1908–Darwin, Australia, February 19, 1942) was a United States Navy sailor of World War II who had a ship named for him.
==Navy career==
Blair enlisted in the United States Navy at Richmond, Virginia, on November 23, 1929. After instruction at the Naval Training Station, Hampton Roads, Virginia, Blair served on four ships during his first two-year enlistment—the destroyer tenders USS ''Dobbin'' (AD-3) and USS ''Whitney'' (AD-4), and the destroyers USS ''Preston'' (DD-327) and USS ''Leary'' (DD-158), before being transferred to the new destroyer USS ''McDougal'' (DD-358) on December 23, 1936. Transferring to the transport USS ''Chaumont'' (AP-5) on November 4, 1939, Blair was discharged at the Naval Operating Base, Norfolk, Virginia, on December 8 of the same year.
Blair reenlisted on January 3, 1940, at Boston, Massachusetts, and, following service at the New York receiving station, joined USS ''William B. Preston'' (AVP-20) on June 14, 1940, when that small seaplane tender was recommissioned. He remained with that warship through her transfer to the Asiatic Fleet that December and was still serving in her when war engulfed the Far East in December 1941. ''William B. Preston'' tended the PBY Catalina flying boats of Patrol Wing (PatWing) 10 in Philippine waters when the fighting began and continued this duty in the Netherlands East Indies before retiring to Port Darwin, Australia, in mid-February 1942.
