The Naval career of Commodore Schuyler F. Heim covered over 43 of the most dynamic years in the Navy and the Nation. From the dreadnoughts of the Great White Fleet to the destroyers for bases exchange with Great Britain prior to World War II, he was involved in many of the events that have become icons of those years: North Atlantic convoy duty during WWI, Yangzte River patrol during the Chinese Nationalist Revolution, Atlantic Neutrality Patrol prior to WWII. He commanded five separate ships including cruisers and destroyers, and he commanded Naval Operating Base Terminal Island, San Pedro, California, of the largest Naval Bases during WWII. Through his leadership, technical expertise, and forthright personality he was able to organize and commission a Naval supply and repair base that was instrumental in the Pacific War effort. His contributions to the Navy and the nation were exactly what was needed at exactly the right time.
