- USS Pasadena (CL-65) Captain from 27 May 1946 · Relieved on 13 January 1947
Marion Emerson Murphy had Pasadena (CL-65) after the occupation cruise. NavSource lists him as captain from 27 May 1946 to 13 January 1947 and gives his final rank as vice admiral. DANFS does not name him. In those months the ship finished her west-coast overhaul period, went west again in September 1946, and by November was in division exercises in Micronesia.
No birth, death, or hometown was in a source that names Marion Emerson Murphy.
Nothing before the cruiser is in the NavSource line.
His dated command begins after the fighting. NavSource starts him on 27 May 1946, the day it relieves James Henry Doyle, and relieves him on 13 January 1947, the day it starts Julius Max Berrey.
The list prints vice admiral as his final rank and names no later ship.
