ALASKA INSIGNIA OF USS ANCHORAGE lLSD-36l The ANCHORAGE insignia portrays both the origin and meaning of her name, including the reason for her existence and depicting that she is the first of her type in a new class of Dock Landing Ship. Symbolized in the anchor and line are stability and security which this ship will provide for the U.S. Navy on the high seas. The Latin term "Sui Generis" is literally translated to mean "ofa particular kind or first of a class." The ship is unique in tvvo respects, first, it is the largest Dock Landing Ship ever constructed and second, it is the first ship to be named after the historical city of Anchorage, Alaska. Finally, the star on the map of Alaska depicts the largest city in the largest State of thevljnion - ANCHORAGE. .-4""""? l l l l l - 4 i ..4.,..g fi- l -1 , """' ' -,...,:..-...f,.-.,, V .,,..-..- ---- M- - A - t"1T' ' """"' V Q I T ' T ' ' T ' 4'T"" ' 'ATM' V f aw: My P' , f ,E f X I I - l 4' 1 A Vi V. x jp b CQMMAMINQE - '11 , ' A. if X , 2 ' ' 'Y - g A 3 Q ,. , .Q,,. ,:,-L: - ..- Captaln Percy Stuart Beaman attended North Carollna State College H942 1943l prlor to entering the U S Merchant Marine Academy Following graduation he sailed on several merchant tankers In various enguneerlng capacltues After World War ll Captain BEAMAN was employed as an Engineer with the Commonwealth Southern Corporatlon In Jackson Muchlgan He was called to actlve duty nn 1951 to serve as Engineering Offlcer of the USS EDMONDS CDE 406l He then served In the following bullets Maternal Officer Staff Escort Squadron Eleven Executuve Offncer USS VVHITEHUBST lDE 634l Commanding Officer USS STABK COUNTY lLST 1134l ln June 1958 he entered the U S Naval War College as a student In the Command and Staff Course and was subsequently ordered In August 1959 to duty In the Office of the Chlef of Naval Operations He then served as Executive Officer USS JONAS INGBAM lDD 938l Commandlng Offucer USS BBOUGH lDE 148l and In the Office of the Jolnt Chiefs of Staff ln January 1966 Captain BEAMAN reported as a student rn the United Kingdom Jount Services Staff College and then assumed command of the USS ALLEN M SUMNEB lDD 692l Upon belng relieved Captaln BEAMAN reported for duty as the Prospective Commandlng Officer USS ANCHORAGE lLSD 36l Captain BEAMAN was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Navy Commendatlon Medal both with Combat V for ervlce aboard SUMNEB IH Vietnamese coastal waters an 1967 ln addltlon he wears the Presldentual Unlt Cutatlon Badge for service ln Korea aboard EDMONDS In 1951 1952 He also holds the Korean Service Medal lthree starsl United Natlons Service Medal National Defense Servlce Medal lone starl Navy Expeditionary Medal Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal Vietnam Service Medal ltwo starsl and Bepubllc of Vietnam Campalgn Medal wlth device Captaln BEAMAN IS married to the former Lols Peel of Benton Harbor Mlchagan Hls wife and two daughters Beth and Janet reside In Tustin California Hls son Larry IS currently serving In the Unlted States Army 1 1 ' ' I 1 1 I I 1 ' . - 1 1 ' I ' 1 I - 1 . . 1 - ' 1 , ' ' 1 - - 11 11 I ' ' f 5 . - I I I 1 1 ' , . .
