m u ARRIVES III USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41) AROUND THE WORLD CRUISE 1984 THE LOST ARK OH on a mission of a great need. Rode those Razorback men ready to heed. Underway always, never willing to park. On came the RIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Sagas will say of those exploits someday, Long after their bodies have stopped their decay. History will show the steady handed mark. Of those fearless RIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. From Aden to Socotra, they followed the " GRAD, " Underway again, every man was glad. At Dehalak we saw that the job was no lark. On steamed the RIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. To Suez or not to Suez? That was the question, Or should we go in the other direction. That decision belonged to the great deciders, But it would always affect the LOST ARK ' s RIDERS. On through the Suez, the ARK she came, Writing on history, her wonderous name. Crew of crews, this one ' s made its mark. So go the RIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. The fearless crew headed into the MED, Ensuring that that sea will never go Red. Just their presence alone lights up the dark. Those nuclear RIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. COMMANDING OFFICER Captain Malcolm W. Chase |i |i Captain Malcolm W.

Previous ARKANSAS ' s Include three ships of the fleet dating back to 1863 and one Confederate States ship. The mission of ARKANSAS is to operate offensively in the presence of air, surface, or subsurface threats independe ntly or with nuclear-powered or conventional strike forces, and to provide protection to these forces and other Naval forces and convoys against air, surface, or subsurface threats. USS ARKANSAS is the fourth " VIRGINIA " class cruiser, and the ninth nuclear-powered cruiser to be built for the U. S. Navy. To accomplish her designated mission, ARKANSAS is equipped with a fully integrated Combat System combining four elements: target detection, digital data processing, command and control, and weapons control. Weapons delivery is accomplished with two multi-purpose dual arm guided missile launching systems with ASROC (anti-submarine rocket) and TARTAR SM-1 surface to air, surface to surface capability; two 5 " . 54 caliber light weight gun mounts; two 3 barrel torpedo launchers; and two Harpoon surface to surface missile launchers. In addition to long range surface air search and fire control sensors, ARKANSAS utilizes the AN SQS-53A long range sonar to round out her capabilities as a three-dimensional warship.

While on deployment, pass- ing the time seems to be the only thing to do. This is done by many things, mostly work. Almost everyone fell into the same daily routine, and varying from this helped the time pass faster.

" The Battle Group was made up of nine U.S. Navy ships, including USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65). ARKANSAS ' mission as part of the Battle Group was to serve as the early warning detection system, providing an added shield of security for the carri- er. I i 87 SOVIET BATTLE GROUP While underway in the Indi- an Ocean, ARKANSAS was called away from Battle Group Foxtrot to conduct surveillance operations on the Soviet Battle Group, including the Soviet Helicopter cruiser LENIN- GRAD. ARKANSAS was also called upon to follow the Rus- sian Kilo-Class submarine. Along for the ride was an intelligence group from USS ENTERPRISE. With their added knowledge ARKANSAS was able to gather valuable information about the Soviet Navy. I 89 GOOD COMPANY PROJECT HANDCLASP The Handclasp program is used to enhance the Navy image at home and abroad. Approxi- mately $6,300.00 worth of school books, rice, high protein food, food drink beverage mix, and first aid materials were onloaded AR- KANSAS while in the Philippines. After carrying the materials through the cruise, ARKANSAS crewmembers were given the opportunity to off-load Project Handclasp during a port call in Bridgetown, Barbados. St. Pat- rick ' s R.C.
