NAVIGATION LT Todd W. Stephens Assistant Navigator Hey man, where are we? This ques- tion and many others like it are always being asked and the guys who answer them are the Quartermasters. The men of N Division had two very important jobs during the Ara- bian Gulf deployment . . . getting the ship safely through the Suez Canal, Straits of Bab-al-Manoab, the Straits of Hormuz and into the Gulf and getting it back again. Other than answering Questions and standing vigilant watches, tne QM ' s also ensured the safe navigation of the ship, plotted courses and rendezvous for UN- REPs, briefed the CO and XO on upcoming f ort visits, shot stars , maintained deck o s, and kept a constant record of the ship ' s position. They also ensured the crew knew where they were bj maintaining a chart on the mess decks with the ship ' s position updated daily. Thoup;h small in number, the Naviga- tion team is an important part of BAIN- BRIDGE ' s crew of hard-charging profes- sionals. QMC James P. McHugh QM2 Calvin ). Krone QM3 Bernard F.

MEDICAL On this deployment, each member of the Medical Department provided his own special talents and training to maintain the professionalism needed to ensure quality medical care was available while in the Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean. To appreciate what these men do, here is a sample day at sea. By the time sick call begins daily water testing has been completed and their laundry is in the washer. Our shipmates gather at the door to complain about colds, sea sickness, muscle pain, and many other med- ical problems. As the mornmg closes, a burn has been treated, a cavity filled, and several physicals complet- ed. Soon the noon meal is sampled, found satisfactory, and properly logged. Narcotics and other controlled drugs are inventoried, a sanitation inspection is per- formed on all messing spaces, and message traffic is routed. Training is conducted for stretcher bearers and records are checked to ensure correct treatment. Then it is time to perform preventitive maintenance on designated equipment. Finally, the computer is updated, and the reports of the day are typed. Dinner starts and is entered in the log. The work day is over, yet surgical packs need to be wrapped and sterilized, shelves restocked, records filed, inventories begun or completed, first aid exams administered and paper work completed. Soon each corpsman tries to get some sleep only to get a tap on his shoulder, Doc, can you help me? I got cut bur- ned etc . It ' s just a normal day as part of BAIN- BRIDGE Medical, the finest in the fleet. LT Michael T. Richardson Medical Officer HM1 (SW) Charles L. Fugate HN Patrick A. Baltimore HN Michael R. Robinson

CHAPLAIN DEPARTMENT The Chaplain Department played a major role on BAINBRIDCE during the Arabian Gulf 91-92 Deployment. Chaplain Charles Kollar and RP1 Michael E. Overton began preparations long before the cruise started by developing and presenting pre-deploy- ment briefs for couples, singles, and children. They also produced a vastly improved series of Family Grams which were mailed to all BAINBRIDCE families throughout the cruise, in addition Chaplain Kollar was editor of the Anchor , a bi-weekly shipboard inspirational newsletter, as well as author of the Care Line messages which the Captain recorded each week for BAINBRIDCE families at home. Acting as pastor, confidant, adviser and counselor, Chaps was actively involved with the crew throughout the deployment. Handling over 120 American Red Cross emergency messages, he delivered good news and bad, comforted those in grief, assisted in sending crew members home on emergency leave when needed, and rejoiced together with new fathers. He also ran the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society office on board, assuring that financial needs were addressed quickly and properly. Helping to keep morale high, RP1 Overton was everywhere on the ship, including the nightly news broadcasts which he hosted along with NCI Smiley ) Steverson. In continuing to take care of all the paperwork, he freed the Chaplain to serve the crew more effectively. RP1 also cared for his shipmates by serving as the ship ' s financial counselor. He personally answered numerous financial American Red Cross requests from families for monetary aid, working with the servicemen to find the right solution. The Chaplain ' s Bible Study was a regular fixture on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Working together with the Catholic Lay Readers, the Chaplain provided weekly religious services on board that were well attended and appreciated. Furthermore, to help meet the spiritual needs of other faiths, the Chaplain Department hosted Chaplains of other religious faiths on board BAINBRIDCE whenever possible. Al-Noor f )r
