BARBEY HISTORY The thirty-seventh ship of the KNOX class of Fast Frig- ate. USS BARBEY (FF-1088) is one of the Navy ' s most versatile ships. As such, she embodies complex electronic systems and advanced weapons for anti-submarine war- fare, helicopter support, anti-air warfare, shore bombard- ment, high speed escort, search and rescue, surveillance, blockade and patrol. This versatility makes B.ARBEY ' re- presentative of the modern navy. BARBEY is the first ship of the fleet to be named in honor of Vice Admiral Daniel E. Barbey. USN. a leading pioneer and master of amphibious warfare during World IVar II. The primary mission of BARBEY is the detection and destruction of enemy submarines. To fulfill this mission, she is equipped with an underwater fire control system guided by a long range dual S0N.4R. In addition, she is equipped with a long range passive TOWED .4RRA} ' SYSTEM which extends the area of submarine detection to previously impossible distances. Along with highly so- phisticated radar, communications and fire control equip- ment. B.4RBEY carried anti-submarine rockets (ASROC). H.ARPOON missiles, a 5 54 caliber rapid-fire gun. a 20nvn Close-in Weapon System machine gun. and two anti-submarine homing torpedo launchers. In addition. B.ARBEY is designed to carry the L.4MPS helicopter for anti-submarine warfare. BARBEY is maimed by 20 officers and 270 enlisted men and displaces 4200 tons with a length of 438 feet and a 46 foot 9 ittch beam. Living quarters employ the latest concept in habitability. including air-conditioned messing and berthing compartments, recreation and lounge areas, as well as a barber shop, post office, ship ' s store, library, dispensary, laundry, and a modern, fully equipped galley. The ship is equipped with two boilers in a 1200 PS I steam system which provides 35,000 shaft horsepower to a single 5-bladed propeller capable of driving the ship at speeds in excess of 27 knots. Boiler combustion is auto- matically cotti rolled and watches in the fireroom and en- gine room are stood in air-conditioned booths. Fresh water evaporators provide up to 24.000 gallons of fresh water per day. In addition, the B.4RBEY is equipped with two gyro- controlled fin stabilizers designed to make a more stable platform for the LAMPS helicopter in the event of heavy seas. BARB FY ' S keel was laid 5 February 1971 at Avondale Shipyards. Inc.. Westwego, Louisiana, aiui launched 4 De- cember 1971 under the sponsorship of Mrs. Daniel E. Bar- bey. widow of the late VADM Daniel E. Barbey. USN. The ship was commissioned II November 1972. As a member of the Naval Surface Force. U.S. Pacific Fleet. USS BAR- BE) (FF-108SI is homeported in San Diego. California. SYMBOLOGY OF THE BARBEY INSIGNIA The arms of the BARBEY, designed from ideas of the ship ' s company, is composed of elements of the BARBEY family crest and traditional heraldic charges. The central figure of the insignia, the mainstay of the BARBEY family crest, is the rampant lion symbolizing strength, courage, generosity as well as power and royalty. The lion is gold to represent the most excellent of metals, exceeding all others in value, purity, fineness; the bearer surpass- ing all others in valor. Symbolic of the Fast Frigate, Ship ' s mission to seek out and destroy enemy submarines, is the broken submarine held within the claws of the lion. The mullet, or star, is significant as the mark of honor and achievement. Appropriately, the insignia contains three clusters of three stars each, representative of the rank attained by the ships namesake. Vice Admiral BARBEY. The wavy line separating the upper and lower portions of the insignia represents the waves of the ocean and signifies travel, adventure, and sea power. The backround of blue represents loyalty, fidelity, and truth; three goals which all who serve on USS BARBEY will strive.

In their places, ran recruits and specially trained petty officers have served their times and departed. The circuit never ends until the ship ends its ' service. Every man, past, present and future, will make his history and carry his memories. Each generation has. and will continue to, ponder the fate of the com- mand under new leadership. Some lessons are learned again and again, while others are documented and carried on as new standards. Life aboard ship goes on . . . Like the unfortunate fellow who actually waited patiently while stand- ing mail buoy watch, or the guy who searched for the last gallon of bulkhead remover on the ship, these new men will learn the ways of the crew, and like true sea going men, they ' ll prove their mettle working long hours side-by-side with the salts . These are the new men ofUSS BARBEY the bearers of the proud name we ' ve established. And the reputation we leave behind will be theirs to carry. Weapons Department h Go Ahead Make My Day Within the realm of Weapons Department. BARBEY ' S prima- ry mission is to detect, track and destroy enemy submarines. Sonar technicians, torpedomen and gunnersmate technicians of AS Division utilize sonar to locate subs. Antisubmarine rockets are used to potentially eliminate the enemy threat from below.

But there ' s a place within the ship, that stories never reach And there ' s a special breed of men, that legends rarely teach. It ' s down below the walerline. it lakes a living roll . . . A hot metallic hell, thai sailors call the hole . It houses engines run by steam, that make the shafts go round A place of fire and noise, and heat, that heat your spirits down. Where boilers like a hellish heart, with blood of angry steam Are armored God ' s without remorse, are nightmares in a dream. Whose threat from the fires roar, is like a living doubt That any minute would scorn, escape and crush you out. Where turbines scream like tortured souls, alone and lost in hell As ordered from above somewhere, they answer every bell. The men who keep the fires lit. and make the engines run Are strangers to the world of night, and rarely see the sun. They have not time for man or God, no tolerance for fear There aspect pays no living thing, the tribute of a tear. For there ' s not much that men can do, that these men have not done Beneath the decks, deep in the hole, they make the engines run. And every hour of every day they keep the watch in Hell For if the fires ever fall, their ship ' s a useless shell. When ship ' s converge to have a war, upon an angry sea the men below Just grimly smile at what their fate may be. They ' re locked below like men foredoomed, who hear no battle cry It ' s well assumed that if they ' re hit, the men below will die. There ' s not much difference down below, that every war may bring For threat of ugly violent death, down there ' s a common thing. For every day ' s a war down there, when the gauges all read red Six hundred pounds of heated steam, can kill you mighty dead. So every man down in the hole, has learned to hate so well That when you speak to them of fear, their laughter is heard in Hell. The men below are fools who watch their spirits slowly die Who can ' t often remember how. a cloudy sky looks. So if you ever wrote their song, or tried to tell their tale The very words would make you hear, a desperate spirits wail. And people, as a general rule don ' t hear a dying soul So little is heard about this place, that sailors call the hole . But I can sing about this place, and try to make you see The hopeless life of men down there, cause one of them is me . And I ' ve been down there so long, that part of me had died The part thai lives on without light, to be a lost hopes guide. I ' ve seen these sweat soaked hero ' s fight, in superheated air To keep their ship alive and right, though no one knows they ' re there. So when you see a ship pull out, to meet a warlike foe Remember faintly, if you can, the men who sail below . . . 27 t BOILER ' S DIVISION J 28 LTSG Darwin Clark MMCS Isidore E.

CHITTAGONG BANGLADESH XO Greets Foreign Officials and Guests 73 BOMBAY, INDIA BOMBAY: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1988 RS • ARTS • RANJI TROPHY • NEHR The American Centre al New Marine Lines, Bombay. Sesquicentennial fete of U.S. consulate By Our Special Correspondent THE American consulate-gen- era! in Bombay is celebrating 115 150th anniversary on Tuesday, it was in 1 838 that the US govern- nient appomted its first consul in Bombay, though he arrived in India only m August 1839. Nol ihal there was no American c insut in India before that dale The firbi Amencan consul to in aia was appointed in 1792 m Calcutta. He was Benjamin Joy. who tned without suc- cess to appoint a consular agent in Bombay which he regarded as an important port. .-America ' s trading lies with India, however, predate even Joy ' s appoint- ment to just after the 1776 American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence. Bui the British refusal to recognise the American consul in Calcutta de- layed strengthening of Indo-US trade. Americans mostly sought cotton goods and spices and sent their missionaries to work here. It was nnly when the Easi India Company ' s monopoly was abolished in 1813andit was ordered not to interfere with the trade of nations freindly to Britain, did Indo-US trade receive a niiip. The American Foreign Service had yet to come inio existence then and appointments were made on the basis of business, political or family connec- tions. The consul s had to live on consular fees till 1899, when annual salaries were introduced, so much so that one consul who found it imposs- ible to live on the $ 200 he received as a commercial agent, went to work for the East India Company as a super- iniendent of cotton cultivation at $ S 800 a year! Nevertheless, in 1 852, the US had its first British -recognised consul in Bom- bay in Edward Ely. In 1864, the con- sulate established its first consular agency in Karachi and a second one in Cochin in 1893. The importance of the consulate, which was located m the Jehangir Building on Mahalma Gandhi Road till 1935. increased with World War 1 when it took on the responsibility of representing German. Austro-Hun- ganan and Turkish interests in western India, In 1945. after World War II ended, it was elevated to a consulate- general, the highest level of diplomatic representation after the embassy. The sesquicentennial celebrations of the Amencan consulate have a special significance because President Ronald Reagan this year proclaimed October 2. as a National Day of Recognition, for Mahalma Gandhi, following a sen- ate resolution. Gandhi is, in a way, a symbol of the interchange of ideas between India and the US from as far back as the early 19th centur ' . when the works of Indian philosophere were known in the US. especially in New England. 1 Bombay, The Gateway to India PROJECT HANDCLASP During BARBLY ' Sfour day port visit, 30 vuliiih teers pariicipated in project handclasp, the Navy ' s Goodwill Humanitarian Assistance Program. Thi site selected by the American Consulate was thi Garden School oj Bombay. Founded twelve years ago by Sister Felicity Morris, of the Society oj Jesus and Mary, the school which is entirely inter- denominational received some support from the Catholic Relief Services. Today, however, the school depends entirely on private funding as the Catholic Relief Services now concentrate on rural rather than urban projects. At the moment, the school has 1 27 very poor students from the slums and streets of Bombay, attending school five days a week, through the second grade. The children are bathed, given clean clothes and are fed milk and break in the mornings and rice and curry for lunch, usually their only two meals. Although Sister Fe- licity has enough funds to meet her day-to-day ex- penses, she does not have funds for repair projects for the school itself. Barbey provided resources, materials, officers and men to repair the deteriorat- ing building. Armed with tools, cleaning supplies, paint, construction materials, our men worked two days to repaint the interior of the barracks-like school. In addition, the crew delivered Project Handclasp items consisting of can goods, soap, shampoo, tooth brushes, cleaning supplies and chil- dren ' s books to the Garden School. LTJG Pcola.

It is well known that ceremonies took place long ago when the ship crossed the thirtieth parallel, and also when going through the Straits of Gibraltar. These early ceremonies were of the roughest sort and were, to a great extent, supposed to try the crew to determine whether or not the novices on their first cruise could endure the hardships of a life at sea. Then, as is the custom at the present time, it was pri- marily a crew ' s party . The Vikings were reported at an early date to carry out these ceremonies on crossing certain parallels. It is highly probable that the present-date ceremonies passed on to the Angles, Saxons, and Normans from the Vikings. At an earlier date, ceremonies of propitiation were carried on. Neptune, the mythological god of the seas, was appeased by the seaman, and marks of respect were paid those of his underwater domain. It is plausible that a part of the ceremony grew out of traditions of other days, even though sailors had come to doubt the existence of Neptune. Nevertheless, Neptune Rex is today the majesty who rules in the ceremonies. ;wi«yi. ' S; 1,5 PATTAYA BEACH BANGKOK, THAILAND w gk . I ' T W ww ,., , TIGER CRUISE TIGERS AT SEA . . . : TP ' - v.
