Barry (DDG 52) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1996 volume:

USS BARRY (DDG 52) SHIP ' S MISSION BARRY is equipped with the most advanced Naval defense system in the world. AEGIS, a computerized, quick reaction air defense system, provides extraordinary capabilities against attacking aircraft and missies. The heart of the AEGIS system is the SPY- ID radar, which automatically detects virtually all air contacts out to and beyond 200 miles. BARRY also has the Navy ' s most advanced underwater surveillance system available today. Our antisubmarine (ASW) triad consists of the hull mounted sonar, which is towed like a tail behind the ship, and a helicopter data link which can receive information on the location of submarines and surface ships miles away. y BARRY ' S Vertical Launch System can launch , both long-range surface to surface and land attack — I L TOMAHAWK cruise missiles, and the Standard surface to air missile. One forward 5 gun mount is used threatening ships and boats or to bombard shore targets. Propelled by powerful, quick response gas turbine (jet) engines which allow BARRY to transit easily at speeds in excess of 30 knots, BARRY is an extremely capable warship.

One of the best events was a Casino Night that turned every sailor into a high roller and transformed the Mess Decks into a lavish Las Vegas gaming hotel. In addition to planning activities, the First Class Association was always there to aid junior sailors with professional and military development. Estab- lishing the infamous ESWS Murder BoardJ an oral board of first class petty officer subject matter experts, they helped to ensure ESWS candidates were ready for the real board. The leadership and talent in BARRYs First Class Associa- hon will fill the Chief Petty Officers Mess of many ships in the future. With Bingo, raffles, Casino Night, and pizza nights, over $1000.00 was raised to help with Cruise Book costs. STGl(SW) Gary Blanke - President of the First Class Association First Class Association 41 Chief Petty Officers The Lhiet Petty Officers Mess, often referred to as the backbone of the NAVX ' functions as the link between the crew and the Wardroom. The chiefs ' unique blend of job experience and leadership skills gives then a keen perspective from which they mange the day to day operations of BARRYs divisions. Under the leadership of twenty-six year veteran FCCM (SW AW) Bruce Kennedy, the Command Master Chief, the BARRY CPO Mess fulfills a vital role for the 340 person crew — that of mentor. Master Chief Kennedy summed up the mission of the Mess by saying: Our job is to keep in touch with the needs and aspirations of our sailors, be masters of our rating, and lend support to command wide initiatives like the ESWS qualification program. Accomplish that and by default we ensure the personal and professional growth of every sailor in BARRY. 42 USS Barry Chief Petty Officers43 Wardroom Often keeping late hours underway and inport, officers in BARRYs Wardroom were in large part responsible for the forehanded planning and meticulous standards that made BARRY a success. LCDR Mike Franken, BARRYs Executive Officer, described the Wardroom as a group of consummate professionals in which everyone knows their job and how it fits unto the big picture. The ciiverse backgrounds of the twenty-six officers create a unique synergy of leadership, tactical proficiency and technical excellence. This blend of talent enabled the Wardroom to carry out the most basic of BARRYs guiding principles: We take care of our people; we accomplish the mission.

Zeus, the Barry Mascot, was a gift to Captain Quinn from the proprietor ot the Excelsior Hotel, in St. Kaphel, France.

When the porcelain pooch asn ' t hanging out in the Captains Cabin he was down on the deckplates with the crew; whether it was standing watch in the engine rooms or chowing down on the Nless Decks. Zeus, who shares his Greek heritage with the Aegis combat system, was named for the King of the Greek gods by a popular vote of the crew. In m ' thological Greece, Zeus ' all powerful shield was named Aegis. Not even Zeus ' Aegis technology could save him however, when he was dognapped one after- noon in the Adriatic. The stor ' tiici have a happy ending thtiugh, wlien the BARRY boardiiig team rescued the dog, napped the dognapper and celebrated with an ice cream social. I iMV ' li e Zeus!

VMHBB i USS Barry refuels from the USS George Washington while on patrol in the Adriatic Sea. On January 26, 1996, 340 crewmembers of USS BARRY set sail on a six month deployment that took us away from loved ones, friends and family and placed us literally in harms way off the coast of Bosnia-Herzegovina. After a busy year of I inspections, assessments and battle group workups, during which BARRY spent no I more than three weeks in homeport, we deployed with the USS George Washington Battle Group on MED 1-96. A years work of seamanship training, engineering drills, ; and combat scenarios honed our skills and prepared us for the challenges of a I Mediterranean deployment. Deployment 47 Barry launches a torpedo during EXERCISE SHAREM. B. 1 I s pnmai - mission in MED 1-96, our second sixth month cruise, was to serve as Adriatic REDCROWN and protect the airspace and waterways during Operation Joint Endeavor. AUhough we spent more than 50 davs off the coast of Bosnia-Herzegovina fulfilling this mission, BARRY also participated in numerous national and multinational exercises. In addition, we showed the flag in 14 ports, allowing sailors to visit such famous metropolitan cities as Venice, Paris, adn Rome. As the first small combatant to embark females, BARRYs seam- less integration of women during workups and deployment proved a mixed gender crew could thrive on a CRUDES platform. Simply stated, sailors are sailors — and BARRY sailors are something special from the day thev walk aboard. Each crewmember contributed to our success. From the 42 flawless UNREPs, to the 178 days of great chow, BARRYs crew gave 110% — every day. The highlight from the Engineering department was the sweet taste of success during the Mid-Cycle Assessment (MCA). In keeping with a long-standing record of excellence, BARRY received a perfect score in every category — the best performance in the battlegroup. Along with the milestones BARRY has achieved, each of us has our own accomplishments and memories from this cruise. Some of us remember losing those extra pounds or quitting smoking. Some made the effort to achieve an ESWS pin or a promotion in rank or responsibility For some, it was the simple thrill of seeing the world and protecting our nation, or just the comfort of waring coveralls at sea. . Or just the comfort of wearing coveralls at sea. Each of us found some way to make the time away from home a little bit easier. The cruise now only a memory, and we are safely back home, but before long it will be time to prepare ourselves and BARRY for the next mission: the NEXT six month deployment!

Most BARRV crew mem- ber, traveled to the resort area of Magaluf to enjoy the beautiful beaches and energetic nightlife. Long lavish beaches, warm Medi terranean sun and cixil water was the perfect atmosphere in ivhich B.- RR sailors could suntan, swim or just ' vegetate. ' As sunset signaled the end of another summer dav, the endless avenues of bars, dance clubs and pubs sprang to life and provided a wide arrav of nighthme entertainment. Sailors could enjoy dancing to the fast-paced beat of techno music or seek out one of Palmai famous theme bars. One such cafe-bar, the Daiquiri Palace, was a popular place to fmd B.ARRY sailors no matter what time of day or night it was. Known to sailors throuhout the fleet, the Daiquiri Palace has a memorabilia wall with stickers, patches and pins from many of the Navy ships and aircraft squadrons that have patonized ' the Palace ' on cruises past. B. ' XRRY sailors added a seal in a promi- nent place to ensure that future patrons know the BARRY sailors of MED 96-1 had left their mark at this MED cruise Mecca. .■ nother Palma fixture that was no stranger to NAVY ships was the small concession stand that was set up on the pier offering fiHid, beer, and mineral water. The stands current owner was the second generation to serve the ships that pull into Palmas busy port. The stand proudly displayed three posterboards covered with US Navy ship postcards, some dating back to the 1950s! The stand was a non-traditional landmark in a city of beautiful churches, picturesque plazas and great shopping. Altough far awav from the United States, BARRY celebrated July 4th in true red, white, and blue fashion while inport Palma. The Supplv department prepared an Independence Day feast com- plete with barbecued ribs. Sailors from the USS MERRIMACK, fleet oiler in our battlegroup, were invited to share in this taste of Americana. Hosted at the local Spanish army base, the picnic area was adjacent to an athletic area where sailors participated in basketball, football, and street hockey. For the more daring and adventurous, there was cliff jumping at a series of coves just out- side the port. Learning from locals about the safe times to jump and water entr ' procedures, sailors mustered the courage to take the adrenaline-pumping plunge. Only the bravest of the brave tempted the god Neptune himself as thev jumped off thirty-foot clittV into thf r.isini; Mirf below. 50 USS Barry PortCaUs 51 l_ icanv Spain Located on Spain ' s Costa Blanca, or White Coast, Alicante was BARRY ' s first liberty port of the deploy- ment. The large metropolitan city offered a variety of ac- tivities: entertaining nightlife like Saturday night bull ights, biking and hiking in the surrounding mountains, and visiting bustling plazas with open air markets, muse- ums and fine dining. Many crewmembers took advantage of one day excursions to other famous Spanish cities like Valencia. After an extended underway period, it was time to rest, relax and experience the culture of a new place. Id  . - :7m 7 ' WMkjtk.flU M HVi VI 4 iJH ' ' b!

Fresh air, winter landscape and majestic vistas made it easy for the crew to lose their sea legs-although for some first-time skiers that was not enough; because they never found their ski legs! ■I erKira, i reece, is a tourist beach commiinit - on the island of Corfu. Off season prices made the open air market a favorite attraction for bargain-seekers and souvenir shoppers. There was a small carnival just a short walk from fleet landing and plenty of warm friendly restaurants that served a great ' variety of authentic Greek food. While in Kerkira, the Greek Orthodox church celebrated Easter week. The highlights of this special holiday in Kerkira include a long parade and a spectacular midnight fireworks displav. It was fascinating learning about another culture during one of their most important reUgious holidays of the year.

Day excursions to the ru- ins of the ancient city of Ephesus were the highlight of the port visit. In the city, BARRY sailors tried their hand at bar- gaining with mercahnts in the local shops lo purchase fine gifts like leather, silver, rugs and jewelry. Izmir was also the home of US Air Force 7421st Air Base Group, which extended a warm welcome to the crew. The crew used all of the USAF fa- cilities including: medical and dental clin- ics, enlisted officers clubs, fitness center. Exchange complex, and phone centers. By sharing their little piece of American soil, the 7421st made BARRY sailors feel com- fortable in a city that while beautiful, may be intimidating to a visitor htat doesn ' t speak the native language or know the layout of the city ' s winding streets and busy avenues.

Projects can take many forms, from ciistributing food aiid supplies to the underprivi- leged, to doing manual labor in low cost housing areas. In Koper, Slovenia, BARRY vol- unteers led by project coordi- nator STGl(SW) Blanke spent the dav at a local school and donated over two hundred books. Petty Officer Blanke observed, Handclasp gives us a chance to interact with our host community and learn more about the cities we visit and the people who live there. Project Handclasp In Koper Koper is a small port town located along the northern border of Slovenia, a young nation formerly part of Yugoslavia. BARRYs visit to Koper was politically significant, educa- tional, and entertaining for the entire crew. In addition to hosting several shipboard social functions, including a reception for the Prime Min- ister, sailors enjoyed dining in local restaurants, visiting nearby Trieste and Venice, and participating in the MWR sponsored Adopt-a- Sailor program.

Exquisite shopping, delicious foods, and ferry rides to nearby islands were only a few of the many attractions BARRY sailors enjoyed. The quaint shopping district with its narrow streets and white washed buildings offered reasonable prices on items of both mod- ern and traditional design. In addition to shopping, crewmembers also spent time on the many beautiful beaches, the most popular being Paradise Beach. There, sailors participated in a variety of water sports, socialized at the unique beachfront cafes, and relaxed in the sun to catch some rays. Mykonos night life offered many dance clubs featuring the most modern popular dance music as well as several small pubs featuring acoustic guitar and classic as American rock. The crew left Mykonos refreshed and relaxed after another successful port visit. « , ' ■■a. ' - I i I ■M . ••=pll - ' S ' Port Call ■ • ,.

This port isit offered the last call home, the last chance to exchange foreign currency collected from all o ' er Europe, and the last chance to hit the beach before the long transit home. The crew spent the majority of their time enjoying the beaches in Torremolinos. Playing beach football, sunbathing, and running along the beach were the preferred liberty pastimes; Sangria was the preferred liberty beverage! At McDonalds and Burger King restaurants, sailors enjoyed the American fast food meals they craved and would soon have again. Malaga was a signifi- cant milestone for BARRY. Just two hours after de- parting and transiting the Straights of Gibraltar, we completed the turnover with our relief, USS PHILLIPINE SEA (CG-58). This marked the official end of our duties as a U.S. ship on patrol in the MED. It was time to head home!

The deployment began in earni-.! when BARR . in company ivith the USS GEORGE WAS! I INGTON Battle Group (GWBATGRU), escorted the Us GUAM Amphibious Readiness Group south to pick up Marine Corps personnel from Camp Lejune. NC. This al lowed ships to anchor and watch the Super Bowl. After I lie game, weighed anchor and headed out to sea. The tran-ii time across the ' big pond ' was not wasted. B.ARRY p.n ticipated in numerous battle group exercises in addition I. a rigorous schedule of shipboard training. The training provided additional confidence for all of BARRYfe combat and bridge watchstanders as the battle group steamed en masse for the straits of Gibraltar. Once past the picturesque straits and the famous ' rock B. RR made a course for the Adriatic Sea. For seven days B.-XRR was stationed in operational area ' MAVERICK ' as Adnata- REDCROWN. The mission of REDCROWN was simple: detect, monitor and identify any aircraft flying oyer ,1 given geographical area. This effort ensured that United Nations Peacekeepers in Bosnia-Herzegovina were pro- tected from air attack. As the first ship in GWBATGRU to assume an operational mission in the MED, BARRY set the standard as a model command and control platform. e t B.-VRRY participated in SHAREM 1 14, a mulhnational anti-submarine exercise evaluating the capabilities of shipbome, airborne and submarine sensors. SHAREM 114 in oKed forces from the United States, Spain, Italy and Great Britain. BARRYs Sonar Technicians and Operations Specialist received praise from tine Destroyer Squadron Two Six Staff for their tactical proficiency, professionalism and success in a difficult exercise with a seemingly impossible mission--find a submarine previously thought to be unde- tectable. BARRY also participated in DESTINED GLORY, a multi- warfare exerdse that culminated in an amphibious assault on a simulated hostile coast. BARRYs mission was to per- form Na -al Gunfire Support (NGFS) in support of the im- pending invasion. As alv -ays the Gunners Mates and Op- erations Specialist of the NGFS team executed their tasking perfectly --ordnance on target, on time. Meanwhile in the Adriahc, operational commitments took all US . ayy ships out of the air sur ' eillance area. Com- mander Sixth Fleet (COMSIXTHFLT), our operahonal com- mander in the area, decided that the REDCROWN role could be filled by a NATO ship. This marked the first time a N.ATO ship would fulfill a typically US only mission. The ship selected, French ship JEAN BART, was a capable air sur ' eiUance platform but required training in Adriatic op- erations. Once again it was Barry that answered the call, sending two officers skilled in air warfare and Adriatic op- erations to train the French air controllers. JEAN BARTS REDCROWN tenure was a major step forward for NATO US cooperation, a success operationally and diplomahcallv- -and BARRY surface warriors made it happen. When exer- ase coordinators called ' RNEX ' {finish exerdse) to DES- TINED GLORY we returned to our home away from home, Liperational area MAVERICK in the Adriatic ' BARRY re- lieved JEAN BART and reassumed duties as REDCROWN. WTiile providing air surveillance for USS GUAM, BARRY received immediate Search and Rescue (SAR) tasking to locate a downed aircraft carrvTng the Secretary of Com- merce and other government offidals of the Creation coast. The engineers poured on the speed, steaming 31-1- knots for 10 hours to arri ' e at the search area. The Quartermas- ters pinpointed our assigned station, while Operations Spe- dalists initiated SAR patrol procedures only to learn that the plane had in fact crashed on land, near the dty of 78 USS Barry iDt O T-iiflR ' R E D C R O W N Dubrovnik. BARRY proved what all surface warriors know about naval operations —f lexibility in the kev. As the situation in the Balkans mellowed, COMSIXTHFLT determined air sur eillance in the area was not a top mission prioritv. REDCROVVN, in effect, ceased to exist. BARRY was the last ship m GWBATGRU to possess the coveted Red Crown ' , a car air freshner that had been t ' levated to a sacred reUc and handed down by all ships that performed the mission. FREEDOMEX was the next operation that tested BARRYs ivarfighting team. A battle group exercise that flexed everv aspect of naval warfare, FREEDOMEX involved BARRY, USS GEORGE WASHlNGTON,U5S SAN lAClNTO, USS MERRIMACK and USS BALTIMORE. BARRY succeeded in simulated and real firings of all ordnance onboard and was lauded as the best radar and acoustic detector. ' The combat-bridge team earned more praise with simulated kills during long range surface engagements and anti-submarine evasion during a realistic choke point transit. We had not operated with GEORGE WASHINGTON smce her three month stint took her to the Arabian Gulf and back. It was a good opportunity to work the professionals of Carrier Air Wing Seven and ensured our tactical air control and ship driving skills were as sharp as ever. The next major operational milestone was to be a multinational missile exercise coordinated by USS BARRY. BARRY served as officer conducting exercise ' (OCE) for the NAMFIMISSILEX that was held off the coast of Crete in mid June. OCE is a job normally executed bv a senior cruiser or destroyer Squadron staff, but BARRY was selected and rose to the occasion. Two months of intense preparation and coordination behveen the Greek Navy, BARRY, Missile range officials and missile experts stateside was derailed the day of the exercise when the second of five remotely operated targets spun out of control and hit an unpopulated area of Crete. Despite the absence of charred launchers, Barr) ' exercise planners could hold their heads high. Sixth fleet representatives and Commodore Morgan both praised BARRY for the most well organized and tactically ad ' anced exercise in the theater histor. ' . Although BARRY did not fire a shot in anger during MED 1-96, she once again proved she is the best DDG on the waterfront, ' Smooth operator ' -- Thats how one F- 1 4 pilot under our tactical control described B.ARRY. It IS a characterization that the professionals of the Navigation, Combat Systems and Operations department have earned through teamwork and professionalism. E er ' sailor in GWB.

The End! 128USSBarrv USS BARRY (DDG 52) SHIP ' S MISSION BARRY is equipped with the most advanced Naval defense system in the world. AEGIS, a computerized, quick reaction air defense system, provides extraordinary capabilities against attacking aircraft and missies. The heart of the AEGIS system is the SPY- ID radar, which automatically detects virtually all air contacts out to and beyond 200 miles. BARRY also has the Navy ' s most advanced underwater surveillance system available today. Our antisubmarine (ASW) triad consists of the hull mounted sonar, which is towed like a tail behind the ship, and a helicopter data link which can receive information on the location of submarines and surface ships miles away. BARRY ' S Vertical Launch System can launch , both long-range surface to surface and land attack — , TOMAHAWK cruise missiles, and the Standard surface to air missile. One forward 5 gun mount is used threatening ships and boats or to bombard shore targets. Propelled by powerful, quick response gas turbine (jet) engines which allow BARRY to transit easily at speeds in excess of 30 knots, BARRY is an extremely capable warship. STRENGTH DIVERSITY
