I sit and think of all our fun, The things that had to be, And why I left her there alone To sail the rugged sea. The nights are sad and lonely, And life is dead to me, But I was called by Fate, I guess, To sail the rugged sea. Someday I shall return to her, Q For oft I hear her plea, Come home to me, my sailor love, And leave the rugged sea. By Robert D. Glass, CSSN, USN USS BARTON QDD-722y 1 H . O 7 .

Rossman Assistant Editor Donald M. Hull, YN2 Photographer and r Advisor LCDR R. J. Wood Art' Work J . Phillips, QM2 At Left: TWO EDITORS AT WORK ON LAYOUT To assemble the contents of this cruise book into what it is now took a lot of staying up nights, a lot of working on Sunday afternoons, and sometimes even staying aboard when liberty Was sounded. The people that did the work, did so voluntarily. , The Cruise Book Committee announced that any and all Hands were requested to assist in gathering photos for the cruise book. The response wasterrific. So the Executive Officer and his 200 or so assistants went about the world collecting the pictures you're seeing. The Exec , LCDR Wood, developed and printed most of the photos in this cruise book. Editor Ensign Robert Rossman's experience dates back to the days when he was editor Of the United States Merchant Marine Academy's Polaris , Ensign Rossman entered the Navy in October 1953 after having graduated from Kings Point. Editor Donald Hull was editor of his high school paper and attended a summer session in journalism at Indiana University - Hull, a recalled Reserve, returned to civilian life the day this cruise book Went to press. ' I l 8 LL- , , sm . . . o g i 'i WELFARE 8z REC COMMITTEE The Enlisted Welfare and Recreation Committee of the USS BARTON is composed, as the title expresses, of enlisted men of the BARTON. Each division elects a man to represent their particular division. This committee submits recommendations to the Welfare and Recreation Council, which is composed of officers. This council is primarily for the purpose of approving any proposal submitted to them by the Enlisted Welfare and Rec Committee. The members of the Committee are: Edmond R. Lauer, Jr. , HMC, Chairman, Jack C. Burns, SH1, Roy C. Wheaton, FT1g Richard W. Umnus, PN2, Recorder, Antonio ful Sorrentino, MM2g John W. Hartline, YNSNg and Donald I. Gustin, BMSN. The Committee conducts a monthly meeting and such other meetings as conditions may Warrant. At such meetings, the Committee's attention is focused on matters that will make for a happier BARTON crew. An example of the Work of the Committee was the Ship's Party in Sasebo, Japan, just before departure for the U. S. A. This proved to be a very successful affair. The Committee also purchased some useful athletic equipment, costing 55165. 00. When a BARTON shipmate received an overseas tele- gram informing him that his father was critically ill, the Committee put at the man's disposal enough money to enable him to return via international airlines. Such things as this make for one of the best Welfare and Rec Committees any ship of any fleet of any Navy could have. i Left to right around the table.

The trip through the canal was very exciting, the weather was hot. The freshwater wash- d0Wn in Gatun Lake gave the ship her first drink since leaving Norfolk. We also SHVS her a drink of fuel when We moored in port-- a feat to be accomplished many times dur ing the tr ip . . A After mooring at Rodman Naval Base, Balboa, Canal Zone, many of us went to Panama City for liberty. After seeing the sights the city had to offer, We hired a cab to take us to the ruins of Cld Panama City. In this adventure of re-sack- ing the ruins, we discover- ed old Henry Morgan had left little for us.

Quick action by the engineers on watch prevented our having a really major casualty. We arrived in San Diego along with a light drizzle which stayed there with us., Even with the rains, nearly everyone went ashore, because this was our last touch on the mainland of the United States., Many of us called home to reassure families and loved ones that all was Well, but mainly because We missed them so much. We Walked across the border into Tiajuana , Mexico--a rather noisy and dirty city. We had our usual fun and saw the sights, then hurried back to San Diego, sunny California fwhere it rained everyday we were therej .

We came into Pearl Harbor for what was to have been a short stay, but the BARTON--lucky girl-- stayed aweek while the rest of the Division steamed on across the turbulent Pacific. Our boiler was repaired atthe Navy Yard at Pearl. This afforded us our golden opportunity to see Hawaii, land ,of enchantment--and Dole Pineapple. The Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Don the Beach- comber's on Waikiki Beach were the most frequented places. Some of us saw honeymooners Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio at the Royal Hawaiian. The beach was beautiful as was Diamond Head Mountain. We all took a lot of pictures--ooh! that hula-hula! X fm. Z' 'gf -wil 'S 7 ' '31 73,6 Shi:- , if . Y 3 A vi W. E9 1' y., 1.

This web- footed comedian, with a be-bop walk, can soar gracefully, but has to run to take off and slides to a stop by colliding with other gooneybirds , trees, rocks or buildings, Gooneyville res- idents build their nests with no regard for traffic, either pedestrain or automotive, seem- ingly aware they are protected by Federal law . After days of crossing the turbulent Pacific little Midway Islands looked very good to us. Once a China Clipper station, later the scene of repeated unsuccessful attacks by the Japan- ese during World War H, this low atoll is now a small but important U, S, naval base. The brief stop at Midway permitted only a short walk along the gleaming sands fora few crew mem- bers. THE DAY WE NEVER LIVED At midnight on Thursday, 4 February 1954, the same day we had been to Midway , we set the clocks ahead one whole day, denoting our crossing the 180th Meridian, the International Date Line. Thus we skipped the calendar day of Friday, 5 February 1954 , a day we never lived, and entered the Far East as accepted members of the Ancient and Sacred Order of the Golden Dragon.

The signs of severe fighting during World War II are still evident in the half-sunken remains of Army half- tracks and Navy landing craft. While fueling, recreation parties ashore amused them- selves engaging in intra-ship basketball and softball, picking up tiny Seashells, eating hamburgers and drinking beer in the White Beach Club. Others who were fortunate to ride inland over the Army-constructed highway got a close-up view of the primitive life of the natives of Okinawa. Women with babies strapped on their backs were work- ing side by side With the men in the rice paddies, Off in the distance an ox was being driven through the mud to a thatch-roofed hut. Stone-faced tombs on the nearby hills- sides utilized the rougher ground on this island where no foot of land goes unused. Okinawa--picturesque land of Oriental dress, green rice paddies, the blue bay--all sights we'll never forget. .Q 1 E 37 ,ay I 'H'? 7 'iG1lNirG'i?Pz vw-1rwianre:' ' -- --V A e . . FORMOSA .- Our stay in Formosa was in conjunction with thirty days duty in the Formosa Patrol, The only port we hit was Kaohsiung QTakaoy.

Besides the i k l t f Formosan beer at the many beer halls in town, many ball games, we dran a o o Admiral Ni, Chief of Naval Operations for Nationalist China, called on the Com- modore during our stay.

Mr. TATE's BARTON Bombers played exhibition baseball against the USS SOLEY team and lost fprobably the umpire's faulty 4-0 . The game was played at the Stadium in Mombasa and was witnessed by two thousand people including the Provincial Commissioner of Kenya and the American Consul from Nairobi. Visitors were permitted aboard for the first time and at least a thousand came to see our ship. Many of us got ashore to see the town and the beau- tiful countryside. The technicolor movie Snows of Kilimanjaro was photographed in this territory. We noticed that Mombasa was a clean town.

We spent five days there and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The people were friendly and treated us like we were royalty. We SHW the Clfy and It Was beautiful. The Durban Centennary and the July Handicap QSouth Africa's version of the Kentucky Derby, fined Durban with people as eager to have us for their guests as we were to know them, A highlight of the Durban visit was a tour into the land of the Zulus, in the Valley of 1000 Hills. What a fascinating Place! Ritual dancing, the killing and roasting of an ox, and many other native sights were things entirely new to us. Many of us went to the beach and swam in the Indian Ocean. We met many beautiful girls and their families. A fine time wa.s had by all. Nearly everyone went to at least one private party in Durban. 1 The BARTON Bombers played the USS SOLEY team in Durban and won Q5-Zy this time Our team was in top shape for this game. A remark made by one of our men was overheard the day we left Durbang it was typical of how we all felt. He said, If there's anyplace in the world where I'd go over the hill, it'd surely be right here in Durban. There will be a warm spot in our hearts for Durban and the wonderful Durbanites for a long time. s.,v 1. . 1 , f - -,fm Y1'T':'-Lf, .gl I 'wk nw.

The City Beautiful! There was much to do and much to see. The cable car ride to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain is breath-taking as the magnificient scene spreads out below. The wor1d- celebrated view from atop Sugar Loaf is the greatest ever. At least one day was spent on Copacabana Beach which stretches for miles gleaming white in the sun. From the sea a statue of Christ, stretching his hands as if to encompass the whole of Rio , was clearly visible on Corcovado Mountain. It was a most inspiring sight. t Night life is exciting in this city that seems to be all fun and more fun. One night it rained, so now we know what they do in Rio on a rainy night. Some of us went to the Bolero, others to the Hotel Miramar and many other places of equal merit. It can truthfully be said that we enjoyed ourselves in South America's playground, Rio de Janeiro. , E i ::::::: 'In nf: as g ,B . a,4. -B-...mesa e Rio de Janeiro, fron1 Corcovado If Nwrf ,.,,,.,.- .Id .. -Q--.

We work- ed, hard all day and were almost too tired to go on 1 erty at night -- almost, but not quite. Our liberty was mostly base liberty for the town was dirty and unexciting. We perked up on hearing the Calypso music and when we saw the band playing on old oil drums as musical instruments, well, we oou1dn't be- lieve our eyes. Shortly after the hour of 8 A.
