THE SHIP Within six months old BEATTY ' s through; They ' ll put her out — a good thing, too! She ' s seen the world, cruised every sea, Since ' 44 steamed faithfully.

USS BE A TTY Mid watch Log 1 January ' 65 HER HISTORY USS BEATTY {DD-756) is the second ship of the fleet to bear the name of the late Rear Admiral Frank E. Beatty, the first ship having been sunk in the Medi- terranean as a result of enemy aircraft action on 6 November 1943. The ship was launched on 30 November 1944 at the Bethlehem Steel Company Yard at Staten Island, New York, and subsequently commissioned 31 March 1945. After a brief period of service in the Pacific, she was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet. The highlights of her career are as follows: in 1948 she patrolled under the com- mand of the United Nations Truce Team at Haifa, Trans-Jordan. In 1951 BEATTY transited the Pacific for patrol and blockade duty off the coast of Korea. For two months she participated in extensive shore bombardment activities and anti-submarine action off the Ilingnam area. In 1959, the M V NASSAU RELIEF, abandoned and sinking off the coast of the Dominican Republic, was boarded by a BEATTY salvage crew, de-watered, and successfully taken under tow before turning her over to the original crew. The next few years brought three different trouble shooting missions: to the Dominican Republic in 1961; to Cuba during the blockade of 1962; and to Costa Rica for President Kennedy ' s visit in 1963. Filling in the years between highlights mentioned above, BEATTY has been faith- fully carrying out the multifarious tasks of a general purpose destroyer. Countless days of anti-submarine warfare, midshipman training cruises, escort duty, two Mer- cui-y Recovery missions, 10 cruises to the Mediterranean or Middle East, more than 20 cruises to the Carribbean, seven times through the Panama Canal, nine times through the Suez Canal, 26 Atlantic crossings, and a host of routine voyages. BEATTY ' s deployment to the Mediterranean and Middle East in September of 1964 could well have been her last. Many miles have passed beneath her keel, and her decommissioning scheduled for April 1965, will mark the end of a very full life.

Speed — About 34 Knots COMMANDING OFFICER H. E. WINTER Commander, USN Commander WINTER enlisted in the Navy in 1942 under the EDDY Program for procurement of Radio Technicians. In 1943, as a Second Class Radio Technician he was accepted for training in the V-12 program and matriculated in the Electri- cal Engineering School of Villanova College, Villanova, Pennsylvania. Having had two years of college prior to enhstment, he completed a total of four years in October of 1944 and moved on to Midshipmen ' s School at Northwestern University. He was commissioned Ensign in May 1945, and was ordered to Destroyer School in Norfolk, Virginia. He served as CIC Officer and Assistant Communications Officer in USS ARNOLD J. ISBELL (DD- 869) from 1945-1947, as Executive Officer of USS PCE 881 in the Pacific in 1947- 48, and attended Electronics Material School at Treasure Island in 1948. He was assign- ed to the pre-commissioning detail of USS NEWPORT NEWS ( C A-148 ) and during three years on board served as CIC Officer, FOX Division Officer and Air Defense Officer. In 1952 CDR WINTER attended General Line School in Monterey, California, and in 1953-54 he was assigned to recruiting duty in Seattle, Washington. He then at- tended a Surface to Air Missile course in Pomona, California, and served the next ri ' two years in USS TOLEDO (CA-133) as Air Defense Officer and Administrative As- sistant to the Executive Officer. There followed another tour of recruiting duty, this time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as Assistant Officer in Charge. From 1959 to 1961 CDR WINTER served as Executive Officer in two destroyers, USS SIGOURNEY (DD-643) and USS McNAIR (DD-679). For the two and one half years prior to assum- ing command of BEATTY. CDR WINTER served as Gunnery Officer to the Fleet Training Group, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was in GITMO during the 1962-63 Cuban crisis, and when Castro turned off the water in 1964. In 1945 Commander WINTER was mar- ried to the fonner Miss Agnes Mullin of Rosemont, Pennsylvania. They have four children. EXECUTIVE OEEICER MARTIN KATZ Lt. Commander, USN Lieutenant Commander Martin KATZ enlisted in the Naval Reserve in August 1945, and then, after a brief period of active duty, returned to civilian life in June, 1946, maintaining his membership in the Re- serve. He passed the next three years as a student of Industrial Management at City College of New York and graduated in June 1949, as a Bachelor of Business Administration. In August 1950 he was com- missioned in the USNR; he remained, however, on inactive duty and pursued a civilian career in textile sales in New York City. In 1953 he was called to active duty as communications Officer aboard the USS BENHAM (DD-796), where he served until his return to the textile busi- ness in 1955. In December 1956, Mr. KATZ augmented as Lieutenant, U. S. Navy, and reported aboard the USS R. K. HUNTINGTON (DD- 781) as Operations Officer. In January 1958, he hifted to the West Coast to enter the General Line School, Monterey, California, for one year ' s postgraduate work. In late 1958, he returned to sea duty aboard USS MAURY (AGS-16) as Operations Officer. His next change of station occurred in March 1960 when he became Engineering Officer on the USS EVERGLADES (AD-24) for two years, at the conclusion of which he moved to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Logistics War Plans Branch, as Assistant for Logistic Support Plans (OP 05 DI). He reported to the BEATTY in July 1964 - just in time to join pre- parations for deployment. LCDR KATZ thus brings to his post a wealth of experience in varied types of ships. He is married to the former Frances Kaplan of New York City. Together, Mr. and Mrs. KATZ command a family of three children. STAFF A special page devoted to those members of the wardroom whose duties, being somewhat loosely defined, deserve special treatment. MARTY REVISITED from Piraeus Pirate 26 November 1964 In all honesty, it must be said that the Doctor and the Chap- lain have less to do aboard BEATTY than anyone else. The only difference is that the Doc has two assistants to help him. Naturally, this leads to much leisure time, and the Doc and the Chaps have become fast friends in order to conquer their com- mon enemy, boredom. The setting for the following scenario is the wardroom. Time about 1000, after the Doc and the Chaps have had theii ' late breakfast. (It was falsely reported that one day Doc made Officer ' s Call). Doc: Well, Chaps, what are we gonna do today? Chaps: I dunno, Doc. What do you wanna do? Doc: (After pregnant pause). Jeez, I dunno. (Long Silence) Chaps: Well, we could stroll about the main deck. Doc: I dunno, the sun ' s pi ' etty hot today. Chaps: Yeah, that ' s right. (Long pause) Doc: I guess I could read some medical journals. Chaps: That ' s too much like work. You trying to make me feel bad or something? Doc: Naw, I ' m not going to read them. I was just thinking about it. Chaps: What do you wanna do today, Doc? Doc: Jeez, I dunno. What do you wanna do? Chaps: I ' ve got no ideas. How about you? Doc: How about shuffleboard? Then we could go for a swim in the fresh water pool. Afterwards, we could have a couple of gin and tonics and then lunch. Chaps: Sure, Doc. Sounds great. (Long pause) Doc: Well, Chaps, what do you really want to do? Chaps: I dunno. The rays are pretty good today. We could always retii-e to the 01 Level. Doc: Yeah, but we did that yesterday. Don ' t you have any new ideas? Chaps: I dunno. Doc. Doc: (Angrily) I dunno, I dunno! Can ' t you say anything besides that? Chaps: What do you wanna do today. Doc? Doc: Jeez, I dunno. (Long silence) Let ' s go to our office and catch some rays. Chaps: We did that yesterday, Doc. Doc: We did it the day before and the day before that. So what ' s new? Chaps: I dunno. Doc. DESDIV 202 CHAPLAIN LT JOHN Chaps ' ALLEN Newport. R. I. University of Texas. B. A. Episcopal Seminary, Southwest, B. D. DESDIV 202 DOCTOR LT ALAN Mattapan, Mass.

WEAPONS DEPARTMENT WEAPONS OFFICER As is to be expected from its title, the Weapons De- partment represents the fists of the ship. The Depart- ment is divided into three major divisions: Fox, 1st and 2nd. Within FOX division, gunners mates maintain and operate the ship ' s 5 ' 38 gun mounts and magazines, fire controhiien take care of the MK 37 Gunfire Control system, sonarmen operate our underwater search equipment and associated weapons systems, and torpedomen handle our homing fish ' . 1st and 2nd divisions comprise the deck organization of the ship. In theii- hands is placed the traditional Navy problems of seamanship, including the maintenance of the ship s decks, bulkheads, and sides, linehandling, rigging of lines and tackle for transfers at sea, replenishments, and refueling, and the manning of key underway stations such as boatswain s mate of the watch, helmsman, etc. The Weapons Officer is assisted in presiding over the fists by the Anti-submarine Warfare Officer, the First Lieutenant, and the Second Division Officer. It might be added that both th e ship s leading gunner ' s mate and the ship ' s bosn think that they really run the whole ship. Such is the pride of the traditional Navy rates. In the eternal interdepartmental squabble over who ' is the most important. Weapons snicerely feels that without their talents, the ship would be indistinguishable from a second-rate passenger liner— fat, lazy, unsalty, and spineless. This is quite true.

Where a function cannot readily be identified with a department. Operations gets it. Their radiomen maintain our communications systems; Combat Infonnation Center acts as the brains of the ship, scanning air and surface search radars, plotting, evaluating, and disseminating information relevent to the ship ' s tactical situation; the electronic technicians maintain the radar and communications equipment; quartermasters navigate the ship; signalmen handle visual communica- tions traffic by flag hoist and flashing light; yeoman and personnelmen process the ship ' s paperwork; the postal clerk handles the mail we never get; and hospital corps- men deal with the hypochondriacs. In this vast myriad of responsibilities, the Operations Officer is aided by the CIC Officer, the Communications Officer and the Elec- tronics Material Officer. Reverting to the interdepartmental verbal battle. Operations claims that without it, the ship would be deaf, dumb, blind, and unhealthy. This is quite true.

SUPPL Y DEPARTMENT SUPPLY OFFICER To the Supply Department is entrusted the almost sacred task of providing us with all the comforts of home- well, almost, anyway. Storekeepers stock us with spare parts, commissarjiiien store, cook, and serve our chow , laundrymen keep our uniforms clean, disbursing clerks underpay us, stewards keep the ball rolling in officers ' country, and the ship ' s store operator provides us with a place to buy contraband and gedunk . Our Supply Officer is undoubtedly the best Supply Officer on the ship (there is only one). Nothing affects the ship ' s morale more directly than the performance of the Supply De- partment, and as such, theirs is often a thankless task. Griping about Supply is a favorite shipboard pastime, and years of experience has developed in Supply personnel a sort of philosophical imperturbability. Ignoring the gripes, they calmly join the interdepartmental self-importance battle by insisting that without their services, the ship would starve and stink. This is quite true.

A One-Act Farce by SINBAD The scene opens on gear-stowing time in second-division compartment. A line of sailors laden with huge cartons stretches from an open hatch in the deck at stage left to exit stage right. A pile of cartons sits on the deck next to the open hatch. One carton has been upended to support the generous behind of an SKI with coffee cup in hand. He gazes into space throughout the scene, apparently uninvolved, except that every minute on the minute, without moving, he bellows MOVE IT, SAILORS to no one in particular. But nothing moves. For several moments the scene is one of rigid immobility. A line ensign looks at the sailors, the sailors look at the open hatch, the P 0. looks at space. Suddenly one sailor drops his carton and starts amb- ling calmly toward the exit. Ensign: Hey there, -uli- where are you going? Sailor: (Stops but doesn ' t turn around) I gotta take a. ...gotta go to the head. Ensign: (Confused) Well, er, wait a minute, er,...NO! You can ' t do it! It ' s coming! Sailor: What ' s coming? Ensign: The stuff, the gear, it ' s on its way! Sailor: (Turning wearily) But Sir, I been holding that same box for 20 minutes and we ain ' t gettin ' nowhere. Ensign: I know, I know, but don ' t worry. It ' ll be any minute now. They ' re coming, I tell you. The boxes are coming! P.O. MOVE IT SAILORS! (Sailor opens his mouth wide, jerks his head once vio- lently, closes mouth, then ambles back to place in line and picks up box. Now enter Supply Officer, shuffling walk, counting boxes. He counts his way up the line, counts the pile next to the hatch, pauses briefly to count box under PO ' s butt, then peers into open hatch.) Supply Off icer: Zednik! What ' s the count down there? Zednik: (Voice emerging from the gloom) Whatdya mean, the count? Supply Officer: You ' re counting the boxes, aren ' t you? Zednik: Hell, no, I ' m not counting! How can I count? I only got two inches clearance between the overhead and the top of the boxes. P.O.: MOVE IT, SAILORS! Supply Officer: Well, ah- the point is you gotta count. Zednik: Why aren ' t they counting up there? Supply Officer: Well, er... (looks at PO for a moment, then turns back)... He can ' t possibly count up here. He hasn ' t got a piece of paper. Zednik: Well, how the hell am I going to count down here? Supply Officer: Wait, let me think. (Stands blankly, face contorted with the effort of shifting into THINKING mode of operation, peering into open hatch). Ensign: (After a long, silent pause) Let me help. (Quietly moves over next to Supply Officer, also stares into hatch.) P.O.: (After another pause): MO ' E IT, SAILORS! CURTAIN 24 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ENGINEERING OFFICER The Engineering Department, affectionately known as the snipes ' , function as the guardians of BEATTY ' s machinery, including the steam and propulsion plant and all auxiliai-ies. The Engineering Officer heads the show ably assisted by the Main Propulsion Assistant, the Damage Control Assistant, and the B Division Officer. The De- partment includes three major divisions: M , B , and R . M Division ' s domain includes the ship ' s two engine rooms, where turbines, reduction gear, and associated propulsion equipment must be maintained and operated. To B Division falls the responsibility for the firerooms, and in them, the ship ' s boilers. R Division encom- passes a wide variety of repair and damage control functions, including the maintenance of the ship ' s auxi- liary systems, electrical, internal communications, and ship- fitting. In the eternal, good-natured intership battle over who is the most important, the snipes voices can always be heard loud and clear. Without them, they say, the ship would be without power, heat, hot water, and movement— in other words, NOT a ship, but a helpless hulk. This is quite true. LTJG JOHN Cherub ' RULING Middletown, R.

Ky special thanks go to the folloving men who offered their time to play at a social dance given by the Centre for its students and their guests. - LtJG. Don Latham - K. a. Uillia STCS - Robert Cool 3r.!3 - Roy Alvorsen EM3 - Rook Rowland RD2 The Beatty Beatles were a big success with the Spaniards. It is so seldom they have the opportunity to hear and dance to American melodies played by Americans themselves. We were also very well pleased viith the number of American sailors who showed up at the dance. This gave our students a chance to meet and talk to them. ;(e hope that some will correspond. This is a good way for Americans and Spaniards to get acquainted and work toward better understanding between both countries. Again, many thanks for your cooperation.
