Hutcheson LTJG T.J. Turczyn WEAPONS SUPPLY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT , The Operations Department has had a most interesting deployment. It has been a period spent largely perfecting two previously established operational techniques, and also learning to utilize the new concepts which are constantly being introduced to todays Navy. The operations personnel are either directly or indirectly involved with every evolution the ship undertakes. For instance, few things are done aboard the ship which do not pass through Combat Information Center or Radio Central. These two stations must be manned 24 hours a day, whether in port or underway. The ship's administration, navigational, and medicalpersonnel are also in the Operations Department. And of course, there is the most popular man on the ship, the mailman. Q The cruise has been quite satisfying to the men in Operations, for this deployment has been a big test for all of them. The North ' Atlantic Cruise was a challenge met well by the men in Operations.

The primary job of the department was to keep the propellers turning sothat BEATTY could meet the many 5 commitments which carried her more than 20,000 miles during the period of deployment. I The Repair Division earned it's pay on many occasions through- out the cruise. The men of R Division worked late into the night to restore casualities to operational status. The IC men gained the favor of the whole ship's company by keeping the moving picture machine in good repair. During the 3 1X2 months of deployment they showed more than 150 movies. z w' 7 N i X K 7 7 2 C O 7- ,JVZ f T 7 , kj c ab m r E Sp Lf 41 1- ff v' ' 2 0 'E' l ' I D 1 -lb l .' 4 . f 'gif - .L I A -,-,-- 1' it ' A -.nf-:T 4 fimi as-f , ' '? -E ' P : ' E D ' '-ff 25 .45 ' ,' f' 1 .0 T, TL?-rv? 14, gli- Q :W i L 'A' ywaffa-Y'! ,'i: :M- A .

The men of First, Second, and Fox divisions must - l t dto our five- operate, maintain and repair all the equipment re a e inch gun battery and to our anti-submarine torpedoes and hedge hogs. When not pinging on an exercise submarine, the sonarmen were on the fantail operatingthe Bathythermalgraph,adevice for taking deep sea temperatures. , Deck hands of First and Second divisions are responsible for the appearance of the ship. When a ship is deployed to the North Atlantic she is left without home port support and must care for herself the best she can. As the months rolled by the BEATTY looked better and better. On more than one occasion, she was complimented as being the best looking ship in the squadron. The credit goes to the men of First and Second divisions, their hard work and continuous attention. The above are the primary tasks of the divisions of the Weapons Department,but worthy of note arethe multitude of various tasks performed by these meng replenishment and transfer of all types while at sea, honors and ceremonies, underway watch standing on the bridge, after steering, our beloved motor vsihale boat, small arms, and more. ,:,Rf at XJ 4 E i 44.-I If r l FIR T DIVISION LTJG A.

I 9 V 9 5 21 l E pw I , l UPPLY DEPARTMENT Whenever a ship is deployed to the North Atlantic, it's equip- ment must operate at peak efficiency for an extended period of time, whether it be located above or below decks. Also when deployed, the crew must maintain, its efficiency and no small part of this involves its food and diet. And what sailor doesn't look forward to pay-day, obtaining gifts for loved ones, or just sitting around eating gedunk '? To accomplish this we have the Supply Department in whose hands is placed the job of repair parts for all equipment on the ship, feeding the crew, doing their laundry, cutting their hair and keeping them in such items as cigarettes, candy, razor blades, soap, etc. In order to accomplish all of these jobs while deployed the ship must be replenished periodically. At least once a month we can expect to receive a replenishment of material necessary to maintain our efficiency. Planning and accomplishing this job is one task of the Supply Department. During normal day-to-day operations, material is issued to departments for care and upkeep of equipment and spaces. The cooks and stewards are always trying to find new ways to keep the crew and officers fed with their three squares a day. The laundry operates around the clock while the ship's store makes sure everyone has a chance to make purchases during the day. For the Storekeepers, Disbursing Clerks, Ships Servicemen, Cooks, and Stewards this was a cruise where all facets concerning their respective rates were explored. From beginning to end, each day brought new and challenging tasks to be accomplished. On many of these occasions the task was of an urgent nature, requiring a prompt and accurate solution, whether it was acquiring a repair part for and inoperative piece of equipment, providing payment for transferred personnel or preparing food for unexpected quests. At the end of this cruise each man in the department can say with great pride that he has lived upto the motto of Supply, Service to the Fleet . , SUPPLY DIVISION X ,, . 3 ' -2: Z - ' A .

She was commissioned on 31 March 1945. The early duty of the BEATTY was varied. Primarily a training ship, she saw service in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. Her first overseas assignment was in 1947 when the ship visited England, Scandanavia, and Gibraltar. The following year, 1948, the BEATTY operated in the vicinity of Haifa, in support of the UN truce commission during the Jerusalem crisis. Several other Mediterranean Cruises followed in 1949, 1950, and 1951. 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 and anti-submarine action off the Hingnam area. During the 1950's BEATTY deployed to the Medi- terranean five times. She also took part in 3 different trouble shooting missions. Dominican Republic-1961, Blockade of Cuba- 1962, and Costa Rica-1963. In all BEATTY has been through two Mercury Recovery Missions, 11 cruises to the Mediterranean, more than 20 cruises to the Caribbean, 7 times through the Panama Canal, 8 times through the Suez Canal and 26 Atlantic crossings. After a highly successful North European Cruise, BEATTY looks forward to a very full life of continuing accomplishment. K .. A-1 . WILHELMSHAVEN, GERMANY WILHELMSHAVEN was the first port BEATTY arrived at in North Europe. Our stay lasted from 27-31 May. After eleven days at sea we were lookingfor- ward to German beer and a day or two of touring the country- side. We were impressed by the oleaniness of the city and the warm reception given to us by the German people. We went to sea on 31 May andlooked forward to Cherbourg, France seventeen days away. .sr , , to www, x WIKI IW X N Rex XM X The Hunter wwf? ff-ffl, eff, WW 5 ,5 The Hunted r , -........., -.....v 'ef - Wm! ,f W A-- .

Aalborg celebrates our Fourth of July as though it was their own. The Rebild celebration made it clear that the American Navy was truly welcome and would be for many years to come. The Danish people were very much interested in the U.S. Navyg we averaged 2,000 visitors a day for the three days of visiting. Most of the BEATTY sailors consider Aalborg the best of the six ports visited. Q, ia' 1 Q Nw 4 23 -rw---2 Q.: 4 ,W YJ W MN w,,.,f,,fg W a K A HVAV 44? USLO NORWAY OSLO, the capital of Norway was the largest city We were to visit on the cruise. There were many excellent local tours and the BEATTY sailors tookfull advantage of them. We were impressed by the number of beautiful green parks complete with fountains and small cafes. Oslo's skyline is dominated by the King's residence which overlooks the entire city. Sports as a people to people jesture was again evident as the BEATTY soccer team took on the local team. 1 l S Q I l I I 9 P I KARLSKRONA SWEDEN From Oslo We traveled south to the coastal city of KARLSKRONA. Located on the southern tip of Sweden in the Baltic sea was the closest the BEATTY came to the Soviet Union. Many of the men took advantage of the swimming and sailing offered to them by the Swedish sailors. We remained in Karlskrona from 20-26 July, for many of us entirely too short a period. ir. , 39 s NW xwx 5 You wou1dn't! ww 7 I fi ii x 7 5 f I 7 Q in w PORTSMOUTH ENGLAND After 10 days of operations in the North Atlantic we streamed south again arriving in PORTSMOUTH in 5 August. For many the stay at Portsmouth was the stepping stone for a visit to London only two hours away by train. The mimi skirts, England beer, and heavy accents come to mind when we think of this old British city. While at Portsmouth we were asked to spend two days at Sandown, Isle of Wight as host ship for the annual Rigetta. We got underway on 9 August for the 10 mile journey. w,,4-rev-ff w'W ' 'EPT N'P ,,,,,.,.4.-wax n an E3 5?

The men of the BEATTY were treated like honored guests during the festivities. They were asked to participate in and judge many of the events. The beauty contest judged by BEATTY Officers and the tug-of-war victory over the Swedish students were two of the most memorable highlights. One more at sea period, a visit to Northern Ireland, and the long trip home were formost on our minds as we left SANDOWN. Q.

Sorry, not in stock NORFOLK VIRGINIA INTRODUC TION As the men of the BEATTY sail westward from the shores of their beloved homeland North Europe, it is only appropriate that they be familiarized with the strange land they are about to visit. I The only liberty port on this exciting cruise will be Norfolk, Virginia. Act here as you would if you were a guest in another person's house. Remember--you are a foreigner here. THE PEOPLE AND THEIR HISTORY The people of the American nation are a strange and varied lot. Their language is most difficult to learn, since the dialect varies radically from one area to another. Europeans visiting the southern part of this country have reported that the small amount of the American language they learned was useless in the northern states. You will notice that the average American woman is curiously thin. Skinny as they are, you will be surprised to hear that most American women are convinced that they are too fat! Most of them make themselves even skinnier by a uniquely American process of self- starvation known as dieting, This is only one of the many ways in which American women are different from those ,of Northern Europe. One of the unique characteristics of America is that relatively few people spend much time at sea. It is reported that some have never been at sea. Nevertheless, this essentially landlubbering nation has developed modern conveniences similar to those aboard the BEATTY. Telephones, electric lights, and many other familiar appliances will be seen ashore. It must be added, however, that although the rest of America-isn't a nation of seafarers, Norfolk is somewhat different in this respect. Many residents of Norfolk spend a considerable amount of time at sea. Norfolk is located in the state of Virginia. This state was one of those which seceded from the American Union in the bloody Civil War of 1861. Although the war has long since ended, it is reported by reliable sources that it is definitely not forgotten. The flag of the Confederacy is still furtively flown. QI-from all indications the central government is power- less to stop this type of activityl All hands are cautioned to avoid political discussions with natives. The city of Norfolk, never conquered by the Romans and completely overlooked by Attila the Hun, has no ruins. It is highly desirable that BEATTY sailors maintain the status quo. It is expected that tours of Norfolk and the surrounding area will be made available. If enough people are interested, it is very likely that weekend tours to such out-of-the-way places as New York, Washington, and Philadelphia will be organized. Some of the places that you will be interested in seeing are: WILLIAMSBURG Full day tour cost 56.00. Approximately 40 miles northwest of Norfolk. The city is a study of backward colonial living. The surrounding area has prospered, but the village of Williamsburg has remained unchanged. ,RICHMOND Two day tour. Cost S13.00. Approximately 100 miles northwest of Norfolk. The capital city of the Confederacy. WASHINGTON Three day tour. Cost S15.00. The seat of the National Debating Society is located here. This is the home of the democratic form of government, the American President, and the American Department of the Navy so all sailors should feel at home here. VIRGINIA BEACH Full day tour. Cost 58.00. Typical American beach and amusement park. Many American females found here. The beach is extremely large, and North Europeans may find it rather lonely what with everyone spread out over such a huge area. No rocks--it's all sand and dangerously large waves. The natives like to crash into the beach by riding the waves. It's all very humorous. FOOD AND BEVERAGES The southern part of America is noted for its excellent cuisine. In addition to the American dishes that everyone has heard about such as hot dogs and big juicy Texas steaks everyone will want to try a Virginia specialty, the peanut. For uniquely American dishes, try the establishment Shoney's. The recommended dish here is the Big Boy, a conglomeration of practically every known food substance all rolled up into one medium sized roll. For higher class surroundings try Howard Johnsons where variety in ice cream has gotten out of hand. Surprisingly enough, plumbing facilities in most restaurants and gas stations are very elaborate. Coffee and milk take some getting use to but in time you will get to enjoy these native drinks. CURRENCY The American dollar system is used predominately in Norfolk. The Americans are very explicit in their refusal to accept Francs, Marks, and Krona. Don't ask any of the sailors that you are likely to encounter to help exchange your money, since they too are tourists. SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE Most North Europeans will find it difficult to get accustomed to the language in Norfolk. Here are a few commonly used terms that may prove useful: wall--similar to a bulkhead but constructed of plaster. Limited to shore use. ceiling--the landlubber's term for overhead. floor--a wooden or stone deck. Pardon me sir--hey joe. you all--difficult to determine who is being addressed, usually all present. It must be stressed that the language is radically different in relation to the section of the country you might happen to be in. ONE LAST WORD OF WARNING It is anticipated that a large throng of inhabitants will be on the pier when BEATTY berths. Many of these people may claim to be relatives--even wives and children. It must be remembered that similar ruses have been used in other ports where the sailors money was eagerly sought.
