GRIFFIN UDUTEl7STATESlW4VI' UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET COMMANDER SEVENTH FLEET 2 December 1960 From: Commander SEVENTH Fleet To: Task Group 7O.h Subj: The Challenge and Responsibility of Antisubmarine Warfare l. As our newest Antisubmarine Carrier Group joins the SEVENTH Fleet today to become Task Group 7O.u, it is appropriate that Commander SEVENTH Fleet reaffirm the vital importance of antisubmarine readiness. 2. Antisubmarine warfare capability is universally recognized as one of the most significant requirements of naval strategy. No nation can maintain control of the sea or protect its mari- time commerce without an effective and versatile ASW capability. Two great wars have scourged the world since submarines became a naval weapon and, in both of these wars, a thin line of tired sailors and airmen provided the margin which drove the sub- marines from the seas to insure ultimate victory. The United States and its free world allies have learned this lesson well. 3. You men of Task Group 70.4, with your specially configured ASW ships and aircraft, have been trained and shaped into a balanced precision team, superbly oriented to the single mission of detecting, localizing, and destroying the submarines which, today, represent the greatest threat to continued freedom of the seas. The energy, enthusiasm, and devotion which you bring to your antisubmarine task may influence the course of history. h. Your modern ASN weapons systems and the new developments of the future promise much, but the principal strength of our antisubmarine power has always been - and will continue to be - men. As long as there is a sea, it will be controlled by a sailor. 5. Good luck and best wishes. I am proud that we serve the same God, Nation, and Navy. P ' ' C. D. G IN Vice Admiral, U. S.

THACH UNITED STA TES NAVY COMMANDER ANTISUBMARINE DEFENSE FORCE UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET To the Officers and Men of Task Group '70, 4: Of all the different kinds of military operations, naval operations are the least understood. Of all the tasks performed by the Navy, antisubmarine warfare contains more complexities and seems to generate more misconceptions among our citizens, and sometimes even within the Navy itself, than any other. As each day goes by and more missile launching submarines slide down the building ways, the submarine threat against cities, and against all military installations on land increases. The advent of nuclear powered submarines also makes the traditional job of the protection of shipping far more difficult. The role of antisubmarine warfare in the Navy is an ever in- creasing one and is playing an important part in the defenses of our country today. The atomic power in submarines today gives them the ability to stay submerged for long periods of time. Our job is to see that we stay on top of them. The best deterrent to war today is the demonstration to unfriendly nations that we have the ability to sit on top of their submarines and can kill them if they make a hostile move. A p A The challenge of these modern-day submarines will be met if all of us work together as a coordinated team. A P . . I I H J.S.

From the four main engines which can propel the ship in excess of thirty knots to the plumbing in the showers, the chief snipe manages a utilities empire that provides the sinew and muscle in this floating city of over two thousand inhabitants. The Engineers are so deeply involved in the ship's opera- tion that no shipboard evolution could be accomplished without their assistance. Power to the galleys, fresh water to the scuttlebutts, the lights we read and work by, even our movie projectors are supplied and maintained by the ever resourceful snipes.

CAG's Office Staff I f AIR ANTI-SUBMARINE SQUADRQN THIRTY-THREE AIR ANTI-SUBMARINE SQUADRON THIRTY-THREE Since its commissioning on 1 April 1960, VS-33 has had ra colorful history. As one of the first squadrons formed under the new CARRIER AIR GROUP concept for ASW units, VS-33 quickly established itself as a first line unit in the NAVY'S ASW arsenal. The officers and men who originally formed VS-33 came from VS- 38, our sister squadron in CVSG-59. With these personnel as a nucleus, the squadron has continued to grow to its present com- plement. Following an extensive training period at NAS NORTH ISLAND, the squadron became part of the semi-permanent EASTPAC HUK GROUP on 1 July 1960. In mid-July, the squadron departed San Diego for extensive training operations off the California coast. 1 October 1960 marked the deployment of VS-33 to the Hawaiian area for further operational training and evaluation. On November 21, the Task Group sortied from Pearl Harbor to join the famous Seventh Fleet in WESTPAC. At this writing, the squadron has compiled a record of over 5500 flight hours. While embarked on the BENNINGTON, the squadron has steamed over 45,000 miles and recorded over 2,000 carrier landings without an accident. 1 .- Q O ,X-Q, y 3 SS sis, COMMANDING OFFICER 1 APRIL 60 - 8 FEBRUARY 61 YQ- DANGER COMMANDER DANIEL J.

It'd work better if you turned it over, Sir H R QLJ 163 IN RE DINESS Following the Marine Corps tradition of readiness, HMRKLJ 163 unhesitantly extended its air arm to answer a distress call. The Philippines Airline's recovery team, fighting against the jungle, was faultering in their attempts to reach.the wreckage of a DC-3. The airliner had crashed 23 November 1960 on Mt. Baco with the expected loss of all passengers and crew. 33 lives! Under the command of Maj Chambers, four helicopters of HMRQLJ 163 arrived on the scene 11 December 1960. For two days Maj Chambers led his flight into the hazardous winds and steep canyons of Mt. Baco to provide support to the recovery team. Mission Complete! HMRQLD 163, in its goodwill assistance to PAL, has written another successful chapter in the growing volume of uPeople to Peoplef' A joint, PAL, USMC, and USAF Recovery Operation A 1 .Avi . 1 -. gif -1 A f 4 ,UAWXY af ' 'S . . - - ' h Capts Day and Gilbert get acqualnted Marine hellcoptel' Pilots dlscuss t e with the native guides. hazards of Mt.

'fig 4 4 COMMANDING OFFICER QINGERSOLL s USS INGERSOLL is named in honor of Lt Royal Rodney INGERSOLL II, who gave his life for his country during the battle of Midway in June 1942. INGERSOLL was built at the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, and was commissioned on 31 'August 1934. She was assigned to the Pacific Fleet in late 1943 and sailed to join the Admiral uBull Halsey's Third Fleet in the South Pacific. Her initiation to combat was during the attack on Truk Island, the Japanese bastion of strength in the Mid-Western Pacific. After that INGERSOLL participated in many engagements and operations throughout the Pacific campaign. She. helped sweep the Japanese back from New Guinea, Philippine Sea, Surigao Straits, and the Philippine Islands. Later she sailed north and joined Task Forces that assaulted the Marianas Islands of Guam and Saipan. Still later she participated in the Third Fleet attacks on Formosa and Northern Luzon. When the surrender ceremonies took place in 1945 in Tokyo Bay, the INGERSOLL was among that great armada of U. S. Fighting ships which had fought so valiantly and continuously across the enormous Pacific Basin to drive the enemy from U. S. Shores. ' ' At the war's end, the fleet was reduced and the uolderi' ships were placed in Moth Balls. INGERSOLL was decommissioned and assigned to the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in 1946. COMMANDER IRA W. BONNETT, USN, began his naval career as an enlisted man in November 1934. He advanced through the fire control ratings while serving on board USS TENNESSEE KBB-431. While on board, he participated in the action at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. In 1942, he was appointed Warrant Gunner and ordered to USS NASHVILLE KCL-431. In 1943 he was commissioned Ensign. While on board, 'the Commander performed as AA Director Officer, Plotting Room Officer and Fire Control Officer, and saw action in the majority of the Pacific campaigns from the Battle of Guadal- canal to the end of that war. I Since WW II, Commander Bcnnett has attended the University of Virginia and the General Line School at Newport, R. 1.3 served in USS MEREDITH QDD-8901 and USS RICHARD B. ANDERSON CDD-7861. He commanded USS RED RIVER YLSMR-5225 and USS BOYD CDD-5441. He was an instructor. at Naval Gunfire Support School, Little Creek, Virginia. The Commander has served on staffs of Commander Blockading and Escort Force, Pacific, Commander Naval Forces, Far East, and Commanding General, Landing Force Training Unit, Pacific. The Com- mander assumed command of INGERSOLL on 1 June 1960. HI EXECUTIVE OFFICER In 1952 INGERSOLL was called into the active fleet again and assigned to the AIZIHHUC Fleet In the spring of 1953 she translted the Panama Canal and sailed on to the Fai East where she participated in the Korean War Later in 1954 INGER SOLL was reassigned to the Pacific Fleet as a unit of Destroyer Squadron TWENTY ONE Islands off the coast of Chlna 1n 1955 Since then she has deployed annually from her home base at San Diego to the Western PHCITIC to operate with the powerful U S SEVENTH FLEET Keeper of the peace in the Orient INGERSOLL now wears an E on her bridge representing general excellence in INGERSOLL participated in the U. S. Seventh Fleet evacuation of the Tachen destroyers. Her guns and directors dis la '4E's re resentin outstanding unner . P Y P g C g Y marksmanship. She also wears the HER for excellence in Operations. In June 1960, INGERSOLL was assigned to the Ready Hunter-Killer QI-IUKJ Task Group. She and the other ships and aircraft of the I-IUK Group are charged with the responsibility of sweeping the oceans clear of enemy submarines. A formidable force such as this is the prime fear of enemy subs. INGERSOLL is proud to be a member of this hard hitting powerful deterent force. YOU, the officers and men of the INGERSOLL, can be proud of her. LIEUTENANT COMMANDER EDWARD P. STILWELL, USN, began his sea going career in February 1942 in the Merchant Marine on the freighter SS MARK HANNA. In 1943, he entered the U. S. Merchant Academy.

In October 1945, he was assigned duty as Instructor in the Dept. of Seamanship and Navigation at the U. S. Naval Academy. In 1947, he was released to Inactive duty and returned to his home in San Francisco, California. Since returning to active duty, Com- mander Stilwell served on the USS NEREUS QAS-175 and the USS CHANTICLEER KASR-75. His previous duty on destroyers was on the USS RICHARD B. ANDERSON CDD-7863 as Gunnery Officer and in the latter part of the tour as Executive Officer. Prior to reporting to this ship, he was assigned to the U. S. Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory as a Research Investigator. Com- mander Stilwell reported aboard INGERSOLL as Executive Officer in March 1960. The Operations Officer is responsible for the collec- tion, evaluation and dissem- ination of combat and op- erational information and in- telligence, for external com- munications and for the maintenance and repair of electronics equipment. The Engineer Officer is re- sponsible for the mainte- nance of the ship's main pro- pulsion plant, auxiliary ma- chinery, electric power gen- erators and distribution sys- tem.

Cdr James R. COLLIER, USN Commander James R. Collier of 1108 High St., Bremerton, Washington, was commissioned Ensign, USNR, on 1 March 1944 from the Naval Reserve Officer's Training Corps, University of Washington. During the remaining segment of WW II, he served on board the USS LCM 27 in the Pacific. He became Commanding Officer of that ship in November of 1945. Following the War, he became CIC Officer of the USS Atlanta CCL 1045. A After the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, he served in the USS JUNEAU KCI..-1191 in Korean waters. In August 1953, he became Gunnery Officer in USS K. D. BAILEY QDDR-7135 and later the USS WILLIS A. LEE CDL-45. After his tour with the LEE, Cdr. COLLIER became Head of Training Plans, Office of Plans and Policies, Bureau of Naval Personnel. In December 1957, he became Executive Officer of the USS JOHN S. MCCAIN QDL-35 and upon detachment, attended the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island. On August 13, 1960, he became Commanding Officer of the USS STODDARD QDD-5661. Cdr. COLLIER and his wife, the former Mary Ann Tatham of, Portland, Oregon, reside with their three sons and two daughters at 4845 Jellet St., San Diego,.California. - . II, the STODDARD was decommissioned until March 1951, when she came back to active service. The STODDARD operated in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea until December 1954, when she steamed through the Panama Canal to join the Pacific Fleet. In January 1955, the ship set out for a Far Eastern Cruise during which she took part in the evacu- ation of the Tachen Islands and served on the For- mosa Patrol. Annually the STODDARD has made cruises to the Western Pacific. HISTORY Among her ports of call have been the following: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Yokosuka, Sasebo, Kobe, J apang Okinawa, Kaohsiung, Formosa, Hong Kongg Subic Bay, Philippines, Singapore, Midway Island, Pago Pago, Samoa, Sydney, Perth, Darwin, Australia. The STODDARD was awarded the E Battle Efficiency Award for the year 1954-55 by Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet, and again in August 1956 thus placing her in the very select group of ships who have won this important award for two consecutive years. During the fall of 1958, the STODDARD took part in the escorting of convoys to Formosa, Quemoy and Matsu. The STODDARD continues to uphold the pre- paredness and vigilance necessary to meet any na- tional emergency, either expected or unexpected. . , 4 f ' 'f a A ,. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER Lcdr Jay J.

Singleness of purpose, teamwork in carrying out the objectives, to- getherness in mind and spirit, coupled with a will and determination to do your best for your country and loved onesg were the catalysts that merged the personnel of the carrier, destroyers, and aircraft squad- rons into a perfect homogeneous operating unit. As you read this book and reflect on the part you played, you will experience that great sense of accomplishment that comes, only, from giving unselfishly and freely of one's self for the common benefit of all. Your lightness of heart expressed on your faces and by your ac- tions of decorating the spaces before Christmas were the expressions of American citizens that believe in our Christian way of life and are truly determined to fight for its principles no matter what the cost. It is indeed an honor to have had the opportunity and privilege of' being a shipmate, and it is with deepest sincerity that I extend to you all a,f Well Done!
