Destroyers are named after sailors. Not states or counties, but the people who lived and died on the decks an. in the spaces. We sail a ship named Blakely, after a Captain and an Admiral. We are the third ship to do so, after TB-27 and DD-150. The heroes and .S the victories are part of our ' legacy. We carry the exploits o l two men and two ships wherever we go, because we carry a name. We carry the . mystery of a name lost with 1 Captain Blakely when he sailed the Wasp for the Spainish Mai in 1814 and was never heard from again. We carry the dang of a name, a danger very real L the crew of DD-150 when she L was torpedoed near Martinique in 1942. We carry the nameS 0 these ships and these men, the crew and the captains of our Blakely. There are ghosts behin us, and perhaps a history lesson. around us. 15 is SS BLAKELY KDD-1501, 1918 Af F,-if 1 USS BLAKELY KTB-271, 1901 'w-u- 1 Q45-QQ 1... 1 'Q 1 A mmm XR xxxw M '.,, Nw I Q 1- p , , qu ' ' ..... 3 i.

Our age has thrust the ubiquitous electron into the charthouse - infallible systems of the fu- ture designed to render the quarter-master obsolete. The flashing lights and regurgitating tapes provide diversion for the ceaseless rou- tine of the log, the synoptics, the plotting . . . But the sea is a hard master and the machine is not of the art. The infallible sys- tems come and go while our path is guided by the ancient order of steady hand, keen eye, and Nathaniel Bowditch. i -4 'i pi . . , 'T' t :Y bi ii u ..

Fil The boats aren't made for racing, and they look like it. Every ship has the same boat, the same slightly fat looking, unpretentious motor whale boat. But they held a race anyway, and the energy and time went into visible substitutes, for a race that would be invisible to most of us. The boat looked good and the crew looked ready. We deserved to win. We had a good boat. lt carried us ashoreat Kalamata, and brought us back, steady when our steps were uncer- tain, and the browlights hazy in our eyes. And we had a good crew. They worked hard at Kalamata. They would work hard at Alassio, Toar- mina, Syracusa, Sousse and Portafer- raio. They would stay up until three in the morning getting us back, and then get up early to get those of us who couldn't, or wouldn't, come back the night before. We deserved to win. Because the people who made the boat as fast as possible for the race, would, in the future, work harder just to make it run, so we could go ashore. We deserved to win for all the landings made well, and all the stum- bling to the ladder, and all the strand- ings ashore that were waiting down the road for us. We finished fourth. But the boats aren't made for racing, Our victories would come later, over fatigue, our own folly, and the sea itself.

They pass slowly. The impressive facts of a deployment are not that we do things well, but that we do them day after day, knowing excellence is the standard and persistence the requirement. We do everything we must do and we keep doing it and keep doing it. We keep on keeping on. 1 When ships first went to sea they probably carried someone who could fix while they were away from port. That was yesterday. This is today and we have the HT. But we must also carry someone trained in the unspeakable potentialities of the next war. If that tomorrow comes, we will have the HT.

Each stillborn child of genius attests to that This picture book, whatever its shortcomings is an idea nutured by many well-intentioned gestures, our few talents, and a great effort. It is the work of many people. QM3 Dodds produced virtually all the excellent photography. It was not simply a matter of taking pictures. Petty Officer Dodds lurked around in IUSI about SVGVY SDHCG onboard in an effort to include everyone's picture in the book. In all he took over 1400 pictures. This only began his work because the tedium came as he indefatigueably processed, edited and finally printed those chosen for final proofs. This was done in a sink in the filter cleaning room under hardly ideal conditions. STG2 Gardner worked with Petty Qfficer Dodds and Contributed a considerable number of photographs. Ens. Kelly, Lt. Butler, OSI Fisher, Lt. Butzon Lt. Rinn Ens. Brunson, Ens. Swaysland, SR Bennet, Lt. Burdette, Lt. Bloom, and a Sonar Tech from the USS Dewey all contributed photographs. Most of the layout design was done by STG1 Morlick. This encompasses the myriad of minute details which must accompany every group of pictures and requires great patience, foresight, concentration, a scaleograph, printers ruler, lots of beer and considerable swearing. STG2 Hendrix worked closely with Petty Officer Morlick. The man who has suffered the most headaches and will surely get the least credit is LTtjgl Henry, who spearheaded the fund raising effort. Largely through his efforts, very few corners were cut for the expense of the book. There are others who perhaps should be mentioned here for their assistance during bingo and other fund raisers, but let a general thanks suffice with a particular note of gratitude to all of you who so eagerly donated money on collection nights. Mr Gregory Nygard of Western Yearbook provided advice and technical assistance and was helpful and tolerant from our first meeting in Naples There are others who could be included here whose help in some way was essential to the realization of the book. Thank you all But this book is a catalog of moments and memories we have shared as shipmates This book is only possible because each of us has shared part of himself. My final and special thanks to the men who sweat - to the shipmates to whom this book is dedicated. Shuford ery respectfully, , This was almost stillborn. I inherited the book with the goal of finishing it. My effort was toward continuity and completeness, IF: responsible for about half the layouts. lvlr. Conrad contributed the CIC copy, Mr. Fitsimonds the navigation copy, Mr. Burdette LSE copy, and Mr. Kelly the ASW copy. The wise man's son quote is from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The copy in The Ship tion is from Lord lim by loseph Conrad. The rest of the copy is mine. I made changes in the book consistent with the thoughts original creator, the material available, and the common rules of layout, design and a sense of fairness. I accept responsibility G blame for the book in its final form. I add my thanks to QM3 Dodds. He contributed more than any other single person. STG2 ndrix kept the book, and my sanity, together. PNSN Roundtree did the final copy typing. Greg Nygard should not have had :put up with what he did. I apologize to him and thank him. I also apologize to those who have been waiting for this book. I pe it is satisfying enough to be worth it. If it is not I can accept the blame. If it is, I can accept only part of the credit. DPS 177 -,: T H' M. W Vi .
