A THE TRADITION The USS BORDELON QDD-8815 was commissioned at Orange, Texas on the 3rd day of March 1945 as a destroyer of the SUMNER Class. The ship was named in honor of Staff Sergeant William J. Bordelon, who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery during the Battle of Tarawa. From 1945 to 1948 BORDELON was part of the Pacific Fleet, In 1948 herhome- port was shifted to Norfolk, Virginia, and she became a part of the Atlantic Fleet. From 1948 to 1954 the ship deployed with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean three times and participated in four Northern Europe cruises. In the fall of 1954 BORDELON underwent a major overhaul at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard which con verted the ship to a radar picket destroyer fDDRJ of the GREENE Class After leaving the shipyard and undergoing refresher training BORDELON rejoined the Atlantic Fleet in 1956 Between 1956 and 1959 when the ship entered the shipyard for her next regular overhaul, BORDELON deployed with the Sixth Fleet three times and made two cruises to Northern Europe During this period BORDELON was awarded both the coveted Battle Efficiency E and the Anti submarine Warfare A for Destroyer Squadron FOUR In March 1959 the sh1p's homeport was shifted to Charleston South Carolina From 1959 to 1963 BORDELON was twice deployed with the Sixth Fleet and she participated in most of the Second Fleet and NATO air defense exercises which were conducted to develop new techniques of fleet anti air warfare In October 1962 the BORDELON participated in the recovery of LT COL John Glenn and his APOLLO II space craft after the first U.S. manned orbital flight. BORDELON also took part in the C ub an quarantine o p e r ati o n from October to December of that year. In February 1963 BORDELON entered the Charleston Naval Shipyard to undergo the Navy program designed to extend the life of many of the ships constructed during World War II, Upon the completion of this refurbishment fFleet Rehabilitation and Modernizationj, the ship was reassigned to Destroyer Squadron FOUR, her present squadron. In July and August 1965 the ship was assigned duty with Task Force 124 in connection with U.S. operations off the coast of the Dominican Republic during that sum- mer's crisis, In August 1966 BORDELON participated in the North Sea NATO ' Operation STRAIGHTLACED The ship then deployed to the Mediterranean from October 1966 to January 1967 During that December the ship participated in a search and rescue operation for the survivors of the stricken Greek ferry HERAKLION The BORDELON completed a major over haul in the Charleston Naval Shipyard in the summer of 1967 followed by Refresher Training at Guantanamo Bay Cuba during August and September .v 'Q THE MISSION 1 Nov Depart Charleston 5 Nov Transit Panama Canal 13-16 Nov In port San Diego 22-25 Nov In port Pearl Harbor 5 Deo Fuel stop Guam 9-16 Dec In port Subio Bay 17 Dec Participated in MERCONVEX 2-68 19 Dec-6 Jan TG 77.3 QCORAL SEAI 8-12 Jan In port Subic Bay 13-14 Jan Gunfire support training 17-19 Jan TG 77.3 20 Jan-11 Feb Operation Sea Dragon 14-24 Feb In port Kaohsiung 26 Feb-8 Mar TU 70.8.9 fGunfire supporty 9-14 Mar TU 77.0.4 fAAW pioketl 14-17 Mar 17-18 Mar 21-26 Mar 28 Mar 1-5 Apr 5 Apr 8-12 Apr 15 Apr-1 May 4 May 6-10 May 15 May 18-20 May 27-28 May 6 Jun 10 Jun STRONG and MANLEY f TG 77.4 fKITTY HAWKQ TG 77.8 fBON HOMME RICHARD, In port Hong Kong Fuel stop Subic Bay In port Singapore Crossed Equator f1700J In port Subic Bay TG 77.4 Fuel stop Buckner Bay, Okinawa In port Yokosuka Fuel stop Midway In port Pearl Harbor In port San Diego Transit Panama Canal Return Charleston COMMANDING OFFICER con FRANK R.

Involved in just about every evolution, division personnel played a major role in condition watches, gunfire support, mooring , and anchoring, pilot rescue, torpedo recovery, and normal steaming. More than sixty under- way replenishments without an injury at tests to their skill and experience in that evolution., Always on deck at reveille, First Division was primarily responsible for maintaining the ship at a high standard of appearance, an appearance certainly matching the best in the West. Every man will remember winning both the ship's softball and basketball tourna- ments held in Subic Bay, and that night on Yankee Station unrepping from the AF to the best of the service ship's rock and roll band.

On port an starboard rotation from departure Charleston until final departure Yankee Station, Ol Division radarmen were an integral part of every operation. It mayihave been steady steaming-hour after hour of watching channel one on your favorite radar repeater. lt may have been Operation Seadragon, plot- ting the run into the beach . lt may have been carrier ops, recommending course to station. It may have been gtuifire support, setting up for H and I, communicating with the spotter, recording data. lt may have been as AAW picket, tracking unidentified aircraft. Wherever it was, Combat put out the Word . ' Modern Warfare has become more and more depend- ent on electronics - long range detection, rapid com- munications, electronic eavesdropping . Ol Division electronics technicians maintained the ship's radar and commtuiications equipment at a high state of readiness throughout the cruise. The division also enjoyed its liberty. In fact we almost lost two' radarmen to the local girls in Subic., And then there was the time when Tom Simpson, on shore patrol, came across Greek, Fletcher and Kerner in a dark rear corner of a club wrapped in blankets. It seems they had sent their rain -soaked uniforms to a laundry for cleanincg and pressing. At Singapore Kerner played olf OJ an on Midway Trapp discovered that gooney irds bite.

What's wrong with the SPA -25? OC DIVISION Fast and reliable communications is a necessity in any combat environment, and the challenge was met successfully by OC Division. A new message routing system was devised to handle the five fold increase in message traffic. Transit drills around the clock provided opportunities for radiomen and signalmen to sharpen their skills. Especially during carrier task group operations, tactical communications were visual, keeping the signal gang on its toes. The radio gang received sev- eral Well Done.',s from operational com- manders for its communications effectiveness and reliability. Elsewhere in OC the quarter- masters maintained the navigational picture 'round the clock, the Ship's Office kept up with the mounds of paperwork necessary for the effective administration of the ship Chief Hamilton and Morgan dispensed shots and malaria pills with vigor, and liberty call never prevented postmaster Cullinan from getting the mail out on time. During gunfire support OC'ers from every gang took their places in gun mounts, handling rooms, maga- zines, and bridge. ff , ,M f V V G f Wx 7 tisin f I , ffffi .

Other times required that the MM's see how fast they could answer a flank bell when Counterbattery was heard over the phones from the bridge, p by Fuel and water economy was the MM's high point, achieved through careful plant operation and meticulous maintenance. Many underw ay repairs were accomplished in order to keep the plants running at peak performance and to ensure maximum readiness for all evolutions. The Evaporator gang showed their professionaliam b keeping both fresh water and feedwater tanks topped o f. Over the cruise, the evaporators made over 3. 6 million gallons of water, over 6,100 gallons per man. This completely prevented the unwanted situation known by many as water -hours . Often, in spite of constant care and time -honored practices, a casualty would occur, and the inevitable words would be heard from the bridge, Main Control, what's going on down there? The MM's put in many long, hard hours of main- tenance inport to enable reliable underway operation of the main en ines. These engines are technically under- way before t e ship is and are never secured until the ship has been completely moored. lt was a rough cruise Igor the Engineers, but they got us over and they got us ack. ifgsrwa- fav ima?

For twenty-three days the BORDELON participated in Sea Dragon, cruising along the North Vietnamese coast- line, always on the alert for elusive WIBLICS blasting shore targets once or twice a day, halt- ing the southward flow of material and supplies, carrying the way to the enemy, The ship oper- ated first with the Australian guided missile destroyer HMAS PERTH, whose commanding of- ficer served as task unit commander, then with the USS HOEL fDDG 133 with their Commodore, 1 COMDESDIV 152, as unit commander.

Cheers for the guns of BORDELON, Well Done, CAPTAIN NIVISON. From ComDesRon 15, 16 Mar. - BORDELON performance. I take pleasure in commending you for the support you gave my staff and me during the period you served as my flagship. Noteworthy was the support I received in the area of com- munications. The professionalism displayed by your gunnery department and combat information center in delivering high volume accurate fire with a main battery that required regunning should be a source of pride to all who serve in BORDE LON. To leave the line with only one bombardment round in your maga- zines exemplifies the can do spirit I observed in BORDELON. It has been a dis- tinct pleasure to have BORDELON serve as my flagship. f From Commander Cruise-Destroyer Group, Seventh Fleet, 12 May - Nothing could be finer As you return to Charleston upon completion of a most success- ful deployment, I wish to extend to each of you my personal congratulations for a job well done. As a unit, you have shown outstanding initiative, responsiveness and professional prowess. Individually, you have displayed exemplary skill, while par- ticipating in nearly every area of destroyer operations in the Tonkin Gulf. Naval gunfire, support, Sea Dragon, special ops and emergency search and rescue have all been enhanced by the presence of DesRon Four ship, Indeed, nothing could be finer than the achievement demonstrated by you South Carolinians. RADM S. H. MOORE. From Commander Seventh Fleet, 14 May - Soyonara. As you depart, I con- gratulate your entire squadron on the fine job you have done while deployed to WestPac. The outstanding performance of all your ships on naval gunfire sup- port missions resulted in badly needed relief for hard pressed in-country forces. In addition, the attack carrier escort services provided by McCARD, STRONG and BORDELON were significant factors in the safety and success of air strikes launched against North Vietnam. The contributions made by the ships of your squadron have been highly significant, and we of Seventh Fleet are proud to have had you serving with us. As you return home. I want to personally thank ComDes Ron Four and his fine staff, as well as the officers and men of MANLEY, McCARD, STRONG and BORDE LON for a job well done, best wishes for happy reunions with 3.6213 families and loved ones, and for a well deserved rest, VADM W.
