On Boston's six month trip to Vietnam almost two of those months were spent in transit from Boston to the gunline. When travel in between the gunline and Subic Bay is considered, almost half of our cruise included some type of transit activity. Although the working hours are longer than when in port, the pres- sure is not like that experienced in combat operations. There is ample time for relaxing and applying oneself to advancement courses, GED exams, or concentrating on practical experience in one's rate.

W UNL W J M h wy V , , ,, , , 1 ,W U ,VHYAWYY , ,,,, w ww Tradition is an adage throughout the United States Navy and this is best reflected in the names the Navy gives to its fighting ships. One name which has been prominent in Naval history since 1776 is the capital city of Massachusetts-Boston. USS BOSTON's honored story began in the year of independence, 1776, when the first BOSTON, a tiny, armed gondola, was launched at Whitehall, New York. She served in the fledgling Revolutionary Navy against British Forces on Lake Champlain. The year 1776 also saw the second BOSTON enter the Naval service A 24 gun frigate she served as a privateer challenging the world s greatest naval power England-on the high seas Boldly cruising European waters during the Revolution she took four prizes--among them the British frigates HMS FOX and HMS POLE The third USS BOSTON lived up to the fine reputa tions set by her predecessors in fighting pirates of the Barbary Coast Built from finances raised by the clt izens of Boston in 1779 the 32 gun frigate was the first copperbottomed ship built in America During the undeclared war with France she encountered the French corvette LE BERCEAU on October 12 1800 and defeated her after a long hard engagement BOS TON fought against the British Navy again in the War of 1812 ln 1825 the fourth BOSTON entered the Navy Built in Boston Naval Shipyard she served as a sloop of war for 21 years in the Mediterranean Pacific East Indian and Brazilian Squadrons The fifth BOSTON, a protected or steel cruiser complete with masts and sails, was commissioned in 1887. She served with the Atlantic Fleet until 1892 when she entered the Asiatic Squadron in the Philip- pines. On May 3, 1898, she fought with Admiral Dewey's forces in the strategic Battle of Manila Bay. From 1898 to 1946 she continued to uphold the BOS- TON tradition by serving first as a training ship and later, under a different name, as a receiving ship. BOSTON's story took on a new luster in 1943 when CA 69 a heavy cruiser of the Baltimore class was commissioned at Quincy Massachusetts The sixth ship to bear the name Boston she entered the Navy during the global war carrying a proud heritage into the Pacific Theatre Serving with the famed Fast Carrier Forces Pacific CA 69 provided anti aircraft cover for third and fifth Fleet aircraft carriers Her eight Inch and five inch guns also pounded enemy held beaches during many of the Pacific campaigns of 1944 and 1945 The sixth BOSTON was present during the offensive action at the Marshalls and the Marianas during the invasion of Iwo lima during the Okinawa and Philip pine campaigns and at the Tokyo Bay surrender on September 2 1945 She steamed home on February 10 1946 proudly displaying her ten battle ribbons for action In the far flung Pacific Theatre of World War ll With the war over BOSTON was decommissioned in 1946 Six years later BOSTON was taken out of the moth ball fleet at Bremerton Washington and towed to USS Steel Cruiser Boston-1889 77 ? USS Boston steaming in the Pacific-1944 Camden, New jersey. Here, the New York Shipbuild- ing Company went to work modernizing the war veteran. Among the many changes, three-inch guns replaced her 40mm antiaircraft battery, and her after eight-inch gun turret gave way to a twin launch Terrier anti-aircraft missile battery. On November 1, 1955, BOSTON was recommissionedp it made history as the world's first guided missile cruiser. For the next 11 years following her recommission- ing, BOSTON served with the Second Fleet in the Atlantic and the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Dur- ing her many cruises to the Mediterranean from 1955 to 1966, BOSTON acted as flagship and was involved in many NATO exercises. Then, on March 4, 1967, she sailed for the Pacific for the first time since World War ll, and joined the U S Seventh Fleet off the coast of Vietnam in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Tonkin. Since then, the ship has returned to Vietnam twice more for seven months in 1968 and for six months in 1969. During her first two deployments, BOSTON took part in Operation Sea Dragon against North Viet- namese supply lines to the south. Her eight-inch guns were used not only against shore implacements, roads, bridges, and supply centers, but also against enemy logistics craft in coastal waters. She also fired gunfire support for Marines ashore at the Demilitarized Zone and fired in support of U. S. amphibious landings in which her eight-inch guns softened up the beaches prior to landings and acted as artillery for the advance inland. BOSTON saw a great deal of action in the waters off the coast of North Vietnam and was fired upon on many oc- casions. l I 78 On May 22, 1969, BOSTON departed from the South Annex of the Boston Naval Shipyard and head- ed on her thi-rd 12,000 mile trip to Southeast Asia. After transitting the Panama Canal, BOSTON stopped briefly at Pearl Harbor, Guam, and the Philippines. She arrived on the gunline on june 28th. From june 28th until she received orders to head home to Boston on October 7th, BOSTON fired more than 18,000 rounds of five and eight inch projectiles at enemy targets from just below the DMZ to south of Cam Ranh Bay east of Saigon. BOSTON inflicted heavy damage on enemy targets. During her four months on the gunline, BOSTON de- stroyed or damaged 339 enemy bunkers and structures, caused 119 secondary fires and explosions, knocked out 18 mortar and rocket sites, and a great deal addi- tional damage. Conducting Naval Gunfire Support Missions in the Republic of Vietnam requires a timely and precise teamwork with a Naval Gunnery Liaison Officer sta- tioned with the troops on the beach. These spotters, whether they be airborne or in the jungles, are responsible for finding the target, relaying the target'S position to the ship, spotting the rounds, and as- sessing the damage of the gunfire. After each firing mission, spotters come over the voice circuit to the Naval gunship supporting his troops and tells the ship how she did. Some of the spotter comments which BOSTON received were, Excellent-dead center on target-one of the best missions l've observed, BOS- TON is best in my book. Glad BOSTON was here- otherwise we may have been on the receiving end of what was out there, outstanding job. On 18 August, 1969, while she was on the gunline, BOSTON received word that she had received the Bat- tle Efficiency E for Atlantic Fleet cruisers. It was the second year in a row that BOSTON received the award, and it was a fitting tribute to the ship herself and to the professional ability of her officers and crew. Upon her departure from the gunline BOSTON took a detour to Yokosuka, japan to give her crew some much deserved liberty. The hardships of the 24 hour- a-day gunfire support missions off the coast of the Republic of Vietnam became forgotten memories for the officers and men of BOSTON as they enjoyed their four days in japan. On the homeward journey BOS- TON stopped briefly in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and then BOSTON headed east for Acapulco, Mexico for some additional liberty before outchopping the Pacific Fleet and heading through the Panama Canal and onward towards Boston, Massachusetts. Homecoming in Boston, Massachusetts was a special occasion for the men who served on BOSTON presently and in years past. Her homecoming on November 15, 1969 may have been the last one for the great lady of the sea-BOSTON is bound for inactiva- tion as she was at the end of World War II. BOSTON has served her country well. Her name bears the symbolism of tradition of the Navy itself. From 1776 to 1970 BOSTON has meant seapower for the United States of America.

From the 'IMC public address system speakers to the dogging wrenches which insure watertight integrity, there are few spaces aboard ship which do not con- cern the engineers. Boiler men make steam and watch the level of the oil, which fuels their boilers. Machineists mates run the engines, which drive the shaft and propeller, from the steam generated in the firerooms. They also maintain and operate the ships service turbo-generators which supply the ship with electricity, and the evaporators which supply the boilers and the crew with fresh water. Electricians handle the ships' lighting, wiring and switchboard systems. Internal communications elec- tricians make sure that the ships' phones and 1MC 106 -J 1-t I keep information flowing throughout the floating city which is the Boston at sea. The auxillary division con- trols the climate we live and work in, providing over 80 package air conditioners to cool the tropic heat and innumerable ducts to warm the New England chill. ln addition, a division operates the ships machine shop and auxillary desiel generators. The repair division aboard the Boston provides four shops, all masters of fabrication. The metal shop cuts and welds, while the pipe shop cares for the miles of piping aboard a heavy cruiser. The damage contr0l shop maintains the repair lockers and pumps whiCl1 are so vital to the safety of a warship. The carpenter shop, with wood and fibreglass, aids in the preserva- tion of non-metallic portions of the Boston and her boats. ,i 1 - - , , 3' i , N 'g -V Rv.. y fy rw, - 4 I 4,pux,+a.,, in l Lt.

The Radar- men of Ol Division collect and disseminate vital infor- mation using radar equipment, radios, publications and various other means. This information is utilized in making decisions concerning both the Boston and those units working with us. A second part of Ol division is the electronic warfare team, which inter- cepts electronic emissions, analyses them, and if necessary, jams them. The lookouts of OL Division are trained to recognize all air and surface contacts and to report them to the Officer of the Deck. The Electronic Technicians of OE Division have the primary respon- sibility of repairing and maintaining all electronics equipment used by the Operations Department. Some of their many assigned tasks include the repair and maintenance of all radars, radar repeaters, radio trans- mitters and radio recievers. OE Division is also charged with the repair and calibration of shipboard test equipment. - Q WW Cdr. Beaulieu Lcdr. R,T. Doan Lt. T.D.

They aid the Officer of the Deck in spotting contacts while underway and keep a vigil 24 hours a day. ln times of low visibility they are stationed in the eyes of the ship to help prevent collisions and assure safe navigation. Many times the lookouts will report contacts before they appear on radar scopes in CIC and on the bridge. The fantail lookouts keep alert eyes for any man overboard and immediately report any suspicion of the latter. Cold weather and tedium make the lookouts' task a difficult one but in times of emer- gency and more often in routine watchstanding they are a valuable factor in the safety of every man on Boston. A TECHNIQUE PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE AGES 125 SUPPLY DEPARTMENT The Boston's Supply Department provides the ship with the necessities which keep it running and with the extras which keep its officers and men happy. The Storekeepers provide over 45,000 different items from repair parts for weapons systems to office supplies. The Commissarymen, skilled in the arts of food preparation, galley hygiene, baking, and butchery per- form a great service for the crew by providing 20 hour l l Lcdr. F.R. Stehly Supply Officer feeding for battle weary watch standers during gunline periods and sewing around 3,000 meals per day at sea. The men of S-3 division perform a multiplicity of tasks from cutting the crew's hair to doing their laundry and selling them ice cream. The Disbursing Clerks keep the pay records of everyone aboard ship in good order. And the Stewards cook for and serve the of- ficers ofthe wardroom in a hundred different ways.

The Administration Department is comprised of a group of highly trained individuals who must deal ef- fectively with people, ideas, and paperwork. Formally known by their shipmates as members of X Division, these yeomen, personnelmen, photographers, litho- graphers, journalists, and postal clerks perform their tasks with an enthusiasm that overcomes the mounds of paperwork and barriers in communications which all large organizations are burdened with. Their tasks are as diverse as their rating badges. Yeomen maintain important files and records, deal with legal problems, and contribute to the morale of the crew through the upkeep of the library and setting up for I40 worship services. Personnelmen work with the enlist- ed man, seeking to serve him by guidance, training, and providing the educational aides necessary for ad- vancement. Photographers, journalists, and lithographers work together as a team to provide crew members with the Boston Press, familygrams, and the ship's lively radio station, WBOS. The postal clerks' rapid handling of the mail is always appreciated by men who often go for weeks before mail reaches the ship. The Master at Arms force is charged with the always important job of enforcing Navy and shipboard regulations. Lcdr. E.N. Collins Ltjg L.N.

HOMECGMING-NCJVEMBER15,1969 Approaching the harbor, manning the rail. As you approach Boston Harbor, be proud of your sig- nificant contribution made to our war effort. The uncon- tested power and versatility of Boston enabled you to par- ticipate in Seventh Fleet Operations with the effectiveness and authority that only comes from strength. Boston's presence in the Pacific Fleet was deeply appreciated. Your return to the Atlantic and Home is well earned. Best wishes fora happy reunion with your families. Rear Admiral Freeman COMCRUDESPAC As a grand old lady weighs anchor for perhaps the last time in a long and distinguished career may fair winds and following seas go with you. Captain Bruce Keener USS Seattle Let fair winds and following seas accompany you to home port and to a joyous reunion with your families and loved ones. Although your deployment was foreshortened, the memory of the effectiveness of your guns against Charlie and intruders from the North will live on. You can take great pride in the thought that your contribution to the successes in South Vietnam have been important and sig- nificant, and well worthy of your whole hearted dedication of them. Rear Admiral Anderson CRUDESFLOT 10 Boston sees Boston 152 Scanning the crowd. Unloaded guns, loaded emotions Home atlast The crowd awaiting Boston could be seen far out in the harbor. An estimated 3000 people came to see the grand old lady dock at home for the last time and greet loved ones they had not seen for six months. The bleachers on the pier provid- ed an ideal lookout to watch the ship come home and display signs that some had made to welcome the sailors. Despite chilly winds the crowd was warm and willing to wait those last glorious moments of eager anticipation. 1 Awaiting the ship in sh'n bl k t band rendered its versioln ,of VillgIccEl?1SeLl-IrTo?1ieWvSh?ldlllt'leb1gXllQxiidlgsnpdgsailjddyalxr-?evl1:l:ldzE1,stlllofllliebeaxfekiglhogushzlolflfwe COMONE 154 The Welcome Home sign was lifted high in the air by a Crane and was visible as Boston passed the fort and rendered its Iglrte-en gun salute to COMONE.

Collins Born: August 14, 1927 Died: August 20, 1969 A kind gentle, likable man. A man dedicated to his shipmates and a friend to all. Mr. Collins served in Boston for a year as our personnel officer and administrative department head. We all miss Ed Collins. And we are a little poorer for his departure. The 69 Buoy was first borrowed from the naval base at Rodman, Canal Zone, at the start of the 1967 Viet- nam Cruise. On the return voyage that same year the Buoy was returned as Boston passed through the canal. At the outset of the 1968 Vietnam Cruise, eager Boston sailors once again hoisted the buoy aboard for its second trip half way around the world. After much work and decoration the Buoy was once again re- turned to its Navy friends in Rodman on the return voyage of the Boston's third and last Vietnam Cruise. In a brief ceremony at the Officer's Club in panama the buoy was promised a permanent resting place out- side the club where all could see its combat decora- tions.
