try BTFA Mark Chapman, above, about to snap a photograph for Bow- en s 1987 Mediterra- nean Cruisebook. ? 1V USS BOWEM ' S 1987 Mediterranean Cruise- book was published by Walsworth Publishing Company, Incorporated, Marceline, Missouri 64658. The company ' s East Coast Director, and Bowens Sales Represen- tative, is Mr. Barry Brown, 5659 East Virginia Beach Boulevard, Piorfolk, Virgin- ia 23502. The book is 80 pages long, including 16 four col- or pages. Press run was 220 copies. One hundred ninety crew members pur- chased the book at a cost of $15 each, with the re- mainder of the actual pro- duction cost funded by the ships Welfare and Recrea- tion Committee. The cover material is a brown leathertone moun- ted on extra heavy, 150 point binder ' s board. The embossed cover and spine combines hot foil stam- ping with a metalgloss ship ' s seal from an exist- ing die made for the ship ' s 1985 Mediterranean Crui- sebook. The seal and all cover and spine lettering, including individual names, are in brite gold. The front and back inside cover maps are standard four color printed end- sheets. The cruisebook features Smyth section sewing. Hallmark crease binding and enamel and matte pa- pers stock. Typesetting was done on a Walcomp Electronic Typesetter. All headlines, captions, copy and page numbers are set in Benguiat typeface, rang- ing in size from 6-72 point. Sunflower spot color appears on page 1; Royal Blue spot color is used on page 17. With the exception of a navy Times photographer who briefly rode the ship during the deployment, all photographs were taken by BOWED crew members. Photographs which ap- pear in color on pages 1- 16, include the photogra- pher ' s name. I am particularly grateful to QMM3 Brown, IC3 Bry- son, FC2 Christopher, MM5 Clarke, FC3 David- son, RMSn Frank, NCI Gill, QMSA Imel, STQ2 John- son, FN McCauley, EPiS Paul, HMC Quarm, SFi Ro- man, LTJQ Simensen, LT Sotherland and SK3 Whit- ing for the quality and vol- ume of photographs they provided for the book. The individual photo- graphs of crew members which appear on pages 54- 77 were taken aboard the ship on three different days one week prior to the deployment. Because some crew members were unable to attend one of those photo sessions, and others had yet to report aboard, the Cruisebook does not include photo- graphs of everyone who was assigned to the ship for some or all of the de- ployment. I regret that there is no way to prevent this. There are several other individuals who contribut- ed their time, energy and skills to BOWEM ' S 1987 Cruisebook. They are: YMl Boer, Pnsri Carrigan, EPiS Collins, ENS Moses, YPiSA Spurrier, PPiC Weaver, PFiSR Westmoreland, LT Zanti and LT Zavodny. The cruisebook will be entered in the navy ' s an- nual CmnFO Merit Awards Competition, described in OPnAVinST 5780.2A, un- der category R — cruise- books from small com- mands (less than 500 peo- ple). - LT Jeff Knight Editor ET3 Mien Chastain, left, on the ship ' s antenna deck during a squirrel team drill. ET3 Chastain is one of appro.ximately 12 mem- bers of the BOWEM ' S squirrel team, which is designed to pro- tect the ship from attack by small craft. Below, PC3 Doug Clark and ET2 John Domnissey huddle against the cold in the Electronics Tech- nician s shop. The workshop is kept cool by airconditioning units so that the sophisticated elec- tronic gear in the shop will not overheat. V : I A.
