KENNEDY The officers and men of the U.S. S. BRAINE QDD 6301, dedicate this cruise book to our late President and Com- mander-ln-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, john Fitzgerald Kennedy, who held office from january 20, 1961, until his assas sination on November 22, 1963. gi oEPARiTjV6b Q df FEB 1 1 'Af LIBRARY X- f H ,, I X3 www, , fi My Twenty one years after her commissioning, Braine is shown knifing through the calm blue Pacific epitomizing the power, grace, speed and drive that a true destroyerman is proud to know whether at war or during peace time. lst KAMIKAZE ATTACK 27 MAY 1945 Zfld KAMIKAZE ATTACK 30 SECONDS LATER 4 YESTERDAY AND TCJDAY The keel for the USS BRAINE was laid on October 25, 1942, at the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, and she was formally launched on March 1, 1943 and commissioned on May 11, 1943. The ship was named in honor of a Civil War hero, Rear Admiral Daniel Braine, and was christened by the wife of his grandson, Mrs. D. L. Braine of Brooklyn, N. Y. BRAINE transited the Panama Canal and joined the Pacific Fleet in San Francis- co, California. I-ler record is a proud one. Cn October 5th and 6th, 1943 she par ticipated in her first combat action of World War II in the carrier raid against Wake Island. In November of the same year she participated in the initial land- ing operations at Empress Augusta Bay, Bougainville. During the next two years of the war, BRAINE saw continuous action. I-Ier fire support and screening actions were witnessed on many battle fronts , in- cluding Green Island, Rabaul I-Iarbor, Emirau Island, Tinian Island, Leyte Island, Corregidor, Bataan Peninsula, Zamboanga, and the first battle of the Philippine Seas. The BRAINE'S toll of the enemy included one enemy destroyer sunk and three aircraft shot down, with several assists. On the 27th of May, 1945, BRAINE , along with another destroyer and four small ships, was subjected to attack by four suicide aircraft. The BRAINE suffered two hits which resulted in 150 casualties, 67 of whom were killed. BRAINE returned to the states where she was de-commissioned in the Boston Naval Shipyard in 1947. She was placed in the Reserve Fleet until the out- break of the Korean War when she returned to active service with the U. S. Atlantic Fleet in April, 1951. BRAINE made two tours of duty with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean in 1952 and 1953. Upon return to the United States after her second tour in Europe, she was reassigned to the Commander-In-Chief, U. S. Pacific Fleet. With her arrival in the home port of San Diego, California, she became flag- ship for DesRon 21. Since that time BRAINE has become flagship for DesDiv 212. Since BRAINE returned to the Pacific Coast, she has participated in the evac- uation of the Tachen Islands in 19555 has acted as a convoy escort ship during the 1962 Cuban Crisis, and has completed many tours of duty in the Far East. Like all destroyers, the USS BRAINE is a versatile all-purpose man of war. Her duties consist of anti-submarine warfare, anti-aircraft protection, shore bombardment, plane guarding, escort missions, and rescue missions. To ensure freedom of the seas for all nations , the crew of the BRAINE is work- ing to prepare and assist all free people everywhere to enjoy a peaceful and fruitful life. 5 CDR R.

We entered the coral blue reefs of Chau, Hawaii, and steamed into Pearl Harbor as Aloha Week was just starting in the famous Honolulu. 25 OCT. With our stay in Hawaii near an end, we remembered this land of tropical splendor as: the bikinis and surf- boards at Waikiki Beach, Mai Tais at the original Trader Vics and International Market Place, the pink and white striped colors of Kaisers gas eating touring jeeps , the blanketed fields of green sugar cane and pineapple fields, and the hilarious monkeys at PCT. 27 OCT. Our act- ing chaplins LTJG Nelson and ENS Heim sacrificed their Holiday routine and conducted Prot- estant and Catholic services for all hands in the mess decks. 30 OCT. Today was not here, rather it was a day spent in the Twilight Zone thanks to the International Date Line with the officers serving breakfast to the crew and washing their trays. The sons of Ireland also held their annual meeting in after steering, conducted by Alexander J. Mikulski. 5 NOV. All hands shift into undress whites and fall into quarters.

Olongapo, just over the bridge from the base, offered crazy jeepney rides if you had remembered to convert your MPC into Pesos at 3. 85P to Sl, or the prospects of its natural beauty along with the good buys on monkey pod. IO NOV. In spite of Cinderella Lib- erty and the Philippine Elections , which closed down Olongapo, Qbut not the O , CPO , and EM Clubsb SAN MIGUEL was still the best in the west. Underway tomorrow for Sasebo, japan. I5 NOV. With all of our gear lashed down due to mighty rough seas, we entered Sasebo on the island of Kyushu, ready for our scheduled tender availability. Here our MPC was converted to Yen C360 Yen to SD , that is , if the one-arm-bandit's hadn't taken the MPC first. 22 NOV. , ...ww ffff ..

Y PRESIDENT QI. F. KENNEDY, our Commander-In-Chief, was assassinated as announced to us by the Armed Forces Radio Broad- cast. Every one in Sasebo mourned the loss of this Great President, and Memorial Services were scheduled. 26 NOV. With BRAINE'S Tours Inc. , directed by the memorable I-Iokimoto, we saw the famous oyster beds and pearl farms, the fac- tory which manufactures delicate Fukagawa China. A day at Nagasaki took us to such historic 'scenes as the Peace Monument, Madam Butterfly's l-Iome, WW II Ground Zero , and various Jap- anese shrines. 28 NOV. TI-IANKSGIVING DAY. After church services., the crew enjoyed the best meal they'd had so far in WestPac. Later some of us went bike riding and discovered many new muscles while touring the beautiful, but hilly terrain surrounding Sasebo, others went shopping at Sasebo's many intriguingshopsg while still others explored the fascinating novelties offered in Thieves Alley including the many stand bars. 3 DEC. While preparing to get under- way for Taiwan, we bid Sayonara to japan, her Asahi's and the wonderful l-Iottsie Baths for which japan is famous. 6 DEC. For the salts that had been there, the familiar odor of Kaohsiung, Taiwan drifted in the air as we stood into the harbor ready to relieve DesDiv 211 for six grueling weeks on the Formosa Patrol. During the chaotic relief at our buoy, herds of merchantmen came out to us in fleets of Bum Boats and boarded, or at least tried to board us wherever possible. Meanwhile the OOD and his watch were frantically trying to bong the brass on and off the ship. After relieving 211, and holding a general field day, we hailed Kaohsiung's only water taxi and went into town, with its twenty nine drinking establishments in addition to the O , EM, and KRC Clubs. 10 DEC. We left Kaohsiung to start our patrol in the rough straits near the Communist China mainland. With condition three set, the gentle deep blue seas changed into salty green whitecaps as the bow plunged into the huge troughs and gigantic waves crashed above the pilot house. Most of the crew just gave up trying to eat until things calmed down a little. 15 DEC. Back in Kaohsiung we took a tour to Tainan, thirty miles north of Kaohsiung and saw the tall sugar cane fields, rice paddies with the familiar farmer working My ffflo, 3... ix YW, L, A x V f , . ,... 1 N77 Fw ., . w .

An all hands wetting down party was held on the port side of the quarterdeck for all those who advanced in rank, including officers. The XO even decided to join the party. 19 DEC. While on patrol, with winds up to 50 knots and 12 foot waves, type- writers and every other available missle hazard suddenly flew through the air as the BRAINE recorded her first and next to last 45 degree roll of the cruise. 25 DEC. CHRISTMAS DAY IN KAOI-ISIUNG. Our ship's party was being held at Nancy's I-Iarbor Hotel where everyones spirits were pretty high, even though it wasn't like Christmas at home. To spread the good tidings of the yule tide season through the city of Kaohsiung we formed a group and went caroling. On our return to the ship, we saw the unforgettable BRAINE decked out with a colored array of dress ship lights as well as the highly decorative christmas tree atop mount 52 and Santa Claus F vi. t.i5 , . l Q, g 3 ' - ,,,, f 2 f .

After the last six days at sea chasing a couple of evading merchant ships and standing the tiresome con- dition three watches, we pulled into port, having had a most quiet New Years Eve at sea. Al- though it still was New Years Eve in America Shima, most of us decided to help bring in the New Year back home by hopping on the masses of pedi-cabs and gathering at the EM Club to have a few or more toasts to Auld Lang Syne. 5 JAN. A tour to Pi Pieg Lake in the distant mountains from Kaohsiung brought us to a Taiwanese Aborigine Village. The people, being quite ritualistic, gave us the opportunity to share in their native customs and actually take part in their rhythmic tribal dances. After a day well spent, we returned to the ship only to stay up most of the night in preparation for tomorrows Captain's inspection. 12 JAN. This is the last day of our rolling and pitching Formosa Patrol, the condition three watches , and probably the last time through the T. V. re-runs for our nightly movies, because DesDiv ll is waiting to relieve us. As we pull into the smallest, most crowded harbor in the world, we pass the halfway sunken merchant vessel, the over-crowded, port listing, passenger ferries, the fish- ing junks Cone-lungersy , and the infant san-pan divers diving for any denomination of money, realizing that this stay will be remembered for quite some time. 15 JAN. To commemorate our stay in Kaohsiung, Chief Cargle, an ex-crew member of the BRAINE held a 5 NTS QS. 15 USD night at Nancys. I think the whole crew must have been there for this memorable sendoff. Also today, we presented as a good will gesture, a S300 scholarship to Mr. Chow Tsaw Mo, a dental student at Kaoshiung Medical College. Other goodbyes were said to the Mayor of the city and the Foreign Affairs Police QFAPJ with whom we worked quite often. 16 JAN. With our official relief by DesDiv 11 we wished them a happy condition three watch and lots of crypto. Standing out of the harbor we bid farewell to Taiwan, home of the most beautiful women in WestPac, and our last memory was the green water taxi escorting us out of the harbor with the S +4 f crew in their BRAINE caps, shooting a multitude of fireworks for our safe journey. After dodging many a fleet of fishing boats and their undisclosed nets, we entered the ultra-modern Victoria Bay in the British Crown Colony of I-long Kong. While mooring we were showered with pamphlets from just about every establishment within ten miles, revealing Hong Kong's exotic atmosphere during our awaiting week of R and R. 19 JAN. After converting our money into HKSQ5. 68 HKS to ISUSD and hailing a water taxi QWalla Wallal to Fenwick Pier, we all sought to take advantage of the many bargains that soon would fill up our magazines. Items of main interest were the tailor made clothes, tailor made shoes, and complete stereo sets. 22 JAN. The scenic sights of Hong Kong Bay, Kowloon and its surrounding New Territories, Victoria .J 4--SM Peak, Tiger Balm Gardens , the floating village of Aberdeen and expensive Repulse Bay will long be remembered, as will the World of Suzie Wong, Hilton Den and the Kings Grill. QI say there ole chap, Hats off to the Lymey's! J 27 JAN. After four G. Q. 's and plenty of stack gas since I-long Kong, we pulled into the crowded bay of Yokosuka, japan, mooring alongside the oldest oiler in the fleet QUSS CIMARROND and just across from COMSEVENTI-IFLT in the USS PROVIDENCE. 2 FEB. A tour to Tokyo, home of the 1964 World Olympics and largest city in the world, revealed to us a View of the famous Tokyo Tower, the colorful illuminated Ginza, and many modern buildings like those of our famous city of New York. That night, we enjoyed a japanese style Sukiyaki dinner as we were entertained with a 300 girl show at the Kocopa Theater. Some of the crew even managed to see a most confusing, but dramatic Kabuki play. 7 FEB. A japanese train ride was a must on our list of experiences to be tried. Board- ing the train at Yokosuka, it sped off in the direction of Kamakura , where the famous Buddha over looks the town. The train was crowded but very interesting because of the most friendly people. japan has many train rides that run every fifteen minutes and on many different tracks at the same terminal, so the lesson to be learned is to make sure that you get on the right train. Its quite an experience. 14 FEB. Almost finished with a badly needed availability, we again started to look good. Today Moats Inc. , received all of our A-33 purchases and the smallest spaces were almost too full already, but you can't beat his credit. One of the novelties in Yokosuka was the French T. V. juke boxes that showed a movie to the record selection that you made with 10 Yen. 16 FEB. After a four hour train ride and trying to snap a few pictures of Mt. Fuji, some of our officers ended up in a small town named Gotemba at the base of the mountain. After meeting some marines based at Camp Fuji, it seems as though they took a ride on the city's local fire engines. l9 FEB. Into the second day of ASW exercises, we were ff ' i S. 2 . rw 6 fi S, is f ' MQW :wi 1. , 5,1 ., . 4, i 4 , .

We did alright, but right after we finished, a cold snow-filled fog bank slowly closed us in, and the long johns were soon broken out in order to stand our watches. 23 FEB. With our work finished in ASW, we pulled in Beppu, japan, a famous resort area noted for its natural hot springs and the beautiful snow capped mountains surrounding the city. Since we were anchored out in the bay, getting ashore was somewhat of a problem for the crew, especially after the gigs started to breakdown due to their continuous running to the beach. While we were there, the mayor of Beppu called on us and toured the ship The people of Beppu were very friendly to the BRAINE and made the liberty worth our while. V, ,, ...12K23,,37,,ff,' . - , ' 26 FEB. Four hours into G. Q. for a practice battle problem and four more to go, battle ra- tions were served which introduced us to one of our best lunches yet on this cruise. 27 FEB. With a 12 foot rooster tail and 34 knots, our four hour full power run was on and our return to Subic was drawing nearer. 28 FEB. Our frustrated supply officer had jammed his money safe closed with only two days to go till pay day. CAgain?D 3 MARCH After successfully opening the safe, getting paid, and having a few of those good ole SAN MIGUELS , we steamed south of Subic Bay with the USS BON HOMME RICHARD and two destroyers for a turn at plane guard- ing. 12 MARCH Still plane guarding. The weather was very hot, with the water temperature being near 80 degrees. This offered quite a change from the cold climate of japan. Our water hours were now in effect. 14 MARCH After many days of plane guarding and watching movies over and over, we pulled into Subic Bay along with about twenty other ships from a joint allied fleet exercise off the coast of Taiwan. 22 MARCH With our trip to Sasebo cancelled we stayed in Subic for a week of general upkeep. We took a tour to Manila, through the rough roads in the dense green jungle of the tropical Philippines, only to arrive at one of the most beautiful cities on the cruise. Manila was quite historic with its memorials from World War ll , and a Spanish influence was quite evident. However, our thirsty and long awaited desire to see the Ole San Miguel Brewery was cancelled because it was Sunday today. At the USO in Manila, we saw George Montgomery and his assorted female stars making a few scenes for his next movie, Gorillas in Pink Lace . It should be a very good movie.

The ship has to be cleaned up for San Diego so we turned to chipping and painting just about everything that could be chipped and painted. 28 MARCH Hol- iday Routine. Many last minute purchases had to be made in Naha, Okinawa, an air force base, before our return due to the last chance at WestPac prices.

Early this morning we pulled back into port, no damage, no wave. I I if Church services were held on the USS CARRITUK for all hands to attend. 30 MARCH With if' p everything chipped and painted and looking brand new, we were underway for American Shima I r with DesFlot Nine via Pearl Harbor. 6 APRIL Two days after crossing the International Date ' Line. Since our departure we had conducted highline transfer after highline transfer to under- ' go an ORI inspection. Cur newly painted ship was not new any more. The waves continued to crash our bow as we charged home anxiously. 9 APRIL Our fuel was low, but Oahu was in It it ll sight so we entered Pearl Harbor for our last stop before San Diego. l0 APRIL, Aloha to WestPac, tis homeward bound we be. Most of-the crew are counting the days until our return l 9 lj. but a few of the crew are also counting the days until our return to WestPac. I guess thats l just a sailor's life, you can't please all of them all of the time. As we leave, the land of Hawaii Q sinks slowly in the West. Now the preparations begin for our entering port in San Diego by I? cleaning up the ship in all spaces so that liberty will be as lenient as can be. 16 APRIL The hour draws nearer as we clean up the ship.

FIRST DIVISION First Division is responsible for all of the evolutions involving the art of deck seamanship. At the crack of dawn they start sweeping, swabing, chipping, preserving, and maintaining all the weatherdecks and topside spaces. They also stand Bos'n Mate, lookout and messen- ger watches on the bridge, and in the fog they station a fog lookout to insure safety to the crew. In between watches they may be expected to carry out some of the special evolutions such as refueling at sea, mail transfer by helo, boat transfers, personnel transfers by highline and anchor details. Whether at sea or in port, First Division spends many long hard hours and elbow grease keeping the Braine looking her best with their seamanship skills ,,,.m,,,,,,i,u,,,......A.,,,,,: ,,,, Y wwmxxmxwmwww- wwffwmwwxs, ANNEX:-'w-,, vNwww x,f ,, , dx m Xeiii, I i1f.g:SQi,,y Q 5, sg M X , 'NN' ,Xxx J WW 1 tN.M42 Z? f A: A K , 15 .-. 4.W?,?, , f Wa -::,, -W 'Q -f -- -:six ' V -V46-.X Q SW, . ,,iWX,-fx ' M swf ' W, V, f , W W X V H 1 W ' f 1 ff f M WF V , my K .I X X Ni Xxxx V , 523 x ,wtf yr, f fi X fu W N X .' fm'-MW ,Mb I CAA M, xr V2 W 1 ,f ,ff -W G f Uf S ,I A Y, .X.x W S f y ,, X ' ff f ,yy X, ff W, N.. ggf ,, N 2 ' , ', 'rx ' , x fff , Q J, 1 4.

REPAIR DIVISION R Division combines their many skills to make all of the emergency and necessary repai1'S aboard the Braine. These repairs are done by Machinery Repairmen, Shipfitters, Internal Communicationmen, Electricians, Damage Controlmen, Machinist Mates, and Enginemen- Some of their work involves welding, maintenance of electric power units, refrigeration, diesel engines, hydraulic systems, internal phone circuits, and mainly just helping to keep the ship afloat and operational. No matter how hard a job might be for R Division, they C811 usually repair it by using the combination of their many different and versatile rates and just plain hard Work. 38 x xx iw X x.

SUPPLY DIVISION S Division with its Shipservicemen, Storekeepers, Disbursing Clerks, Commissarymen, and Stewards are able to provide the ship with the parts for repair, money to spend food to eat, and clean clothes to wear. Whatever the ship receives onboard has usuall been Y procured through S Division. With the ships store in operation, you can usually buy anything from diamond rings to pigs feet and homemade pickled eggs. At the crack of dawn the air is filled with the fresh rolls aroma from the ships baker. The rest of the day in Supply is spent sorting 1150's and adjusting inventories from the large files of ledgers but pa day . Y is the day the crew knows which division helps to build their morale.

They also stand top Watches , CIC Watches , and the long quarterdeck Watches in port. In add- ition to all this , they have upheld a very proud record in all departments and added many different colored E's to Braines appearance for her outstanding achievements. 45 X ,W,f::.fiqQ1fs?w wg,f-f14w39i,vA1,Y,?1 , Wjjfxfww, ,X X- ff ,QM , , x , M, fwmffmesiv V ff 1 , 53:51-if 'k5.f4egq.3S5yM5 x ,wwmgf ligzrfr ,ixgl vb gi!
