Butte (AE 27) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1972 volume:

ss SHIP'S INSIGNIA The dominant figure of the insignia is a sil- houette representing a modern ammunition ship. The silhouetted helicopter represents our vertical replenishment capability. The butte in the back- ground is emblematic of our name and relation with Butte, Montana. The chain which encloses the plaque is symbolic of our vital link with the combatant forces and BUTTE’s capability of ammun- ition delivery around the world. The four stars in the bottom half of the circle represents BUTTE’s administrative assignment to Commander, Service Squadron FOUR; the two above, her primary assignment under the operational control of Com- mander, SECOND Fleet. The total of six stars is emblematic of her primary area of deployment, the Mediterranean, under the operational control of Commander, SIXTH Fleet. The color scheme is elementary. Red is indica- tive of the ever present danger in handling explo- sive materials. Yellow is symbolic of the caution used in handling ammunition and of BUTTE’s ability to be on any horizon for delivery to the fleet. Blue represents the sea.

Her mission is to deliver missiles and ammunition to units of the fleet at sea, providing the bombs, projectiles, missiles, torpedoes, mines and other expendable ordnance required by the Navy’s combatant ships to fight the enemy from the sea and with the aircraft of our carriers. This role is based on the concept of seapower devel- oped seventy-five years ago by the American Naval strategist and historian, Alfred Thayer Mahan. Mahan defined seapower as the ability to transport men and supplies across the world’s oceans freely, control of the sea when access is opposed by other nations, and the denial of the use of the sea by enemies. The era of the space age has not diminished the importance of seapower or its value as an intellectual force. Today 97% of all the world’s trade moves on the sea. The sea still remains the only means in our present state of technology of projecting the power of many men and much material to other continents, linking the United States to the rest of the Free World. In the event of war the importance of the sea is readily apparent. Ships, because of their mobility, are not the accessible targets that shore bases are. But be- cause of the Navy’s freedom to travel these vast sea The most recent developments in ammuni- tion and missile transfer systems are incorpor- ated in the BUTTE. This system, which uses a ram tension wire between ships, is called STREAM. STREAM rigs will be utilized to transfer ammunition of all sorts to two ships alongside simultaneously, up to speeds of 20 knots. The hazards involved in such an evolution are readily apparant when it is realized that the ship on cither side of BUTTE is often less than one hundred fifty feet from BUTTE during rearm- ing operations. Vertical replenishment capabili- ties arc provided by two cargo helicopters which will take off with a load of ammunition, de- posit it on a ship to be replenished, and re- turn for yet another load. With a full load displacement of 18,000 tons, BUTTE has the size, speed and capability to safely rearm four ships simultaneously, thus providing an urgently required contribution to the logistic support of the fleet. A self-defense capability is provided by four twin 3” 50 dual purpose gun mounts and associated fire control equipment. roads and its ability to range close to the enemy, attack becomes more accurate, and weight is added to its offensive powers. USS BUTTE, because she is infact a floating ammunition depot, eliminates much of the Navy’s dependence on shore bases. In order to rearm themselves, the Navy’s combatant ships need not risk the danger of relying on unmovable shore de- pots. The BUTTE will be out at sea, equipped with the latest and fastest meth- ods of underway replenishment, so that ships can get their needed ammunition “on the line’’ or at prearranged rendez- vous points to disperse themselves as quick- ly as possible. 3 CAPTAIN WILLIAM L. RIGOT USN COMMANDING OFFICER After being designated as a qualified Submarine Officer, Captain RIGOT was awarded the coveted Golden Dolphins of the Submarine Force in 1951.
