KNAAK, USNR EXECUTIVE 0FFICER'S BIOGRAPHY LCDR Knaak earned his commission as an Ensign, U,,S. Naval Reserve by receiving a direct appointment from the enlisted status following graduation from Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois in 1949, after having served three and a half years during World War Il as an Aviation Machinist Mate First Class. After his initial commissioned assignment during the Korean War as Personnel Officer of FASRON 102, he returned to civilian life until 1956 at which time he returned to active duty as a line officer with the assignment as Division Gunnery Officer of the USS ST, PAUL CCA-731 and later Operations Officer, USS BEN- NER fDDR-8055. Following this he became Recruiting and Procurement Officer, U,S, Naval Recruiting Station, Denver, Colorado followed by a tour as First Lieutenant of the USS ASHTABULA KAO-51.1 Prior to reporting to the CACAPON, he was in the real estate busi-. ness and is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of California. He is married to the former Edna P, fBrownie9 Head of Texarkana, Texas. The USS CACAPON QAO-527 was commissioned September 21, 1943, by LCDR George Eyth, DM. USNR. the first Commanding Officer. The CACAPON is named after the Cacapon River in West Virginia. She is a twin screw, geared turbine propelled tanker. Her designers were part of the U.S. Maritime Commission who had the idea in mind to build large fast tankers suitable for naval operation during war- time. endin 22 months supporting the Fifth Fleet The CACAPON lived up to her purpose, sp g units in their raids against the Gilbert Islands. She refueled some 600 naval vessels, dis- charging 2.100.000 barrels of fuel oil, 134,000 barrels of diesel oil, and 5,824,000 gallons of aviation gasoline. ' ' th A tarctic waters with Admiral In 1947, the CACAPON spent 10 weeks operating in e n Byrd's famous expedition. She steamed about 20,000 miles total from the beginning of Oper ation Highjump until its end on 1 March, 1947. f J he - A um1 . ... ,- v .1 :x Ammmm,,mM.1m,i . X 3 . 3 1 1 s K E ll , ,, . , .,,., .,... . -...MN From 1950 to 1953, the duration of the Korean Conflict , the CACAPON made 5 tours - off the coast of Korea in the combat zone. She established her eligibility to wear 8 of the total 9 engagement stars authorized since the start of Korean hostilities. Captain Becker, Commanding Officer of the Cac in 1953, brought to new life the sym- bolic house flag of a black rooster, which now flies over the ship at the end of each unrep. This accompanied with our notorious slogan Find em, Fuel em, Forget em. In the time since commissioning, the CACAPON has had at least 3 major million dol- lar overhauls. She is being modernized as quickly as new ideas and practices are put to use. The CACAPCN has pulled into every liberty port within reach of the Pacific Ccean. She proudly wears the big E Battle Efficiency award, reminding all that she still has the prow- ess, capability, and loyalty to meet all her commitments each new year. c-.E f 'F , N X Xxx n '?lNfP' 'iW N rum.

Auwen, First Lieutenant DEG? bEI7'fMC'N'f How does one describe that certain group of men who, no matter what time of day or night, or weather condition, can be found doing the less glamorous but very im- portant jobs that make the C ac the great ship that she is? This group of men can best be identified by their paint-splattered dungarees and the casual way in which they handle a swab. They can be found chipping out bulkheads, painting the sides, or doing just about any other task that calls for a man who isn't afraid to get dirty. They are the fellows you see manning the winches and the messenager lines during the long hours of UNREPS. No matter what little chore they are doing, they all come under the proverbial heading of deck apes. Although they sometimes get mad at you for calling them that, you can't help but get the feeling that deep down they wear the title with pride and a feeling of accomplishment, for after all, the only reward they sometimes receive is that nice feeling of self-satisfaction. A I tl D! All stations fall in, standby to recieve. . . ll f xxx X ZQ?3Ag 5 ,gg WVR Z, A deok ape is all brawn and no brain huh? Well buddy, you oouldn't be further from the truth. as the men in the FIRST DIVISION prove every day. True, there are a lot of sweep and swab-downs and red-leading, as a look at any of the division's cleaning spaces will show, but a bos'n must have a head on his shoulders also. For such jobs as manning the ship's helm, helo-details, and bouy parties, a man needs a very sharp and alert mind. He must know all about fire fighting, damage control, first aid, and a host of other im portant jobs. The men of FIRST DIVISION must not only know their own individual duties but they must have a working knowledge of every other job around them. All brawn ha ha' I sw ept it all under the rug!

SECOND DlVISION's responsibilities start from the mainmast aft to the fantail and from the top of the stack of the ship's six fuel rigs and the port and starboard hi- i lines. Just about every time the CACAPON has a ship alongside at least one, and usually more of the division's stations are over. As any man can tell youg the work is y V hard and during long periods of UNREPing there is little time for the luxury of sleep. Eating sometimes consists V Q of a cup of soup and some crackers. When they are not ' refueling ships, there is gear to be restowed, deck cargo Toof s 'Lu down to the bottom of the waterline.

Yes, these sharpshooters, after long hours of practice through trial and error, become the CACAPON'S finest shotline gunner, who are responsible for sending over the very first line to a ship alongside. But there is more to a gunner's job than just doing that. They spend many long hours rewinding shotline thread and stacking the spent brass that the CACAPON receives from the various ships off Viet Nam. And have you ever tried to keep a 3 f5O in good firing order when it is constantly being soaked by salt spray during heavy seas? It is a Job and a half but the powder heads in THIRD DIVISION manage it like a piece of cake Hey Haberman, is the bore clear? I wonder if he wants me to polish the inside too?

Riedel ENS H, Thompson OPERATIONS OFFICER COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER Under the heading of OPERATIONS, comes a whole list of jobs that are essential in maintaining a proper operating schedule. One is that of the Hospital Corpsmen in sick- bay. They have the important responsibility of keep- ing the health of each crewman up to par. They also inspect the ship to insure that proper sanitation pro- ceedures are used at all times. On the CACAPON they also handle everything from setting broken legs and sewing up cuts, to administering shots. The ship's office is where the Yeomen and Per- sonnelmen handle all of the ship's paperwork and keep each member of the crew's file up to date. Dear to each sailor's heart is the Cac's small, but busy, post office, their only touch with home. The Postal Clerks are not only kept jumping with our own mail, but that of quite a few other ships. Due to the CACAPON'S manner of frequently enter- ing port we also receive and deliver the mail for the ships of the 7th Fleet off the coast of Viet Nam. When a ship is visible on the horizon it is the job of the Signalmen to establish contact with it. The method of communication is by either flashing light, signal flags, or if close enough, by semaphore. Sir, we have a contact, designated skunk alfa bearing zero niner five, range twelve miles! After a few moments, further information is relayed such as speed. closest point of approach time and bearing. Just about the only thing that a Radarman can't tell you is the color. When the CACAPON is at sea the Combat Information Center is manned around the clock. The men behind it are the eyes of the ship. and nothing must get past them that could be a hazard. whether it be an island. an aircraft, or another ship. Every blip on the screen must be tracked, plot- ted, and then reported to the Officer of the Deck on the bridge. The Radar and Radioman's best friend is the Electronic Technician. These educated babysitters must keep a c stant vigil on the radio and radar equip- ment. One blown tube or short circuit could delay or possibly jeopardize an important mission due to a breakdown in the ship's vision or communications. Because of the danger of this very thing happening, all electronic equipment is regularly inspected and when it is found defective, the ET's are repairing it no matter what the hour. Only a select number of people are allowed on the other side of the closed door of the Radio Shack. Inside, a visi- tor would be confused by all the knobs, buttons, and dials that make up the tools of the Radioman's trade. The bulkheads are covered with intricate wiring that would take what seems like forever to trace. The visitor might be bewildered by this com- plex array of communications equip- ment, but to the Radiomen it all has a meaning and whether it be operating the teletype or sending code, they do it with self-confidence and a knowl- edge that they are the CACAPON's only link with the outside world.

The E distinguished CACAPON as the best oiler of her class in the Pacific Fleet. Only by virtue of her excellent crew has CACAPON been able to attain a record of having made all her commitments without breakdowns. Her underway replenishment capability is the foundation upon which the mobility of the 7th Fleet relies. The CACAPON creed is: Mo- bility for Power...Power for Peace. 1-fr Once every month, two men are selected out of the crew for recognition and reward for being the best non-rated man and pettyofficer of that month. These men are chosen because of their outstanding leadership abilities and willingness to put forth more than what is required of them. Being squared away in appearance. having a clean record, and good military discipline are also very important factois taken into consideration when picking the men for this award. These men are among the CACAPON'S finest!

A Navy ship that runs out of fuel at sea dies. It becomes a derelict, hazard to friend and enemy. Even what the Navy calls a low fuel state can remove a ship from a fight as quickly as a round from an enemy gun. Low fuel forces a ship to slow down and reduce its activity. In combat a ship running low on fuel must withdraw. A To the crews of Seventh Fleet Service Force oilers off the coast of Vietnam falls the task of assuring that this never happens. They do this by underway replenishment, UNREP for short. Like all night gas sta- tions, these oilers are always open for business. Their customers are the Navy carriers, destroyers, cruisers, minesweepers, and transports plying the Vietnamese waters from the Gulf of Tonkin off North Vietnam southward to the Mekong Delta. There are few regular hours aboard these oilers. Their customers have their jobs to do, be it patrol, search and rescue, or gunfire support, and refueling is something they do when they can find time. So the oilers wait. Customers arrive at all hours and none are turned away. It's called unreps of opportunity. In the Gulf of Tonkin however, where ships manning the vital Yankee Station are more likely to remain in a given area, fuel replenishments are on a more regular schedule. Work begins shortly after an oiler announces its availability for business. Ships in the area let the oiler know their particular require- ments for fuel by message if there is time, or by flashing light as they approach the oiler. As soon as the oiler has its customer alongside, the unrep procedure starts. A line is shot from a special gun to the receiving ship. That line is attached to a larger one which is in turn connected to a cable on which refueling hoses will ride like trolleys. Once the cables are secured from the oiler to the other ship, the tentacle-like hoses suspended high above the oiler's decks on booms are drawn across and connected to the other ship's fuel tanks. On a signal, the oiler starts pumping until the customer has had its fill. The oiler usually has two ships along side at once, one to each side. While refueling operations are in progress, other activities between the two ships are taking place also. Freight and supplies are transferred and if necessary, another type of rig is set up to transfer personnel. All the while, the two ships are steaming side by side through calm or stormy seas. And sleep? It is much sought after, but seldom gotten by the crew at times like these. They grab it when and where they can, some might even make it to their racks, but not for long you can be certain.

ALL HANDS NOT ACTUALLY ON WATCH OR AT UNREP STATIONS, LAY TO THE AFTER CARGO DECK TO HANDLE EMPTY BRASS, This call goes whenever the CACAPON receives a ship that has been shelling the coast of Viet Nam. Besides receiving fuel from us many ships also unload their empty shells onto us. This is a task that calls for every available member of the crew. Like clockwork, as soon as a cargo-net full of brass is hi- lined to us it is unloaded one by one and sent by human chain to the stacking areas, where it is piled in every possible space and secured for sea. What happens when a hose breaks There are times when a ship along- side is plagued with other difficulties be- sides heavy seas and broken hoses, such as loss of steering control. This is what happened when the CACAPON was side- swiped by a minesweeper, the GUIDE, MSO 447.

AND A THIRD TIME: --The rest of our Task Group could use some of CACAPON'S reliability. FROM COMMANDER SERVICE GROUP ONE: Welcome home after a well-done job of supplying outstanding service to ships of the Seventh Fleet, the officers and men are to be congratulated. May you have a pleasant leave and upkeep with families and friends. X W Q, f xt WI If 'ix fx if -i gx QE X U 93. ffl KM ff f 3 I - 1 . One of the first things a sailor notices when he is in Olongapo are the monkey meat vendors. They are us- ually small stands that are run by little old ladies or by young girls. Although they really sell pork or hot dogs barbequed on a stick, some- how through the years the story got started that they were selling monkey meat. Maybe it's because one can't tell by looking at it what it is. Somewhere there is an edict that states that you are not a true 'WESPAC sailor until you develop a taste for this delicacy. Even though quite a number of Cac sailors eat it, no one has gotten sick from it. , ..i-.MQ 1, - I mir?-'f if-2,42-aww? , X2 M :i,!iQZ5gqff,y?Zf 2 0: 1.1-QAM 'f ...itavyxgyfa , yy yy 4 if . . ' The CACAPON'S home away from home in WESPAC is the Naval Supply Depot at Subic Bay in the Philippines. Right outside the base's main gate and across a small river is Olongapo. Although the base has plenty of recreation facilities of its own, most sailors go into the village, Olongapo is the Far East's version of Tiajuana and most of the town's inhabitants have geared their lives toward making a Peso, honestly or otherwise, off the unsuspecting swab- jockey. The town's on-limits area is the main street, all side streets being strictly barred and vigilantly guarded by the Shore Patrol. In Olongapo the main mode of transportation for sailor and resident alike are the jeepnies,' which are Jeeps that have been brightly painted with exotic de- signs. There are no traffic-cops or stop lights so everyone drives recklessly. The fare is fifteen centovos, no matter what the destination, but for a sailor, especially one in uniform, one Peso is the price. The Village has its share of friendly females and every sail- or has a girlfriend fand every girlfriend has six sailorsl. Lit- erally every bar and club, no matter what its size, has a crew of young hostesses that for the cost of an overpriced '7up will turn on with such questions as You got girlfriend in the States ? , Because of the lan- guage barrier some of the girls are lousy conversationalists, still, they have a natural rhythm and talent for dancing, so the Village is where you usually find yourself. These girls have a slight build and a curiosity that reminds you of a schoolgirl, but underneath they are clever, and nobody's fool. Olongapo has plenty of entertainment too. The main street is lined with a multi- tude of bars and nightclubs that range from small holes in-the-wall to big, elaborate extr av aganz as that include some good bands and really different floor shows. The drinks are priced to satisfy everyone's budget and in the better clubs they taste pretty good. American beer is a rarity but the local brew is a passable substitute as long as you remember that drink- ing too much of it can pro- duce embarrassing side ef- fects. During World War ll the islands were the scene of many battles be- tween the Americans and the Japa- nese. Now, twenty three years later there are still many vivid reminders of the war. Along the beaches and the strategic waterways one can see the old gun enplacements like the Concrete Battleship qElfraile Fortressj at the entrance of Manila Bay. Hong Kong is the Pearl of the Orient and nobody knows it better than the crew of the CACAPON who visited twice, The British Crown Colony is an open port which means that anything purchased there has entered the colony duty free. This makes the city the shopping capital of the world, The area consists of Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories, There are over 3,700,000 people packed in these three areas. f In Japan flowers grow every- where in profusion. To the Japanese, flowers have special meanings g for ex- ample the cherry blossom is 'associ- ated with life and the chrys anthemum with royalty. The Japanese enjoy their flowers so much that they often name their daughters after them. They also hold festivals in honor of flowers and decorate their homes with them in every season but mid- winter. A country the crew of the CACAPON will long remember is Japan where they visited Sasebo and Yokosuka. Part of Japan's charm is its mixture of the old and new. Although it is Asia's most modern nation Japan has re- tained much of the traditional. The crew saw many graceful temples and shrines like the Dia-butsu fGreat Buddhay, shown at left, seen while on a tour to Kamakura. The ship also sponsored tours to Tokyo, where the crew sampled the night life, and to Nagasaki, where they visited the Peace Park, a shrine to the people who perished when an atomic-bomb was dropped on the city during World War II. Many of the Japanese customs seemed odd to the crew, such as taking one's shoes off before entering their house. Also quite different is the custom of bowing instead of shaking hands when greeting another. As in Hong Kong, shopping in Japan was an adventure. The huge department stores found in the large cities were fascinating. More than mere department stores, they were actually cultural centers that dis- played everything from priceless artworks to toys and novelties. The Cac sailors were dazzled by the shops selling such items as china- ware, cameras, and beautiful fab- rics. Most of the crew found them- selves wanting to buy more than they could afford.

Sasebo seen from the top of a hill. Caohsiung, Formosa is a port that every ship in the Seventh Fleet would like to stop at. This is because the prices are very low and the girls are plentiful. This little island is only one hundred miles from the Red Chinese mainland, so the port city is heavily fortified against attack. Because Formosa does not recognize the copyright laws of other nations you can buy an exact copy of an expen- sive book or record album very cheaply. This is of course illegal, is is ag For the crew, after the long voyage from the Philippines, the three day stop-over at Pearl Har- bor, Hawaii was like medicine. For a sailor just back from many months in WESPAC, it felt so nice to Walk among Americans again. It was also the first chance he had to taste real Amer- ican food. Most of the men visited Honolulu and famous Waikiki Beach where they relaxed and took life easy. The USS Arizona Memorial, below, enshrines the famous battleship sunk by the Japanese during their attack on Pearl Harbor. The memorial is inscribed with the names of the 1177 men who went down with the ship. Q i N 'a f I I L f x X i ,WM Y .... ,,,,,, , .. .. ,. !,QpQ'g 'L53xf,iW' Q!

The fleet oiler PLATTE and the aircraft carrier KITTY HAWK collided while refueling causing considerable damage to PLATTE. The stack was crumbled and pushed to the other side, and both the port and star- board kingposts were badly bent to star- board. The boom on station 48 was bent over to form a V, but miraculously no- body on either ship was injured. , -- wyjfq ,210 Ska? MOMENTS tot THOUGHT With little time of his own The seagoing sailor takes moments for thoughts of home. In late afternoon on deck he may stand With thoughts and memories of his beloved land. Into the setting sun he doth peer Searching for faces he holds so dear. From the rustling wake he can find The voices he left behind. He can hear his young son's cry Or the soft voice of his wife as into his arms she Soon will fly.
