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 wartime. , The CACAPON lived up to her purpose, spending 22 months supporting the Fifth Fleet units in their raids against the Gilbert lslands. She refueled some 600 naval vessels, discharging 2,100,000 barrels of fuel oil, 134,000 barrels of diesel oil, and 5,824,000 gallons of aviation gasoline. In 1947, the CACAPON spent 10 weeks operating in the Antarctic waters with Admiral Byrdis famous expedition. She steamed about 20,000 miles total from the beginning of Operation Highjumpw until its end on 1 March 1947. V From 1950 to 1953, the duration, of the Korean Conflictn, the CACAPON made 5 tours off the coast of Korea in the combat zone. Sherestablished 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 brought to new life the symbolic house flag of a black rooster, which nowflies over the ship at the end of each unrep. This accompanied with our- notorious slogan Find em, Fuel em, Forget emn. In the time since commissioning, the CACAPON has had at least 3 major million dollar , overhauls. She is being modernized as quickly as new ideas and practices are put to use. 10 FEB-10 MAR Leave 11 MAR-13 MAR 14 MAR-9 APR 10 APR-24 MAY Beach, California California California 25 MAY-7 fUlY ORI 8 JUN-17 JUN 18 jUN,10 jUL 11 jUL-18 jUL 19 jUL-20 jUL' AU 2 OCT-3 3 OCT-9 OCT Taiwan Bay, B.P.1. 10 OCT 12 OCT 23 OCT 29 OCT 11 OCT 22 OCT 28 OCT 8 NOV 9 NOV-10 NOV 11 Nov- 19 NOV 21 Nov 23 Nov 18 NOV 20 NOV 22 NOV -4 DEC 5 DEC-6 DEC 7 DEC-18 DEC 19 DEC-21 DEC 22 DEC-31 DEC 1 JAN-7 JAN 8 JAN-21 JAN 22 JAN-29 JAN 30 JAN-3 FEB 4 FEB-13 FEB R.P.I. c Bay, R.P.l. ff Coast Vietnam Bay, B.P.1.

Logistic support represents the Navysl com- bined efforts to bring together the shore based support activities and the combatant ships at sea. This support activity may be accomplished in only one mannerg UNDER- WAY REPLENI-SHMENT. The replenish- our ships at sea means that ranges may be extended by thousands of miles, combat operations can go around the clock, advance bases may be established overnight and a nations security is never in question. An unrep means many different things to the various units of the Pacific Fleet. To a carrier it may mean black oil for its main engine plant, avgas for its helos, JP-5 for the ment of operating Q Phantom jets and ammunition and bombs for its air strikes. To a destroyer an oiler provides fresh fruit and meat, along with its usual load of fuel and ammo. Wounded personnel may be the cargo for the hospital ship USS HOPE. But for a tiny mine sweeper that has been operating off the coast of Vietnam for two months solid an unrep means only one thing, mail from home. Preparations for an unrep begin when the ship first departs for Westpac, for from then on she must be prepared to provide almost anything at any time. A rendezvous must first be established but that doesnlt mean that the refueling will occur exactly as planned. They come any time, day or night. Many times an unrep begins by a sudden blast over the shipls public address system, followed by KNOW go to your stations on the underway replenishment detail. Man stations four and eight, black oil and the port wire hi-line. Standby to receive the USS Turner J oy, DDC-982 alongside to port. Action begins immediately. To an outsider it looks like mass confusion. Phone stations are being manned, refueling rigs are readied, Winches and turbines are tested, radio cir- cuits are set up and very quickly the bridge receives a manned and ready report and the unrep begins. -W -- rf---.----..----P -.,-. f.1-.,..L..x...........ag.-:..,,'.,-,.,..' ,,,,,, wg: ,fy ,WM .,,,, W, .7 L7 ,gf M . ff, -f, ,, , , my, ,f M' A f f f It starts on the bridge with visual sighting of the receiving ship NOW GO TO YOUR STATIONS I ON THE UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT DETAIL, MAN STATIONS 4, 8, BLACK OIL, PORT HI LINE PUT FRGBES ON RIG 8 I SAY AGAIN PUT PROBES ON RIG 8 STANDBY EASY ON STA READY ROMEO AT THE DEP 2 'L fa ia ,eg 3 ON THE HANCOCK STANDBY TO RECEIVE BOLOS .. .

Sweep and Swab Chip and Paint These are duties of F1rst D1v1s1on. But they can be done only after the helo detail has been secured the bouy party has finished, the ship s boats are 1n the water and worklng damage control work is up to date, training records are completed and the unreps are over So it s easy to see that a deck sailor is more than a maintenance man 5, f S My . .W f f - .Fa , When the ships want JP-5 they work with Second Division, for only rigs iournand eight handle this commodity. When they arenit pumping fuel these sailors are standing bridge Watches and manning the motor whale boat but most of all they rope off freshly painted areas of the ship to encourage the snipes to get more exercise.

These gunners mates and fire control technicians work around the clock to insure that the ship maintains its fire power capabilities. The gunners mates fire the shot lines over and transfer ammunition, while the fire controlmen handle the phone and distance lines to the receiving ships. When the detail is set, their work isjust starting, when its over, there are hundreds of yards of shotline which must be untangled and rewound in preparation for the next one.

Commlssarymen ess Cooks The commissarymen of Supply Department put their best efforts forth when trying to satisfy the appetites of the 260 men aboard CACAPON. They prepare a wide variety of high quality meals in an effort to please even the most particular sailor. The mess cooks assist the cooks in preparing the meals, serving the chow line, cleaning the galley and of course, manning the scullery Qdoing the dishesj. These men are not assigned permanently as mess cooks but serve for three month periods and then return to their respective divisions. i 20 1amr !li f , , .few r Wsw-.....Aes g- Ms- an-vm mm L . The ship's servicemen manage the staggering quantity of laundry that comes in each day from the officers and crew. While doing the Wash they also manage to maintain a full time barber shop and operate the ship's store. The ship's store in addition to handling the necessary and everyday needs also sells jewelry, radios, photography equipment and many other items that help make the sailoris life more comfortable. r Wardroom meals are prepared and served by the stewards under the expert direction of Chief Mangum.

Many of the crew spent their days in the sun on Waikiki Beach and their nights at some of the islands better known. night spots. Nearly every tour boat that visited the USS ARIZONA monument had a few ofthe CACAPONS sailors who took a few minutes out of their liberty time to pay homage to 1122 men entombed in her sunken hull.

' J Subic Bay During a Westpac cruise the CACAPON spends most of its time in Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines and after eight months many sailorsrtstart refering' to Subic as home. The base has extensive recreational fac- ilities and activities but most sailors find they spend a great deal of time in Olongapo, ai little town right outside thefmain gate. Here a man may spend four pesos fone dollarj for a glass of colored water for his date but only one peso for a 'taxi ride-it any where in the city. The town taxis are actually colorfully painted Army ijeeps called Hjeepniesw. Outside of Olongapo there 'are an abundance of inter- esting places 'to visit, ranging from beautiful' White Rock Beach to the remains of 14 inch guns originally' built for the defense of the islands. But still, pmostcsailors find the village to be the 'most interesting area in the islands. ,Q f, W ,gy , .I ,I I I . fa' Y ,.3ff,gQ J, , ' '+, :wk-, Q f 1 1 r- ' f , f . f,f gf fr C My W ,ffm X I Wfyw f f ,f 1 f 7 , WY wwf x','7,, fn.
