Arrive San Diego, CA USS CALLAGHAN (DDG-994) Coat of Arms Crest USS CALLAGHAN’S Coat of Arms represents the name, birthplace, and distinguished naval career of Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan. It also represents the modern technolo- gy of the new CALLAGHAN honored by that name. The chief simulates the Golden Gate Bridge, symboliz- ing San Francisco, California, Admiral Callaghan's place of birth. The trident connotes his naval career and the two light- ning flashes for his service in World War I and in World War II. The single star represents the Medal of Honor for his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II. The trident with the arcs and the lightning flashes also allude to the mission and capa- bilities Of the CALLAGHAN. The Crest heraldically speaks” the name Callaghan. The wolf is suggested by the Callaghan Coat of Arms, and the shamrock symbolizes Ireland. The two stars connote the rank of Rear Admiral Callaghan; they are conjoined to indi- cate that this is the second ship to bear the name CALLA- GHAN. Motto The ship's Motto is the word Intrepidity. Taken from Rear Admiral Callaghan's Medal of Honor citation, the Motto serves as inspiration to all who serve aboard CALLAGHAN to be brave and courageous not only in battle, but also in their daily lives. 4 THE CALLAGHAN LEGACY USS CALLAGHAN (ODG-994) is the second KIDD class Guided Missile De- stroyer and the second ship of the (loot to bea the name. Her namesake. Rear Admral Daniel Judson CALLAGHAN. U.S. Navy (Deceased), was born In San Francisco. California, in 1890. and was a true native. He began his career on the USS CALIFORNIA (ARC-6), spent the better part of his career in or near his hometown, commanded the USS SAN FRANCISCO (CA-38), and. upon reaching flag rank In 1942. hooted his flag in the same ship he had previously commanded. WMe leading a force of U.S. ships aganst a far supeoor Japanese force during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Rear Admral CALLAGHAN was killed in action on No- vember 13.1942. when a direct hit was scorod on the bridge of his flagship. Rear Admiral CALLAGHAN was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, his na- tion's highest tribute. Shortly thereafter, on November 27.1943. the first USS CALLAGHAN (DO- 792). a FLETCHER class destroyer, was commissioned. Her short but exciting life led her through submarine attack, air attack, escort duty, search and rescue missions, and typhoons. The ship finally met her fate in the early morning hours o! July 29.1945. when a kamikaze crashed amidship's less that ninety minutes before the ship was scheduled to head for home. Today s USS CALLAGHAN (DDG-944) is far more capable than her prede- cessor. She is designed to meet and defeat threats from the air. other ships, or submarines with Arkansas Class Cruiser's combat systems suite and the SPRUANCE class destroyer's quiet, responsive propulsion plant. The degree of automation permits CALLAGHAN to be manned by fewer men than her prede- cessor. although she is nearly 200 feet longer and over four times the displace- ment. Since her commissioning, CALLAGHAN has proven her name and earned an enviable reputation. Her maiden deployment, in 1983. included escort duty with the newly recommissioned battleship USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62). CALLA- GHAN was awarded the Humanitarian Service Medal for the rescue of 287 refu- gees off the coast of Southeast Asia and Moritorious Unit Commendation lor her actions In the 'KAL 007'' search and rescue operations. In February 1985, CALLAGHAN deployed to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans with the USS CONSTELLATION (CV-64) Battle Group. While on deploy- ment. the ship receded notification of the overall 8attle Efficiency E Award for Destroyer Squadron SEVENTEEN and was awarded the Commandor Naval Surface Force. U.S. Pacific Fleet Anti-Surface Warfare Award. CALLAGHAN vis- ited the ports of Subic Bay. Singapore. Diego Garcia, and 8unbury. Australia. CALLAGHAN s embarked helicopter detachment from HSL-33 flew 629 hours and made $32 landings during the six month deployment. CALLAGHAN was awarded her second consecutive Battle Efficiency E award from Destroyer Squadron FIVE for the period 01 January 1985 through 30 June 1986. In January 1986. CALLAGHAN embarked on a six-month. around-the-workJ deployment that included throe months in the North Arabian Sea'Tndian Ocean with the USS KITTY HAWK (CV-63) Battle Group to maintain an American pres- ence in the area. CALLAGHAN visited the ports of Subic Bay; Diego Garcia; Mombasa. Kenya; Palma de Mallorca. Spain; and St. Thomas. U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as transiting the Suoz and Panama canals. In January 1988. CALLAGHAN was awarded her third consecutive Battle Efficiency E CALLAGHAN continues to stnve for perfection in all areas of hor mission. She Is a highly survivable platform with a superbly skilled crew. Every man aboard does his best to live up to the ship's slogan. CALLAGHAN CLASS. Stuart C. Karon Commander, U.S. Navy Commander Stuart C. Karon, a native of Duluth. Minne- sota, received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Minnesota in 1968. Following commissioning, he reported for duty to USS ERNEST G. SMALL (DDG 838), as Anti-Sub- marine Warfare Officer. During this initial tour, he made two deployments to the Western Pacific and the waters off Viet- nam. When ERNEST G. SMALL was decommissioned in 1970, Commander Karon was ordered to USS OKLAHOMA CITY (CLG 5) where he served as First Lieutenant. The ship was homeported in Yokosuka, Japan as Flagship for the Commander, Seventh Fleet, and made continuous deploy- ments to Vietnam. Commander Karon next attended the U.S. Naval Post-Graduate School in Monterey. CA, and earned a Master of Science Degree (with distinction) in Engineering Acoustics. After attending the U.S. Naval Destroyer School in Newport, Rl, he was ordered to USS GOLDSBOROUGH (DDG 20) as Weapons Officer. During the time he was as- signed to GOLDSBOROUGH, the Pearl Harbor based ship made two deployments to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. A shore tour followed at Naval Sea Systems Com- mand Headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he was as- signed as program manager for several ASW programs. Dur- ing this assignment, he conceived and initiated the develop- ment of new surface ship sonar, and carried out several quick reaction programs in response to emergent fleet prob- lems. His next tour was on board the Pearl Harbor based USS COCHRANE (DDG 21), where he served as Executive Officer until September 1983. He was subsequently as- signed to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations as De- velopment Coordinator for Surface Ship Combat System Re- search and Development Programs; and to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research Engineering and Systems) as assistant for surface platforms and naval aide. Among his decorations are the Meritorious Service Medal, Navy Com- mendation Medal (Gold Star in lieu of second award), Navy Achievement Medal, Meritorious Unit Commendation and second Sea Service Ribbon.

On Watch for Captain's Call In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsi- ble for the safe navigation, engineering perform- ance, accurate gunfire and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship! This is the most difficult and demanding assign- ment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. It is a duty which most richly deserves the h est, time-honored title of the seafaring CAPTAIN. Celebrating 7 years of CALLAGHAN Class 9 EXECUTIVE OFFICER DANNY L.

BAHRAIN Frequent port visits were made to Manama, the capital city of Bah- rain. Primarily Arabic. Bahrain consists of a group of islands situated be- tween Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Oil production accounts for more than half of the government's income. The Islamic state s culture is a blend of Shi- ite Muslim and Sunni. After an escort mission through the Strait of Hormuz or at the com- pletion of other Persian Gulf operations. CALLAGHAN arrived at Sitrah anchorage for fuel and food supplies and a much deserved rest and relax- ation period. We willingly endured forty minute wet water taxi rides to Mina Sulman pier and ASU to enjoy American food favorites and recrea- tion, and to experience the Bahraini lifestyle. If a private tour in a dhow didn't excite you. a walking tour of the Suq may have. The more popular purchases included perfume oils, gold jewelry, and cassette tapes. Hag- gling was usually used. A smooth and friendly visit was insured by foF lowing a few general rules, such as not speaking with Arab women wear- ing abas, agreeing on a fare before hiring a taxi, and not passing by the head of a Muslim in prayer.

The is- land, which is located in the Andaman Sea, offered lush green pastoral land- scapes and outstanding beaches. The crew of the CALLAGHAN enjoyed a well-deserved vacation” in Phuket, where the emphasis was placed on wa- ter sports such as scuba diving and parasailing. Jet-ski rentals were avail- able, but were considered the local rip- off if they broke-down. Spicy, inexpen- sive Thai cuisine including outstanding dishes with lobster and prawns could be enjoyed at many of the Patong restau- rants. T-shirt and souvenir shops lined the streets, where bargains on silk and gems could also be found. CALLAGHAN volunteers generously offered some of their liberty time to paint a local school for orphans. The smiling faces of the children revealed the project was a suc- cess. Singapore, the Thoroughfare to the East. was a scenic and colorful land of contrasts. Fast-paced, modern business districts blended with old charming Oriental markets. Singapore was remarkably clean, achieved through the enforcement of strict litter laws. Anyone dropping something as small as a cigarette butt or gum wrap- per can be ticketed and pay a stiff fine. The city offered numerous attractions. CALLAGHAN men could be found shopping at world-famous Change Al- ley, sipping (what an understatement!) Tiger beer at Newton Circus open air food stalls, and touring Botanic Gar- dens and Sentosa Island. SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES Officers vs Chiefs CALLAGHAN wound her way through a maze of junks, sampans, and cargo ves- sels to anchor in Hong Kong harbor. The cold and gloom of the early morning arrival quickly gave way to sun, and picturesque Hong Kong welcomed us. The magnificent natural setting of the city highlights the vi- brant and colorful life of its people. Hong Kong has a convenient rapid transit sys- tem and more traditional bus system to take you to outstanding shopping and res- taurants, and exotic sightseeing. Old Chi- na is evident in rickshaw, rice paddies, open air food stalls, and floating towns. Many of us had the opportunity to visit Vic- toria Peak, Botanical Gardens, Kowloon, Stanley Market, and the China Fleet Club. Market Atop Victoria Peak I An overpowering sense of history greets sailors each time they enter Pearl Harbor and view the USS ARIZONA memori- al. Hawaii's rich history of kings and queens, missionaries, and whalers is evident throughout Oahu and the other islands. Am- erica’s 50th state is the nation's most multi- ethnic society. On two brief port visits to Oahu, some CALLAGHAN crew members were able to surf at Sandy Beach, enjoy the Honolulu nightlife, and experience a tradi- tional Hawaiian luau. Crossing the Line ... ‘ Wake up. Wog! I'm hungry and I want some breakfast! So get up! You've got five minutes to get dressed and then I can start your flogging with my Wog Whip! It's 0400 8 January 1989. Today will be one of the longest days of the year for some of the unlucky Wogs on board CALLAGHAN. But for the Shellbacks, this is a day they have waited for since the last time they crossed over. Crossing the Equator into King Neptune's domain and initiating slimey Wogs into Shellback status is an age-old Navy tradition that turns men into sailors. Soon after a hearty breakfast, served by Wogs. King Neptune arrived on board CALLA- GHAN. Before any Wogs could be initiated, the King had to pick a trusty Wog-dog to protect his court, and a fair maiden to be his Queen. The dogs were brought out to demonstrate their loyalty, perform tricks, and parade by the King until “Dyno-Mutt was declared the winner. The King then had to choose his Queen. All the maidens were so beautiful and talented that two Queens (TMSN Nguyen and FN Driscoll) were chosen to sit by his side during the initiation. Wog Whips were soon cracking as the slimey Wogs crawled helplessly around the ship. King Neptune and his Royal Court lie ahead, waiting to determine the fate of all Wogs. Would you go around again, or continue on to trusty Shellback status?
