ARNESEN, USNR A LOOK AT THE PAST THROUGH THE YEARS The USS CASTOR ' S hull was designed and laid down as the first C-2 class cargo vessel by the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company for the US Maritime Com- mission. She was launched at Kearney, N. J. on May 20, 1939 as SS CHALLENGE. When first completed, the vessel was operated for one year by the Cuba Mail Line before- purchase by the Navy on Octo- ber 23, 1940. Converted for the Navy and designated AKS-1, she was commissioned USS CASTOR on March 12, 1941, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Her mission was to carry general stores, ship ' s store stock, clothing, and medical supplies to the for- ward operating areas where no advance bases had been established. At 0730, December 7, 1941. CASTOR was among the ships in Pearl Harbor under attack by the Japanese. She had a cargo of TNT, and although the ship was strafed, there were no casualties among her crew. Until early 1944 when six more AKc3 vessels were completed, CASTOR and ANTARES (AKS-3) were the only ships of this class operating with the fleet. CASTOR finished the war servicing the fleet in the Western Pacific. On June 30, 1947, she was decommissioned, having steamed 246,354 miles. In October 1950, CASTOR was towed to Todd Shipyard, Alameda. California, where repairs and reactivation began. The next month she was again placed in com- mission and again sent to the Western Pacific. The ship witnessed the Korean conflict and remained in the Orient through 1955. CAS ' ; OR returned to San Francisco in January of 1956. For the next five months the ship underwent overhaul and conver- sion. Upon completion, she emerged as the most advanced supply ship in the technical and general stores area. The redesign of CASTOR, which resulted in placing techni- cal spares on board (electronics, ordnance, and ship ' s repair parts) gave the ship her present configuration and permitted the deactivation of two AKS-T ' s. CASTOR was thus three ships in one. She arrived in Yokosuka. Japan, her new homeport and began again to support ships in the Western Pacific. Shortly after returning to WESTPAC, CASTOR received an SOS from a Philippine merchant ship. SS LEPUS. She immediately turned her head toward the typhoon which was bat- tering LEPUS. With the assistance of res- cue plauies from Clark Air Force Base, CASTOR located and picked up eleven sur- vivors on the evening of October 20, 1956. The SS LEPUS had sunk the previous day. One survivor died from exposure shortly after rescue. The other twenty-five men aboard LEPUS were never found. On No- vember 5. 1956. the President of the Philippines, Ramon Magsaysay, presented a citation and plaque to the officers and men of CASTOR. In 1964. shortly before the ship began to deploy routinely to the South China Sea. her homeport was shifted to Sasebo, Japan, in Nagasaki Prefecture. The last six months of 1965 saw CASTOR in overhaul once again, this time in Sasebo by Sasebo Heavy Industries (SSK) and the Ship Repair De- partment, Fleet Activities, Sasebo. Instal- lation of the latest communications equip- ment was a primary modification in antic- ipation of an increased tempo of operations. Since early 1966, CASTOR has aver- aged meeting over one-hundred ships per deployment, while maintaining an average net effectiveness of over 90 ' ;f.. CASTOR continues to be most consistent in her sup- port of Yankee and Market-time ships in the waters off Vietnam. She is still NUMBER ONE. COMMANDING OFFICER CAPTAIN A. L.

In CASTOR, First Division is in charge of all deck space and rigging for- ward of the superstructure and Second, aft. The Bos ' nmates job is endless as the salt air and spray continually nips away at grey paint. In addition to the usual deck chores of hoisting anchor, preservation and marlin- spike seamanship, those in this ship also become experts at handling the winches both in the process of stowing the holds and in underway transfer. The cable rigs must continually be changed at each station as customer ships have varying capabilities. Ros ' ns also must coxwain and main- tain the small boats and gig. This is a thankless job when everyone else is on liberty on the Hong Kong beach. A Bos ' n mate always has the feeling that his job could never be done by automation, and he ' s right!

In actuality a large part of their time is spent assisting in the Unreps as bolo throwers and line-gun shooters. The senior Gunners also serve on the Master- at-arms force, keeping order throughout the ship. Gunners zero in on Mii.ill to.it nissun; close atxxird to maintain a sharp uye. X-NAV Executive and Navigation personnel comprise a dual-division primarily be- cause the Navigator is also the Person- nel Officer. The Quartermasters are responsible for keeping the ship headed in the right direction. They are experts in radar, depth-finding, sextant use, and visual bearing because all of these skills are used to determine the ships position. Ship ' s Office and Sick Bay make up the Executive branch. The personnelmen and Yoemen in Ship ' s Office keep track of individual service records, prepare the plan of the day, and finalize all ship ' s cor- respondence. The Postal Clerks are charged with delivering the mail and selling stamps. The Corps men hold Sick Call every morning and are always ready to treat minor cuts and bruises. Yes, we ' re holding track.

The Stores Group man the ship ' s five cargo holds which have been converted to bin and bulk storage for over 23,000 differ- ent items of stock. They are in charge of the receiving, issuing, stowage, and inventory of stock. The Control Group runs the Electron- ic Accounting Machine room around the clock and processes requirements from customer ships as they come off the ra- dio wires. They also furnish a listing of stores issued for the customers as well as re-ordering material to replace stock which has teen issued. The Admin Group must assure that supply needs for CASTOR are met. DP2 Grodls supervises an up-date of the stock battery in preparation for a re- order. CASTOR has latest EAM gear.

A Division is composed of Enginemen and Machinistmates. Their primary re- sponsibilities are the operation and main- tenance of the diesels, boat motors, refrig- erated spaces, air conditioners, compres- sors, and the machine shop. B Division is the Boilertenders. who must take care of the ship ' s boilers and boiler accessories, keep the ship on an even keel through fuel distribution, and man the refueling detail. M stands for Machinistmates, the men who are responsible for the main propul- sion machinery, the fresh water evaiwra- tors. the steam turbine, the turbo-genera- tors, and various pumps. One can readily see that these men in actuality have but a common job--that of furnishing jwwer and propelling the vessel. Somehow they always seem to be able to get us back to home port just an hour or two early. E R E Division is composed of the Electri- cian ' s mates and the Interior-Communica- tionsmen. The EM ' s are in charge of all switch boards electrical circuits and wiring throughout the ship. The IC-men are re- sponsible for internal communications- -the ship ' s telephone system and the sound pow- ered phones. They also maintain and repair the ship ' s gyro-compass and repeaters. An additional responsibility is the movies car- ried both for showing in CASTOR and is- suing to other ships. R Division signifies Repair and is composed of the Shipfitters and Damage - controlmen. While most of the work ac- complished by these men is of the nature of wood and metal alterations and repairs. in the event of an emergency these men are the men who are experts in fire fighting.

SA Sean McAlary has the task of keypunching require- ments well in hand. PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS When a customer ship finds that CAS- TOR will soon be in the area, her Supply Officer makes out his shopping list in mes- sage form. Radio Central receives this message and immediately routes it to the Electronic Accounting Machine Room where it is soon keypunched and processed for garbles. The punched IBM cards are then sent to the Fleet Issue Office where they are sorted for distribution to the holds. When the cards reach the holds, the Store- keepers enter the location battery and note the exact spot where an item may be found. The hold personnel then begin to bag and box the requirements, which are placed on the hatch square. The materi- al is then ready for breakout. 1 K ' .j,- ' B 1 ' BL., ■■ini ■n H .J SKI Bonoan checks the master file to assure that ordered item is carried.

After picking and packing is complete, all stores material must be brought topside to be positioned on an UNREP station so that it may be deliv- ered to the receiving ship in an orderly fashion. There are eleven topside custom- er delivery stations — five to port, five to starboard, and the helocopter plat- form. Ofter the material is in a for- ward hold and the station is aft. As a result the stores must be hand carried the length of the ship. When the prop- er station is reached, goods are placed on wooden pallets and secured in nylon cargo transfer nets. Then the word is passed, Supply is ready. This amount of deck space will accommodate sixty pallets of material. Rags, hardware, paper, candy, paint — CAST ' Iches forth her goodies.

The ship has on her fantail a helocop- ter landing platform which enables her to use the speedy effectiveness of the whirly- birds. Vertical replenishment, or VER- TREP, is the fastest transfer method yet developed for high priority items. Valu- able operational time is saved by both the customer and the delivery ship since they need not rendezvous alongside. The helo in the VERTREP acts as the winch in the UNREP does. The ships during the VER- TREP may be far from sight of each other. High priority material may consist of transmitter diodes or radio tubes or bilge pump pistons or even people. Personnel who must be transferred from ship to ship or ship to shore in as short a time as pos- sible may expect a helo lift. As the 7TH FLEET operations increase, so does helo usage.

More than ninety-nine per cent of Hong Kong ' s population is of the Chinese race: cheerful, industrious, independent people with an ability to adopt and adapt to West- ern ways while still retaining their tradi- tional customs and culture. Life in the Crown Colony is an agreeable blend of East and West, and visitors cannot fail to notice this at every turn. Numerous bays and inlets, as well as sub-tropical vegetation, make Hong Kong island an I-Men of scenery. It is a slow day ' s journey around the isle with stop- overs in Repulse Bay, a resort area much like Newport; the floating restaurants at Aberdeen, which must be reached by sam- pan; and ' ictoria Peak, which overlooks the port city. The next day there is shop- ping for ivory; jade; tailored suits, shoes and shirts; and a miriad of items from the world over.

Although the Spanish in- fluence shows in the rural areas, the towTis are progressive, and the jeepney has re- placed the high Spanish cart. This is a maturing country which realizes that Asia is changing. Pagsanjan Falls is a popular place to relax. Tours are arranged for the men. Petite and pretty are the Filipinos. The ubiquitous jukebox blares away. Afternoon shadows seem to compliment the pensive mood of this young lass. s §881 BHH 89U ' %9fA « • Olongapo. Olongapo by any other name would still be Olongapo. Olongapo. Olongapo. A sign of the times proclaims building. Life is unhurried for these children. The routine of the ship could be a million miles away during Pagsanjan tour. TOKYO AREA Tokyo — the Ginza — perpetual motion this must be! The largest city in the world has something for everyone. The mode of transportation is the ikl -- sometimes el sometimes subway. Tokyo is unique in that each business has its street — enter- tainment, bookstores, restaurants, tea- houses, or banking. The city goes round the clock. Many visitors are content to stroll the Ginza and shop, but other are off to Ueno, Shimbashi, and other districts. Traditional beauty visits Ueno Park. Hu li lings on the Gin i are varlmi m slui| u and have billUwrds In Kanjl. Bl-Ungual signs guide confused nomads. «! :u Ueno Park Zoo; an international favorite. Bootblack appears unaware of city ' s din. Kanji characters tell tale of sumarai. Streets filled with people, each with his separate purpose; each hurries to his goal. KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN A favorite port is Kaohsiung. Here on the southwest coast of Taiwan is one city where the astute shopper can buy teak fur- niture and marble goods at a fraction of stateside prices. Inexpensive books, re- cords, and statuary are available. Kaohsiung :s also the winter home of Chiang Kai C ' hk, whose palace is on an is- land in a lak ' . . There is a park around the lake. Tht local flora are tropical and green. Pedi-power brings the goods to market. These men relax near palace grounds. ■t lii k • The [. ' ■•licab — slow, l ' . Is thi.

Multicolored tem- ples and varied Buddlias bear witness to a rich heritage oi fhe Thai people. The Royal Barge j iiiso a must for sightseers. Signs are in ibree different languages- - Thai, Chinese, and English. Black star sapphires and brassware are favored souvenirs of Thailand. Viet Nam is by no means a liberty port but rather an occasional stop to conduct INREP ' S. There is much activ- ity here as South Viet Nam struggles to maintain its sovereignty. Bangkok has a maze of waterways. 1; 1 : i- 53S aS Ten thousand miles from home the Brothers Pettlgrew meet in Danang, S. VN.

Re-enlistment is always an important day in the life of the career Navyman, for the Navy is more than a job to these. It is a way of life. The Navy needs to retain qualified people, and to this end it offers various incentives; a variable re-enlist- ment bonus, choice of duty station, conver- sion programs, lump-sum leave payment, and re -enlistment leave. But what is the real reason for ship- ping over in the Navy? It must be the per- sonal satisfaction that is felt when a job is done well, when daring is routine, and when new surroundings become home. It ' s a man ' s job. The Captain swears in SD2 Rivera.
