K 54 8 7 Commissioning a The Tradition of avy hip The Commissioning Ceremony signifies the acceptance for service and the entry of a ship into the active fleet of the United States Navy. At the moment of the breaking of the commissioning pennant, USS CHANCEL- LORSVILLE CCG 625 becomes a proud ship of the line. The Com- manding Officer, together with the ship's officers and crew, then accepts the duties and responsi- bilities of making and keeping her ready for any service required by our nation, in peace or war. The Commissioning Ceremony has been a tradition of all navies for centuries and in the United States Navy since its beginning. It marks the formal entrance of a man-of- war into the naval forces of her nation. It is the final and most significant event of the triad that brings a ship to life: keel laying, launching and christening, and commissioning. In the early periods of our Nation's history, no exact proce- dure for the Commissioning Ceremony was prescribed. Thus, a ship's date of commissioning was recorded as any one of a number of days - when the colors were first raised, when officers and crew reported on board, when the first log entry was made, or when the ship was first put out to sea. Throughout the years, however, one visible and significant mani- festation ofthe commissioned ship has remained constant: active ships of the United States Navy, from the days of the handsome frigates under sail to the era of the modern Aegis guided missile cruiser, have proudly flown a com- missioning pennant and the Stars and Stripes. The commissioning pennant has for centuries been the unique symbol of the man-of-war. Today, it is flown as the distinctive mark of a ship in commission, except when displaced by the personal flag of an Admiral aboard the ship. The origin of the commis- sioning pennant, like many of our traditions, can be traced to the British Navy. After whipping an adversary, the British Admiral William Blake hoisted a long, narrow commissioning pennant in remembrance of the original horsewhip as its distinctive symbol of a man-of-war-a tradi- tion adopted by many world navies. The modern U.S. Navy commis- sioning pennant is blue at the hoist with a union of seven white stars, and a horizontal red and white stripe at the fly. Symbolism Heraldic symbols were first used by our armed forces during the Revolutionary War, and have been a part of our tradition ever since. CHANCELLORSVILLE's coat of arms represents the ship's heritage. J A Q71 Kia' I szi45. SHIELD Dark blue and gold are the traditional Navy colors. The dark blue and gray refer to the colors of the Union and Confederate Armies. The predominate gray refers to General Robert E. Lee's spectacular military strategies and his dominance in this battle. The Civil War battle of Chancel- lorsville, a victory for General Lee, was bought at a heavy cost because General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded. The inverted wreath commemorates General J ackson's death. The embattled division and Separation of the Union and Confederate colors represent the country divided. The battlements, which resemble a stone wall, allude both to General Jackson and the fortress like quality of an Aegis ship. The border, red for valor and bloodshed, symbolizes the Union's attempt to keep the country unified. The sword stands for combat readinessg its upright position emphasizes the vertical launch capabilities of USS CHANCELLORSVILLE. The bugle horn, adapted from Civil War insignia, calls the fighting men to PRESS ON CThe motto echoes the favorite words of General J acksonl. CREST The trident is symbolic of sea power. Its three tines represent the USS CI-IANCELLORSVILLE's anti-air, anti-surface and anti- submarine warfare capabilities. The Aegis shape and Civil War cannon embody new and old weaponry. f T ! Aim fi J ' 3 H ,:g,q,,,3a,,j..W,, Q., ,,,, Battle of The Battle of Chancellorsville was fought from 1-4 May 1863, be- tween the Federal Army of the Potomac, General Joseph Hooker commanding, and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, Gen- eral Robert E. Lee commanding. Both armies had wintered around Fredericksburg, Virginia, after the disastrous Federal defeat near the town in December 1862. Fron- tal assault having failed under General Ambrose E. Burnside, General Hooker would try a flank maneuver. He would lead a size- able portion of his 130,000 man army up the north side of the Rappahannock River to cross behind General Lee and jeopard- ize the positions of the Southern- ers near Fredericksburg. On May lst, the battle flared into action west of Fredericksburg as General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson moved toward Chancel- lorsville on two separate roads. General Hooker committed the fatal blunder of retreating under General J ackson's pressure, thus losing the initiative and giving his Chancellorsville opponents the chance to attack his Weak spots. Early the next morn- ing in a bold move to cut around the Union Army, General Jackson marched West with nearly 30,000 men, leaving General Lee with only 15,000 troops to face General Hooker's main threat. By late afternoon General Jackson had his entire force hehind General Hooker's army, and he Was able to launch an J ,nh offensive and destroying General Hooker's army. With total success at hand, tragic circumstances intervened. As the General rode back toward his own men, some of them fired a blind volley which badly Wounded him. He died a week later at Guiney Station, Virginia, as a result of his wounds and of the pneumonia which sub- sequently developed.

V........ -- f - - H ' ' rv-'W W' 'sf r'ff'f ,, Construction The construction of CHANCEL- LORSVILLE CCG 629 is the latest chapter in a five-decade success story at Ingalls Shipbuilding. Since 1938, the employees of Ingalls have been producing high quality ships for the U.S, Navy and Merchant Marine fleets. Since the early 19705, Ingalls has been the lead shipbuilder for five new classes of major surface warships for the U.S. Navy. By delivering 53 new warships since 1975, a significant portion of the major surface warships delivered to the U.S. Navy during the period, Ingalls has established a reputation as the nation's fore- most facility for the design and construction of U.S. Navy cruis- ers, destroyers and amphibious assault ships. Ingalls entered the Navy's Aegis program as lead shipbuilder for the Aegis cruiser class in 1978. Since 1983, Ingalls has delivered 12 cruisers, which are today serving our Navy, our Nation and the free World in areas of highest priority around the globe. Ingalls builds Aegis cruisers using efficient modular shipbuild- ing techniques pioneered by the shipyard in the 1970s and en- hanced in recent years through the development of Product- Oriented Shipbuilding Technology CPOSTJ. As embodied in CG 62, modular shipbuilding and POST techniques resulted in a large ship built in four hull and superstruc- ture modules which were joined to form the complete ship. Propul- sion equipment and heavy ma- chinery, piping, ductwork, and electrical cabling were installed in the ship as the modules were built-prior to launch-and much earlier than would be the case in conventional shipbuilding. The ship s launching was as unique as her construction. CG 62 moved over land via Ingalls wheel-on-rail transfer system and onto the shipyard s launch and recovery drydock The drydock was ballasted down and CG 62 floated free She was then moved to her outfitting dock in prepara tion for the traditional christening ceremony and completion of out fitting and testing Y -,,.,..

The custom has survived through the ages and today is practiced in some form by all seafaring na- tions. Until the 19th century, U.S. ships were christened by men. In 1846, Mrs. Lavina Watson Fan- ning became the first woman to Sponsor a ship as she christened the sloop GERMANTOWN in Philadelphia. Since that occasion, the honor has always been be- stowed upon a woman. According to tradition, the spirit of the sponsor enters the ship at the time of christening and remains there forever. The ship becomes part of her and she a part of it, as it sails the seas preserving Americas freedom. CHANCEL- LORSVILLE is blessed to be protected by Mrs. Edward H. Martin, an ardent patriot and dedicated Navy wife. Christening is the transitional moment when the ship receives a name, and begins to emerge as more than an inanimate object. It signifies the bond existing be- tween ships and the men and women who build and sail them. On July 23, 1988, Mrs. Martin christened CG 62 as CHANCEL- LORSVILLE and the Press On spirit was born. -Q'-1g-sf-'-'rf AX'A ' ' W f ' sa-.-. c,Hw,,,,.,,,..v.,.Y.,,,.... .,W-h,, W .,,.,.f.f, va- ,Y fm -f-. ,,,, M W, W V K' Mu ,MM HMM, The Building of the Ship Henry Wadsworth Longfellow All is finished! and at length Has come the bridal day Of beauty and of strength.

Shadows from the flags and shrouds Like the shadows cast by clouds, Broken by many a sunny fleck, Fall around them on the deck. About the hip The Aegis Weapon System, which distinguishes CHANCEL- LORSVILLE and her sister cruisers as the U.S. Navy's most capable battle group surface combatants, is the heart of the ship's war-fighting capability. The Aegis system is an extensive integration of electronic detection, engagement and control equip- ment and provides CHANCEL- LORSVILLE with a truly multi- mission capability-fully equip- ping her to meet the demands of the missile era. CHAN CELLORSVlLLE's Aegis Weapon System, combined with her Vertical Launching System CVLSD, can rapidly fire more missiles and guide them in flight with greater accuracy, than any existing system. The Aegis sys- tem, produced by General Elec- tric, is designed to counter all current and projected missile threats to the Navy's battle forces A conventional mechanically ,IO , 'L zz.: , . '!'!lllllllll rotating radar sees a target when the radar beam strikes that target once during each 360 degree rotation of the antenna. A separate tracking radar is then required to engage each target, In contrast, the computer-controlled ANXSPY-1B phased array radar of the Aegis system brings these functions together within one system. The four fixed arrays of SPY send out beams of electro- magnetic energy in all directions simultaneously, continuously providing a search and tracking capability for hundreds of targets at the same time. CHANCELLORSVILLE is equipped with the MK 41 VLS, a multiwarfare missile launching system capable of firing a mix of missiles against airborne and surface threats. It is modular in design With eight modules sym- metrically grouped to form a launcher magazine. The modules contain all the necessary compo- nents for launching functions when interfaced with the ship's Aegis Weapon System. VLS is a product of Martin-Marietta. The ship's weapons include Standard surface-to-air missiles, Tomahawk and Harpoon surface- to-surface cruise missiles, Pha- lanx rapid-fire guns, 5 rapid-fire guns and torpedos. The ship's Weapons systems are supplemented by electronic warfare countermeasures, decoys, and passive detection systems. The Aegis system can also direct the operation of fighter aircraft and helicopters in protection of the battle group. The Aegis display system, a series of four large-screen displays, enables the Commanding Officer and Tactical Action Officer to remain con- stantly abreast of the battle situation.

The Tomahawk missile provides CHANCELLORSVILLE with an unparalleled attack capability. They are designed to fly great distances, striking land or ship targets with precision accuracy. CHANCELLORSVILLE can program the missile to fly a multi-legged track to engage contacts at desired bearings. VVhere aircraft carriers were once our primary strike warship, Tomahawk- capable ships can replace that offensive asset, as their ability to attack shore installations poses no risk of pilot injury. Harpoon Q Cruise Missile l Harpoon is the most Widely employed cruise missile system in the Navy, being found on almost every type of combatant ship and subma- rine in the fleet. Its low-altitude flight profile allows it to fly below air- search radars and to go undetected until it has detected its target. ItS ease of operation makes it a vital anti-ship weapon.

Using onboard acoustic, magnetic, radar and electronic surveillance sensors, the SH-60B extends the ship's eyes and ears to several hundred miles. The CHANCELLORSVILLE can support two SH-60Bs allowing continuous operations on a long-term basis beyond the ship's horizon.

A Personal Note From Our Captain 4 November 1989 Pascagoula, Miss. Dear Friends, Thank you for joining us today as We celebrate the coming to life of USS CHANCELLORSVILLE. Three years in construction, the ship represents the craftsmanship of thousands and thousands of Americans working diligently across this nation to provide the millions of component parts of which she is comprised. Even after a year of observing the building process, I am in awe of American industry's technological and productive capability. We extend special thanks to the men and women of Ingalls Shipbuilding who fused these millions of components into this great ship. To Al Storey, Mike Mitchell and Bob Roberts, our General Ship Superintendents, and to all their craftsmen, I pledge we will maintain your ship with the same care and pride with which you built her so well. To Sherry Martin, our wonderful ship's sponsor, and to the people of Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties Virginia, who have adopted this ship as their own, I extend my deep appreciation for all your efforts in our behalf. We will strive to be Worthy representatives of all of you as we sail throughout the world. To my magnificient crew and families, I offer my thanks for the many sacrifices you have made and the lengthy separations endured in bringing this ship to life. The continued support of our wives, children and parents is a source of great strength to all of us who sail in CHANCELLORSVILLE. were Gordon H. Rheinstrom Captain, U.S. Navy
