For onelreason, who wants a stirred soul? For another reason this book is not for soul stirring purposes For a final reason, this book was made to be a chronicle of events of the CLEVELAND'S Westpac deployment. It is warm 1tlS thankful it is as friendly as the crew is close. Speaking for the staff allow me to say thanks to every member of the crew for you made the cruise worth the effort. Paul H.

DEWENTER As the Commanding Officer of the Cleveland, Captain Dewenter has instilled in the crew the same dedication to their work as he has shown during his Naval career. The Ol' Man fhave you ever met a C O not called the ol' man?j has been, among other billets not as intriguing Caide to COMCARDIVFIVEPJ, the C.O. ofa jet attack squadron and a Carrier air Wing, a U,S, Chinese intrepretor at Pan Mun-jom, Korea at the armistice talks, and a solo pilot and diamond slot man with the world famous Blue Angels. With the Cleve, he has become an institution. His over- hand volleyball serve is outtasight, he's put to shame all jogging enthusiasts by tripping off 30 laps at a time he maneuvers the ship like it was a Masserati in heat, he's got a mean ZZ somersault with a pike, and he still has time for a welcome open door policy and a pat on the back for deserving personnel. He's what we've needed. As we head back to the States in a premier position thanks cloesn't seem enough - but that's all We've got . . . and we gladly give it to him. Bravo Zulu Captain Y Y , . 7355 4 f WWE X fwwf f aff!!! if gf F COMMANDER JAMES C. ELDER The best adfTllf1lSffHIOf PHIB PAC has ever seen, Cdr. Elder has been the driving force behind the Cleveland's ability to be on schedule before anyone else. Basically a Tin Can man QX.O. Of McCoy Reynolds, Charles E. Brannon, Ops boss of the England, staff member of COMCRUDES- PACQ, the Exec has brought to the gator Navy an exactness for detail not often seen. Whenever the word Mr. Umptyclutch, please dial SIX , , , ONE , , , THREE , is passed, all people start assessing their day's accomplishments because something, somewhere has gone undone - and someone knows it. A man who finds 3.8's where others see 4,0's, the X.O. has taught the Cleveland that a job well done is one which is completely correct, efficiently completed, and correctly efficient. His loss will be felt on board. We've learned, Commander, We hope We can teach. ' .e vu, . ww, N , .-Ag. ,... K' - THE CHAPLAIN i CHAPLAIN ROY THORNBERRY, LCDR, USN Known as Padre or Papa Hemingway , or UBUCHAPSH or just plain Chaplain , LCDR Thornberry, a former fireman and current checker-playing champ of the wardroomyhas been a great help during his time on board the Cleveland. Whether sunning on the deck, holding services on the forecastle, or counseling in his office, the Chaplain was always ready with a listening ear and a piece of advice. And he never passed the collection plate. .- fffzaf-.,-.9-f. eze -5-55. LCDR VIDEO V. TONELLI, USN Known as a sea-daddy to 80 sailors, LCDR Tonelli is in command of the ship's second largest department. An expert deckman and versed in shiphandling techniques and amphibious operations. Mr. Tonelli is the reigning authority in the well-deck, B St A crane, forecastle, and boat operations. Although not generally known as a possessor of uncanny luck during this deployment in- the Philippines, he has a store of wealth in seafaring' stories that has allowed him to teach well many a junior officer and qualify many a boatswain's mate. Soon to leave the Cleveland, Mr. Tonelli, Terrible Tony , will be missed . . . at balloon con- trol . . . and at his forecastle station. . - - , , gf 1' 'X ,xx 4.

DOUGHERTY LCDR Dougherty, head of the Operations Department, arrived aboard the Cleveland in April, 1970 and Was instrumental in starting the rebirth of the steamin' Cleve. A striver for efficiency, he is fondly remembered by the words echoing through the passageways, YOU TELL LAWRENCE OF POLAND TO GET ON HIS WHITE PIG AND RIDE IT TO THE BRIDGEIV' and USOURBEER, YOU STEPPED ON IT BEFORE YOU COULD GET IT OUT!l By keeping the Cleveland on top of every incoming evolution, Mr. Dougherty has earned the respect of all.

MCCULLOCH The air boss for Big Mac as he is known in flying circlesj has been responsible for a complete nesurgence of the air department. Most of the work is done during deployment f and this crew has had more than their share . . . as evidenced by the white color of Mr. McCulloch's skin fthe result of long hours in primaryj. As testing officer, premier legal advisor, and 21 standout on the volleyball and basketball courts, he has made his presence known. His colorful voice ricochets off the bulkheads in phrases such as Numnutzl and Flight Quarters? Again? - yet he is always ready to continue his excellent execution. Soon to leave the Cleveland for a more scholarly life, he will be missed. Good luck, Sir, and thank you. Front Row - l to r - M. Watkins, W. Mattea, R. Bundriclge, R.

It is partially because of him that Mr. Dougherty has become the bard oflthe bridge. Congratulations to you and your communications gang, Mr. lvlourer.

Bringing a stereo to the lab at first increased his business until his professional work became known . . and now people visit even when the stereo is not going. A superb, dental surgeon, he may be recognized by the big camera lens he carries around IS man working partyj or the way he keeps putting his hands into people's mouths. No matter, - he knows exactly what he's doing and has done an outstanding job on board. His dedication to business has even extended into liberty time HS he studied the latest techniques while visiting Manila. To you also, DOUGH WC appreciate it greatly. LT JOHN J. FALZONE The nearest thing to Dr. Kildare the Cleveland has on board,lDr. Falzone has won the business of all the hypochondriacs in the vicinity. A tireless healer who has a golf handicap as low as his salary, -the Doc has blended in well with a new crew - he took over a difficult position and has continued in a professional manner 'not often found among Naval medical men. His inspections have become his trade- mark - there is undoubtedly no dust on the floors of his house. During the cruise, he's participated in everything - from firing 50mm guns to photographing cock fights. . . and still he has become the best doctor ever to be aboard the Cleveland.
