After boot camp and radio technicians school he served in the South Pacific in LCC-48 and USS ALCYONE as a radio technician. In 1945 he was selected for officer training and entered NROTC. In 1949 he graduated from the University of Michigan with a B,S, in Physics and was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy. Sea duty billets after commissioning included duty as CIC and Electronics officer of the USS SPANGI-ER DE-696, in commissioning and as Operations Officer of the USS HARVESON DER-316, and as Commanding Officer of the USS LORIKEET MSCQOQ-49. During 1955-56, CDR Baird completed the Command Communication Course at the Naval Post Graduate School, Monterey, California. He then served for two years on the Staff of Commanderin Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In the summer of 1958, CDR Baird was ordered to the USS ROCHESTER CA-124 as Communications officer. In 1959 he became the Executive Officer of the USS RUPERTUS DD-851, a unit of DESRON 3 which became the first U.S. destroyer squadron to be homeported in Yokosuka. CDR Baird completed the Command and StaffCourse at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island during 1961-62. He was then ordered to OPNAV where he served in the Operations and Readiness Division of the Assistant Chief of Naval Operations for Communications. While serving in OPNAV he received his Master of Arts degree in International Affairs from George Washington University. I-Ie was promoted to his present rank the same month. CDR Baird wears the following service ribbons: Navy Good Conduct Award, American Campaign, Asiatic Pacific Campaign Q2 starsp, World War II Victory, National Service Defense, and Philippine Liberation Q2 starsj. He is married to the former Gaynor M. MacDonald of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Bairds have 2 children and now reside in San Diego, California. ' CAPTAIN 'S MESSAGE Our 1965 WESTPAC deployment spanned a period of more than six months. In this time frame we steamed a great many miles, and shared many challenges and tasks. There were many high points for all of us, as operationally, I am sure that it was one of the busiest and most varied deployments COGSWELL has experienced. The temp of operations remained very high through- out this period, and we saw withanew perspective the impact of a war that is cold in name only. Unfortunately, our schedule included few liberty ports, however, the extended periods at sea provided a very real test of our state of training and material readiness. Added importance was placed on day to day maintenance and operations, and the often overlooked quality of sheer endurance. The crew of COGSWELL is essentially young. In fact almost 70 percent were born after the ship was commissioned in August 1943. The crew is made up of a cross section of America, with at least 1 representative from all but 7of the 50 states. These men, and their wives and parents, are the force behind GOGSWELL, and create the spirit that shapes per personality. It is true that a ship has an almost tangible spirit and personality, but these qualities are derived from the combined personalities of those who give her life. This is a time when writers and leaders belittle modern youth and note the increasingly prev- alence of the attitude: What's in it for me ? It is a time when newspapers carry stories that reveal a frightening lack of self discipline and responsibility to neighbor and community. The popular role is that of a cynic, Only fools volunteer . In spite of these examples and warnings, it is both reassuringand humbling to daily observe the men of a destroyer as they carry out their duties while serving their ship and country. A 2100 ,ton destroyer has a minimum of creature comforts, requires extended hours for watches, maintenance, and'repair, and as has been true of the sea for centuries, provides an inherent element of.danger in all required evolutions. Yet COGSWELI. could not have made the initial transit from San Diego to Subic Bay if her crew had observed an eight-hour working day, or shied away from hard work performed under con- ditions of extreme heat, or cold. Her record for this deployment is a tribute to the modern destroyer man, who refutes the theory that all modern youth are soft, lack discipline, and refuse to work or accept responsibility. To me, the high point of this deployment must be the men of COGSWELI., and what they- did for their country during the WESTPAC deployment of 1965. It will be a, cherished memory' for the rest of my life. ... LCDR P.R. BYRD f ins.:-pw ??5WWf11 .t ,f 0 if 1 Our Social Director Our Counselor I TRODUCING THE X.0.

The destroyer was named in honor of Rear Admiral and Captain Cogswell. During WW II the COGSWELL participated in the first bom- bardment of Kwajalein. In mid-February 1944 she participated in the first air strike on Truk and the Marianas Islands. She participated in supporting operations during the seizure and oc- cupation of Aitape and I-lollandia, New Guinea. She helped provide air support for the landings on Saipan, Tinian and Guam. In August 1944 the ship took part in the carrier air strikes against Iwo Jima and Chichi Jima. One of her assignments was to screen and escort damaged vessels from the theatre of operations to their home base. The COGSWELL was participating in a series of air strikes against Tokyo, Kure, Kobe, northern Honshu and Hokkaido in August 1945 when Japan offered to accept terms of unconditional surrender. In January, 1946, COGSWELL was placed out of commission in the ,Atlantic Reserve Fleet. Following her recommissioning in June 1951 the COGSWELL participated in NATO operations Mainbrace and LQngstep. ln 1953 she participated in a seven month round-the-world cruise. In December 1954 she was transferred to Destroyer Squadron 21 in the Pacific. In February 1955 she participated' in the evacuation of the Tachen Islands and the Formosa Patrol for which she received the China Service Medal. The COGSWELL has deployed regularly to WESTPAC and visited such ports as Australia, the Fiji Islands, Manus, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines and Korea. OFFICERS Back Row: ENS. S. F.

On the morning of June the 4th, l965, the USS COGSWELL DD-651, as in years past, was underway again for her sojourn to the Western Pacific. As we pulled away from the pier in San Diego our families and friends were there to wish us smooth sailing and God's speed. One could observe the thoughts of prolonged separation as witnessed by the red eyes and quiet reservations of all personnel on board. However, having passed Point Loma and having waved good by to those lingering few at the lighthouse, our minds and bodies soon turned to the tasks of main- taining the material readiness of the ship while transiting the Big Blue. Wait Until Gillette Hears About Thisl What D0 YOU Mean WANTED POSTER? Yes, It Does Itchl Travel along with us then, as we relive the COGSWELIJS cruise, and share with us our joys and sorrows, our triumphs and our tragedies. The first leg of our trip took us North via the Great Circle route, des- tination Subic Bay, Philippines. CTG 70.8 was our boss and with the USS GALVEST ON CLG-3 as our guide We plotted our Way against stormy weather and rough seas. All was not Underway as Before, however, as we found time for Bingo, Beards, andl-Iarm's Way. On the business end we exercised at casualty control drills, loading drills, and General Quarters, realizing that anyone of these evolutions might sometime during the trip help us save our ship. On the 16th of June we officially became a part of the mighty Seventh Fleet and had completed more than half of our trip to Subic Bay. Heading in a Southerly direction, we began to notice the increase in the air tem- perature, and before long our foul weather jackets and parkas were soon traded for Tee-shirts and sunny skies. af if .

After taking care of the many berthing tasks involved, the duty section was waved good by and the lucky two-thirds made their way into the thriving metropolis of Olongapo, in search of new friends and old cousins. Looking back at our 18 day journey across the Pacific, Do You Remember ....... When you felt just a little sea-sick? When you couldn't walk on the main deck because of the rough weather? When you hit the rack on Friday ll June and woke up on Sunday 13 June? When yoqu ?saw the Island of Batan on the 2lst of June, the first land you had seen in over two wee s .mf-mmf i Q x . .

It was on the morning of the 24th of August that the KNOX gently slid back off the reef, thanks to the COGSWELL's 34 KT. parallel runs. The COGSWELL had again shown its capability to cope with any situa- tion that arose and all could be proud of their efforts. At 20 KTS. it didn't take long to reach the outer harbor of Hong Kong and on the morning of the 24th of August we saw that great city, perched on the coast ofCommunist China like a fat canary on the shoulder of a tom-cat. I-long Kong means Fragrant Harbor and we could not refrain from being impressed by the striking beauty despite the thousands of tar- paper shacks which scar the Manhattan-sized island. Our visits to well known places like Tiger Balm Bardens with its extensive array of grotesque human and animal forms, the fishing village of Aberdeen containing world famous floating restaurants, Kowloon and Hong Kong with their countless street stalls and small shops displaying carved ivories and wood, cloth and clothes for the purchase of the travelers in one of the world'sffew re- maining free ports will always be remember- ed. lt was also our pleasure to be visited by Miss Ethel Merman, renowned celebrity of stage and screen. Our visit to Hong Kong was cut short, however, when Hurricane Rose started heading toward Hong Kong and we had to leave on short notice, leaving much un- finished business on the beach, as well as laundry and those last minute gifts which we never had a chance to purchase. As we pulled out of Hong Kongharbor on the 3rd of Septem- ber, threading our way in and out among the sandpans, Do You Remember............... Those 8 pairs of skivvies you left behind? Those evenings you spent at places like the Neptune Club and the World of Suzie Wong? Those great dinners which included Shark's Fin Soup, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Chinese Tea? Those frustrating moments when you hurried- ly tried to convert Hong Kong dollars into American values to see if the price was right?

The 12th of September is a date long to be remembered by the men of the COGSWELL as it was on this day that all the training and preparation paid off in the rescue of five men from the sea who had crashed after taking off from the INDEPENDENCE. Quick thinking and fast reflexes prevented what could have been a great tragedy.

Our main jobduring this evolution was harbor defense and each evening we were underway to patrol the outer mouth of the harbor, in search of suspicious fishing boats. The COGSWELL was also on hand to On the 22nd of September the COGSWELL added another feather to her cap by rescuing a Vietnam pilot out of the harbor after he hailed- out of his crippled air craft. The COOSWELIJS action prompted the following praise from RADM Dubois: COGSWELL's PROMPT AND SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY ON 22 SEPTEMBER, MARKING THE SECOND conduct gun fire support missions and was called on several times to supply fire power for the Marines at various strategic points in the inland sections. DaNang could certainly not be classified as a liberty port, but a select few did manage to get into the town to pick up gifts and souvenirs for their divisions. SUCCESSFUL RESCUE IN AN ELEVEN DAY PERIOQIS..-A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF. WELL DONE TO ALL HANDS CONCERNED, PARTICULARLY TO YOUR PILOT RESCUE TEAMS FOR BRINGING CREDIT TO THEM- SELVES AND THE DESTROYER FORCE FOR THEIR ALERT AND PROFESSIONAL ACT- IONS. ' The COGSWELL remained in DaNang for the remainder of September and on the 2nd of October was relieved by the USS MULLANY was Harbor Defense-Ship. Setting a southerly course again, the COGSWELL headed back to her favorite port, Subic Bay. On the 5th of October the ship moored port side to the USS ISLE ROYALE at Subic Bay for what was to be one of the most profitable upkeep periods while in WESTPAC. During this period We were again visited by our Operation Schoolhouse children. We, as their sponsors, gave them a grand tour of the ship plus luncheon with all the trimmings. 'VO- On the lOth of August we were back in Subic Bay, eagerly preparing ourselves for the next lap of our journey, Hong Kong! It was during this inport period in which we presented our San Miguel school children with a check for Operation School House, and with books and school materials for Operation Handclaspf' This money which was so generously given by the crew will be used to give these children the education which they so fittingly deserve. We will never forget their shy and quiet ap- preciation and they will never forgetthe gen- erosity shown by the men of the COGSWELL. . .. f I ls' it The 25th of October found the COGSWELL -in Type Training around the local operation areas of Subic Bay. Originally we were scheduled to leave for the United States after this evolution but a revision to our schedule smashed all hopes of an early arrival. This was a great dis- appointment to us all, but being proud Destroyermen we tackled our new assignment with great eagerness, determined-.tto fulfill our obligation to the highest degree. During the week of October 31 to November 6, the COGSWELL steamed up and down the coast of Vietnam, ready at any time to answer a request for gunfire support. And answer we did. Cape Batangan, Cape Sahoi, and Van Fong Bay will long be remembered as the areas of our highest concentrated firing. Day and night we fired into these areas, squeezing off round after round at Viet Cong concentrations. The days were long and quite tiring but we found satisfaction in the fact that our accurate gunfire hit the targets time after time. The Marines knew that when they saw the hull numbers ,651 steaming in to provide gunfire support that everything was going to be business. Our Big Guns had quite a reputation at the end of the week, and it was well deserved. Late on the 6th of November the COGSWELL steamed silently into DaNang Harbor to relieve the USS MASON and begin her second term as Harbor Defense Ship. DaNang had been a pretty hot spot during the weeks prior to our arrival but during our four day patrol we experienced no incidents and had no gunfire support missions. The Atlantic coast destroyer USS BACHE DD-470 relieved the COGSWELL on the afternoon of the l6th of November. After transferring machine guns and flak jackets we bid our farewell to DaNang and proceeded North, destination Sasebo, Japan. After one day at sea, tropical storm Elaine became quitea thorn in our side and we lost two days of Sasebo liberty due to the delay in transit. At times we were forced to make speeds much lower than our movement schedule called for, and even then the ship took a rough beating. Gear which was not properly stowed did not last long and masking tape and small stuff were both at a very high premium. After rolling and pitching our way North for over a thousand miles, Sasebo, Japan couldn't have looked better. lt was also at this time that the ship received three months of Hostile Fire Pay and with this windfall came the purchase of many sets of china, crystal, and silverware. Six motorcycles also found their way on board, and all these items, plus many stereo sets, amplifiers and speakers all added up to a very weighty sum. A With all our bounty safely secured in handling rooms, gear lockers and passageways, we departed Sasebo for Yokosuka, Japan to pick up those last minute souvenirs and top-off prior to outchopping from the Seventh Fleet. On the Zlst of November we were moored in Yokosuka, Japan. . The 22nd of November was a day which we all were anticipating very much because it was on this day that the COGSWELL began herullong journey back to her home port, San Diego, California, via Midway Island and Pearl Harbor.

Bottom photo: Japanese wrestlers - - pretty rough boys. 62L.e fan! of fke riding dun H One of the memorable sights of our cruise was the size and majesty of ,Iapan's famed Mount Fuji. While in transit to the United States, the COGSWELL was accompanied by fair skies, following seas and one 70 foot whale which we put a gig into after giving him an pretty hard bump. These were our only companions however, as the other units of our division returned with other task groups. On the 30th of November, with the island of Midway far behind, the warm, white beaches and rolling surf of Honolulu, Hawaii beckoned us to tarry for a day in the Islands of Paradise. On the morning of December l the COGSWELL was again underway, beginning the last lap of her transit to the United States. Each day, as the miles to our home port decreased, we waited with eager anticipation and the reported cases of Channel Fever grew worse and worse every day. On the morning of December 6 the COGSWELL rounded Point Loma and headed into San Diego Harbor, six months and two days having elapsed since our departure. The success of the cruise can best be expressed by the following messages which were received by the COGSWELL during her deployment: FROM COMDESDIV 212 TO COGSWELL: CONSIDER COGSWELL'S RESPONSE ON SHORT NOTICE TO HAVING FLAG ON- BOARD HIGH COMMENDABLE.
