AMERICA ' S BATTLE GROUP The 1989 America ' s Battle Group was composed of Commander Cruiser Destroyer Group Two, Com- mander Destroyer Squadron Twenty Two, USS AMERICA (CV-66), USS DALE (CG-19), USS MO- BILE BA Y (CG-53K USS COMPTE DE GRASSE (DD- 974), USS LAWRENCE (DDG-4), USS JOSEPH HE WES (FF-1078), and USS SEATTLE (AOE-3). DALE was called upon to lead the battle group through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Mediterra- nean Sea, through the Suez Canal into the Indian Ocean, through the Mollocan Straits entering and leaving Singapore, and into the Persian Gulf. USS DALE ' S reputation as the leading New Threat Upgrade guided missile cruiser is unques- tioned. The performance standards set by DALE dur- ing the 1989 Mediterranean Indian Ocean deploy- ment only prove that DALE is the World ' s Finest Cruiser - and proud to lead the way! --JF mmmm 9mm SHIFTS HISTORY TABLE OF CONTFNTS TABLE OF CONTENTS SHIP ' S HISTORY The guided missile cruiser DALE is the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for Commodore Richard Dale, who earned distinction as a naval leader during the American Revolution. By tradition, DALE is an example of outstanding performance. Previous namesakes have met the demanding challenges of na- val service and the present DALE, successor to the fine ships that have borne the name, is proud to carry on this fine tradition. Built at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation in Camden New Jersey, DALE was commissioned on 23 November 1963. Initially assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, DALE completed five major deployments to the Far East between 1965 and 1970. Following a one year overhaul for Anti-Air mod- ernization, DALE was assigned to the U.S. ATLANTIC FLEET in December 1971 and homeported in Newport Rhode Island. In 1974, DALE moved to her current homeport of Mayport Florida. As the Mayport Cruiser , DALE made seven major deployments to the Mediterranean Sea before entering Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in January 1987 for a major overhaul. In June 1988, DALEcompleted a very extensive and successful overhaul and returned to sea as the U.S. Navy ' s premier New Threat Upgrade cruiser. Follow- ing a year of intensive exercises and exhaustive pre- parations, DALEdeployed to the Mediterranean Sea on 11 May 1989. 1. Title Page 2. America ' s Battle Group 3. Ship ' s History 4.

As enlisted advisor to the command, the CMC assists the Com- manding Officer in all matters pertaining to welfare, health, mo- rale, and training of enlisted crew members, and advises him on formulation and implementation of changes in policy pertaining to enlisted crew members. AVCM PHELPS mm ■■H GETTING READY Preparing to get underway Before the ship can leave the pier, it must become totally self-sufficient. This means that the ship must supply all it ' s own needs. Down in the firerooms, the BT ' s are lighting fires in the boilers, while up on the bridge, the QM ' s are laying out our track to sea. In CIC, the OS ' s are getting all their equipment and publica- tions ready. The word is passed for all visitors to leave the ship. Finally the brow is lifted and the word is passed, Standby to take in all lines. DEPARTURE FROM MAYPORT UNDERWAY, SHIFT COLORS On the morning of May 11 1989, DALE took in her last mooring line, shifted colors and slowly steamed out of the Mayport basin, headed for the Mediterranean Sea. But for most sailors, it was a bittersweet moment. Although the lure of new countries and ports lay ahead, left behind were the wives, children, families, and girlfriends. Many people faced their first tearful separation from their loved ones. For all, it was guaranteed to be a long six months. mm mmi mimimimm 6 MONTHS TO GO ) mm ' .

But onboard D Lf much work must be done prior to entering port. The special sea and anchor detail is set and all stations are manned. The deck detail lays out all mooring lines for use and the engineers set the restricted maneuvering policy. Up on the bridge, the navigation detail is plotting the ship ' s position while the bridge watch expertly conns the ship. All hands shift into the uniforms of the day. The ship is given one last sweepdown fore and aft as the crew shifts into their dress uniforms and takes their stations to man the rails. CARTAGENA, SPAIN CARTAGENA, SPAIN Cartagena, our first stop dur- ing the cruise, was an industrial city of more than 150,000. Located on Spain ' s Costa Calide , or Warm Coast , the city was once ancient Rome ' s principal trading port in Spain. Plaza del Ayuna- miento , or the town square , was the center of attraction with it ' s beautiful architecture and many shops and restaurants. Roman ruins were located only a short walk from the ship, and were visit- ed by some crew members. The Playa, or beach , only a short walk from the ship, was rather small, but many enjoyed the warm waters of the Mediterranean and bordering sands. The several small cafes and discos kept many busy both day and night. Bar Kentucky , the Miami Bar , pizza with eggs, and the language made Cartagena in- teresting as well as relaxing. ALICANTE, SPAIN ALICANTE, SPAIN Alicante, a resort city of over 250,000 residents, is located on Spain ' s Costa del Sol , or Sun Coast and is a main tourist spot in Northern Europe. A Medieval cas- tle overlooking the harbor is a stark contrast to the modern city below. The beautiful beaches attracted many who swam, played frisbee, or just soaked up the sun. In the city, boutiques and specialty shops gave all a chance to purchase gifts and mementos. Other nearby cities such as historic Valencia, lively Be- nidorm, and relaxing Campello were also visited by crewmembers during our stay. Alicante ' s McDo- nald ' s restaurant was the most pop- ular locale, giving the crew a little taste of home and familiar sur- roundings. Those who partook of the jeep safari tour, witnessed some of Spain ' s unseen countryside and wildlife. ALICANTE, SPAIN mm r Sj m B m m IZMIR, TURKEY IZMIR, TURKEY Izmir Turkey on the Aegean coast was a surprise to the entire crew. The name and location didn ' t sound too prom- ising to anyone. We pulled into the harbor to anchor fully expecting to find an old dusty town reminiscent of the Cas- bah, but instead got first glimpse of a modern, vibrant city of over a million inhabitants, bordered by pine and oak covered mountains. Many North African and Middle Eastern tourists come to shop and trade in Izmir ' s immense bazaars. The seem- ingly endless chain of gold, brass, copper, and woven carpet shops occupy a large portion of the downtown area. Many crewmembers took advantage of the high quality, low priced leather goods sold in shops and factories. Horse drawn carriages were a popular choice of trans- portation for those who desired a better view of the city. Some discovered Izmir ' s seafood restaurants to have quite delightful cuisine served in pleasant surroundings. Our three day visit was made more enjoyable by the many friendly people we encountered throughout the city. For those more inclined to home cooking, two hot spots were the sparkling new Pizza Hut restaurant located near downtown, and the nearby Air Force Exchange. The Air Force personnel stationed there really rolled out the welcome mat for all visiting battle group crewmembers by offering extended hours and an abundance of pizza, American beer and soft drinks, and Baskin Robbin ' s ice cream. Some of our crewmem- bers took the opportunity to use the fine Air Force recreation facilities located just a taxi ride away. EPHESUS, TURKEY Many DALE men took a tour to Ephesus. Highlights of the tour included the ruins of the ancient Roman and Byzantine city, the ruins of the Church of St. John - which St. John found- ed in the first century and where he is entombed, and the house where the Virgin Mary resided after the death of Jesus Christ, now recognized as sacred and hallowed to Christian and Mos- lem religions.

The Suez Canal runs through Egypt, connec- ting the Mediterranean Sea on the north with the Red Sea to the south. The Canal is located along a strip of Egypt which is mostly desert, however, several small cit- ies and towns including one very prettv resort line the western bank of the canal. The history of the Suez is interesting. The orig- inal canal was first begun during the 19th century B.C., or about 3700 years ago. It was gradually lengthened over the years and repaired and rebuilt many times until it was closed in the 8th century .• .D. The modern Suez Canal was built between 1859 and 1869 under the supervision of Ferdinand dc Lessups, who also designed and surveyed the ca- nal. From entrance to exit, the Suez Canal is over 100 miles long and a normal trip takes about twelve hours. It is deep and wide enough for even the larg- est ships and aircraft carriers to pass through. Approximately two-thirds of the way through the canal, the ships anchored in the Great Bitter Lake to allow the northbound convoy to pass. D.ALE took this opportunity to relax by having a Steel Beach picnic on the ship ' s fantail. Hot dogs and hamburgers were grilled out and the crew re- cei ed a little break from the transit. For many of the sailors on D.ALE, this w as their first Suez Safari but for most this would not be their last, as Dale would transit the Suez Canal once more on September 6 1989, at the beginning of our journey home. DIEGO GARCIA, B.I.O.T. DIEGO GARCIA dale ' s first port of call in the In- dian Ocean was Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory, a small is- land 15 miles long and 8 miles wide, located in the center of the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia provided the dale ' s crew with their first break af- ter almost a month at sea since leav- ing Izmir Turkey. Among the activities available on the island were softball and Iron- man Tournaments, swimming, jog- ging, sailing, and almost any other type of recreation imaginable. The six days spent in Diego Gar- cia passed all too quickly and DALE was soon back at sea, plying the wat- ers of the Indian Ocean. Next Stop: SINGAPORE! t- ' - ' ■ -: - SINGAPORE The Lion City i SINGAPORE 4es, day and night! k ' - ' JlHt ' Sl BI. ' Vl SINGAPORE The bustling metropolis of Singapore has over three million inhabitants. This 224 square mile island is South East Asia ' s market place and one of the world ' s major trading and finan- cial centers. Orch ard Road is a true shopper ' s paradise for high tech electronics and compu- ters, cameras, gold and jade jewelry, hand-made and imported clothing, and every manner of goods produced by Asian nations. Singaporians are mostly of ethnic Chinese stock with an intermingling of Malay and immigrant Asians. The populace is extremely hard-working and polite, and very proud of the advanced nation they have developed. Of special interest to many were the magnificent and truly immaculate subway system - for some, their first time on a modern urban subway, and the fascinating Chinatown. Cui- sine could be found for almost any taste, from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Italian, French, to McDonald ' s, Burger King, Pizza Hut and even a Long John Silver ' s. Many of us departed Singapore with new electronic gadgets, or other gifts for our loved ones, and with fondness for a great visit to a fine city.

Bird ' s Away The highlight of any underway period is a live weap- ons firing, whether it be a missile, torpedo or small arms. As the N avy ' s premier New Threat Upgrade Cruiser, DALE has been given the chance many times to test her missile systems. Another opportunity arose during our deploy- ment to demonstrate our abilities to defend the battlegroup during a live firing exercise during National Week 89. Following many long hours of preparation, DALE was ready to prove once and for all who was the best missile shooter in the battlegroup. As expected by everyone on- board, DALE emerged victorious but still extended a job well done to the runner-up, our own MOBILE BAY. BIRDS AWAY!

It ' s time for everyone ' s favorite holiday or weekend activity, the fantail cookout, that STEEL BEACH PICNIC. The cooks have been up since last night, thawing the meat, making the beans and potato sal- ad, baking the buns. The sizzle of the meat on the grill catches the ear - the sweet smell of barbecue chicken fills the nose, makes the mouth water. Come as you are? Well let me see: shorts, tank top, some suntan oil, sneakers, maybe a hat, oh yeah - my radio and some tunes to keep me company! Finding a spot to catch some rays, we relax and wait for the meal to begin. Queue up, get a paper plate; I ' ll take chicken, a hot dog, some beans, salad, a glass of bug juice with ice, and a couple of napkins. Man this is good, too bad we can ' t do this every day. m m FANTAIL COOKOUT .A.? tkS Hi .«:! HUMP DAY! Hump day marks the exact middle of the cruise. Once this day passes, we are over the hump and the cruise is all downhill from that point on. For DALE, hump day fell on Friday 11 August 1989 while the ship was in the Per- sian Gulf. Both on DALE, and back home in Mayport, special celebrations were being held to mark this special day of the ship ' s deployment. HALF WAY HOME! Back in Mayport, the ship ' s wives and families got together at the Jackson- ville Zoo and had a picnic. A video tape of the picnic was made and sent to the ship, along with all sorts of baked goodies. Onboard DALE, a celebration was held on the messdecks, and gifts from home were distributed to the crew. The crew also made a video tape for the wives and families and sent it home.

The boatswain ' s mates are the experts in deck seamanship, from line and boat handling to painting and preservation. ■— ri. OPERATIONS EVOLUTIONS m Because our Operations Specialists watch the radar scopes, we see the sea and skies. Because the Radiomen operate the radio gear, we are in touch. Because the Signalmen flash code, we can talk without speaking. From boat rescues to watchstanders who scan the sea, from underway refueling to small boat and helicopter operations that move cargo and people, from ship driving to shipboard navigation to chart our path, the men of the Operations department are involved in many important evolutions daily, and with pride!

While at sea, flight quarters is an almost daily occur- rence for a deployed ship. DALE depends on helicopters to provide many supplies that would otherwise have to wait until DALE replenished at sea or returned to port. Hel- icopters provide a variety of items including routine sup- plies, repair parts for equipment, food and almost anything else you can imagine which can be carried in or under a helicopter. But the single most important item delivered by helicopter is mail, Pony in Navy lingo. Probably no other word passed gets the crew as excited as hearing that the next helicopter has Pony onboard. But flight quarters isn ' t all fun. From the bridge, where the watch team is computing the proper course to steer and ensuring that the checklist is complete, down to the fantail where the flight deck crew is preparing to receive the heli- copter, DALE sailors are hard at work. Gear has to be bro- ken out, equipment tested and proper safety clothing donned. The motor whaleboat must be manned. The flight quarters fire-fighting detail stands by, just in case. The flight quarters detail must be prepared for any occurrence, whether it be something as routine as refueling a helicopter that is low on fuel or an emergency such as a crash on deck. But another flight quarters is completed, uneventfully and the crew secures the detail . . . Until the next time. FLIGHT QUARTERS Ff itmn iSimKsmmgsmmafm lM •V ' .VV UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT A ship at sea needs constant supplies while under- way in order to remain operational. Unlike back home, where you can just jump in the car and drive down to the nearest supermarket or gas station DALE cannot pull into port every time she needs fuel or food. Instead, the Navy sends the supermarket to us. In most cases, the supermarket was the U.S.S. SEATTLE the replen- ishment ship assigned to our battle group. Underway replenishment is one of the most haz- ardous evolutions that a ship accomplishes. Replenish- ments can occur at anytime of the day or night, regard- less of the weather or sea conditions. Danger exists when two ships must maneuver side by side, only 120 to 140 feet apart, while all the supplies are transferred by hose or wire cable from the sender to the receiver. Underway replenishments or Unreps are an all hands evolution. To transfer the enormous amounts of food and parts requires all hands to help. The supplies are taken directly from the deck and passed hand over hand by a human chain until it reaches the ship ' s mess- decks. Here the supplies are sorted based upon which storeroom they belong in. Then they are passed by an- other chain of sailors down to the proper storeroom. It can take three or four hours for all the supplies to be stored in their proper locations. At the same time that supplies are being trans- ferred, the ship is also receiving fuel from the supply ship. During a normal Unrep, DALE will receive be- tween 150,000 and 200,000 GALLONS of fuel, enough for several more days of sustained movement.

As a ship approaches the equator, Davey Jones comes aboard, inspects, and notifies all trusty shell- backs onboard of their sworn responsibility. The slimy novices known as pollywogs must prepare a beauty pageant and kennel show and select a lovely wench and canine champion for his royal highness ' approval and amusement. The next morning strangely attired pollywogs emerge and are escorted first to a meal befitting them, and then to the foc ' sle for disciplining. As they grovel toward the royal court, the polly- wogs endure indignities worthy of their low stature before finally being summoned to court. King Neptune ' s justice served, the pollywogs are baptized and designated shellbacks - finally! Hah, those shellbacks will never catch me alive! Yes, your highness. Pollywogs, hundreds of them!

SHELLBACKS FOREVER! m PALMA DE MALLORCA Palma de Mallorca, Spain, the world famous resort spot is often filled with European and North American tourists who arrive via jet and cruise liner. Located off of Spain ' s Mediteranean coast, Palma boasts some of Eu- ropes most beautiful beaches, many, many hotels and resorts, literally ten thousand bars, pubs, and night clubs, and a great multitude of fine restau- rants. Those seeking the active, vibrant vacation are drawn to Palma Nova ' s numerous beach resorts and pubs, and to Magalluf with it ' s glittering night life - all night long, and English pubs. Old Palma is centered around the Gothic cathedral and surrounding castle, pool, and fortifications - struc- tures many centuries old. The many parks and plazas feature adjacent shops and boutiques for the discriminating buyer, and many sidewalk cafes and pubs where one can relax and socialize. For many, Palma was the high point of this deployment ' s port visits. PALMA DE MALLORCA BIZERTE, TUNISIA Bizerte, (pronounced BAN-ZART), is locat- ed northwest of Tunis - capital of the North Af- rican nation of Tunisia. Bordered by Algeria and Libya, Tunisia is quite rich historically. Once a great world power, nearby Carthage was home to Hannibal, the brilliant general who crossed the Alps on elephants and attack- ed Rome. Eventually defeated and sacked by Roman legions, Tunisia contains many ruins from pre- Roman times which many tourists visit daily. Tunisia is well known for leather and metal craftsmanship and contains many bazaars where all manner of goods can be purchased. While in Bizerte, Dale provided various el- ements of the Tunisian navy with training and instruction in damage control, comms, and en- gineering. The visit to Bizerte was a departure from traditional port visits, an experience. P01MESS BBQ ' MM 9HP I HPP ' MHHI ■ iHi H . B ■BM I v i K5 ' ' HiiiyifiiBi H - — ■ f - l 1 .

Others are aspiring profes- sionals who possess sophisticated cameras, lenses, and film for taking portfolio shots or maybe to sharpen their skills. While we will not attempt to decide who has bette r results, we will present a portfolio of photographs taken by our own crew members. Those whose photos were selected can be proud of their skills and have a right to brag. Re- gardless of type of equipment, anyone can take a photo that is pleasing to the eye. i J 1 HRLe I s Pi E 3 5 PHOTO GALLERY PHOTO GALLERY PHOTO GALLERY PHOTO GALLERY PHOTO GALLERY mmm ' m. COMING HOME! We traveled many thousands of miles, from Flor- ida, through Suez, to Singapore and back. We led the battle group through the Suez Canal. We rid the ship of countless slimy pollywogs. We braved oppressive heat and imminent danger in the Persian Gulf. We out shot the Aegis. We proudly displayed the U.S. flag on three continents. We proved to three fleets that DALE is truly the world ' s finest cruiser. To say the cruise was success- ful would be an understatement. DALE is again the best of the best. November 10 dawned and our collective minds were not on achievements, acco mplishments, or laurels. Hey look, we ' re coming home! After 182 days - 141 spent at sea, 2 Million gallons of fuel, many thousands of miles and countless meals served and watches stood, we ' re home! The day, sunny and warm (maybe a gift from above). The DALE, spotless - clean pressed uniforms, gotta look my best ' cause we ' re coming home! Nervous? Not me! There ' s the pier, 1 can ' t see them. Necks craning, binoculars, big-eyes. There they are! I can see them now! Wow, how they ' ve grown! She ' s never looked lovelier! It sure is good to be home! COMING HOME! wmmmmmfmm HOME AT LAST! iki wa Wei m- i Ki toi A M HOME AT LAST!

We are sometimes called to assist, and sometimes called to show our best at some function or another. These things we do out of enjoyment, or out of a sense of duty. As long as we put our best foot forward and act like a credit to our country, we do well, and we might just feel good about it, too. At left. Commanding Officer of CG-19, USS DALE, presents a check representing crew- member donations to the United States Am- bassador in Tunisia, for the benefit of a little girl who desperately needed an expensive operation. BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE 1989 CRUISEBOOK STAFF When one begins to put a cruisebook together, he is struck by contrast: the high ex- pectations of perfection, and the fear of failure. This has been indeed a challenge: to plan, to execute, to drop back and regroup, to change on the fly, and after enduring so many delays, to complete it. Without the efforts of CE and CD divisions, who helped pro- duce this book, and the support of those who gave us photos, we would have failed. We have gathered all avail- able material and formed a me- mento of the 1989 cruise. One day you may open this book and fondly recall good friends, and good times of years past. We sincerely hope you enjoy reading and glancing at it, as much as we have enjoyed pre- senting it to you.
