The first DENVER, cruiser No. 14. was commissioned on 17 May 1904 and was commanded by Navy Commander J.B. Murdock. DENVER participated in the burial of John Paul Jones at the Naval Academy, and the September Fleet Review by President Theodore Roosevelt. The ship was re- classified as a gunboat (CL-16) in 1921. The second DENVER (CL-58) was commissioned on 15 October 1942 and was commanded by Navy Captain R.B. Carney. The new cruiser first saw action in the bombard- ment of Vila, Solomon Islands, on 6 March 1943. During the same action, DENVER ' S force sank two Japanese des- troyers and participated in the invasion landing of New Georgia. DENVER participated in several operations throughout the remainder of 1943 and throughout most of 1944. She returned to the Philippines in 1945, providing sup- port for various operations. DENVER received eleven battle stars during the war. DENVER HISTORY 27

Chief Engineer LCDR M. Bennett, USN One of the most demanding billets aboard ship is that of the Engineering Officer. He is responsible to the com- manding officer for the cleanliness, preservation and readiness of the ship ' s main propulsion plant, electric pow- er plant, auxiliary machinery, piping systems, damage con- trol, interior communications system, the ship ' s hull and ship wide material and equipment repair. He ensures that the required training to maintain these areas of his respon- sibility occurs. On 24 May in Subic Bay, R.P., LCDR George Admire relieved his duties as Engineering Officer to LCDR Michael Bennett. LCDR Bennett quickly showed his expertise by leading the Engineers in winning the COMTHIRDFLT Self- sufficient ship of the week award while returning home to San Diego. We say goodbye to a fine Chief Engineer and welcome aboard an outstanding replacement. Chief Engineer 29
