Beary, USN, whose genius was largely re- sponsible for the revolutionary success of mobile underway replenishment leading to victory in the Pacific during World War II. She is the eighth ship of the JOSEPH HEWES class of frigate specially designed for detecting and destroying ene- my submarines, but also capable of effective performance of missions of search and rescue, patrol, evacuation, blockade, surveillance, shore bombardment, and anti-air warfare. DONALD B. BEARY is equipped with the most recent advances in underwater sound detection equipment (SO- NAR), communications, and radar equipment. The ship fea- tures an integral bow-mounted long range sonar, variable depth sonar, a tactical towed array and active gyro-stabiliza- tion which provides DONALD B. BEARY with increased sea-worthiness and anti-submarine warfare capability over previous classes of frigates. The principle armament is the homing torpedo, which can be delivered at long range by the anti-submarine rocket (ASROC) or launched from torpedo tubes on the ship. The HARPOON missile system is installed for anti-ship warfare. The 5-inch 54 caliber gun mounted for- ward provides for anti-aircraft defense. It is also effective for shore bombardment in support of forces many miles inland and against surface targets. The ship has a flight deck and hangar facility for an anti-submarine configured LAMPS (Light Airborne Multipurpose Systems) helicopter. DONALD B. BEARY is powered by a single five-bladed propeller, driven by a 35,000 shaft horsepower steam turbine and is capable of speeds in excess of 27 knots. Two boilers provide superheated steam at 1200 pounds per square inch pressure. DONALD B. BEARY was built by Avondale Shipyards, Incorporated, at Westwego, Louisiana. Her keel was laid on 24 July 1970, and she was launched 22 May 1971. Mrs. Mary L. Beary, widow of Admiral Beary, is the ship ' s sponsor. Since commissioning the DONALD B. BEARY has par- ticipated in numerous major overseas deployments. Several were to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and some were to the Middle East and Indian Ocean. DONALD B. BEARY operates out of her home port of Norfolk, Virginia where she conducts fleet operations as part of Destroyer Squadron Ten within Cruiser-Destroyer Group Eight, Naval Service Force, United States Atlantic Fleet. ABOUT THE SHIP ' S INSIGNIA The arms of DONALD B. BEARY, designed from ideas of the ship ' s company, is composed of elements from the Beary family crest and symbols of modern naval technology. The upper portion of the insignia depicts the silhouette of the FF 1078 class ship. The Trident of Neptune portrays sea power, while the key symbolizes knowledge. The traditional coat of arms of the Beary family is repre- sented on the lower portion of the insignia. The family coat of arms consists of three bear ' s heads, a symbol of ferocity. The scalloped line separating the upper and lower por- tions of the insignia represents the waves of the ocean and signifies travel, adventure, and spirit. The body of the insignia symbolizes, therefore, the union of the Beary family name with the sea, and the Frigate named in honor of Vice Admiral Beary. The double edged key and trident symbolize the marriage of knowledge and sea power, which characterized the career of Vice Admiral Beary, and its application to today ' s Navy. The line of the sea which sym- bolizes travel, adventure, and spirit is representative of the life of Vice Admiral Beary, and a promise to those who sail on FF 1085. The Latin words PRUDENTIA-ANIMUS-FORTI- TUDO translate to KNOWLEDGE-SPIRIT-VALOR. These three words characterized the life and achievement s of Vice admiral Beary, and represent a standard for all who serve on FF 1085. COMMANDER THOMAS P.

Ot- (IC) Mac The Hole Snipe ' s Lament Now each of us from time to time has gazed upon the sea, and watched the warships pulling out, to keep this country free. And most of us have read a book, or heard a lusty tale, About the men who sail these ships, through lightning, wind and hail. But there ' s a place within each ship that legend fails to teach. It ' s down below the waterline, it takes a heavy toll, ) + ,-, v j q t- A hot metal living hell that sailors call the hole. ' ' ' It houses engines run by steam, that makes the shaft go round, ll j Q fl S A place of fire, noise, and heat, the beats your spirits down. , , Where boilers like a hellish heart with blood of angry steam. Are molded gods without remorse, are nightmares in a dream. Whose threat that from fires roar is like living doubt. That any minute would with scorn, escape and crush you out. Where turbines scream like tortured souls, alone and lost in hell. As ordered from above somewhere, they answer every bell The men who keep the fires lit and make the engines run. Are strangers to the would of night and rarely see the sun. They have no time for fun, no tolerance for fear. Their aspect pays no living thing the tribute of a tear. For there ' s not much that men can do that these men haven ' t done, Beneath the decks, deep in the hole, to make the engines run. For if the fires ever fail, their ship ' s a useless shell. . i i v  . w : P 1_ When ships converge to have a war upon an angry sea. The men below just grimly smile at what their fate might be. They ' re locked in below like men fore doomed, who have no battle cry, It ' s well assumed that if they ' re hit the men below will die. For every day ' s a war down there when all the gauges read red. Twelve hundred pounds of heated steam can kill you mighty dead. So if you ever write their sons or try to tell their tale. The very words would make you hear a fired furnace wail. And people as a general rule, don ' t hear of men of steel. So little ' s heard about this place that sailors call the hole. But I can sing about this place and try to make you see. The hardened life of men down there, cause one of them is me. nee 23 Front Row: FN Johnson, MMFA Hughes, MMFN Stewart, MMFN Clarke Middle Row: MM3 McConnell, MM3 Hathcock, f MMFA McDonald, MM2 Caldwell Back Row: MM3 Dyches, MM3 Burdick, EN3 Albright, ENl Houlton, MMl Anderson, | MMl Ramirez ' - : ' --.aar T-i m.
