X mnnmnslgnn.-M ' T n November of 1968 the towering crosstrees were 'the only identifiable objects on DURHAM as she rested pierside with her sister-ship, CHARLESTON ILKA-1131 in the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company Shipyards. Everywhere trees were- thin- ning in the anticipation of the winter months, but in the shipyard one couldn't tell if it were late fall or early spring. The clanging bells of yard cranes drowned the season's sounds and factory smells. concealed the incense of burning leaves. I Shipyard workers scurried across DURHAM s decks like bees, carrying their tools into her superstructure, honeycombing her levels with compartments. Welding Where it all began rods and coke cans cluttered the corners. Wiring dangled from the overheads waiting to be connected. Metal shavings collected on the decks under miles of estranged scaffolding. The sailors who wandered about DURHAM then, with their green shipyard passes, were members of the nucleus crew, which numbered approximately 76 by the end of November. IC1 George Meiser is reputed to have been the first person to have reported to the DURHAM in early July, 1968. It was rumored in November that the ship would be commissioned in January. The two month interim lengthened into almost a year of shore duty for George and into an expanded training program for the Precommissioning Detail. Crew members being received for DURHAM were routed to Newport News and Norfolk Naval Base. The nucleus crew resided in Newport News and were under the supervision of DURHAM's prospective Commanding Officer, Captain John D. Stensrud. They were the technicians and overseers of the work being accom- plished by the shipyard. They served as instructors, also, for the balance crew and put a considerable amount of time into the writing of the necessary departmental organizational manuals and guides. The offices for the nucleus crew were located on the third floor of a small red brick building at the end of 33rd Street, just outside the shipyard. Not far from there many of the crew rented their apartments on Dresdin Drive. lt was a comfortable time for most of them, receiving per diem they had to find ways of spending and breaking at 1000 and trotting over to the Triangle or Capital restaurants for lunch. Everyone probably remembers Retha at the Triangle and Skinny Faye and Fat Faye fNumber one and number two Fayel at the Capital. They did a lot of partying. Mike Watchinski and John Carlton hosted one practically every weekend in their Aug. 7, 1967 apartment. When asked about those parties one day, John answered in a daze, as if the question had taken him all the way back to Newport News, All the women a man could ever want in his whole life . . . oh, me. Mike Watchinski and Jim Atkins had their weddings in Newport News. information on Mike's wedding has been recently declassified for publication. Those who attended may remember how he carried his wife over the threshold. There wasn't any tradition involved . .. she just drank a little too much at the reception and had to be helped across. BM2 Stan Harris can attest that the jails in Newport News are deathly cold. He had occasion to spend a night in one on a roll of toilet paper when the police picked him up in a diner for being intoxicated. Stan had seen them come in and started out. He casually lighted a cigarette and flicked it into his mouth, only the wrong end went in and the police quietly led Stan away. He never received a balloon or blood test, and certainly tried to contest his confinement, but he had burned his tongue so badly that it was painful for him to talk intelligibly. Looking back on Newport News seems ancient to most. To some, though, the interim has just been so many yesterdays. lt's ancient when you think of BT2 John Greene or Carl Moe Mohowitsch. lt's yesterday when you're down in the hole joking with Rocky fHarold Roussel, Jr.l and Stack fAIlan Sztuczko.l N9WDOrt News was when WO1 Dave Morton had just 6 125cc Honda, and was falling off it just as often. lt was when Stack happened to see LCDR John Woods in the back of the Book Store down the street from the Excel, the one that usually had the sign on the door, Closed-in court. lt was when Stack and Dave Morton took an fishing trip to Lake Maury, which was to have been filmed by the television series, Sports Spectacular . . . or so Stack told BT1 Ersul Sowers' wife. She stayed Dec.26g1967 U C up for the show and was sincerely disappointed when she didn't see them or the white marlin they said they would catch. The balance crew was another segment of DUB- HAlVl's crew, which, unlike the nucleus crew, was composed of mostly new people, Seaman Apprentices directly out of boot camp and six Ensigns fresh out of Officer Candidate School. Balance crew members check- ed into the Fleet Training Center, Norfolk Naval Base. There, in Building N-30, the majority of their training was received. They numbered 163 at the end of November. Under the prospective Executive Officer, Commander John l. Bradbury, the balance crew was organized into shipboard divisions and departments and carried out all administrative functions of the ship. Here were located the personnel and dispersing offices, and the infamous barracks K. Barracks K was an antiquated building that pre-dated most of the men living in it. The reading room could only be used for watching television after the sun went down due to a lighting problem. When the television was secured at 2330, everyone mustered down in the Chief lVlaster at Arms office to catch the late shows on his set. Few of us would admit to ever having called it home, but no one can forget the times which were had there. One time in particular was the incident involving the Naval Investigating Service. They had become suspicious of the use of the attic in the barracks after a several week observation through the attic window. One day, unbeknown to the command they entered the attic and placed several people in custody. The empty beer cans which were found and the psychedelic decor led to the suspicion of the use of drugs especially marijuana. A hastily conducted locker inspection revealed only some incomplete sea bags and a few questionable photo- graphs As a result of the incident though several persons were placed on report and things became so l l l .

He lighted a can of paste wax polish, but let it burn too long and couldn't put the fire out. Grabbing one of the old foam-type fire extin- guishers off the wall, he opened it up on the spreading fire. The fire was quickly put out, but the extinguisher couldn't be, until it completely emptied itself of its contents. To just about everyone on the south side of the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel Bridge, Tidewater Area was a household word heard on every news broadcast and used at least once in every third sentence. After several months the crew became more familiar with certain clubs in this area, which were occassioned more often than others. Those of us with wheels and money made it into Virginia Beach, The World's Largest Resort Area. Here were the Peppermint Beach Club, Rogues Gallery the Golden Garter, art shops, sandal makers, and miles of open beaches. Those of us with wheels and money but less incentive, crowded the Jolly Roger on Wesf Ocean View Money but no wheels Louie s by Gate Two No wheels and little money The Aerodrome or the Tradewinds Still there were many of the guys who took in a show or went bowling ln town good cider and fresh talent could be had at the Folk Ghetto Further north on Tidewater Drive lVlama s for pizza and Ledo s for ShrDrc2x?vntown Norfolk as a bustling center of social activity left a bit to be desired lt had its hospital its Negro ghetto used furniture stores and pawn shops Its importance and popularity though seemed to rest in its location To the south and west Norfolk was bordered by a legendary and much frequented branch of the James River A bridge to the south took one into Portsmouth where DURHAIVI held her fitting out period North and east roads branched out to the Norfolk Naval Base Newport News Chesapeake Bay Little Creek Amphibious Base Lynnhaven lnlet Fort Story and Virginia Beach lVlany enjoyed Norfolk simply because it was a coastal city lts late autumns could be enjoyed almost through December though it was usually too cold in those late months for more than just a stroll along the beaches When the wind blew at all it was almost a full gale The trees along Ocean View Blvd all had their contorted limbs bent permanently inland by the late season coastal storms By January when the crew had returned from their Christmas leave period it was apparent that the DUR HAlVl would not be ready for delivery in February and maybe not even by lVlarch The Precommlssionlng Detail in view of the number of people who had already reported and the length of time before DURHAIVI would be ready for them launched a broad flexible training program which still accounts for the majority of training the present crew has received Over seventy people were sent TAD lTemporary Additional Dutyl to the USS RANKIN lLKA-1031 USS WRIGHT lCC-21 refrigerated stores ship REGAL destroyer RICKETTS and the USS DEWEY lDLG-141. The RAN KIN left for the Caribbean when there was still snow on the ground in Norfolk while the DEWEY made a Mediterranean cruise The offices in building N-30 slowly emptied as officers, likewise, began filling various school quotas Some of the schools were close enough that the ritualistic nooner cribbage games held in room 222, second deck, building N-30, did not have to be entirely interrupted Of the more regular players lBob Rodriguez, Eric Werner, Bob lVlcGrath, Claude Freaner, Tom lVlartin, and Randy Smithl enough usually showed up with their brown bag lunches to create the normal noise level. The two week Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Warfare school, to which Bob lVlcGrath was sent, put a hurt on his attendance at the games for a couple days. After a brief value judgment, though, he stopped going to school in order to get back to the cribbage circle. No one thought much of it, least of all Bob, until one morning that same week, his two day instructor happened to see him sitting in on a hand. When the crew finally moved on board April 29, 1969, in Portsmouth, people were still being sent to schools, some as far away as San Francisco, California. Between February 1, 1969 and April 25, 1969, over 10,889 man days of training had been held. One man would have had to go to school for almost two full years in order to accomplish the amount of training the balance crew received in less than three months. ln that period, each man graduated from an average of over six different schools. QOCXJ were graduates of shipboard grlemfighting, and 79'X, graduated from Damage Control c oo.

Sophocles i496?- A406802 l All too often we think of ships in terms of hardware. The key ingredients, necessary to make the USS DURHAM an effective unit of the fleet, are the individuals who man this ship. Only trained men--- skilled in performance of duties---dedicated and enthu- siastic---treated with respect and serving with pride have the ability to make this ship perform as intended and an effective unit of the operating forces of the U.S. Navy. Such a ship's force has been assembled. . . A. . .These men will mold her character and establish her service reputation which will extend beyond the time they serve on board. As we take our rightful place with the Amphibious Force they will make her an effective unit of the fleet, and as always, for those of us who make our business of going to sea in ships in the world's finest Navy, some part of the USS DURHAIVI will be with us and our families from this day forward. from the commis- sioning remarks of Captain John D.

The Pacific Fleet Amphibious Force never stopped wonder- ing what the new amphibious cargo ship wou'd be like, but from one month to the next they must have regularly doubted whether they wou d get the chance to see her. Fitting out was a time of preparation. The hull and ,superstructure areas were completely painted out. Other exposed areas such as weather decks were to be painted prior to entering Long Beach. The full anticipation of leaving was probably felt after the successful completion of the Dock Trials.

But California excited everyone to some degree. Each person had his own varied reason, whether it was the sun, women, surf, oranges, or Disneyland. They had all agreed that California was a happening. It was where people were going and they all wanted to see it at least once or once again. . California is the most populated state in the union with over 19,000,000 people. The state was named by the Spanish Conquista- dores, California being the name of an imaginary island near the earthly paradise in Las Sergesde Esplandian , a romance of chivalry written by lVlontalvo in 1510.

The USS DANIELS then played the USS AMERICA and handed them a big loss. Durham went into the last game against the America confident of capturing first place. The America, however, played very well and overpowered the Bulls ina surprising 5-4 upset, which Durham had dominated until the last couple innings.

A TIME OF ENSPE TIGN AND CEREMCNIES... Crewmain Of Durham M S Decorated Seaman Billy Reed tmatthewsf was awarded the Bronze Star, Medal with the Combat V ' and the Purple Heart on board the Amphibious Cargo Ship Dur- ham for his part. in the Upper Saigon River Operation on the night of June 19,'1969. l Matthews was serving as a river boat sniper with the River Division 544 at the time. f His patrol boat heached down, river from a Viet Cong brick factory in an effort to outflank the enemy position. ' While his partner was provid- ing covering fire, 'Matthews crossed the area in front of the enemy position and threw a fragment grenade into the brick factory. i Running for cover, he tripped a booby trap wounding him in both legs. Despite his injury, he continu- ed to fire into the enemy posi2 tion until assistance could ar- rive. Matthews was presented both awards by Capt. John D, Stens- rud, commanding officer of the USS Durham KLKA-1147. The Durham is Matthews' new duty station with Long Beach, Calif., as her home port. .42 hw LL .1..,fy Pfp-4, 5 pg :,A-l,-1393: -, .14 .- ,Jr-J.-mfrx.-5 fl ffl' .:.-5- sf--fn-f.-f --.:..r3Q1r.'-f ',- me. -Ns ,f1: 4A: ax 3124 7. fi2'Z'I?7x2:,f1f , '1'Z'f'r?f'?

W fx 1. ll it 133 :i 'Ubi-E :T ll I nh' fter months in the yards, Durham was reassembled and shifted to pier 9 on the Naval Station. No one realized it then, but the crew was to become very familiar with pier 9. Durham got underway one morning, in the later part of November, for San Diego, where everyone anticipated beginning Refresher Train- ing. She never saw San Diego in November. After several hours at sea it was discovered' that the ship's feed water was contaminated with salt resulting in a potentially dangerous situation. Durham returned to pier 9 the next afternoon and began a series of hit and miss troubleshootings, which were to last through the middle of December. Every couple days a patch, cleaning, or replacement of some believed to be instrumental part would put LKA-114 to sea once more for another steam purity test in the hopes that a permanent fix had been effected. And every couple days she and her frustrated ,crew would return to pier 9 to carry out another normal in-port routine. The ship's engineers put in many long hours and an extreme effort in those few weeks. It was at long last compensated for on 12 December 1969. That day was somehow different from all the other days. Those people, who might be considered in the know exhibited an unusual amount of optimism that day. The word put out at quarters was practically matter of fact. Schedules were laid down with more determination and assurance. When the word came up to the bridge early the next morning that the boilers were making pure steam, for some reason it was no surprise. The ship continued down to San Diego to begin the in-port phase of her Refresher Training, arriving 15 December. There were no organized or implemented training problems that week, though at General Quarters thefcrew got a feel for what might be expected of them when they would return in January.

He flew into the bridge during sea detail, one January morning, bit the Boat- swains IVlate of the Watch lregrettably one Bowen Isaacs BIVl2l when captured and was then ruefully bumped off the bridge wing. He lthe parrotl decided not to associate with the people on the bridge anymore and perched himself on the vang wires of the after 40-ton boom. For two days he accompanied the ship south and finally flew away while the Durham performed mile runs off the coast, just north of San Diego.

USS Durham Cited In 'lifaining Score The amphibious cargo ship USS Durham CLKA-1141 has completed four weeks of re- fresher training in San Diego, Calif., with an overall grade of 'fhigh excellent? The final battle problem was staged in San Diego Harbor due to heavy fog, which had frus- trated many ,of the ship's attempted gun shoots just two days before. Capt. W. E. Hoppe, chief of staff, commander fleet training group, San Diego, and senior observer on board for the final battle problem said, 'fThis is one of the highest overall scores that I have ever seen recommended, while I have been with the Fleet Training Group. Enroute to Long Beach, fol- lowing the arduous battle prob- lem, Durham received the fol- lowing message from the C o m mander Fleet Training Group, San Diego: Overall superior performance in your final battle problem recognized and appreciated as one of the best of recent record. Grades of uoutstandingn were received by weapons and engineering. The weapons officer is Lt. Robert M Whitehead and the main pro- pulsion assistant is WOl David Morton. The deck and engi- neering department heads are Lt. Dennis J. Knutson and Lt. John S. Herrmann, respec- tively. Navigation received a grade of high excellentv, which, according to Capt. Hoppe, would have been an uoutstand- ing', had not policy prevailed. Policy is that Navigation cannot receive a grade of out- standingl' if the battle problem is not conducted at sea. The navigator is Lt. Qigl Eric S. Werner Jr. Capt. Hoppe awarded damage control a grade of 'Sex- cellent , he noted that it was only the third time that year that he had graded a ship find- ing no watertight closure dis- crepancies. No discrepancies were found among the thirty Yoke and Zebra closures checked. The damage control assistant is WO1 Junior L. Cobb. Upon completion of the battle problem, USS Durham left San Diego for Long Beach, where the ship is homeported. Capt. John D. Stensrud, USN, is the first commanding officer of the new ship, which was commissioned on May 24, 1969.

The Fleet Training Center observers came out to the ship and General Quarters was sounded practically before the last observer got on board. General Quarters was followed by condition 1-A. Stations were manned in noticeable confusion and when the word was passed Away All Boats there may have been two boats at the rail. Before all the boats could be lowered to the water H-hour had been postponed three times and over two and one half hours had elapsed in what was Durham's biggest knuckle busting operation ever. , The boats were hauled aboard as difficultly as they were lowered and when the word was passed to secure from condition 1-A, late that evening, several crews remained on station handling lines and securing equipment. l 1 4 . e ' W I? f x lr, ,f ig If F A 5 v u -Q Ofllfx d U X N u- . .. if X a Yi?

The boats, which had been off-loaded in two and one half hours just the day before only made it fifteen minutes faster. Commu- nications between the individual waves and the ship were poor. Wave four, which was the only wave to touch down on time admitted that it was happenstance. It was the 4th or 5th day when the ship performed a 18O . lt is magical to this day as to exactly what happened. Every man on every station. . . every line handler, radarman, signalman, engineer, coxswain and bowhook must have decided to do his thing and do it well. What prevailed was a beautiful team effort. All the boats were water borne just one hour after 1-A had been set. The waves formed up and moved out like a string of mountain climbers. Communications never failed. . .grid posits were tirgely and accurate. The question is. . . were there any survivors? ' Photograph taken by SN Bob Poston f.

Tilley, son of R.L. Tilley of Rt. 5, Durham, is currently serving aboard the USS Durham CLKA-1143 as a floating karate instructor. This is not his main function on the amphibious attack cargo vessel, but as he puts it, When you are out at sea for a long period of time., you can lose some of your skills and tim- ing? During on duty hours, he is the leading petty officer of the forward deck force as captain of Mount 34, one of four 3-inch, 50 caliber guns on the ship. A third degree black belt holder, he is teaching 32 ship- mates Taekwondo Korean Karate. Using the first level of the Durham's second cargo hold for a classroom, he is trying to teach these fellows how to use their bodies as defensive weapons. The hands, fist, palm, feet, elbows, toes, knees, wrists and occasionally the head can be used very effectively by the karate expert. I'm not trying to produce a group of trained killers --just a bunch of guys who know how to take care of themselvesf, he said. The Durham School of Taekwondo has been open for four months and originally started out with 75 students, but a lot of them dropped out because the physical training was too much for themj' Tilley said.

Added to this, the normal process of maturity in the young sailor is given a real shock as he finds himself face to face with making decisions that cannot help but have strong influences on his life-style for years to come. He is thrust into an unbelievable position of freedom, away from family influences that ordinarily make such decisions easy to make.

DA NANG.: For those of the crew who had never been to Viet Nam on previous cruises, Da Nang provoked some eerie and inter- esting sensations. ' T P This was where people were being killed. This was what we were fighting for...what people back home were protesting about. 1 Occasionally a formation of jets screamed overhead and choppers buzzed low oven the top of the water brushing by a variety of shipping in the cluttered harbor. Swift boats pulled alongside small craft, hesitated, and then sped away. And while smoke rose from fire fights in the surrounding hilly ranges, helos dispatched paratroopers in other troublesome areas. Despite these observations the war seemed relatively far away. Off the base, many of the Vietnamese lived under corrugated metal roofing held in place with sand bags. The women washed their hair in basins on the ground outside the dwellings and not infrequently wild dogs were seen roasting over fires in the yard. People lived a little differently, but still went on about their business like any other place in the world.

In the final Phase Three Rede- ployment pickup of 'Marines and cargo from the U.S. Naval Support Activity in Danang the USS DUR- HAM crewmen filled their ship's ample holds with more than 180 vehicles and over 400 tons of bridg- ing and other cargo in an around- the clock evolution that lasted for 36 hours. The vehicles hoisted aboard the 575-foot Charleston -Class LKA ranged from small trailers to a 52-ton M-48 tank. Cargo included hundreds of pieces of bridging equipment and more than 200 pal- lets of other gear. While the vehicles and cargo were going aboard the ship, some 225 Marine officers enlisted men board- ed DURHAM for the trip back to the States. The Marines and their gear made up the last load to go aboard U.S. Seventh Fleet Amphibious Force ships as part of the Phase Three redeployment evolution in which troops, vehicles and cargo were staged out of Danang and Chu Lai for transportation to ports in the continental U.S., Hawaii, Okinawa and Japan. Altogether, 13 major amphibious force ships and nine tank landing ships have loaded out of the two Vietnam ports. They formed six specific redeployment embark units, and some of them lifted cargo indirectly related to the movement of Marines leaving Viet- nam. DURHAM's participation in the redeployment was called by her Commanding Officer, 48-year old Captain John Stensrud of 2721 Voyager Circle, San Pedro, Calif., a postgraduate education for the crew of the new LKA. Commissioned last May at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Va., DURHAM is the second of five newbreed LKA's being built for the Navy and the first of her kind assigned to the Pacific Fleet. The ship steamed into the Pacific last August. Shortly before she be- gan her first trip to WESTPAC, her crew underwent shakedown train- ing and three weeks of amphibious training. For cargo-handling, the ship has 12 booms with a lifting capacity of up to 70 tons. DURHAM's cargo capacity is more than 120,000 cubic feetf Each of her four pri- mary holds can also be reached by six cargo elevators, five with a 4,000 pound capacity and one with a 12,000 pound capacity. ., R iv I ' 45 . in aj F41 A if w. lar..-.. px ,,,,' -.

DURHAM and the other Charles- ton - class LKA's are also the only attack cargo ships that carry big LCM-8 mechanized landing craft- four of them. The ships also have five smaller LCM-6's. DURHAM has a helicopter pad aft capable of landing the CH-53 Sea Stallion, the largest the Navy flies. Her engineering plant can be operated by three men, who stand watch in an air conditioned, enclosed propulsion and operating center. Berthing and messing facilities for all the ship's 400 officers and enlisted crewmen are located in the superstructure, as are similar facil- ities for most embarked troops. DURHAM's capacity for the latter is 211 enlisted men and 15 officers. When she arrived in Danang, DURHAM carried cargo that in- cluded 300 wheelchairs being donated to Vietnamese charity by the' Kathryn Kuhhnan Foundation, Costa Mesa, Calif. The wheelchairs and project Handclasp materials also aboard were offloaded for transfer to agencies in-country that will handle their distribution. The ship is scheduled to make the transit to the U.S. in some 18 days. The Marines and cargo' she carries will be offloaded at San Diego before DURHAM returns to her home port, Long Beach.

D. OSBORNE Since we had left Long Beach, we never knew a firm schedule. The only date we were somewhat certain of was the approximate time of our return to Long Beach, and many times even that was rumored to be extended and then shortened. We didn't really know what we were doing in WESTPAC except to join up with Amphibious Squadron SEVEN and per- form the functions of an Amphibious Ready Group, sometimes, somewhere off the coast of Viet Nam. When DURHAM rendez- voused with the Denver in June, in Subic, we learned still more of our schedule, but were also told of its tentative nature and not to count on anything. That schedule was comprised of Amphibious operations off the coast of Viet Nam, amphibious exer- cises involving embarked marines, and a series of tup- keep periods and port calls between Subic Bay, Kelon and Okinawa. Japan and Hong Kong looked out of the pic- ture, and the much talked about, much anticipated Zam- boanga port call looked at last as though it, too, were going to fall through. 10 1- A1 V1 ,, M ,X '1 4 I ' A A r 4 .

Wet net training for the troops took up many afternoons. Every type of ship-to-shore movement from daylight to night silent was performed at least a few times. Often both daylight and night silent ship-to-shore movements were performed within the same twenty-four hour period with an afternoon of turn to squeezed in between. The crew worked hard the first couple months of the deployment, which made the later schedule change that much more appreciated. '1l5 v i S i r, i 1 'r , iQ i 1 if i i7 i 5 , i iz.

It appeared for a long time that the squadron was looking for, rather than having, things to do. When the schedule finally materialized it could have been said that the squadron was just being held in limbo until it could be deter- mined when it would be needed and where it could be used to best advantage. The newest schedule had Durham going to Zamboanga after all, with COIVI- PHIBRON SEVEN embarked. lt was to be one of the most exciting and refresh- ing visits the Durham was to make in WESTPAC. 2 Near Manila Bay Q, ' -.

O'Callaghan and bonged off her old, Captain Stensrud. . .plankowner. . .departing. At first it was hard to get use to the idea that just another plankowner had left and not Durham incarnate. After all, as Durham's first commanding officer, Cap- tain Stensrud had brought the ship through some frustrating and perplexing times, which most of the crew could hardly forget. He recognized the crew that helped him as the finest ship's company he could have had. Q aptain Edmund W. O'Callaghan was born in l B-oston, Massachusetts. He attended Harvard University prior to entering the Navy and received his Master of Arts degree in International Relations from George Washington University. , He was commissioned in 1946 and served on board the. heavy cruiser USS SAINT PAUL ICA-73l as Assistant Navigator. ln 1950, he received his wings and was then assigned as Operations Officer to Fighter Squadron 74. Fighter Squadron 74's involvement in the Korean war earned Captain O'Callaghan three Air Medals. It was during this time also, that he received his first Navy Unit Commendation, while on board the USS BON HOMME RICHARD ICVA-31l. After serving as a flight instructor from March 1953 to October 1955 at the Naval Air Station in Kingsville, he was assigned as Administration Officer to Fighter Squadron 81. . Between July 1957 and October 1962, he served on the staff of COMNAVAI R LANT as Assistant Safety and Survival and Aviation Equipment Officer and later as Technical Liaison Officer of Nuclear Safety for the Field Command, Defense Atomic Support Agency. In February 1964, Captain O'Callaghan assumed command of Attack Squadron 93. From February 1965 to April 1967, he earned an additional three Navy Unit Commendation Medals for serving off Viet Nam on the USS CORAL SEA ICVA-43l, USS RANGER ICVA-61l, and USS ENTERPRISE ICVAN-65l as Assistant Opera- tions and Plans Officer on the staff of Commander Carrier Division ONE. He attended the National War College from August 1967 to August 1968 and then reported to Chief of Naval Operations to direct the Fleet Aviation Manpower Requirements until April 1970. Captain O'Callaghan is married to the former Miss Bettye J. Walker of Robstown, Texas. They have three children. Their two sons, Barry Colin and Brian Thomas are 12 and 15 respectively. Deidre, their daughter, is 13. CAPTAIN EDMUND WILLIAM O'CALLAGHAN, USN urham left for Zam- s - boanga with her new CO shortly after the change of command ceremony and arrived on July 3, 1970. There she was greeted by a colorful fleet of banca boats piled high with coral, sea shells, and wooden artifacts. Money and wares exchang- ed hands betvveen the boats and the ship via high line. The very professional bar- ters amongst the crew were able to purchase entire boats laden with goods for little more than an off-the- wall compliment and an American product of questionable value. . .a dime and a kiss so to speak. For a while hold no. 4 looked like a graveyard for banca boats. But then the boats were found to be infested with a hardy variety of Zamboan- gan termites and they all had to be quietly buried at sea after leaving Zamboanga. ll I- H, 1 A f --...,-- l l Z- 4- i ' V , ' 4 ,,, ' 'f ,, t 7- ,' A 17 , '. :'t V '7 771'?7 - f X - ,. ,- -s . i.

The city is located on the island of lVlindano at the southwest tip of the Philip- pines some 750 miles south of Manila and has a population of over 170,000. This was scheduled as a good will port visit and numer- ous activities were therefore arranged to enable the crew to socialize with and aid the people of Zamboanga. Tours of the city proper and sur- rounding countryside, tours to Basilan Island, softball, volley- ball, and basketball games with the City government, parties, civic actions, lunch- eons, open houses on board the ship, and wreath layings were all scheduled over the weekend.

An early message we received warned of mist and fog in the area reducing visibility to zero by midnight and increasing to possibly 2-4 miles by afternoon. Bridge and CIC were kept pretty busy on the 2000-2400 watch, encountering contacts in the restricted waters. By midnight they had run through the alphabet twice and were ready to designate the next contact as BB when they were relieved. lt all was just a small foreshadowing of what was to come, however. At 0130 we picked up the pilot and shortly after that the mist. When the word was passed to man Sea Detail Stations about 0500 the mist had socked us in like the weather report had said. Soon after that the radar fell off the line, and rather than risk one unscheduled port visit into one of the neighboring fishing villages, the Captain ordered Stop the boat! and the hook was dropped in 32 fathoms of water. By 0730 we were underway again for Hiroshima Wan through the Kudako Suido. Having started all over again with contact A at midnight, we were already designating CC by 1000 and varying our speeds between all ahead standard and all back full. The pilot was moving from bridge wing to radar to bridge wing and the OOD, Ltljgl Bob Dunlap was on his heels like a robin bounding after an elusive worm. The pilot didn't speak English all that well I YOKO SHIIVIA 56 T NAKA SHIIVIA but his gestures were explanatory enough. At one point both he and Bob Dunlap were on the port bridge wing at all stop. Naka Shima was off the starboard bow and between that island and the ship were several contacts, probably all trying to stay out of our way. The pilot motioned with both his hands as if he were declining an offer of some apple pie or fending off a water snake and said at the same time. . . hard. . .Hard! Bob caught on very fast and ordered Hard left rudder which maneu- vered us out of what danger we'll probably never know. We finally steered between the islands Yoko Shima and Naka Shlma DHSSHWQ them by no more than 1000 yards off each beam. The experience couldn't have been much unlike the Argonauts or Odysseus' perilous passa99 between Scylla and Charybdis. The morning sun burned away enough of the mist that we Could make better time. We finally anchored in Hiroshima Wan off the marine base at lwakuni at 1040 and Were QGTUUQ ready to push the boats over the side at 1050. TT'1 ,WKHQ -' uf: 'L y: ,' . A ' V Q I -'A 1 .

Believed to be directly under ground zero, the building withstood the blast due to the strictly perpendicular pressures exerted on it. wakuni put the crew within a one-hour train ride of Hiroshima, and many took the opportunity to see the city. The museum in Peace Park, A-Bomb Dome, Peace Bell, and the many monuments erected were all vivid reminders of the incredible obliteration of the city during the final days of World War ll. The presentation of the museum, though interesting, appeared to some of the crew to be overly dramatized. lt fell short of a valid explanation, but effectively handled the extreme sense of tragedy as related to world opinion following the incident. There was, oddly enough, little mention of the war, which prompted the situation. Today, the youth of Japan, regard the incident at Hiroshima in much the same way as America's youth regard Pearl Harbor.

All but Nara could be reached by hopping the green and orange train from the Kobe terminal. From the quarterdeck. of the ship to the east gate entrance of the World's Fair was only lk hours, andfew of the crew passed up the chance to go. As for the crowds at Expo.. .if you can imagine taking the number of people at Disneyland on a busy weekend and tripling that you've got a vague idea of part of the struggle. Over 400,000 people a day came to see Expo '70, They used every means of trans- portation available from buses to subways and accounted for ticket sales probably grossing close to one million dollars a day. Yet, the lines to the pavilions moved well, the foods were excitingly different and good, the people, despite the heat and congestion, were cordial and well-mannered, and the experience. . .well, it was worth many more incon- veniences than were imposed. , Those who made it as far as the east gate of the Fairgsaw or tried to see the United States Pavilion. lt wasfa good feeling being able to touch on a bit of America being over 7000 miles from home. The United States and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Pavilions were reputed to have been the best exhibitions at the Fair. lt was at these two, at least, that the longest lines had been attracted since the Fair opened in lVlarch. People were known to have waited over two hours to see one or the other. Surprisingly enough, those of the crew who saw the USSR Pavilion came back somewhat disappointed. The United States Pavilion was well devised and enjoyed as one ofthe more impressive pavilions at the Fair.

Jim Cooksey amidst the camera crowd at the United States Pavilion. he United States Pavilion presented seven major exhibits illustrating the theme, Images of America , which shuttled the visitor back and forth in time and through a series of differentiated spaces on various planes. The floor dividing the luminous enclo- sure into two levels zigzagged and projected and receded so that exhibits could be seen above, below and at eye level. The exhibition areas were arranged so that the visitor caught glimpses ahead and glances backwards at past exhibits and constantly made visual comparisons. The largest single exhibit area in the United States Pavilion was devoted in its entirety to American accomplishments in space exploration---with emphasis on the Apollo 11 lunar mission, which successfully placed the first men on the moon on July 20, 1969. Virtually all of the space components on display in the United States Pavilion were real ---either because they were flight-flown objects retrieved from outer space like the Apollo 8 Command lVlodule, or because they were objects capable of being flight-flown like a lunar module. Actual cameras used on the moon as well as a sample of moon rock were also featured in the exhibit. The only major disappointment with the United States Pavilion was that there was no representation of American music, dances, or other related fads, which have been and are still so characteristic of American life. The structure of the Pavilion itself was canopied by a translucent air-supported cable roof covering a space approximately the size of two football fields. This structure permitted sunlight to pass through during the day and glowed at night from the interior. Nleasuring 274 feet by 465 feet, the super-elliptical enclosure constituted the largest and lightest clear span, air-supported roof ever built. It weighed approximately one pound per square foot. The enclosure consisted of a vinyl-coated fiberglass fabric membrane, which spanned between intersecting high strength steel cables and was kept inflated by an internal pressure of approximately three-hundredths of a pound l.O3l per square inch above the outside atmospheric pressure.

Kyoto was only twenty minutes beyond Osaka by train and somewhat more accessible than Nara, which could be reached only by car, bus, or some other means of similar transportation. Kyoto was, therefore, more popular than Nara and drew a representative body of the ship's company into her temples and shrines, gardens, and other century old vestiges of the country's antiquity. Kyoto was once the ancient capital of Japan called lVliyako. Here the traditional beauty of Japan is revealed in an unbelievable number of shrines, temples, parks and palaces. They helped reveal even to the ignorant foreigner the essence of the Japanese psyche. Kokedera lThe lVloss Gardenl was designed in the shape of the mind, because to the Japanese the state of mind is very important. Within The lVloss Garden a pond is shaped like the Japanese hieroglyphic Kokoro which means spirit or enlightened Heart, but in the true Zen SGHSS IS more thoroughly defined as the essential self- hood of man. The garden, laid out in the 14th century, contains more than one hundred kinds of moss plus several varieties of evergreens and other perennial vegetation. The Japanese refrain from the use of flowers in their gardens, because flowers traditionally wither and die. To the Japanese this represents the transiency of life and has no place in the constancy of beauty or the eternity of the spirit. K., ,-.

The Hojo, the building over- looking the garden was erected, accord- ing to records, in 1499, and it is believed that the garden was designed in the same period by Soami. It is a rectangular plot much longer than it is deep, in which are situated fifteen rocks grouped in a seven-five-three order. The rock garden is so constructed that from any one angle of view only fourteen of the fifteen rocks can be seen. This is to symbolize that no one or anything is entirely perfect. THE ROCK GARDEN The Zen-Garden of Ryoanji Temple lRock Gardenl We can view the garden as a group of mountainous islands in a great ocean, or as mountain tops rising above a sea of clouds. We can see it as a picture framed by the ancient mud wall, new in itself regarded as a national treasure, or we can forget the frame as we sense the truth of this sea stretching out boundlessly. 4 Soami's eloquence will speak forever to those who will look at the garden with inner eyes. Absorbed in this scene, we, who-think of ourselves as relative, are filled with serene wonder as we intuit Absolute Self, and our stained minds are purified. In Zen, everything, even a leaf of grass, expresses ultimate Reality. Thus we can say that this simple garden of itself suggests to us absolute value. This garden is such a profoundly meaningful one, beyond any comparison with others of the world, that it might better be called, lVlu-Tei- Garden of Nothing- ness, or Ku-tei- Garden of Emptiness, than Seki-tei- Garden of Stones. Joei llflatsukura Abbot of Ryoanji ara is sometimes called the cradle of Japanese culture. The city was Japan's first capital and political center from 710 to 784 A.D. lt is in Nara where rests the Great Buddha . . .the world's largest bronze statue housed in the world's largest wooden building..

Hong Kong's name is derived from Heung Kong , meaning Fragrant Harbour , which was the Chinese name for an anchorage at Aberdeen so named because ships could take on fresh water from a spring nearby. Hong Kong Island, nucleus of the Crown Colony, is 352. square miles and was acquired from China in 1841. Since 1945 Hong Kong industry has zoomed from a few hundred factories to over 5,000. Its spinning mills are considered among the best and compete with textiles all over the world. The United States is the largest market for Hong Kong products.

After Subic, lwakunl, Kobe and the World's Fair the only money floating around the ship was some loose change held by the few foreseers, who, in their wildest dreams had long since anticipated coming to the PearI of the Orient . Restaurants abounded with new and exciting dishes.

Boat Group has come as far as any division on the ship. Before commissioning, when the administrative areas of the ship were being organized, third division was formed.. -Except for a handful of experienced petty officers the -division was put together with young seamen apprentices straight. out of boot camp. This alone was not peculiar to third division. Many of her men were divided amidst the other shipboard divisions and were to eventually transfer into the Boat Group, making it a cohesive unit by July of '69. Assault boat coxswain was a foreign word to most of them and they probably couldn't have found the proper spelling of the word with the aid of a dictionary. If you'd mentioned Mike eight to them then, they would have thought it was a fragmentary sen- tence and would have responded, Ate what? They were sent off to schools to learn a trade, but came back just journeymen who would have to earn their assault boat coxswain's patches on the beach, fighting the pounding surf. Some of the coxswains in the Boat Group were sent off to as many as nine different schools over eleven solid weeks of training. Up to the time the ship came to Long Beach the Boat Group had merely played with its boats, testing their engines, performing routine main- tenance. BlVl2 Bill Higgins never saw his boat go in the water until 5 February 1970, eight months after it wasi-lifted aboard. 1 February was the month the ship began Amphibious Refresher Training in San Diego. lt was the first time the Boat Group had been tested under the condi- tions of a semi-authentic beach assault with relatively rough surf conditions. BIVI3 Gregory Yung Plankowner SN Nlichael Kane Plankowner Plankowner Amphibious Refresher Training was . , an experience few of the Boat Group ' will ever forget. It was an adventure few of them will ever relive. ,H t J The original Boat Group formed back in Norfolk is now almost completely 5 .gifs f e dissolved. The moments they shared, .,s.. U yggt ,.,. though, from Amphibious Refresher ss A iilli Training to landing 52-ton tanks on tiis' 1 Zambales Beach and 100 man liberty .. parties at boat landings in Subic Bay is T 1 captured here and will probably never be SN Neal Rasmussen SN Robert Dyche forgotten by the men who created their Plankowner Plankowner own history. 1 ...., t , ,...
