The men of the Dyess, a unit of Destroyer Sq Six, toiok an extensive tour that included Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were buried centuries ago when mount Vesuvius erupted. The highlight of the visit, however, was a visit to Rome, about 75 miles away. Orphans Visit Aboard Dyess USS DYESS — A group of 25 Greek orphans sang a farewell in Greek to the men of the USS Dyess (DDR-880) at the conclusion of their visit to the ship in Phaleron Bay, Greece, recently. Comdr Paul G. Hannon of Santa Rosa, Calif., commanding officer of the Dyess, played host to the group who, after touring the ship and inspecting a five-inch gun mount with typical small boy curiosity, were treated to ice cream and cookies in the mess hall. A cartoon carnival, fun in any country, rounded out their visit. As the boys serenaded the crew on leaving the ship, it was ap- parent to all that America had 25 new friends. The Dyess is a unit of De- stroyer Squadron 6, commanded by Capt R. R. Greene, and is cur- rently with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. The visit by the Greek orphans came as a part of the Dyess ' contribution to Presi- dent Eisenhower ' s People-to- People program, in which every man of the Dyess is an active ambassador. Germans Tour Fleet in Med SIXTH FLEET— A group of 20 Federal German naval officers join- ed the 6th Fleet for 13 days of in- doctrination and training in the Central Mediterranean. The officers, all from thr German Naval Academy, em)- irked in cruiser Newport News, flagship of Rear Adm. Galantin, Commander, Cruiser Division 2, carrier Roose- velt and destroyers DuPont, Hen- ley, Greene, Dyess and Bordelon. The German Naval Academy at Flensburg, Germany, Ls equivalent to the U.S. Naval War College at Newport, R.I. From April 3-15 the Germans ob- served fleet exercises in air de- fense, anti-submarine warfare, gun- fire support, shore bombardment, anti-aircraft firing, amphibious as- sault and replenishment at sea. One of the highlights of their visits was a naval air power demonstration by the attack carrier Forre stal. ( ' -„ W! -r, ' ' 41- 6pr 00, ' OA ' ACy „ l«f ' 0 z?. Jo a ' On MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE ■v-rfr-5.: pr ' vy i d IJ-X JO.: . • rj,,. . i - The United Stotes Ship DYESS, o 2400 ton Gearing Class Destroyer was launched on January 26, 1945, when she slid sideways down the launching ways of the Consolidated Steel Corporation at Orange, Texas. The ship was nomed in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Aquilla James Dyess, United States Marine Corps Reserve. Colonel Dyess was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous gal- lantry above and beyond the call of duty during the invasion of Kwojalein Atoll. Upon completion of shakedown troining in July of 1945, DYESS received special radar equipment and additional anti-aircraft armament at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Following this modification she was redesignated DDR-880, becoming a radar picket de- stroyer. World War II was over before DYESS was in a battle ready condition, qnd from July to November of 1945, she made several short training cruises along the Eastern coast of the United States. November of 1945 saw the DYESS transit the Panama Canal and report for duty to Commander, Destroyer Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet. After nearly o year in the Western Pacific Area, during which she visited various Japanese and Philippine ports, DYESS returned via Klonolulu and San Diego to her home waters of the Atlantic Coast. In August 1947, DYESS, as part of Task Force 84, made a short cruise to South America visiting Trinidad two and Rio de Janeiro. October of the same year found DYESS beginning the first of her many Med cruises. Roughly two years later, she crossed the Arctic Circle while participating in fleet exercises in the North Atlantic. Since her redesignation fifteen yftars ago, DYESS has enjoyed TWELVE Mediterranean cruises. She has acted as escort vessel for President Truman, Flagship for RADM Virdon, Commander Destroyer Flotilla Six, and hosted the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral A. A. Burke and his staff for a personnel inspection. She has participated in three Midshipman Cruises, done two tours of duty as plane guard in Pensacolo and Jacksonville, Florida, and participated in severol NATO exercises. The 1960 Battle Efficiency winner of Destroyer Squadron SIX, DYESS is a ship in which oil of those who have served on her can rightfully take pride. DYESS has a full load displacement of 3500 tons, extreme beam of 40 feet 10 inches, length overall of 390 feet six inches and a mean draft of 14 feet eight inches. Her propulsion system consists of 4 boilers and 2 geared turbines with a maximum output of 60,000 shaft horsepower. Her primary function as a DDR is to serve as a long range warning picket vessel against aircraft while operating with Fast Carrier Task Forces, a mission for which she is well equipped with an abundance of electronics equip- ment. The wartime complement is 18 officers and 296 enlisted men; however, the ship presently operotes with 15 officers and 231 enlisted men. She is com- manded by P. G. Hannon, CDR, USN. three four Rare is the individual for whom prolonged separation from family does not leave a dreadful void. Of all professions, the sea makes great demands on the in- dividual in this respect, and the seafarer must guard his emotions to insure no loss of personal strength in his impersonal environment — the sea — which competes with him for his very existence. At sea, where the timelessness of the world is proved, there has been for each of us the proving of one of the world ' s Eternal Truths; Faith, Hope, and Love . . . and the greatest of these is Love. The love of those who wait at home has been the mainstay during those darker moments we all experience when everything seems out of balance and proportions are lost. The Commanding Officer, Officers, and Crew of the United States Ship Dyess (DDR-880) each make a personal dedication of this I960 Mediterranean Cruise Book to his own especial ones who await the seafarer ' s return. DEDICATION five COMMANDING OFFICER Paul G. Honnon, Commander, U. S. Navy Commander Paul Gerard HANNON, a native of Santa Rosa, California, was first commissioned in May 1942. During World War II he participated in the Solomons Islands Campaign on Guadalcanol, New Georgia and Bougainville and was later assigned to duty on the staff of the Commander South Pacific area at Noumea, New Caledonia. Subsequent to World War II he served aboard the USS PALAU (CVE-1221, the heavy cruiser USS MACON {CA-132) as Navigator, and the experimental destroyer USS SARSFIELD (EDD-837) as Executive Officer. Shore duty assignments have included tours at the Naval Air Stations, Moffett Field, California, and Seattle, Washington, the General Line School, Monterey, California, the office of the Naval Attache, Melbourne, Australia, and the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Washington, D. C. Commander HANNON attained his present rank on 1 September 1954, and assumed command of the USS DYESS (DDR-880) on 31 October 1958. He is married to the former Shirley I. Jorgenson of Sydney, Aus- tralia, and has two children. From: Commanding Officer, USS Dyess (DDR-880) To: All Hands Subj: Summary remarks at the journey ' s end For all of us, the sight of the Cooper River Bridge looming up before us was indescribably welcomed. To be home again at the end of a long and difficult voyage is reward enough for the hours of toil and waiting. My best wishes go with each man and family of the Dyess in this reunion after seven months ' separation. Where return home is reward enough, there ore also other rewards I would like to mention. We have made a return home with peaked up awareness of the critical importance of strong National Defense. We made our voyage through a tinder box where rumors of war are not vague hypothesis or specula- tion, but rather an ever-present threat. And we return home rewarded with gratitude that we have made a personal as well as a unit contribution to the safety of our country. We return home rewarded also with having distinguished the Dyess in the Sixth Fleet as a can-do ship. , Throughout the cruise, the wealth of ability aboard our ship was always apparent. The exercise of this ability through fine teamwork has created a reputation that reflects well on the entire crew. Now, at the journey ' s end, I wish to congratulate each member of my can- do team. It was an arduous cruise and long-lasted. Well done! P. G. Hannon Commander, United States Navy Commanding BAHLE EFFICIENCY Jlf r •• eight EXECUTIVE OFFICER Lt R. E. Flynn GUNNERY Ltjg G. E.

The DesRon S flagship, the N. K. Perry, tied down at Pier 8 at the Charleston Naval Shipyard at 2:30 p.m., amid band-playing and hand-waving. Wives, children, relatives and friends stood behind a cordon of guards at pier ' s end until the second ship, the E. A. Greene, docked on the op- posite side of the pier. Then, the cordon broke and wives reunited with husbands they hadn ' t seen since the squadron left Charleston Jan. 28. Capt. R. S. Mandelkorn com- mands the squadron from the Perry. The other destroyers returning home were the Bordelon, the Furse, the Gyatt and the Dyess. Each of the destroyers has ap- IM°oximately 14 officers and 250 men. While in the Mediterranean the ships participated in radar, gun- nery, anti-submarine warfare and rescue operations. As part of President Eisenhow- er ' s People to People program they made port in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Sicily, Crete and Piraeus. In these ports, they held parties aboard ship for townspeo- ple, youngsters and orphans. Each child got a memento of his trip, a kite with the words, 6th Fleet, Power For Peace, written across the kites in six languages. Prior to arrival in Charleston yesterday Cmdr. P. G. Hannon, skipper of the Dyess, presented letters of commendation to 31 men who played key roles in winning for the Dyess the squadron ef- ficiency E award for 1960. Among those receiving letters of commendation were Donald Lewis (803) and Joseph T. De- Mattia (SN). They are credited with spotting on July 16 a flyer from the carrier Roosevelt as he parachuted intb the Mediter- ranean. He was picked up before he was reported missing from ' the carrier. Last May the Dyess took a sta- tion in the Atlantic to monitor the flight of President Eisenhower from the United States to the Paris Symmit Conference. The squadron is scheduled to remain in Charleston until January, when it will report for duty with the Second Fleet in Nor- folk. i '
