Mingo, USN. was born in Donora, Pa., on February 9, 1925. After attending Purdue University, he transferred to the University of Notre Dame and was commissioned an Ensign in 1946. He served in CIC and com- munications billets on the USS RANDOLPH (CV-15) and the USS ALBEMARLE (AV-5) and participated in the 1948 atomic tests in Eniwetok Atoll. This was followed by a tour as a student at the General Line School in Monterey, Calif. In 1949 Captain Mingo served as operations officer and navigator on the LST-611 during naval operations in the Korean War, including the Inchon landing. He served as an instructor at the CIC school in Boston and then as communi- cations officer and assistant operations officer on the staff of Commander De- stroyer Flotilla Two. For the next thirty months he was the executive officer of the USS WAGNER (DER-539). In May, 1960, Captain Mingo assumed command of the USS ADROIT (MSO- 509), during which period the ADROIT won the Battle Efficiency E . He then attended the Armed Forces Staff College. Following a tour as a Staff Operations Officer, U.S. Military Assistance Command Viet Nam, he served eighteen months as a Plans Officer on the staff of Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Strike Command. In October, 1965, he assumed command of the USS JOHNSTON (DD-823) and won the Battle Efficiency E . Captain Mingo next assumed command of Destroyer Division 362 and participated in UNITAS VIII as the ASW Commander. In Sep- tember, 1968, he deployed with DESDIV362to WESTPAC from Norfolk, Virginia. In January. 1969, he reported for duty as Chief-of-Staff and Aide to Commander Cruiser -Destroyer Flotilla Four. Captain Mingo has been awarded the Bronze Star with Combat V, the Joint Services Commendation Medal. Presidential Unit Citation, Meritorious Unit Commendation and various service medals. Ronnie Mingo, his wife, was born in Bristol, Rhode Island and is a former Navy Nurse. They have three sons. Mark, Jon and Eric. Commanding Officer, USS EVERSOLE DD-789 Commander Carl C. Kaczmarek was born May 16, 1929, in Buffalo, N.Y.. where he completed his elementary and secondary education. After graduating from Canisius High School in 1947, Commander Kaczmarek attended Canisius College for one year before transferring to Holy Cross. Worcester, Mass. Four years later he received his A.B. degree in political science, and in 1959, his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the U.S. Navy Post Graduate School at Monterey, California. Commander Kaczmarek was commissioned an Ensign following his gradu- ation from Holy Cross in June, 1952. His first assignment was in the USS REMEY (DD-688) as first lieutenant. Relatively short tours of duty with the National Security Agency and the Fleet Training Center, Newport, R.I. , were followed by an eighteen month assignment in the newly commissioned USS BOSTON (CAG- 1) as first lieutenant and AA control officer. In July, 1957, he went to the Post Graduate School for his B.S. degree. From November, 1959, until January. 1962, Commander Kaczmarek was assigned to the staff of the Commander, Cruiser -Destroyer Division Four as the gunnery and readiness officer. A two year tour with the Bureau of Weapons as Talos Launching Systems manager was followed by an assignment in the USS LAWRENCE (DDG-4) as executive officer. In September, 1965, he was assigned in the USS ALBANY (CG-10) as weapons officer. Prior to taking command of the EVERSOLE in March. 1970, he headed the Talos Systems Department of the Naval Ship Missile Systems Engineering Station at Port Hueneme, Calif. He was involved in the development of the Talos missile as a modern anti-ship missile, in the modernization of Talos equipped cruisers and in providing support to ships with the Talos weapon system. For his outstanding contributions to the surface missile fleet, he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal. Commander Kaczmarek is married to the former Irene K. Schubring of Buffalo. They have six children, Carl C. Jr., Christopher, Kathryn, Mark, Karen and Timothy. WESTPAC 1971 We ' ll See You In Six Months Three short blasts on the ship ' s whistle and the USS EVERSOLE DD-789 was underway for the western Pacific on January 5, 1971. Our relatives and friends watched sadly as the ship slowly backed from the pier and the COMCRUDESPAC Band played the traditional Anchors Aweigh. The first leg of a forty -eight thousand mile cruise had begun. The months ahead would be hectic with challenging assignments and the ex- citement of seeing everything from a snake charmer to a kangaroo. Amid warnings to take care of the car and to write every day, the crew managed to kiss their wives and girlfriends goodbye and make the initial plans for a welcome home party six months away. Here we have Pollywog Prin- cess Rush in kicky little number ... Neptune Arriving Revielle was sounded early the morning of April 12 as the EVER- SOLE approached the domain of Neptunus Rex. The King ' s staff had boarded during the night and en- listed the aid of our trusty Shell- backs in preparing a suitable re- ception for both the king and the over two hundred Pollywogs on board. After a trip through the garbage chute, RM1 Austin deposits his oys- ter under a Shellbacks watchful eyes. For Pollywogs happiness is not always a big wet kiss, especially where an over zealous Royal Baby is concerned. Woodstock In The Tonkin Gulf Just three steaks today, my good man, not my usual four! Sunday afternoons underway were highlighted by a mini -Woodstock on the helo deck. After an afternoon of sunbathing, and letter writing, steaks were grilled over charcoal fires while Woodstock blasted out over the makeshift entertainment system. SD2 Dumlao cooked steaks over the hot, smoky grills until all two- hundred and sixty crewmen had as many as they could eat. 10 11 1G ■nhf J Wellington, New Zealand In Madras, India as well as Brisbane and Wellington, hundreds toured the ship during our visit. 12 Potpourri Of Port Visits EVERSOLE crewmen were ex- posed to an exceptionally wide variety of ports throughout the cruise. We saw the carefully land- scaped avenues of Singapore as well as its snake charmers and alligator farm, and then the dusty poverty of Madras, India. Down under we were impressed by the friendliness and hospitality shown all of us in Bris- bane and Wellington and by the un- matched scenic beauty of the New Zealand countryside. In Pago Pago many of us rode a cable car to the top of a three thousand foot mountain for a panorama of the South Pacific. This cruise will indeed be hard to surpass in future years. ' Well, that ' s Show Biz! ' 13 ■9TK life ' A Mb 14 IWJ - i A Pit Stop On Yankee S tation We received over two mil- lion gallons of fuel by unrep without a mishap. With the oiler only a hundred feet away each evolution demanded seamanship and attention from all hands from the OOD on the bridge to the fueling details on deck. After the back breaking work of heaving the hose across, there is a chance to relax while the ship gulps her fuel down. 15 Pago Pago, American Samoa, sprawls out below a three -thousand foot mountain. ' Frankly, I just want a CLARKE BAR! ' ' 16 Ladies Day Australia?! Style In Brisbane our soft- ball team was challenged and later trounced by a local girl ' s team. After- wards everyone enjoyed a dinner prepared by the American -Australian As- sociation. Although our team played well, they soon found that the fair sex in Australian knows quite a bit about American baseball. J Pollywogs A re Slimy, A ren ' t Th ey: ? After a special breakfast featuring green oatmeal, Pollywogs were everywhere, sweeping the horizon with brooms and keeping the ship on an even keel by pouring water from the starboard side over the port side. And everywhere the Pollywogs were, there was always plenty of water and a Shellback to keep them cool and slimy. 18 Being the master-of-ceremonies for the Pollywog Beauty Pageant has its fringe benefits. 19 RM1 Austin fails to comprehend that he is finally a Shellback 20 Here Comes The Judge After the fun and games of the beauty pageant, the Shellbacks settled down to some serious harassment. Shillaghs were tested frequently on soft Pollywog bottoms until one by one each Pollywog was arraigned before the Royal Judge and confronted with his crimes. The Judge was understandably harsh on greasers and often de- clared them a special case. Justice may not have been blind on April 12, but she certainly wasn ' t wearing her glasses either. After a visit to the Royal Barber for the latest shag haircut, RMSN Van Etten receives a fresh, raw oyster for his trip through the garbage chute. 21 F i ] i SN Calaway found the Royal Jail a bit too damp to suit him. Mr. Howard, Sir, you have the next watch. 23 24 At Sea Routine Over four months of the cruise were spent underway. Watches were stood around the clock and we were ready to provide a variety of ser- vices from plane guard on Yankee Station or shotgun off N. Viet Nam to NGFS. Every man responded to each assignment with pride andpro- fessionalism that earned EVER- SOLE a respected reputation. .J 25 Ship } s Party Put fifty cases of beer on the beach next to a volleyball court and the EVERSOLE crewmen won ' t be far away. Almost every- one stops for a grill-it-yourself hamburger, they always taste better that way, and a beer. After a snack, there is always the sun and the beach or a competitive volleyball game. 26 JL s-- ■ J ' ' - ' ■ ' ' ' ' [i ■■■- ,., ■ RM3 Amundson was a bit more concerned about sunburn than most of us at the party. 27 While plane guarding on Yankee Station RADM D. W. Cooper, COM- CARDIV 5, and RADM L. B. Mccud- din, COMCARDIV 3, were welcomed to a wardroom luncheon and cake cutting ceremony celebrating the USS EVERSOLE ' s twentyfifth year of com- missioned service. The May 10 birth- day party featured speeches, a souve- nir ashtray, birthday cake and a steak dinner for all. 28 May 10 Marks Silver Anniversary r fs BM3 D A. Heassig and EMFN S. F. Archuletta, both with May 10 birthdays, assist the captain in cutting the cake. 29 Oh, How Easily Former Pollywogs Forget! Polly wogs Are Slimier Than Ever seemed to be the Shell- backs motto the second time we crossed the equator. 30 Look at it this way, the Shellbacks are just trying to make you feel welcome. 31 A Hearty Welcome Home After Six Months We finally arrived home on July 22, better late than never. Even though the cruise had been interesting and exciting, we were all eager to settle down into the routine of being home. The wel- come we received quickly cured even the worst cases of channel fever. Why even Long Beach looked good! ETN2 Steele seems a bit carried away with the number of girls in Hot Pants. I think we need some- thing in a 7 and 3 8. 32 Grinning broadly, our dependents waited patiently while the ship was quickly checked by the agricultural inspectors. iTWlMi 34 The Men o EVERSOLE «R5w! 3 5 Although you couldn ' t say LTJG Howard was easily amused, he was a man of simple pleasures. mtSft LCDR G.
