McKay, who, possessed of the highest sense of loyalty and dedi- cation, contributed so much towards FARRAGUT ' S readiness to carry out all assigned tasks. Those of us who served with him, will not soon forget. , USS FARRAGUT (DLG-6) was commissioned 10 December 1 960 at Boston Naval Shipyard, CDR Roger E. SPREEN, USN, assuming command, and proudly took her place in the Navy. She was the forth of our nation ' s ships to carry the name FARRAGUT in honor of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, famous for his achievements dur- ing the Civil War, and the first Admiral of the United States Navy. The first USS FARRAGUT (Torpedo Boat 11) was launched in 1898 and served with the Fleet until 1919. The second USS FARRAGUT (DD-300) was commissioned in 1920 and operated with the Pacific Fleet Destroyer Force through 1930. The third USS FARRAGUT (DD-348) was the first of the two- stack destroyers. Commissioned in 1934, she was berthed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. Throughout the war in the Pacific she fought gallantly and by the end of the war had earned 14 battly stars in engagements such as the Battle of the Coral Sea, the First Battle of Savo Island, Iwo Jima, and Oki- nawa. The forth and present USS FARRAGUT (DLG-6) is one of the most powerful ships of the modern Navy. This class of guided missile frigate is designed to carry the latest and best radar and sonar to detect the enemy, and the most powerful anti-aircraft and anti-submarine missiles with which to destroy him. Following commissioning, FARRAGUT participated in shakedown training in the Caribbean, visiting ports including San Juan, Puerto Rico; Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and Guontanamo Bay, Cuba. Enroute northward, the ship visited Pensacola, Florida (taking part in the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Naval Aviation); New Orleans, Louisiana; Mobile, Alabama, the scene of Admiral Farragut ' s most famous exploits during the Civil War. In Mobile, FARRAGUT was the special guest of the pageant celebrating the 350th anniver- sary of Mobile ' s founding. Effective 1 July 1961 the ship ' s homeport was changed from Boston to Mayport, Florida, therby becoming the first guided missile frigate to be home ported in Mayport. In the Fall of 1961, FARRAGUT departed on her Shakedown Cruise to Northern Europe. Arriving in Portsmouth, England, on 30 November 1961, she began a rapid but very enjoyable succession of port visits ending in Lisbon, Portugal the first week of the New Year. Ports visited included Malmo and Stockholm, Sweden; Copenhagen, Denmark; Ham- burg, Germany; and Portsmouth, England. FARRA- GUT ' s officers and men participated in many social affairs and athletic contests acquiring many friends while implementing the President ' s People-to-People Program. Interspersed between port visits were ex- tensive readiness exercises at sea, testing all phases of FARRAGUT ' s complex detection and weapons sy- systems. FARRAGUT deployed with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean during January and February 1962. A highlight of this deployment was a well received visit to Port Mahon, Menorca, the home of Admiral Farragut ' s father. On 3 March 1962 FARRAGUT arrived home in Mayport and became the flagship of Capt. A. F. JOHNSON, USN, Commander De- stroyer Squadron EIGHT. April brought participation in the Seapower Dem- onstration for President Kennedy, and saw the ar- rival of a new Commanding Officer. CDR. Adam A. HERRON, USN, became FARRAGUT ' s second CO on 21 April 1962 . In May, a short operational cruise to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands for missile firings and shore bombardment was climaxed by an exciting race to the splashdown area of Astronaut Scott CARPENTER, America ' ssecond orbital space traveler. FARRAGUT enjoyed the honor of being the first surface ship to arrive at the scene. In Norfolk in June 1962 FARRAGUT welcomed 29 Naval Academy Midshipmen for their annual summer cruise. A highlight of the cruise spaced be- tween intensive anti-air and anti-submarine warfare exercises, was a Fourth of July visit to Wilmington, Delaware. On 3 August 1962, the ship sailed for the Medi- terranean Sea on a seven-month deployment with the United States SIXTH FLEET. An important page of FARRAGUT ' s history during the deployment was recorded in October, when she was sent on a special cruise into the Black Sea. There FAR RAGUT exercised the Navy ' s historic right of freedom to sail this land-locked sea, and visited two small Turkish ports, Eregil and Trabzon. The major part of the deployment was spent in the day-to-day conduct of advanced fleet train- ing exercises that keep our country ' s first line of defense at a peak of battle readiness. During the necessary maintenance, supply, and relaxation periods all hands were engaged as good will am- bassadors in forging ties of friendship with the Medi- terranean countries. Among the ports visited were: Cannes and Myeres, France; Rhodes and Athens, Greece; Naples, Gaeta, Genoa, San Remo, and Palermo, Italy; and Barcelona, Spain. Naples was the site of FARRAGUT ' s second successive holiday season away from home. FARRAGUT finished out her deployment with an eagerly awaited return to Port Mahon, Menorca. She arrived home in Mayport on 2 March 1963, for a welcomed leave period prior to readying the ship for an interim shipyard availability period in May 1963. Entering Norfolk Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth, Virginia on 7 May, FARRAGUT underwent minor repairs and alterations and acquired a new Captain, CDR. W. B. ALTHOFF, USN, in change of command ceremonies at Portsmouth on 9 May 1963. Avail- ability completed, the ship welcomed 63 Naval Academy Midshipmen aboard and participated in her second Midshipmen Cruise, which included visits to New York City and Quebec as well as extensive underway training. FARRAGUT returned to Mayport on 27 July for a period of leave and upkeep. During the following month she was underway for local operations and a one-day dependents cruise on 16 August. A brief operational cruise to the Carribean from 16 Septem- ber until return to Mayport on 1 October included visits to San Juan and St. Thomas. FARRAGUT departed Mayport again on 28 Oc- tober for twelve days of operations as part of Task Force 23 and returned to her homeport on 8 No- vember 1963. Except for brief periods of refresfer training in the Jacksonville operations area, the ship remained in Mayport for a period of leave and upkeep, spending Christmas in her homeport. The months of December and January were spent in completing preparations for FARRAGUT ' s impending Mediterranean deployment with the United States Sixth Fleet on 8 February 1964. FARRAGUT ' s crossing to the Mediterranean went quickly and without noticeable event. Arriving in the Mediterranean the ship participated in Sixth Fleet operations until 6 March when she anchored for the first liberty of the deployment, Istanbul, Turkey, where FARRAGUT spent five days. In this sunny port, FARRAGUT ' s crew set on outstanding record for people to people relations. Departing our first liberty port we found ourselves enjoying the sunny waters of the Cyprus patrol, until the 28th of March when FARRAGUT dropped anchor in Naples harbor to remain there for 18 days receiving repairs to the engineering plant. Leaving Naples on the 1 1 th of March FARRAGUT took part in normal Sixth Fleet operations. On the morning of the 18th of March FARRAGUT began a two day visit to the enchanting island of Menorca, Spain. Sailing, fishing, Softball, and the pleasure of relaxing were enjoyed by all. FARRAGUT returned to Naples. Many of FAR- RAGUT ' s crew again took advantage of the low priced tours to Capri, Mount Visuvius and Rome. On leaving Naples for the final time in this Medi- terranean cruise FARRAGUT enjoyed rough seas and a two day visit to St. Tropez, France home of Bridget Bardot. Home again after an enjoyable short trip, FAR- RAGUT awaits her time to go into the Charleston Naval Shipyard. .fr W .- Commander William B.

TO THE CREW Y lA f I This is the CAPTAIN speaking There have been many times during the past year when I have had occasion to use this phrase before making an announcement to the ship ' s company. Sometimes the reason for the announcement has been to pass along information. More often the reason has been to take note of some special accomplishment that you, the officers and men of FARRAGUT, have achieved. Your accomplishments have been many, and FARRAGUT ' s fleet reputation is the verj ' highest. Our belief that she is the Best damn DLG in the Fleet is shared by many. You have been tried many times, and never found wanting. You are the real professionals of our Navy today. You, and your wonderful families, should be very proud of your outstanding ser- vice to our nation. By the time the cruise book is printed, I will have been relieved and the ship will be in the midst of overhaul. Still, my thoughts and best wishes will be with you. It has been a great year and I am proud to have been shipmates with you. Well done . B. .VLTIIOFF Commanding Officer w E A P O N S I FIRST DIVISION SECOND DIVISION FOX DIVISION FIRST DIVISION We broke the record and now the Captain ' s next. You ' re right. It Is the pilot. A great part of the modern navy has become adapted to automation, all but those tasks performed by the deck force. There is still no automatic device to haul in lines, take in the brow, scrub the decks, paint the sides, man the boats, and the multitude of other assignments that fall upon the Boatswain ' s mate and his seamen. Their tasks are many, the hours long, the reward is a well done , and the satisfaction of knowing they are responsible for keeping our gal looking like The Best Damn DLG in the Fleet .

Here ' s to the large lot of Gunner ' s Mates, who care for our nautical armament They work the day long with the ship ' s guns Forgive me for it is no harm, I meant. There is also a minimal nucleus Of people who handle torpedoes But their habits are often changeable Cause their work, just comes as it goes. The people who work with the ASROC Combine skills of the previous two; The Bureau still calls them as Gunner ' s Mates But their Warfare is known as AU.

See Stew, I told you to get Cheerios!! Maybe the ship ' s store will run out of cigars!! FOX DIVISION FOX Division is the largest of the three divisions in the Weapons Department. The division is made up of the Fire Control (Missiles), Fire Control (Guns), and the Sonar gang. These men have the responsibility for maintenance and operation of FARRAGUT ' s complex Fire Control systems be it in the air or under the water. These Fire Control systems in turn control the Weapons Systems of FARRAGUT. The Fire Control Technicians (Missiles) are responsible for the Missile Fire Control Radar Systems (AN SPQ-5A) which provides a guidance path for the Terrier missile to intercept and destroy attacking air craft. Fire Control Technicians (Guns) ore responsible for the MK 68 Gun fire control system. These dual purpose gun systems provide positioning information to the 5 and 3 gun batteries to destroy either air or sur- face gunnery targets. The Sonarmen are responsible for the AN SQS-23 Sonar and MK 111 ASROC Fire Control System. Their task is to seek out and destroy enemy submarines in time of war with either ASROC or tube launched torpedos. ' -T4 t-W mn ' llW ' S Legal way to sleep. Ho Yea! Watch me pull the plug . Yea!

B DIVISION B Division is composed of Boilermen plus a few stray Machinist Mates impressed into service in the fireroom. The work of a B Division begins with taking on board fuel oil which is then used to fire the boilers. !n turn steam is generated in these boilers, and through the vast maze of pipes, tubing, reducers, compressors, pumps, motors, turbines and engines is the propulsive force for every piece of machinery on board this ship. B Division per- sonnel maintain the ship ' s two firerooms and the associ- ated equipment. On occasion B Division has been known to spill a little oil over the side, and provide some soot and black smoke, all to the liking of the first division ™- V? ' i: s yHimh m Tg r a. i„ . W ,  NSIf. Ok, who ' s got the credit card? 34 Black shower shoes!! Usual - out of TWO Hey Chief, it won ' t reach. M DIVISION After this call you Don ' t call us . . We ' ll The steaming demons The primary function of M-Division is to keep the ship in a mobile status and ready for any speed up to 33 knots on short notice. The division is able to meet this demand through the use of two main engines, each of which consists of a high and low pressure turbine and a large set of reduction gears. These huge engines are driven by 1200 psi steam supplied by the ship ' s two firerooms and develop 42,500 horsepower each. For maximum resistance to battle damage, each main engine and its as- sociated auxiliary machinery is situated in a separate engineroom and may be operated independ- ently with any combination of boilers. M-Division is also responsible for supplying the ship with water and electrical power. Water is distilled from sea water for use by the ship ' s boilers and personnel with two low temperature, flash type evaporators which are capable of making 24,000 gallons of fresh water daily. Electrical power is generated by four 750 KW steam turbogenerators and is supplied to the ship through a complex electrical distribution system that is operated by the R-Division. The Machinist Mates of M-Division are highly skilled technicians charged with the tremendous task of operating the main engines, evaporators, ship ' s service turbogenerators, and associated auxiliaries. These men work long, tiresome schedules around the clock and constantly encounter dangerous con- ditions. Consequently, they perform in a professional manner at all times and are largely responsible for Engineering Department ' s excellent performance.

It consists of Shipfitters, Damage Controlmen, En- ginemen, Machinery Repairmen, Machinest Mates, Electricians, and Interior Communications Electric- ians. It is responsible for all the Hotel services, including lighting and power, heat, hot water, ven- tilation and air-conditioning, watercoolers, refrigera- tion, sanitary facilities, telephones, an all interior communications. It is also responsible for the ste- ering machinery, emergency diesels and ship ' s service generators, gyro compasses, ship ' s boat engines, and all hull and superstructure repairs. R Division is the nucleus of the ship ' s damage control organization, which is responsible for the control and correction of all damage which may occur to the ship ' s hull, superstructure, or essential systems.

Take some dits, add a few da ' s, throw in some static, a key and a set of earphones, a call from Bridge or Combat to check my transmitter, I ' m not going out , and you have all the ingredients for a Radio watch. For frosting insert a CWO, an irritable Comm Officer, and FARRA- GUT ' s Radio Shack becomes a working piece of art. Drop down one deck and aft along the main deck to locate the remain- ing men of OC, nursing the ship ' s lame, sick, and weary. There the good Doc prescribes the Navy ' s one-two combination against all ills; one APC ' s and two — shots (from a needle, not a glass). ' : ' -- v- Ol DIVISION The Radarman and the Electronics Technician ratings constitute the 01 DIVISION CIC is where the Radarman performs his duties, which are many and varied. Rioting, Radio- telephone Net Recording, Radar Navigating, Radar Searching both on the surface and in the air, listing for transmissions from ships and stations by means of ECM equipment, and controlling air- craft; these are a few of the talents of a Radarman. To do all their jobs the Radarman operates many various and in some cases intricate equipment. These equipments must be maintained in a high state of readiness and this is accomplished by the Electronic Technician. The ET ' s domain stretches from the highest point on the ship the URD an- tenna, to the storerooms on the 1 st deck. The ET is responsible for the maintenance of all the Radar, Communications, and Detection Equipment on board, as well as all the associated antennas and test equipment. Together with the Radarman and the Radioman, the ET constantly checks out all these equipments to find or prevent failures before they become casualties. ! fSS ik - % s At )i i ' r.- S ■ X xCi Quick unhook him!!

Laugh Porter. He drank me under the table last night. s u p p S Division, which is composed of the personnel of FARRAGUT ' s Supply Department, has the responsibility for providing the overall logistic support that is required to main- tain a modern warship in a peak condition of battle readiness. Logistic support, a broad term that encompasses everything from maintaining an inventory of 30,000 separate repair parts for all the ship ' s equipment to providing personal services to the ship ' s officers and crew, can be broken down into as many parts as the ratings that S Division personnel hold. The Storekeepers (SK), with their 13 storerooms, procure, stock, and issue the hundreds of repair parts and new equipments that ore required every week. S Division ' s Ship ' s Servicemen (SH) manage the personal services aboard, which include the laundry, barber shop and ship ' s store facilities. The Commissarymen (CS) manage all aspects of provisioning. Their work includes ordering and maintaining the ship ' s food supply, preparing menus, and pro- viding a well-balanced and appetizing diet in the one thousand meals that they prepare each day. The Steward ' s Mates (SC) maintain the Wardroom, providing a complete line of services to the ship ' s officers. The work of the Disbursing Clerks (DK) encompasses all aspects of Military Pay, from computing and paying travel claims to holding regular pay- days every two weeks. S Division personnel manage all the separate aspects of Supply Department respon- sibility with the technical knowledge and efficiency which are typical of their ratings and are proud of the role they play in keeping FARRAGUT and her crew First in the Fleet .

It seems as if the game has caught on in Europe also. After loosing the first game to Robert College in Istanbull, they went on to de- feat the YMCA of Istanbul. An- other stiff game was played in Port Mahon, with the locals taking the contest by a narrow margin. From left to right standing: Rice, Him, Siafran, Johnson. Out front: Samuels SOCCER TEAM Always eager and willing, thesoc- cer team met all challengers, from Istanbul to Naples. The good will and sportsmanships displayed bytheteam made up for the record they set, 0-3. The national sport in most Euro- pean countries is soccer.
