CO T OF ARMS
SHIELD:
Gold and Blue are the colors traditionally associated with the US Navy. The symbols
on the shield express the story of the heroic but shortlived naval career of Gunner's
Mate Patrick Ford as he gave his life in the service of his fellow man and his country
on a riverboat in South Vietnam. The colors yellow and scarlet allude to the flag of
South Vietnam. The wavy blue band symbolizes the My Tho River, where the action
occurred. The V-shaped symbols identify the ship as having been attached to River
Squadron FIVE. The scarlet spearhead issuing from the sinister or left side of the
shield is indicative of the attack from ambush by Viet Cong forces, scoring two direct
rocket hits and setting the craft afire, suggested by the scarlet color of the central
figure.

COMBAT SYSTE S
The combat system comprises all of the Ford's subsystems and
equipment associated with detection, evaluation, acquisition
and engagement or deception of enemy air, surface or sub-
surface threats. The combat systems officer reports to the com-
manding officer for matters concerning the tactical employ-
ment and operational readiness of the combat systems and the
need for, or progress of, repairs and maintenance. The success of
this deployment and the safe return of all of Ford's officers and
crew were the direct result of many long and arduous hours of
effort by the 65 men comprising the combat systems depart-
ment. I am proud to have been a part of this team. - CSO.
General Mission. The mission of FFG 7 is to provide local area
protection to underway replenishment groups, amphibious
groups, and other military shipping against subsurface, air, and
surface threats, as Well as antiair Warfare QAAWJ, antisurface
warfare CASUWJ, and antisubmarine warfare CASWD self-de-
fense. FFG 7 can also contribute to carrier battle group
QCVBGJ, battleship battle group QBBBGJ, or surface action
group CSAGJ defense.

peacetime steaming, exercises, Anti-Sub
marine, Anti-Air, and Anti-Surface War
fare scenarios. CS-1 division contains two
work centers, CSO1 and CSO2. CSO1 has
20 Operation Specialists whose job is to
operate the radars and radio circuits re
quired to track, display, evaluate and dis
seminate all surface subsurface and air
contacts. They also perform duties of
backup navigator. CSO2 contains the
Electronic Warfare Technicians whose job
is to evaluate electronic emissions and to
classify them into air, surface and subsur-
face contacts which they can further clas-
sify into type, country, and threat.

CS-2 DIVISION
Anti-Submarine Warfare - to search, classify and destroy en-
emy submarines is the job of CS-2 division. Combating the
silent force is accomplished through hard Work and prior plan-
ning to establish complete ASW readiness. Equipment, envi-
ronmental conditions, and personnel training are just a few of
the complex variables involved in ASW operations. With in-
creasing technology and production of enemy submarine forces,
We must continue to use all resources available to ensure the
countries safety is not compromised by any possible aggression.
Winning the 1988-89 ASW Rooftop Training Excellence Award
for the Pacific Fleet has proven Ford's ASW team is the best in
the West.

CS-4 division is an integrated group of electronic technicians,
interior communications technicians, and data systems techni-
cians. Our tenacious attitude and extensive training enables us
to operate and maintain a variety of state of the art equipment
including: navigation systems, interior and exterior communi-
cations systems, radars, computers, and closed circuit television
systems. During the deployment our equipment was main-
tained at the highest readiness level possible, thereby enabling
the shop to respond to any threat.

Made of fire and steel, the men of the Engineering
Department kept the ship fully operational despite the
wind, heat, and sand met on the deployment. Working
in 120 degree temperatures, they provided the ship with
light, air, conditioning, electrical power, water, and pro-
pulsion. The repairs were hard, the hours long, but they
did the job when other ships didn't. Men like: Hump-
dog, round-dog, bald dog, the dozer brothers, snarf,
vann, and gremlin made the plant work. Service to the
ship was their motto and they accomplished their mis-
sion with zeal. The Engineers were always ready and

refrigeration systems, air conditioning systems, distilling plants
and air compressors to name just a few. E-2 met its challenge in
the Persian Gulf fighting extreme heat and water intake tempera-

They definitely put in their share of hours and kept an uninter-
rupted supply of water, electricity, and air conditioning available

Ford's outstanding safety record is
directly attributed to their knowl-
edge and shipwide training program.

Ship's control department is comprised of the Boat-
swains Mates, Radiomen, Signalmen, Quartermas-
ters, And the Deck Seamen. This department has the
distinction of standing the most prestigious watch on
board USS FORD, the life-bouy watch, otherwise
known as the Aft Lookout. Each and every man on
board FORD can feel safe knowing that if he falls
overboard, the life-bouy watch is on station. The
Quartermasters ensure we know where Ford is at all
times, or where FORD should not or does not want to
be due to numerous navigational hazards. The Ra-
diomen keep communications flowing and have the
lucky role of waking up those officers in the middle
of the night so that they can initial those immediate
action messages. The Signalmen are FORD's backup
communicators when those other ships are unable to
talk to FORD because their radios are not Working.
Just recently, this gave them the opportunity to
practice receiving immediate execute tactical signals
via flashing light, most likely the last time such an
opportunity will present itself.
Ship's Control- The department that always has the
best and most interesting stories after each liberty
port.

VIATIO DEP RTMEN
HSL-47 DET 3 provides the only stand off ASW capabilities onboard USS
FORD. Saberhawk 68 along with her technicians and flight crews are able
to prosecute submarines up to 125 miles from the ship with both acoustic
and non-acoustic sensors. ln addition, the aircraft accomplishes surface
surveillance acting as the eyes of the ship looking hundreds of miles
around the ship during each mission. Saberhawk 68 has also performed
VERTREP missions supplying the supply ship Willamette with groceries,
in support of the Helena crisis, and during the inchop into the Arabian
CPersianJ Gulf. The air det's greatest accomplishment to date has been
keeping the aircraft up during the hellish conditions of the Arabian Gulf
while performing intelligence missions and special operations. Keeping
the aircraft up had an additional benefit, it allowed us to stay in the NPG
for most of the cruise, thereby staying within three days of MAIL at all
times.

None exemplifies the tenacious attitude of
USS FORD better then the ships helo

of the Fords fighting capability is its helo
and the men who keep it flying. In the
blistering heat of the Persian Gulf to the
angry seas of the Pacific be them mechs,
avionic techs, metal smith, maintenance,

important than the others and by Working
