THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE USS JASON Western Pacif ic Indian Ocean Deployment 11 May -10 November 1989 The Mighty Jason ' She ' s not ffcttinff older. . . She ' s getting better. . . ' In Greek mythology Jason wns the lender of the Argonauts, who suited iihoard the . IH1() in quest of the Golden Fleeee. In the spirit of his heroie deeds, three ships of the ignited States IK ' nvy have proudly borne the name. The first, a monitor, served with dis- tinetion during the Civil War, blockading and inter- dicting shipping in both North and South Atlantic ar- eas; the second, a fuel ship, was assigned to deliver sup- plies and fuel to ships operating in the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean during World War I and later served in the Pacific. Today ' s I ' SS JASON (AR-Si is a repair ship whose distinguished history spans five decades. She was la unchcd April ,1, 1 94:} by the Los Angeles S hipbuilding and Drydock Company and commissioned June I ' J, 1944. World War II was raging when J.ASON took her place on the line. She sailed first to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, then to Pur bis Bay in the Solomon Islands to begin support operations as a member of Service Squadron Ten. From Purvis Bay JASON moved to Ulithi, Caro- line Islands for seven months and then to Leyte in the Philippines for the duration of the war. During the pe- riod JASON worked around the workload, coupled with the need to spend long hours at general quarters, severely taxed those who served aboard. J.ASON ' S performance, together with that of other units of Ser- vice Squadron Ten, prompted Third Fleet Commander ADM Bull Halsey to commend the squadron for a job well done. JASON survived three separate air attacks in Ulithi and repaired damage sustained by USS MA- ZA WA, an ammunition ship, and USS RANDOLPH, an aircraft carrier. JASON fabricated and installed structural bulkheads for the repair of a number of ships, including USS LEXINGTON and USS CABOT. While in Leyete, JASON regunned USS MOBIL and effected repairs to USS IDAHO, USS MISSISSIPPL USS MOUNT OLYMPUS and USS GUS W. DAR- NELL. In all, JASON completed 52 aircraft carrier availabilities. When the Japanese surrendered August 14, 1945, JASON was at sea. She proceeded to Buckner Bay, Okinawa, and then to Jinsen, Korea, with the first oc- cupation troops. She assisted in the evacuation of Jap- anese nationals from Korea and China. For the next four years she continued to provide service to ships of the Pacific Fleet, alternating homeports between Ja- pan and California. As the Communist menace grew holder in Korea, J.ASON spent more and more time in Sasebo, Japan, providing vital support in a conflict where sustained naval power became increasingly im- portant. Following cessation of the hostilities in Korea, one crisis after another flared up in the Far East and for a period of ten years JASON worked tirelessly with the other ships to keep the all-important L ' .S. Seventh Fleet in a state of maximum combat readiness. In the late fifties and early sixties the Communist focused their attention on Southeast Asia, and the United States was drawn into the Metnam War. During this period J.ASO.X crew worked arduously repairing bat- tle damage to such ships as USS GOLDSBOHOl GH and regunning others such as I ' SS PROVIDENCE. In a conflict where naval gunfire support figured so prominently, such services were crucial in defending American lives. Since the Vietnam conflict J.ASON has made nu- merous deployments, including providing services for units of the Indian Ocean Battle Groups in Diego Gar- cia during the Iran-Afghanistan crisis in 19S0-S1. Her tradition of supply and support has won her the Battle Efficiency E for the years of 1961, I9li2. 1911:}, 1967, 1971, 1975, and 19St). In 19H2 JASON changed her home- port to Pearl Harbor, the site where she began repair services in the summer of 1944. During her regular overhaul in I9S2 J.ASON received extensive modern- ization in both the repair mission area and in the elec- trical and main propulsion areas, preparing the ship for many more years of superior service. Continuing her 40 years of providing front line mobile repair services to forward deployed ships, JAS- ON sailed once again for the Western Pacific in 1983. While in Yokosuka, Japan, she tended ships participat- ing in the search for wreckage and survivors of the KAL 007 disaster. Now in her fifth decade, J.ASON deployed again in 19S5, 19H7 and I9S9. During her 19S9 deployment she was awarded the battle EE for the eighth time. This deployment took her back to the Western Pacific and the Indian ocean where she tended numerous U.S. Na vy Ships as well as providing assistance to the Paki- stan Navy, French Navy, and British Navy. i Table of Contents PAGE 2 JASON HISTORY 6 CO BIOGRAPHY S XO BIOGRAPHY 12 DEPARTURE 14 MAPS 17 PORTS O ' CALL 15 HAWAII 20 PHILIPPINES 22 DIEGO GARCIA 26 RASAL ' HAD 28 PAKISTAN 32 THAILAND 34 HONG KONG 36 JAPAN 38 CROSSING THE LINE 40 WOG DAY 42 QUEEN CONTEST 46 SLIMY WOG ' S 54 JASON TALENT SHOW 58 JASON ' S MISSION 62 DEMOLITION CREW _ 66 JASON CREW 68 ADMIN DEPT 72 SAFETY DEPT 73 CHAPLAIN OFFICE 74 MEDICAL DEPT 75 DENTAL DEPT 76 OPERATION DEPT 80 HBO TEAM 82 DECK DEPT 88 ENGINEERING DEPT 100 REPAIR DEPT 126 SUPPLY DEPT 136 YOU THOUGHT WE FORGOT YPU 142 SUNf)AY AFTER- N6bN ' S 144 JASON JOi ' S 140 COMMUNITY SERVICE 158 VERTREPS t$l PAjnSTANll 163 TIGER TEAM ISa OMECOMING 76 OiE PROUD TOME i? % Sh Captain Michael W.

' I LOADING UP FOR WESTPAC e Stelth Conveyor Belt DEPARTURE 1000, 11 May 1989, the whis- tle sounded over the IMC and then the words, Un- derway, Shift Colors! The weather reflected our mood — some stood for long min- utes, some sighed, but all knew. . .WestPac had start- ed. We ' d been tasked to do what we do best. t -„• 12 When GOD created. . . a military spouse When the good Lord was creating spouses, he was into his sixth day of overtime. An angel appeared and said, You ' re having a lot of trouble with this one. What ' s wrong with the standard model? And the Lord replied, Have you seen the specs on this order? He or she has to be completely indepen- dent, but must be sponsored to get on base; have the qualities of both father and mother during cruises; be a perfect host or hostess to 4 or 40; run on black coffee; handle emergencies without a A TOPS manual: be able to handle the flu, birthdays and moves around the world; have a kiss that can cure anything from a child ' s torn Valentine to a wife ' s or husband ' s weary day; have the patience of a saint when waiting for the ship to sail home; and have six pair of hands. The Angel shook her head slowly and said, Six pairs of hands - No way! And the Lord answered, Don ' t worry, we ' ll make other military spouses to help. Besides it ' s not the hands that are causing the problem, it ' s the heart. It must swell with pride for the spouse, sustain the ache of separations, beat on soundly when its too tired to do so, and be large enough to say, I understand when he or she doesn ' t and I love you regardless. Lord; said the angel touching his sleeve gently. Come to bed — Tomorrow! I can ' t, said, the Lord. I ' m so close to creating something unique. Already I have one that can heal itself when it ' s sick, can feed three unexpected guests who are stuck in the area due to bad weather, and can wave good-bye to it ' s spouse from a pier and understand that it is important to our country that he or she leaves. The angel circled the model of the military spouse very slowly. It ' s too soft, she sighed. But tough, said the Lord excitedly. You cannot imagine what this person can do or endure. Can it think? Can it think? It can convert 1400 to 2 p.m. Finally, the angel bent over and ran her fingers across the check. There ' s a leak, she pronounced. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model. It ' s not a leak, said the Lord. It ' s a tear. What is it for? asked the angel. It ' s for Joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride! You are a genius, said the angel. The Lord looked somber and replied — 7 didn ' t put it there. 13 The Adventure Begins. . .

Originally designed as a heavy hull repair ship for repairing battleships and aircraft carriers during World Warr II, JASON ' S repair capabilities have been ex- panded over the years and are extensive, sophisticated and varied. The Machine Shops, Foundry and Pattern Shop manufacture and repair pumps, diesel engines, valves, compressors or any other item composed of the various grades of bronze, steel (including stainless) or aluminum. The Hull Shops repair watertight doors and hull structures, including boiler air casings and vent ducting, as well as fabricate items from stainless steel, aluminum and gal- vanized sheetmetal. The Weld and Pipe Shops replace deteriorat- ed sections of all types of piping, including high pressure steam (1200 psi) weld-in valve systems. Special equipment is available for repairs requiring precise heat control. The Sail Locker manufacturers boat covers, awnings and windscreens and reupholsters furniture. The Electric and Interi- or Communications Shops rewind AC or DC motors and repair generators, switchboards, gyrocompasses and interior communi- cations systems. The Electronics Shops repair and calibrate most of the electronic equipmen t in the fleet today, including communi- cations teletype and cryptographic equipment. Additionally, JASON has a Drafting Shop, Print Shop, Photo Lab, Typewriter Repair Shop, Watch and Clock Shop and a Me- chanical Instrument Repair Calibrating Laboratory whose stan - dards are based upon the National Bureau of Standards. The Ord- nance and Optical Shops repair weapons, binoculars, sextantsand other optical equipment. A diving team is assigned to JASON when deployed, and these personnel make underwater hull inspections, manufacture and install cofferdams, change propellers and complete various un- derwater hull repairs. JASON ' s non-destructive test branch pro- vides a full range o f testing services using visual, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, radiographic and ultra-sonic procedures.

They worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week to improve the habitability of the ship. They rebuilt the messdecks and galley. Wardroom and Wardroom vestibule; created a new Tech. Library; and a new head on the 01 level. In addition, the entire 02 level was torn apart and converted to a modernized Supply Support Division. They also built a new Ship ' s Store, post office and salad bar area, known as Taco Bell. The old serving line. New Mess Decks Tech.
