• Mary ' Kohbi-V . Rawalpindi i DESERT SHIELD DESERT STORM 28 NOVEMBER 90 24 MAY 90 The Gull War was JASON ' s fourth war in 17 years ol service. As in previous wars, we had the place l honoi foi tend- ers: closest to the enemy. During this most re ent, and possibl) final, deployment, we had the privilege i l assisting hi| s with genuine batde damage. We experienced the exhilaration of being shot at withoul result (b) SCUD missiles) and we had the opportunity in do whal JASON docs best: to service the ships activel) engaged. Most ol all. we had the honoi to be associated, however much on the periphery, with an extrai irdinar) group ol Americans writing yet anothei chap- ter in the story of human freedom and dignity. We will proudl) add the Southwesi sia Service Ribbon to the ship ' s rib bon bar alongside those from Leyte Gulf, the Marshalls, l lit hi. Korea, a m Vietnam. We lose this c haptei proud ol out association with the Middle Fast Force and our tin) role in the greatei effort. We hope we have demonstrated once again that age is tin onsequential ompared to skills, attitudes and energy. It was a good nine to ! ■ an Amei i an THE MIGHTYJASON She ' s not getting older ... She ' s getting better! In Greek mythology Jason was the leader of the Argonauts, who sailed aboard the ARGO in quest of the Golden Fleece. In the spirit oi his heroic deeds, three ships of the United States .i have proudly borne the name. The first, a monitor, served with distinction during the Civil War, blockading the interdict- ing shipping in both North and South Atlantic areas; the sec- ond, a fuel ship, was assigned to deliver supplies 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 USS JASON (AR-8) is a repair ship whose distin- guished history spans five decades. She was launched April 3, 1943 by the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Drydock Company and commissioned June 19, 1944. World War II was raging when JASON took her place on the line. She sailed first to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, then to Purbis Bay in the Solomon Islands to begin support operations as a member of Service Squadron Ten. From Purvis Bav JASON moved to Ulithi, Caroline Islands for seven months and then to Leyte in the Philippines for the dura- tion of the war. During the period JASON worked around the workload, coupled with the need to spend long hours at general quarters, severely taxed those who served aboard. JASON ' S performance, together with that of other units of Service Squadron Ten, prompted Third Fleet Commander ADM Bull Halsev to commend the squadron for a job well done. JASON survived three separate air attacks in Ulithi and repaired damage sustained by USS MAZAWA, an ammunition ship, and USS RANDOLPH, an aircraft carrier. JASON fab- ricated and installed structural bulkheads for the repair of a number of ships, including USS LEXINGTON and USS CABOT. While in Levete, JASON regunned USS MOBIL and effected repairs to USS IDAHO, USS MISSISSIPPI, USS MOUNT OLYMPUS and USS GUS W. DARNELL. 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 occupation troops. She assisted in the evacuation of Japanese nationals from Korea and China. For the next four years she continued n provide service to ships of the Pacific Fleet, alternating liomep rts between Japan and California. As the Communist menace grew bolder in Korea, JASON spent more and more time in Sasebo, Japan, providing vital support in a conflict where sustained naval power became increasingly important. 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 U.S. Seventh Fleet in a state of maximum combat readiness. In the late fifties and early sixties the Communi st focused their attention on Southeast Asia, and the United States was drawn into the Vietnam War. During this period JASON crew worked arduously repairing battle damage to such ships as USS GOLDSBOROUGH and regunning others such as USS PROVIDENCE. In a conflict where naval gunfire support fig- ured so prominently, such services were crucial in defending American lives. Since the Vietnam conflict JASON has made numerous deployments, including providing services for unites of the Indi- an Ocean Battle Groups in Diego Garcia during the Iran- Afghanistan crisis in 1980-81. Her tradition of supply and sup- port has won her the Battle Efficiency E for the years of 1961, 1962, 1963, 1967, 1971, 1975, and 1980. In 1982 JASON changed her homeport to Pearl Harbor, the site where she began repair services in the summer of 1944. During her regu- lar overhaul in 1982 JASON received extensive modernization in both the repair mission area and in the electrical 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, JASON sailed once again for the Western Pacific in 1983. While in Yokosuka. Japan, she tended ships participating in the search for wreckage and sur- vivors of the KAL 007 disaster. Now in her fifth decade, JASON deploved again in 1985, 1987 and 1989. During her 1989 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. Navy Ships as well as providing assistance to the Pakistan Navy, French Navy, and British Navy.

WHILE THEY ' RE AWAY, THERE ' S ALWAYS SOMEONE MISSING THEM BACK AT HOME. NO MATTER WHERE THEY MAY GO, OR WHERE EVER THE DAYS OF TIME MAY LEAD THEM, ONE DOESNT REALLY KNOW. BUT THE LOVE IN THEIR HEARTS GOES WITH THEM WHEN THE SEAS CALLS OUT TO THEM. IT MAY BE FOR JUST A FEW HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS SOMETIMES ITS REALLY HARD TO TELL. IT MAY SEEM LIKE A LIFE TIME, THAT WILL NEVER END. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ' RE APART FROM YOUR FRIENDS AND THE ONES YOU LOVE. ALL ONE CAN DO IS HOLD THEIR HEAD UP AND LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR RETURN. TO THINK OF ALL THE JOY AND HAPPINESS THAT ONE WILL BRING HOME. THE STORIES ONE COULD TELL OF THE PLACES THEY ' VE BEEN, PLUS OF THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE MET. IT COULDNT COMPARE TO THE EXPERIENCE AND THE KNOWLEDGE, OR THE SELF PRIDE ONE HAS EARNED OR GAINED, WHILE TRAVELING TO FAR AWAY PLACES, NOR DOES IT COMPARE TO THEIR EXPERIENCES BACK HOME. NOW THAT ITS TIME TO PULL BACK IN AFTER ALONG AWAITED RETURN. YOU THINK BACK ON ALL THE TIMES YOU USED TO SIT AROUND AND CUT DOWN YOUR HOME PORT.

ROGER SMITH WEST 90-91 WELCOME U S s J A S o N 164 HOME i..-. Jason returns from Storm USS Jason (AR 8). returns to San Diego from the Persian Gulf War Friday. May 24, af- ter a six-month deployment. A repair ship built in Los Angeles and commissioned in 1944, Jason displays 19 ser- vice ribbons on it ' s super- structure, reflecting service in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Jason recently added the Southwest Asia Service Ribbon as a result of direct participation in the Gulf War. Jason, whose mission is to provide mobile repair services to fleet ships, played a major role in the U.S. Navy presence in the Gulf. Jason ' s tireless efforts and professionalism have been key ingredients in the stunning success realized by our forces in the Middle East, said Vice Adm. Stan Arthur, U.S. Naval Forces Central Com mand, who was the senior Naval of- ficer in the Gulf theater of operations. Jason left San Diego Nov. 28, 1990. and arrived in the Gulf Jan. 14 after stops in Guam, the Philippines and Singapore. In the Gulf. Jason provided repair services to 73 U.S. Navy ships and to nine ships of the British, Belgian, French and Italian navies, completing more than 3,000 repair jobs in a three-month period. After providing repairs at several anchorages near Oman and the United Arab Emirates, Jason arrived in Bahrain Feb. 9 and provided repairs there until April 1. During this period, the ship experienced approximately a dozen Scud alerts when the Iraqis fired the missiles at Bahrain and nearby Saudi Arabia. Also during this time, Ja- son provided extensive emergency repairs to USS Princeton (CG-59 ) and the San Diego-based USS Tri- poli (LPH 10 ) when these two ships struck mines in the northern Persian Gulf. A Jason repair team also as- sisted with the reopening of the port of Kuwait city after the Iraqi army was driven out by the ground campaign. This crew performed magnificently, said Capt. R.W. Tobin (Commanding Officer Jason). Following the cease-fire, they donated their own funds and labor to as- sist in food and water relief efforts for the Kuwaiti people. I am very proud of them. While in the Gulf, Jason craftsmen used 3,710 ft. of piping, 364 sq. ft. of steel and aluminum, 15,000 sq.ft. of insulation and 3,500 lbs. of welding rod. They repaired 54 pumps and 57 electrical mo- tors. They calibrated and re- paired 996 pieces of electronic equipment, 938 mechanical instruments and repaired or replaced 1 , 1 70 valves. 168 i ■ t A « Ji% MM v jik%!iti?i| «tM a •iHUtiiur Vi« jii  - «r • Hfm h 1 v In memory of our fallen shipmates Lance Cpl.
