ADMIRAL JOHN LESSLIE HALL JR. C1891-19785 General Dwight D. Eisenhower gave him the nickname Viking of Assault. General George Patton, tough critic of fellow military leaders, heaped high praise on him. He was one of the toughest and best athletes in the history of the U.S. Naval Academy. The descriptions of Admiral John L. Hall Jr., for whom the ship is named, were befitting of his huge frame, his dar- ing military exploits and his prowess as an athlete. However, to Dr. Susan Hall Godson, his niece and biographer, he was a 'fgentle giant, with more than a fair share of humility. Admiral Hall was a brilliant attack force commander of World War II and former Commander Amphibious Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. He was Chief of Staff of the Western Naval Task Force during the North African landings in 1942 and received the Distinguished Service Medal for opening ports and preventing sabotage while Commander Northwest African Sea Frontier. In February 1943, he became Commander Amphibious Force North African Waters CEighth Fleetj, expertly cross- trained Army artillery-men and Navy gunners so that his ship call-fire missions could be conducted in direct support of troop advance rather than firing at fftargets of opportunity. His concept proved devastating to enemy forces and tank divisions as he led one of the major assault forces engaged in the Sicilian Occupation C9-12 July 19431 and bitterly con- tested landings at Salemo C9-21 September 19435. These bold achievements brought him two awards of the Legion of Merit. In November 1943, he took command of the ELEVEN TH Amphibious Force in England, earning the Army's Distinguished Service Medal for his superb leader- ship of the Amphibious Force O which landed and so effectively supported the Army V Corps on the Omaha', beach sector off the coast of Normandy in June 1944. He received a second Navy Distinguished Service Medal for command of the Southem Attack Force CTF 553 during the invasion throughout the Okinawa campaign. In October 1945, he became Commander Amphibious Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. He later was Commander of the Fourteenth Naval District and Commandment of the Armed Forces Staff College at Norfolk, Virginia. From August 1951 until his retirement in May 1953, he was Commander Western Sea Frontier with additional duty as Commander Pacific Reserve Fleet. Admiral Hall was a native of Williamsburg, Virginia, and attended the college of William and Mary for three years before transferring to the U.S. Naval Academy where he graduated in 1913. He started in football for three seasons at William and Mary and for four years at the Naval Academy. As a matter of fact, he excelled in three sports at the Acad- emy and was awarded the coveted uAcaderny Sword for athletic excellence. Admiral Hall passed away in 1978 at the age of 87. thx V. 5,1 L 5 USS JOHN L. HALL CFFG-325 JOHN L. HALL is the twenty-sixth ship of the OLIVER HAZARD PERRY class of guided missile frigates and is home-ported in Pascagoula, Mississippi. USS JOHN L. HALL was built by Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine and was commissioned on 26 June 1982. The ship is 453 feet long, has a beam of 47 feet, a navigational draft of 26 feet and dis- places 4100 tons. JOHN L. HALL's mission is to provide in-depth protection for military and merchant shipping, amphibious task forces and underway replenishment groups. Assigned to DESTROYER SQUADRON SIX, JOHN L. HALL concentrates operations in the Caribbean Sea and near South America, conducting counter-drug operations and bi-laterallmulti-lateral training exercises with South Amer- ican navies. JOHN L. HALL has a weapon system capable of delivering surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-surface missiles, a 76mm Rapid-Firing Dual Purpose gun which is used to defend against both surface and air targets, Close In Weapon System which fires tungsten rounds at 4500 rounds a minute for missile and aircraft defense and two MK 46 torpedo launchers for hostile submarine contacts. The ship is capable of embarking two Light Airborne Multi-Purpose CLAMPS HD helicopters that integrate fully with the Undersea and Surface Warfare weapon systems. The shipis sonar provides JOHN L. HALL with both passive and active capabilities in the electromagnetic spectrum. The engineering plant of JOHN L. HALL is also very versatile. Two General Electric LM2500 gas turbine engines drive a 5 bladed Controllable Pitch Propeller. The main propulsion system is a computer-controlled gas turbine power plant. The engines are similar to those used by the DC-10 airliner. JOHN L. HALL's propulsion plant can be on-linen in less than 10 minutes. The Engineering plant provides stable electricity C60 HZ and 400 HZJ, freshwater, refrigeration, air conditioning, electronic cooling water, and Damage Contro1!Firefighting capabilities.

I Cruise Book Staff I would like to take this opportunity to try and explain why it seems to have taken so long to produce the cruise book. I do apologize that it has taken nearly 7 months following the end of the SNFL Cruise 2000 to complete and mail off the cruise book to the publisher. As you look at these pages try realizing that each two page set you look at required a draft layout a variety of photos and then transfer of the draft to a triplicate copy and then all text had to be measured by width and length to fit into each and every text area. Pictures had to be cropped to fit in the areas provided and labeled. Copy sheets had to be done on each and every line of Wikia E. text that you see printed here. I do feel that it is a quality product and that you will 4 Above: Editor for the SNL 2000 Cruise Book, HMC CSWXAWIFMFJ Mitch Doc,' Ritter completes some last minutes things for the cruise book. Right: Doc Ritteris reaction to inquiries about the SNFL Cruise 2001 Cruise book. be proud of and will show it to your family and friends often. I tried to ensure that as many of the crew are represented here in these pages. Unfortunately, having everyone in the photos is not possible. Most of the photos you see here are the pho- tos that I took. Very few personnel contributed pictures for the cruise book. When they did, I tried to use those photos wherever I could. If there is anyone who is offended by this, I apologize, for this was not intentional. I would also like to thank Tony Mallardi for his assistance in helping me com- plete many pages prior to his release from active duty. Tony I'm sorry for there not being a picture of you here. The role of film I took of you and I working on the cruise book did not come out. Your help in this production was invaluable and I wish you well in your new career.
