USS JCHN W. THCMASUN DD-7 60 WESTPAC CRUISE 1961 The USS JOHN W. ETHOMASON QDD-7605, a 2200 ton Sumner class destroyer, built by Bethlehem Steel Company, was commissioned on5QctoiberTll, T945 at San Francisco, California. the rHoMAsoN-as named for comet 'QQHN w. THOMASON, usrvic. Colonel rHoMAsoN, Q World wot ii hero, was noted for hisfhistorical novels of the Civilfvlfar and numerous stories of life in the Navy and Marine Corps. After servingffori three yeqrs in ta, reduced istatus as a Reserve Training Ship, THOMASON embarked on her maiden Western Pacific cguise on 8 December l948.L'sl-leg' principle mission during the cruise consisted of liaison with the American Consulate in the beleagured city of Shanghai. E On Septemberlif30, l95O, with two Far East cruises behind her, THOMASON once again headed for the Far East where she joined Task Force?4SEVENTY-SEVEN in operations directly supporting the Korean conflict. With the cessation of hostilities in Korea, THOMASON could looki back .with extreme pride on eleven. tours of duty in the Far East. ln March l959, the THOMASCN entered the Long Beach Naval Shipyard for an extensive overhaul as the prototype ship in the FRAM MK ll program. Slowly the THOMASON was worked over, repairing all items which required attention and absorbing the latest in electronic equipment. Almost one year later the THOMASON emerged from FRAM ll equipped with a helicopter platform complete with hangar and Variable Depth Sonar which enables her to search for submarines seek- ing safety below the thermal layer. ln October l96O, the THOMASON became the flagship of Commander, Destroyer Division SEVENTY-TWO, and ioined Ready HUK Group A , consisting of USS KEARSARGE QCVS-335, Destroyer Division SEVENTY-TWO, and Escort Division THIRTY-ONE. Cn March 8, l96l, the THOMASON departed for the Western Pacific and distinguished herself by becoming the first FRAM ll ship to make the Far East cruise. With THOMASON pioneering in the FRAM ll program, a new door to modern ships, through conversion instead of high cost construction, has been opened. dafltatnji eaiage i Qfiom : dommancting Lgffiaefz, cg.

The Electronics Technicians are responsible tor preventive and corrective maintenance ot all radio transmitters, receivers, radars, radar repeaters, loran, ECM, and all units associated with these equipments. Whether it be a maior breakdown or a minor tube failure, the Electronics Technicians can be depended upon to make the necessary adjustments with a minimum ot lost time. The Radarmen operate air search and surtace search radars using advanced radar re- peater techniques to locate and accurately track all air and surface contacts. Upon com- pletion ot basic school, the Radarmen must be constantly alert to the latest techniques in IFF and ECM, ASW plotting, navigation, voice radio techniques, and operational maintenance ot equipment to maintain the high degree ot skill so essential to his rate. The Radarmen are responsible tor plotting courses and speeds necessary to keep on the proper station during the many varied drills and exercises conducted by the ship. .-, gf 'mil f f -QS Rx , , N . ,vw .jig .

This division links the THOMASON with the outside world, for without communications we would be like a small floating island, completely oblivious to outside needs and desires. The Quartermasters take bearings, plot courses, and steer the ship on its various tasks and missions. The Radiomen maintain communications by telegraphic means, while the Signalmen use semaphore, flashing lights, and signal flags to get the word out . The Yeomen and Personnelmen handle the various administrative functions and personnel matters for the ship. ' smen keep us healthly and fit for duty and are the men we call for The Hospital Corp when accidents occur. T . L SQ 4 1 L . i .TJG G.C. Rosenberger J.H. Bassett, RMC H.L.

The Boilermen provides the steam, which, in turn, is used to propel the main engines, generate electrical power, and make fresh water tor the ship. The Machinists's Mates primary iob is the operation and maintenance of the engineroom machinery. There have been many things said about the so-called Snipes , but the THOMASON is extremely proud ot her engineering plant, and whether the order is tor flank or normal cruising speed, the M 84 B Divi' sion personnel can be counted on to carry out their orders with speed and efficiency. i , I 'Q .q 4 f f XX X' XSS - 2 'XC' 2 5 .XQQQIQ v .

CRUISE HISTORY On the warm spring morning of 8 March, I96l, the USS JOHN W. THOMASON IDD-760D departed for the Western Pacific-the first FRAM MK II destroyer to do so. As we passed Point Lomql to the old Destroyermen it was a familiar feeling, to the raw recruit the beginning of an unforgettable adventure. After nine days of steaming, the THOMASON entered Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. After two weeks of an intensive Operational Readiness Evaluation IOREJ in MIDPAC, the THOMASON headed for the Far East, losing the 28th of March enroute crossing the International Date Line. The THOMASON's first port of call was Subic Bay, Philippine Islands, where we spent two days, We then proceeded north to Yokosuka, Japan, where we spent a I0 day availability in dry dock, repairing all items that needed attention and installing a new sonar dome. After leaving Yokosuka on the 27th of April, the THOMASON headed south where we spent twenty- one days patrolling the South China Sea. With COMDES DIV SEVENTY-TWO embarked, we operated as part of 'Task Group 70.4, which consisted of the USS KEARSARGE CCVS-335 and embarked Air Groups, Destroyer Division SEVENTY-TWO and Escort Division THIRTY-ONE. We again entered Subic Bay, P. I., on the I7th of May for two weeks and then proceeded enroute to Hong Kong, B. C. C., for six days of rest and relaxation. When the 6th of June rolled around, we, amid boxes, presents, fond memories, and empty wallets, weiged anchor and sailed for Beppu, Japan. During the first few months of our cruise, we had distinguished ourselves by becoming an effective member of our Ready HUK Group. With our Variable Depth Sonar and advanced Combat Information Center, we were repeatedly able to track and hold enemy submarines during our various ASW exercises. After four days in the little Japanese port of Beppu, Japan, we once again engaged in ASW exer- cises enroute to Buckner Bay, Okinawa, where we spent three days. The highlight of our cruise was our visit to Kobe, Japan, where we met our exchange student, Miss Noriko Minekawa, whom we are sponsoring for one year of the school at Racine, Wisconsin, this fall. We held a dayligdt cruise for Miss Minekawa and forty other exchange students and their parents. This was part of the president's People to People program, which THOMASON, alnog with the other units of the Task Group, has supported very enthusiastically during the entire cruise. After our wonderful stay in Kobe, we again headed north for Yokosuka, Japan, for fourteen days tender availability. After seven days in Sasebo, Japan, and two days in the war-torn city of Hiroshima, Japan, we proceeded north for Yokosuka, Japan. After four days of chipping paint, loading stores, and in general getting ready for our return to San Diego, 5200 miles away, we headed east on the 6th of September. The trip home was uneventful, and on the I8th of September, we again passed Point Loma. We were home at last. It vi :UN ff '.'
