Its upper right corner bears the charges of the coat-of-arms of LA SALLE s family an eight-point star and a rabbit. The fort on the lower left side represents Fort St Louis which was built by LA SALLE in 1682 on the banks of the Illinois River. The elevat- ed ground' on which the fort stands is known as Starved Rock. The city of La Salle is not fasr from the site of this fort. The background anchor symbol- izes the Navy and the sea' the motto across the anchor s base Facilitas Ad Marem translates Versatility At ea THE FIRST LA SALLE The first ship of the U.S. Navy to bear the name LA SALLE, a troop transport, was commissioned on March 31, 1943 as USS HOTSPUR CAP 1021. Her name was changed to LA SALLE on April 6, 1943. During World War II, LA SALLE served with distinction in the Pacific earning eight Battle Stars, the Navy Gccupation Ser- vice Medal and the Philippine Repub- lic Presidential Unit Citation Badge. She decommissioned on 24 July 1946, and her name was stricken from the Navy rolls on 15 August 1946. LA SALLE'S NAME Amphibious Transport docks QLPDJ are named for cities which take their names from explorers and develo- pers of the United States. thus LA SALLE is named after the city of LA SALLE Illinois which took its name from the French explorer Rene Cavel- ier Sieur de La Salle The city of La Salle is located in the prosperous agricultural and indus- trial Illinois River Valley in north cen- tral Illinois. La Salle was founded in 1827 when the Illinois Michigan Canal was planned and was incorporated as a city 1852 Its development has been marked by the influences of explorers, missionaries, pioneers, traders, and emigrants. In 1832, Abraham Lincoln enlisted in the Army at La Salle. The city has been a virtual cross- road of America, giving it a colorful, rich history. Today, La Salle is a city of some 12,000 citizens employed in the manufacturing of clocks and watches, cement, electrical goods, chemicals, and shoes. La Salle has benefitted from the gifts of abundant natural resources and from the energetic people living in that modern, progressive American community. I I 9 a a . .

He left the reli- gious life of a Jesuit Novitiate to become an explorer and developer of America. He arrived in Canada from France in 1666 and developed trade at Fort Frontenac and was granted a patent of nobility. He then re- turned to France and obtained a patent to build fdrts, explore and trade. When he came back to America he brought with him Henri de Tonti, who was his lieutenant in later enterprises. After building a blockade at the outlet of the Ni- agara River in 1697, he set out across the Great Lakes, to what in now Green Bay, Wisconsin, then by land along Lake Michi- gan to erect Fort Miami on the site of pres- ent day St. Joseph,kMichigan. He next pro- ceeded along the Illinois River where Fort Creve Coeur was built. He sent an expedi- tion to the upper Mississippi while he re- turned to Fort Frantenac for supplies. He returned to find the Illinois Posts deserted by Henri de Tonti, whose work had been in- terrupted by Iroquois Indian attacks. La Salle organized an Indian Federation of the Illinois, the Miami, and small tribes to fight the Iroquois. I Reunited with Tonti at Macinac Is- land, La Salle descended the Mississippi River with a small party that reached the river mouth on 09 April 1682. He took pos- ' far A- if lt if . 1 I t XX:.,w,.' . Q If - QXN, 'M ta . ,.,,wfz.f ,z,:ff,-., , . 'err' W 'X 'j'5iT..

N .,t, X . -. ., X --ss session of the whole Mississippi Valley in the name of France, calling the region Loui- siana. La Salle completed Fort St. Louis in 1683 and left for France, where he obtained power to colonize and govern the region be- tween Lake Michigan andthe Gulf of Mex- ico. He set sail from France in four ships, hoping to reach the mouth of the Mississip- pi, but diasaster overtook the expedition. One ship was captured by Spaniards, a sec- ond was wrecked and a third turned back to France. The coast of the Gulf of Mexico was such a sandy sameness to the eye that La Salle did not find the mouth of the Mis- sissippi. Instead, he landed on the Texas shore, probably at Lavaca Bay, an arm of Matagorda Bay. From here, futile attempts were made to reach the Mississippi over- land. His men grew mutinous. The great ex- plorer died in 1687 while attempting to find the Mississippi. He was murdered by his own men. 'N-sua,f43,,Wi..,,,X,X.,..

Mobili- ty flexibility and versatility were the trademarks of these ships. Each could transport over 800 combat-ready Ma- rines' along with their equipment vehi- 'cles ammunition fuel and cargo at high speeds to the site of an amphibious operation. A variety of boats cranes elevators and conveyors plus the abili ty to embark helicopters could be ut1l ized to enable these operations to be conducted quickly and efficiently Taking this capability to the fleet LA SALLE s operating schedule has been far from routine She has demon strated her flexibility in numerous var red operations In 1965 she served as the flag ship for Atlantic Fleet am ph1b1ous forces during the Dominican Crisis That same year she participated in the evacuatlon of Construction Ba tallion SIX from Guantanamo Bay Cuba during the Cuban M1ss1le Crisis In 1966 LA SALLE became the first ship of her size to successfully recover and return a Project GEMINI space capsule to Cape Canaveral During 1969 LA SALLE served as the test platform for the prototype AV 8 HAR RIER VTOL QVert1cal Take Off and Landingj fighter-bomber In 1972 after an extensive over- haul LA SALLE was designated as a Miscellaneous Command Ship CAGFJ and assumed duties as flagship for Commander Middle East Force Painted white to reflect the hot Middle East sun The Great White Ghost of the Arabian Coast has steamed an av- erage of 55 000 nautical miles annual- ly in that role calling on ports in Africa Asia and the Middle East. LA SALLE assisted in the evacu- ation of 260 American and foreign civi- lians from the Iranian seaport of Ban- dar Abbas in 1979. She became the fo- cal point of U.S. activity in the Arabian Gulf at the outset of the Iranian Hos- tage Crisis The combination of the Crisis The combination of this crisis and the initiation of the Iran Iraq War which began in 1980 brought about a dramatic increase in the command and support responsibilities placed on the ship and her crew USS CORONADO relieved LA SALLE in November 1980 and the Great White Ghost returned Stateside for the first time in 8b years On ar rival she began a major overhaul which included increasing her air con d1t1on1ng capacity replacing and up grading the ship s four turbine genera tors adding an extensive electronics and communications package and re placing two 3 50 caliber guns with the MK15 Close In Weapons System CCIWSJ USS LA SALLE returned to the Arabian Gulf and resumed flagship du tiesfor COMIDEASTFOR in June 1983. Since then, she has continued to provide the embarked staff with reli- able command and control facilities, all the while providing ongoing and varied support to the other Middle East Force ships operating in the area. In 1984, LA SALLE embarked three CH-53 helicopters and associated equipment from Helicopter Mine Countermeasure Squadron 14 to con- duct minesweep operations in the Red Sea in response to anonymous attempts to disrupt the free passage of shipping there. In the beginnig of 1986 LA SALLE was dispatched to conduct contingency operations off the coast of Yemen inthe Gulf of Aden during that country s civil war. With the onset of the gulf Tanker War LA SALLE has continued to serve as the command platform for Commander Middle East Force to coordinate force operations in the gulf. LA- SALLE played a vital role in March 1987 as both a flagshipand a logistics support ship during Northern Arabian Gulf contingency operation while the Arab League convened in Kuwait By providing needed fuel and supplies LA SALLE ensured the other ships of Middle East Force were able to remain on station for an extended pe- riod during this operation. In May 1987 LA SALLE rushed to the aid of the stricken U.S frigate STARK, which was adrift and still burning following an Iraqi missile at- tack. Initially LA SALLE provided crucial fire-fighting damage control and medical aid. Over the next days the ship and her crew became home and family for the surviving STARK sailors Until the arrival of the U S. tender ACADIA in June 1987 LA SALLE saw to initial repair require- ments of STARK, provided accommo- dations to her crew and served as a investigation and public relation func- tions associated with the tragic event. 4 an 19 , 7 7 7 7 ' 9 7 7 7 s 7 7 ' ' ' GE , . 7 , 77 , . 9 9 , 7 7 7 Q 7 7 7 7 7 , 7 7 7 ' -7 , , - . . . . 4 . . . u n u I . - , , . . . . , , . u n c u . .

' l ' ll ' , - - 7 4 During the ensuing months LA SALLE served as a command platform for the re-flagged Kuwaiti tanker es- cort operations. Iran resorted to plant- ing mines to counter the escort opera- tions. During the first escort operation, the tanker BRIDGETON struck a mine, and the United States resolved to stop these Iranian tactics. In September 1987, U.S. forces caught the Iranians red-handed. The Iranian minelaying ship Iran Ajr or Rakeesh, was in the middle of laying mines so U.S. forces permanently de- commissioned the ship. LA SALLE sent as prize crew to occupy the ship, and the captured Iranians were brought aboard AGF-3. The detainees, as they became known, spent two days in LA SALLE's upper vehicle stowage before being transferred to the Red Crescent. The Iranian ship was the first ship since World War II to be comman- deered by American Forces. In the fol- lowing months many escort operations were successfully completed and LA SALLE continued to play a vital role as MIDEASTFOR flagship. Mobility flexibility and versatility are as much the trademarks of LA SALLE today as they were 23 years ago. The Middle Eastern and Western Indian Ocean countries continue to in- crease in importance as an area of con- siderable global interest both economi- cally and politically. f'5 1 2 fi 2, WMI?-viltlbillg f'X ls.,.fQ-I' 9 9 N U ' I1 7 7 9 . 1 l ,l ff. s I 1 IQHJ 4 l Q '- , fl.

BMCS CSWJ BM2 Division LCPO New Orleans, LA Boatswain s Mates have always been known as Jacks of all trades. In Second Division this is more than true Follow- ing the leadership of BMCS CSWJ Hughes and BM2 Boyd Second Division personnel are always out and about. This Division stands underway Watches along with First Division. When not on watch a major evolution they are in- volved in is the underway replenishment . . transferring fuel and cargo from ship to ship. These men are also responsible for well deck operations such as launching and recovering the ships two Mike Eight boats. They are also charged with maintenance of the M-8s as well as keeping the Admiral s Barge in top shape. Division LPO Additionally Second Division ensures the lower vehicle stowage is kept in 4.0 condition along with the sideports and Quarterdeck. The Quarterdeck is the first place visitors to LA SALLE see the Second Division takes Great Pride mak- ing sure all LA SALLE first impressions are good ones. Of course with all their duties LA SALLE S Boat- swain siMates still practice the fundamentals of Marlinspike Seamenship. Without the proper knowledge and skill in tying knots and splicing line jobs as simple as working over the side or as complex as an UNREP could not be done safely. 9 I Albin, L.E. Alcantar, C.M.

All you have to do is call a plumber. If a fire breaks out, you call the fire department. If you need a special part made or some welding done, you take it to a machine shop. But at sea, with no land in sight, these types of problems could be a disaster. To keep all these and many more problems under control, LA SALLE depends on Repair Division. Hull Technicians, Machinists Mates and Damage Controlmen aboardVLA SALLE per- form three main, indispensable functions - shipfitting, fab- rication of machinery parts and damage control. The HT's are a ship's first line of defense against ship- board disaster. All are trained to fight fires, control flooding and contain and control flooding. The MR Shop is a complete machinery repair facility. Much of their work is in direct sup- port of other departmental repair jobs. They fabricate and repair parts for a wide assortment of equipment. Throw in an occasional engraving of a sign or plaque and you can easily FISCHER, D. F. MRC R-DIVISION LEADING CPO see how our Machinist's Mates stay very busy, indeed. Last, but certainly not least are LA SALLE'S Damage Controlmen. They are tasked with the demanding job of training in-port and at-sea fire parties and rescue and assis- tance teams. The main function of the DC's, though, is to maintain the ship's essential damage control equipment and keep it in top operating condition so it is ready in an emergen- cy s1tuation. Though the rates and responsibilities of the men in Re- pair Division are widely diversified, their mission is similar and the work centers blend to create a team with one goal: Keep the ship running smoothly and be ready to handle any emergency that may arise. This is the mission of Repair Di- vision and LA SALLE'S is one of the best in the fleet. Tifft, R. Gipson, L. Abel, C. J. B tt A.

CS IVISIO sMC HOSEY Cys LCPO If CR Division is the new era in communications, then CS Division is the traditional. A With radio communication being state-of-the-art, you would think the older, traditional forms of communicating would be outdated. That could not be further from the truth in CS Division. CS Division utilizes timeless techniques in communicat- ing with other ships. Using hand held flags or lights the Sigs Gangv can send messages to ships with semaphore, a visual alphabet depicted by placing the left and right arms in a num- ber of positions. The use of flag hoists is another of the tricks of their trade. By raising flags or pennants the Signalmen sM1 TONY REID Cfs LPC can send a coded message or simply indicate a particular shipboard evolution such as anchoring or flight operations. Another form of visual communications employed by CS Di- vision is the flashing light. A series of long and short flashes of light utilizes Morse Code, and can quickly send a message to another ship. Signalmen can communicate with anybody in the world by using international and allied codes. LTJG Macduff is the boss in the division, with SMCCSWJ Hosey and SMI Reid sending the right signals to the rest of the troops in CS Division. BERNARD, D. C. EATON, M. A. FORD, P. A. GRIER, R. J.

OE DI 1s1o Sills, W. M. CWO3 EMO In Operations Department, there are the operators and the technicians. OE Division is made up of the techs. Respon- sible for all the shipls electronic equipment, the Electronic Technicians and Electronic Warfare Technicians maintain more than 3,000 separate pieces of equipment. The ET's are involved in preventative maintenance and corrective repair for several vital systems. Radar and radio communications gear are the most apparent, but the ET's also beacon the satellite navigation system, all weather sys- tem gear and provide calibration services for Middle East Force. They also maintain the shipls SNAP-II computer sys- tem of 17 terminals, shipwide, and the MARS radio system. Freeman, J. R. ETCCSWJ San Diego, CA The EW's use passive electronic warfare systems to ful- fill their mission. The best way to describe that job is to say 'cthey listen to surface and air contacts and fingerprint the sender. Using a sophisticated system, they detect and identi- fy the signals and the ship or plane emitting those signals. 'LN X Allen, M. S. Braswell, K. L. Byerly, J. W. C . YNSN ET2 ET3 K' D' lgenme, J.

LA SALLE,s supply line is long S- 1 one with many turns and bends . . . but, thanks to Supply Departmentls S-l Divi- sion our needs are met regularly and reliably. One of the most important tasks for S-1 is COSAL management, a system designed to ensure parts are in order and arrive before they are required, so there is as little down time as possible. For this, and all other supplies, S-lfs Storekeepers make requisi- tions of every kind, then track the requisition to ensure timely delivery. Keeping tabs of our on board stock, consumables like pens, pencils and paper or repair parts like cable, fuses and valves is a major SK function. Tracking shipboard departmental and divisional budget is another S-1 task, as is customer service, because the SK'g are always ready to lend a hand with the ordering of a partic- ular part or item. S-1 is also assigned the important job of arranging and paying for all of our port services such as wa- ter, electricity, trash pick ups, bus and vehicle rentals and maintenance. The SK,s also work with our husbandry agent in order to make local purchases quickly and cost effectively when the need arises. D. R. McWilliams J. L. Norton W. A. Sampson S. C.

One of the SH s jobs is operating the Ship s Store which hosts up to 100 customers daily. There the crew members can stock up on necessity items such as soap shampoo and tooth- paste. Uniform items are also available as well as watches stereo equipment cassette tapes and other- luxury goods. And of course there is always a supply of Geedunk available including potato chips candy bars soups and other snacks. Along with that the SH s are responsible for keeping our soda machines full. During the heat of Summer LA SALLE s crew will drink up to 250 cases of soda each day. The laundry processing over 2 000 pounds of laundry per week is also a function of the S-3 Division. With up to 25 customers each day the LA SALLE Barber Shop keeps our sailors looking ship-shape. Another service provided is mak- ing mail-order sales to the Navy Uniform Support Center and through Navy Exchange Catalog. S-3 s motto is We are working harder to serve you bet- ter. Where Ship s Servicemen are concerned service is not just a motto its a promise! Jackson, C. SHC New Iberia, LA Tatum, O. C. SH3 East St. Louis, MO X i Blue J. E. Brazel L. J. Elbode W. H.

S-4 man- ages the pay records of all crew members and embarked per- sonnel. They are responsible for paying 720 men each pay day, as well as processing and liquidating travel claims, start- ing and stopping allotments for family support, savings bonds, checking accounts and charities. The DK,s at S-4 also compute the proper amounts for cost of living allowances, sea pay, family separation allowances and VHA payments. Uni- form and civilian clothing allowances are also a good reason to visit the Disbursing Clerks. When LA SALLE visits other ports in the Arabian Gulf - and even here in good ol' Bahrain, S-4 is our first stop for money exchanges. From Dinar to Rials, they make sure we've got the right change. The Disbursing office also acts as a safe-keep for personal monies and money orders, cash and stamps for the Post Office. Though S-4 is a small division, they are big on accuracy, That is another reason for them being a place on the ship that no one really minds lining up to get to. Barton, K. L. Halliday, K. F.
