Our ship made some very significant contributions to fulfill the aims of our country's national defense posture. LANG excelled and was recognized for her superb performance in the full spectrum of her Navy missions whether it be Anti-submarine Warfare or Overseas Diplomacy. When l say the ship please understand that this means YOU, her crew. After all, the ship is really nothing more than a very complex maze of steel which cannot operate with out men. All of our accomplishments were human accomplish- ments and they were attained by long hours of training, preparation, and actual operations, oft times at the expense of our rest, liberty, and families. For your dedication to your ship and her tasks, I sincerely thank each one of you. I hope when you have the opportunity to look at this book in the future, that you will be reminded of a great cruise and some good times with your shipmates. My best to all of you and your families, k. A. STEWART E Fu, e. se, my of iwe uss LANG OF YESTERDAY USS LANG QFF-10601, an escort ship, is the second ship of the fleet to be named in honor of Seaman John Lang, U.S. Navy. John Lang was born in Curacao, Netherlands West Indies, 17 June 1794, and was later a citizen of New Brunswick, New Jersey. At one time, before the outbreak of war in 1812, he was impressed into British Naval service which eventually resulted in his arrival in this country. During the War of 1812, Lang served in the 18-gun ship, WASP. ln an engagement with the British sloop of war, FROLIC, 18 October 1812, his ship had her braces shot away. The rest of WASP's rigging was shattered and it was feared that the mast of the WASP would fall and thus enable the FROLIC to get away. While the WASP maneuvered to fire another broadside and board FROLIC, her forecastle swung under the FROLlC's bowsprit. At this time, Seaman John Lang, remembering previous experiences with the British, scrambled over netting and tangled rigging to FROLIC's main deck. His daring act so stirred the crew of WASP, that every available man followed him aboard the FROLIC to clear her decks in hand to hand combat. Both warships had been dismasted in the fierce fighting. Shortly after FROLIC surrendered to WASP, the 74-gun British frigate POICTIERS loomed on the scene and WASP fell into enemy hands. Later, when prisoners were exchanged in Bermuda, Seaman John Lang again returned to the United States Navy to serve on board the captured British frigate MACEDONIAN. He later became a merchant seaman in the West Indies Trade. John Lang died in Boston, Massachusetts, 20 January 1838. an 'I fm?

Her keel was laid 5 April 1937. She was launched 27 August 1938 and commissioned in New York Navy Yard 30 March 1939. LANG had a length overall of 341 feet, extreme beam of 35 feet, 6 inches, standard displacement of 1,850 tons, mean draft of 10 feet, 9 inches, a designed speed of 38.5 knots, and a designed complement of 9 officers and 175 men. She was originally armed with four 5-inch 38 guns, four .50 caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, and sixteen 21-inch torpedo tubes. LANG QDD-399, blazed a spectacular trail through World War ll, sustaining only one two-inch hole in her hull for all her action. LANG participated in nearly every major Pacific campaign and lived up to the name she bore. She encountered the enemy many times, served on numerous patrols, stood guard and escort duties, steamed over mines, rescued the crew of the sinking destroyer 0'BRIEN, and saved 33 merchant seamen and three downed pilots from death in the sea. ln the Solomons, Gilberts, Marianas, and Philippines she bore her share and more of the grim drive toward victory, earning the Philippine Fiepublic's Presidential Unit Citation. Off Okinawa she braved kamikazes and weather for a continuous 92 days. For her efforts she was awarded 11 battle stars. After a short but glorious career, LANG was decommissioned on October 16, 1945.

She was built at the Los Angeles division of Todd shipyard Corporation. The keel was laid on 25 March 1967 and on 28 March 1970 LANG was commissioned as a Warship of the United States Navy. LANG is an integral unit of today's modern Navy, capable of performing in a multi-threat environment. Though her primary function is Anti-submarine Warfare, LANG is well equipped to handle the tasks of Anti-air Warfare, Shore Bombardment, Aerial Search, Patrol and Command functions. The various systems that make up the ship are the most modern available, from the engineering plant to electronic systems to weaponry and to the microfilm efficiency of the supply system. v LANG, with a 4100 ton displacement and a length of 438 feet, can be driven through the water with speeds in excess of 27 knots. She hosts long range radar and sonar, conventional and rocket launched torpedoes, a 5 inch .54 gun, self defense surface-to-air missile system, and carries her own light airborne multipurpose system QLAMPSJ helicopter. All this is complemented by a crew of 230 men and 21 officers. Living accommodations include a TV lounge, sick bay, laundry, ships store, library, and efficient galley and comfortable berthing spaces all centrally air- conditioned. LANG is a unit of Destroyer Squadron 17, homeported in San Diego, California. Since commis- sioning, LANG has been deployed on 4 overseas cruises and has received for her actions the Viet-Nam Service Award lwith two starsl, Armed Forces Expeditionary Award, the Viet-Nam Campaign Award lwith devicel, and the award for combat action.

WHITAKER Engineer Officer LANG's steam propulsion plant, its auxiliary and electrical systems, interior communications and hull maintenance fall within the scope of the Engineering Department. These are the people that make LANG a self-sustaining and mobile unit. Throughout this WESTPAC deployment, long and hard hoursenabled LANG to meet her commitments, as well as those of other ships that couldn't steam for one reason or another. The engineers who made this possible form the four divisions within the department. Down in the fireroom works B Division. Here fuel oil and air are mixed in just the right amounts to produce the steam of 1275 pounds pressure and 950 degrees Fahrenheit that moves, lights and heats the ship. When not steaming the plant, the BT's were deeply involved in the extensive maintenance required by the boilers and their complicated Automatic Combustion Control and supporting systems. Also part of B Division is the Oil King . Here fuel oil inventory and transfer functions are performed. M division is divided between the engineroom and auxiliary machinery room number one. This is where the steam is put to work. The turbine engine converts the steam energy to 35,000 shaft horsepower for the ship's single screw. Two distilling plants provide fresh water for the ship at a rate of 500 gallons per hour. In ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Auxiliary room number one, three turbine generators provide enough electricity to light a small city. The Machinists Mates stand machinery watches underway and perform preventive and corrective maintenance support on these equipments regularly. R Division is a real mixing pot of rates and talents necessary to maintain a ship. The Hull Technicians are the core of the damage control organization. They also provide welding and metal work throughout the ship. The Machinists Mates of A gang provide support of the air conditioning and refrigeration systems and various auxiliaries. The diesel generator belongs to the Enginemen who also maintain the engine that propels the fastest gig in WESTPAC. The Machinery Repair- men provide the talents to machine precision hand- made parts for complicated repairs at sea. C E. Division's Electrician's Mates control the distribution of electrical power, and provide a repair capability extending from changing light bulbs to working on huge electric motors. The Interior Communication electricians are responsible for the complex voice and signaling communications systems on board. The talents of the engineers are many, but their pride is singular. When a destroyer was needed somewhere, the LANG was always ready to steam with confidence. Q LTljgl S. C. Jasper Main Propulsion Assistant DIVISICN MMCS F. Steele MMC C Tumlmson ff 1 MM1 C. MM2 Fl.

WHITE Operations Officer The function of the Operations Department is to provide the ship with navigational, tactical, and communications data and to process this data into useful information. This information is then used to make the necessary tactical decisions required during the ship's operations. Shipboard communications reception and trans- mission, both electrically and visually, is the respon- sibility of OC Division. Fladiomen process the daily flow of incoming messages and send out commuications originated by the ship.gThey also perform operator maintenance on the equipment and the associated antenna systems. Signalmen possess the training to send and receive message and tactical information by flashing light, flag hoist, and the mysterious language of semaphore. Incorporated into this division is the ships post office, which handles the ship's official and personal mail. Ol Division's Operations Specialists staff the ship's Combat information Center and utilize sophis- ticated radar techniques to plot surface and air contact positions, keeping the Bridge informed of the ship's relative position to its surroundings. They also assist in the coordination of target information for surface and underwater attack situations. OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT OE Division is composed of Electronic Technicians who repair, test, calibrate and evaluate the ship's radar and communications systems, as well as the associat- ed test equipment. The ET's are also responsible for departmental training in the fields of operating procedure, maintenance techniques, and electrical and electronic safety. Electronic Warfare Technicians are also part of this division. They function very much the sams as ETs, but specialize in the operation and repair of the electronic countermeasures systems, both in the detection and transmission of these signals. The duties of navigation are overseen by ON Division. Quartermasters assist the ship's navigator in the various aspects of navigation on the high seas. They perform this by using charts and electronic navigation aids, however, the star-fix method is still the most reliable. OX Division performs the ship's administrative needs. Yeomen and Personnelmen work in the ship'S offices, maintaining personnel records, 0ffiCi-9' documents, publications, and performing the myriad Of clerical duties of an independently operating organiza- tion within the vast Defense Department. Also in the division are the Hospital Corpsmen who help keep 3 Personnel healthy and happy, and the Chief Master- at-arms who is tasked to continually moniter the safetY and security of personnel and their possessions. ,111 W - In L. .if We .4 E 1.

GLICK Weapons Officer The Weapons Department is responsible for the ship's surface and ASW weapons, various types of ordance, the use and maintenance of the equipment employed in topside evolutions, and the preservation of the ship's external surfaces. The Boatswains Mates of First Division maintain all the tackle, rigging and machinery used in the ship's many outside evolutions, and they are quite proficient with its operation. During underway replenishments, moorings, and highline transfers, the men of First Division perform many of the vital tasks that are required to ensure a swift but safe evolution under extemely hazardous conditions. These men also have the job of keeping most of the ship's exterior in a constant state of repair and preservation, and rendering assistance to the other departments with the preservation of their areas as the need arises. Second Division contains Gunners Mates and Fire Control Technicians whose work revolves mainly WEAPONS DEPARTMENT around the 5 inch, 54 gun, and the Basic Point Defense Missile System. The Gunners Mates maintain the weapon's electrical and hydraulic systems, and are responsible for the handling and stowage of ammuni- tion. In addition, they take care of all small arms and train others to use them properly and safely. Fire Control Technicians are concerned with the complex target tracking system, of the gun and missile systems. AS Division oversees the operation of the ship's Anti-submarine Warfare equipment. ASROC Gunners Mates attend to the rocket launcher and its related systems. Sonar Technicians maintain and operate the sonar and underwater battery systems, while the Torpedomen maintain the torpedoes and their as- sociated launching systems. Weapons Department personnel stand many of the traditional underway watches ships have always required such as helm watches, surface lookouts, roving patrols, and Boatswains Mate of the Watch. r fftwts Ens.

LYONS Supply Officer A ship is a self-sufficient floating city, and the supply department contributes significantly to LANG's self-sufficiency by providing support services tothe crew. Under normal steaming conditions, the Supply Department goes about its daily duties of supporting the other four departments by providing repair parts, food, pay, laundry service, retail goods through the ship's store, and the best haircuts in the Pacific Fleet. During battle-ready conditions, supply department personnel augment the other departments in manning the ship's battle stations. In order to claim self-sufficiency, LANG must be able to carry out essential repairs to troubled equipment without material assistance from outside sources. The storekeepers of S-1 Division maintain onboard an inventory of more than 19,000 repair parts valued at several million dollars in order to support the ship's organic repair capability. ln addition to their role as inventory managers, the storekeepers also serve as the ship's accountants. ln their accounting capacity, they maintain detailed financial records to ensure that LANG makes good use of every single dollar in its operating budget. S-2 Division has the never-ending task of provid- ing pleasing and nutritionally balanced meals for the officers and men of LANG three and one-half times a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year. During the ship's deployment to the Western Pacific, the Mess Management Specialists of S-2 Division held outdoor SUPPLY DEPARTMENT -.-- - S as .M 3' :S U' cookouts on several occasions, serving such back- home favorites as barbequed ribs, chicken, ham- burgers, and steaks. With LANG spending Thanksgiv- ing day far from home, S-2 Division personnel dressed up the dining facilities in the pilgrim spirit and served a memorable multicourse meal to bring out a festive mood in everyone. The ship's servicemen of S-3 Division operate such essential facilities onboard LANG as the laundry, the barber shop, and ship's store. During the recent deployment, the ship's servicemen conducted a highly successful special order program in which crew members had the opportunity to purchase items of foreign merchandise at considerable savings. In addition, the special order program enabled LANG's retail store to experience its most profitable account- ing period in the ship's history, generating five thousand dollars in profit to turn over to the crew's welfare and recreation fund. S-4 Division may be thought of as the ship'S banker, as well as the smallest division onboard. The disbursing clerk maintains a personal financial record for every member of the crew. He also compui6S individual tax deductions, processes travel claims, sets up automatic allotments, and provides personal check Cashing Service. If you hear of the disbursing clerk making a commercial loan, however, quickly find the Chief Master-at-arms . . . and have him bring his handcuffs!! T ffidl SKC R' Pangan SK1 T.

LAMPS is the acronym for Light Airborne Multipurpose System and det NlNE's Tango Golf 31 has truly been multi- purpose. In over 300 hours of flight time, many different types of missions have been accomplished. In addition to antisubmarine warfare and anti-ship missile defense, TG 31 has flown medivac, passenger transfer, mail delivery, surface surveillance, and logistics support ranging from toilet paper to transducers. Even the cross decking of the entire detachment from the USS LOCKWOOD to the USS LANG was accom- plished by air. l LT. C. E. LAW Officer-in-Charge The SH-2F relies heavily upon shipboard capabili- ties to achieve its effectiveness.

The limited facilities and materials which normally stifle the best of teams were overcome, however, by the many contributions of time and effort by LANG sailors. Special thanks is due to Ensign Ronald Dedels, IC2 Fitzsimmons, and EMFN Daniel Casaday for their extra concerted effort to finalize this publication. Special attention is also due to STGCS Terry Gentner, MMC Cecil Tumlinson, STG2 Steven VanHoogstraat, STGSN Steven McNutt, FTGSN Carsten Kradenpoth, SHSN Donald Hauge, SN William lgo, and SN Kenneth Miller for their various contributions. We hope that you have enjoyed this visual recounting of our last cruise, and though many of you have departed LANG for home or new duty stations we wish each of you fair winds and smooth sailing.
