He was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at An- napolis in 1897. His next 10 years at sea started with duty on the battleship Oregon during the defeat of the Spanish fleet at Santiago, Cuba on July 3, 1898. ln the early years of the new century, he served on the Asiatic Station and saw action during the Philip- pine insurrection and the Boxer Rebellion in China. He was aboard the cruiser Boston at Panama during early construction of the Panama Canal. Admiral Leahy returned to Annapolis in 1907 to teach physics and chemistry. He was promoted to lieutenant commander in 1912 and returned to sea as navigator for the battleship California. Later in the year, he commanded American naval forces during the occupation of Nicaragua. During World War I, Admiral Leahy first command- ed the gunboat Dolphin in the West Indies searching for German supply ships. After serving as executive officer of the battleship Nevada, he won the Navy Cross in 1918 for his role as commanding officer of the troop transport Princess Matoika carrying sol- diers across the U-boat infested North Atlantic to Europe. Between the two world wars, Admiral Leahy served in a variety of posts, including Commander Destroy- ers, Scouting Force, U.S. Fleet, Commander of Bat- tleships, Battle Force, U.S. Fleet and Commander in Chief, Battle Force, U.S. Fleet. He became a vice admiral in 1935 and was appointed Chiefof Naval Operations in 1936. He advanced to admiral in 1937 and retired on August 1, 1939. Admiral Leahy's retirement was short-lived. Presi- dent Roosevelt in September of 1939 appointed him ambassador to Puerto Rico, a strategically important island to the U.S. as the forces of war gathered strength in Europe and Asia. Then, in November, 1940, the President appointed him ambassador to unoccupied France. For 18 months, Admiral Leahy used his four decades of experience to strengthen U.S.-French ties and prevent German forces from occupying Free France. In May, 1940, he returned to active duty as Chief of Staff to President Roosevelt. During the remainder of the war years, he was a personal adviser to...the Presi- dent and participated in war councils at Quebec, Cai- ro, Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam. In 1944, he was appointed the first fleet admiral of the United States Navy. D After the war, Admiral Leahy remained on active duty as adviser to the office of the Secretary of the Navy. He died July 20, 1959. SHIPS HI TORY x-... .- . .. ,..,.,-.,..42dilo4r 5-'Zaurus-1 . Mrs. Michael J. Mansfield breaks the traditional bottle of cham- pagne on the missile frigate's bow. Leahy was officially redesig- nated a missile cruiser QCGD in January, 1978, shortly after pass- ing through the Panama Canal on her way to San Diego. Leahy was constructed by the Bath, Maine Iron Works and commissioned August 4, 1962. After com- pleting a shakedown cruise, she reported to her first homeportg Charleston, South Carolina. The ship made two six-month cruises to the Mediterranean Sea during the next three years. Leahy was decommissioned in February, 1967 at the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia for a complete modernization package. The Naval Tactical Data Sys- tem CNTDSJ and associated ,radars were installed, giving her the most up-to-date computerized weap- ons system in the fleet. The ship was recommissioned in May, 1968 and reported in August to her new homeportg Norfolk, Virginia. Within the next six years, she made four more cruises to the Mediterranean. During this period, she underwent a major overhaul at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. On May 12, 1975, shortly before her sixth Mediter- ranean cruise, Leahy was the first U.S. warship to berth in Leningrad, Russia since the early 1860s and the first U.S. warship to visit the Soviet Union since World War ll. ln all, more than 12,300 Soviet visitors toured Leahy during her five day visit. After completing her Mediterranean cruise in Octo- ber, Leahy was transferred to the Pacific Fleet and Leahy's sailors were given maximum liberty while in Leningrad. Free transportation on the city's trolleys, subways and hydrofoils helped the crew see this historic port city. Bell bottoms were being phased out at this time, so Leningrad inhabitants saw two distinctive types of uniforms. her new homeport, San Diego, in January, 1976. After participating in various fleet exercises off the West Coast, Leahy steamed to the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in September, 1976 to begin a year-long overhaul. During her 12 months in the yards, Leahy received many improvements and modifications in her fire control system, engineering plant, communi- cations system and other areas, designed to assure her of being a viable class leader for another five years. Leahy returned to San Diego in October, 1977. On July 6, 1978, she began her first West Pacific cruise as a member of the Naval Surface Force, Pacific Fleet CNAVSURFPACJ, a 180-ship force charged with pro- tecting our country's interests in the Pacific Ocean. Leahy passed under the Coronado Bridge and entered San Diego for the first time on January 28, 1976. 'The ship's crew mans the rails in a centuries-old custom evolving from the days when the crew members of sailing ships were evenly spaced along the yards and gave three cheers to honor a distinguished person.

In late July and early August, we ran into the edge of two typhoons, Wendy and Virginia, in the area around Okinawa. Several birds, including this one with SM3 Dave Holm, landed on our ship seeking refuge from the storms. The exhausted creatures were quickly adopted and attended to by mem- bers of the crew. Unfortunately, our con- cern for the animals was greater than our knowledge of healing and most of them died. One bird, a long distance racing pigeon found on the deck by BM3 Bill Murray, was cared for by SK2 Ed Gale and returned to its owner by way of the Kaoshiung Pigeon Rac- ers' Association.

CROSSING THE EQUA TOR We cast off lines in '78 And sailed into '79. The seas were calm, the days were hot. We neared the north-south line. O A tally was held among the crew To count the shellback horde. We'll pay our respects to Neptunus Rex, Our master and our lord. But throngs of slimy 'wogs were found, As always is the case. Once more the 'backs put to the task Of showing them their place. The 'wogs ridiculed tradition And mocked the royal court. These games you play bring hell to pay!!! The 'backs said in retort. The pollywogs, those mindless twits, Refused to heed the warning. And the shellbacks knew though they were few, They'd have their special morning. For King Neptune from his royal throne Does rule the raging main, And he decreed to his loyal breed Initiate again. Set up your stocks and judgement halls. Prepare for me a queen. For soon l rise from the murky depths And my court, it shall convene. So King Neptune rose from the sea, At his right hand, Davy Jones. And up the halyard rose his flag, A skull with crossed, white bones. He spoke with a voice that thundered, And he raised a gnarled hand. Now to your knees, you pollywogs, And hear your king's command. You're scum conceived in mud and slime, ' And slithered to the sea. And as from the grace of God go lg You go from the grace of me. So on their hands and knees they crawled, The shellbacks, truth to find. And 'fore too long, it came as a flash. The truth was close behind. And soon the once rebellious 'wogs Gave up their futile fight And bowed down to the master, For they had seen the light. Yes, one by one that sorry mass Appeared before the throne, And begged for his forgiveness. The pollywogs had grown. Accepted now by the hallowed group The new shellbacks could stand. For now they were part of the seven seas, Not merely too far from land. So King Neptune, his work complete, Was once more on his way. And promised fair winds i and following seas, Said we'd meet again some day. by M.J.

We may not always do things the way they're supposed to be done, and we may fuss when we have to do it, but in the long run we get the job done, and we do it well. And that's what it's all about. That's what we've tried to show in this book, the hard work and the times of play, the professionalism and the sense of humor, the exasperation and the pride. And the ship itself. lt's a good one.
