In 1862 an engagement took place in the estuary at Hampton Roads that revolutionized sea warfare. The Southern Confederacy, hard pressed by the Northern blockade, conceived the plan of fitting iron plates onto one of her old wooden ships, M errimac. The device proved so successful that the North developed a cumber- some-looking vessel called Monitor, which was even more heavily armored than M ezrimac, and had, besides, almost no freeboard. The now-famous battle between these ships sounded the death-knell for the wooden man-of- war, and there began, in Europe and the United States, frenzied construction of armored ships of all kinds. This evolution resulted in the produc- tion, during the early years of the Twentieth Century, of modern cruisers and battleships. Tracing back into the annals of naval history, in an attempt to separate the cruisers from the other warships manned by the navies of the world, however, would be most difficult, if not impossible. The speed, mobility and firepower which mark the cruisers of recent vintage were certainly characteristics sought and often achieved by the ships of many nations over the centuries people have fought upon the seas. The Phoenician, Venetian, Turkish, Spanish, French and English vessels which have ruled the oceans from time to time in history have been given many names and classifications by their builders and naval historians, but the term cruiser is apparently a fairly modern one. The U. S. Congressional Act ofAugust 5, 1882 speaks of 'ccruising vessels ofwar : MNO part of this sum Qthe annual appropria- tion for the Bureau of Construction and Repairj shall be applied to the repairs of any wooden ship when the estimated cost of such repairs shall exceed thirty per centum of the estimated cost of a new ship of the same size and like material . . . . Any portion of the said sum not required for the purposes aforesaid may be applied to- ward the construction of two steam cruising ves- sels of war, which are hereby authorized, at a total cost, when fully completed, not to exceed the amount estimated by the late Naval Advisory Board for such vessel, the same to be constructed of steel, of domestic manufacture,. . . One of said vessels shall be of not less than five thousand nor more than six thousand tons displacement, and shall have the highest attainable speed .... One of said vessels shall be of not less than four thousand three hundred por more than four thousand seven hundred tons displacement, and shall have the highest attainable speed .... The Act ofMarch 5, 1883 read, in part: For the construction of thesteel cruiser of not less than four thousand three hundred tons dis- I 4 r placement. . . Qandj two steel cruisers of not more than three thousand nor less than two thousand five hundred tons displacement each, . . . as recommended by the Naval Advisory Board in its report of December twentieth, eight- een hundred and eighty-two, one million three hundred thousand dollarsg. . .M In accordance with these Acts, keels were layed for both Ailania and Boston in November of 1883, both ships were 283 feet long, displaced 3,189 tons, had a designated speed of 13 knots, and carried 19 officers and 265 enlisted men. Cruisers became gradually larger as time pro- gressed. New York, commissioned in 1893 was 8,200 tons, carried 40 officers and 526 enlisted, and was capable of 20 knots. The cruisers Si. Louis and Milwaukee, commissioned 13 years later, displaced 9,700 tons, were over 426 feet long, and had a designed speed of 22 knots. The '5nodern cruiser developed io- wards the close of ilze last century.

By the late 1920's and early 1930's, however, the CL,s themselves had grown upg be- sides having catapults with which to launch their own aircraft, they were armed with torpedoes, displaced over 9,000 tons and had reached 600 feet in length. About this time all cruisers, hold- ing whatever designation, were redesignated CA's, although with the commissioning of Brookbin as CL-40, this designation was return- ed to in 1937. She and others launched in the mid-1930's were designed for over 32 knots. During this period armored cruisers Qdesig- nated ACR,s Q, the forerunners of our battleships, and scout cruisers QCSQ, the earliest light cruisers, also made their appearance and the overall class of vessel known as the cruiser ex- panded and diversified. A great many CL's and a number of CA,s were turned out during the Second World War, of course, and several under construction were cancelled just as the war came to an end. Among those authorized during the war and completed shortly thereafter were the 10,000 ton Huntington QCL-107D and the 17,000 ton Des Moines QCA-1341. Two CB's, Alaska and Guam, were also commissioned during the warg each displaced 27,000 tons, was over 808 feet long, and carried 73 officers and 1,444 enlisted men. In an article entitled 4'The Carrier, which ap- peared in Fbiing magazine's special issue of anuary 1943 on U S NavalAvzatzon at War Rear Admiral Frederick C Sherman wrote with the advent of air warfare the uses of the battleship began to be increasingly limited and with dive bombers and torpedo planes be coming more numerous and accurate the battle ship requires an air umbrella wherever it is with in range of any enemy a1rcraft His comments of course were equally appli cable to our cruisers operating at that time al though the author admitted the subject was controversial in most of the navies ofthe world Cruisers hacl grown in tonnage and armament by the earbz anal micl-193019, with heavy cruisers like Indianapolis top o 9800 tons boasting eight 5 guns and nine 8-inehers carrying four o her own aircra tana' a catapult and capable of 33-knot speeds Many light cruisers CL s like Cleveland above were turned out during the war while Alaska one o two battle cruisers KCB sj was also completed be ore hos- tilities enclecl T his 27 000 ton warship was over 808 eet long ana' carried a complement ofover I 500.

And then, in 1961, USS Long Beach was launched as the first Nuclear Power- ed Guided Missile Cruiser - CGJVZ9. CCN-9, the third ship of the fleet to be named for the city of Long Beach, California, is only the second to have been so planned, designed, and built for military purposes from its inception. A German Steamer, Hohenklde, constructed in 1892, was acquired by the U. S. Navy and com- missioned for wartime service in Charleston, South Carolina on 20 December, 1917 as a cargo ship- USS Long Beach KAK-9j. She had a speed of 8.5 knots, displaced 5,800 tons and was 330 feet in length. Armed with a single 3,' 50 caliber antiaircraft gun and two machine guns, her assigned mission was transporting coal and lumber between eastern United States cities and ports in England, Ireland, and France in 1918 and 1919. The next Long Beach was a frigate, QPE3-ifj 12 The heel of USS Long Beach was laza' on December 2 1957 m the Fore Rzver Shzpyard ofthe Bethlehem Steel Com pany Qumcy Massachusetts She was launched on june 14 1959 Thecruzser got underway on nuclearpower uh: 5 1961 and was commzsszoned September 9 the same year built by the Consolidated Steel Corporation in Wilmington California she was commissioned on September 8 1943 at Terminal Island Cali fornia She drsplaced 1 430 tons was 304 feet in length and could attain a speed of over 20 knots Departing the United States for Australia in early 1944, she embarked on a busy career in the Far East, she served as a screening escort for troop transports, merchant tankers, and am- phibious vessels between Cape Sudest, New Guin- ea, Humboldt Bay, Wake Island, Maffin Bay and several other Pacific ports. During her Far Eastern tour of 1944, the frigate earned battle stars for her participation in the Bismarck Archipelago Operation, Admiral- ty Islands Landingsg Hollandia Operationg West- ern New Guinea Operationsg and the Leyte Land- ings. She also received the Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation Badge. Following her wartime service, Long Beach was placed out of commission in July, 1945, and was transferred to the Russian Navy under terms of the Lend-Lease Act. The U. S. Navy re- gained custody of the ship in late 1949, and in November 1953, she was loaned to the Govern- ment of japan under the Mutual Defense Assist- ance Program. She now bears the name Shit in the japanese Maritime Defense Forces. . . - V .wfwfe ia.---w ' at --v-vw - - --- ------- --4---A.. -. - ---.. .t .... .. .. . uh.'!.1,,,, .:,..,..f ,f...Vg1'Lgm,,.,,,mm4,,, mga QHH112 ilmmmmnurdlarmih, Qlgimil' immmradl Hisikrixcik iklhne Trmsglrlznzfrim ilinmmmnrdlinqng iTHsIH1Tn:1z110 and Eihipva iimmlpmlmg rrznqymmik Mbna Hmmm mf gunna lpnrmmwnrzrz mt Hmm uimwmmimimmimig mf HEL T510 T50 Mnug Elliilllfh GIEWWSSD nik iHhm2 Emmlnllwr Emmkmm iHm1mk1 mf Mbna Emmfmm iqarmmdl Hhipngarffldl, EHUTHMJTHTI, iHIHIarf1.mrn:hn1r51121HI'rl.a ugh nm fjarilamrrmiarggg adfilmmmmmg 1191111112 ninth mmf EIEHIHHEMIEIIET ninrzihznzm Ihmmmudlmdl Emil siixihgfmm A mf i1'n11rruir:1l:h5in'ifg mwvmrzllmwnilli MER Winans whim '- V, W-.--- , ,. - , ,,71T -i ......- -- i H E E I In I l Weapons Department 'iThere is no subject more intimately connected with the history of the world, from the remotest period, than the history of arms, the fate of na- tions having always depended either on the su- periority ofthe arms employed, or on the supe- rior discipline and dexterity of those who used them, wholly independent of the numbers by which they were opposed. These words, written by Henry Wilkinson in 1841 in his book, Engine of War, have been reproven many times in the intervening decades. The weapons aboard Long Beach, from the conventional 5 guns to the Talos and Terrier missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, promote confidence in ship's offensive and de- fensive capabilities. The research and develop- ment which is continuously taking place world- wide to create more efficient and potent vehicles of destruction makes many of today's weapons obsolete almost before they can be installed upon the ships for which they have been designed. This desire for better engines of warn' has raged since the dawn of pre-history, resulting in a fascinating evolution. One of the earliest weapons adaptable for nau- tical employment was the sling. This invention, tracing back to biblical days, is credited by various sources to the inhabitants of the Balearic Islands Qin which Majorca liesj or to thegreat empire of Phoenicia, whose powerful naviescon- trolled the Mediterranean so long ago. -If' the latter civilization didn't actually invent the sling, they certainly used it effectively as a weapon in their naval battles. In later centuries the bow and finally the cross- bow were developed, and while suited particular- ly well for land operations, they also proved effective as one sailing vessel closed another for boarding and capture. An interesting sidelight in the history of naval weaponry, although out of the field of ordnance, was a kind of crane described by Plutarch, which Hhoisted Roman vessels by the prow, and plunged them to the bottom of the sea. The crane on the fantail of Long Beach has never, at least intentionally, so dispatched any craft, be 14 . .ihilw ZLv.f'A4-x vl ' .. ...-.ma they foes or liberty boats. A unique piece of naval ordnance was reported- ly used by Richard I for when he H. . .set out against the Holy Land, he had in his barges and galleys mills turned by the wind, which, by the force of the sails, threw fire and stones. Gunpowder, as it was introduced into one civili- zation after another, provided a revolution in weaponry. According to the Encyclolbedia Bri- tannica, gunpowder is HA mechanical mixture of saltpetre, charcoal and sulphur. Prepared in the correct proportions it will, when ignited, burn with great rapidity, evolving large quantities of gas. Inflamed in a confined space, the expansile force of the pent-up gases so produced can be used for the propulsion of missiles. There is no certainty as to the actual date of the invention of gunpowder, which was probably somewhat related to the history of the Greek fire. There is evidence that the Chinese knew of the effects of gunpowder several centuries before our era. The common assumption that one Berthold Schwartz invented gunpowder cannot be sub- stantially substantiated. Roger Bacon, who is also frequently mentioned in this connection, was apparently unaware of the propellent qualities of the powder which he described. In fact, saltpetre, the most important ingredient of gunpowder, was not available in refined form Qand the crude vari- ety is useless for military purposesj prior to Bacon's time. It seems, however, that since the second half of the 13th century' gunpowder was employed to expel missiles from projectile weapons. The evolution of weapons during the iweniieth century has been remarkable. Long Beachis Terrier missile system is the shzjnis primary defense against air- borne attack. In the background is the worldfs first nuclear-powered jrzgate USS Bainbridge. . . .. . .W - .... .N Y X Nw N :X , . ,. .Qu-v V: .. ,.,.- -rr ,,,, 4.1: - 4. - -.- . - , .

' 4,,,ff1 -'5 With the introduction of gunpowder tO U16 Western World came the cannon. Introduced into northern Europe in the mid-Fourteenth cen- tury, such early fire-arms probably were more potent for their psychological effect than for the damage they actually caused. These early guns threw stones, individually or in masses. In the Middle Ages there seemed to be an arms race for the development of the largest cannons, although the speed with which they could cast their missiles decreased with size. At the siege of Constantinople both large and small weapons came into play, the Christians used small arms casting five or ten stones at a time, while the Turks had one cannon capable of firing a 600 pounds bullet, although only seven times a day. Another cannon employed there by Mahomed I-I couldihurl a 1,200 pound stone three or four times a day. ' As knowledge increased, improvements were made, the size of cannons were reduced, they were cast in iron and bronze, and fired projectiles of iron. Such weapons were of great importance to land forces, but their adoption by naval units was fairly rapid. At the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 Cduring which a massive Turkish Fleet was overpowered by the forces of Don John of Austria, representing Spain, Venice, Genoa, Mal- ta and the Papal Statesj the Venetian galleasses were fitted with swivel guns, the forerunner of the modern turret. In this battle the heavier allied guns were effective at along range fup to ap- proximately 1,800 yardsj sinking several of the Turkish ships before they could sail close enough to attack. The concepts of both ancient and modern sea warfare was demonstrated when the Venitian Admiral, his own guns having been very effective, was killed by an arrow from one of the enemy's ships. Every schoolboy knows of the Defeat of the Spanish Armada, one of the most famous sea battles of all times. Here, in 1588 it was fire- ships, rather than conventional naval weapons, which resulted in Sir Francis Drakels victory over the Spanish, whose Philip II had vowed to invade England. The range of naval guns increased with the years, Dutch cannon in the 17th century had an 16 -4- V----L-... . A '-1 .L'L1.t. ' : w-4---. approximate range of 2,000 yards, French can- nons of the next century could shoot only 300 yards further, and the best eighteenth century cannons had a range of 3,000 yards, while Monitor and M errimac fought their famous bat- tle at Hampton Roads in 1862 boasting guns which could fire 4,000 yards, according to Cliver Warner's Great Sea Battles. Since exactly a century has elapsed since the Civil War, it is particularly interesting to review the state of naval ordnance in that era. Naval weapons were as varied as the ships themselves. The standard broadside gun in the Federal Navy was the 9-inch Dahlgren. It was supplemented by heavier guns mounted on pivots which could be brought to bear on either beam and which, if located on poop or forecastle, gave a wide arc of fire. Smaller vessels often carried the 32-pounders, 6.4-inch, in various weights, as a broadside gun. New Iromides mounted 11- inch guns on the broadside. The heaviest gun in use was the 15-inch, mount- ed in some of the monitors while the smallest was the 12-pounder boat howitzer. While rifles had more range and accuracy than smoothbores, much of the advantage was lost because of the difficulty of aiming from a heaving, rolling deck. The crude elevating mechanisms did not permit the gun captain to keep the target always in his sight, regardless of the vessel's motion, and the gun was fired at the instant the roll of the ship brought the target into line. Consequently, ranges were kept as short as possible, with con- siderable reliance placed on ricochet fire fthe same as skimming a stone across waterj. Water caps over the fuses helped prevent the extinguish- ing of the fuse as the shell skipped along the surface. Ricochet firing was quite accurate up to about a mile in smooth water, but a rough sea made it virtually impossible. Many rifled guns were used, however. Most of those in the Federal service were Parrotts, ranging from the 8-inch, 150-pounder down to 20-pounders. The Con- federates used many Brooke rifles, which were generally heavier than the Parrotts of corres- ponding caliber. For close range combat, grapeshot and canis- ter were used. Canister was not used much be- yond three hundred yards, although ccgrapew was heavy enough to be effective against ships at up to four hundred yards, and against ex- posed personnel, small boats, etc., at up to one thousand yards. Both grapeshot and canister were used in running past forts as, while incapa- ble of injuring structures, the rapid and continu- ous fire of caseshot from a vessel's broadside usually drove and kept the enemy's gunners from their embrasures. Solid shot was used for battering, smashing walls of forts, or shattering penetrating armor. Shells were used against unarmored vessels Qthe shells of the period invariably broke up on striking all but the thinnest armorj, earthworks, personnel, etc. Carriages used were the old four-wheel truck carriage, the newer two-wheel Marsilly, and piv- ots of various types. The turret guns of the monitors were on fixed slidemounts, which re- volved with the turret. V Aboard CCN-9 are two complete missile sys- tems, ASROC, 5 38 guns and a Mark 32 battery of homing torpedoes. The Talos missile, housed in a dual launcher aft, is lethal against targets at extreme heights, and ranges of over 65 miles. It provides Long Beach with an offensive and defensive weapon against subsonic and supersonic air targets, can destroy aircraft carrying air-to-surface missiles, and is capable of intercepting both aircraft and missiles well away from the ship. Guided to its target on a beam rider, it is also capable of homing on its target. The shipls inner defense against surface and air targets at close and intermediate ranges is the Terrier, a supersonic, solid-fuel radar-guided missile. The ship has two dual launchers, and the capability of transferring its missiles between the forward and after magazines. The launching system components function automatically to deliver missile and booster from the ready serv- ice magazine to the power-driven remote control- led launcher in condition to fire. After firing, the Terrier separates from its booster and begins receiving guidance informa- tion from tracking and guidance radar, these inputs are converted to hydraulic signals, which operate the missile wings and fins in a manner to bring the vehicle into the center ofthe guidance radar beams and maintain it there until detona- tion. The Terrier Qwith boosterj is 27 feet long, weighs about one and one-half tons, and has a range of over 10 miles. Several Weapons Department Divisions are concerned with the fire control aspect of modern warfare, an art considerably more refined today than in even recent history. In the early days of naval gunnery, fire control was merely a matter of the gunner sighting along the barrel of his muzzle-loader, training it by a simple lever, and estimating the range. The weapon was elevated higher by means of a wedge under the breech or by a screwed shaft. Such crude tactics, under- standably, became ineffective as the range of guns increased. Sailors who manned the guns on the old cruiser USS Chicago had onbf guns to ight with, but Long Beach has, in addi- tion to her 5 38 guns, three complete weapons systems - Terrier ana' Talos anti-aircraft missiles ana' ASROC, an antz'-submarine rocket. 17 1 11 it . ul 1 3 1 1 1 E H ! 1 9 1 ELELQEQY -11 11 1 11 i 11 11 ,1 111 11 111 11 1 1 11 11 1 1 H1 111 11 1 1 I ,, 11 11 1 1 11 -1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 111 11 4 1 1 11 11 ,1 1 1 1 1 11 11 '1 T wo offensive and defensive mainstays on inany classes of U S. slzzlos during World War 11 were the 5 38, below, and the 40 rnni,above. These weapons were credi'ted with countless lfills be- tween 1941 and 19452 out the speed of rnodern aircraf required greater veloc- izjz, range and accuracy. Right, an 8 sliell is about to be rammed into a gun in a turret aboard the cruiser Boston in the latter stages of Second World War. An early improvement was the range finder, with calculations worked out so that a gun could be elevated a given number of degrees to have the missile fall on target at the proper distance. Weapons development had avanced to the point that shells could be fired over 10,000 yards by World War I - and this presented new prob- lems. HFirst, according to EncyclopediaBritan- nica, it was no longer possible to fire at the target directlyg allowance had to be made for the projectile's time of flight and the target's speed and course. Second, allowances had to be made for wear of the gun barrels, temperature of the powder, meteorological phenomena affecting the projectile's ballistic qualities and temperature of , 117747271 f. M the guns. Third, allowance had to be made for the ship's roll and pitch. The omission of one of these items might change the range of the pro- tile by several thousand yards. MTO meet all these problems, director firing was instituted. Director firing is essentially the firing of all guns in one battery by use of a director, range finder and computer. uThe director itself is a master gun sight for all the guns in its battery. The director is train- ed continuously on the target, giving the line-of- sight bearing and elevation. These, and the distance to the target as given by the range deter- mining equipment, are fed directly to the computer. . . There are, of course, a greatxmany more com- ponents Qfrom ship's course to muzzle velocity loss through erosionj fed into the computer Which, in turn, provide a continuous output of data such as present range and bearing, ad- vance range, gun train and elevation orders, and fuse orders. The introduction of radar into fire control proved a great advancement. Firing, or more accurate firing, under adverse conditions of visibility or at ranges hitherto prohibiting visual contact now became possible, surface and air targets could be picked up, locked on, and held until coming into the range of the ship 's Weapons. The ASROC Weapons system Qanti-submarine rocketj provides Long Beach with a deadly weapon for use against submarines. Basically the ASROC system is one which detects a subma- rine at long ranges, quickly computes its course and speed, and launches a rocket-propelled bal- listic missile containing either an acoustic-hom- ing torpedo or a depth charge as a payload. After the missile is accelerated, the rocket falls away and the payload continues its flight to the vicinity of the target. just prior to entering the Water, the Weapon sheds its airframe and pre- pares for Water entry. On entering the water, the acoustic-homing device causes the torpedo to in- tercept the submarine for the kill, Whereas the depth charge explodes at pre-determined depth. The range of the rocket is sufficient to enable Long Beach to strike first before a submarine can close sufficiently to launch its torpedoes. ,,n..,,,..,,,,, ,, ,-... .,,, ,...,, . . ..,.... . ,Y,, . ,... ..

Made up of gunner's mates Ctechnicians, missile and gunsj, sonarmen, yeomen and mis- silemen, this important component of the Weap- ons Department performs a diversity of duties that would come as a surprise to comparable divisions on most vessels. In addition to a pair of the fleetis standard - the reliable old 5 38 caliber gun mounts- there are a host of other 'gdestroyern weapons and systems operated and maintained by MOMU on CCN-9. The Mark 16 ASROC fantisubma- rine rocketj Launcher System, a completely re- volutionary development since World War II, is certain death to hostile undersea craft with its rocket-thrown torpedoes or depth charges. This system, capable oflaunching eight weapons with- out reloading, can be fired from either of two stations: Launcher Control or Sonar Control. The sonarmen have the tedious task of trans- lating the assorted pings of their gear and the mysterious sounds of the deep into accurate evaluations of possible subs. Another standby is the Mark 32 Torpedo Battery, an auxiliary anti-submarine weapon used to launch homing torpedoes. The 53' 38,s could be used for shore bombard- ment, engaging enemy torpedo boats or other surface craft, or, as an emergency measure against aircraft. Dependent upon the Mark 56 Fire Control System, it has had a high reliability rating since the second World War. The men who man these mounts have a much easier task than their naval forebearers who fired cannons in anger two centuries ago. As An Universal Dictionary of the Marz'ne, published in England in 1769, described: HCannon are charged by putting down into the bottom first a quantity of powder, one-third or one-half the weight of the ball. This is done with an instrument termed a ladle, which is a kind of cylindrical spoon, generally made of copper . . . .Upon the powder is put a wad of rope- yarn, formed like a ball, which is pressed down upon the powder with the rammer. Upon this wad is put the ball or shot, and to secure it in its place another wad is firmly pressed down upon it .... The touch-hole of the piece is then filled with powder.'7 The ship's Landing Force weapons, Armory and 5 magazines are also the responsibility of MQMN, along with the Ordnance Technical Li- brary and the Weapons Department Office and its many records. Last but not least is the Saluting Battery Qlovingly referred to as the Main Batteryj, a particularly important com- ponent on a modern capital ship.

The Talos Missile Division C'TA j is responsible for the pre-launch phase of this Weapon's firing, while the after-launch phase is handled by FA Division. Talos is the largest anti-aircraft missile used on board naval vessels, weighing over 7,000 pounds with its solid-propellant booster fover 500,000 pounds of thrust in the first five sec- ondsj. Thirty-one feet in length, this bird', is fired aloft by the largest piece of ordnance hand- ling equipment in the Navy - over 350 tons. The pre-launch operations of UTA include the vital maintenance of the missiles and their launching gear, intensive training on 'cdry runs , actual Talos shots., and firings against drones prepares these men for the areal thing should it ever occur. Implicit faith in their weapon and its launching equipment, and the same degree of confidence in their own skilled maintenance and operation fplus an equal trust in FA's ability in the after-launch phasej, leads the personnel of TA to be certain of a Hdownl' target when the bird roars aloft.

On Long Beach, however, firefighting is left to the Repair Parties, while the FT's are assigned the electronic components of the weapons systems. NFA7, Division personnel operate, maintain and repair the Talos fire control equipment. Operating with HTAH Division on the ship's long range air defense system, they must behigh- ly knowledgeable in both the theoretical and practical aspects of electronics, and must likewise be familiar with the mechanical components of the systems. Constant study is involved for men in such assignments - whether striking for a rate or al- ready holding the badge of a CPO drawing pro- ficiency pay. Behind the mechanical and elec- tronic skills must be a marked ability to read and interpret schematics, blueprints and wiring diagrams. NFA Division is also responsible for the fire control equipment on the ship's 5 38 gun bat- tery. All hands can rest assured that HFAN will ukeep 'em firing with an accuracy CGJV39 can be proud of. X '15 'HRK fv ,. XJ ' E If Q '1 42 f TE DIVISIGN Maintaining the two Terrier launching systems and the birds which go with them is the re- sponsibility of MTE Division, sister of MFEH in the Weapons Department. The launching system - made up of three ma- jor components: launcher, feeder system and control system - is powerful and complex. Ter- riers are stored in magazines deep within the ship, but when required- singly or in rapid succession - they can be automatically delivered to the remote-controlled launcher in condition for firing. Routine and pre-flight checks of the missiles are accomplished by HTEW personnel in the missile house with an impressive array of test equipment, such gear itself requires con- siderable maintenance. Anytime visitors come aboard, the first thing they want to see is a demonstration of the ship 's weapons capabilities, MTE men, therefore, are often called upon during in-port periods to take their stations and put their baby through its paces. Underway, this Division's watch assignments include fog watches and stations on the bridge. Constant coordination with MFE in checking out the complete loading, launching and guidance systems is routine, and this intensive training and rehearsal are evidenced in smooth perform- ance whenever their missiles are put to the test.

X X X Xxx FE DIVISION While the pre-launch and launch phases of the Terrier System are handled by MTE Division, the important mission of insuring the missile scores a hit on its target rests with another Weap- ons Department Division - MFE . The check- out, operation and maintenance of the four Ter- rier fire control radars and their associated computers are the prime responsibility of these men. Prior to Long Beach? commissioning, when the radars and computers were being installed, Fire Control Technicians began reporting aboard to put the system into operationg at this time the Division was known as NFB - a designation they retained until the cruiser was in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard Cl962j for extensive modification of the systems. There were long hours of hard work involved in the installation, testing and evaluation of the new components, until finally CCN-9 was ready to fire the BT3 QND type missile. Out at sea again after the yard period, the ship successfully fired them for evaluation. At this time 'KFEH received the first of the System Op- erability Tests, designed to check out the entire weapons system for the Terrier-tests which became their daily responsibility thereafter. When the ship returned from its initial Medi- terranean deployment 'cFE began incorporat- ing equipment changes for the new HT type missile. Time was short for these alterations, and when this was accompanied by considerable difficulties with the new equipment, it was neces- sary for the Division once again to devote exten- sive hours placing the system in a reliable operability status. At sea again, after some early problems were ironed out, the new missile was successfully fired. Undoubtedly there will be additional modifica- tions to the system in the future, improving mis- sile performance even more, and when these are accomplished, it will be MFE personnel utilizing their considerable technological training and skill to keep theiri ubirdsa' flying on target.

Marine Detachment Personnel of the Marine Detachment aboard, while probably not originally envisioning sea duty when they joined the Corps, are nevertheless justly proud of their heritage as usea-going marines? Marine Detachments afloat date back to the earliest days of American history. As early as 1740 marines were involved in combat aboard vessels in the British West Indies, where they fought with the British Royal Navy. The Coloni- al Marines, as they were known in 1775, served on American ships and participated in numerous overseas expeditions. The first written record of American marines was included in the payrolls of the American vessel Enterprise in 1775. When the Continental Marine Corps was founded on November 10 of that year, one of the prerequi- sites for a marine to be selected was that he be a good seaman or so acquainted with marine affairs as to be able to serve to advantage at sea. C GN-919 Marines conduct their own training 30 aboard, including two physical training periods daily at sea and one while in port. The training of the ship's two-platoon landing party is a ma- jor responsibility of the Detachment, who make up the nucleus of it. This force must be ready at any time to Hhit the beacha' if upon the develop- ment of an international crisis, U. S. forces are summoned to protect or evacuate U. S. citizens or even take offensive action. Other duties of the Marines include manning the 53' 38 battery, looking after the internal secu- rity of the ship and the security of its nuclear weapons when embarked, and participating in honors and ceremonies. It is indeed a tribute to the men of the Detach- ment presently embarked that they can readily engage in the friendly ribbing which has taken place between Marines and Hwhite hats over the generations of their existence, maintain their dignity and famed esprit de corps, and still ex- hibit such a high degree of cooperation and amicability with ship 's company. .

Since the time of sailing vessels, when the crew's food and water supply were the critical factors in a ship's ability to remain at sea, fuel requirements have limited the range of surface craft. Now, with the practical application of nuclear power, Long Beach and other vessels so equipped can roam the oceans almost endlessly. Once again the limiting factor has become the crew's food supply! Ancient sailing ships, as do modern ones so propelled, depended for their speed on the winds, the ability of their crews to utilize these winds, and the hull characteristics. Long Beach can comfortably steam at more than 25 knots, which would be equivalent to 600 nautical miles per 24-hour period of steady cruising. Long Beach could cruise at such a speed indefinitely. Al- though many World War II ships were construct- ed to steam at this or higher speeds - even Ger- many's mighty Bismarck at the start of that conflict could make 720 nautical miles per day - they could not maintain high speeds for more than a few days, due to demands for fuel. Cruising speed had gradually increased since the steam-powered vessels of Civil War days, but even as the transition was taking place in 1860, one ship, the famous Warrior, bridging the gap between old and new propulsion techni- ques, could make 312 nautical miles per 24 hours using her sails compared to 336 under power. Earlier in history, Wciory, Nelson's ufastn flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, was capable of only 10 knots, that compares exactly in speed to the Venetian galleys which fought at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Most of the mighty sailing ships which cruised the seas in the interim made seven to nine knots. The globe-circling cruise of the Long Beach - Enterprise - Bainbridge Task Group proves con- clusively the endurance capabilities of naval vessels utilizing nuclear propulsion, The Atomic Agen is sometimes dated to the 32 initial detonations of the atom bomb in 1945, although meaningful research pre-dates this by nearly a decade. In 1937 engineers from West- inghouse Electric Corporation built the first in- dustrial atom smasher and began probing the mysteries of this virtually unexplored field. Fission was discovered in 1939, and that same year the United States Navy took an interest in the potentials of propelling its vessels utilizing this process. Scientists foresaw that fission, suc- cessfully sustained and controlled, might provide ships with the ability to steam almost indefinitely without refueling. A great deal of wartime re- search was concentrated in areas of science which were already well-developed, and therefore might be refined for practical applications in a short space of time. Nuclear energy for propulsion, therefore, made little progress during the next few years. In 1946, the Manhattan District, developers of the atomic bomb, initiated a project known as the 4'Daniels Power Pilef' which was concerned with development and construction of a small experimental nuclear-power plant. Technical representatives of the Navy were among those invited to participate in the project. In Septem- ber, 1947, following the completion of the pre- liminary study, the Atomic Energy Commission Qwhich had superceded the Manhattan District in the interim Q, decided that further work on this type of reactor should be halted pending an ex- tensive survey of alternate types. Shortly there- after, acting on requests from Captain C now Vice Admiralj Rickover's Navy representatives, the initial study of the application of a high pres- sure, water-cooled reactor for a submarine was undertaken. Two months later the N avy Depart- ment requested the Atomic Energy Commission to initiate action for the Nearly development, de- sign, and constructionn of a suitable reactor for a submarine power-plant. Two prototype reactors were designed and constructed in the next few years - a land-based Mark I and the power-plant of submarine Naaiilas, the Mark II. The former was activated first, becoming Hradioactively critical on March 30, 19533 just two months later it was operated at full power for the first time. Mark II went to sea with Nautilus on January 17, 1955. She and subsequent nuclear undersea craft, along with the trio of nuclear-powered sur- face warships, have unquestionably proved them- selves for the Navy and to the world. Long Beach? main propulsion plant utilizes two Westinghouse nuclear pressurized water re- actors to produce steam-generating heat. The ship has a pair of identical propulsion plants, housed in separate engineering spaces, which can, and generally do, operate independently to drive their own shaft and propeller. Fission in the reactor core creates the essential heat, and the steam generated after heat exchange drives a main propulsion turbine, three turbine generator sets, and the variety of auxiliary ma- chinery aboard a modern naval vessel. Engineering Department personnel are known as Hsnipesn in the Navy, while those who have qualified in nuclear power are referred to as 4'Nucs. The training for HNucs, be they offi- cer or enlisted, is long and intensive. The first phase is a 24-week course of instructionin science and technology, usually held at the N avy7s Mare Island, California Nuclear Power School. Enlisted men 's curriculum corresponds to college work, while the officers' course is post-graduate in nature. Both programs are heavy in physics, mathematics and nuclear power plant technology. Following completion of the basic course there is a second phase - operational training at the Nuclear Power Training Unit, Idaho Falls, Ida- ho. Then, upon designation as a Qualified Nuclear Plant Operator,', the 'cNucs destined for CGJV39 join their ship. Those Engineering Department personnel not designated Nucs7' have an equally important role in keeping Long Beach steaming, of course. Proficient in their various skills in the engine room, machine, electrical, boat and shipfitters' shops, or going about their duties elsewhere aboard, these men contribute to the composite picture of a Department second to none on a conventional or nuclear-powered vessel.

Having graduated from nuclear power school NSFO fhlach oiD is behind them, but the worlc is more complex, even though cleaner. Chiefs and rated men are al- ways assisting and instructing non-rated men in the Divisz'on, teaching funda- mentals, sharing experience and helping them towards advancement. 7 X ' 4, 0 I 2 V 6322: 5 A 1 'c E I l B Division If you are fond of statistics, HB Division has come up with one: in 1963 the ship converted over 5,573,000,000 pounds of water into high pressure steam. That's probably impressive, probably not classified, and certainly notlikely to be challenged when subtly injected into cock- tail party conversation. If questioned, however, one could state that the nuclear-trained personnel Q Nucs,'j in HB Div- ision of Long Beach? Engineering Department are instrumental in determining that said steam is channeled into productive uses, i.e., driving main propulsion machinery, turning turbine generators to produce electricity, and serving auxiliary purposes such as steam heat, hot wa- ter, galley and laundry steam. On conventional-powered vessels, it's Boiler Tenders who make up HBH Division, however, on CGN-9 there are also Machinist Mates, Ma- chinery Bepairmen, Enginemen and Shipfitters in this section of the Engineering Department. All are graduates of the rigorous Nuclear Power School. Reliability of the plant is the key to Long Beach? almost unlimited cruising range - since refueling is not a critical factor, as on vessels burning fuel oil - and it is to this end that HB's', personnel labor with pride and assurance. I WW, . i ,W No-one aboard Long Beach should be rnore proud of the round-the-world cruise than the personnel of 'MU Divi- sion, who hept the rnain engines, evap- orators and all other equipment opera- ting almost constantbz - with seareebz a pause for anything but underway maintenance. These rnen also played a signzfeant role in the Departmentis fine showing in eornpetitive exercises.

Some are Electronics Technicians and others are Interior Communications Electricians - all have graduated from the difficult Nuclear Power School. Their specialized work requires aknowl- edge of reactor design and nuclear physics, as Well as a thorough understanding of electronic circuitry. An additional requirement is a famili- arity with the steam systems and piping in the reactor plant. Reactor Operators stand their watches on the Reactor Plant Control Panels, and are respon- sible for the actual control and operation ofthe reactors. Reactor Technicians have a different assignment- Watching over the myriad of in- struments and control systems which supply the operators with the signals and other data. As a relatively new concept in naval propul- sion, nuclear plants are supervised closely, and require even more record keeping than the volu- minous amount maintained in conventional nautical engineering spaces. Performance must be measured periodically to determine if CCN-919 performing plant is comparing to the calcula- tions of the physicists who designed it. This test- ing chore falls to RCM, who also maintain the specialized test gear utilized by all En- gineering Divisions. The pair of propulsion plant control stations, according to the modest appraisal ofuRC men, are literally the showplaces of the Department, thanks to a paint, tile and formica job accom- plished recently. 1 Nuclear power is essentialbz whatmahes Long Beach diferent.

The importance is not diminished in peacetime, for storms, fires, or collisions at sea hold the same perils for ships as enemy torpedoes and bombs. HR , or Repair Division, provides the key to damage control on a shipwide basis. Its men are skilled in Repair Party assignments, and knowledgeable in theoretical and practical dam- age control. During General Quarters they man Damage Control Central and make up the nu- cleus of the Repair Parties. At these stations they are not only called upon to exercise their talents as carpenters, pipefitters, Welders and sheet metal workers, but must also be prepared to battle fires, shore damaged bulkheads, combat flooding or take the initiative in monitoring and washdown following an atomic attack. During normal operations, at sea and in port, R personnel are responsible for repairs to the ship's hull, piping systems, and boats, they are continually called upon by other Divisions to utilize their welding, brazing, woodworking and metalworking skills in construction or to make repairs. All firefighting equipment is maintained by 'cR',, and their responsibility for the proper setting Qand repairj of damage control fittings is a continuing process. Sleep at night on a naval vessel far at sea is much more peaceful when ship's company knows there is a competent group aboard to quickly assess, limit and repair damage in the unlikely event of misfortune from any cause.

A Division HNOW the duty A-Gang man lay to the No. 2 liberty boat? Or to the laundry. Or to the elevator. Or to anchor Windlass room. Or just about anywhere on board there is a piece of ma- chinery Which might become inoperative. The 'cAuXiliary Division of the Engineering Department is in itself composed of four separate sub-divisions, or gangs of trouble-shooters, Whose Work, individually and collectively, is important to every other Division on Long Beach. These components of HA Division are: Ventilation Repair Gang, DieselGang,Hydraulic Repair Gang, and Machinery Repairmen. The latter group operates out of a Well-equip- ped machine shop, utilizing machine tools profi- ciently to manufacture parts for gear normally maintained by personnel in all Departments. Scarcely a day passes that these men are'not called upon as 'ffriends in needw to repair or create a spare part required to return a piece of 1 F , I I 1 n D .- gear to an Hupw status. The varied duties and responsibilities of the Diesel, Hydraulics and Ventilations gangs are described broadly in their titles. All hands would take a dim view of the Diesel expertwho couldn't get the boats operating at liberty call, and those whose vital electronic equipment was endangered because of an air conditioning failure would be concerned if they didn't have complete confidence in the Ventilation Gang. The Hydraulics Gang, of course, must maintain their gear in the highest state of readiness to insure the 'cbirdsn are mov- ing quickly to their launchers when Weapons Department Wants them. Other gear operated and maintained by this Division includes the boat and replenishing Winches, steering engines, anchor Windlass, laun- dry and galley machinery, scuttlebuts, refrigera- tion machinery, nitrogen generating equipment and cooling Water Cwhich is used in the missile, radar and communications spacesj, ship's emer- gency diesel engines and ship 's whistle. Skilled specialists all, the men of A Division are justly proud of their assignment and ability to assist all Departments aboard. Many individuals in the Division have had special schooling in Hydraulics, Rejrzgeraiion or .Machinery Repair. Whether working on one of rnany pieces of machinery assigned, above, or with sieam, water or cooling systems, below, they are always on call Vl: I fp LVH Q ,Ns 11 I ,i N 1 h P gf i 1 5? 1.9 V4 1 HQ 525: ,ii I-N1 'M F N +. it E E E f :I K I 4 , i i I I w A Q 1 I fr 'I 5 1 r 4 ,eeggss-aglxzfsrtffisftffnksx-r.:Q1rw ' w ' ' AA' ' .av 46 , M ix EK? dr -A una -, .fL. -.....,.,.. 7 , Yqdr M E Division From the masthead light atop Long Beach to the Pit Log under her hull, a wide range of gear aboard is kept in operating order by the person- nel of HE Division. An electrician on a warship does not confine his duties to changing light bulbs or, on CCN-9, even limit his activities to keeping 7,000 light fixtures in 4.0 condition. The total power gen- erating capacity of the ship would supply a city of 10,000 homes, but the electrical requirements are more far-reaching than those of a simple dwelling. A complex ventilation and air condi- tioning system is maintained largely by the elec- tricians, while their cohorts, the inter-communi- cations electricians, serve as the vessel's answer to A.T. 8: T. by keeping the auto-dial and sound-powered telephones and their numerous circuits in operation. The ship's radio station QWCGN9 Q, a popular morale feature with its news and music, is main- tained by c'E personnel. Performing this serv- ice, along with running the movie projectors Qup to five films a night might be run during the cruisej, enhances their popularity with their ship- mates - at least until the film breaks just asjohn Wayne draws for the final showdown. Cooperation with all Departments on the ship is a by-word with the men of this Division. The Deck Divisions depend upon HE to have the anchor windlass and the boats operating on schedule, Engineering counts upon them to pump vital coolant through the heart of the nuclear reactors, the missilemen and Operations person- nel depend upon reliability of the gyros to help guide the ship and the ubirdsng of course, every- one uses the communications and electric utilities maintained by HE Division. Electricians aboard have main diesel generators and their components to maintain, left, and must also operatethe switchboards, electrical features ofmach of Long Beach's auxiliary machinery, and radio station WCGJV39. Inter-com- munications electricians, comprising the other hah' of 'FU Division, maintain and run movie projectors, below, left, and the ships general announcing sys- tem. T he complex circuits of numerous telephone systems, sound-powered phones, gyros and pit log are also as- signed to the I C-men. 47 ' all, 1 1 1, 1, I ,- ,, rf ' ,- 2 1 ,t I t u. 71 .i I 'r '4 ,4 ? l l.

The thought of several consecutive months away from the United States, especially for those with sweethearts and families, is never pleasant to contemplate. On the other hand, a Med cruise invariably includes some of the most interesting naval tactics and operations, particu- larly maneuvers the ship is certain to engage in with units of our NATO allies' navies. The fas- cinating liberty ports liberally sprinkled on the schedule, with their scenic beauty and variety of opportunities for enjoyment, are a welcome Ufringe benefit. M An extended deployment does not suddenly spring upon a ship and its crew, many weeks of intensive preparation are required. All depart- ments buckle down for the strict Preparation for Overseas Movement Inspection which always precedes the deployment - to determine if the ship is indeed ready to go. Though the Supply De- partment must bear the brunt of taking aboard material requirements - foodstuffs, hardware, everything from gedunk to expensive foreign mer- chandise for the ship's stores, and a supply of cold cash to bring smiles on those popular bi- monthly paydays - each Division checked close- ly to see their spare parts weren't left on the pier when Long Beach got underway. During the days before departure, as men re- turned from leave periods and training schools, last farewells were said to the 'cshort-timers who wouldn't be sailing, and the final supplies Qincluding those emergency requisitions about which Departments Heads had been hounding the Supply Officersj were brought aboard. At last, on Monday, April 27, the final family good- byes were exchanged on the pier, the brow was hoisted aboard, the lines cast off, and Long Beach was underway - for Yorktown, Virginia. After loading ordnance there, the ship departed early the next morning. 48 The next day CCN-9 rendezvoused with USS Franklin D. Roosevell, USS Lawrence, and the nuclear-powered destroyer USS Bainbridge. On May 1 the ships conducted exercises off the Bermuda coast, and for the next week, while pro- ceeding across the Atlantic, training operations involving all Departments were undertaken. Sat- urday night, May 9, the Fast Carrier Task Unit passed through the Straits of Gibraltar, and when reveille sounded the next morning all hands look- ed upon a Htypically beautiful summer day in the I M editerrane an. The United States Naval Forces in the Mediter- ranean serve a multitude of purposes: reassuring North Atlantic Treaty Organization QNATOD allies of American determination to defend Eu- rope, promoting U. S. diplomacy and good will by its personnel's active participation in the People-to-People Program in a variety of ways, maintaining fleet readiness through training exer- cises within the Sixth Fleet itself and in conjunc- tion with NATO partners. The peace existing in the volatile Med is often attributed in a large part to the presence of U. S. Naval Forces there. One naval officer, quoted in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin in early 1964 said: 'cWe can't prove fthe presence of the Sixth Fleetj was responsible for Turkey's not invading Cyprus, but it didn't happen. Commenting on the overall effectiveness of our forces there, the same navy spokesman declared, uThere has been a lot of hollering about our subs there, and that sort of thing is good. If they 're hollering, it must be hurting. The alliances and friendships which the United States enjoy with the peoples of the Mediterranean countries have been measurably strengthened by the favorable impression made by naval person- nel ashore. The 'cpersonal diplomacy the sailors, marines and officers of U. S. ships prac- tice on their deployments earn respect of the foreign nationals and solidify the favorable American image abroad. aa.. -, . .. ........,- ..---,.: USS Forrestal and USS Lawrence, as seen hom Long Beach in Pollenscz Bay, as the new ships iliaf have ariivea' 190111 ihe United States, incIucz'ing Long Beach, relieve departing units of ihe Sixth Fleet. Mediterranean deployment In a normal year of operations in the Mediter- ranean, Sixth Fleet vessels host as many as 1,500 shipboard parties for underprivileged child- ren - a role in which Long Beach personnel played their part during the portion of the cruise spent in these waters in 1964. Sports contests between the ship teams and local groups are another popular feature of visits to Southern European ports. Exchange of offi- cial calls and entertainment are a fixed part of visits to these cities, and the ship 's chaplains do a remarkable job in promoting genuine feelings of good will with their participation in charitable endeavors and religious services ashore. The Sixth Fleet includes approximately fifty ships, including two or three aircraft carriers, and 30,000 men including 2,000 combat-ready marines. It is a completely mobile force, op- erating from one end of the Mediterranean to the other, refueling and replenishing while underway, and having its headquarters, believe it or not, in London, England. There, in a red brick, three-story building in Grosvenor Square, 900 officers and men plus a complement of civilian personnel coordinate Sixth 50 Fleet operations with Commander Sixth Fleet on board his flagship in the Med. The flexibility afforded these ships by not being tied to a fixed base is one of the major strengths of the Sixth Fleet. This mobility - the ability to roam anywhere in this giant body of water where diplomacy needs bolstering, or trouble threatens -is an incomparable asset respected by allies and potential enemies alike. Following exercises off the Balearic Islands on the 11th, Long Beach steamed into Pollensa Bay the next day to officially relieve USS Albany and become a part of the Sixth Fleet. The Hturn- overw operation resulted in a considerable num- ber of documents and officialpapers being passed from the Commanding Officer and Executive Offi- cer of the vessel being relieved to their counter- parts on her replacement. Such material, involv- ing Sixth Fleet operations, procedures and regu- lations, was supplemented by personal observa- tions on Mediterranean Fleet duty passed on at all levels. The conferences and ceremonies were expedited, and that very afternoon Sixth Fleet's newest cruiser headed out to sea with Bainbridge. Early the next morning, Wednesday, May 13, 1964, naval history was made as Long Beach and Bainbridge joined with USS Enterprise to form the first nuclear-powered Task Group, dub- bed TG 60.1. From his flagship Enterprise Rear Admiral Bernard M. Strean, Task Force 60's Commander, sent the welcoming message: WELCOME TO TF 60 AND THE ONLY NUCLEAR -POWERED TASK GROUP IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MOMENT WHEN WE CAN BEGIN DEMONSTRATING TO THE WORLD THE STRATEGIC MOBILITY AND UNLIMITED ENDURANCE OF THESE TWENTIETH-CENTURY SHIPS. I ANTI- CIPATE SEVERAL MONTHS OF INTEREST- ING AND REWARDING OPERATIONS TO- GETHERY' Reflecting the view of all personnel aboard, Captain Frank H. Price, Commanding Officer of CGN-9, immediately shot back: LONG BEACH JOINS THIS AUSPICIOUS GROUP WITH SAME SENSE OF ANTICI- PATION, READY TO SHOW THE WORLD SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR CAPABILITIES. AM CONFIDENT THAT OPERATIONS AHEAD WILL PROVE STRATEGIC VALUE OF NUCLEAR GROUP. WE ARE HAPPY TO BE A PART OF YOUR TEAM.,' A CTF-60 press release disseminated later in the day observed 'gThe tremendous offensive striking power of the aircraft carrier, the offen- sive and defensive capabilities of the cruiser and frigate, coupled with the virtually unlimited cruis- ing range provided by nuclear power give this force a degree of performance which is unique in naval history. Sixth Fleet units traditionally do not resort to steaming about the Mediterranean admiring each other - they get down to the serious business of training immediately. So it was with Task Force Sixty, as that very afternoon the vessels joined up with warships from NATO ally France for Exercise Fairgame 11.', The initial phase of this operation was completed two days later, and the ships anchored off Les Salins. There a cri- tique was held May 16, with Commander, Sixth Fleet, Alfer-Admiral Flotille Escorteurs Rapides QFast Escorts Flotillaj, and ship commanders attending. The worldis jirst nuclear Tash Group was formed when Long Beach and Bainbridge joined the nuclear carrier Enterprise on May 13, 1964 to form Tash Group 60.1.

Actually, no one had to go all the way to Paris to sample French night clubs - several fine ones are in the Nice area, ranging from the expensive and famous Maxim's to the Folies Club and Casino de la Mediterranee.

Among the more popular in the Cannes-Nice area with cruiser personnel on this trip were Marjolaine, Cafe de Paris, Drap d,Or, Foie Gras, Chex Memers and Da Bouttau. The nameless sidewalk cafes with their local color also picked up their share of hungry sailors nightly. Many took advantage land vice versaQ of the gambling casinos on the Riviera, some checked into the lush hotels overlooking the Water, others visited the bars along the way Q Normandy was a favorite, and many flocked to the famous beaches Qbecause Navymen feel at home near the Waterj. Cannes' original name came from the cane, or high marsh reeds growing along the shore, but this has all been replaced with bikini- clad sun bathers, and the improvement is un- debatable. For those seeking a taste of French culture, there were a number of attractions of an historic and artistic nature. Camera bugs and casual sightseers fanned out around Cannes to View such spots as the Grimaldi Art Museum and Antibes, the Musee Lycklama, the Museum of Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations and the his- toric Iles de Lerins. The unbelievably large fleet of almost every type of pleasure boat in the World - from gigantic yachts and racing sloops to tiny speedboats and catamarans - fascinated all who strolled along the Waterfront.

This time it was Genoa, not far from the Italian Riviera. Proud of her heritage and cultural background, this old Italian city on the Gulf of Genoa offered such attractions as the Academy of Fine Arts, the Verdi Institute of Music and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, where a chalice reputed to be the Holy Grail could be seen. Local pride at the fact Genoa is the birthplace of Columbus is readily acknowledged, and the statuary of the city under- scores the point. The port of Genoa is one ofthe oldest trading cities in the Mediterranean, with an economy based on commerce from long before Roman times. Below, is Garibaldi Square named for the Italian patriot who united Itabz. Thefamous electric ladders proved a popu- lar way of seeing not only part of the city, but also the breathtaking beauty of the countrysideg many of ship's company availed themselves of this opportunity for a c'bird's-eye view, before setting out on foot or wheeled vehicle to take in the individual sights such as Via Garbaldi. If daytime tourism required its share of liberty hours, the night-life of the city was not to be out- done. Among the more popular spots frequented were Ippacampo, Lido Dalbaro, Girarrosto and La Cambruas di Gapurro. One liberty partywas prevented from returning to the ship on June 1, when a storm made boating hazardous, so at least some of the crew would have a special rea- son to remember Genoa. vm it 1... . .- 2 .....-.... .,....,,.. .YY-, .J 'Y' ' 4 5 Q Q .rg X' 4 . i half ,+- YT!

The capital of Sicily, Palermo, was a frequent- ly-bombed target after the Allies landed in North Africa in the Second World War, but is beautiful today, framed in its background of statuesque mountains. As With many Mediterranean cities, Wars through the centuries are very much a part of her history. Originally founded by the Phoeni- cians, it later was fought over many times be- cause of its value as a commercial port. The Palermo is Sicibfs principal city. The cityis streets and buildings bear witness to a history that goes back to earbz Christian times. Sicibf is a mixing of the very old and the new. Both the is- land and the capitol gain and Suf-kf hom the combination. When the Ro- mans captured the island they set up a system oflarge landed estates thathave survived to this day as one of the is- land Bi major economic handicaps. Q Carthiginians, Romans and Normans all occu- pied it in turn in its early years, and throughout the turbulent history of the Med it was always controlled by one nation and coveted by others. Once the Long Beach liberty parties passed the seamy waterfront areas they found beautiful scenery, rich history, fine food and many worth- while cultural endeavors. Greek, Arab and Nor- man influences, in addition to Italian, were all visible in the church architecture, so the camera- toting tourists from the ship were offered wide opportunities to practice their skill. CCN-9's visit didn't coincide with the peak con- cert and theater season, but some personnel braved the movies with Italian sound-tracts, while others enjoyed some fine musical entertain- ment. Payday came in time to enable some men to make purchases of cameos, jewelry and lace, while everyone took advantage of the fine native dishes at sidewalk cafes or the variety of restau- rants scattered throughout the city or on the roads leading into the country. 65 55.3 The day the ship got underway from Palermo, June 18, was significant as the long-considered rumor of an around-the-world cruise for TG 60.1 was confirmed. August would be a month to which everyone could eagerly look forward! june 19 -24 was spent in the city of Taranto, a seaport of over 200,000 population situated on the highest part of the inside of the heel of the Italian ubootf, A tour was offered to the fa- mous caves outside the city, but all hands had become just a little Uspoiledn by the wide variety offered in previous ports. Athletic fields provided men an opportunity to get some good exercise with some ball playing, and, as usual, some crewmen pitched in on the '4People-to-People Program. Throughout the cruise the men of Long Beach willingly devoted their time and efforts to work- ing on projects for local charities in the countries visited, or helping to throw parties for orphans or underprivileged children. There was rest and relaxation available in Taranto, of course. Nice beaches were within range, and some took advantage of these while others rented bicycles and toured the countryside. The Jolly Hotel proved a popular spot, and sev- eral clubs, bars and restaurants drew crowds from CGN-9, including the Grande Birreria, San Giusto, Al Gambero and Ostricaro. The following week was spent operating in the Ionian Sea, where varied exercises and maneu- vers were performed to sharpen the skills of Nuclear Task Group personnel and to provide the Midshipmen aboard the vessels a first-hand view of complex Naval operations. There were twenty-nine first classmen Qseniorsj aboard Long Beach, including eighteen from the Naval Acad- emy. Operating with the Operations, Weapons and Engineering Departments, they impressed everyone with their conscientious attitude before being detached in late july. The final day of June saw the Task Group steaming west toward Spain. A night replenish- ment was accomplished july 1, and two days later the ships arrived in Barcelona. Admiral Rickover, the father of the United States' nuclear warship program, and one who personally inter- viewed many of the Nucs aboard when they were undergoing training, visited the Task Group on Independence Day. Continuing in what was becoming almost primarily a succession of stops in Southern Europe's finest cities, with scarcely time for the hectic schedule of nautical exercises which usually characterize Med cruises, Long Beach departed Spain July 8 and pulled into the beautiful bay at Palma, Mallorca two days later. Many felt this was the outstanding liberty port visited in the Mediterranean because of the pre- ponderance of activities available, the perfect climate, the attractive beaches and scenery. Barcelona is Spainis most prosperous cigz. Its recorded history begins about 230 B. C. when the father ofthe Cartha- ginian General Hannibal founded the cigz. After Hannibal was dekated by the Romans, his countrymen were expel- led from all of Spain and Rome took over Barcelona. The old section ofthe cigz is zypicalbz old Europe while the modern section has wide handsome boulecards lined with more modern buildings. Upper left, Catalogne Park in the center of the cigz.

It was tourist season in Palma, and French, German, Italian and the Scandinavi- an languages as well as native Spanish could all be heard in the night clubs and the cafes. Mallorca is the largest island in the Balearic group, and Palma is its most populous city Qap- proximately 150,000j. History buffs among the crew learned its heritage dates back to 123 B.C.g many took formal tours or private taxi rides to see the 13th Century Cathedral, the old convent of San Francisco and the Palace of Rey don Sancho. Also attracting their share of tourists were the Bellver Castle, the Carthusian Monas- tery at nearby Valldemosa and the Hcellsn once occupied by Polish composer Frederic Chopin and his mistress George Sand. Bull fight fans who had missed this spectacle in Barcelona had their chance here, while those en- joying musical programs were able to witness some of the famed native folk singing and folk- dancing. The night clubs and certain eating places were inclined to be somewhat expensive, although those not questing imported champagne or Scotch could do fairly well with local wine, San Miguel beer and even Fundador brandy - a Stateside delicacy. The El Rodeo, El Naciones, Africa Bar and the Saddle Bar proved to be the most popular spots for an evening beverage, while among the night clubs El Pireta, Trocadero and Le Cubana drew ample crowds of American N avymen. Nearly all the hotel dining rooms offered fine meals, although officers and crewmen from CCN-9 seemed to have a preference for Club N autico, Cantabrico and the El Tirol bar. Overleaf, Long Beach slices through the sea on nuclear power. 91 .-4 Qi EF ...Q 'A 54 4 QB at N . ' ,IM ' ' ' ,v :ww ..g.-x The ship left Palma july 15 and moved in an easterly direction againg after three days of inten- sive operations in the Tyrrehenian Sea, she pull- ed into Naples. It was just a long weekend stay- over, and while some personnel were able to take advantage of overnight tours to Rome, most found plenty to do locally. There was last-minute European shopping for those who had been put- ting it off since arrival in the Med last spring, some adequate night life, and colorful tours. Once away from Fleet Landing, there were a number of good restaurants to be found, along with some night clubs of varying degrees of re- finement. CCN-9 crewmen were seen dining in Da Umberto, Il Grottino and a number of lesser- known places featuring tasty Italian specialties, afterwards, the spaghetti, cannelloni, et al were washed down at local clubs, including a quaint little place known affectionately as The Snake Pit. The most popular tours were to the ruins of Pompeii and the famed Isle of Capri. The latter, a resort crowded with Italian and foreign tourists alike during the warmer months of the year, possessed a liberal variety of attractions including flower-laden villas, the Blue Grotto, and fabulous beaches. Pompeii, on the other hand, draws sightseers who stand fascinated as the guides relate how Mt. Vesuvius spewed forth a sea of molten lava to bury the ancient commun- ity in 79 A.D. Much of the city was preserved in its lava blanket to stand today as an authentic museum of the past. The Navy's camera fans dutifully recorded the sights to show friends and families after the completion of the deployment. Naples itself proved quite an attraction for those not seeking tours outside the city. The his- torical background reflected in the architecture and culture of Italy's third largest city was truly inspiring. The University of Naples Q1224 A.D.j, Virgil's tomb, and a cathedral originally constructed nearly seven centuries ago were only some of the highlights. Side-trips from Naples brought Long Beach men to Rome. At lefu, theFlavian Amphitheatre, which could seat 8Z 000, was one of the many sites visited Above, is Rome 's Trevi Fountain. Long Beach's men carried on the tradition of tossing coins into the famous Fountain. The gesture is supposed to insure one 's return to Rome.

The ship departed Naples on Monday, july 27, and was officially relieved by USS Boston two days later. She replenished at sea for the world cruise the following day, and concluded the week Qand the monthj by passing through the Straits of Gibraltar. Along with Enterprise and Bainbridge, she now made up Task Force One embarked on Operation Sea Orbit. If the past weeks had featured more than their share of liberty ports and time ashore, the rest of the cruise would probably make up for it. Con- tinuing around the world, Long Beach would pass by many cities, stop in at only a few, and utilize the extensive sea time for training and the sharpening up of administrative procedures. Friday afternoon, July 31 an Hunderway visit was made to Morocco, whilelllnterprise put on an impressive Air Power Demonstration for the African uhostsf' Sailing on, similar 'cvisitsn were paid to Dakar QSenegalj on August 3, Freetown QSierra Leonej and Monrovia Q Li- beriab August 4, and Abdijan August 5. Govern- ment officials and other dignitaries from these cities were flown to Enterprise, where they ob- served Fire Power Demonstrations put on by the Task Force. In between there were classes, rou- tine exercises and early morning General Quar- ters for ship's company. In addition, an hour of every working day aboard the nuclear-powered cruiser was set aside for 'fschool call, enabling men to receive instruction from officers and petty officers on subjects concerning their rate, or the jobs in which they are interested. 76 At right, Long Beach's crew turns to handling supplies during her last re- plenishment in the Mediterranean on jubz 22 1964.

A pair of Divisions function as the eyes and voice of the ship, together making up the small but select Communications Department. The Radio and Visual Signaling Divisions QHORH and HOSHD maintain liaison with other naval units, at sea and ashore, and Without their de- pendability there could not be the close coordi- nation necessary for the smooth operation of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean or a Nuclear Task Group steaming around the World.

Messages received from other nerve centers of CCN 9 are converted into electronic pulses by the men in Radio, and relayed as appropriate. On the Signal Bridge the personnel of OS send and receive communications by flag hoist, flash- ing light semaphore or Nancy Hanksn - vital fields of naval message exchange Which, during periods of radio silence, would be the 01151 means Each Division masters its own particular skills, each must drill continually to maintain the profi- ciency required, and each is the first to known many news items about the ship's maneuvers, liberty ports and dates for cruise milestones.

No group aboard boasts a prouder heritage, for the various meth- ods of communications employed by signalmen on Long Beach today all have their roots deeply entrenched in naval history. The flat hoist was reportedly born in action in the Mediterranean in 49 A.D. when Brutus, com- manding Caesar's fleet against the Marseillians, narrowly escaped having his flagship rammed by two sister ships. In their enthusiasm to ram every enemy ship, they almost attacked the flag- ship, recognizing it only at the last minute - by the flag hoist. Actually, the very beginnings of nautical sig- naling were recognized even earlier in history - also in the Mediterranean. The recorded year F for it permits information to be passed was 480 B.C. when a red cloak raised on the tip of an oar turned apparent defeat into victory for a Greek naval squadron engaged in battle against the powerful Persian ships. Flashing light communications is closely iden- tified with William, Duke of Normandy. On board Mora at St. Velery in 1066, he decided against arriving at the English Channel coast before daybreak, preferring instead to have his vessels anchor around him. His signal to com- mence the invasion of England - a lighted lan- tern at the flagship's mast, followed by the sound- ing of a trumpet. Techniques of naval communications have re- fined somewhat over the intervening centuries, and their present complexity demands a great deal of talent and training on the part of the sig- nalmen of CCN-9. Around-the-clock watches are the order of the day in port and at sea, there are circuits to be monitored, visual stations to be manned, messages to be received and priority dispatches to be sent out. Traffic is heavy dur- ing a Med deployment, particularly on the signal bridge of the flagship where sixty or seventy mes- sages may be handled during the course of a day. In addition to visual communications responsi- bilities normally associated with them, qualified personnel in the 4'Signal Gang are skilled in many other areas. Cognizant of the procedures for teletype, CW radio, voice radio and facsimile, the men of VOS are likewise knowledgeable of navigation concepts and rules of the nautical ro ad. They are also particularly proud of their reputation as the 'fones who know the intrica- cies of naval honors and ceremonies. Visual signaling is the oldest method of communicating between ships. It is still widebz used in the nuclear fleet of today, to ships in company with speed and silence. A variegz of visual methods are used from flashing light above left, to flag hoist signals left, and sema- phore, right. j Qi'1:f'fZ1Tpi4QZ41?-'T '- f a,............w Af H ' OR Division The modern, efficient equipment operated and maintained by MOR Division, Radio Central and auxiliary stations, is far-removed from that on which Guglielmo Marconi lodged his first British patent application in 1896. At that time the famous inventor conducted successful experi- ments in communicating over a distance of 13f4 miles. On December 6 of the following year, signals were transmitted from shore to a ship at sea 18 miles distant - the beginnings of nautical radio. Long Beach, whether operating in the Sixth Fleet, on special maneuvers with the Nuclear Task Group, with NATO allies, or steaming in a replenishment formation, must rely heavily onits radio communications both to keep informed and to operate smoothly with other vessels. Manning or quickly patching all necessary circuits be- comes an even more critical task for NOR per- sonnel when the cruiser is guide ship or a Flag Commander is embarked. It is estimated that, be- tween passing Gibraltar enroute to join the Sixth Fleet and departing the Med some three months later, 12,000 to 14,000 messages would pass through Radio Central. There are a number of other functions and services performed by this Division, through its competent radiomen and electronics technicians. Ship-to-shore radio-telephone facilities are made available to ship's company in emergency situa- tions, and telegrams can always be sent. One of the greatest morale factors at sea is the ship's newspaper, Radiogmm, prepared by MOR from news broadcasts they pick up. Pub- lished daily at sea, this news medium provides the only real means of keeping up-to-date on what,s going on in the world- international, domestic and sports news. 82 CCN-9 communicators deserve well- earned title of 'Zan do gang by their performance with Sixth Fleet and on round-the-world cruise.

All Departments contribute to this metro- politan character, furnishing medical and dental facilitiesg heat, light and powerg telephonesg ra- diog stores and personal servicesg educational opportunitiesg dining facilitiesg etc. The Supply Department, of course, is respon- sible for a significant share of the Hbig city components, particularly those services which tend to be fringe benefits setting apart life on a major combatant from that on a smaller vessel. , .!. Mt a ff me J , , 4 'W ix! The stores, tailor and cobbler shops, Soda fountain, laundry and barber shops are features of this Department which are appreciated by all hands. The cooks, bakers and stewards who contribute so much to morale by insuring plemi- ful supplies of tasty food are served daily, are perhaps sometimes taken for granted because meals are such a routine part of daily living. Similarly, those Divisions in Supply which issue the pay and are responsible for the hardware items being aboard - from ammunition and ma- chinery to electronic spare parts and bright work polish - quietly contribute to the overall picture of a mighty warship and a second home. VW Ewan-wif: y 4975 it S ' V S uppbf Department jhinctions touch each man on the ship many times daibz, as its Divisions perform a wide variegz of services which mahe Long Beach trubz a second home for her offcers andcrew.

All items necessary to support the cruiser's operations at sea on a sustained cruise must be on board, and in sufficient quantity. If ua place for everything, and everythingin its place sounds trite, it is nonetheless true. By their detailed knowledge of Long Beachis inven- tory system, the men of S-ln know at all times exactly where all spare hardware Qincluding the unbelievable multiplicity of spare partsj is lo- cated, how much of it is aboard, and what the ship 's allowance is. The alight reading of Navy Supply person- nel is devoted to such titles as: Bureau ofShzps Material Directory and Requisitioning Guide, Federal Suppbi System Catalogs, and Bureau of Supplies and Accounts Manual. Buried deeply in these mazes of minute and confusing type are the answers to the questions of where and when various spare parts or pieces of gear may be ob- tained, and their cost. And pity the non-Supply type, be he Officer, CPO or sailor, who thinks he can find the answer better than the S-li' man, 86 he'll probably lose his patience and eyesight, if not his mind in Supply Department publications. The detailed record-keeping dealing with pro- curing, receiving, storing, maintaining, issuing and accounting for material are routine respon- sibilities for 'GS-l , while their added chores in- clude the knowledge and implementation of sur- vey, redistribution and disposal procedures. This Division must also establish and maintain high and low limits of consumable supplies and repair parts. Deeply enmeshed in the perhaps unglamorous paperwork necessary to keep all other divisions materially up to par, 'CS-17' proudly displays the can do spirit and dedication so necessary behind the scenes to keep a fighting ship ready to answer any call or emergency. . 4 ie' 5-:,nfirx1Hsuet'45k-wZmf1i-cr QQ: 1 L ,. .,, ,,A, ,, ,, ,L , - an-MH -1 Mn W--,,,, Fu:-vnu S-2 Division It's the Army that's supposed to travel on its stomach, but the N avy's long-standing tradition for serving the best food in the military is recog- nized and deeply appreciated by all personnel aboard Long Beach. The Commissary Division QMS-2 j recognizes the important morale factor of serving good chow and takes great pride in their skill and creativity in the galley - an un- beatable combination. Restaurants ashore have an unlimited choice of foodstuffs and condiments, and if they Want one more, a quick phone call brings a delivery truck with the needed item in time for the next meal. On an extended cruise supplies are taken aboard only during the infrequent major replen- ishments, except for the limited items which can be purchased ashore in certain ports. The ship ,s 88 lookouts don't spot any more grocery Whole- salers on the high seas than they do mail buoys. 'Z s lls I XS- -- CCN-9 is capable of carrying over 300 tons of food valued at more than S100,000g chipping away at this inventory during three meals daily are over 900 hungry men. Up to 250 gallons of milk, and 1,000 pounds of meat may be con- sumed during an average working day aboard, and of course, coffee, life-blood of the navyman, is always brewing. Almost a ton of coffee a month is consumed at sea. The burden of serving plentiful quantities of tasty, nutritious food falls upon the broad shoul- ders of the cooks and bakers, who begin their day at 4:00 a.m. so that their shipmates will be provided a hot breakfast upon awakening. Bread, pastries and ice cream are of the unbeat- able homemade variety when at sea, but it is really the technique of preparing tempting and varied menus from only 200 basic items which earns the commissarymen their loudest praise.

One spot aboard Long Beach which is always bustling with activity is the laundry, below, where one-habf of the complement of S-3 Division perform their duties. Although most ofshzpls company are convinced the sleeve-shred der and button crusher are the most important pieces ofgear here, they are classzyied and cannot be shown. Long hours at sea and in port comprise the schedule of CCN-9 laundrymen, and the way they turn out the clean, press- ed uniforms for libergz call is universal- by appreciated S - 3 D 1v1s1on The vital area of personal services in the self- sustaining ubig city that is Long Beach is centered around HS-3,7 Division. 'cSmall Stores carries all gear necessary for a sailor's seabag, and the regular Shipls Store has clothing items for officers and CPO 's. In ad- dition, this latter retail establishment maintains an inventory of gift items for women and chil- dren, and While on deployment, a vast selection of foreign merchandise at attractive prices. On the current cruise another retail outlet - a tobac- co shop - was constructed, and immediately proved a popular and convenient spot for pur- chasing a variety of smaller items. Out of sales and into the service area, this 4 S- Division maintains a wide variety of facilities, all manned by personnel skilled in their specialty. There is a Cobbler shop, a tailor shop, two bar- ber shops, and a laundry. The latter, manned by over one-half of the Division's twenty-six men, is faced with the staggering task of provid- ing clean clothes for all personnel. In warmer climates, and particularly when in-port periods demand whites be worn, the laundrymen get little respite. As an example, an average of 1,500 shirts and 1,100 pairs of trousers are washed and pressed weekly just for officers and chief petty officers alone. The additional items - linens, sick bay gear, uniforms for boat crews and sideboys, etc. - merely add to the burden. The shipls soda fountain, of course, is always popular, no matter how excellent Commissary is, men will always leave the chow line on any ship to make a stop at the ugedunk stand. The average accountability of the bulk room operator, who is responsible for all the Divi- sionls goods from the time they are taken aboard until delivered to one of the stores, is 360,000 a month. This figure is considerably increased on a major deployment. Some average inventory items when Long Beach departed Norfolk in April: 26,000 cans of soft drinks, thousands of razor blades, and enough cigarettes for each man aboard to have forty-seven cartons. If anyone in ship's company requires personal services, or wants to make a purchase on board, the man to see will be a member of 'GS-3. Skilled harhers keep everyone sharp for inspections' there are two shopsaboard one for officers and one for enlisted.

Handing it out in the biweekly pay lines is the easy part, however, for behind every payday is the taxing and time-consuming job of maintaining each manis pay records. This includes computation of such items as dislocation allowance, optional government bond purchase plans, and travel pay for ship's company and their dependents. This Division's personnel also arrange and ac- count for any pay deductions requested which will enable a Navy office to pay insurance pre- miums or send dependents a government check regularly - no matter where Long Beach may be carrying the family breadwinner. Average monthly disbursements aboard CCN-9 equal 3205,000. The fact that each N avyman takes a close personal interest in his pay means that, in addi- tion to the complicated record-keeping tasks which the men of S-4', perform, they are called upon daily to answer questions about everything from foreign exchange rates to: HHow come I only got 326 last payday P Other services to the ship which are the respon- sibility of this Division include the payment of dealers' bills for services and supplies which must be purchased from civilian sources at home and abroad, and the conversion of greenbacks into lira, pesos, pesetas, or whatever the medium of exchange happens to be inagiven liberty port. The functions of Disbursing Division are extremebz popular with all hands, but the rare personal contacts fpay- clays ana' exchange for foreign cur- rencyj 'iS'-4 men have with thez'r ship- mates represents a small percentage of work-time.

S - 5 D 1v1s1on c'Did you ever try to work for a poorly fed boss PM Rather than being a question, that is an answer to a question about whether or not the Stewards' job to prepare and serve good chow in the ward- room is important. The personnel of US-5 Division recognize their responsibility to maintain their joviality as well as their efficiency, whether cooking and pre- paring the officers, meals, or on duty in the wardroom proper. The day's work forthe uduty stewards is long, with scarcely any time to call their own, but their spirit of cooperation and per- sonable manner is always noticeable aboard Lortg Beach. Outside the wardroom, their duties include the maintenance of the officers, staterooms and the responsibility for associated materials such as linen and furnishings. If any ship 's wardroom and staterooms arenit tidy, and if its officers' food is either ill-prepared or carelessly served, said officers smile less and sign fewer special request chits. A continuing debt of gratitude, therefore, is owed to cordial crew of HS-5 by all hands for their positive con- tribution to officers' morale aboard CCN-9. Coming in to the Wardroom after a busy day or a strenuous watch, the szght of an attractive olive tray, above, ana' a wel!-set table provzde an incalcu- lable morale boost for CCN-9 Ojjfcers. 95 31:-K-Y , -V W inn i -HW 1-- H .-.- The Navigation Department may no! he the biggest aboard Long Beach, but who else would anyone he willing 50 follow on a round-the-world cruise? Utilizing modern electronic means right along with the age-old navlgaflonal stars, the Navigator and his sf2eCiCll0f' trained staff heelo CCN-9 steaming in the right dz'rection. One imjiortaflf group within 'UW' are the aerografih- ers, right, who launch weather halloom' to record wi'nd data. Navigation Maneuvers go on day and night and the Navigation Department, utilizing visual, elec- tronic, and astronomical means, must he con- stantly aware of Long Beachis position and movement, insuring that the Commanding Offi- cer, Officer-of-the-Deck and Flag Qwhen embark- edj are advised. The vessel's position, while reported to the Captain at 0800, 1200 and 2000 daily at sea, must be known accurately in interim periods, especially when CCN-9 is operating in coastal waters or with fleet units dependent upon real or imagined reference points. Since man first set out upon the waters of the world, he has endeavored to find better ways to guide him safely to his destination. Originally he navigated simply hy remaining within sight of shore, those sea captains who later ventured out of sight of land took awesome risks of be- coming lost, andfor frightening their crews to mutiny. Crude cartography developed as nauti- 96 cal adventurers mapped the shores, recording mountains, coastline irregularities and even trees as reference points. Although various Mediterranean civilizations such as the Phoenicians sailed that body of water with a certain sophistication many centuries be- fore Christ, it is only within the last half-dozen or so centuries that navigation has become anything of an art. Current navigational instruments were developed slowly through this period, with the mariner's compass being the most important. The early history of this device is obscure, and legendary writings attribute its origin variously to the Chinese, Arabs, Greeks, Etruscans, Finns, Swedes and Italians. It is known, however, that one was brought to Europe from China by Marco Polo in 1260. The crude compass used over many centuries thereafter was merely a dish of liquid witha mag- netized iron needle floating in it. These needles were magnetized periodically with lodestones from the district of Magnesia on the Aegean coast, accounting for the origin of the word. William Barlowe, of England, invented a com- pass box and hanging compass in 1608 and Peter Barlow made improvements for the British Navy about 1820, history tells us. From these crude devices the accurate Compasses and gyro- compasses of present times were developed. Speed, and from that, distance, was gauged in ancient times by mariners who threw chunks of Wood overboard and watched how quickly the ship passed by them. Today's navigator receives this data scientifically from a carefully calculated pit-log - a device extending below the ship 's hull to measure water pressure and thereby determine speed. Although the earliest navigators ufollowed the stars, it was not until the late eighteenth century that the coupled invention of the sextant by Had- ley and the first chronometer by a little-known Yorkshire carpenter, john Harrison, allowed the mariner to determine his location accurately from the heavenly bodies. Today precision sextants and highly accurate chronometers allow the navigator to pin-point the ship 's position during clear weather. The development of radio direction finders, radar and loran have materially aided the navi gator in determining his position in all types of weather The United States will soon have an operational satellite navigation system enabling navigators to obtain a fix to within a fraction of a mile night or day in all kinds of weather and in all parts of the world A day s work for the Navigation Department starts long before the sun has risen The Navi gator and his assistants must prepare to fix CGNQS position by shooting morning stars After the initial sights have been taken about 30 40 minutes prior to sunrise the results are computed from books and tables and a pin point fix is obtained From this fix the Navigating uartermaster continually plots the ship s posi tion by laying out the track of its movements The Quartermaster of the Watch records the ship s every course and speed change in the MOW s log thereby maintaining a complete chronological record of Long Beach 5 yourneys Basic responsibilities of this Department are the proper maintenance of such records as the Navigator s Work Book Bearing Book Loran Log Fathometer Log and Magnetic Compass Record In all there are over 2 000 charts and 150 publications under their cognizance The ship s chronometers are wound and compared daily by N personnel these men also assist in training Boat Officers and Officers of the Deck In port they figure tide and current information take bearings to insure the anchor isn tdraggmg and stand watches with the OOD on the Quarter deck In addition to the uartermasters there IS another important group within this Department the Aerographers Their yob IS to gather data about wind and weather while the ship is under way or at anchor - information often necessary in planning Task Group operations at sea or scheduling boat runs in port ustly proud of their responsibilities N aviga tion Department men always know where they are where they have been where they are going an even what the weather is going to be when t ey arrive 97 ' n 7 7 7 , 7 . .

Their work togethen as well as with other Departments and teams aboard resulted in the high degree of efficiency which characterized the nu- clear-powered cruiser on the round-the- world cruise. OE - the technicians Oper ations The Operations Departments perform functions which often go unnoticed by those in other De- partments not directly involved, their efforts, however, are recognized and greatly appreciated. The two divisions of this Department have the task of coordinating functions of all others in pro- motion of the efficient accomplishment of CCN-919 overall mission. Such technical cooperation is primarily with the Gunnery and Navigation De- partments, as well as with those personnel on the bridge, and includes a wide range of operations including search and rescue, air defense and tac- tical maneuvering. Key equipment of this Department, manned by HOF, and maintained by OE , is radar. Al- though its military use is relatively modern, its history dates to earlier times than generally imagined. The earliest radar, pulse radar, is based on two principles - the echo principle and the meth- od of using the travel time of pulses to determine the range of the target. In 1887 scientist Hein- rich Hertz discovered that radio waves were re- flected from solid obstacles, and in 1904 a Ger- man engineer named Hulsmeyer was granted patents in several nations on a radio-echo device designed to prevent collisions. In 1922, in an address to the Institute of Radio Engineers in New York City, Guglielmo Marconi outlined practical radar when he observed that he had noted 'fthe effects of reflection and deflection of Celectricj waves by metallic objects miles away, and then described its possibilities for determin- - +w-mi fmm-ff'1 Tt'M':'1:Z' fu know how to maintain and repair the complicated electronic gear assigned while their compatriots in OI evalu- ate the information from these and other sources so that it becomes useful tactical data. At left, an ET achusts a resistor to keep one electronic system operating ejjicientbz. ing the range and bearing of distant ships. Although it seemed that radar might have been just around the corner as apractical development at that time, even with foremost British, German, French and United States scientists delving into its mysteries, workable devices were more than a quarter century away. All four came up with crude radars between 1935 and 1940, and during that period military interest, and often money, was significant in advancing the research of each nation in this field. The first full success of United States Navy radar dates to early 1939, when a set designed and built at the Naval Research Laboratory was tested at sea aboard USS New York. The great importance of radar in World War II, and com- plete scientific cooperation on its development with the British, led to rapid improvements in the following few years, with refinements, particularly in fire control radar, continuing to the present. A high degree of technical competence is re- quired of all personnel in the Department, both in maintaining their complicated equipment in an up status and in the performance of their ex- acting duties. A mistake made by Operations will not pass unnoticed, for by the very nature of its role in the shipls performance, the Com- manding Officer fand Flag, when embarkedj cannot help but note any discrepancies as well as successes. Operations Department personnel take pride in their role as uunsung heroes, pledged to an overall proficiency of ship 's operations. 101 -U----- 'n ' ' '- - may anal 59 ll Radar revolutionized naval zuarjnre since its introduction into the Fleet in the days just before World War IL The men of 01 Division operate and main- tain some ofthe most modern and so- phisticated radar equzpment in the world Long Beach is one ofthe kw ships in the Fleet with the ultra-modern Naval Tactical Data System installed in her Combat Information Center. OI Division If you look in a Navy text book it will tell you that CIC QCombat Information Centerj is for collection, display, evaluation and dissemination of tactical information. The personnel who man this vital Hnerve centern of the ship's operations are the Radarmen of MOI Division. Huddled over their dim radar scopes, alert to pick up the first appearance of a new marking Qpipj, or busily plotting several approaching air or surface contacts, they serve as the eyes of CCN-9. Radar information, augmented by data from lookout reports, radio communications, electronic countermeasures equipment and intelli- gence reports, is plotted on massive display boards, the result is a graphic picture of target range, bearing, height and identification data, awaiting evaluation by other officers and men in CIC. Some information is reported to the bridge immediately upon discovery, while certain detail- ed data and evaluations are disseminated to Flag Plot, the bridge and Weapons Control as the situation merits. Important contact and tactical information is also sent to other vessels in the Task Croup, as appropriate. The vital mission of every man in CIC is not to be underestimated! Any error- incorrect reading of a radar scope, an inaccurate plot, a false evaluation, or a garbled communication to the Captain or Officer-of-the-Deck - could have disasterous consequences in the time of real emer- gency. For that reason the training is rigorous - until CIC works smoothly as a team. Helping to navigate the ship through fog, working with teams on the bridge for training purposes, coordinating rescue work for a down- ed plane, assisting in tactical maneuvering or station-keeping, and controlling aircraft are all duties in the life of an MOIM man. The hours are long, the job often tedious, but alertness can never be abandoned. The proficiency of this group, perhaps more than any other aboard, is under constant scrutiny from the Commanding Officer and others on the bridge, but CCN-919 OI takes pride enough in their ability to make external Watchfulness a secondary factor. 5 t I t V if it y E1 f,i 'V'- K , ' ,.::1:.:f: , fx : ,v:+:-.3 5 .. .dpi f , f-.,. , ,.-' .

S, eg tg, E1 OE Division A tremendous array of electronic equipment is necessary to implement the host of functions of the Operations Department aboard a nuclear powered, guided missile cruiser. The Division assigned the important responsibility for main- tenance and repair of this gear Cwhich is tied so closely to the offensive and defensive potential of CCN-9j, is HOEH or Operations Electronics. Three separate groups form this Division each having its own area of responsibility. Con- ventional search radars and radar repeaters, ECM Qelectronic countermeasuresj gear, LORAN, TACAN, etc., are maintained by one group, another gang within the Division - Data Technicians - must be knowledgeable of the highly complex system of computers, con- soles and data link transmission equipment which make up the NTDS QNaval Tactical Data Systemj. The main Univac computer in this sys- 7 104 Gilt W wx tem is an incredible technological advance from the initial computer developed only thirteen years ago, CombininglMark 32 Cheiglit-find- ingj and Mark 33 Qdistance-determiningj ra- dars, this overall system has an unbelievable fand classifiedj rate of obtaining solutions on multiple targets every second. Combined with the guided missiles aboard, it has been called the Navy's ultimate defensive weapon. The third section of MOE -the Electronic Technicians - maintain and repair the FAR CFixed Array Radarj systems -long range air search and tracking radar systems. The reliability of the complex gear under the cognizance of this Division is paramount if the ship is to carry out its mission successfully and therefore the high standards of technical know- how and performance of MOE personnel can be fully appreciated. X T he ANXSPS-32 Radar system, being repaired by a trio of intense electronic technicians, far left, is onbz one of many pieces of comp lex gearasszgnea' to OE Division. T he Mark 33, above, com- bines with the Mark 32 to form a rapz'd and accurate system for determining range bearing and height of multiple targets so that CCN-919 guided missiles can be zeroed in.

It is the men of the present-day De- partment, perhaps, who have clung most tena- ciously to their historical roles. When those not connected with the Navy think of sailors, their throughts turn first to the men working on deck - a traditional place for a sailor to be- rather than to specialists in electronics, weapons, nucle- ar power or other 'cmodern-day fields. The men of the Deck Department are no less specialists in their own right, however, and can be justly proud of their heritage in marlinspike seamanship, small boat handling and maintain- ing the visible parts oftheir vessel ship-shapen. True, those making up the Deck Divisions of a nuclear powered cruiser do not scamper out on the yards to unfurl sails in a shifting wind, but their skills Qand sometimes unglamorous work topsidej are indeed something to be proud of. The hours are still long, the tasks are still varied, and the early morning washdowns in all kinds of weather are sometimes burdensome, but it's not often that a request chit is put through ask- ing to leave the fresh air for the engineer- ing spaces. In Captain Alan Villiers' recent Men, Ships and the Sea, the seamanls life in the days of sail is described in all its severity: Gln Dr. Samuel Iohnson's view, going to sea was like being jail- ed, with the added risk of drowning. Many of Cliordj Nelson's day agreed, for life in the 'wooden walls' was harsh. uSome 850 officers and men crammed a ship of the line fNelson7s HMS.

Personnel ofthe Long Beach Dech De- partment are called uponforjast about every topside job conceivable, plus many below dechs. They are the first ones to action when entering port and the last to secure. T he rigging, opera- tion and maintenance of boat booms, boats, accommodation ladders, high- lines, cargo handling gear and assorted other equipment is abbz accomplished by these men, who also have large areas of CGN-9 to heep loohing ship- shape. 9 , , .,,!!t. .

The three Deck Divisions, utilizing one of the Navy's secret weapons, the chipping ham- mer, stage a never-ending battle against the enemy, oxidation. Since Third Division is responsible for the vast topside area aft, the after superstructure and the four utility boats, their skill With these and other tools of the trade is considerable. Long Beach must present a clean and ship-shape appearance even more than other ships ofthe lleet because of her eminence and the great num- ber of dignitaries and other guests Who come aboard yearly. The ship s entire complement takes pride in CCN-93 appearance, and there- fore they recognize and appreciate the role of these Deck Divisions. During normal steaming or special situations, personnel of Third Division are deeply engross- ed in their vessel's operations. Standing watches on the bridge, at life buoy stations, in after steer- ing, as phone talkers or plotters in Combat In- formation Center, or at the lifeboat station, these men are ready, willing and able to do anything When flight quarters is sounded, it's Third Division who responds to get the ship's helo aloft or securedg stations are manned during replenishmentg liberty boats are launched and run. If there's a job to be done, chances are that while you7re thinking about it, someone from Third Division will already be at it. X Divis 1on The functions of the personnel of4'X7' Division are almost as numerous as the men themselves. All are assigned to the Executive Staff, and serve CC-N-9's entire complement in a multiplicity of ways. Duties are so specialized that it is in real- ity a complex of many small divisions. The Post Office is one such unit. In a year's time, with a moderate overseas deployment, near- ly one hundred thousand pounds of mail are handled aboard Long Beach. In addition, other services are rendered - up to i400,000 worth of Postal Money Orders and 313,000 in stamps are sold in an average year. The Print Shop averages, if you like statistics, 1,920,000 printed sheets per year, ranging from the monthly newspaper Nuclear JVE'ne, to the all- important special request chits and the widely read Plan-of-the-Day. Welcome Aboard booklets are printed in French, Italian and Greek in addi- tion to English - valuable assets in the ship's implementation of the People-to-People Program overseas. The shipis policemen, the Master-at-Arms Force, supervise chow lines, pay lines and are always on hand to keep things running smooth- ly and in accordance with regulations. Other HX Division personnel have responsibilities in the ship's Photo Lab Qwho deserve great credit for the photographs in this bookj, the Public Information Office Cwhich writes and edits the ship 's paper, and assists in having photographs of ship's company in their home town papersj, and for the operation of the shipas 1,500 volume Library. Still others are clerical specialists, laboring in the Personnel Office, Legal Office, Captain's Of- fice, Training and Education Office and the Chaplainls Office.

Medical Dental An important facet of life aboard a naval vessel- particularly one on a globe-circling cruise -is the health and physical well-being of her officers and crew. The combined resources of H Division on Long Beach - Medical and Dental-provide such care in any situation, routine or emergency, no matter how far the ship may be steaming from land-based facilities. The presence of the medical arm of this Divi- sion was felt by ship's company even before the long deployment began-when shots'7 were administered to guard against diseases which might be lurking in other areas of the world. Underway, the full physical facilities of Medical were employed to service men complaining of everything from minor burns and seasickness to serious diseases or injuries. The complete oper- ating room, X-ray unit, pharmacy ftake two APC's and soak itj, hospital ward, isolation ward, out-patient treatment room and Bacterio- logical laboratory all are under the cognizance of the cruiser's single doctor and his staff. 1' 'fum M . w, l L41 3 1 Pr'-. 1 i ?k 3 ' v .4 1 I L. , fi . 2 2, 1 1 .1 , .N 512 Sanitation inspections are conducted frequently aboard ship, and a continuing program aimed at eliminating safety hazards is also in effect. Such preventative medicine, along with the im- munizations, is a particularly vital area of ship- board medical responsibility. CCN-9's ahead-shrinkersn have specialists of their own - three corpsmen who have received special training in the hazards of radiation. In spite of the proven safety of nuclear power plants aboard our naval vessels, attention is paid to in- suring no undue radiation exposure is experienced by anyone aboard. Environmental radiation surveys, water surveys and dosimetry surveys are all undertaken periodically. The high degree of readiness and competence in which all hands so confidently place their trust was proven many times during the long cruise, but perhaps never so dramaticallyas when an emergency appendectomy was performed on the evening of August 1, amid heavy seas. The other half of the ship's uhealth arm is Dental- staffed by one dental officer and two technicians. Their modern facilities, rated high for a cruiser-type, include X-ray facilities, an ad- ministrative office and waiting room, and a pair of fully-equipped laboratories. These physical attributes of Dental, along with the high degree of skill and training of its personnel, enable this section of HHN to perform all phases of dentistry except prosthetics. In addition to the repair of teeth and the cure of gum and mouth diseases, Dental recognizes the importance of oral hygiene for navy men, and promotes such a program for officers and crew. The Dental Offcer and his stafin 'TF' Division are constanthz on call for rou- tine as well as emergency assignments. Besides their duties of dental health care and its complicated procedures, they must also accomplish record-keeping chores and he knowledgeable about highbz technical equipment. N E W. A X N? f W MW ,, pf ,f As the Task Force approached the equator, where they were due to cross at zero degrees latitude, zero degrees longitude, all three ships readied for the traditional Navy ceremony? of initiating the f'Pollywogs Qthose men who never crossed the equatorj by the 'cShellbacks7' who had journeyed below previously. It is felt that those who 'chave the audacity to enter into the Royal Domain of King Neptunev Qi.e., the equator? must be tried at the Royal Court and suitably punished. A CGN-9 press release dutifully reported the events in detail: HAS the fateful day QAugust 6j drew nigh, cer- tain persons were chosen from the divisions aboard the ships, to campaign for the honor of being 4Miss Pollywogf The would-be beauties donned anything that they felt would bring out their better qualities, and paraded themselves throughout the ship in hopes of being able to rule over the festivities with King Neptune. 'cThe official gPollywog Ball' was held aboard Long Beach. . .on August 4, with the 'lovely ladies' being formerly introduced to the crew, followed by a dance, which gave everyone a chance to see how gracefully the.. .glorious girls carried themselves. Crossing the Linen ceremonies are a time-honored tradition in the Navies of the world King Neptune and hisRoyal Court were welcomed aboard at the Equator after his faithful subjects, the Truszgz Shellbaclcs, had properhz z'm- pressed the unworthy Polbzwogs with the solemnities ofthe occasion. fFif:vnw..x-m 2 y. 471, - - ---H' f-- .. . .

HThe day prior to the crossing of the equator is one set aside as gPollywog Day,' and woe be the poor Shellback who shows his face on this day. Seen aboard Long Beach were the results of what happens when the Shellbacks become daring and venture forth from their dark cor- ners. Some were seen tied to the barrels of the five-inch gun mounts, others were given a cfresh water wash down,' while the majority were cart- ed off to the 'brigi for a bright food coloring paint job. 'LAS high noon approached, the Pollywogs drew on the 'uniform of the day,' designated by the Shellbacks. These uniforms were many and varied, from arctic foul weather gear to diapers. At approximately 3:30 p.m., GMT, King Nep- tune's Royal Scribe, Davy Jones boarded Long Beach and read the Royal Decree from the 'Master of the depths,' stating that on the follow- ing day he would appear aboard the good ship Long Beach to carry out punishment and initia- tion of the Pollywogs for their unheard-of actions 125 , against his representatives, the Shellbacks. c'The festivities of 'Pollywog Day' were also highlighted by the crowning of 'Miss Pollywog 1964' and her ladies-in-waiting. H. . .on the 6th of August King Neptune board- ed the ship at 9:20 and the initiation commenced with the rounding up of all Pollywogs. The 'Jolly Roger' was hoisted according to tradition and the 'special offenders' were summoned to the Royal Court for trial and punishment.

His illustrious and most awesome Majesty sends his respects to you and Wishes this great force, now cleansed of putrid Pollywogs, fair Winds during the remain- der of its orbit of his domain. While TF-1 was steaming south off Africa's west coast, an attack on U. S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin Qoff North Viet Namj by Com- munist torpedo boats set the stage for a new in- ternational crisis. The U. S. Seventh Fleet was ready to answer the challenge, however, and Atlantic Fleet headquarters quickly announced that there would be no changes Qi.e., speed-upj in the round-the-world cruise schedule of the nuclear trio. The three vessels moved around the Cape of Good Hope on Monday, August 10, running in- to gale force winds from the southwest. That afternoon they rendezvoused with ships of the South African Navy. The winds continued to blow, building the seas into swells of up to twenty-eight feet the next day. Long Beach took rolls of thirty degrees, resulting in some sleepless nights and measurably shorter chow lines. Captain Price wisely decided a good night's sleep would be easier to come by in an old-fashioned Navy hammock, but it was dis- covered this was one item Supply Department had neglected to purchase for the deployment. The boatswain,s mates, however, using some canvas from the sail locker and their ingenuity, constructed one, and installed it in the Sea Cabin. A heavy schedule of drills, with emphasis on engineering and damage control, was conducted during CCN-9,5 first week in the Indian Ocean. On August 15 there was an 'funderway visit to Nairobi, featuring air power and fire power demonstrations staged by Task Force One. The ship crossed the equator for the second time the following day QSundayj, and readied for a week of rigorous training, to be highlighted by completion of the annual competitive exer- cises in damage control and engineering casual- ty control. The success of these important drills, as had the completion of other 'gcompetsn con- ducted prior to leaving the Mediterranean, bol- stered the morale of the hard-working personnel involved and placed Long Beach well ahead of schedule for the current year's program. TF-1 rendezvoused with three frigates from the 128 Pakistan Navy on the morning of the 20th, an event which later prompted the Task Force Com- mander to advise the Commander in Chief of the Pakistan Navy that H. . .we were deeply im- pressed with the professional competence of Com- modore Salimi and his fine ships when they j oined us at sea with a true sailorman's welcome. It is a source of great satisfaction that the United States Navy and Pakistan Navy can operate with such smoothness and efficiency on short notice .... A fire power demonstration, of course, was held for the benefit of local VIP's, following which the cruiser and carrier moved to the Manora anchorage Qwhile Bainbridge went in and tied upj for the start of a visit to Karachi. Located on the Arabian Sea, this West Pakistan port offered the first liberty for the crew in several weeks. Getting to the beach posed a problem, however, as monsoon winds whipped up the sea to the extent that boating became hazardous, an assist from the host navy was required - a mine sweeper - to transport the liberty party ashore. T he Underway Visit became a standard jfeature on the nuclear power- ed cruise around the world The ships of Operation Sea Orbit had VIPSftown out to them from countries bordering seas the ships traversed T he Marine Honor Guard greeted the guests when they came aboard. Before the cruise was oven a great number of important persons from uncommitted nations and countries jriendbz to the United States had visited the Task Force and witness- ed fire power demonstrations.

The city of 2,000,000 people Qgrown from lessthan 200,000 just fifteen years agoj offered little in the Way of night clubs, but shipas company found fine eating and some entertainment in several of the modern hotels. The Hostellerie de France, Hotel F arooq and Shezan7s were all patronized by those seek- ing to sample local specialties as Well as more familiar dishes. The most popular spots for im- bibing included the Taj Bar, American Bar and Irani Bar. Picture taking and shopping again proved popular pastimes for the liberty party, items of brass and carved wood were high on the list of must', purchases made at the open-air bazaars, and many a man returned to the ship wondering how he would pack a camel saddle into his locker. Even as the Task Force was steaming into Karachi, stories were reaching everyone back home Qvia the news mediaj about the progress of Operation Sea Orbit. The Associated Press reported in a widely distributed account: The U. S. Navy's nuclear task force, show- piece of seapower, reached the Pakistan port of Karachi Thursday, setting an apparent record for the longest nonstop transit of surface ships in maritime history - more than 11,000 miles. 'cThe arrival of the atomic-powered force in the subcontinent of Asia - where Red China looms to the north - has both diplomatic and military significance. c'The round-World cruise of the three ships. . . has been so internationally sensitive that the De- fense and State Departments have withheld the identity of ports at which the task force has been scheduled to visit.

Pacific Fleet. On the 25th the third transit of the equator was accomplished. In the mean- time more information was disseminated on the remainder of the cruise schedule, with Melbourne, Australia and Wellington, New Zealand listed as CCN-9's next stops. A daily schedule of training exercises continued for all Departments, and the gunners even got the opportunity to demonstrate their efficiency with the five-inchers. On Monday, August 31, the Task Force staged another Hunderway vistn this time to Fremantle, Australia. Dignitaries toured Enterprise and ob- served air power and fire power demonstrations. In addition, a special Hflyovern was conducted by the aircraft carrier's planes over Fremantle Beach. A similar schedule was undertaken for the benefit of Melbourne's citizens three days later, and then CGN-9 moved into that port for a visit. This marked the half-way point in the 30,500 mile un-replenished cruise. All hands had worked particularly hard to get the ship looking in top shape, and she did in- deed present a fine appearance for the visitors who streamed aboard at the 'copen house host- ed in Melbourne. Members of the crew who served as tour guides wereparticularly impressed with the friendliness and interest exhibited by CGN-93s guests, guide assignments had never been as rewarding. Again the in-port period was scheduled to be brief- in on the 3rd and underway again Satur- day morning, the 5th. There was a great deal to see in a single day ashore in this city of nearly 2,000,000 people. Highlights for the sightseers included The Shrine of Rememberance the Insti- tute of Applied Sciences and the Parliament House, while there were also beautiful gardens and several fine art galleries for those soinclined. There was a wide choice of hotels restaurants and night clubs Q many featuring top-flight enter- tainment by stars from all over the world for whiling away the later hours of a visit ashore. Formal entertainment was made available also chiefs and enlisted personnel. Everyone felt sev- eral more days could be spent profitably in Mel- bourne, but by this time it was well known that Long Beach wasn't on a pleasure cruise. Be- sides, home seemed reasonably near in days, if not miles, at this point. Upon departure, Long Beach dispatched a message to the American Consul General in Mel- bourne which stated in part: 'cWe sail today properly overwhelmed Qby Melbourne hospital- ityj to the last manf, D as dances and parties were arranged for officers, 133 .

The next stop came immediately - Monday, September 7 - as the ship began a visit to Wel- lington, New Zealand. An attractive city located at the southern tip of the country's North Island, Wellington is noted for its friendly citizenry. This became evident at once, and all hands ap- preciated the cordial reception accorded them in the capital city. Sightseeing and a certain amount of personally- directed wining and dining relaxed ship's com- pany in preparation for the forthcoming long trans-Pacific cruise. Gift shopping, however, was perhaps the most popular pastime, as many adopted a g'Do your Christmas shopping early motto. The favorite bargains purchased included Maori wood carvings and Maori Qcostumedj dolls, greenstone jewelry and Paua Shell jewelry. Following departure early on September 9, CCN-9 joined up with Enterprise once again, and the host city's dignitaries were treated to an air power demonstration, as a final parting ges- ture, the carrier's planes staged a beach flyover.

The trio set an unofficial speed record for the crossing, averaging 27-28 knots, and proving one more time the flexibility and endurance afforded our Naval forces by use of nuclear-powered vessels. When the Task Force rounded the southern tip of South America -the famous Cape Horn - their new course was in itself enough to signify that home was not too far distant. Steaming up the coast of the continent, a fire power demonstra- tion was performed for the benefit of Buenos Aires, Argentina VIP's on Monday, September 21, and off Sao Paulo two days later. In be- tween, ship's company aboard Long Beach, Bainbridge and Enteffprzse were squaring away the appearance of their respective ships for the Rio de Janeiro visit, scheduled for that afternoon. Liberty Call commenced as soon as Supply Department could change the dollars into pocket- fuls of cruzieros - the last time a strange rate of exchange would pose problems for awhile ! Rio was worth waiting for. The liberty party enthusiastically streamed ashore, even after read- ing the disconcerting passage in the ship's Rio booklet about transportation ashore: c'The taxi drivers are a tough lot and they have been known to assault anyone who refused to pay the Qlate nightj overcharges. Traffic signs are al- most non-existentg there are no speed limits and all drivers are very reckless. Horns are not used at night after 10 p.m., and headlights are forbid- den on the city streets at night. If a car hits you on the city streets, YOUcan be sued. Sightseeing was magnificent in the 399-year- old city, and many men took a cable car to the top of famed Sugar Loaf, at the port entrance of the bay, for a view of the Copacabana Beach areag others used the cog railway to reach the summit of Corcovado for an even more com- manding view of the city and its large harbor. It was pleasantly warm in Rio, and the tourist season was just getting into full swing. Prices 140 were a trifle high for food and beverages in the nicer establishments and shoppers failed to find the range of bargains which had been available in most of the other ports visited. There were restaurants clubs and bars galore and the South American rhythms inspired every- one to fully relax and enjoy the final liberty of a long cruise. The most popular spot featuring dancing proved to be the Roof Garden Bar atop the Miramar Hotel but Ciro s Domino and the Golden Room also drew appreciative audiences of American Navymen. In addition to the dining rooms in the major hotels such eating places as Clube de Engenharia Cantinho and Gauchia drew patronage for evening meals. Since this would be the final opportunity to experiment on local delicacies of an international flavor more than a usual number sampled Churrasco or other native dishes washed down with a glass of Rio brew Chopp Brahma.

Underway early on the morning of Friday September 25 all hands aboard CCN-9 buckled down for the last leg ofa long journey. As the Task Force sped toward the United States an epidemic of channel fever threatened but there was work and training still to be accomplished. Many personnel would be transferred from the cruiser before she next set forth and new leaders in many Division responsibilities had to be qualified. f'f ::emwLmuqt:,:-'- .. f Q ...--,i ., hc., ,.,. .M -. -..a....,.--,. - amiga-. .,i W fh.....,.- ..... , , Right, the stafue of Christ fha! caps Corcovado, more than 2300jQe! above the level of the sea, commands all of Rio a'e faneiro.

Families, friends and VIPs waited on the doch to greet the sailors home horn the sea. Many officers were just about digging them- selves out from under the avalanche of special request chits when Long Beach neared Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday, October 3. An agonizing slowdown ensued at that point, but coinciding with a break in the weekend-long Norfolk rain, CCN-9 finally put into port at 3:30 p.m. to the cheers of families and visitors, and to the hails of a list of dignitaries including Secretary of the Navy Paul Nitzeg Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral David McDonaldg Lieutenant-Governor Mills E. Godwin, jr.g the Mayor of Norfolk, Roy B. Marttin, Jr.g and Congressmen Porter Hardy, Ir. and Thomas H. Downing. All the while several local bands provided .music for the historic occasion. The crew was also pleased to see Miss Virginia, Miss Norfolk, and Miss Hos- pitality on the dock. A lot more had been accomplished than the setting of speed records, endurance records and even personnel discipline records, the prestige of the United States and her mighty Navy had been greatly enhanced, and proof positive had been established of the undeniable role of nuclear pow- er in the future of peacetime and wartime naval service. Operation Sea Orbit had been an unqualified success -thanks not only to the hardware, but more important, the men of Long Beach. 147 ,A..,,-. ,,, .... .-,c.
