MACON (CA-132) Care of Fleet Post Office New York, New York To Our Readers: The editors and staff of this Cruise Book have tried to bind together, artistically, a kaleidoscopic impression of the MACON ' S way of life during the 1956- ' 57 Mediterranean Cruise. We have tried, wherever possible, to incorporate new ideas and techniques in the production of this volume, and we hope that its value to you as a nostalgic reminder of your tour with the MACON during the cruise will increase with the passage of time — justify- ing our efforts and the pur- pose of this cruise book. — The Eds — CANNES, FRANCES VALENCIA, SPAIN GIBRALTER departed Norfolk 8 Sept. 1956 to Naples - thru Islands to Genoa, Italy I to Istanbul, Turkey Athens, Greece exitie v ea c o Point Jacob, Moses, Isaac, Abrahai off Coast of Hafia, Israel to Messina, Sicily to Naples, Italy to Cannes, France s TRIPOLI, LIBIA I Tripoli, Libya Valencia, Spain Gibraltar arrive - Norfolk 25 Jan. 1957 arrive - Boston 27 Jan.

He attended public schools in Cleveland, and had one year at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, before his appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, from the 20th District of Ohio in July 1922. He was graduated and commissioned Ensign on June 3, 1926, and through subsequent pro- motions attained the rank of Captain to date from August 1, 1943. His selection to the rank of Rear Admiral was approved by the President on July 26, 1954, and was later confirmed by the Senate to date from July 1, 1954. Upon graduation from the Naval Academy, he was as- signed to the USS ARKANSAS, and was transferred to the USS NIAGARA in February 1928 for duty until May 1 930. Reporting a month later to the Submarine Base, New London, Connecticut, he had instruction in sub- marines there and with Submarine Division 20, after which he was assigned to the USS ARGONAUT for duty at sea from March 1931 to February 1933. Returning to Annapolis, he was under instruction in Engineering at the Postgraduate School for two years. Continuing at the University of California, at Berkeley, he was there owarded the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering in June, 1936. He was next assigned to Submarine Division 10, Squad- ron 5, of the Asiatic Fleet, with consecutive duty aboard the USS S-39 and USS S-37, and from March 14 to November 25, 1938, was Commanding Officer of the USS S-41. Detached from the latter, he returned to the United States, reporting on Januory 27, 1939, to the Bureau of Engineering, Navy Department, Washington, D. C. He was detached in July 1940, a month after that Bureau was combined with the Bureau of Construction and Repair and redesignated Bureau of Ships. Ordered to the USS BROOKLYN, he joined that cruiser in August 1940, and was aboard her when the United States entered World War II in December 1941. In February 1942 he assumed command of the USS DAHL- GREN, a destroyer having on experimental engineering plant, employed in East Coast anti-submarine operations and also as a sonar training vessel for the Sonar School at Key West. In December 1942 he was ordered to command the USS STANLY. After shakedown training at Guantanamo the USS STANLY joined the Pacific Fleet, in the then forming Destroyer Squadron 23. That squad- ron was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, and he was personally awarded the Novy Cross. The citations follow in part: Presidential Unit Citation: For extraordinary heroism in action against enemy Japanese forces during the Solomon Islands Campaign, from November 1, 1943, to February 23, 1944. Boldly penetrating submarine-in- fested water during a period when Japanese naval and air power was at its height, Destroyer Squadron TWENTY THREE operated in daring defiance of repeated attacks by hostile air groups, closing the enemy ' s strongly fortified shores to carry out sustained bombardments against Jap- anese coastal defenses . . . Commanded by forceful lead- ers and manned by aggressive, fearless crews, the ships of Squadron TWENTY THREE coordinated as a superb fighting team; they countered the enemy ' s fierce aerial bombing attacks and destroyed or routed his planes; they intercepted his surface task forces, sank or damaged his warships by torpedo fire and prevented interference with our transports ... Navy Cross: For extraordinary heroism as Commanding Officer of the USS STANLY, in action against enemy Jap- anese forces in the Solomon Islands on the night of No- vember 1-2, 1943. With his Task Force engaging a Japanese surface force of superior fire power (he) hurled the full fighting strength of his ship against the enemy and, by his inspiring leadership ond skilled combat tactics, aided his Task Force in sinking five hostile warships, in damaging four others, and in completely routing the enemy, thereby contributing materially to the successful establishment of our beachhead on Bougainville Island . . . Detached from command of the STANLY on January 1, 1944, he assumed command of Destroyer Division 46, a part of Destroyer Squadron 23. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat V , and cited For heroic achievement as Commander Destroyer Division FORTY SIX ... in action against enemy Japanese forces Northwest of the Bismarck, Archipelago, at Kavieng, New Ireland, and on the Duke of York Island, February 17 to 23, 1944 . . . (He) fought his ships gallantly despite intense fire from hostile shore batteries and aircraft (and) directed his vessels in destroying two Japanese auxiliary vessels, one large cargo ship, a mine layer and four barges, and inflicting heavy damage on important shore installa- tions, subsequently bringing his destroyers through these hazardous engagements without damage . . . He was also aworded a Gold Star in lieu of the second Bronze Stor Medal, the citation stoting in part: . . . While serving as Commander of a Destroyer Division under the operational command of the SEVENTH Amphibious Force, and forming a part of the screen of the first Mindoro resupply echelon in December 1944. When attacking Japanese planes damaged two landing ships and a liberty-type merchont ship, setting them on fire, (he) was ordered to take charge of the rescue operation. Fire and explosion finally forced the abandonment of both landing ships, and while survivors from these ships were being picked up, the rescue group was attacked by four Japanese planes, three of which were shot down. The ves- sels of the rescue group arrived of destination in time for the scheduled unloading . . . As Commander of a Task Unit in operations in support of landing forces for the liberation of Bataan-Corregidor, and Panay-Negros in the Philippines, from February 16 to April 24, 1945, he was also awarded a Gold Star in lieu of the third Bronze Star Medal with Combat V , and cited for contributing materially to the success of these operations. Under orders of May 1945, he returned to the United States and reported for duty in the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department. Commencing January, 1949 he served as Commander Destroyer Squadron 5 for one year. From the spring of 1950 until August 1951 he was officer in charge of Naval Engineering Curricula on the staff of the Navol Postgraduate School, Annapolis, being then detached to attend the National War College, Wash- ington, D.

McManes, Commander Battleship • Cruiser Force, Atlantic Fleet. Receiving the number one award in shipboard ceremonies early this morn- ing wos Captain V. L. Lowrance, USN, ] the MACON ' S skipper. Rear Admiral McManes congratulated Lowrance and his officers and men fori their achievements and noted that the I accumulative efficiency score of the winning vessel was appreciably higher I than the top mark last year. I think it is significant that the MACON is the world ' s first guided mis- sile ship to receive the Battle Efficiency { award, McManes said. Aside from her distinction as the top cruiser in the powerful Atlantic Fleet, the MACON is the only cruiser armed I with the Navy ' s supersonic guided mis- sile, Regulas . The Ragulas-armed cruiser departs tomorrow at 10 a.m. for the Mediter- ranean where it will strengthen the U.S. Sixth Fleet with the Navy ' s fore- most atomic-capable weapon. The departure, however, has nothing to do with the gathering war clouds in the Middle East. AH KNOWS HOW PROUD VO ' FELLAS OM TH ' MACON MUS ' E E, FO ' WINNIN ' TH ' BATTLE EFFICIENCY COMPV-TISHUM.

' I UNDER i it man® SEPT 8 1956 WAY Taking her first steps toward the beginning of her fifth Mediterranean tour of duty, the MACON ' S lines slipped from pier 2 in Norfolk and she inched smoothly into Hampton Roads. There is nothing sweet about the sorrow of leaving loved ones behind, yet getting under- way for distant duty is an exciting if not mo- mentous occasion for any ship. With her ride the hopes and prayers for a happy and success- ful cruise — and with her go the love and bless- ings of hundreds of sweethearts, wives and families. So it was with the MACON. Standing at quarters in the warmth of a Virginian morning, her more than 1200 men focused their minds on as many different emo- tions of leaving. For some of us looking ahead there were thoughts of long days at sea, of liberty in Turkey, of flight quarters and of towns in France and Italy. For others, off on their first cruise, there was much to wonder about; much to get used to — the thrill of crossing the Atlantic for the first time, the endless hours of drills, instructions and G.Q. that lay ahead, and of visiting places that up ' til now were merely names in a book. For all of us, however, it was the chance to finally put our training to work — the opportunity to see if we could measure up to our number one rating; the occasion to match our ship against the rigours of unit requirements within the powerful Sixth Fleet. Perhaps a few of us were reminded of why we were leaving at all and of why we were going overseas for five long months — to bolster the confidence of our allies in Europe; to be ready to defend our nation against any aggressor, and to display our good will to the people of the Med along with our basic dislike for war.

Ships at sea use close to a dozen forms of visual signals to a considerable extent as it is of major importance for tactical purposes. The flashing light, flag hoist and semaphore are the three standard types of OS communication, but many other types are employed to serve the vital function of exchanging information between fleet units — all of which fill a definite and sig- nificant need in naval communication.

The spirit of the MACON ' S S-3 Division personnel is well described by the motto, Service for ship ' s means ships for service. Next to having guns and machines and men to man them, logistical supplies are of main importance and the services they render. The ship ' s store, laundry, barber shop, geedunk stand and small stores all pro- vide that important service to the men of the MACON wihch significantly contributes to the men ' s overall sharp appearance and spirit.

Colorful Spanish park. Homeward Bound As liberty expired for the last time in Valen- cia, Spain, our five month tour of duty with the Sixth Fleet came to an informal end. Relieved by the USS IOWA (BB-61) on January 15th, we cast off our lines for the last time and slowly eased through the Spanish harbor to- ward home. It was not without memories that we left. The months of tension and training had left a mark that will never be forgotten: hours of drill call and G.Q.; the glow of harbor lights in a new port; the hours of refueling and replenish- ing and the ache of tired bones when we hit the sack; Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo, Athens, Tripoli; the Bazaar; tension off Haifa, Jaffa and the Gaza Strip; Messina; Tony ' s, the U.N and the Black Cat — so many things that will always come back to us as the bittersweet memories of our maturing age. It is our eternal wish that some day man will put war behind him and devote himself to nobler pursuits. And if by this cruise, we have hastened that day across the face of time by the space of a second, the high hope to which we made our journey will not have been THE SIXTH FLEET The Sixth Fleet is a fast carrier task force, completely mobile, with no land bases in Europe. The Sixth Fleet has two principal mis- sions: furnishing NATO support in accordance with American com- mitments and to foster the promotion of good will of Amercians among the peoples of the European community. The MACON joined the Sixth Fleet in September after leaving her old home port, Norfolk, Virginia, earlier that month. During her sea periods the MACON participated in fleet operations. Between Fleet operations the MACON visited various old world ports that border on the Mediterranean Sea. Among the ports of call were Naples (Italy); Genoa (Italy); Istanbul (Turkey); Phaleron Bay (Greece); Messina (Sicily); Cannes (France); Tripoli (Libya); Valencia (Spain); and Gibraltar (British Crown Colony). The Sixth Fleet, as a manifestation of the friendly alliance of the United States with Mediterranean nations, trains to be ready to defend liberty for free men. The Sixth Fleet is a powerful implement of a strong nation working for peace and organized good will. The MACON has never fired a shot in anger and the men who call her home do not wish to fire that shot. They would rather continue the ship ' s mission as a roving ambassador of goodwill, but if need be, she stands ready as part of the Sixth Rleet to combat military acts of aggression against our friends. Being a part of the fleet enables realistic training opportunities for the crew, builds morale for those who have the urge to see the world, and presents an un- equalled opportunity to create good will and a better understanding with the Near East peoples. The Sixth Fleet ' s mission of which the MACON is a part, involves the recognized responsibility of the U.S. in maintaining world p eace through good will. Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arms doth bind the restless wave; Who bid ' st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep. O hear us when we cry to thee, For those in peril on the sea. I nder the guidance of CDR. E. A. Ham, two chapel services were conducted each week in order that crew members might worship and develop a better understanding of themselves and their ship- mates. oily evening prayers at sea and the Chaplain ' s chat in the ship ' s ■ paper brought out thoughts relevant to the adjustment of a world of international tensions. During the week, crew members found a cordial greeting and thoughtful advice on all personal prob- lems in the friendly understanding manner of the Chaplain through Bible study classes and personal consultations. ■■IHHBHH ]plain E.
