MARQUETTE (AKA - 95) HISTOID The keel for hull 259, designated u the I MARQUETTE (AKA-95) was laid in the yards of the Federal Shipbuilding: and Drvdock Company at Kearny, New Jersey, during October, 1944, and the ship was launched on April, 1945. Marquette designated a- an attack cargo ship was converted from the Maritime Commission ' s C-2 type hull. Fully loaded, -In- displaces about 16,000 tons. Sin it approximately 460 feet long anil has a beam of 63 feet. The ship was com- missioned on June 20, 1945, at the Brooklyn I S Navy Yard, and she has since had eight commanding officers, with Captain Donald J. MacDonald, I SN in command at the present time. On the Lsl ot August, 1945, after a period of shakedown, and training. Marquette began a round-the-world voyage, covering 31,659 miles, and making 2 ports in 9 countries, including Australia, the Philhpme Islands. Strait- Settlements, Ceylon, Arabia, Egypt, and Greece. On arrival at Norfolk in April 1946. and until May 1948, (lie ship operated with the Amphibious Force, I .S. Atlantic Fleet, making reserve cruises and taking part in amphibious operation-. From May until October, 1948, she was in the Mediterranean, operating with the Sixth fleet. During the lirst months of 1 9 4 . Marquette was in the Puerto Rico area engaged in training troops of the Second Marine Air Wing. From Ma) until September. 1949, she operated in the Mediterranean, making such ports as Augusta, Sicily; Malta: Athens, Greece; Uarseilles. France: and Haifa. Israel. Activities during 1950 included Operation Portrex, in the I arribbean area, a Midshipmen training cruise, and amphibious operations off Bermuda. During 1951, the Marquette returned to the Mediterranean for a five month period during which liberty was enjoyed bv all hands in Gibraltar. Italy. Greece, Algiers, Malta, and Crete. Early in July she returned to the Norfolk area for an overhaul period at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company. Work was completed there on Sep- tember 12. During the remainder of 1951. Marquette went through a rigorous training period, followed by a three-week Caribbean cruise, and a period of upkeep and leave. Early in 1952, the ship participated in Operation Micowex. a cold weather exercise, in waters a few hundred miles south of Greenland. Following the 40 knot winds, rough seas and zero weather of Greenland, came a third voyage to the sunbaked Caribbean, where most of us were able to lose our nose colds and all of us breathed a little easier. A time of tender work in Norfolk came next, and following this, we began to take on supplies for the Cruise which will unfold in the pages following.

We have had a description of an amphibious landing, and the part played I Marquette in it ' s execution. Next we will turn to the duties of the group of men i i direct]) responsible for handling the boats and the cargo; Marquette ' s Deck Depart- ment. At the word ' land the landing Force , the boats arc lowered. Strategically -potted about the ship arc •hatch bosses , who coordinate the unloading from each hatch, signalling to the men controlling the booms and to the men on the steadying lines a the) guide the - ' ton «LCM ' s over the side. The job of the deck force is far from completed when the boats arc waterliornc. however. A crew of three men is required in each ol 21 boats; two ol these are deck personnel, while the third i- the boat engineer. reat responsibility falls on a boat coxswain; in a loaded LCM arc well over a hundred fully equipped troop-. Competent boat seamanship provides a solid blow at the enemy with the safe arrival of each boat at the edge of the beach, and a high degree .l -kdl i- re- quired to control a boat where high sea-, submerged obstacles, and enemv lire combine to make things difficult. Late in the landing the suppl) phase begins, and here again expert manipulation of cargo boom-, lines, and boat- lead- to suc- cess in a complicated task. Here. then, arc the -troth offensive activities of K 95 in amphibious operation-. She also has a more defensive set of teeth: anti-aircraft batteries. Although far from having the anti-aircraft power of a battleship or cruiser. Marquette can contribute 5 ince, 10MM and 20MM tire to defense, as well as night illumination for other ship- bat- teries and her own. In addition to these more dramatic functions of the deck and gunnery force, there are many routine jobs, which are nonetheless important. 1 he gun force is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the ship s batteries and fire control equipment, as well as for the suppl) of small arms and ammunition stored in the ships armorv. Long hours of careful work are required to keep the guns in such condition that they will be dependable at a moment ' s notice, and will stand up under long periods of use if need be. Among the deck gangs many ta-k- are responsibility for the general upkeep of the boats (except for the engines), as well as maintenance of most of the weather deck spaces. Together with the Engineering Department, the deck force handles fueling at sea in controlling lines and fueling hose. The Deck Department also handles the details of numerous other opera- tions; towing, passing mail and personnel at sea. raising and lowering the anchor, and providing many of the personnel needed to handle the ship at sea and in port. The Deck Department might be said to carry the greatest load of respon- sibilities on the ship; at the least it is certainly the group of men most closely in touch with the primary mission of the Marquette. orking with its component, the Gunnery Department, the deck force is an organization of highly trained men, doing a highly important job. • 1 £ t l L I J PSWtif £ £ _ THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Without the engineers, a ship would be lifeless; a mere mass of metal with no heart. It is the engineer- who provide the know-how necessary to propel the ship: it is this group of men who repair and maintain the boats, and without them Marquette- contribution in a landing would falter as quickly as if the coxswains failed to do their job. Vm engineer is at the throttle when the ship is underway, an electrician is responsible for maintaining an adequate supply of power from the generators and through the switchboards, and boiler tenders and machinist ' s mates keep watch over the boilers and turbines. The Sperrv Gyrocompasses, which give the ship ' s course to the helmsan, are maintained by electrician ' s mates, and the functioning of the steering gear itself is the responsibility of the enginemen. The complex system of refrigeration running throughout the ship is serviced by engineers, as are the many winches and controls which comprise the cargo handling equipment aboard. A vital factor in many of the ship ' s activities is its fresh water supply. Not only must fresh water be available for personal use of the crew, but large quantities of it are used in cooking, in the laundry, and for the production of steam for the turbines. The last function, results not only in power to turn the screw, but also to turn the generators. Some of the ship ' s fresh water is purchased in her various ports of call, but the great majority must be distilled from the sea in the ship ' s evaporators. Here again the engineers provide the manpower and technical skill. All of the ship ' s internal communications are provided bv the engineers. We owe the sound powered phone system, a vital link between all parts of the ship at General Quarters, as well as the general alarm system, which calls the ship to battle, to these men. The engineers ' job is characterized bv a minimum of fanfare and a maximum of heat and grime. It is a job well done. H : T 1 SUPPLY AND ADMINISTRATION Synonymous with the word Supply in the Nav) Bhould be the word service , Marquette ' Suppl) Depart- ment provides a number of import an I services ; in fact, it ' s activities are in lm.-.ii measure directed toward the improvement of shipboard living conditions and morale I the crew. In addition, Su [ | K is responsible for procuring hundreds of machine (•art- lor maintenance and repair, .1- well ,1- tin- many small hut important items without which ship busii sould not I - carried on.

Laundry service, another Supply contribution (and headache) means long hot hours for the men concerned and more comfort for the rest of 11-. Twice a month, the Disbursing Section of Supply becomes the most popular group of men aboard, as the pay line forms. Over S 25,000 in cash and checks is paid out on each pavdav, and approximately S 200.(10(1 in cash is always on hand, to make certain that we have enough money for living, leave, and liberty.

Here is indeed a case ol the words ' suppl) and service being used in the same breath, and effectively BO. IP- La-sag— r V ' r - 3V THE OPERATIONS AND NAVIGATION DEPARTMENTS A ship underway is ae complex as a modern factory, and requires as much teamwork to keep its wheels oiled and its course steady. As the factory ' s daily activities are coordinated from a nerve center of junior and senior executives, so a ship underway is conned from the bridge bv the Commanding Officer and his assistants. Th ere are a number of specialists involved in the operation of a ship, some of which we have already seen. The personnel most directly responsible for the direction of a ship underway, however are the Operations and Navigation Depart- ments. Under the general heading of Operations come two relatively small but important groups, the Radiomen and the Radarmen. The former are concerned with the the constant flow of general messages, both in plain-language and in encrypted form, which come into the ship by radio. It is in Radio Central that chronological files are kept of every incoming and outgoin g message, including those handled by visual means. Here also the cryptocenter is located, where messages classified for security reasons are processed. The Combat Information Center, or CIC, is the workshop of the Radarmen, and here radar contacts, both on the surface and in the air. are picked up and plotted. It is here also that voice radio transmissions are handled under- way: such messages are later routed to Radio Central for furthur routing and filing. From both of these centers of underway activity, comes a steady flow of information to those on the bridge, enabling them to see the tactical picture earlier and more completely. A third group of personnel, and one closely integrated with the first two, is the Navigation Department. These men are responsible for the ship ' s visual signalling facilities, the flashing light, the flag hoist, and the semaphore flags. It is their job, under the Navigator, to obtain the star sights, sun lines, and visual bearings which provide the Conn with vital data on the geographical position of the ship. Also included in Operations is the ship ' s administration office and the post Office, which provide the important flow of paper work which with radio and visual signalling, keeps Marquette in touch with the rest of the Navy and with the world at large. At the engineers provide the heart, the deck force the muscle, and Supply, the fuel, Operations and Navigation contribute the eye and ears of the ship. M 5 J ' H i£is THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Health, Sante, Salute, Hygeia — many words meaning the same — lands presenting many regional diseases — appendicitis, dysentery, French tomato aches. Italian melon gripes, Greek wine pains — all treated by a small compact group of eight men. Then, of ' course, the hazards of dustry ; fractures, dislocations, lacerations and falique were also the cunq foes of the Medical Department. As the Deck Department preserved the ex and the engineers cared for the ship ' s dynamic interior, so the Medical Depart dedicated to the maintenance of the most important facet of l -king ship, tin MAY 3 - 5 Gibraltar 5 • 7 Enroute to Asinara 7 • 9 Asinara 9 - 14 Fleet Exercises 14-23 Syracuse 23 - JUNE - 2 Golfe Juan 2-6 Fleet Exercises 7 - 10 Brindisi 10-16 Fleet Exercises 16-23 Naples 23 - JULY - 2 Fleet Exercises 2-15 Golfe Juar. 15-24 Fleet Exercises 24 - 30 Phaleron Bay AUG. 1 - 6 Famagusta 6-13 Fleet Exercises 13 - 18 Malta 18 - 23 Fleet Exercises 23 - SEPT. - 3 Taranto 3-12 Fleet Exercises 12-18 Golfe Juan 18 • 20 Enroute to Marseilles 20 - 26 Marseilles 26 - OCT. - 2 Fleet Exercises 2 5 Oran 6 - 8 Algiers GIBRALTAR I S 1 4C ...

Many remnants oi W rid War II are in evidence on t he steep cliffs and seemed to symbolise the bulldog tenacity at the British, who through the centuries havt controlled the Mediterra- nean primarily by means of this majestic rock. SYRACUSE Syracuse can be characterized to mo-t of us by our first introduction this trip, to Cigaretto Joe. the battle cry of seemingly all Sicilians from six to sixty. More important perhaps was our first introduction to what remains of the great Mediterranean civilizations of antiquity. At the height of its power Syracuse was the center of a small empire having colonies of its own. Daily tours showed us what is left of a Greek Theatre. Roman Amphitheatre. Ancient Cathedrals and Palace and earl) Christian Catacombs. The ancient city was much larger than the present one and numbered among its citizens men such as Theocritus and Archimedes. Archimedes is the first example in history of the absent minded professor. Because of his fame as a physicist, the Roman legions who were besieging Syracuse had orders that he must be captured alive. When the walls finally were broached and the victorious troop- were sweeping through the streets. Archimedes was sitting in his study puzzling over a problem. Amid the screams of the overwhelmed citizens and the uproar of the battle, some Roman soldiers burst in and asked him if In- was Vrchimedes. since thev had order- not to kill if he was. Engrossed in his problem he did not reply. They asked him a second time, and again he refused to be interrupted. So they killed him. Modern Syracuse has a thriving fishing industry, and trade in fruit, wine and oil is conducted, but the greatness of the port lies in its past. Here on one narrow winding street we could trace the development of Syracuse from its founding in 734 B.C. through the great period of Theocritus and Archimedes to 1952 s Cigaretto Joe .

Brindisi has a culture and economy reflecting her dependence on the sea. Across the harbor from the pier where we tied up was a beautiful massive monument dedicated to all Italian sailors lost at sea. The tall structure was in the shape of a giant rudder and reflected more than anything else the seafaring outlook of the city. Parks and cafes are much in evidence along the streets of Brindisi and we found both enjovable. Baseball was the major sport here for the Marquette and we always played to a large gathering of the local small fry although language difficulties made us wonder whose side they were on. While at Brindisi we could observe the varied harbor activity of a portion of the Italian Fleet. Manv visitors from the Italian Navy were received on board and despite the language barrier we found that sailors the world over have many similarities.

Algiers is built on the slopes of tin Sahel, a chain of hills parallel to the toast. It presents I von, lulu! view from the sea — a series of brilliant white terraces rising from the water ' s edge. The houses seem wrapped iu the luxu- rious greenery of the Sahel. The city consists of the French part, on the level ground, and the ancient city of the deys climbing the steep hill behind. This hill is crowned by the kasbah , or citadel, 400 feet above the sea. The old town presents a contrast to the new one. Streets are tortuous. The main one is Rue de la Kasbah, leading up to the citadel by 497 steps. The alleys here are just wide enough to pass through. The houses are little whitewashed stone squares, while shops are no more than caves in the wall. This native quarter of Arabs, Jews, and negroes, is the most interesting sight in Algiers. sai ' ARE YOUR U.A : l fr- M LV m ' :- ' aY - 1 p FTC 15lf TROOPS EMBARKED • OFFICERS Captain Verne V ROBINSON USMCR, 209-16lb Bo. „kci, llhodc Island nptain Merrill A, EDSOM .lr- l-.Ml.R, 31177 llcvclaud Avenue, Washington, II.
