I lies, multi-mission ships were specifically designed to meet die increasing, diverse demands imposed on the U.S. Navy by high technology. Just as the hue Vice Admiral Frederick Moosbrugger (fur whom die ship is named) distinguished himself as a great leader in die Pacific C ' ampaign of World War II. USS MOOSBRUGGER is a leader in the fleet, having excelled in a myriad of combat and peacetime evolutions. Designed and built in 1975 hy Ingall ' s Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries in Pasi agotda. Mississippi. MOOSBRUGGER is a member of the first major class of U.S. Navy ships to be powered hy gas turbine engines and generators. Four General Electric LM-2500 engines, marine versions of those used on commercial DC- 10 and USAF C-5A cargo transport aircraft, drive twin shafts to produce a total of 80,000 HP and producing speeds in excess of 30 knots. A unique degree reversible pitch propellers and an integrated throttle mechanism allowing MOOSBRUGGER an unparalleled response among warships her size (roughly 9,000 tons or the equivalent of a WW-ll cruiser). Capable of operating independently or in the company of Amphibious Assault. Battleship Surface Action Group, or Aircraft Carrier Task Forces. MOOSBRUGGER is a highly versatile multi-mission Destroyer. However, due to her unique Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sensor and weapons suite, the ship s primary mission is to operate offen siveh in an ASW role. Employing the AN SQQ-89 integrated ASW system, comprised of the AN SQR- I 9 tactical Towed Array System ( TACTAS). AN SQR-53B Hull Mounted Sonar, and AN SQQ-28 Acoustic Processor. MOOSBRUGGER has earned an unprecedented eight consecutive ASW mission area awards. Integrated into the Navy Tactical Data System (NTDSl to provide quick reaction in combat, MOOSBRUGGER ' s combat systems can counter air. surface, and subsurface threats, including the invisible electronic warfare threat.

Two triple-barrel torpedo tubes and the eight cell Anti-Submarine Rocket (ASROC) launcher consummate the ASW engagement. Two over-the-horizon capability against enemy surface craft. One eight cell Anti-Air NATO Sea Sparrow Missile System (NSSMS) and two Close-In Weapons Systems (CIWSi provide medium and close-in range ownslup protection against enemy aircraft and missile threats. In addition. MOOSBRUGGER is able to employ the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) MK-IU Sikorsky helicopter. Though supportive of several shipboard operations. LAMPS III is most often used in an ASW role. While built for maximum combat effectiveness, MOOSBRUGGER ' s crew comfort and hahitabilitv are also an integral part of her design. The crew enjoys Spacious berthing compartments, a ship ' s liberty, a lounge, and a gymnasium. The high degree of automation in MOOSBRUGGER ' s weapons and engineering systems allows for reduced manning requirements.

V TANDING NAVAL FORCES ATLANTIC, also know as STANAVFORLANT or SNFL, is composed of many ships, each representing a different country. Some ships, serving from countries such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the Federal Republic of Germany, contribute on a permanent basis, serving with the force for up to six months. Other countries provide regularly for limited periods, such as Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Denmark. The Force Commander is provided by one of the permanent contributors. This Force, usually made up of five to nine ships, works together to improve seagoing techniques through practice of ships ' operations and personnel exchanges. This helps create a bond of international fellowship and builds upon already good relations be- tween these countries. Under the NATO flag, STANAFORLANT embarks yearly on an intense and varied schedule. As a permanent, multi-nation squadron, it conducts peacetime exercises over the 50,000 miles it travels yearly. It also participates in NATO ' s scheduled activities; from naval exercises to visits in coastal ports of NATO nations. These exercises and visits help STANAVFORLANT achieve it ' s main goals: to improve multinational teamwork through training and expe- rience; to demonstrate the unity of the Alliance, and the NATO flag; to strengthen it ' s capabilities as an immediate reaction force; and to form a central core through which a more powerful Navy may be built. STANVFORLANT has been an effective training program and a nucleus of unity for the last twenty-five years. As was the case when it was approved by the North Atlantic Council in December 1967, making it the world ' s first force of its type, today SNFL brings the world closer together, ensuring protection when necessary. i- 13 WARDROOM ifV.i in If jfe. -. y f.

Just as the late Vice Admiral Frederick Moosbrugger (for whom the ship is named) distinguished himself in the Pacific Campaign of World War II, USS MOOSBRUGGER is a leader in the fleet, having excelled in a myriad of combat and peacetime evolutions. Designed and built in 1975 by lngall ' s Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries in Pascaguola, Mississippi, MOOSBRUGGER is a member of the first major class of U.S. Navy ships to be powered by gas turbine engines and generators. Four General Electric LM-2500 engines, marine version of those used in commercial DC-10 and USAF C-5A cargo transport aircraft, drive twin shafts to produce a total of 80, 000 HP and producing speeds in excess of 30 knots, owing to her reputation as a GREYHOUND OF THE FLEET. (As a note, this is more than twice the power produced by the S.S. TITANIC). A unique degree of maneuverability is obtained through the use of mechanism allowing MOOSBRUGGER an unparalleled response among warships her size (roughly 9,000 tons or the equivalent of a WW-II cruiser). Capable of operating independently or in the company of Amphibious Assault Forces, Battleship Surface Action Groups, or Aircraft Carrier Task Forces, MOOSBRUGGER is a highly versatile multi-mission Destroyer. However, due to her unique Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sensor and weapons suite, the ship ' s primary mission is to operate offensively in an ASW role. Employing theAN SQQ-89 integrated ASW system, comprised of the AN SQR-19 Tactical Towed Array System (TACTAS), AN SQR-53B Hull Mounted Sonar, andAN SQQ- 28 Acoustic Processor, MOOSBRUGGER has earned an unprecedented eight consecutive ASW mission area awards ™ Integrated into the Navy TacticalData System (NTDS) to provide quick reaction in combat, MOOS BR UGGER ' s combat systems can counter air, surface, and subsurface threats, including the invisible electronic warfare threat. The MK-86 Gun Fire Control System uses a high-speed digital computer to direct two light-weight 5-inch gun mounts capable of firing 40 rounds per minute -- all under computer control. Two triple-barrel torpedo tubes and the eight cell Anti-Submarine Rocket (ASROC) launcher consummate the ASW engagement. Two quad Harpoon Anti-Ship Cruise Missile launchers provide a long-range, over-the-horizon capability against enemy surface craft. One Close-in Weapons System (CIWS) provide medium and close-in range ownship protection against enemy aircraft and missile threats. In addition, MOOSBRUGGER is able to employ the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) MK-IH Sikorsky helicopter. Though supportive of several shipboard opera- tions, LAMPS III is most often used in an AWS role. While built for maximum combat effectiveness, MOOSBRUGGER ' s crew comfort and habitability are also an integral part of her design. The crew enjoys spacious berthing compartments, a ship ' s library, a lounge, and a gymnasium. The high degree of automation in MOOSBRUGGER ' s weapons and engineering systems allows for reduced manning requirements. Comparatively speaking, a WW-II cruiser of similar displacement had a crew of 500, whereas MOOSBRUGGER is manned by 24 Officers, and 300 enlisted men. A veteran of Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada), the Multi-National Peace Keeping Force in Lebanon, Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and Counter Narcotics Operations, MOOSBRUGGER has been awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (with Bronze Service Star), the Navy Commendation, the Southwest Asia Service Medal (with two Bronze Servic e Stars), the National Defense Service Medal, a Meritorious Unit Commendation, and the Liberation of Kuwait Medal. MOOSBRUGGER is homeported in Charleston, SC, and is assigned to Cruiser-Destroyer Group EIGHT as a unit of Destroyer Squadron FOUR. But most importantly and proudly, MOOSBRUGGER has a worldwide reputation for excellence. MOOSBRUGGER takes pride in being ready to answer the call for duty and provide MORE THAN REQUIRED. Without challenge, MOOSBRUGGER is HEAD AND ANTLERS above the rest. VU nvu rtb fHtbU s b ii g (tmtfxmy Minxluic. Mmoun  465« USA Bury Brown. Jmt Offict. Sunt 201 Norfolk.
