She is one of the four newest fleet am- munition ships in the Navy - the AE-32 Class. This modern class of auxiliary support ship has brought an increased capability to the fleet for underway repleni shment. With her advanced design replenishment facilities, she can more effectively accomplish the rapid transfer of ammunition and other cargo to fleet units at sea. MOUNT BAKER is 564 feet in length and 81 feet in the beam. When fully loaded with 6000 tons of ord- nance cargo and 2500 tons of fuel, MOUNT BAKER displaces 19,000 tons and has a maximum draft of 28 feet. The ship is armed with four 3 50 calibre rapid fire guns in two twin mounts. MOUNT BAKER has berthing and messing accommodations for 28 officers and 375 enlisted. When deployed, a Helicopter Support Detachment and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team are embarked. This modern fleet ammunition ship is the second ship in the U.S. Navy to bear the name MOUNT BAKER. The first ship, also an ammunition ship (AE-4), took part with gallantry and honor in both the European and Pacific theaters of operation during World War II, as well as the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. She was stricken from the Naval Register in December 1969. Both the old and new MOUNT BAKER were named for one of the more recently active volcanoes in the United States. Mount Baker, a peak 10,778 feet high, is located in the Cascades Mountain Range in the State of Washington. ..- ' ■ ■ ■ . - . - : : ' T h, J I COMMANDER JOSEPH P. KEANE Commander Keane was commissioned in June of 1971 through the Officer ' s Candidate School, Newport, Rhode Island, after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland. His first assignment was Assistant Combat Information Officer of the USS TWO JIMA (LPH-2). After two Medi- terranean deployments and various division officer duties, Commander Keane was reassigned to USS NESPELEN (AOG-55) as Executive Officer and Navigator in August 1974. Upon NESPELEN ' s decommissioning in July 1975, Commander Keane attended the Naval Destroyer School, Newport, Rhode Island, in January 1976, with eventual as- signment in October 1976 as Weapons Officer of the USS ELMER MONTOGOMERY (FF-1082). He com- menced a second Departmental Head tour in October 1978 as Operations Officer of the USS CALOOSAHAT- CHEE (AO-98). In January 1980, Commander Keane was assigned to the staff, Commander-in-Chief, United States Naval Forces, Europe, in London, England, as Communications Operations Readiness Officer. Commander Keane ' s next assignment was at sea in March 1984 as Executive Officer of the USS SEATTLE (AOE-3). This was followed by assignment in November 1985 as Assistant Chief of Staff, Command, Control and Communications, on the staff of Commander, Sixth Fleet, homeported in Gaeta, Italy. Commander Keane holds the Meritorious Service and Navy Achievement Medals. Commander Keane is married to Margaret Rosemary Partridge. They have one son, Hugh, who is five. LCDR DAVID W. WOOD A native of Vinton, Iowa, LCDR Wood graduated from Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa in 1970. He joined the Navy as an Operations Specialist aboard USS SAMPSON after completing recruit training. He received his commission, as an Ensign, in 1974. After completing Supply School and Surface Warfare Officer School he reported to USS STRIBLING in 1975. He served aboard USS WAIN- WRIGHT from 1976 to 1978 and then went back to Officer Candidate School, as a staff member, from 1978 until 1981. He then served aboard USS COCHRANE from 1981 until 1983 and USS RALIEGH from 1983 until 1984. He then served as an instructor at Surface Warfare Officer School from 1984 to 1987.

VILLE CROZE OFFICIAL CEREMONIES CAFE MOUNT BAKER %£ f wmamam SPAIN ISRAEL 4. .j A %F : If A- ftf V f TURKEY STEEL BEACH AE-34 In the next few pages you will find that the old addage ' A picture is worth a thousand words ' really is true. The crew of MOUNT BAKER went many places and saw many things. They were also involved in many evolutions that required them to perform pro- fessionally in every way. In amongst the pictures of the things we did and the places that we saw you will find a description of what each division is responsible for. The individual duties are, of course, very important to each and every crewmember. The whole of the ship is what really counts and you can be sure that MED 1-88 was no different than any other and the officers and crew of MOUNT BAKER truly did ' Deliver with Class . So sit back and enjoy the same things that we did. 1 1 Sum •■• ■-—?. • , ' .-.?;l - + £ e ' _ — - 67 FIRST DIVISION First Division is manned by Boatswain ' s Mates and deck per- sonnel who are trained in UN REP and refueling details, along with the painting and preservation of the ship. UNREP , underway re- plenishment, is a detail with two ships steaming beside one another to send or receive a rig. UNREP de- tails consist of 14 people with a rig captain, the man in charge of the rig team. Riggers work directly with the cargo itself, putting on and tak- ing off the slings that hold the car- go adjustment to the highline. Al- though UNREP is a major task of First Division ' s duties, painting and preservation takes up a great deal of the division ' s work time. First Division ' s job also consists of manning the forecastle during mooring or anchoring. The pur- pose of manning the forecastle is to tend the mooring lines. After mooring lines are secured, it ' s lib- erty call. As First Division would say, First in work and first in fun, First Division steps aside for no n one. $ i-A SECOND DIVISION Second Division ' s responsibili- ties begin well before reveille and end well after taps. The men of Second Division are split into two categories: Boatswain ' s Mates and non-designated Seaman. Second Division can be looked upon as a stepping stone for the non-desig- nated Seaman. The Division gives a man a chance to look around be- fore deciding on what career direc- tion to take. For those personnel who choose the Boatswain Mate rating, Second Division provides some of the best and most diverse training available in the Deck De- partment. Second Division is re- sponsible for many areas. They in- clude taking on and delivering sup- plies and ordnance, ship ' s exterior and interior maintenance; and the operation and care of the ship ' s small boats. Second Division pro- vides liberty boats when in port, underway watches, helo crash crew teams, life boat crews, and flight deck crews. Second Division is al- ways ready to act on a moment ' s notice when called on to perform. Second Division is Second to none. 70 THIRD DIVISION Third Division, the Ordnance Cargo Division, is responsible for the ship ' s fourteen ammunition cargo holds, its two gun mounts, four ready service magazines, the armory, and small arms magazine. Third Division is also responsible for the entire cargo handling area on the main deck. Thir d Division ' s typical day starts at reveille with all hands up on deck. Work assign- ments are given out at morning quarters and then the daily routine starts. The routine generally in- volves maintenance on cargo han- dling gear, cleaning up the spaces, and moving cargo around the han- dling area. When Underway Re- plenishment details are scheduled the whole work routine changes drastically and the entire division is busy breaking out the required items to be either sent over by a rig team at one of the stations or sent over by helicopter. When MOUNT BAKER receives cargo from other ships, then Third Divi- sion is responsible for striking the ammo below decks and stowing it in the proper locations. Third Divi- sion often continues stowing am- munition well after the UN REP detail is secured and other divi- sions are doing other things. Third Division is often referred to as the Mission Impossible Team and we live up to the reputation. We are always ready and willing and always there. 73 74 STREAM DIVISION Standard Tension Replenish- ment Alongside Method. That is Stream Division, ready to CONREP at any time in any kind of weather. Stream Division consists of two sepa- rate shops, and composed of the best in the Navy: Boatswain ' s Mates, Ma- chinist Mates, Electricians, and En- ginemen. Stream Division is a group of individuals who combine to form a highly-skilled team of professionals who keep MOUNT BAKER ' S Un- derway Replenishment gear ready to go. The Division ' s work includes hy- draulic winches, tensioners, cargo weapons elevators, topping lifts, fork trucks, and hydraulic doors. When it is time to get some liberty the crew leaves the ship via Stream Division ' s accomodation ladders. A typical day in the life of a Stream mechanic is to conduct preventative and corrective maintenance on their gear. At the end of a long hard day the personnel of Stream Division can sleep easy knowing that they are always ready to go and deliver personnel and cargo with class. IfiJ .1  76 A DIVISION A Division is primarily a support division responsible for auxiliary- power sources and units onboard. The daily routine of A Division consists of getting up and being flexible. One day A Division might have problems to take care of in the galley and the next day the prob- lems might be in the laundry, scul- lery, main reefers, or just about anywhere on the ship. The person- nel of A Division never know what to expect in the morning. In addi- tion to problem solving through- out the ship, A Division is required to man up certain stations during UNREP and Flight Quarters, or during boat operations. Those sta- tions are in addition to the normal Steaming Watches in the Main En- gineering Space and standing Rov- ing Sounding and Security Patrol. When personnel from A Gang are not on watch or out problem sol- ving it is time to conduct Preven- tive maintenance on equipment throughout the ship. 77 B DIVISION A day ' s work in B Division, for the Boiler Technicians, could be anything from cleaning a deck to refueling another ship as long as it involves keeping the screw turning. Watches must be stood around the clock in the Main Engineering Space. The Machinery that B Divi- sion is responsible for must always be ready to deliver with class. When many other personnel on the ship are snuggled up in their racks you can always find the men of B Division assisting the Machin- ist Mates Keeping the screw turn- ing and the lights burning. In the Oil Lab the duty oil kings are al- ways busy. Daily reports of all fuel and water distilled, received, trans- ferred, expended, or altered in any aspect are documented. Percen- tages, distances, hours, gallons, and overall plant status is recorded in the oil lab. Through the course of any day there is fuel to be tested and moved, water chemistry to be maintained, feedwater to be kept pure and always more logs to be tilled out. u fc 78 iVir • E DIVISION E Division is separated into two work centers. One work center is composed of Electricians Mates, who are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of motors, gen- erators, power and lighting systems, and a wide variety of test equipment. The other work center is composed of Interior Communi- cations Electricians, who are re- sponsible for the upkeep and main- tenance of telephone systems, sound powered and dial, various navigational equipment, such as the gyro compasses, dead reckon- ing tracker, and the dead reckoning analyzer indicator. EM ' s and IC men also stand watches in the IC and GYRO room in order to moni- tor all the equipment that they are responsible for. The men of E Divi- sion carry out corrective mainte- nance, PMS, supply work, and all trouble calls ' that fall under their jurisdiction. The EM ' s also issue and check out portable electric tools on a daily basis. M DIVISION The personnel of M Division can be seen up at reveille and busy pre- paring for another hard day of work. After Quarters in the morn- ing, it is down to the main space where the temperatures generally range from 100 to 110 degrees. In the hole the Machinist Mates of M Division do PMS on greasing the pump couplings, cleaning the cool- ers, and inspecting internal parts of various equipment. They also mea- sure main shaft alignment and many other jobs that have close to- lerances. Sometimes machinery breaks down and they can be relied upon to repair or rebuild it. It takes a lot of work tearing down machin- ery, locating new parts, and then putting the equipment back to- gether. After all that there is the paperwork that has to be done, and that itself is no easy task. A 24 hour watch has to be maintained on the equipment and machinery in the main space to ensure that the p ro- peller keeps turning and the lights keep burning. R DIVISION From reveille to taps and be- yond, the day of an HT or DC is demanding and varied. The prob- lems found in the heads of the berthing areas are usually the first order of business. Safety and habit- ability are always the top priorities. Personnel from R Division spend hours each day tackling the pre- ventive maintenance scheduled to be done on various damage control systems throughout the ship. The damage control systems require constant attention for MOUNT BAKER to maintain its readiness posture in a high state. There is al- ways some piece of gear that needs to be mounted or a Sounding and Security watch to be stood. If it ' s not a watch or some hot work to be done you can always find the men of R Division manning up the flight deck fire fighting team. Even when there isn ' t a watch to stand there is always a lecture to be given on the ship ' s damage control systems to make sure that each and every MOUNT BAKER sailor is qualified in General Damage Control. The challenge on the MOUNT BAKER is for the HT and DC to always be there, wheth- er it is damage control or shipfit- ting. Boredom and monotony are not in the HT DC dictionary. - - ' j 1 S-l DIVISION The Storekeepers daily routine consists of processing all material requirements. This includes main- taining on-hand quantities of al- lowance items, issuing material from stock, and ordering those parts not carried on board. A stock record battery containing approxi- mately 18,000 different line items is maintained to provide material support functions related to opera- tional and maintenance require- ments for the ship. The OPTAR Storekeeper is responsible for tracking annual funds (in excess of one million dollars), and the han- dling of urgent material require- ments, ensuring receipt of critical supplies and minimizing down time to CASREPT equipment. Other functions performed by the SK ' s include maintaining an out- standing file with applicable status, packaging and mailing mandatory turn-in items, maintaining the avi- ation pack-up while deployed, and the cleanliness and upkeep of as- signed storerooms and spaces. A function unique to storekeepers on AE class ships is ammunition ad- ministration, which includes the requisitioning, receipt, and trans- fer of all conventional ammuni- tion. 8« S-2 5 DIVISION At 0400, when the typical MOUNT BAKER sailor is still asleep, the MS ' s are up and getting ready for another day ' s meals. At 0500, the galley watch is already preparing the breakfast meal, with an eye on advance preparations for lunch and dinner. At 0630 break- fast begins and the night baker ' s day ends after all the pastries are out. 1 130 comes before anyone re- alizes it and it ' s time for lunch. When the meal is over and all hands have been fed, it ' s time to start thinking about the supper meal. On any one day a multitude of things could happen from box lunches for special details to late meals and early meals during spe- cial evolutions that involve the whole ship. At 1630 when most ev- eryone else is finishing up work for the day the MS ' s are still hard at work preparing the evening meal and thinking about the meals for the next day. Then when the ship is underway there is always that late meal, called MIDRATS, for the late night watches. The job is not complete with just fixing the meals and cleaning up afterwards. There is always the piles of paperwork to be done to account for all the food and supplies. Perfection does not come easy. 90 S-3 4 DIVISION As SH ' s and DK ' s the day is spent working hard to ensure that the crew of MOUNT BAKER re- ceives the best service possible. Be- fore quarters, either the SH ' s or DK ' s hold training to help further knowledge of each of the ratings. Every day has time set aside by the Disbursing Clerks for the crew to discuss pay matters and to increase or decrease an allotment. Consis- tently throughout the day the DK ' s work preparing LES ' s and payrolls for the upcoming payday. The Ship ' s Servicemen are busy at any time operating the ship ' s retail store outlet and soda fountain. The Records Keeper and Bulk Store- room Custodian combine their skills to ensure the stores are kept well-stocked and the accounting of stores is accurate. Meanwhile, the laundry supervisor and crew are busy washing and processing the crew ' s laundry on an around the clock basis. The Ship ' s Barber util- izes his skill keeping all hands well groomed with a military haircut. If that is not enough there is also the vending machine operator making sure that the soda machines are full anytime of the day or night. •v, ' • OC DIVISION Radiomen are responsible for all of the ship ' s external communica- tions. They keep the ship abreast of what is going on throughout the world. The ship ' s schedule, assign- ments, commitments, and inten- tions are all received and sent by the radiomen. Radiomen use high- ly-sophisticated equipment to send and receive the huge volume of messages at high speeds. Many long hours are spent learning how- to operate the many different pieces of equipment because they must be able to communicate via regular voice, covered voice, teletype, computer data, and facsimile utilizing conventional means as well as satellite. Many messages handled by the radio men must be carefully screened for reli- ability and trustworthiness. Due to the quantity of messages handled and the requirement for a 24 hour watch, the radiomen usually stand a two section rotation, averaging about 84 hours a week. To be a ra- dioman, one must be willing to ac- cept the challenge of keeping up with computers and machines, while responding to calls for more circuits, and accepting the fact that he will never get caught up. The other half of OC Division is made up of Signalmen. They stand a normal workday routine with a 24 hour watch. When MOUNT BAKER is steaming with a Battle Group, they are involved in various multi-ship drills including flashing light, flaghoist, and semaphore. Signalmen are known by the pride they take in their profession. This is evident by the enthusiasm they display when sending and receiving messages during an underway re- plenishment evolution. During conditions of EMCON or radio silence, visual signaling is utilized because it is more secure. I 92 OE OI DIVISION Electronics Technicians, or ET ' s as called by the crew, are responsi- ble for maintenance and upkeep of the ship ' s radar, communications, and navigational equipment. The vital importance of these pieces of equipment have been known to keep the ET ' s working around the clock. In addition to those duties the ET ' s are responsible for ensur- ing that all personally owned elec- tronic equipment, from radios to razors, are safe for shipboard use. The Operations Specialists and Electronic Warfare Technicians of OE OI Division can be found hard at work in the Combat Informa- tion Center. Their responsibility is to collect information in order to support the bridge watchteam in the areas of operational readiness and overall safety of the ship ' s crew. They are the electronic eyes of the ship and are a double check of the ship ' s position along with the QM ' s on the bridge. The CIC Team makes recommendations to the officer of the deck on the bridge based on the information that they collect on their very sophisticated equipment. X NAV DIVISION Better known as the Executive staff, X NAV Division is a team of professionals made up of many work centers with the Executive Officer as the head. The navigation part of the Admin team consists of Quartermasters who navigate MOUNT BAKER through many miles of oceans and seas. They can be found amidst piles of charts, publications, navigational instru- ments, and oceanographic equip- ment, plotting the MOUNT BAKER ' S every move. The Ad- ministrative side of X NAV Divi- sion is made up of numerous work centers and professionals who pro- vide Service to the Crew. The ship ' s office staff of YN ' s and PN ' s can be found at the typewriter or Word Processor ensuring that all service records are up-to-date and all the ship ' s instructions are spelled out for all hands to follow. The Command Career Counselor is responsible to all members of the crew to make sure that they are happy with what they are doing. The Chie f Master At Arms keeps good order and dicipline. The Hos- pital Corpsman make sure that ev- eryone in the crew has all the medi- cal care that may be required to keep them fit and able to perform their jobs. The CCTV team keeps the crew informed via the Closed Circuit TV system and Ship ' s en- tertainment system. The ship ' s Postal Clerk makes sure that we all receive that all important letter that makes it all that easier to com- plete our daily tasks. The Chap- lain, assisted by the RP, strives to meet the religious and moral needs of the crew. •a, ■ F § ' e u 1 §£? « r. V EOD DETACHMENT The four men of Explosive Ordnance Detach- ment, Fort Story, Va., provided additional help to MOUNT BAKER ' S crew. They were readily available when diving operations were required, additional secu- rity training needed, and augmented ship ' s force to meet special tasks required by the cruise. AIR DETACHMENT The Air Detachment, from Norfolk, Va., became a vital part of MOUNT BAKER ' S crew enabling her to meet all her mis- sion requirements. The daily routine rapidly changed as the need arose. This called for great flexibility and professionalism to meet each challenge. The Air Det put MOUNT BAKER ' S motto into action, We Deliver with Class. V Boatswain ' s Mate OLYMPICS „.«.. to 103 ENLISTED SURFACE WARFARE SPECIALIST Attaining the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist desig- nation (ESWS) is a professional goal all sailors strive to possess. The MOUNT BAKER men listed on the next page attained the ESWS designation during MED 1-88.
