PIEDMONT CAD17j destroyer tender, was the first ship of this name. Following the Navy's policy of naming destroyer tenders for names of localities and areas of the United States, U.S.S. PIEDMONT CAD17j was named for the Piedmont region which lies iust east of the Appalachians in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. In 17 May 1938, she was built by the Tampa Ship Building Company, at Tampa, Florida. Her keel was laid on 1 December 1941, and she was launched on 7 December 1942. U.S.S. PIEDMONT was commissioned on 5 January 1944 with Commander Malcolm D. MacCregor, USN, assuming command as first Commanding Officer. PIEDMONT was commissioned at a time when the Navy was rapidly expanding and the personnel were as new to salt water as was the ship. To understand the magnitude of the training program, is to imagine starting a small town from scratch. PlEDMONT'S storerooms carry over 100,000 miscellaneous items ranging from thimbles to spare destroyer anchors. PlEDMONT'S sick bay contains 52 beds, an operating room, X-ray and laboratory facilities are included. Three dentists working one shift in a three chair dental clinic offer rapid and efficient dental treatment to destroyer personnel. A mere listing of the various repair shops will give an idea of the variety of skill aboard the ship, optical and watch repair, copper and pipe, electrical, radio and radar, metalsmith, blacksmith, foundry, pattern making, shipfitter, fire control, torpedo overhauling, refrigeration repair canvas photography and blueprint diving and boat engine. 1 The ship s machine shops can handle the run of iobs destroyers may submit with equipment ranging from the large 20-inch by 16 foot lathe down to machines for the most delicate work. In addition the ship has a laundry tailor shop and cobbler shop. lt has an aerological laboratory to provide forecasts and storm warnings. The ship s power plant can furnish electricity for a fair sized town. All fresh water at an average rate of 40 000 gallons per day are evaporated from sea water A post office aboard handles the ship s mall which averages five sacks outgoing and about the same incoming Nearly a million dollar money order business was handled In a year s time A large portion of that being for ships tended along side To carry out these many activities the ship has a personnel allowance of 33 officers and 900 enlisted men However with the increased demands of war time operation her total was swelled to nearly 1 500 men On 6 March with her shakedown cruise behind her PIEDMONT sailed for the Panama Canal After brief liberties at Panama she sailed on to Pearl Harbor Less than 24 hours after her arrival at Pearl Harbor PIEDMONT had taken her first Pacific Fleet destroyer alongside AD17 remained at Pearl Harbor throughout the months of April and May during the feverish perparatlons for the Marianas campaign During the month of May her crew set what was then a record in exerting a total of 110 O00 man hours on repairs to other vessels At one time PIEDMONT had seven destroyers alongside and was working on iobs for more than 50 other destroyers moored In the stream Having served her apprenticeship PIEDMONT sailed from Pearl Harbor to loin the fleet In the Marshal Islands in mid June July and August were months of great activity at Emwetok Periodically task groups from the huge Task Force 58 which was supporting the Marianas Campaign returned to Emwetok for rest replenishment and repairs Unlike her duty at Pearl Harbor all lobs were now a race aga nst the calendar and In addition shore facilities were no longer available In Pearl Harbor most underwater work was done in drydocklng by the Navy Yard but Emwetok found PIEDMONT personnel in the floating repair docks working around the clock on hull and underwater sound 'obs In September 1944 with the Central Pacific campaign virtually completed PIEDMONT sailed into the Southwest Pacific with the rest of the fleet in preparation for the Philippines campaign By early December damaged ships began returning to Manua and U S S SAUFLY CDD465j and U S S KILLEN CDD593D both severely damaged by Jap suicide planes were asssigned to PIEDMONT for repairs An examination showed KILLEN s damage was too serious to repair with forward area facilities Not to be outdone PIEDMONT s Repair department set to work and stripped U S S KILLEN SAUFLEY s hull damage extending from her weather deck davits to her third platform deck was repalrd her main battery director and radar were repaired and the ship was returned to the fleet Ready for Sea Temporary repairs made KILLEN seaworthy and SAUFLEY s damaged 5 inch gun was placed aboard as cargo She then sailed for the West Coast for permanent repairs When the results of the Leyte Gulf Battle were known the Gunnery Department received the congratulations for the rest of the ship Approximately sixty of the torpedoes fired In the Battle of Surlgao Strait had been put in condition by PIEDMONT Action reports stressed that in the battle torpedoes ran stralaht and true On the morning of 10 November while anchored in Seeadler Harbor two explosions were heard to port U S S MOUNT HOOD CAE11D lying about 3 500 yards away had blown up No trace of the MOUNT HOOD remained Between MOUNT HOOD and PIEDMONT U S S MINDANAO CARGSD was anchored and took terrible punishment from the explosion Fire and rescue parties were Immediately despatched from PIEDMONT to U S S MINDANAO and ships alongside helped with rescue operations The doctors and corpsman gave emergency treatment ln the operating room the doctors worked until the last casualty had been tended I was some time before The lnlured list dropped down to normal again .iii ' 2' tt: in EHS REE gn: T. -...1 lf?-UZ' RI!!

Those same months which witnessed the seaborne invasions of Lingayen, Iwo and Okinawa, found the Repair Department averaging more than 1000 completed iob orders and almost 100,000 man hours of work each month. In the peak period extending from 23 January to 19 February, a period of 18 days, more than 1,400 iob orders were completed, 24 separate diving operations were conducted, and 18 different ships were tended alongside. During the long, bitter weeks of the Iwo-Okinawa operations, the United States Fleet suffered more damage than at any other time in its history. U.S.S. CAVSEVOORT CDD608j, beached and abanded after being hit by a suicide plane during the Mindoro landings of November 1944, was patched, refloted, and towed to Ulithi for temporary repairs which would permit her return to the U.S. under her own power. It was found that the explosion of :HI4 boiler had completely destroyed her after engine room. Extensive damage had been inflicted upon her bilge web frames and she had been pumping 500 to 1000 gallons of water per hour in order to remain afloat. First she was dry docked, the concrete which had been used in patching her hull at Mindoro was chipped out, and metal patches were substituted. Then followed thirty days of availability alongside after which U.S.S. CAVSEVOORT returned to the States under her own power. The most badly battered of the battle damaged ships serviced by PIEDMONT at Ulthi was U.S.S. HAZAELWOOD CDD531D which came alongside on 4 May 1945. Her entire bridge superstructure was a mess of tangled wreckage, a deck forward of her stack, had been completely destroyed, extensive bomb damage extended down to her second platform, and her interior and fleet radio room had been destroyed. Numerous dead had still to be removed from the wreckage. In the 20 days that HAZELWOOD remained alongside, the following repairs were effected. The wreckage of her bridge structure was cleared away down to the leval of her main deck, and temporary patches were welded on the main deck to insure water-tight integrity. The 50 millimeter gun director platform and the after steering platform were remodelled into a Navigating bridge. A 12 search light a standard compass and 3 sound powered phones were installed. Two high frequency radio transceivers were also installed. A canvas awning was fabricated and installed over the rebuilt bridge structure as protection against the weather. Finally emergency cabling was run to 3 forty millimeter guns. All repairs effected were temporary and on 24 May HAZELWOOD sailed for the United States and a Navy Yard rebuiding. At Eniwetok, the repair department was occupied chiefly with the construction and development of fleet recreation facilities ashore in anticipation of the fleet turn-around which had been scheduled for late August. The fleet did not return to Eniwetok for the anticipated August availability as on 14 August, the Japanese government accepted Allied peace terms. On top of this electrifying news the ship received orders to prepare for getting underway. PIEDMONT had been selected from the Pacific Fleet destroyer tenders as the one to move into Tokyo Bay with the first naval units for ocupation of Jap ships. A long awaited event took place on 28 August 1945 when PIEDMONT dropped her anchor in Sagami-Wan, Honshu, Japan. Early on the 30th, she moved into Tokyo Bay and on the following day moored to the dock at the Yokosuka Naval Base. While moored at Yokosuka, PIEDMONT supplied provisions and clothing to the landing forces and to the hospital ships standing by to care for released Allied prisoners of War. So permanent a feature did the ship become in Yokosuka that the dock was named PIEDMONT pier. PIEDMONT remained in the Tokyo area supporting the occupation forces until sailing for the USA to arrive at Alameda, California on 15 March 1946. U.S.S. PIEDMONT earned the Navy Occupation Service Medal, Pacific for the periods from 2 September 1945 to 24 February 1946, from 11 June 1946 to 2 February 1947, and from 12 September 1948. r U.S.S. PIEDMONT also earned the China Service Medal for the periods from February to 30 Merch 1948, and from 16 May to 30 May 1950. When the Korean campaign began on 27 June 1950, PIEDMONT was on station in Japan carrying out her normal schedule providing tender services to ships of the 7th fleet where she remained until relieved in November. During the Korean campaign PIEDMONT completed three tours in the Western Pacific, 4 September 1950 to 27 October 1950, 1 August 1951 to 12 February 1952, 9 September 1952 to 9 March 1953 and 11 April 1954 to 27 July 1954, when she acted as flagship for Commander United Nations Blockading and Escort Force and provided tender services to ships of Canada, Columbia, New Zealand, South Korea and Thailand as well as those of the U.S. Navy. PIEDMONT earned the Korean Service Medal with four battle stars, the United Nations Service Medal, and the Korean Presidential Unit Citation for her activities during the Korean campaign. Since the end of Korean Campaign PIEDMONT has continued to carry out her assigned mission of tending destroyers, both in San Diego and the Western Pacific. In February 1956, she returned from a six month tour of duty in the Far East which included visits to the Philippines, Hong Kong, Formosa and Japan. In April, PIEDMONT sailed to Bremerton, Washington for a two Month yard period at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Upon her return in June, she became the Flagship of the Commander Cruiser-Destroyear Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. In a colorful shipboard ceremony on August 2, Rear Admiral Chester C. WOOD assumed command of Cruiser-Destroyer Force. Later, he awarded the PIEDMONT, the modified Battle Efficiency E for large tenders within the Force for the fiscal year 1956. The Flag disembarked and in November Captain James G. FRANKLIN relieved Captain Charles E. PHILLIPS as Commanding Officer. In January 1957 PIEDMONT again departed CONUS for her annual tour of duty in WESTPAC, visiting Subic Bay, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sasebo, Kobe and Yokosuka, before returning again to San Diego in August 1957. In October 1957, Rear Admiral Chester WOOD, again awarded the PIEDMONT the modified Battle Efficiency E for large tenders within the force for the fiscal year 1957. On 21 May 1958, Captain P.W. McELRATH relieved Captain James G. FRANKLIN as Commanding Officer. On 23 June 1958, PIEDMONT departed San Diego and steamed for Yokosuka, via Pearl Harbor, arriving there on 12 July and embarking Commander Destroyer Flotilla ONE to become the Flagship of Rear Admiral Horacio RIVEKO. On arrival in Yokosuka, PIEDMONT anticipated a normal tour of 6 months in that port, but when the Lebanon crisis in the Middle East erupted, these hopes were short lived. Exactly three days after arrival in Yokosuka on 15 July, PIEDMONT steamed for Subic Bay, Philippines to stand ready and alerted to participate if needed, in the Mid-east action. The ship served the Subic Bay area from 21 July to 28 August 1958, when again its services were needed to support ships and men at Kaoshiung, Formosa, head-quarters for Formosa Patrol Force. The off shore island by Ouemoy, held by the Nationalist Chinese, was under heavy bombardment by Communist Chinese artillary, in an anticipated move to retake the island. Several units of the U.S. Seventh Fleet were moved in to Kaoshuing to fore-stall this action, and PIEDMONT rendered its services around the clock to ships engaged in convoy and patrol duty in the Formosa Straits. PIEDMONT again was awarded the third consecutive Battle Efficiency E for large tenders with the force for the fiscal year 1958. PIEDMONT was relieved in WESTPAC by the U.S.S. DIXIE CAD14D on 12 January 1959, for yard overhaul in San Francisco, California. Arriving back in SanDiego 23 May 1959, she again was ready to start repairs on destroyers. Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, under the command of RADM U.S.G. SHARP embarked upon return from yard overhaul. PIEDMONT was awarded the 4th consecutive Battle Efficiency E for large tenders within the force for the fiscal year 1959, along with the Green C and Green Operations E , On 5 October 1959, Captain J. R. PAYNE relieved Captain R.W. MacELRATH as Commanding Officer, U.S.S. PIEDMONT QAD17j. On 5 January 1960, U.S.S. PIEDOMONT departed San Diego once more and steamed out of the harbor for Yokosuka, Japan, via Pearl Harbor. Arriving there on 23 January and embarking Commander Destroyer Flotilla ONE, PIEDMONT became Flagship of RADM J.W. LEVERTON. While PIEDMONT's staid in Japan, she worked on many destroyers alongside, and undertook many operations for other ships in the stream. One of the many tasks she undertook was the changing of two screws for the U.S.S. Frank S. BUCK. While in WESTPAC, PIEDMONT saw quite a few of the exotic islands that have been talked about for so long, and by so many. She visited Okinawa, Formosa, Philippine Islands, and then returned once more to Japan. Back in Yokosuka, Japan, we renewed old friendships, and for some made new ones. The PIEDMONT spent 3 months from the 3 May 1960 to 27 July 1960, making minor and maior repairs for both ships and shore. From 27 July to 14 August, PIEDMONT spent underway back to the States, via Pearl Harbor. Captain James R. Payne, USN. Captain James R. Payne, USN, was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in l938. A tour of duty in the SALT LAKE lCA-25l was followed by an assignment to the Staff, Scouting Force, U.S. Fleet. World War ll years were truly action years for Captain Payne, as he completed tours of duty in the USS RODMAN IDD- 456l as Gunnery Officer, the USS EVANS lDD-552i as the Executive Officer, the USS HAILEY lDD-556l as Commanding Officer, and the USS DANE lAPA-238i as Executive Officer. After finishing the Naval Postgraduate School, the Captain was awarded a Master Degree in Engineering from the John Hopkins University in June I949. Sea duty was resumed that same year as Operations Officer in the USS WORCESTER lCL-l44l. His next duty was Assistant Head, Surface-Launched Guided Missiles Branch in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. He was then ordered to duty as Commanding Officer of the USS MITSCHER IDL-2l. Prior to reporting for duty as Commanding Officer of the PIEDMONT, Captain Payne was Assistant Surface Weapons Systems Director in the Bureau of Ordnance. He resides in Coronado, California with his wife Kathryn and two children, James and Paul. i Z 'fs , .Y .GQ Y .K- -fs? ii Q I . ., I-4 .le.pG,..4th .fi ,, N i h A' A d1.:::., ,ik Aux .X ,:,v:.',,- , -av 'SLA in l I Commander Claude L.

This includes scheduling, planning, navigating, maneuvering-in a word-OPERATING. To get this iob done properly, we are composed of Radarmen, Quarter-masters, and Yeomen. Our spaces include the Bridge, Pilot House, Combat Information Center, Chart House, and Oper- ations Office. The RD's in ClC plot and track contacts with the use of our search radar, maintain voice radio communications with other ships and aircraft, and navigate by radar in periods of restricted visibility. The QM's in the charthouse keep the Quarter- master's Log, maintain the ship's charts, and assist the Navigator in taking sights, determining our position, and plotting our course. The YN's in the office assist the Operations Officer in the paper work involved in scheduling, planning, logging, and reporting the operations of Doc PIEDMONT. Put them together and you have the Operations team. We maintain that we can navigate old Doc any where in the world that the water is deep enough, and perform any maneuver within the material capabilities of the vessel. The next time you look out the port hole and wonder who found San Diego after so many days at sea, or the next time you see an aircraft pulling a target sleeve for us and wonder who is talking to the pilot and telling him what to do, think of us-the Operations Department.

Saderholm Laurent, C.E. Franklin, E.E. X Division is the Administrative and Clerical division of the PIEDMONT. It is comprised of the Personnel office, Captain's office, Chaplain's office, Post office, MAA force, and even an Incenerator man. Every sailor on board is, in some way, effected by the workings of each of its various sections. No other division can make that statement. Have you ever put in a special request chit? Every special request you have ever made was administered by the personnel office, your leave, your applications for schools, your transfers and exchanges of duty, your requests for medals, your applications for dependent's allotments, your ID cards, your reenlistments, the ef- ficient up-keep of your service record, and last but not by any means least, your separation from active duty. These are iust some of the iobs handled by the PN's of this office. Do you like your liberty? The YN's of the Captain's office have the respon- sibility for the issuance, distribution, and collection of all liberty cards, plus those precious overnight passes in WESTPAC. They handle Officer's records, and their leave. This office also prepares all legal work including all masts and court-martials. Do you like your mail? Sure you do. Everyone likes that letter from mom and dad, that stateside sweetheart of yours, or the wife and kids, or maybe from a good buddy. Well, your smiling X division postal clerks are always willing to oblige you as promptly as possible. Do you have problems? Then lay up to the ChapIain's office. Most of your problems can be solved right there. Do you want to go on a tour while in WESTPAC? Sign up with the chapIain's yeoman. He is also the man responsible for the preparation of Sunday morning religious services. Break any regulations lately? If so, then you have met X division's MAA lmaster-at-armsl force. These men are responsible for your adherence to all regula- tions. This then is X division, the men and the iobs. Sometimes you'll like them, sometimes not. However, they always aim to please. 4, ,, ,..:f,..,:f'.- ' - . .. x . NW, , WS fm , - X' U M4 .s V. 3' Q ,,, .. ,W Q , , -4-Q I .1 XJ i' ff,-g ..' ' I i is , 0 X P7 I .- Hall, E.M. Cronin, R.N.

McKendree Boyce, A.J. DIVISION , 1::-':7 ENS J.B. Rowe The COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT on board the PIEDMONT is one of the most important organizations in the ship. Composed of RM's, SM's and TE's they are the ones that supply us with news from home and the world outside. Every time a new division of Destroyers come along side you can bet that the Communi- cations Dept. knew of it first. When you receiveatelegram from home you can thank the RM's, the SM's blink out messages day and night on their lights, and when you look at the bridge and see all the flags flying they are not drying clothes but sending a message to another ship. Without this very important department we wouIdn't know where and when we are to go, Even when the ship is in port the COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT has a big iob to do, the Flag we carry depends greatly upon the communicators to know what and when they must issue in orders to ships under its command. The E's that the ship has depend a great deal upon Darnell, R.S. this department. 9 -fs I 'X Runnels J R Koehler D R Humbord F W Lone, L.C. Hondlon, T.A. Lowronce, D.G Schook, E.E. Ogden, G.

Gates First Division may be what you would call the most watched division on the ship. All of their cleaning stations are constantly under the eye of the Commanding Officer. The main deck area forward of frame seventy is one of the most inportant areas of the ship. Here lies the quarterdeck. Quite often the first impression made on the visitor is what he sees when he steps on the quarterdeck. The forecastle, leading the ship with her two eleven and a quarter ton anchors, is first division mustering area. On the forecastle we also have mount 51 manned by first division sailors. Also up on the front porch as it is commonly called are two small and well weathered paravane cranes, whose tired old motors have lowered many tons of chow below to storerooms and reefers. Moving one deck up we have the boat deck consisting of two life boats, movie area, the admirals and captains circle deck, and mount 52, also manned by first division sailors. Running up through all three decks is officers country, living quarters of all the officers of the ship. This space is taken care of by first division sailors, shining the various pieces of bright-work and keeping the decks buffed and shining. Last but not least we have the side-cleaners with a first division boatswain mate in charge, and sailors from both first and second division.

This division is involved in every maior evolution that takes place on board and is the one division on board that contributes the most to the ships morale-we put the liberty boats in the water. Putting the boats in the water is only one of the many responsibilities of the second division. Handling lines for tying up Destroyers alongside, providing crane service for the Repair Department for a multitude of iobs, mooring the stern to a buoy, keeping the aft half of Doc Piedmont looking sharp, running of the ships small boats, and keeping the decks and ladders squared away, are a few of the other responsibilities of this hard working division. DIIIDIIID 'I ' QQ -- CWO N. Schweers Kirkland, L. lnl The Second Division is composed of Boatswain Mates, Gunners Mates, Fire Controlmen and Seamen. While the second division is the backbone of the Piedmont, the seamen, or Deck Apes , as they call themselves, are the backbone of the 2nd division. The seamen are worked from reville to taps. They are called upon to man the quarterdeck as sideboys, report to the ship's cook as a working party, or stand by to receive Garbage Lighter on the starboard quarter. The deck ape never has an easy day, and is still able to smile through it all. This is what makes our seamen outstanding individuals. Our Gunners Mates keep the two aft gun mounts in shooting order, and the Fire Controlmen ensure that they hit the target. Again, our seamen man the guns. The Ship's Organization has our division listed as 2nd division. Drop aft and visit with us and you'll find a division second to none. Hartsook, J.R. Coflin, R.S. Faulkner, B.J. Nechanicky, J.R.

This includes the turbines, reduction gears, condensers and air eiectors. Also, such miscellaneous auxiliary equipment in the engi- neering spaces as pumps, compressors, evaporators, valves, oil purifiers, gover- nors, and propeller shafts. Throughout the ship, Machinists maintain and repair steering engines, anchor windlass, cranes, winches, galley and laundry equipment. They also keep the refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment functioning. The compressed air, ,water supply and electrical energy produc- tion are maintained by the Machinists. The destroyers, which are along side for maintenance, are also dependent on Piedmont Machinists for many of these services. Without these valuable services, work and movement of the ship would cease.

The R Division is one of the many divisions that comes under the Engineering Department. lt has perhaps the most interesting and most varied duties of any division aboard ship. Not confined to the responsibility of a few spaces, the R division works all over the ship, repairing, construction, and maintaining various equipment. It is comprised of Shipfitters and Damage Controlmen, who take care of the aches and pains of the ship. They repair anything from cracked seams in the hull, to a dripping faucet. Maintaining water tight integrity, fire fighting, and emergency equipment is one of the primary functions of the Damage Controlman, besides keeping up countless daily, weekly, und monthly reports The Shipfitters do most of the burning, welding, Gnd construction and make attempts at keeping the Heads operating- Thelr motto IS If we cant fix it-it was never broken.

Twenty-six men coordinate the identification, ordering, accounting, stowage, stock control and issue of the 60,000 items comprising the l.8 million dollar load. The storekeeper's iob is never finished. As soon as the ship returns to CONUS, the load is brought to full allowance. Loading plans are started in preparation for deployment, in addition to normal supply support for repair operations. The usage data of the past deployment is reviewed, and suggested increases in depth of high usage items and new items are requested from the customer departments. This information is analysed through stock control and coordinated with the storerooms to plan an orderly loading comm- encing 90 days before deployment. During this planning period the storeroom personnel are conducting material maintenance, inventories and restowage to accomodate anticipated new items. Following the predeployment loading, the stock is stowed and receipts posted dur- ing underway operations in order to be ready for issue when the destroyers come alongside. Overseas, resupply requisitions are submit- ted 90 days in advance of receipt based on anticipated demands. Normal supply support operations are conducted and usage data collected to aid in the next deployment. Throughout the cycle, manuals, catalogs, accounting records and correspondence are kept current on a day by day basis. Needless to say, these iobs demand Hobbs, W.F. many extra hours for all hands. However, the personal satisfaction of a job well done in service to the fleet is the desired and iust reward. Simmons, V.V. Hardy, R.D. i Watkins, H.K. T M Fields, J.E. Long, G.F. Temple, W.H.

The main function of S-2 Division is to provide the crew with three squares a day. lt is one of the most popular divisions aboard ship and why shouldn't it be, everybody likes to eat. The main part of S-2 Division is the galley. Along with the galley, we have the butcher shop, bake shop, issue room, spudlocker, Commissary Office, and many storerooms. Many hours of hard work go into the preparing of food for Doc Piedmont's crew. Every morning around five o'clock the cooks and bakers are up preparing breakfast while most of the crew are asleep. Around six that night they are finally calling it a day. Isn't it nice to be able to go on early liberty when a holiday arises, or when you have received Rope Yarn Sunday? Yes, for the rest of the crew, but the cooks and bakers are still aboard, it's iust another day for them. In order to have provisions so that the crew can eat, part of S-2 Division has to order, receive, and stow both fresh and dry provisions. Many tons of provisions have been loaded aboard the Piedmont before and since leaving San Diego. Many of the crew can recall these words, Now the 25 hand provisions working party muster with Hibdon, CSI, in the forward ship's service compartment . S-2 Division has it's iob to do, and it is well appreciated by the crew. It's a great division of hard workers and GOOD COOKS. But the Commissarymen don't comprise the whole S-2 Division, We still have the Stewards. They take care of the Warrant Officer's and Officer's staterooms, cook and serve their food. The Captain's food is prepared, served, and his cabin is kept spotlessly clean. When we speak of S-2 Division, we know not only the crew is well taken care of, but also the officers. Logan, W.B.

Highly trained for their individual iobs, more than 855 of the 34 men in the division are capable of assuming responsibility in any of the serviC9 activities. Top performance requires that the division W0fk night and day. ln some cases, 24 hour per day shifts are required, with the service man's only reward being lhe knowledge that his efforts have helped to make it possible for another squared away sailor to leave the ShlP on liberty, or to stand a good inspection.

Piedmont, under the capable guidance of Lieutenant R.P. Lucey, Medical Corps, U.S. Naval Reserve, endeavors to fulfill this mission. During the l96O cruise Medical Department personnel treated an average of 350 personnel monthly. The functions of the Medical Department are varied. The Hospital Corpsman may be seen at l8OO spraying for cockroaches on the mess deck and at i900 assisting the Medical Officer in the Operating Room. The facilities available within the Medical Department consist of an X-ray service, laboratory service, sick call service, operating room, patient's ward, administrative and clerical section, and property and accounting section. A typical morning in sick bay sees Sam Bass hunched over his microscope, Flash Pagano trying to find sick call records, Phillips and Jones treating patients in sick call, Milner busy caring for patients on the ward, Schmitt and Payne attempting to keep the supply records out of the red , and McKown looking for Quick.

Schuster LCDR F.L. Cherry The primary mission of the Repair Department is to render effective repairs, maintenance and technical advise to all destroyers assigned alongside and in the general vicinity, plus any other type ship or station which might require these services. To this end the Repair Department has highly trained technicians. Both officers and men are very familiar with all fields and types of naval machinery and equipment, which are so vital to the operation of any ship in order that it may operate properly in carrying out her assigned mission in the fleet. As you continue through this book you will see a few examples of this group of outstanding men at work in their various specialities. NON BONUM PERFEC- TlON is their motto which means NOT GOOD BUT PERFECT . G 0 0 Q A in il: A un- in I, u. Il ll qv 1, f I In U 6 CP .sim Ill 'll' IIQ 0 Q I V ' :ev CWO W.T. Morris The R-l - Hull Repair Division consists of seven metal and wood- working shops, and a canvas shop. With an average strength of approximately ninety-five men, it is one of the largest divisions of the Repair Department. The personnel of the division are artificers, which literally translated means skilled worker, mechanic, or craftsman, and it is doubtful whether a more skillful group of craftsmen can be found elsewhere in the United States Navy. With advances in tech- nology however, the normal professional qualifications of the artificer are sometimes not sufficient, but the division is fortunate in having specialist in areas other than those covered by specific rates, such as the industrial X-ray technician, heat treatment specialist, certified high pressure welder, and incidently, even a qualified safe-cracker. The primary function of the division is the repair, fabrication or installation of all metal, wood, or composite structural members of the vessels being tended. A typical iob may involve the repair of a damaged section of ventilation duct, the replacement of a deteriorated machinery foundation, renewal of a portion of hull plate, or the replanking of a stove-in boat. Still another type of iob might entail the construction and installation of an entirely new piece of equip- ment, or perhaps a new piping system, authorized by the Bureau. Since the service of the Department is not limited to Destroyer types, and since no iob is too large or too small, the division is faced with a variety of tasks which challenge the imagination and ingenuity of each member. That they measure up to these tasks there can be no doubt, as a review of past performance and records will indicate. The members of the R-l Division also serve in another very vital capacity which cannot be overlooked. By virtue of their various trades, training, and experience, these men are assigned billets in Damage Control Repair Parties, which are as important in peace time as in war. Nygaard, R.L. Adams, E.J.

The Piedmont's Dependent Cruise started off with a Iiffl e trouble. One of her boats broke down and it took quite a while for most of the dependents to arrive on board. Finally, qffer patiently waiting, the Piedmont got underway and our cruise started, lt wasn't a very long trip, but to most of the dependents, it was a trip filled with excitment and fun, a trip they won't forget for quite a while. There were many things about shipboard life to see and take part in. Tours of the ship were conducted with Chief Petty Officers as guides while the Piedmont steamed out to Coronado Roads and back. A wonderful dinner consisting of Roast Beef with all the trimmings was served the crew and their dependents. The dependents also had entertainment on their cruise, for we had the Cru Des Pac Band aboard. They played many popular numbers along with some old classics. For the kiddies we had a special treat, a movie on cartoons that was shown in the after mess hall. Many of the dependents, especially the little children and a few mothers couldn't take the rough seas and became a little sea sick. But they were well taken care of. It was a fine trip and we are sure it was thoroughly enioyed by all who were aboard. Also, it showed them a bit of the Navy way of life while at sea.

TARAWA which he was serving in. The clothing wml distributed among l60,000 refugees there because of the Chinese Comb munist forces. l Since that time other drives were made and the collections of clothingrl etc. were delivered to refugees throughout the Far East by U,3. Nuvwl ships and through the untiring efforts of the few missionaries in thosl areas. l When Capt. PAYNE received word that there were goods availoblethul the PIEDMONT could deliver he assigned LTJG SCHUSTER as coordinutol and authorized him to take as much goods as space available woulf permit. Through the coordinated efforts of CDR HANSON and Ulf SCHUSTER delivery was made to the ship and with the excellent hell of PIEDMONT personnel in the form of working parties the followingl approximate tonnage was stowed on board to be delivered in lapel and Hong Kong: Seven hundred forty pounds of multi-purposefoorl each weighing 33 lbs., equaling 24,220 lbs.. Most of the goods werl offloaded in Yokosuka, Japan for further transfer to the typhoonstrilcerl people in the Nagoya area. The rest was delivered in Hong Kong fo' the refugees there. lt was deemed a great privilege for this ship to render its survaces for this cause and to some way be a part of the fight in the COLD WAR. l l Off loading Hong Kong , , , I x + , f , , .

KEELUNG, on the northern tip of Taiwan lFormosal, first named Livadel was founded by Spaniards in 1626. Sixteen years later the Dutch drove the Spanish out and occupied the city. ln 1660, the Chinese drove out the Dutch and integrated Taiwan lFormosal into the Chinese Empire. Since that time there has been a constant migration of Chinese to the island. ln 1895, under the Treaty of Shimonoseki which ended the Sino-Japanese war, the Chinese were required to cede the island to Japan. The Japanese, although they treated the Taiwanese as inferiors and exploited them, did much to develop the island. The administration of the island was so successful that soon it was known as the Jewel of the Orient. The rule of the Japanese over Taiwan ended when Japan surrendered at the end of World War ll. Taiwan was given back to China as a result of the Potsdam conferences. ln 1949, the government of the Republic of China closed all the mainland seaports and established their capital in Taipei. Taiwan is an island about 235 miles long and from 70 to 90 miles wide. It is separated from the Chinese mainland by a strait varying in width from 90 to 220 miles. The port and city of Keelung is located on the northern coast. Temple of Confucius! GRASS MOUNTAIN Taipei os seen from top of Gross Mountain! R ' d ' ! . Gm an more mm Leaving Temple of Confucius!

Triebel, USN, Amphibious Task Force Commander and Lieutenant General Thomas A. Wornham, USMC, Landing Force Com- mander. The purpose of BLUE STAR was to provide training in Navy- Marine Corps doctrine and techniques of amphibiousloperations and promote a close working relationship and understanding between the forces involved. Approximately T30 ships, 450 aircraft and 50,000 men, were involved in the exercise. This assemblage includes naval surface and air units, the Marine Corps air-ground team of the Seventh Fleet, and Navy, Marine Corps, and Air force units of the Republic of China. Exercise activity commenced on l0 March with the loading of troops and equipment into ships of the task force. While enroute to the obiective area in Southern Taiwan during the period T7-20 March, the task force was opposed by a series of realistic mock attacks by aircraft, surface units and submarines of the exercise play Aggressor force. Upon arrival at the obiective area, a rehearsal was conducted, followed by an air and shore bombardment exercise. On D-Day 22 March, Marine troops stormed ashore in landing craft and helicopters to seize and hold designated obiectives. Operations ashore continued until 27 March when backloading commenced in preperation for de- parture. Units arrived at their home ports or bases about 7 April when the exercise was officially concluded. ,.i--W...

Large-scale construction work in the development of the harbor was not started, however, untill l908. By 1920, Kaohsiung became one of fhe two most important ports, and the largest harbor on the island. During 'World War ll, the Japanese used this harbor as the main naval and supply base for staging their military advances to the south and southwegf, Consequently, it was one of the key air targets for allied bombers, and the city suffered heavy destruction. ,Following V-J Day, rehabilitation and reconstruction work was strenously pushed. As a result of these eftorts, the present condition ot the harbor equulg or even surpasses its peak during Japanese occupation. Located in Tsoying, seven miles north of Kaohsiung, are the Headquarters of the Chinese Nationalist Navy and Marine Corps. V Kaohsiung is the second most important seaport in Taiwan. The city of Kaohsiung is situated in the southern part of Taiwan 325 miles east ot Hong Kong and 552 miles north of Manila.

Leaving Kaohsiung HGNG KUNG The history of Hong Kong is far longer than that of the Colony itself and begins more than 400 years ago when the first Europeans were attempting to penetrate China for trade purposes. The Portuguese traders were the first in the area. They arrived on the China Coast in 1513, and, by dine of persistent pressure, managed to obtain an establishment at Macao in 1557 through which they might trade with China. When British and Dutch traders followed the Portuguese, in the first decade of the 17th Century, they found that the Chinese refused to have any dealings with Europeans other than the Portuguese. It was not until 1700 that British trade with China was established as a result of a change in Chinese Policy. During the negotiations between the British Plenipotentiary and the representative of the Chinese Emperor following the Opium War of 1939-42, the island of Hong Kong was offered to British traders as a depot. The offer was accepted and the island was occupied by the British in January 1841 without waiting for formal ratification of the offer. The cession of the island was confirmed in the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 and Hong Kong was from the start established as a free port, open to all. Kowloon and the small Stonecutter's Island were ceded to Britain in 1860 by the Convention of Peking and, in 1898, the area known as the New Territories was leased to Britain for a period of 99 years. During its earliest years, Hong Kong was not highly regarded by the British public. It had an unenviable reputation for disease, typhoon, pirates and other inconveniences. The name itself is thought to be derived from Anglicization of the Chinese name meaning Heung's Harbor, the haunt of a notorious character named Heung. The Government of Hong Kong derives its authority from letters Patent and Royal Instructions issued from London. It is governed by a governor assisted by an executive council and a legislative council. The executive council, which is consulted by The governor on all important matters, is made up of the senior military, the attorney general, the secretary of Chinese affairs, the financial secretary official and six unofficial members, and such others as may be appointed. These other officers are six official and six unofficial members, three of whom are Chinese and one of whom is Portuguese. The British Crown Colony of Hong Kong comprises an area of approximately 391 square miles and includes the Island of Hong Kong and a section of the mainland which is divided between Kowloon and the New or leased Territories. Numerous uninhabited islands are also included in the New Territories. The principal busines area is located on the island of Hong Kong and is officially known as the City of Victoria although is generally referred to as Hong Kong . Hong Kong Island is eleven miles long and varies in width from two to five miles. It rises steeply from the northern shore to a range of rugged hills, the highest point of which is 1,823 feet. The city of Victoria lies between these hills and the northern water front, and the urban area consists largely of reclaimed land. Numerous bays and inlets, as well as subtropical vegetation, make Hong Kong Island a place of great scenic beauty. The harbor itself is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. The City of Kowloon lies across the harbor from Victoria, a distance of about one mile. The Kowloon Peninsula is fairly flat and is divided from the New Territories by a range of hills. There is a shopping center in Kowloon and a large Suburban-type residential section where some American families have their homes. The passenger ferry services between the island and the mainland is excellent, except at rush hours when it is very crowded and compares with condition of the New York Subway at similar times. There is an automobile ferry service across the harbor. On weekends and holidays, the vehicular FSVVY is very crowded and a delay of two hours is not unusual. f School girls wfgtl Parisian restaurant, Hong Kong style Water boy! Junk!

Ferdinand Magellan, a Portoguese navigator in the servis of Spain, landed in the Philippines on 16 March 1521. When the Spanish came, contrary to popular belief, acomparatively advanced culture already existed in the Philippines. The majority of of the people lived in independent settlements or Barangays were united to form a federation. The laws under which they lived were largely traditional but as early as 1433, or 88 years previous to the arrival of Magellan, there existed a penal code. Colonization was not begun by the Spanish untill 1565 when Miguel Lopez de Legaspi took possession of the islands. He was the first civil governor of the Philippines, named in honor of Philip Il of Spain. The Spanish occupation greatly changed the spiritual life of the Philippines. Under Spanish rule, the Catholic Church converted a relatively large portion of the population to Christianity, although many old superstitutions and much native culture continued to. exist under a thin veneer of western civilization. War and uprisings, in which the perennial struggle for power between the church and the state was often involved, charac- terized the history of the islands from the beginning of Spanish rule to the American occupation. A revolution had broken out iust prior to Admiral Dewey's capture of Manila. In the Treaty of Paris, Spain ceded the islands to the United States. The revolutionary Philippine government, headed by Emilio Aquinaldo, protested that Spain had no right to cede the islands because their control had passed from her hands to the insurgents. Resistance ended with the capture of Aquinaldo, beginning the benevolent and progressive American period in the islands. g ,J On 15 November 1935 the Commonwealth Government was established with Manuel L. Quezon and Lerquio Osmena as 'president and vice-president. The capture of Manila by the Japanese on 2 January 1942 forced the government into exile in America where Quezon died of tuberculosis. Three years later, with the liberation of Manila by Allied Forces under General Douglas Mac Arthur aided by thousands of Filipino guerrillas, the Commonwealth Government was restored on 27 February 1945- Although Manile l'lClCl been declared Un Open Cify by United States Forces, its liberation was bitterly contested by the JapaneSe and the resultant damage WGS eX'f emelY Severe. During the Japanese occupation .thousands of Filipino non-com-batants were murdered, agriculture and other industries were devastated and public and private buildings were wantonly destroyed. On 4 July 1946, in accordance with the provisions of an agreement made with the United States, the Philippines proclaimed their lndePenCl0f1Ce- M0nUel ROXCS Gnd Elpidio QUiI'ir1O were inaugurated as president and vice-president. In the years sinCe 1946, the Philippine Republic has struggled against an organization of dissidents commonly known as the Huks or the HMB - The organization was started in March 1942 under the name of Hukbalahaps QThe People's Army to Fight Japanj. During the war, the Huks were active against the Japanese and to a lesser extent, against other Filipino guerrilla units. Following the liberation of the Philippines, the HUkS did U07 C0mPleTelY disband or turn in their arms. At the end of 1949, the name of the Huks was changed, to the l'lUkl00n9 M0PGqP0l0n9 BUYGTII' CPeople's Liberation Armyj from which comes the common abbreviation HMB. Since that time the Huks, in tune with world Communism, have advocated the overthrow of the Philippine Government and the assumption of power bY P0PUl9f elemenis- HOWSVGF, during the recent years an understanding overnment has undertaken 9 ,the rehabilitation of many ex-dissidents who have indicated their desire to return to peaceful and useful lives. The Huk situatiefl is definitely improving, but danger of ambush and harassing action still exist in the outlying areas in Central Luzon. 'T 1f Getting Straw ready to make mats!
