PGRTERFIELD 41,434 Ship's History The USS PORTERFIELD was launched at Bethlehem Steel Company's shipyard, Terminal Island, California, in June of 1943. On October 30th of the same year the ship was commissioned at San Pedro, California. The PORTER- FIELD, a Fletcher-class destroyer, was named in honor of Rear Admiral Lewis Broughton Porterfield. After her Shakedown cruise the PORTERFIELD sailed westward in mid-January of 1944. From that date until her return to the U. S. in July of 1945 she operated with Task Forces 53 and 58 and with various amphibious groups. The ship earned ten battle stars for her operations in the Marshall Islands, New Guinea, Truk, Saipan, Guam, the Philippines and Okinawa. She received credit for the destruction of 16 enemy aircraft and one surface ship. In September of 194-5 the PORTERFIELD was decom- missioned and placed in mothballs at Long Beach, California. The breakout of fighting in Korea found the need for moreglactive Navy vessels and on Z7 April 1951 the PORTER- FIELD was re-commissioned at the U. S. Naval Station in Long Beach. After fleet training in and around San Diego she got under way as a part of Destroyer Division 171 for her first tour of duty in the Far East in late July of 1951. During this cruise while off the east coast of Korea she was slightly damaged by an enemy shore battery. No one was injured. In early March of 1952 she returned to San Diego and proceeded on to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco for an annual upkeep period of three months. The PORTERFIELD returned to San Diego in June and for the next three months participated in a variety of exercises in that' area. This Cruise On the 4th of October, 1952, in company with DesDiv 171, the PORTERFIELD got under way for her second tour of duty in the Far East in a year and a half. After brief, but pleasant, stops in Pearl Harbor and Midway the ship arrived in Yokosuka, japan, the last week in October. Into the wind and out of the wind with Task Force 77 was the initial assignment, followed by anti-submarine exercises fand typhoon runningj at Okinawa and on our way to Yokosuka. From there the ship headed for Sasebo, taking time out on the trip to act as a lifeguard ship along the line of President- elect Eisenhowerls historic plane flight to Korea. Following our upkeep in Sasebo the PORTERFIELD joined Task ,Group 95.1 in early December on the west coast of Korea. For a month The Mighty P stood plane guard positions and patrolled in the cold Yellow Sea. Here the crew spent both Christmas and the New Year. The next assignment, in mid-January, was patrol duty in the Formosan Straits. This was highlighted by a three-day visit to Hong Kong. After that a week of patrol was followed by a week at Kaohsiung, Formosa, where the PORTER- FIELD acted as station ship. The northbound trip from Formosa to Yokosuka included ASW exercises around Okinawa. Following a short, but en- joyable, two weeks upkeep the ship again reported to Task Force 77. Except for a short upkeep in Sasebo the last of March the PORTERFIELD remained with the carriers and conducted occasional shore bombardment missions until her departure for the States on April 18th. The second cruise came to an end the 6th of May when the ship arrived home in San Diego and tied up at the Naval Station, having steamed about 55,000 miles in seven months. 3 4 1 Cmmanding Officef ' Our CioimmandingiiOfficer, Commander William S. Brad+ way, jr., was born in 1914 in Gloucester City, eNew jersey. Upon graduation fromthe University of Pennsylvania, where he .participated in track and football, ,he entered the Navy in 1940, as an Apprentice Seaman. The following year he received his reserve commission as,Ensign. During the Second World War he 'served aboard- the battleships West, Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, and the destroyer Hobby. His first command was the JUS-S GOSSELIN QAPDIZCJJSI in 1948. He served in that capacityfor ayear before going on the staff of iComPhibTraPac. A In June of 1952 Commander Bradway became skipper of the PORTERFIELD. 4 'H ' s Executive Officer The PORTERFIELD's Executive,0fficer during the ship's two cruises in the Far East was Commander Fred F. 'fMoon Mullins, Jr., a native of Helana, Alabama. , ,, Commander Mullins was commissioned an ensign in 1941 after having attended Howard College in Alabama for three years and enlisting in the navy as an apprentice Seaman. His first duty was on the fleet oiler USS CUYANA. In 1943, he became executive officer of another oiler, the USQS WHIP- PET, and thefnext year was appointed commanding 'officer of the same ship. Before going into' the inactive reserve in 1946 he was CO of the aviation supply ship USS SUPPLY. He returned to the University of Alabama and received his degree in 1948 and returned to active duty as inspector- instructor of the Naval Reserve facilities in Birmingham, Ala. - 1 f , Commander Mullins was assigned as executive officer of the PORTERFIELD in 1951 when the ship wasrecom- missioned. In February of 1953 he was -promoted to com- mander. Just prior to the arrival of thevship in the States he was relieved by Lt. W. B. Hayer.

I REAR ADMIRAL GINGRVICH Rear Admiral Gingrich In early January the PORTER- FIELD proceeded to Inchon, Korea, where Rear Admiral John E Ging- rich, Commander Task Force 95 embarked for a short tour of certain islands off the west coast of Korea. The admiral was then returned to Inchon where he shifted his flag to the battleship USS IVIISSOURI. ! I6 VISITORS Charlie Washington A personality that will long be remembered by the men of the PORTERFIELD is Charlie Washington, a 72-year-old inhabi- tant of the Bonin Islands, which are some 100 miles north' of Iwo Jima. He witnessed the raising of the American flag over his home by Com- modore Perry. His ancestors were Scottish and Polynesian and he speaks with a definite English accent. Spry old Charlie will best be re- membered for his fabulous sea stories, especially by those inhabitants of the chief's quarters. Ensign Chai Po Hee ROKN Ensign Hee was- born in. -the Korean calendar year 4264, or Janu- ary 1931 of our calendar. In 1949, after high school, he began his studies at the Korean Naval Academy at Chinhae, Korea. He graduated from the academy and received his com- mission in 1952. He then embarked on the training ship USS NAIFEH CDE352D for duty. In late November of 1952 he joined the PORTERFIELD and served with her until just before she left for the States in April of 1953. He acted as interpreter and was under instruction in the Engineering Department. CHARLIE WASHINGTON ENSIGN CHAI D0 HEE ROKN H CHAPLAIN ASHCRAFT Chaplain Ashcraft The Chaplain for Destroyer Squadron 17, LTJG M. Ash- craft, spent about two months aboard the PORTERFIELD during her second Far Eastern cruise. He traveled from the States to Yokosuka with the ship in October and came aboard in Sasebo in April for the trip home. Hue conducted Protestant religious services and pro- vided a counsul forthe .members of the crew at all times. - This Arkansan and former Navy pilot also had a real part in planning the Happy Hours which helped to pass the time and provide good home-grown entertainment aboard the ship. . GUNNER'S MATES GUNNERY DEPARTMENT The Gunnery Department is divided into the First and Second Divisions. These in turn are composed of deck force personnel, gunner's mates, fire controlmen, sonarmen and torpedomen. The deck force is responsible for the general upkeep of the hull and ship's boats. They also form the nucleus for all seamanship evolutions such as anchoring, mooring and replenishment at sea. The gunner's mates are responsible for the maintenance of all the guns on board, plus the magazines and the ammunition. It is the job of the fire controlmen to solve the gunnery problem so as to keep the guns on target. They also maintain the electrical and electronics equipment associated with the ship,s guns. In addition to taking care of the torpedo tubes, torpedoes and associated equipment, the torpedo- men also have cognizance over anti-submarine Warfare ordnance - hedge hogs and depth charges. Sonarmen, who were recently transferred from the Gperations Department, are a vital link in the team Work that permitted the PORTER- FIELD to perform her most important task, that of detection, attack and destruction of enemy submarines. D DECK FORCE FORWARD FUELING STATION FIRE CONTROLMEN-PLOT FIRE CONTROLMEN-MAIN BATTERY DIRECTOR TORPEDOMEN The Engineering Department is responsible for propelling the ship through the water, providing elec- trical power and fresh water, maintenance of auxiliary equipment, damage control, heating, ventilation and piping systems, motors in the ship's boats, and all repairs, whether accomplished by the ship's crew, tender or shipyard. For organizational purposes the de- partment is divided into the E and R Divisions. The E Division is composed of boilermen and machinists mates under the direction of the engineer- ing officer. They keep the ship moving through operation of the boilers and steam turbines and asso-R ciated equipment. They also operatethe evaporators which supply the ship With fresh Water for the boilers and all hands. Working With division is the log room yeoman who keeps all records for the department, and the oil king whose job it is to keep the fuel evenly distributed, together with salt Water ballast to main- tain the ship's trim. The R , or repair division is divided into three basic groups: electrical, repair and auxiliary. The first group comprises electricians and IC electricians Who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of all electrical equipment, the gyro compass, internal com- munications and obtaining and showing movies. Repair consists of men of the damage control, pipefitter and metalsmith rates. These men make all minor alterations and hull repairs, and operate and maintain the gear used in con- trolling damage which may occur in battle or through accident. The auxiliary group are the enginemen Who repair andfor operate all auxiliary equipment including boat engines, heating and ventilation gear and the machine shop. The RH Division as a Whole forms the core of the repair parties which are manned when the ship goes to general quarters. f l ' FORWARD ENGINE Room 1.8 D GI EERING LZZZZZL v-.1 2 A Pm 1 r g D :ka . f.

MACHINE SHOP FORWARD ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION BOARD The Operations Department has the general re- sponsibility for: navigation, collection, evaluation and dissemination of operational and intelligence informa- tion, operation of external communications, operation of air, surface and submarine, detection gear, and the maintenance of all electronic gear required for the above activities. To accomplish these tasks the following groups have been established: - ,A The radiomen, under the communications officer, send and .receive shortwave QCWD dispatches and handle the internal routing of all. messages to the officers concerned. They also, along with the teleman who doubles as mail clerk, .operate the teletype, source of High Seas 'Highlightsh the ship's newspaper. The quartermaster signalmen handle all visual communica- tions, such as flashing light, flag hoists and semaphore. Quartermasters who are assigned to the navigator, aid in maintaining a ship's log notebook, take naviga- tional bearings and correct various charts and publications. . Radarmen, who work in Combat Information Center QCIC7, operate the air and surface radars to search for, report and track- contacts. The majority of voice radio circuits are handledhere as well as-logs of all voice radio- transmissions. As an aid to the Officer. of the Deck and Navigator, a navigational plot is maintained. The maintenance of search radars and radios is the responsibility of the Electronics Technicians as directed by the electronics officer. Ship's office yeomen, under the ship's secretary, are responsible to the Execu- tive Qfficer for the handling of all official correspondence and maintain all personnel records other than disbursing and health.
