For those lucky enough to get away for a few days there was the chance to do their own Jungle Cruise shooting the rapids of some primeval wilder- ness river or touring the streets and shops of llllanila.

KAO HSIUNG Kao hsiung was an unexpectedly en- joyable port and a welcome relief after avoiding several typhoons to get there . On first appearance, Taiwan was a lot like a lot of places twat we had been but the friendliness of the people and their eager- ness to try to help came through the language and culture barriers . Folks look- ing for bargains stocked up on the ridicu- lously inexpensive books, records and tapes before participating in a joint U .S .- Taiwan Naval Exercise. CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Taiwan seemed just a bit more intimate than most places. Back-street marketplaces like this one abound. A temple situated on a low hill is close to the center of town.

Route ln the old days, a favorite passtime of some outside this department was to joke about the intel- ligence of its members, remarking that the divisions had to be numbered for ease of remembrance . These remarks were normally made at a safe distance from these ninety men . Traditionally, Weapons men have been the sailors who surpass all others in the art of seamanship. Nowadays, First Division, consisting of Botswain's lVIates and deck seamen, perform the deck evolutions assisted by Second Division and Third Division for larger operations . Second Divi- sion men are responsible for the ship's firepower, The Gunners lVlates and FT's man the five inch gun, BPDSIVIS launcher, the directors, and Gun Plot, Third Division is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the anti-submarine warfare systems. ASW is ROARK's primary mission . During the cruise these men were awarded a gunnery and missile E as well as an ASW AH for prolonged performance in their areas .

LT Thomas W. Coward Engineering is the largest department on the ship for good reason. With eighty-five men the de- Eartment is expected to ensure that ROARK and all er comfplex weapons and sensors can get to sea and per orm however and whenever required . In addition, the Enginemen and Machinist Mates of A Gang must maintain the auxiliary systems . The Electricians and ICmen take care of the electrical systems for the ship, weapons systems and indica- tors . Hull Technicians run the all important damage control program and perform industrial work. The meat and potatoes Cnot necessarily in that orderl of the propulsion plant are the BT's, who provide the steam, and the M division Machinist Mates, who make the screw go 'round. Throughout the cruise ROARK earned a reputa- tion as a can do ship in Seventh Fleet much as a result of the hard work of Lieutenant Tom Coward and his snipes.

Their task is to fulfill all material needs of the ship from repair parts to office supplies feed and pay the crew and provide various hotel services .

Lieutenant Cjgl Tom Stanley wears the three hats of department head, N and I division officer. N Division consists of the Quartermasters, whose job it is to maintain the ship's navigational plot. I Division acts as a catchall and includes the Yeomen, Personnelmen, Postal Clerks, Hos- pitalmen, and IVIaster-at-Arms. These men are responsible for administration, all-important mail service, health care, and security. Although no individual awards are given out for the services these men provide, the very nature of their jobs brought them close to the other members of the crew. -5?

Some men worried about their wives being able to handle the household, others worried about their kids in school but everybody missed their families. The ROARK wives, an informal organization of those left behind, did their best to cope with the separation and make the time go by. In addition to some pre-deployment sessions with a psychologist who specializes in the strains of separation, the women planned at least one activity per month. Among the functions were potluck dinners, picnics, a beach party, dining out, a gala halfway dinner, video taping sessions, and a halo- ween party. Best of all the activities, however, were the homecoming preparations. As we steamed into San Diego Harbor we were greeted by several signs, one delivered by the tug, a band, baloons, and, most importantly, the loved ones. .ff Heading the ROARK Wives were ombudsmen Shan Wolfram, left, and Patti Huff. One-of the biggest morale boosters was the videotape familygram. ABOVE: A COMNAVSURFPAC cameraman prepares to tape one of the wive's messages.
