Whereas, the Royal High Court of the Raging Main has been convened by us on board the good ship ROARK on the 28th day of January 1979 at Longitude 166 and Latitude 0, and an inspection of our Royal High Roster show that it is high time the sad and wandering nautical soul of that much abused body of yours appeared before the High Tribunal of Neptune . . . -4' All trusty and loyal shellbacks assemble on the enlisted dining facility. And so the word was passed as preparations were made for ROARK's line-crossing ceremonies. Shellbacks of all ages, rank, and experience gathered together to plan the carrying out of a tradition older than the Navy itself. Thus when the weekend of January 27, 1979 began they were ready, or so they thought. Alas, alas, the best laid plans . . . early Saturday afternoon a mass of crazed pollywogs, whipped into a frenzy by their mad leader, King Wog, rose up and seized control of the ship. With the captain in their hands and only a small group of fanatic shellbacks, being led by the executive officer, still on the loose, all captured shellbacks were taken to the flight deck and very unceremoniously executed. The victory was short however, as Davey Jones appeared and the shellbacks gained the upper hand. q --Q I i i l 4 l I i F l i l l l l Pollowog hopefuls lineup for judging during the line-crossing beauty pageant 1 l l . 1 l '-sv I' Say there fella, l bet you could use a home cooked meal.

One of the real keys in all major activities' aboard ship is the executive officer. lt 'is the X0f1? who is responsible for planning and carrying outi everything the ship is involved in. It is the XO whoj looks ahead to see what is coming up and verifies the schedule of planned action to ensure all: preparations are completed on time. A In the months prior to ROARK's deployment, XO LCDR J. F. Sussilleaux kept close track of everything being done to prepare the ship for the five month cruise ahead. lt seemed nothing escaped his attention. Plans of Action were prepared and monitored for problem areas. If special action was needed, it was taken. The result, when the January 17 departure date arrived, ROARK was well prepared to begin the cruise and well stocked to operate in an area devoid of the customary U.S. Navy supply sources. XO Sussilleaux never got to see the results of his labors. When ROARK reached Pearl Harbor he completed the relieving process and LCDFl L. L. King assumed duties as executive officer. The Old XO departed the ship as a commander bound for new responsibilities in Washington, D.C. He left behind a ship well prepared to meet the challenges ahead and a spirit best exemplified by the ROARK theme song he championed which would be heard throughout the Southern Pacific, Rocky's theme - Feeling Stronger Now. p 4 L , and aft LCDR L. L. King reported aboard shortly before ROARK's departure from San Diego. As the cruise began, XO King brought his own unique set of experiences and talents to bear on the tasks at hand. His years of experience as the Chief Engineer aboard the USS HORNE and as one of the inspectors on the Propulsion Examining Board proved invaluable throughout the cruise. With the plant constantly lit off, the man in the light blue PEB coveralls with the purple pen could be seen roaming everywhere. Pumps were checked, valves examined, and personnel questioned. The end result, the best became even better. ROARK steamed halfway around the world and back without incident and without any significant casualties. As the months passed, LCDR King attacked the seemingly endless mass of deployment responsibilities. In carrying out the tasks which make all executive officers so popular, he was able to keep spirits high by utilizing his own special sense of humor and vocabulary. The only question remaining at the end of the cruise regarding the X0 was, What is a wingnut'? fi LT Berriman - 'tDid anyone find a ham brewer's yeast shake? sandwich and a A ITC' - LTJG Neighbors examines the anticipated track for ROARK's entry into port.

As the month's rolled by, ROARK crewmembers discovered what it was that had lured sailors to this part of the world for centuries. Beautiful tropical scenery, exciting recreational facilities, and a people eager to make new friends combined to make a deployment seem like a vacation. However, in the midst of the receptions, bus tours, and swimming parties, there was still a job to do.

The result, seven 1 volunteer work groups were sent out into the field during the four day visit in Suva to assist the numerous charitable institutions located throughout the area. The jobs performed were as varied as . the institutions which needed them. At one location some workers tore down the old wall of a dormitory and replaced it with a new one while others painted showers and cleaned the ventilation screens of a kitchen area to allow smoke to get out. At a small children's home, crewmembers dug holes and installed a new fence around a garden. At still another location, volunteers cleaned and painted furniture and put on a show of American guitar playing and singing.

Which was due largely to the fact the Fijians are used to seeing American ships. Nevertheless, interest in the ROAFlK's visit was I high.

People came from miles around to tour the ship and meet the Americans. What was more, the city officials had planned a full schedule of activities for the four day visit. A group of local citizens played host to fifty crewmembers at a dinner in the town center on the first night in port. The officers were greeted by the mayor at a reception and dinner in the city council chambers. Two free buses took interested crewmen on day long tours through the New Zealand countryside. Everywhere the buses stopped, local officials came out to greet the American sailors. Each tour included stops at a cheese factory, sheepskin tannery and mountain resort. Beyond the activities planned by the city officials, were all types of unplanned happenings. The dial-a-sailor program brought invitations for everything from fishing trips to airplane flights. And for those who got to go, who can forget the jet boat trip?

There were invitations to dinner, church, camping trips, antique car rallies, swimming parties, basketball games, and every sort of imaginable recreational activity. lt was with regret some of the invitations had to be turned down. ROARK just didn't have enough crewmembers to go around. There were enough crewmembers available though for a very unique activity.

With days of constant activity behind them, ROARK left Timaru as it had done before in other ports and would do many more times in ports yet to come.

When they reached the quarterdeck, they were divided into groups of ten, fifteen, or twenty people and assigned a tour guide. The guide welcomed them aboard and explained a little bit about ROARK's history and mission. Following their guide on a prescribed route, visitors listened to talks on shipboard weapon systems and operations. They saw the gun, ASROC launcher, BPDSMS launcher, boat deck, torpedo tubes, bridge, and signal bridge area in addition to numerous little attractions along the route. One of the most popular stops of the tour was the SOUTHPAC mural. The mural, actually a large chart of the Pacific Ocean, showed ROARK's trek across the ocean from San Diego. lt was painted and updated between port visits by ROARK's Rembrandt , QM3 Hall. .
