SAMUEL GOIVIRERS is the first ship of the fleet named for the founder of the American Federation of Labor, a fit- ting name for a ship which is virtually a complete floating industrial community. l-ler six Repair divisions represent a repair capability equalling that found in any Western Pacific shore-based Ship Repair Facility. GOIVIRERS' tending ability is backed up by ship's service power which could heat a city of 10,000, generate electric- ity to light a city of 50,000, and fill the water needs of a city of 8,000. ln keep- ing with the newest generation of skills required in support of today's modern ships, GOMPERS has been designed with the capability of repairing nuclear powered propulsion plants. l-ler supply department supports Repair with an inventory of 60,000 re- pair parts and materials with a value in excess of 1.5 million dollars. To move these goods efficiently, conveyers, ele- vators, dumb waiters, and extensive fork lift passageways gird the ship. l-ler officers and crew share a mod- ern medical facility and the largest den- tal clinic afloat, as well as laundry and ship's store facilities, with the de- stroyer sailors. Extensive berthing spaces include space for the embarka- tion of a full flag officer staff. l-ler mission: the repair and support of destroyer-type ships, including de- stroyer escorts and nuclear powered guided missile frigates. x-r' L As the chiefs stand by, the crew answers the order, Man the ship. At the announcement, the old salts ex- claim, Only 190 days to go! For some of us, it will be the first cruise, the first extended separation from our families and friends. For others, it will loe a re- turn to old stomping grounds, and the names of the exotic sounding ports roll off our tongues. Yokosuka, Pearl, Su- bic, l-long Kong-the Orient.

I2 L' AVAILABILITY Now we were ready for our mission: destroyer tender availability. lt was our jolo to keep the destroyers on the line, to perform needed repairs without re- quiring an extensive yard period for the destroyers. Work parties crossed back and forth on the nests of ships, divers worked on the hulls, service lines led from the GOMPERS to the destroyers, carrying steam, water, electricity, low pressure air, and cranes weaved over- head, transferring stores and weapons. 6-me ,, f 'wa 6' Precision lathe work was produced by the machine Deck division con- ' structed the camels used when destroyers came alongside.

Go M PERS C AD -37 D The first Commanding Officer of USS SAMUEL GOIVIPERS, Captain Risch began his Naval career in 1942 as a Naval Aviation Cadet. After flight train- ing, he received his wings and was commissioned an Ensign at Pensacola, Florida in 1942. Between 1944 and 1948 Captain Risch underwent further flight training and served with various Pacific Fleet Patrol Squadrons, including units based at Whidbey Island, San Diego and Oki- nawa. l-le was assigned duty as a flight instructor in 1948 and spent two years in this capacity at Corpus Christi, Texas. After undergoing helicopter training in 1950, Captain Risch served as officer-in-charge of various helicop- ter detachments in the Atlantic Fleet. January of 1954 saw Captain Risch assigned to USS WORCESTER CCL.- 144J as Fire Control Officer. From WORCESTER, after a short time with Destroyer Squadron 6 based at Nor- folk, Virginia, he was ordered in 1956 to USS ROBERT A. OWENS COD-8275 as Executive Officer. After a two year tour aboard OWENS, Captain Risch went to Dam Neck, Virginia as a CIC instructor, and then on to the Norfolk-based de- stroyer tender, USS SI-IENANDOAI-I CAD-263 as Executive Officer. After graduating in 1963 from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, Captain Risch reported aboard USS BAUSELI. CDD-8453 as Command- ing Officer. From 1965 to 1966 he served on the Staff of Commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Force, United States Pacific Fleet as Readiness and Training Officer. In June 1966 Captain Risch assumed command of USS PRAIRIE CAD-155 where he served prior to re- porting for duty as Prospective Com- manding Officer of SAMUEL GOIVI- PERS. HL A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Commander C. Earl Chinn received his commission June 6, 1952 and reported to USS JUNEAU CCLAA- 1193. ln 1954, he reported to Mine War- fare School, Yorktown, Virginia and ulti- mately to USS LORIKEET CAMS--495 as Executive Officer. Following commands aboard USS HAMPTON CRCS-13869 and USS BOBOLINK CMMC-445, Com- mander Chinn reported in 1957 to Mili- tary Advisory Assistance Group, Chin- hae, Korea as Mine Warfare and l-larbor Defense advisor to the Republic of Korea Navy. Following assignment in 1957 to the Defense Atomic Support Agency at Albuquerque, New Mexico, he served in USS GAINERD CDD-7063 and in 1961 aboard USS FRED T. BERRY CDD-8587. After two years' in- structorship at Destroyer School in Newport, Rhode Island, Commander Chinn reported as Commanding Officer, USS KRETCI-lMER CDER-3297. He re- ported aboard SAMUEL GOMRERS as Prospective Executive Officer in April, 1967. The Ship And I-Ier Men l i . 1 i . l i i l l l l a l l i l i i i l 1 i l l i l l 1 zo L......... Lieutenant Commander Anthony G. Hartmann, Repair Officer Lieutenant Perry G. Sharp, Assistant Repair Officer The 450 man Repair Department is re- sponsible for carrying out the primary mission of SAMUEL GOMRERS. By the completion of the deployment, the suc- cess of that undertaking was evident throughout the Seventh Fleet. The major question facing the ship was voiced by observers, Can a ship of this type, without benefit of a shake- down cruise and post-shakedown avail- ability, make and complete a full deploy- ment, furnishing during all support peri- ods a high level of able, competent and timely fleet repair support? One hundred and fifty-two ships lat- er, forty-four of which received along- side availabilities, with over six thou- sand two hundred work requests com- pleted, with numerous reports evaluat- ing us as none superior in the force the question had been answered in the affirmative. One Destroyer Division Commander reported his impression in the following manner, SAMUEL GOMRERS is clearly the most outstanding tender in the Ra- cific Fleet. The superior skill of her crew and her interested, sincere will to serve is evident throughout the ship and in the work performed and services ren- dered to others. It is a great pleasure to be alongside. ln this manner, Service Supreme from the forty-four shops comprising the Department became a by-word with repair work completed by SAMUEL GOMRERS.

M, Of major concern to the Repair Depart- ment is the procurement of supplies to accomplish the requested repair work. The Supply Department fulfills this mis- sion-and more. To support the Repair effort and the requirements of other ship's depart- ments, the ship carries an inventory of 60,000 repair parts and materials with a value in excess of 1.5 million dollars. These are stored in 65 storerooms whose total storage capacity can house 70 full size automobiles. S-1 Division oversees the distribution of supplies to these spaces. S-2 Division is responsible for the feeding of the 1,000 man crew with the highest quality, most nutritious and appetizing meals so traditional to Navy's food service. These facilities include a modern bakery and freezer and refrigeration spaces which will hold enough food for over six months with- out provisioning. The furnishing of complete laundry service and dry cleaning services to all hands, the operation of two ship's stores stocked with a complete range of merchandise from toothbrushes to transistor radios, and their operation of other personal service facilities such as two barber shops, a tailor shop, and two soda fountains is handled by S-3 Division. S-4 Division handles the money on board and sees to it that the pay check is issued every two weeks. S-5 Division stewards see to the feeding of the officers and maintain their staterooms. A modern shipboard computer in- stallation is included in the inventory of facilities and comes under the job of S-6 Division. CDR D.lVl. Carpenter CSC?

The oper- ations of the department are concerned not only with the smooth functioning of the ship's two boilers and powerful steam turbine engine, but also the auxil- iary equipment which serves both the ship's needs and those of the destroy- ers which must go cold Plant to allow needed repairs to be made. The Damage Control organization ensures that accidents such as fire, loss of power, and explosions are effec- tively contained and avoided. Within a nest of destroyers, this department often provides over 2,000 hours per month of services such as steam, electricity, water, phones, and pressurized air for the operation of power tools. ln addition, the electrical systems of the ship are provided by the four ship's service turbine electrical generators. A no-nonsense attitude by Mr Rader ensures a squared- away department. FRONT ROW: Kenagy, FA: Johnston, EM2: Pal, FA: Parther, EMFN: Flynn, EMFN, Cloonan, EM3: Feyen, FN: Meurer, EM3.
