The Ship's Picnic was held at Admiral Baker's Field and over SQ3 crewmembers at- tended. The Dependent's Cruise was an opportunity for families to see how we work and what it's like to be at sea. The day's activities included a flight deck picnic and various in rate demonstrations. Both evolutions em- phasized the importance of the Navy Family and were enioyed by all. 5,4 .,,., I! 'J TS T!

Ahead of us also lies the demanding and challenging Fleet Repair Services in Diego Garcia and Oman. No- body knows exactly what adventures they will encounter.

Be- sides nightly dance performances on the is- land, they ate lunch with the crewmembers and toured the various shops. Their interest in the crew's activities was sincere. An autograph session was scheduled so that ev- eryone could talk to their favorite cheer- leader.

W e worked hard in an environment which is not exactly eyerybody's Fantasy Island . and maintained our reputation as the finest tender in the fleet. We provided support services to USNS Vessels. submarines, the island. and destroyers. We were instru- mental in preventing the American Spartan from sinking in the harbor. We celebrated Christmas here in a storm so violent that liberty was secured and duty personnel worked around the clock to keep boats from breaking free or rocking into the ship. The exhaustive schedule was riddled with periodic lapses. A frenzied pace would start up when yet another ship had a priority repair or when 2 or 3 destroyers would tie up alongside. Some of the work we accomplished is illustrated throughout this book. This is the fun. hr lr.

The Dental Department is staffed by 4 highly skilled Dental Officers and their well trained crew of Dental Techs and strikers. The capabilities of the Dental Department allow them to bridge gaps between teeth and cultures. as they did in Fiji when they provided disaster relief. ln addition, they were on hand at every port call, providing dental care to military and diplomatic personnel and their de- pendents. Their services are a special benefit to our crew, since most atlaag units don't have dental facilities. This is obvious to anyone who notices the names in the sign log: HULL, BAINBRIDGE, HEP- BURN, HARRY W HILL, submarines-dental appointments were key assests to their availabilities. Service Supreme has many facets. dental care being an important one. Department Head X ,, 1,1 A A f W ,nl If J l jg, 1 ,Qs-iq Q Z Ln -4' CDR R. Frank, D.C. 'A , I f ,S S tr xx Nab i i N..-ix LCDR B.

The Engineering Department is responsible for providing electricity, water, heat, air conditioning, damage control, andmobility to the ship. lf we couldn't get there, provide electricity and hotel services, all work would stop. Being able to deploy distin- guishes the Samuel Gompers and ships of her class from shore repair facilities. Being able to work where we're most needed, such as Mombasa, Diego Garcia, and Masirah, is the responsibility of the Engineers. Under the direction of Lt.

Five work centers, including steam heat, emergency diesel, hydraulics, air conditioning and refrigeration. and ship's boats perform highly diversified services to various equipment throughout the ship. These services have a direct influ- ence on our everyday life. For instance, A Division maintained the cool in Diego Garcia. kept the boat engines revved up for Liberty turns. and kept the refrigera- tors cold enough to keep the ice cream from melting! Cranes. elevators, and con- veyors brought aboard supplies and kept things moving.

They ensure that fires are lit in order to generate steam. Steam genera- tion is essential to the life of the ship. The main engine shaft is turned by steam power, the ship's service turbogenerators provide electricity to us and ships along- side as a result of steam pressure. and low psi steam provides hotel services to the crew. This includes hot water for showers, laundry facilities, and the EDF, lust to mention a few. Boiler Techs fre- quently work in temperatures in excess of IOO, especially in the IO, and this not an easy task. In addition to running the firer- oom's boilers, associated machinery such as fuel and feed pumps, the Deareating Feed Tank, and guages are their responsi- bility. They also manage the ship's fuel and lube oil quality control .Th A ' s ey support the ship s mission of mobile repair. - U -lun.. , , f if a T Wvbyg , - y sf Q N! 11.4 nf' ' Q .62 5 in . Xu' 124 L.

A major part of R Division is ERO9 a work , center made up of personnel from every divi S, . ion of the ship. These DC maintenance personnel are trained by R Divisio n per- sonnel to keep their divisional spaces in t . . op condition. Perhaps more important. they train the inport rescue and as ' SIS- tance and firefighting teams. This train- in ' g, coupled with the expert supervision and hard work of the HT's, was put to a real test when the Samuel Gompers res- cued the sinking USNS AMERICAN SPARTAN in Diego Garcia. Division mans the flight deck and at sea R 8 A squad. They also perform routine weld- ing services throughout the ship and maintain the plumbing systems. R Divi- sion is an important part of the Samuel Gompers Team. R I' 'J -Ui... I 11 y V Q 1 V -1 as V Y I V -Q f-gf? ,Q 4' V ,, I I Q I ' - E' 1 Q- EZ '4 1- I -1 f- .

On board the SAMUEL GOMPERS, machin- ery repair takes place in quite a different atmosphere. The shops are immaculate and visiting them is like seeing a trade fair with its may shops open for a first-hand look at the machines and skills available to repair equipment and auxiliary machinery. R-2 is made up of seven separate work centers consisting of six different ratings, each with a concentrated specialty in a particu- lar field. This includes: the foundry, casting replacement of metal parts: the machine shop, precision machining and grinding: diesel and gasoline repairs pumps and valve overhaulg air conditioning and refrigera- tion, boiler repairs and the engraving shop.

At sea, many of the ET's stand watches in the combat information center.

As we pulled into port the first time, the USS ARIZCNA War Memorial was the first sight we saw. Many crewmembers made it the first stop on their short island tour. Others visited the Polynesian Cultural Center to witness Polynesian crafts, dances, and historical exhibits. Hanauma Bay, snorkelling or the waves of the North Shore were favorites of the more adventurous and far-ranging. By far the most popular area to visit, however, was Waikiki. There, sailors could soak up the sun all day, or shop, or just watch the tourists. By night, discos and restau- rants were a popular draw. Whatever the activity, Hawaii is a special port for all sailors. lt marks the beginning of a voyage into strange, exotic lands. lt is a hallowed memorial to the nation's most shocking maritime disaster. And for sailors heading east it is the last, short stop before returning home. lt's exotic island history makes it unique but the shared history, language, lifestyle, and monetary denomina- tions make it homes well, almost. 404' , ,,,, E S X Vw 'xv' I... - ,env -Z .lik g Y x ,-r.

Throughout the ship. presents iso honorably not touchedl. trees with ornaments and Christmas care packages were displayed and opened with eager anticipation. There were a number of people stranded on the beach due to the storm. They were not forgotten by the crew, but were left to their own devices to celebrate Christmas day away from the ship. Christmas day at anchorage in Diego Garcia dur- ing a raging gail may not be the favorite memory of the crew. but will leave a memory for all crew members for years to come.

Not knowing what to expect, crewmembers found Sri Lanka as friendly and exotic as all three names imply. Tours ranged from 2,5w year old cities such as Anaradhnapura and Awkana to mountains and tea farms, and the lovely city of Kandy. Sailors were awed by snake charmers, had the chance to ride elephants, and visited many ancient Bhuddist stupas . On everybody's shopping list were pre' cious gems like rubies and sapphires, handmade baa tiks, ebony carvings, and brass ornaments. We sam- pled hot. spicy curry dishes and splendid seafood. Our visit enabled us to entertain ambassadors and Sri Lankan Navy officials onboard the Gompers in return for the warm hospitality shown to us. The Sri Lankan port visit was a nice highlight to our Indian Gcean stay. lb A K. W7 I I I 4,-,4--'-'W - . . 1, ,. ' W7 ., Q- W..
