LOUIS LKA-116 FORWARD DEPLQYED 1985 SASEBO, JAPAN his book IS dedicated to those who devote shorter or longer part: ox their lives to the sea. lt's an experience not undertaken by many people, experiences which are sometimes painful, boring, and tiring beyond description, others which prove captivating, fascinating, even mysterious. Adjectives go on, but this book attempts to convey to the reader the truly unique experience of going to sea aboard a U.S.Navy amphibious combatant vessel. There is nothing comparable to it. This book is also dedicated to those who share the sea with its sailors: the far-removed stateside families, including Matthew and Wyatt, Emilia, Rosie and Cindy, Ligaya, Dawn, Jonathan and Jeremy, l-lolly, Jennifer, Enillie, Jackie and Randi, Laura, Petty, Elizabeth, Delia Ann, Warren, Jean, Margaret, Barbara, Alles, Jr., and Margarita.

Cwlgh html, f..,,,. my 'M as 'NT- 'Su CO DI OFFICER he many accomplishments of the USS ST. LOUIS in 1985 are well known throughout the 7 Seventh Fleet. The Battle E Departmental Awards, the Blue R, participation in numerous Seventh Fleet exercises, Supply Management Inspection, Medical Readiness Evaluation. INSURV, and OPPE is only a partial list. These indications of the ship's success are just half the story. I would like to recognize the less tangible individual successes that we have seen this year: Your performance as representatives of our wonder- ful country in many foreign ports. The successful advancement and rapid professional development of so many individuals. 'O The support and involvement of the families through- out the year. The extra hours spent repairing equipment to ensure our commitments were completed as scheduled. These personal accomplishments and shared experi- ences as well as working together are what makes life in the Navy a special profession. lt has been a good year. F.L.

LOU... literally. lt began when we received word that we had won the Battle Efficiency Award Cbetter known as the Battle E J for the 1983- 1984 competitive cycle. Although the ST LOU had not, of course, been in actual combat, awarding the E to the ship was an appropriate acknowledgement of the professional manner in which we completed the transition to WESTPAC and immediately assumed a heavy workload as the first true Gator forward de- ployed to the Seventh Fleet. The winning of the Battle E was highlighted by the simultaneous announcement of departmental excellence awards for Communications and Damage Control. Each award represented the hard work and sweat of a whole bunch of folks from every department who together put the ST LOU in the running for the awards. Whatever your particular con- tribution to the ship might have been, you can bet that it was a team effort that earned all the kudos! The Retention R soon followed the other awards 5 seems enough of us either re-enlisted or extended to make the staffs sit up and take notice. Then there was the host of other well done's and pats -on -the- back for many evolutions: the Operational Propulsion Plant Readiness Exam, Team Spirit '85, Amphibious Refresher Training, the Medical Readiness Evaluation, and the Supply Management Inspection, to name but a few of the memorable ones. By the end of '85 we'd felt like we'd done it all and, better yet, done it all well. Saint Lou Can Do had proved to be a lot more than just a phrase at the top the POD, it was the ST LOUIS style in 1985. LCDR SMITH, USN, SENIOR WATCH OFFICER CHANGE UF CO MA -- 1.

The job consists of making better communications possible at all levels of command and to foster a Keener sensitivity to the needs and viewpoints of enlisted men and their dependents. The Command Master Chief is responsible to keep the Commanding Officer up to date on situations, procedures and practices that affect the welfare, morale and well being of the enlisted crew. He assists the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer in formulating policy that concerns the enlisted personnel of the command. The Command Master Chief's advice is particularly helpful to the command on matters concerning the morale and quality of life for enlisted personnel and their dependents, as well as helping to solve personal problems or correcting situations that could be potential problems. Through the Command Master Chief, every sailor, regardless of rank or station, has a secure line of communication to the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, and, ultimately, to the Chief of Naval Operations. STCMCSWJGUSTIN, USN arbara l-lumiston has been the ST. LOUIS Ombudsman since 17 August 1985, relieving Deborah Brimhall. Her Assistant Ombuds- man, Tammy Fesmire, is very supportive to the Ombudsman pro- gram. The Navy Ombudsman Program was initiated in October 1970 by the Chief of Naval Operations. While establishing the Ombudsman program, he set these specific guidelines: f'The importance of the Navy wife as a member of the Navy Team cannot be over emphasized. Although the welfare of wives has always been of great concern to the Navy, wives have never had an official representative to express their views to commanding officers and base commanders. This Navy Wives Ombudsman concept shall reflect and build upon related activ- ities in existing wives organizations and the Navy services and benefits councils... let's listen carefully to an official representative. The Ombudsman really comes into focus when the ship is at sea. That is when her job is the most important and when people depend on her most. She keeps the families informed concerning ship's deployment, and takes care of problems that may arise with the wives and children. She gets in touch with the proper people to help solve the problems and she depends on and works closely with the DAT fOependents Assistant Teamj. The Navy is a family of dedicated people sharing something very special which is a tradition and legacy of performance, a history and custom of helping one another.

We operate steam-powered turbines for ships propulsion and for generation of electrical power. We make fresh water from sea water then we carry water throughout the ship through a system consisting of pumps, piping and valves. Water onboard ST.LOUIS is treated by injecting Bromine. This water is then used for drinking, cooking. cleaning and bathing. It's cleaner than water found anywhere. Other fresh water is used in the boiler. Two low pressure and two high pressure air compressors have been placed in the hands of the men of lvl Division.

This sounds like a never ending story. But this is some ot the day - to - day duties and responsibilities of E Division. E Division is responsible for all electrical systems onboard ST. LOUIS. These include all electrical auxiliaries in the propulsion plant Ci. e. alarms, indicators, generators, switchboards to various pump motors J. Let's not forget the IC Gang. Remember when you last tried to make a phone call onboard? They also entertain you underway through the ship's site system. These responsibilities do not end there, since the ship's mission includes cargo handling. and since the cargo handling Winches and various other cargo handling systems are electrical, E Division has its hands full.

The Damage Control Workcenter ERO4 and ERO9 are responsible for all aspects of damage control from 15 pound CO2 bottles to the major equipment ot HCFF stations onboard. Without these highly trained individuals, the ship's fire fighting capabilities would be greatly reduced. The Shipfitters ERO1 are tasked with repairs to all major piping, plumbing, structural repairs from stem to stern, including repairs to the ship's eleven assault craft. The Machinery Repairman can manufacture anything from a simple bolt to the more elaborate parts required to run the major machinery onboard. Just about every repair made onboard involves R Division in some way or another. The HT's are also involved in the intense training provided to the lnport Mobile Repair Parties and Repair Lockers. So remember these words, a snipe may not be the Captain's pride, but without R Division the Captains pride doesn't ride.

Today, the Navy's striking force travels faster. To meet new requirements, the Navy's communication equipment and methods are changing. The Communications Cen- ter onboard the USS STLOUIS operates and maintains tactical communications such as Fleet Broadcast, primary ship- to - shore, and air if' ground communications. Virtually every task performed sy the USS '5T.l.OUlS is due to reliable communications between shore and fleet commands via OC Division. Our division officer ensures that rapid and reliable communications are maintained. Under the supervision of RMCS Roberts and other senior personnel, OC D llSIOl'T has been awarded the Communications Green the highest award a communications station can receive. OC Division ' cs a 12 on, 12 off watchbill at sea, and operates a four duty ecticr warcribill inport. The inport duty section is on call for 24 hours, and usually stays up most of the night processing radio 'rat'ic iri additicr to putting ir. a full working day, This kind of etfcrf and deterrrtifiation allows tactical and administrative informa- t cr 'C UE f:lCLl3l'QF:O iwittly and accurately throughout the Navy.

Our Division Officer is ENS Kuehne who arrived here October 1985 fresh from Surface Warfare School in San Diego. For most of this year, though, the man in charge was ETCS CSW5 Evans, a dedicated professional with the warm smile everybody knows. He's also known to send shivers up and down the spine of any boot seaman that confronts him. Our outgoing LPO was ET1 Johnson. This soft - spoken and knowledgeable individual departed in January 1986 for instructor duty with FTG in Hawaii. Our new LPO, EW1 Brown, came in Nlay 1985 from USS KlRK. ET2 Jimbo Prue is our Supply P.O. and is remembered for the days he was stuck onboard trouble shooting the LN-66, while anchored off at Phattaya Beach. EW2 Bellamy left in December 1985 for sweet shore duty in Pensacola, Florida. He'll be an instructor at Consolidated Naval Electronic Warfare School. The leading EW, EW2 Frisby, knows the SLQ-32 inside and out. ET2 CSWD Hirahara also left in December 1985. Kenny was the Sailor of the Quarter for January-Nlarch 1985.

There have been many sacrifices this year worth mentioning, but what comes to mind is the commitment and drive this Medical Department has. The crew of the USS STLOUIS may not understand the many hours spent by their Medical Department to improve the quality of health care aboard the l'LDU . Likewise, many are unaware ofthe many services that are :rofided tor the crew through the Medical Department.

The common bond of the members of the department is providing service to the crew. The two largest entities in the department are the Ship's Office CYeoman 5 and the Personnel Officer CPersonnelmenJ. The Yeoman maintain officer service records, prepare official documents relat- ing to officers, prepare all outgoing correspondence and internal directives for the signature of the ' 'll commanding officer or those designated by him, and file and route all incoming correspondence. It's a big job and it becomes even more demanding when directives must be revised or created prior to an inspection. The Personnelmen maintain enlisted service records and originate correspondence pertaining to enlisted personnel. With three hundred enlisted personnel assigned and only two or three Personnel- men, theirs is always a very demanding job every day of the year. The Yeoman and Personnelmen on a vessel homeported overseas must work even harder than their counterparts on a ship of the same class homeported in CONUS. There is a lot of special correspondence associated with being assigned to an overseas homeport, and there's rarely' a Personnel Support Activity like the ones in Hawaii and San Diego nearby to provide guidance. The others who fall under the mantle Cf the Administrative Department to varying degrees are the Command Master Chief, the 3-Nl Coordinator, the Master-at-Arms, Command Career Counselor and the Postal Clerk, The Master-at'Arms assists the Executive Officer in enforcing Navy and command policies. I' youre not complying with a regulation when he's around, you can bet he'll tell you about it. The Command Career Counselor provides 'formation to the crew concerning career development and talks to the detailers. Before the creation of the NC rate, this service was zrcwdec by di fizior. officers. Now the Navy has so many programs you can take advantage of that it takes a dedicated professional to trees 'raclr sf them all The Postal Clerlf doesn't endure much rain, snow, sleet or hail, but he does hand out the mail both at home and in faraway piacez Hopefully you now have a better understanding of the Administrative Department. We also hope you've been satisfied If the e 1 cet Ne fe profided during the past year. if COMBAT CARGO COMBAT CARGO OFFICER LT MANN Num.

Some went by way of toured visits, seeing the most photographed green brass Buddha in the world, the Meiji Temple and other shrines, the Emperofs palace and garden. Others with less formal visits in mind, used the north - bound train to Tokyo, their trips included some of the best- known tavern districts in the city. We found Chinatown in Yoko- hama, too, and a selected group viewed Japanese baseball at the stadium near there. We remember Tokyo and Tokyo Wan for Mount Fuji on a clear day giant, majestic, regal overseeing its country's goings- on from the distance. Photos Cclockwise from bottomb: 1.

For many, Sasebo is home because of wives and children, the intregral parts of our lives who we see so rarely. Family time is precious when we re in Sasebo. Sasebo is a tine homeport. l.et's com- pare.. Theres San Diego, but some say its too large a city 3 it contains the eyesores that one associates with big-city living. Theres also Yokosuka, large, and maybe too many sailors competing for too little space. So theres Sasebo. The Kyushu people treat us well here. We find time to do things here that we don't do anywhere else. ln the warm months, sailors can be seen with softballs, tootballs and soccer balls in Nimitz Park. Throughout the year, theres basketball and racquetball. Sailors attend and participate in boxing smokers, sumo tour- naments, billiards, martial arts. ln town, sailors ice skate and bowl, and we tind time to take fishing trips and sail and camp. We remember Sasebo for many of the sights and entertainments, and for the friends weve made here. HQTVJ T .ir r is -s X -.V 'H if .,t .r .ia-4 ' f ' 5 -.

Sailors purchased sweaters and shirts, travel bags and beer, sportcoats and stuffed animals during numerous working and liberty port visits to Korea. In December, wives and friends took the eight-hour trip from Sasebo for a Christmas spree. Our travels in Korea extended beyond Pusan and Pohang. Sailors took air, bus and train rides to Seoul, and found the shopping at ltaewon even more various there. They also saw Seoul Tower and the site of the city's 1988 Olympic games. Perhaps the latest newcomers to ST. LOUIS will see the Olympiad. We remember Korea for drab streets but colorful women, for garlic and brass. Photos Ccounterclock wise from belowj 1.

OLO I PO longapo still ranks as one of the sailor's favorite places tor liberty. lt is, after all, STLOUIS' sec- ond home the ship uses it as a launching point tor at least one amphibious exercise and amphibious retre- sher training. and receives a good portion of its repairs from SRF Subic Bay. Given the number of times vve've been there, sailors can diagram the streets of Olongapo, each of its taverns and discos, the pizza shops and street vendors. Two other neighboring cities vie for the attention of sailors and their liberty amusement time. Sailors will never forget Fillmore East, Sargeant Peppers. Miami, Playboy, East Coast, Oak Barrel, D' Bird, Genesis, Airport, and Mom's. There are too many others to name. Photos Cclockwise from right D: 1.

CEB t was a typical ST.LOUlS working-ship routine in October and November 1985. Sasebo to Okinawa. Onload in Okinawa. Offload in Pusan. Onload in Okinawa. Offload in Pusan. Offload in Okinawa. Onload in Yokohama. Offload in Sendai, Okinawa, Subic. And then finally Cebu. A liberty port we truly deserved. ST.LOUlS was greeted by a 300 - plus crowd of their four-day hosts the onlookers and shell-selling fortune hunters we' ve come to expect of the islands. We remember one of our longer sea and anchor details. Four days seemed short there, but the memories are distinct. Sailors treated themselves to lethargic days on the beaches of Nlactan Island, and found diving and snorkling everything Off-Duty magazine said it was. Others took well-planned tours, discovering that Magellan was a lucky man indeed to find such a lavish holiday island, unlucky of course that Chieftain Lapu-Lapu was committed to protecting his interests from the Spaniard. Sports-minded sailors played soccer and softball and basketball with their host nationals the lean Filipino males seemed never to run out of breath. There was also a ship's picnic, a first class party, an officers bachelor party bash. Cebu's seafood was the best we've eaten. Specifically, sailors recall St.Gotthard's, the Lighthouse, Tam- bouli Beach, the Casino, IVlagellan's cross, San Moritz restaurant, Eddy's Log Cabin, Beverly Hills. 35:51 .., :.r , -.- Wu ie 'fiff Q u , , , A Lfgf IC-f , rr, 1 V, 'ffff 3 J' J 'Q , ,,, ,,, 4 rjwf N' Lf ffl.

Picture the reluctant young man as he sits at his hometown recruiter's desk, the clammy hands, nervous twitching in his seat are indications of his hesita- tion. The deceptive, evasive smile and the soothing words of the uniformed man remove the young man's reluctance: you'll travel to Bangkok, Tokyo, l-long Kong, Naples, Casablanca, Athens . . . Hong Kong. lt was what we thought it would be. Crowded and bustling. Exotic and modern. The traditional commer- cial center more items to purchase than could be. The sailors activities were varied there. Some con- centrated on the island's highlights Victoria Peak, Aberdeen's Jumbo restaurant and boat excursions. Others ventured to the Portuguese gambling fortress of Macao via 60-foot hydrofoil. Almost all shoppers travelled the harbor on the Star Ferry to Kowloon on daytime trips and nightlife excursions. One group of tourists became symbols of Red China's slow opening to the West visiting several small cities and southern rural areas discovering the Communist coun- try's leaning toward capitalism. They returned to the ship with purchased souvenirs and green Mao hats proudly displayed. A small but big-hearted group gave up liberty time in painting and preserving the interior of the Wesleyan Mission House on Cheung Chau Island. Photos Ccounterclockwise from bottom J: 1.

Nowhere anywhere are so many sailor amusements assembled in so small an area. Sailors lounged by the horseshoe shaped beach and had hotel pool parties by day. We were everywhere: some submersed in diving gear, others on the surface on power boatdriven skis and sleds, still others in the air, the multicolored parachutes lifting them above hundreds of anchored vessels. Others sought Thailand's rubies and saphires and gold, lustrous yellow Baht bought with paper Baht. Some tasted the Orient by way of Bangkok, two hours bus ride to the north. Still further north, they toured great Buddhist temples and Thailand's ancient capital city golden Buddhas, golden ceilings, golden tigers. By night back in Phattaya, sailors were hitting the streets. Two songs came readily to mind songs that made the hard man humble, sunshine, and told us what Cindy Laupert would have sung if she'd been there. We saw kick boxers and a snake charmer. 5'4 Sailors recall Phattaya for Caligula, the outdoor taver- ns, inexpensive seafood, Whiskey-A-Gogo, the Tahitian and Rose's. IQQQD .

We only hope this book can rekindle those feelings. There are many to thank for this edition. To EM2 Smidt, who traced little blue lines until he saw double.
