The Canal is located only 9 degrees north of the equator, and runs northwest to southeast with the Atlan- tic entrance being 27 miles west of the Pacific entrance. The most fascinating event of a Canal transit is the raising or lowering of your ship, without any noticeable movements, 85 feet in the Gatun Locks near the At- lantic entrance. This feat is accomplished in three steps. The focal point of the lock complex is the Control House. From that point the gates and wa- ter levels between cham- bers are controlled. When the water level between two steps is constant, the gates are opened and the ship is pulled through by electric mules. Remarkable is the fact that no pumps are used in this operation and the seven foot thick gates are so precisely balanced that they are moved by a mere 40 horsepower motor. 2 QW! 444 FIRST DIVISION lst Lieutenant ENS J M Jenkins Plandome N Y . 1 1 K, 1 swf s lst.

Over a 100 years later, his words were often repeatedby the Boatswains Mates. Upon arrival in Vietnam, we found ourselves working 10 to 12 hours a day and manning GQ stations. On our tours as res- cue destroyer for car- riers, the deck force had to be alert for missions around the clock. Our last six weeks were the hardest for us. Besides 12 hours of watch a day, we had to keep the ship up. The trip home found the deck force still hard at it to get the ship ready for Char- leston. So went our pleasure cruise. 4 E fs-Z-Que... , 1 x w n , L .--.. P . 7 X . 21, F. SAN DIEGO .. ..,.. Dy ' ,,,.,- few 'N ' b 'Qf 'I5' -' ,Q ' .4 b i 9 'wrfneg r ' ' K ' Q3 ., .. ,-. ,.

Today Subic Bay is an active shipyard facility capable of repairing any type of amage to any type o ship. STRONG was here twice for up- keep and liberty. Both times we wor ed hard, but had a little time to enjoy the many recreational facilities on the base. Mostpdivi- ,sions had cookouts on Grande Island, parties, and athletic contests. We also took advantage of the many fine buys available at the Foreign Exchange. A-wig. 'f' ap., A y. J 151.gif 15 ai . qmbpxgs ' , -.,-5,41 ,- ,.,, .... . T1 .,,...evsa,,..---V--WH ' .,,.

Its purpose is to deny the enemy the use of coastal roads and waterways for the movement of supplies to South Vietnam. Destroyers are employed with great success in the operation for shore bombardment.

A dry helo hovers over the fantail at 50 feet, drops a line, and draws the hose up to her tank. The hose is attached to our aviation fuel tanks.

X What actually distinguishes a wa h' rs ip from other vessels is her armament big guns These Wea . pons are maintained by the Gunners-Mates and are aim and fired by the Fire Control Technicians. If one wears the crossed can nons on his sleeve he knows what hard W0 is. While in WestPac ,T STRONG fired over 6,000 rounds of ammunition. T resulting wear on the guns mad ' e maintenance a constant problem.

Replenishment ships similar to the one pictured on the preceeding page carry large cargo helicopters which deliver stores to the customer's fantail. The stores are then hand carried to the ship's storage areas. This work is tiring but much quicker than the usual along side method, Also, those helo pilots have a knaelf f0T Ending mail for us.

On the average, a carrier launches eighty missions per day, all bound for targets in North Viet Nam. Destro ers operatin in twos and threes, stay close to the carrier and provide rescue servilces for the ungortunate pilot who splashes on take-off or recovery, While in Westpac, the STRONG operated with the USS CORAL SEA QCVA -435, USS RANGER CCVA-615, and USS TICONDEROGA fCVA-141. Although the STRONG did not have to fish any pilots out of the drink, the experience her personnel gained will benefit them in future assignments. The ood thin about Carrier Ops--the almost daily mail service--the bad thing-- 8 S those long monotonous hours between air ops when we merely followed along behind our carrier. 39 Pictured here are four types of strike aircraft presently on duty in the Gulf of Tonkin. Top left an A6A Intruder Attack Bomber returns to her carrier following a dawn attack. Top ri ht an F41 Phantom Fighter-Bomber is picturef just prior to landing. Directly left is an RA5 Vigilante Attack and Reconnaissance Plane returning from a morning patrol. Below left an A7 Corsair Low Level Bomber comes home from a successful bombing run. Bottom left a Phantom returns from a late afternoon strike. Bottom ri ht is the USS STRONG QDD-7585 as seen from tge fantail of the USS RANGER qCVA-613.

During our Westpac deployment, Commander Brown was in command when the STRONG partici- pated in Operation Sea Dragon off the coast of North Vietnam. While attached to Sea Dragon, STRONG sank ten Water-borne Lolgistics Craft QWBLCJ, destroyed three Coastal efense sites, and stopped a convoy of seventy trucks carrying supplies south. Commander Lowry assumed command while STRONG was attached to the USS CORAL SEA CCVA-435 in the Tonkin Gulf. The next two months were spent operating with the carriers TICONDEROGA and RANGER, Part of February and March found STRONG in the sea of Japan with the RANGER, April was STRONG'S busiest month. During April, STRONG operated in Corps Tactical Zones ll, H, IV, and the Rung Sat Special Zone. The ship is credited with destroying or damaging 104 enemy structures, 9 bunkers, 11 meters o trench line, and sinking or damaging 14 WBLCS, STRONG is also credited with 13 enemy killed in action plus 6 probably killed in action. 5 r 1 OI nlvlslou fl F5 1' ii ix f 3 r ? 3?

When things go right, ours is a thank- less lot. But you should hear the -hue and cry that goes up if anything goes wron . Electricians, plumiers, mechanics, all rush to the scene.

They served as gun magazine captains, mount crew members, ammo handlers, stable element operators, and director trainers for operations Sea Dragon and Naval Gunfire Support. On Carrier Ops, the division got back to its first love--listening for subs. , Two days were also spent on an exercise to improve these skills. . .X M 5 i s ixp xx ' 'is X , . --4 '.'i V 5: p 7 f sg 5 J 7 is ' Sis- .

These helos are capable of delivering a torpedo on an unfriendly sub- marine before it is close enough to do any harm. As the name implies, these aircraft are flown by remote control rather than by a pilot. Keeping the helos ready for action requires the full time attention of the six men who are STRONG's Fourth Division. The men insure that our Drones operate well mechan- ically and electrically. Indicative of this division's excellent work is their record of havin never lost a Drone, and having never misses a flight.

All gov- ernmental changes which have taken place have been accomplished by the Thai eople themselves. As a result, the Thai exhibit very little if any dis- trust of Westerners, The Thai people are quiet and very friendly. They traditionally measure their wealth by the number of friends they have, and so we found ourselves warmly welcomed everywhere we went. Durin our five day stay, most of us toured t ie Bangkok area on specially chartered busses. Among the many re- warding places we visited were the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Royal Palace, the Pastueur Institute, the temples of the Reclining Buddha, the Great Buddha and the Dawn, Another feature attraction for us was Thai boxing. In this sport elbows, knees, and fists are freely brought into play. A Thai bout begins with a prayer in which the contestants in- voke all the dieties and sacred things to their aid. T his is followed by a dance to strike fear into their op- ponent's heart. All this is done to appropriate music. Knockouts are common place and are usually accom plished with the feet. Shopping was a unique ex- perience. ln Thailand nearly every quoted price is higher than what is expected. The customer is expected to bargain. It didn't take us long to learn tjhe rules and pick up many fine buys. Many of us left this beautiful country with the sailor's common observation: Glad to have made the stop, sorry to have to leave so soon.

This gave our ASW team a chance to sharpen their skills after being idle for many months. The backbone of our ASW team is the Sonarmen. They are the ones who get submarine contact and feed information to CIC and the Bridge. CIC records all information, plots the submarine, and computes the Sub's course and speed. Com- bat also plots our own ship and all air and surface contacts. The STRONG made countless exercise attacks on the Sub firing exercise hedgehogs and simulating firing of torpedoes. t Our ASW team did a very good job under adverse water condidions and without the aid of an under- water fire control system. Our Sonarmen were able to hold contact most of the time for which good maneuvering of the ship was greatly responsible. Sonar, UB Plot, CIC, the Bridge, and our lookouts all work- ing together as a team made the ASW exercise a success. E Qiiff T lift f ffl? I , ..,,,,.....,,,. s ,lm 4 -i - f- L , w QUIT, 1 3 -'Fu-.

The great attrac- tion in Yokosuka is the large selection of hous evvares and electronic equipment available through the Navy Exchange facilities. When liberty call went, most of us travelled north to Tokyo, .Tapan'S capital city. Tokyo is a thriving metropolis of over 5,000,000 people that has been slowly Westernized since World War II. In this city, no one lacks for things of interest. Tokyo is a cultural center which boasts some of the finest in Western and Griental theatre and artg it is a scenic place which is noted for several beautiful parks, the largest of which are Shiba, Uyeno, and I-Iibiyag and it is an enter- 2 tainment center offering fine restaurants and clubs. No one who made the trip to Tokyo returned disappointed--a bit if ,. tired perhaps--but not disappointed. , ef- Q its e T l T , X ,,-u . .,L.1-,..i4.-.'
