It is a story of the men who, by their performance of duty and dedica- tion, have given life to this magnificent ship. It is fitting, therefore, that this Cruise Book he dedicated to you, the finest crew in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. The accomplishments of the past year have been many- too many to list individually, hut three deserve mention. These were the operations occasioned hy events in Greece and later, lsraelfEgypt. The third was the receipt of Commander Service Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet Battle Efficiency Award for the Competitive Year 1967. For these and other accomplish- ments, I express my sincere appreciation with the knowledge that one year hence the record will show new and significant accomplishments hy Sylvania in project- ing Sea Power in the National interest. I am proud to he a member of such a spirited, dedicated and professional group of men.

PERMANENTLY HOMEPORTED IN NAPLES, ITALY, THIS VOLUME CARRIES FORWARD THE STORY OF THIS FAST COMBAT. STORES SHIP, THE FIRST OF HER CLASS TO BE AWARDED THE BATTLE EFFICIENCY AWARD FOR FISCAL YEAR 1967. THIS IS HER STORY - THE STORY OF ITS CREW AND OFFICERS - THE DEDICATED MEN IN NAVY BLUE WHO REPRESENT THE LIFE-LINE OF SEAPOWER. NM 'J -.,.,M,. PHI R. I... CAMPBELL., USN, USS AMERICA CCVA-66, -N 1 ' - - 1 The logistical services supplied by the Sylvania and other members of our force are vital- to our powerful military establishment if our Naval units are to survive, whether it be during normal peacetime surveillance of the seas or during wartime in defense of freedom throughout the world. - ' The tasks we perform are not new, but the equipment, execution and methods are results of what have been perfected through the years. Today, through our efforts, ships of the line have the ability to remain at sea for indefinite periods, in lieu of relying solely on shore installations for supplies and provisions. Simply stated: primary reliance for support of deployed fleets is placed on afloat capabilities. ' Our deployed fleets patrol what is equivalent to half of the earth's ocean region from the 'Arctic to the Antarctic and the western coastline of the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. Without underway replenishment capabilities, our ships would have to go into friendly overseas ports for replenish- ment, This would always be contingent upon the latestpolitical agreements with our allies ftherefore, would not be as dependable as is required for flexible, mobile operations. . ' . 4 . To thwart this possibility and fulfill our goal, we ofthe Sylvania along with other service force ships utilize two methods of underway replenishment at sea -alongside and vertical. The responsibilities of the U.S. Navy' in' protecting the 'oceans of the world are tremendous. Today, our great country prides itself on the mobility, flexibility and endurance of the Armed Forces. Without the ability to remain at sea for sustained periods that we provide, the Navy cannot fulfill its part in our country's military organization. We are part of a vital and proud team, the Service Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. As a part of this team we'play no small part in providing the fleet with the fuel, provisions, stores, ammunition and repair serve ice necessary to remain at sea wherever necessary. The seagoing portion, of which the Sylvania is a part, is composed of four service squadrons com- manded by senior Captains-referred to as Commo- d . The Commanders of Service Squadrons TWO ar?deFOUR normally utilize repair ships CAR SJ as their flagships, homeported in Newport, R.l. and Norfolk,- Virginia respectively. These Commodores are primarily concerned with providing Mobile Logistic Support and Underway Replenishment services to the Second Fleet operating in the Western Atlantic waters and the Antr- Submarine Warfare Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Commander Service Squadron SIX, permanently n the Mediterranean normall utilizes located here i 1 , I ll , a large fleet oiler as his flagship. He 'rs charged with providing the 'entire Sixth Fleet with dependable logistics support. Designated Commander Service- Force, Sixth Fleet, he operates and administers training. for ships assigned to his force, and maintains direct liaison with Commander Sixth Fleet, and other commands regarding logistic matters. r , The remaining squadron, Service Squadron EIGHT, based in Norfolk, conducts all special projects within the force such as salvage, towing and harbor clearance, oceanographic surveys and cable laying. - The ships of our force are classified in three general categories. The first is the Underway Replen- ishment Ships including fleet oilers, ammunition ships, general stores issue ships and now, of course, the Siylvania, a combination provisions and stores issue s rp The second consists of the Mobile Logistic' Sup- port ships including repair ships, cargo ships, fleet tugs and salvage ships. .The third category is classifiedas Miscellaneous Auxrlliarres. The ships normally perform the SPECIAL- IZED tasks and include oceanographic survey ships, technical research ships, and cable layers. I n . To best exemplify the Service Force's responsibil- rtres and how wehelp to fulfill them, let's go through a typical Logistic Replenishment Cycle-normally scheduled every month for the operating forces of the Sixth Fleet. - Frrst,'when we speak of operating forces, we are speaking rn terms of between 50 and 60 ships on station here rn the Mediterranean at all times. These forces include fast carrier strike groups amphibigug ships with their embarked Marine battalions subma- runes, mine craft and the service force supporting units. Combatant units of the Sixth Fleet operate in- gsfegldfmy SEM-Ql9d.shore units which were loaded Six months of logistic support materials-except for petroleum products and munitions may be carried in- two echelons at sea. The first being the combatant ships themselves, which carry 90 days endurance in spare parts and other supplies. The second echelon is the Mobile Logistic Support Force which carries an- other 90 days' worth of supplies. Fuel and ammunition demands vary under different circumstances and are therefore furnished, as required, by delivery to the fleet at sea. Approximately every 30 days, one AF departs Norfolk loaded with a' resupply of provisions and technical and general stores known as FILL or Fleet Issue Load List for the Sylvania, as well as her own load of food and high vclume items such as soap, paint, rags, and cigarettes, to sustain 30,000 men for 30 days. The Fleet Issue Load List is recompiled every six months based on actual fleet demand experience. C Proceeding over 3,200 miles from Norfolk to Gibraltar and into the Mediterranean the AF rendezvous with the Sylvania, and commences the First Phase of .Resupply. During this resupply, the AF transfers frozen and fresh foods and general stores items, as requested, to the Sylvania, as well as taking on stock items and parts required of her during the forthcoming UNREP. Thus we have a general exchange of various logistic items between ships prior to the first scheduled UNREP The logistic replenishment cycle continues with the ioining up of one or more A0's and one or more AE's. The AE, AF, AFS and A0's traveling as a unit constitute the backbone-of the Underway Replenish ment group The location of the UNREPS are closely guarded secrets for obvious reason-our ships are most vulnerable during this period. Therefore the UNREP is normally combined with an Anti-Submarine.Warfare of Anti-Aircraft exercise, when possible The completion of the UNREP by no meanS terminates the Service Ship's iob, for now the AF and AFS must commence Phase Two of the resupply: ThIS phase consists of transferring the remaining portion of the general stores items from the AF to the SYLVANIA We of the Sylvania along with all other men of the Service Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet will continue to strive for newer methods, concepts and perfection. As long as our Navy controls the oceans of the world, we of the Service Force will provide Mobile Logistic SupD0ft anytime, anywhere on the High Seas. We reDfeS90t The Life Line of Seapower and we of the Sylvania are one of its most important strands I SERVICE TO THE SIXTH FLEETI' UNFOLDS DURING A RECENT VISIT TO MALTA.

Commander John T.'Williams, USN, Syl- vania's Executive Officer, hails from Gadsden, Alabama. Reporting aboard in July 1966 after teaching at the Naval War College, Commander Williams put polish on several areas of per- sonal concern - sports and public affairs. Serving aboard the USS AUCILLA CAO 563 and USS ROCKBRIDGE' CAPA 2385 as First Lieutenant, Commander Williams entered the General Line School, returning to the fleet as Executive Officer and Navigator of the USS INVESTIGATOR CAGR 97. His next command was the USS ESTEEIVI CIVISO 4385 as Com- manding Officer. A student at the U.S. Naval War College and later as an instructor for two years, Commander Williams reported aboard Sylvania as her second Executive Officer. Before entering the Navy in 1945, Com- mander Williams coached football, basketball, track and baseball at Jacksonville High School, Jacksonville, Alabama. ln Alabama-as a high school football player, Commander Williams captured the All- County and All-State fullback title during the late 1940's. Playing both offense and defense, Commander Williams captured the Little All American title in 1947, 1948 and 1949. ln 1947, as the leading ground gainer in the nation, Commander Williams averaged over 100 yards per game - 5.6 yards per attempt, and still retains the leading scorer record at 177 points. Voted All-Conference fullback in 1947-48-49 and 50, Commander Williams, a member of Kappa Phi Kappa, Phi Delta Kappa and Alpha Tau Omega, was voted Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities in 1950. lVlarried to the former Averill Parson of Talladega Alabama the Williams have a daugh ter Nerissa age 10 TWO BRAINS AT WORK AS LCDR ONALD BL.lSH AND CDR J.

With almost one-and-a-half million inhabitants, this is the city of Vesuvius,-of Capri and Sorrento,-of rodents,-of effervescent people who sing when they are happy, sad, or in love Ca primary time consumerJ,-- of Pizza and Peroni,-of Humpty-Dumpty and Commissary Mary, - of the port where SYLVANIA ties her mooring lines. Founded by Greek colonists during the seventh century B.C., the city derives itsname from the original community name NeopoIis ,C'neo - new, polls - cityl. It grew and prospered, and emerged as a center of Greek culture, even after the Roman invasion of the fourth century B.C. The great harbor area, dominated by the majestic Mount Vesuvio, became a favorite resort place for Roman aristocracy, and most of the more powerful statesmen built summer villas here. The fantasies of Pompeii and -Herculaneum are well known to all schoolboys long before they thinktof joining the Navy and ever having the opportunity to visit them. ' . A Naples was captured by the Byzantines in the sixth century A.D., following the fall of the Roman Empire, and later existed independently as the Duchy of Naples C763- 1139l. Then, with the Norman conquest, the state went to Roger ll who incorporated it into his Kingdom of Sicily. In 1266, the new dynasty of Charles I lost Sicily, and trans- ferred his capital to Naples. Four prominent buildings speak of this period of history. Castel DelI'0vo CCastle of the Eggl was erected on the rocky islet off the main promenade by William the Conquerer in 1128. Dominating the port area is the thirteenth century Castel Nuovo iNew Castlel, with its richly sculptured Renaissance triumphal arch. Castel Sant'Elmo has overlooked the city from its central hill since the fourteenth century. Across from it is the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, housing the National Library. One of the more historic cities in Southern ltaly is a suburb of Naples called Pozzuoli. It is claimed that far more Christians met their fate in the arena here than in the Coliseum of Rome. Still standing over the ancient cobblestones is the original arch Saint Paul walked through when he entered the city to preach. It was nearhere that the oracle Sybil prophesied from her cave. And the historic interest, intertused with the volcanic action of sulpher springs -and boiling mud pots, inspired Dante's description ...L 4- '-'-M ---?,-V ., .447 4, ,- -an 7 . L- 2 ff , , .

During the summer months, tourists from all over Europe come to see the River Styx and the Queen's Bedroom Chamber . The romance of the area was certainly overlooked when John Ruskin, the nineteenth century English writer and social critic, referred to Napoli as being, . . . the most loathsome nest of human caterpillars l was ever forced to stay in,-a hell with all the devils imbecile in it. Certainly the most disgusting place in Europe. But, like the Roman God lanus,-Naples wears two faces. One is soft with the patina of age, looking back on a truly remarkable 'past ,... and the other faces beyond the pre-war and war years towards a new, modern, vastly improving way of life. The Autostrada system rivals any highways in Europe, and most in America. The traffic in town rivals any in the world. Sort of a confused go-cart race, only the cars are smaller. Americans drive to avoid hitting other cars. ln Bella Napoli the attempt is to avoid being hit. Yet for the seeming lack of discipline and order, there is an espirit de corps which is over- whelming. At a teeming intersection the traffic seems to work its way through like a sieve, and the only times there are real traffic jams is when some policeman tries to direct matters. Through the forests of hanging laundry lead the pathways to gold alley , coffin alley , thieves alley , nativity alley , sweater alley , and the other intersections which teem with action from early morning until late afternoon, and then slowly quiet down until the only noises are the drifting tones of automobile horns out on the main roads, and the only action is a startled rat scurrying around the corner. Only on New Year's Eve are things different. This is the one day in the year when inhibition is unknown in italy. And the hour of midnight is the most dangerous time of all, despite being one of the most colorful. The fire-falls off the balconies, the roman candles, the millions of fire-crackers and noise makers, -all these cover the city with a thick smog of black-powder smoke. And bags, bottles, left-over Christmas trees, refrigerators, papers, old tires, et cetera cover the streets. Actually, the Americans may complain about the craze of throwing the garbage out the windows, but they are also among the maior contributors. , . l l l Whereas freedom of religion has long existed, 99N of the population is Catholic. Naples is the seat of an archbishop, and there are over 200 churches in the city. Some date as far back as the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with the majority being built or restored during the golden era of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies. Santa Chiara is perhaps the finest, being the church of royalty and nobility. The Cathedral houses the chapel of the patron saint, San Gennaro CSt. Januariusb. This prime example of seventeenth century Neopolitan art contains, among other relics, two vials of his blood which are said to boil twice per year. The Italian is also an extraordinary sports fan. Sunday is unanimously acclaimed to be the day for Church, Funerals, and Soccer. And all three are taken with equal sobriety. C Actually it is small cause for wonder that the Neopolitan does not drink much, his mind is continually in that condition which the northerner tries to induce by strong drink. - Peter Gunn, 19615 ln the new San Paolo Stadium, having a specified capacity for 80,000 Cbut usually crammed with 100,000 spectatorsb, and totally devoid of any plumbing facilities, the city locals cheer for their team against such rivals as Rome, Milan, and Genoa, - all fighting for the distinction of wearing the patch denoting them as the national cham- pions. And what happens in ltaly to the coach of the losing team? Last year his neighbors burned his house down. Edenlandia is ltaly's answer to Disneyland, and Naples seems to give its total approval. From the Cave, to the Enchanted Castle, over the immense Ferris Wheel, and back to the Cave again, the fleet makes its presence noticed. Other favorite amusement areas are the San Francisco, Cactus, El Morocco, and the Snake Pit. On a bright, windy day, the spray from the fountain creates a subdued rainbow over Piazza Nlunicipio. During the summer months, the green grass in front of the Castle is often covered with happy people, photographers, and the elaborate white wedding gowns of beaming new brides. The tourists in the horse-drawn carriages, the three- wheeled trucks winding in and out of traffic, and the smiling sidewalk vendors trying to sell Joe a new gold watch, or pen, or pictures of the scenic bay ,... but this is not unusual, we've seen it all before . . . this is our home port, Naples. - -' f 442 . ,MXH ,,,, rf WL 1 f nf ,, cm? , M fp A , 4 Q.- ,Ju Y fi f Q 7 f 150 . , K 86 ig' X x X- Q s N 1 'X 5 K 3' 4-ff .- - '.

From the seas did God water the face of the earth . . . and create . . . and sustain. And man has not forgotten. The Tigris- Euphrates, the Nile, the Aegean, - these were the elements which made life as we know it possible. These were the elements which brought man out ofthe caves and helped him master the world around him. Yet man has never been able to dom- inate the deep. Water has provided man with adventure, has broad- ened his horizons, has been his pathway to conquest. lt has torn apart his cities, but helped him rebuild them, . . . has destroyed his crops, but has put food on his tables, . . . has leveled mountains, yet has quieted his infant child. Water has been an in- escapable part of man since before he was born. ,,, J 7. .wana f f 'X ' mise - A-- - +. ,--.. .4-r ?' .gt fun ' . l kim ., x' il 3...... . 0, W 'Q 1, I ,'f'1,. fx Q.

KERWIN ENGINEERING H20 KNOTS-NO SMOKE . . . a familiar quotation to an engineer, it means maxi- mum performance with mini- mum expenditure and con- stant readiness ,... it means that literally, as well as figur- atively, the engineers keep the ship going. A Division repairs all aux- iliary equipment, maintains air conditioning refrigeration and all large machinery out- side of the engineroom, and cares for the heating and air- conditioning systems. E Division maintains com- munications throughout the Ship, the gyro compasses, the ship's order and indicat- ing systems, alarms, main power connections, lighting, elevators, electrical winch gear, gallery equipment, fork truck batteries, and the ex- change and presentation of movies. IVI Division keeps the main propulsion plant operating, - everything from the steam through the boilers to the screw through the water. It is responsible for the entire steam plant, including the generators, evaporators, etc. all fuel on board, and the quantity and quality of all water reserves. R Division under the basic headings of carpentry, ship fitters, and damage control, takes charge of repair lock- ers, emergency equipment, water-tight integrity, plumb- ing, fire main, metal work, insulation, and boat hull up- keep.

Helicopter Combat Sup- port Squadron received its long awaited commission on Friday, 1 September 1967. As a result, the squadron changed from HC-4 to HC-6 with perman- ent headquarters at Nor- folk. Before the commis- sioning, the Detachment operated out of Lakehurst. Both the officers and en- listed men of HC-6 spend approximately six months on board before returning to Norfolk for new duty. ln addition to vertical replenishment -the helos have enabled liberty call to go as scheduled in ports where rough seas prevent- ed utility and officer boat runs.

Captain lVlc- Vey, a native of Lambert, Mississippi, is married to the former Pamela Whitehurst de Leon. The lVlcVeys have a daughter, Linda, who is a student at William and Mary College and a son, William J McVey Ill a student at Frederick Military Academy Ports- mouth Virginia Captain McVey attended one year at Mississippi State University before entering the U S Naval Academy where he graduated H1 1943 His first tour of duty was aboard the USS CAPERTON CDD-6505 as CIC and Gunnery Officer Aboard the Cap- erton he participated in the cam- paigns in the Central and Western Pacific including the Marshalls Gil- berts Truk Mariannas Palau and the Philippines In 1945 LTJG McVey graduated from Flight School in Cor- pus Christi Texas and was desig- nated a naval aviator His first assign- ment as an aviator was with Flight Squadron 172 aboard the USS Ran- dolph during which he was promoted to Lieutenant - 7 7 , I 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 i Two years as flight instructor in the Advanced Training Command at Jacksonville and Corpus Christi was followed by orders to Carrier Air Group 101 as Operations Officer in 1950. Operating from the USS Boxer, Lieutenant McVey flew F4U Corsairs for the first two years of the Korean War. In 1952, he became Executive Officer of Fighter Squadron 721 oper- ating from the USS Kearsarge in Korean waters. Lieutenant McVey flew 116 combat missions in Korea, and was awarded the Air Medal on five oc- casions and received a letter of com- mendation from Commander Seventh Fleet. Lieutenant McVey's next duty ag- sigment was as project officer for development of aviation fire control systems at the Naval Ordnance Plant, Indianapolis, Indiana, during which time he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. In 1954, Lieutenant Commander McVey was a student at the Naval War College in Newport and upon graduation in 1955, joined the staff of Commander Naval Forces Far East as Air Operations Officer. In 1957, after duty as Flag Sec- retary for Commander Naval Forces Korea, Commander McVey com- manded Fighter Squadron 91 until 1959 when he was assigned to the Office of Chief of Naval Operations. In 1961, Commander McVey re- turned to fighters as Commanding Officer of Fighter Squadron 124, and from there in 1963 he was ordered to the National War College in Wash- ington, D.C. as a student. Promoted to Captain in 1963, Captain McVey joined the staff of Commander Carrier Division Two as Operations Officer. He embarked aboard the USS Enterprise when Nu- clear Task Force One made its famous world cruise. -Assuming command of Sylvania in January 1966, Captain McVey spent some 9,330 hours aboard this fast combat stores ship before being relieved by Captain A. J. Bartlett. Re- ceiving orders as Commanding Offi- cer, USS Intrepid - Captain McVey departed Sylvania on 7 April 1967, for his new command in the troubled Pacific.

Bartlett, shifted from a logistics mode to a salvage mode. ln early August the American Embassy in Athens, Greece, sent out an appeal to the U.S. Sixth Fleet for a helicopter capable of salvaging a downed Greek helicopter which had crashed on a remote mountain peak near the remote village of Kalarites Greece. Typical of the can do spirit aboard this fast combat stores ship Capt. A. J. Bartlett quickly called a conference to assess the feasibility of Sylvania providing one of her UH 46D Boeing Vertol aircraft to do the job. The operation began to roll as charts and maps were evaluated pinpointing the location of the crash site in treacherous mountain ter rain, some 3700 feet above sea level - ----- -A - Vw, ,,.

The strategy involved was com- plex as the crash site was located in rugged mountainous terrain, some 3700 feet above sea level. The crashed Greek helicopter had been on an errand of mercy, carrying Greek government officials investi- gating earthquake damage in this re- mote, five hundred-year-old pictur- esque village. The salvage party, assisted by the village people of Kalarites, worked for nearly two hours in pre- paring the main section, the 3500 pound fuselage, for the 16 mile ver- tical lift to the loannina Airport.

Conceived as a program to recognize, on a monthly basis, an outstanding enlisted man, the pro- gram has proven to be extremely suc- cessful. Each monthly winner has re- ceived three days basket leave, a check for 5525.00 from the Welfare and Recreation Fund, a Sailor of the lVlonth Certificate and a plaque in rec- ognition of proven leadership and dedication to duty. SN Charles W. lVlayfield from Sec- ond Division was voted the first Sail- or of the lVlonth for June 1967. Born 25 September 1946 in Youngstown, Ohio, SN Mayfield graduated from Oustinton Fitch High School in 1964. He later completed two semesters studying mathematics at Youngstown University while working a full-time job at Youngstown Steel Door Com- pany. SN lVlayfield reported to Syl- vania in November, 1966. IVlayfield was described by his division officer, LTJG R. V.

Martin from R-Divi- sion as July's Sailor of the Month. Martin, who joined Sylvania prior to commissioning, hails from Upper Montclair, New Jersey. A graduate of Montclair High School, the Dam- age Controlman Third Class admir- ably filled the billet of Damage Con- trol Chief when Chief Genz was trans- ferred on 2 June 1967. LCDR J. W. Leech, Engineering Department Head stated: ln filling the Damage Con- trol Chief billet, Martin has effective- ly taken charge of the Carpenter Shop and assumed the responsibility for the damage control equipment aboard. Without interruption he has continued to provide outstanding ser- vice on the work requests submitted to the Carpenter Shop while main- taining the damage control equip- ment on a scheduled basis. Chief Commissaryman H. T. Kim- mey captured the August Sailor of the Month Award. LTCjgJ D. L. Stal- lings, Kimmey's Division Officer stated: Aboard Sylvania, Chief Kim- mey has proven himself an able and imaginative Senior Commissaryman. Under his direction, the general mess has produced consistently excellent meals. And every Friday night, the mess decks glow with candlelight as Chief Kimmey and his men honor a different division with a special feast. Also, under his direction, such events as the end of LOGREP dinners and Sylvania's birthday celebration have become memorable affairs. Because of his leadership, ability and profes- sional talents, Chief Kimmey enjoys the admiration and respect of all who work with him, and because of his high spirits and ebullient good hu- mor, he bolsters the morale of every- one around him. BM1 Mike Tomosovich was nomi- nated and selected by the Board as September's Sailor of the Month. LTCjgJ Paul J. Cunningham, Second Division Officer stated: ln his two and one half years aboard Sylvania, Tomosovich has been the backbone of the Second Division as one of the mainstays of the Deck Department. Professionally, his knowledge of his rate is unexcelled and his leadership of the division has been outstanding at all times. The October Sailor of the Month award went to YN3 Gary L. Young. LTCjgD P. L. Findlay, Personnel Offi- cer had this to say about Young's performance: Recently, in mid-June, the Sylvania found herself in receipt of a new first class yeoman and a new Personnel Officer. The most recent experiences of both had been work- ing in fields only remotely related to the administrative functions of the Sylvania. Young volunteered his own time for a period of one month to act as mentor to the new hands on the office staff. While providing outstand- ing guidance in the many novelties and quirks of administration on a per- manently deployed ship, including such areas as TLA and COLA and housing administration, Young con- tinued to perform the duties of lead- ing yeoman-a chief's billet- in a manner that has enabled Sylvania to pass through a critical transition- al time without any slackening in the pace of operations or mistakes. HM3 Calvin D. Roberts from H- Division captured the SOM award for November 1967. Born 15 March 1944 in Fort Worth, Texas, Roberts enlisted in the Navy during his senior year in high school -- completing his sec- ondary school requirements while in the military service. Reporting to Syl- . - - -. X .-.Lu-.-sa. L - vania in October 1966, he Pmved himself to be a thoroughly Competefzt hospital corpsman. Doctor S. L. Mi - Ier had these comments to make OH HM3 Roberts: During 'flle P351 Sum' mer months there was neither a Chief nor Medical Officer aboard -- though Roberts continued to run the.Medical Department with capable actions and the mature use of medical capabili- ties. He is relied upon and depended upon by the crew - the mark of an outstanding Corpsman. A Christmas present for CS1 Franklin T. Swindell was the Decem- ber selection as Sailor of the Month. Swindell, a, tall portly man with a neatly trimmed moustache and a good sense of humor is well known for his magnificently decorated cakes. Before entering the service, CS1 Swin- dell worked as a lumberjack in the forests of North Carolina, his home state. His first tour of military duty was with the Army as a field artillery man. Spending many years in the At- lantic Fleet-Swindell met his wife in Italy and learned to speak fluent Italian. Meeting on 6 January 1968- the Sailor of the Month selection board nominated SN Anthony Difazio as their selection for the monthly award. Sn Difazio was born in a lit- tle town in Italy, Pinznatare lntermina, which is approximately 40 miles from Naples. He lived there from 1947 to 1958 and attended schools through the fifth grade. In 1958 Difazio's fam- ily moved to Queens, New York where he completed grades six through ten. Difazio hopes to complete his high school education while in the U.S. Navy. Difazio's Division Officer, ENS. E. C. Pappas had these comments to make on the First Division seaman: Difazio requested duty on the Syl. vania to be close to his relativm, the moment Difazio reported a g he showed an extraordinary desire tg learn all new facets of his rate. Quick. ly learning most of the techniques of material transfer, Difazio now spends much of his time helping new men learn their rate. MM3 Julian Ray Harris captured the second Sailor of the Month award in 1968. The February Sailor of the Month stands duty Machinist Mate in port and underway Harris stands low- er level pump room watches. LCDR Leech, the Engineering Department head stated: Harris generates good morale and has long proven himself an asset to the Engine Room and the Engineering Department. HN Edward L. Vaughan captured the March SOM award. The H-Divi- sion Hospital Corpsman hails from St. Petersburg, Florida. After three years at the University of Illinois, where he majored in Industrial Design, Vaughan broke with family tradition - both his father and his older brother being career Coast Guard - and joined the Navy in 1966, vol- unteering for Hospital Corps Sch00l- During his initial assignment to the Occupational Therapy Ward at USNH Great Lakes, Vaughan suffered sev- eral attacks of Acute Pericarditis, but refused to be medically surveyed fr0m the service on any disability, after a trial period on restricted activities, he was again returned to full duty, and in the summer of 1967 arrived aboard the Sylvania. Although initially 3SSIgl:l' ed to duties commensurate with l'lIS rate in Sick Bay, HN Vaughan lm' mediately demonstrated the skills and potential of Hospital Corpsmen rated at much higher levels. Within a short time he had taken over duties as X' ray Technician, Ward and Sick call Corpsman, Microbiology and An- alysis Laboratory Technician and con- tributed fully to the overall adminis- trative duties necessary to the smooth functioning of the Sick Bay. Dr. S. L. lVliller had these comments to offer on HN Vaughan: He's the type of person who needs never be given a direct order. All tasks whether directly assigned or not, are anticipated and willingly carried out in advance, and he frequently works far past usual working hours on his own. With abili- ties to knowledgably and accurately carry out all para-medical functions he has enabled the Sick Bay to func- tion to its absolute material potential in providing all ancillary adjuncts to proper medical diagnosis. T SK1 Donald E. Burbach won the nomination for April. The S-1 Division storekeeper reported aboard Sylvania in July 1967 and has maintained the position of supervisor of the Ship's Supply Support Section. Burbach's primary duties have been related to accounting for the operating funds allocated to each department and to the ordering and expediting of the direct support material requirements of each department. LCDR S. H. Kap- lan, Assistant Supply Officer offered these comments concerning SK1 Bur- bach: Burbach has been a signifi- cant influence in improving the ef- fectiveness of his area. His ability to rapidly respond to each department's material needs has significantly re- duced the amount of down-time on shipboard equipment resulting in an increased state of readiness for Syl- vania as a whole. His accurate and prompt accounting of the limited funds available to the ship has given each department an effective tool with which to properly program ex- penditures on a planned and continu- ing basis. Thus at publication time-11 well deserving AFS-2 men have cap- tured the title of Sylvania Sailor of the Month-these men are prime examples of dedicated leaders - outstanding men of the Service Force. 'MEDAL 4 . Commodore Louis K. Tuttle, Commander Ser- vice Force Sixth Fleet presented Captain Albert J. Bartlett, Commanding Officer, USS Sylvania CP-FS' -25 on May 4, 1967 at Caracciolo Harbor, Naples' with a certificate of commendation and medal for outstanding contributions during his assignment to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Department of Defense, Washington, D.C.

Bartlett, in the Mediterranean. Nelson, a native of Roanoke, Virginia, began his radio career in 1963, working the Virginia-Maryland circuit- eventually hitting a variety of stations. Though Steve began with a country and western outfit, he has also worked for hard rock , rhythm and blues , and middle of the road stations. He's a professional in every sense of the word. Smile when you can, is one of Nelson's mottos and it has paid off for the Third Division FTGSN. Nel- son devised for WAFS Radio what is known in the radio world as a program log and it covers a wide variety of listening pleasure. Under the new set-up, WAFS Radio follows a schedule that begins at 1600 daily with very light rock -artists such as Sinatra and Streis- and. At 1655 it's sports , followed at 1700 by A Date With Chris . 1755 picks up with five more minutes of sports news. At 1800, The Steve Nelson sound expands the contemporary circuit, playing Hcountry and middle of the road music followed by the news at 1830. Contemporary music spins again at 1835 with Sports Listening Post at 1855. 1900 brings the nice smooth sounds of contemporary music back to the listener's ear. 1930 is reserved for news, fol- lowd by Original Sound Track at 1935. 1955 brings on the last sports cast of the evening followed at 2000 with nice smooth sounds . Sign off time is 2200 nightly. You never play anything you like- play what you dislike , is a second motto of Nelson's. Steve recog- nizes the wide variety of tastes existing aboard Sylvania -his aim is high and with the assistance of ENS1. 1. Feeney, Station llllanager, and Jerry Paxton, Assistant lock, Nelson has his programming in full control. The Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, coupled with the present library of music at WAFS Radio has enabled a wide variety of listening pleasure. Nelson hasn't stopped here, though. Past experience and contacts have gone to work and Nelson has contacted several sources for free promotional record- ings. All circuits are go aboard the AFS2-the fast combat stores ship homeported in Naples, ltaly. WAFS Radio is on the air .

Robert- e resent officer in charge of son -U1 P , ' ' , HC-6. Detachment 97 is composed of six to eight pilots and thirteen enlisted men. Operating two UH-46D Boeing Vertol helos, the Air Detachment, with its VER- TREP concept, has enabled Sylvania to cut the load-time transfer of cargo well over fifty per cent. A ril 1967 the air detachment ln p - logged its 1500th landing aboard USS Sylvania when Scooter 4 touched down on April 29th. The landing com- pleted the underway replenishment schedule for the month of April in which Detachment 97 vertically replenished over 485 tons of cargo to twenty-two ships of the United States Sixth Fleet.

Every year midship- men from the U. S. Naval Academy and NROTC units from universities across the country spend six weeks of their sum- mer on a training cruise with the fleet. They serve on every type of ship in the Navy, wherever the U. S. flag flies. Many are assigned to ships in the Mediterranean. The fast combat stores ship USS Sylvania had twelve midshipmen aboard this past summer. When they arrived on board, 12 June, the midshipmen were integrated into the life of the ship. Intensive shipboard training prepared them for the day when they will be commissioned o icers. i - N l , . - knowledge At sea the college seniors applied their clasSf0':mlnformation and gained practical experience ' the F 022513 Deck D6Pa t' Center, Radio Central, Engineering, SUDPIY Ort they stood ments, in addition to bridge watcheS. n gf the deck and quarterdeck watches, assisting as officers k hel ed out with out duties.
