The sword, a symbol of nautical boldess and courage, alludes to the presentation of a saber by the United States Congress to Midshipman Thorn for his exploits during the Tripolitan War. The crossed cannons represent both the battles of the Tripolitan War and those of the previous USS THORN QDD-6473 in World War II. The orle of mullets Cborder of starsj refer to the seven battle stars awarded to the previous USS THORN for her service during World War II. The porcupine represents a creature well able to defend itself against attacks by the use of its quills, thus symbolizing the capacity of USS THORN. Thus, the ship's motto as extracted from William Shakespeare,s HAMLET: SHARPLY PERSEVERANT--like the quills of the fretful porcupine. R J Lieutenant Jonathan T horn, USN I1 779-18112 Jonathan Thorn was born on January 8, 1779 in Schenectady, New York. The son of an American Revolution veteran, he entered the Navy on April 28, 1800 and was assigned the position of midship- man. On January 20, 1802, Mid- Shipman Thorn was attached to the frigate John Adams, part of a squadron commissioned under Captain Richard W. Morris. The squadronis first assignment sent Midshipman Thorn to the Mediter- ranean, challenging Barbary Pirates who were demanding tributes from American ships for the right to travel the high seas. His time on John Adams was followed by service on the U.S.S. Enterprise and U.S.S. Constitution, both part of a blockade off the coast of Tripoli. While serving on Enterprise, Midshipman Thorn was hand selected by Lieutenant Stephen Decatur to take part in the capture and eventual destruction of the U.S. frigate Philadelphia, an American asset that had run aground off the coast of Tripoli and fallen into the hands of the Tripolitans. The exploits of Decatur and his crew were hailed by Lord Nelson as 'tthe most bold and daring act of the age? Midshipman Thorn was promoted to acting lieutenant on November 7, 1803, by order of Captain Edward Preble. On August 3, 1804, Lieutenant Thorn commanded a gunboat during Constitution's bombardment of the City of Tripoli. As commander of Boat No. 4, he was recognized by both Captain Decatur and Captain Preble for his great bravery and meritorious service. - On June 6, 1806, Lieutenant Thorn was apinted the first commandant of the New York Navy Yard at the age of 27, the youngest oficer ever to command a United States Navy Yard. Lieutenant Thorn was tragically killed by Indians in June of 1811 while furloughed to John Jacob Astoris Pacific Fur Company, trading furs in what is now the state of Oregon. He was 32.

The ST's operate and maintain antisubmarine Warfare sensors and equipment While the TM,s are responsible for the operation, maintenance and employment of the ship's torpedoes. During Med 2- 93 and POMOREX '94, CA Division was instrumental in operations outside their areas of expertise. By assisting in boarding operations during Operation Sharp Guard, CA Division played a vital role in the boarding and subsequent diversion of numerous merchants inbound to the former Yugoslavia. Several Sonar Technicians also manned radio circuits in CIC, providing invaluable support to staff members of COMSTANAVFORMED as THORN assumed the duties of flagship to Commodore Alistair B. Ross of the Royal Navy. And as always, CA Division maintained constant control of the ASW picture, keeping THORN safe from the threat beneath the surface. 'fa- -....,, Qs: Q ,QM . f ' 243.524 .

CF Division's systems of responsibility cover both the Anti-Air and Anti-Surface Warfare arenas. The NATO Sea Sparrow missile system serves as THORN,s primary defense against enemy air attacks. The Harpoon cruise missile is a vital asset in THORN's anti-ship defense. The MK 86 fire control system provides critical targeting data to THORN's 5 inch!54 caliber gun mounts. Finally, the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System CCIWSJ serves as THORN's last line of defense against an inbound missile or aircraft. During Med 2-93 all Weapon systems were manned around the clock, maintaining the highest levels of readiness in defense of possible real world contingencies while operating in the Adriatic Sea. The warriors of CF Division were also credited with developing a unique form of helo hanger whiffle ball, providing the crew with another form of recreation that proved to be a big morale booster. .

While operating in the Adriatic Sea, CG Division maintained a critical component of THORN,s defense against hostile contingen- cies. All .50 caliber and M-60 machine guns stood constantly ready to take on all threats, specifically small boats attempting to disrupt the embargo. .50 caliber machine gun operators were also on station during all boardings of merchant vessels, providing protection for both the boarding team and boat crew. Finally, THORN's 5 inchl54 caliber gun mounts performed flawlessly during exer- cises with NATO allied units, answering all Mquick drawsi' with fast, accurate response times. f,, Ai Y 1 1 5 Mlm ENS M.

Dennie 46 NX Divi ion NX division represents the most diverse group of sailors onboard T HORN, the skills of each member critical to the success of a fighting warship. During Med 2-93 the Quartermaster CQMJ team successfully navigated waters previously foreign to most of the Command, including the En- glish Channel and Straits of Messina. During POMOREX '94, the navigation team directed THORN's transit of icy waters, north of the Arctic Circle, safely and without incident. THORN's Hospital Corpsmen CHMJ provided invaluable expertise throughout the deployment, treating injuries and illnesses ranging from the common cold to those much more serious. During POMOREX '94, the medical team provided cold weather training that allowed the crew to operate in subzero temperatures with zero cold weather casualties. The Yeomen CYNJ and Personnelmen CPNJ of the Ship's Office provided all of their services in a timely, flawless manner, supporting the administrative needs of every member on board. THORN's Master-at-Arms CMAQ, Navy Counselor CNCJ and Postal Clerk CPCJ also played vital roles in the quality of life of every member on board. Without the hard work of NX Division, THORN could not have enjoyed the effective services that allow her to operate successfully on a day to day basis. -'awww EMCSISWJ D.

Ocean frosty white with rage As she sails to the North, a small city. Over and upon this fury She rolls somberly. For her His fierce hand Holds no gentle caress. Over the ponderous frothing swells She bounds mountains, With a crashing crackle And the rumble of thunder. From her bow bursting forth A volley of foam is unleashed Which engulfs the Bullnose And is released. While racing across the snowcaps Raves the harsh currents of bliss, Slamming into her starboard, Phasing her might to no avail. Then comes the mist, Atomized it showers her skin As salt crystals dance Upon her foamy decks. Colored hues of a rainbow Are formed to her port, Cast by a swirling blur Whose prismatic essence distorts. Pitches up and down. Lists side to side.

Bozeman Only one month after returning to Charleston from Med 3-93, THORN sailed back across the Atlantic to participate in POMOREX '94, an exercise hosted by the Norwegian Navy. Designed to exercise ships and their crews in maritime inter- diction tactics, embargo operations and search-and-rescue CSARJ skills, POMOREX proved to be an historical moment in Russian-American relations, marking the first time in the post-Cold War era that warships from both nations operated jointly for a common cause. CDR Robert D. Conrad, THORN's commanding officer, said, POMOREX '94 showed the world that two former potential enemies can work together toward a common goal, and do it successfully. Should the political situation allow for it, I 7 have no doubt that the applications of good communications and seamanship found in both the United States and Russian navies would ensure the success of any fu- ture joint military endeavor at sea?
