THE BACKBONE OF THE NAVY Since the lnetczinninii ei the Navy, the Chief Petty Oflicers have been responsible for the actual care and maintenance ol the ship. ln their various trades, each is a master. He has spent his entire naval career in that particular held, and whenever a problem arises, it is to him that officers and crew alike turn for advice and instruction. He is responsible for the direct supervision ol the men under him, and the burden of training these men rests primarily on his shoulders. Walker has fifteen chief petty officers aboard and it is with pride that we point to their outstanding accomplishments in making our ship the best in the Fleet. lm'P-- GUNNERY DEPARTMENT The Gunnery Department of WALKER, is composed of the three divisions, First, Second, and Fox Division. During the past cruise, this department has been responsible for the maintenance of all guns, ASW gear and . the appearance of the exterior of the ship. Their excellence in carrying out their duties is shown by the various E s on the mounts and directors and by the outstanding appearance of the ship. Not to be V neglected is the iob done by the ASW team in the various Hunter Killer Exercises that the ship has participa- ted in. The Deck Force of Walker is the mainstay of the ship. No task has been too great for them, nothing has been too small for their attention to detail. The Walker's reputation for being the smartest ship in the fleet is proof of their industry. Whether refueling, replenishing, lowering boats, planeguarding, dropping the anchor or doing the less glamorous iobs of cleaning, chipping or painting, the Boatswain's Mates and seamen never fail to achieve their H Well Done on an outstanding job. The Cannon Cockersu of WALKER rate as the best gunners of any fleet. Their devotion to duty has been exemplified in their consistant ability and tireless efforts to keep the guns ready for all commitments. Although the men of the second division are all designated gunner's mates or strikers, their knownledge extends by necessity, for beyond the limits of their rate. There must be a little of the fire controlman, the shipfitter, and the electrician in everyone of them---and there is. WAl.KER's Fox Division is second to none in technical knowledge and the will to get iobs done. This division whose responibilities include the operation and maintenance of all fire control, sonar, gunnery and torpedo installations, has never failed to insure WALKER's ability to fulfill all commitments at her typically high tradition ol readiness.

OPERATION DEPARTMENT In fulfilling its mission to serve command H, the Operation Department has earned for WALKER, fleet wide reputation as a smart, aggressive organization. The green HEI' which is so proudly displayed from fhe sides of the Signal Bridge is the symbol of excellence in the areas of ship maneuvering communications and I electronic material maintenance. The CIC watches have made every efiort to effectively act as the operational eyes and ears of the ship. ln tracking air, surface and submarine contacts, the radarmen have accumulated knowledge of the most important aspects of naval operations. The messages, both visual and radio, which have been processed by the signal and radio gangs number I over lO0,000. The continuing high performance of around the clock watches in port and at sea have I I played no small roll in the high state of operational readiness of which WALKER so proudly boasts But the Electronic devices, such as radars and radios, do not operate in an excellent mqnner Without expert technical maintenance and repair. The ET's are the men behind the operational scene whose perform- ance and know-how have made it possible for WALKER to always N Do the Job H OC DIVISION 'sl . if XJ 'ff Q . 'I . .1 ...an 'nn .

Through yhis will fo do G igb Well Done no single casulty could prevent the ship from meeting its Il 'nitiative enthusiasm and highly competitive spirit of committments. d I 086 705 allons of fuel oil, and distilled I,082,234 During this cruise, we steamed 3I,602 miles, burne , , Q , , . ll ll gallons of water. These facts alone prove that the Engineering Department is a Can Do outfit. No other ship in our division can boast these facts. Water hours were never established even though our boilers used over 50 percent of the meager ration the evaporators produce. The generators never ceased to twine, the boilers never ceased to generate steam, and the engines never failed to answer any bell received. The gyro always pointed north, the rudder always trailed behind, and the shaft locking device was left at SRF, Yokosuka. E Repair work was accomlished as soon as a repair iob existed. The shipfitters repaired everything from closets to desks, the repairmen overhouled valves of any size, and the electricians handled every thing from light bulbs to rewiring the electric systems in the ship's boats. I With this outstanding spirit, the Engineering Department remains the best in the Division, the best in the Squadron, and the best in the Fleet. Our return to Pearl will be undertaken with the same Zeal and enthusiasm that kept us steaming for five months in WESTPAC.

SUPPLY DEPARTMENT The mission ofthe Supply Department of Walker is to provide the maximum service possible to the command, the ship, and the crew, to the end that a significant contribution to the attainment of maximum fighting efficiency has been made. Pursuant to the accomplishment of this mission, it is the responsibility of the Supply Department to procure for the various departments the materials necessary to the discharge of their assigned functions, to pay and Feed personnel, to maintain a ships store, to provide laundry and barber services, to maintain prescribed records and to render pertinent reports and returns. During our cruise, the galley prepared over I30,000 well planned, nutritious, and tasty meals, the paymaster disbursed over iiSI50,000.00, the store sold Sl5,000.00 worth of sundries, toiletries, foreign merchandise and a multitude of other items, the laundry processed more than II5,000 items of clothing, the barber gave us over 2,000 haircuts, and the supply office processed 2,500 requisitions and purchase orders for provisions, paint, soap, general stores, spare parts, ships store stock and all the necessary items to provide logistic support for the ship.

You have seen the men that we work with and for. You have seen the places we have visited and the ship we sail. We hope in some small way, we have enabled you to share our experiences and io better understand why we, the men of Walker, lake pride in our ship andthe mission to which we have been assigned.
