It is a chronicle of a brief seven month period in the life spans of the two hundred fifty officers and men who lived together, worked together, played together, suffered together, rejoiced together. it is a history of how one group of men, whose homes are spotted across the width and breadth of these United States, were molded into a most effective team to operate and maintain one ship in the United States Navy. A navy ship is always beautiful and impressive. She inspires awe in all who see her for the first time. .-Xview of her commands our respect. WASHBURN -utilitarian, unglamorous and old-is no exception. She is a veteran and she is tough. The men you see here, many not as old as the ship they man, are intensely proud of her. Even more important they are proud that they measure up to the high standards set by the thousands of navymen who have preceded them in W,XSliBURN. These men are the Navy. They are the WASHBURN. They are the intangible force that will insure that our country remains strong and a power in the quest for peace. May you ever be proud to lcnow them or to have been one of them. God bless them all. ffl , ,. If N fl ! iff' If K! XXV. A' if V ,Z J 1 22 XX' EXECUTIVE OFFICER Irwin H. Seligman Lieutenant Commander United States Navy Irwin H.

The men are always found painting, lowering and hoisting boats, stowing cargo, line handling, or talking about the vast number of jobs they have. Their work never ends. For their excellent care and maintenance of the ship and for the many services they perform, First Division personnel should be well awarded for all their efforts.

Ami The Engineering Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of almost all machinery and electrical equipment on the ship. lt is also responsible for all boat engines and electrical systems. In addition, the Engineering Department makes repairs to other equipment when such repairs are beyond the capability of the division responsible for the equipment. The Engineering Department is headed by the Engineer Officer and is divided into four divisions according to the type of work and rates involved. A Division is res onsible for all auxiliary machinery aboard ship. A Division is headed by the Auxiliaries Officer ant? normally contains about twenty Enginemen and strikers. They maintain and repair the boat engines, steering gear, evaporators, refrigeration system, emergency diesel fire pumps, emergency diesel generator, the steam heating system, the galley and laundry equipment, and all deck Winches. The men of A Division have kept all the boats running and in excellent condition throughout the cruise. For this and their many other accomplishments, they deserve a well done . E 'Division contains all of the Electricians and Interior Communications Technicians. Under the Electrical Officer, it is resppnsible for the maintenance and repair of all electrical machinery and systems on the ship, With about fifteen men, they keep the ship's service generators, pump motors, vent motors, movie machines, gyro compasses, boat VAUGHAN, R.S. electrical systems, interior communications systems, and much Yeoman other electrical gear in peak operating condition. There is very little on a ship that does not involve the men of E Division, and their constant attention to details has been rewarded by a very low proportion of down time. R Division has an endless task of making repairs to piping systems, decks, bulkheads, boat hulls, etc. Any job that requires - cutting or welding, be it stopping a leak in a shower to replacing a section ofadeck, is uickl and efficientl done b R Division longer , is an apt description of their attitude. ln addition to repair work, R Division also maintains all firefighting and damage control equipment. No matter what it is that breaks, R Division can usually be found working on it. With all this work, R is one of the smallest divisions on the ship, numbering only about ten men. M 81 B Division is the largestin the Engineering Department, q y y Y - ,:r -'f' ' The difficult we do immediately.

Operations Department is concerned with many aspects of the ship's routine, including communications, collection of intelligence, electronic repair, and postal service. Its primary mission is the gathering of information vital to the operation of the ship, and the timely dis- semination of this information to decis ion-making individuals aboard. lt is the nerve center of the ship. To accomplish its function as gatherer and disseminator it is organized in four divisions which work together as a team OC Division is responsible for all electronic com munications With the radio gear installed aboard the Washburn, the radiomen are able to communicate with the ship alongside or across an ocean OS Division is concerned with visual communications including flaghoist flashing light infra red, and semaphore OE Division performs the very necessary task of keeping the ship's electronic equipment in operational condition through repair and maintenance Ol Division is made up of radarmen who are responsible for the collection, evaluation, and dis semination of information gained from the sh1p's radar Not directly connected with the Department's primary mission of collection and dissemination of information, the pos tal clerk performs another function, tha t f maintaining morale by providing mail service to the ship s company and embarked troops The Operations Department serves the Washburn willingly and with interest its tasks are many and sometimes great, however no challenge goes unaccepted, no Job is too large Like the Washburn, we are a can do outfit LCDR F.

Led by Chief Occiano, the yeomen and personnelmen perform their work efficiently, and the paperWOfk seldom piles up---just once a day! However they attack it with a joy known only to them, and S0011 the pile is whittled down to size. Current Fleet and Ship's Instructions and Notices must be kept up to date and filed in proper order for easy references. The Ship's Office is the location of the IN and OUT basket of the ship. Correspondence is constantly flowing in and out ina never-ending stream. As new personnel arrive they bring with them- letters, records, reports test results, forms, blanks, all of which are quickly and efficiently processed through the IN basket. As information changes or as people leave the OUT basket is soon heaped high. Such important details as leave time, rotation dates, personal history, and service history, all become part of the work load, and all is handled meticulously and with dispatch, Without the office, the whole ship would bog down in the sea of Paper, but we can safely leave all of the sailing to the competent hands of the Ship's Office.

DIVISICDN The main function of the Quartermaster Gang is to see that the ship is heading in the right direction, and at the right time. To this end they may be found topside at all hours of the day or night, taking navigational bearings or radar fixes. They also conduct daily gunnery exercises 1 such as shooting the Sun, Moon, or distant stars, to obtain.the ship's location by celestial navigation. The safe passage of the ship up a narrow channel or through crowded sealanes is the job of the Navigator, Lt. Beecher. He isably assisted by the quartermasters and Chief Ggdon in carefully plotting the ships position for ready reference by the Captain. At times fixes are needed every minute, and this requires much teamwork. Long before we leave for a new port, the men of N Division are hard at work preparing the courses and speeds to be followed. Their diligence has paid off as we have never anchored in the wrong port or run aground. McLeod, Brownell, Lt.

Nevertheless it is the desire of the Navy to provide her men With an opportunity to worship. lt was once a custom for the ship's captain to conduct a service in the absence of a chaplain. In today's Navy every ship has men assigned by the Commanding Officer to carry out the duties of Protestant and Catholic layleaders. The Catholic Layleader reads P-, the appropriate Scriptures and leads his congregation in the praying of the Rosary, In like manner the Protestant Layleader conducts a service of the Protestant tradition. . The WASHBURN layleaders have per- formed their tasks With enthusiasm and Christian dedication. Services of worship have been enriched with organ music and anthems presented by the Ship's Choir..

While there the ship quickly refueled, and those that could went ashore. Some got no farther than the EM club where a record amount of brew was consumed. The officers finally succeeded in having the O Club opened up, and there they spent a pleasant morning refreshing themselves. Other more adventurous types went swimming in the warm cove and dived for coral. Some borrowed bicycles and toured around the island. Those of us who were new to Midway at first thought that the island was populated with small long-nosed people. But we soon learned that this was not so. These small long-nosed little people were really Gooney Birds, the nemisis of all airdales. They have no fear of aircraft, and sometimes find themselves plastered on the windshield of an incoming jet. Their great wings allow them to fly gracefully for miles at sea and days on end, When taking off they flap their wings and pant like mad while running down the beach towards the sea. Eventually, usually, they pick up sufficient speed and become airborne, Sometimes they don't, and have to slam on the brakes, causing them to summersault down the sand. lf they look friendly and docile, this is only an illusion. Their beak is very formidable, and when picked up they tend to become annoyed as some found out. 58 Just before sailing time, many realized that they hadn't taken full advantage of the warm, clear water in the bay. Alack of swim suits proved no deterrence, however, and soon the bay was churning with half of the crew in the uniform of the day. Oh well, what's a little salt water to a sailor? -5 i C gig, Yifgfg, I vm.

Two WASHBURN sailors appear to be soaking up a little Spanish culture. This is afamiliar sight for all servicemen in Subic - the Main Gate to the base. Outside this gate lies the fragrant metropolis of Olongapo, known for her neon lights, bustling taxis, and holiday atmosphere. interesting shops line the boulevards and sidewalks where vendors peddle their wares. This thriving city in the Philippines has seen as many as 12,000 servicemen at one time. But no matter how crowded the streets become, contact can always be made with the Shore Patrol. The curfew is strictly enforced and this gate is closed from one to five in the morning. Olongapo will remain one of the unforgetable ports in West Pac. The U,S, Naval Base at Subic Base is the only base that the United States Navy has in the Western Pacific. The bas e is strategically located near the troublesome hotspots in the Southeast. The harbor itself is frequently filled with ships of amphibious, destroyer, and cruiser types. The cruiser CANBERRA QCAG-25 makes an impressive sight as 'she rests along-side Alava Wharf. Ships from foreign countries visit this huge base quite often. I-l,M,S, KENT a British guided missile destroyer visited the port during the WASHBURN'S stay there. Subic Bay was not visited too often by the WASHBURN during her tour in West Pac due to the extended operations, Around noon many WASI-IBURN sailors can be seen crossing the quarterdeck on their way to the Main Exchange. The exchange is not too far away by jeepney and bus and is a popular buying place for West Pac goods The services offered at the exchange are varied enough to meet most of the base residents' needs This particular photo captured four members of our crew at the bus exchange area near the main gate O O .

Hong Kong is a chief point of exit and entry for the Communist-dominated China main- land. The colony comprises an area of approximately 392 square miles and includes the island of Hong Kong and a section of the mainland which is divided between Kowloon and the New or leased territories. The principle business area is located on the island of Hong Kong in the City of Victoria, which is commonly called Hong Kong, The population is approximately 3.5 million, the largest proportion being the one million refugees who have fled to Hong Kong since l9-19 when the Communists completed their seizure of the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong is an island between two worlds where opposing ideologies, cultures, and races live together for mutual financial gain. However the endless stream of refugees that continues Q0 pour into the colony from Communist China IS a reminder that Hong Kong is at the edge of a whirl ool which at any time could swallow the islan . The richest jewel in the British Crown, Hong Kong is a city of immense wealth and grandeur, a city of bargains, a splendor of sights Peak Tram, Hong Kong and sounds, a city of noise, honking cabs, and peoples of many nationalities such as Mongol, lndian, British, Xlalay and Iiurasian.

The l-A crews, and boat crews loaded up our boats and took them ashore without incident. .Ns the dumping point was some distance up the river, it gave us a good chance--our only chance--to examine this former French town and the local people. The uniform of the day among the populace seemed to be a round dish-like straw hat, and clothes of a black silky material. Some were barefoot and others wore sandals. The only indica- tion of any hostility in Viet Nam was the presence of Marines, helicopters, and the high-speed patrol craft. The crews of these boats, as well as the Marines, looked every bit the professional soldier, something we tried to emulate in the few days of our short stay. --3 Y DA NANG During a changing read- iness posture we were able to pay a brief visit to the country of South Viet Nam. We anchored in the Bay of Tourane one morning just as the sun was rising, Monkey Mountain was still covered in its nightly robes of mist and fog. The Bay was filled with small fishing boats, their sails hauled down, and riding at anchor. The whole View was one of peace and calm. lt was hard to imagine that there was a war going on in the country not tar from the town of Da Nang, our off-loading point. 12 , 4 -.J'3'- fdtiifgas-s-M sf Unlike other Westpac ports, Bangkok is located several miles inland, on the Menam Chao Phrya, or Bangkok River. The trip took ap- proximately three hours, and we were at sea and anchor detail the whole trip, probably a record for manning those stations. The river' was fairly narrow and silty, but the Captain and the Pilot efficiently conned the ship to our berth just South of the city of Bangkok. I When we 'came alongside the Lenawee, the 1'1Ver.Was fairly empty of traffic, but before long it filled up with freighters from all over the world. This river and its tributaries forms part of an important transportation system for the Thais. Those of us who visited the floating market, saw a large sector of the populace that works and plays on the river, and even takes their baths in it. BANGKCK ins, , 'INN ,.,g -+,g,- .11-wa , .- ', :J Bangkok is the largest city in Southeast Asia containing, with its suburbs, more than two million inhabitants. The present form of Govern- ment is a constitutional Monarchy, and the titular head is King Phumpiphon Adulet, or Rama the Ninth. Bangkok, of all the citiesvisitedduring our Westpac cruise, was probably the one farthest from our Western culture. The most interesting sights were the Buddhist temples, of which there are over 300 in Bangkok alone. The subtle beauty, ornate carvings, and brilliant colors, made each temple a fascinating place to visit. Some ofthe temples visited were Wat Po KTemple ofthe Dawn' upper right, the Grand Palace and its temples, middle, and the Nlarble Temple, lower right. However the tour was not all footing it through the temples, as we see in the lower left some of the gang enjoying a cool Singhaatthe Royal Hotel. ,,. .fn 3 1 rv ', , G N 'ix vs-qi 11aQV !!nxg ifgi in Y3 31 Q 'Q :Sl X a x I' gt ' 1 P H A . t. afdj in 'T X 9' I lg, 5 .S UN kv, .. .9 5- 4, I ggi- v aim?

That job---landing men and material on designated beaches---is our specialty, and few ships can outdo us. While deployed in Westpac we set condition one- alfa, and lowered our boats and men in stormy seas and calm friendl beaches and hostile, good days and 7 Y bad, morning noon or night. The one-alfa team often worked far into the night and into the next day to com lete an o eration. B the time we completed P P Y Operation Jungle Drum lll with the Royal Thailand Navy, we were convinced that we could operate efficiently as a team. And we soon had the chance to prove this as we were given orders to land our troops in a hostile area of Viet Nam. The operation was carried out withouta hitch, much to the amazement of those in command, but not to us. We knew we could do it, and we did it. Later our boat crews were deployed away from the ship for a short time, and they again proved our reputation as a top-notch amphibious ship. Assist beaching or broaching?
