Stetuning at high speed while chasing carriers meant refueling nlniost every other duy. To keep her going, required thousands of gallons of fuel, tons of supplies. not to mention keeping the ship's store stocked with enough peanuts to feed ai herd of furnished elephants and enough Coke to float n ship.

We knew several hours in advance that Wedderburn would be called upon to give gunfire support, but when the call to man all stations went, it was no longer a drill. Some- times we even knew that exact minute the first shell would go screaming to the beachg but when GQ was sounded, people hit the deck running because they knew this was what we had waited for. At last Wedderburn would get a chance to roar her anger and let the Cong feel the sting of her five big guns. There were only a few times when Ole Arleigh got a chance to voice her opinion in this war. When she was done, there was little doubt about just the way she felt. In the day and age of the nuclear powered DLG and guided mlssle cruisers, it is still the Floating Gun Platforms that arc fighting this War. Though weapons and delivery systems may get more and more sophisticaiecl, modern warfare will never rcplzicc the Destroyer at sea. When it camo time for us to go on SAR the Bainbridge QDLGN-125i brought us :along for gunfire pro- tection. Have guns will travel , is our motto and 4.0 ls the mark wc at-hicvc.
