After a brief career near the end and shortly after World War 1, YELLOWSTONE was decommissioned and returned to the Shipping Board for use. Her subsequent tour was short-lived due to her running aground in the Azores. Although listed as stranded and a total loss, all 45 of her crew were safe. The second YELLOWSTONE (AD-27) was commissioned in January, 1946. For 28 years she tended the destroyers of the Atlantic Fleet. For her dependability and reliability she was awarded the coveted Battle Efficiency E ten times and earned the nickname Old Faithful . She was decommissioned on September 11, 1974. The present YELLOWSTONE (AD-41), commissioned on June 28, 1980, is the first tender to be equipped with a destroyer refueling rig capable of sending refueling probe, robb, and NATO refueling couplings to other ships. She has deployed to the North Atlantic, and three times to the Mediterranean. , ■ 4 First YELLOWSTONE (War Boy) Second YELLOWSTOiNE (AD-27) Yellowstone National Park •mm The incredibly majestic Yellowstone National Park, from which the USS YELLOWSTONE takes its name, met with disaster in the fall of 1988. Almost half of the park's 2.2 million acres were destroyed by eight huge fires. But due to the Mediterranean deployment, our crew was unable to travel to the park to help in the enormous firefighting efforts. So we did what we could and generously donated $4,141.41 to help support the park and purchase some of the countless millions of trees needed to begin the renewal and replanting of the lost forests. d DEPARTURE AD 41 % aebr 'Muiwilfe -2TA 28 n afile. ’7,%fU 28 2 lcilt 7 29 Jlhxandua 4O 250cl c m ta Q)ec 2J 9 jpfewiIcvudJ- sPa nia c e m7i cic W 2 cm j-i.i uy veSentSp and to am p fist, bolpttnS, sea tiirtles,ra;p s, anb all otter Iibins eni;f[ dincw 3J7 d tud • Captain Robert J.

It is also the second most populated city in France and its most important seaport. It possesses considerable charm and local atmosphere, with its picturesque old harbor, its attractive drive along the sea, and its tree lined boulevards. k I f ( A apte5f dtaly The 2,500 year-old city of Naples is located in southern Italy, 120 miles southwest of Rome. Naples originally was named Neopolis, and was part of a large Greek colony which extended throughout southern Italy and Sicily. Naples was absorbed by the Roman Empire and the local area was a favorite vacation spot of the ruling class of Rome. Roman ruins abound throughout the area. Today Naples is one of Italy's major seaports and industrial cities. It is very popular with tourists from all over the world, as it is located near Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius, and the Isle of Capri. 23 Tlte SJsLei 24 A omp GLL l eiu VlUl The ancient city of Pompeii was founded about 600 B.C. and was a port town for inland cities and a place of considerable trade. As a Roman colony around 80 B.C. it was a favorite resort of the wealthy. It was damaged by an earthquake in 63 A.D. and completely demolished on August 24, 79 A.D. when nearby Mt. Vesuvius errupted and completely buried it under thick layers of ash, where it lay for over 1600 years before excavgations began. Only about ten percent of its twenty thousand residents died in that erruption. Mt. Vesuvius has errupted many times since, killing eighteen thousand in 1631 and another two thousand in 1906. asa« Carney Park • yv. at an lg, LCiLy Catania is the second largest city of Sicily. It is the principle urban center on the eastern end of the island and the marketplace for the produce of the orchards, vineyards, and farms that line the slopes of Mt. Etna. Mt. Etna, an active volcano, lies 20 miles north of the city. In -1669 Catania was severely damaged by the eruption of Mt. Etna and in 1693 was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake. The remaining Baroque architecture of Catania, however, makes it unique among the larger cities of Italy. 31 Tc aotmina Taormina is a resort town located on the slopes of Mt.

Bower SUPPLY The Supply Department supports YELLOWSTONE and tended ships alongside with essential goods and services. Throughout Supply's six divisions are professional men and women who provide a wide range of services from haircuts and laundry services to meals and adequate supplies. They also provide the opportunity for the crew to purchase personal items via the ship's store such as shampoo, toothpaste, and other grooming products to munchies when we that get that craving for sweets. Supply Department personnel are proud to service the ship's company and the fleet. S-1 SKCM D. Scott All supplies that come aboard YELLOWSTONE pass through the reliable Storekeepers' hands in S-4 Division. Its primary mission is the receipt, stowage, issue, and inventory of all items ordered by the ship. Consumables, medical and repair supplies as well as machinery and equipment are inspected before being lifted by crane and transported to one of many storerooms or special supply spaces. Keeping track of the multimillion dollar inventory is another of the Storekeepers' responsibilities. They must ensure that supplies are available to each department and to other ships as needed. In this way, S-1 Division keeps YELLOWSTONE and the fleet combat ready. I SK2 T. Adams SK2 S. Holmes SK3 R. Dutton SK3 S. Smith SKSN J. Bercik S-2 L7 M.

Payne R-2 STRAGGLERS 185 187 UNREP The ability of ships at sea to replenish while underway is a vital element in the mobility of our naval forces. Split-second timing, coordination, and team work are the keys to a series of evolutions needed for success. Fuel, supplies, and personnel are transferred on a routine basis thus insuring the ship's operational schedule remains uninterrupted. 188 Few evolutions aboard a navy vessel require the delicate maneuvers necesary in a vertical replenishment. Countless palets of food, supplies, and ordnance can be transferred from ship to ship in a very short time. The potential danger is high and coordination of movements by the helicopter pilot and crew along with the ship's deck, operations, and supply personnel is critical for success and safety. 190 191 Cjccta, SJtaLy Gaeta, Italy is a picturesque seaport on the Gulf of Gaeta midway between Rome and Naples. The older part of the city has narrow, winding streets and old buildings, including the cathedral, consecrated in 1106. Gaeta was a favorite place of retreat in roman times and is popular today as a beach resort. The Monte d' Orlando (a public park) is supposed to be the site of the grave of Caieta (the nurse of Aeneas, mythical hero of Troy and Rome), after whom the town was named. The city of Gaeta was badly damaged in World War II with the german invasion. 194 961. Rome is the largest city in Italy and one of the oldest cities in the world. Although ruins have been found dating back to the sixth century B.C., legend says that the city was founded in 753 B.C. It is the religious center for the Roman Catholic church and the official residence of the Pope. The ancient Roman Empire that dominated the Mediterranean area spread it's influence throughout most of Europe and much of the north African coast. Famous sites in Rome include the Coliseum, the Forum, the Sistine Chapel, and works by great artists such as Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci. 198 -I Jl 199 200 201 r ■ A PRAYER OF THANKS Gracious God. lord of the bounties that this earth produces, we thank you for this meal in which we find nourishment and enjoyment.
