FTC-7-class frigates, and other frigates. Within the capability of installed facilities, the U66 Yellowstone will also support light patrol ships and miscellaneous small craft. This support includes shops, material and technical facilities for industrial support and repair which do not require the level of support available at facilities of a depot level maintenance activity. Yellowstone also provides logistic support, including repair parts, weapons and munitions: personnel support and services such as medical, dental and messing facilities for personnel of customer ships. Berthing, administrative and training facilities for a limited number of personnel from ships undergoing repair will be provided. Customer ships will vary in size and characteristics, ranging from patrol ships of about 150 feet in length, displacing 10.000 tons, carrying advanced guided missiles and fitted with sophisticated electronic equipment Because machinery of ships alongside for services may be under repair. Yellowstone is fitted with extra electrical generators, water distilling capacity, and transfer facilities for providing electricity, boiler feed, fresh water and other services to ships tied alongside. Yellowstone is also fitted with large side doors to permit easy access to ships alongside. (Several work boats and other small craft arc carried to transfer material and personnel to nearby ships. Old faithful also has large cranes for handling antennas, torpedoes, machinery, provisions, small boats and weapons. Beyond its destroyer support capabilities. Yellowstone is capable of providing all of the facilities and services to accommodate 1.595 officers and enlisted personnel, including accommodations and other facilities for a group or squadron commander. I Yellowstone history Th= first Yellowstone, originally named War Boy. was a steel-hulled, single screw frcighter launched on 9 December 1917 in Oakland. Calif. The Navy envisioned using the ship as a depot collier, and sent her to the Cast Coast where she was commissioned in Philadelphia in (September 1918. 6oon thereafter Yellowstone sailed to New York loading 6,672 tons of general supplies earmarked for American forces in France. (She proceeded “under confidential orders on Army transport duty’ to (SL Nazairc. France. The war ended while Yellowstone was cn route to France. Trading her cargo for a load of return stores which included “aeroplane parts. Yellowstone headed home. Cn route, she sighted a derelict three-masted schooner which proved to be the abandoned Joseph P. Cooper, forcrigging gone forecastle smashed in and apparently adrift for six to eight weeks. On a later return trip to France. Yellowstone encountered a heavy gale. Before anchoring for re-pairs, she had suffered the loss of all steering systems, sustained a man-sized hole in her hull, and had two boilers underwater. Following repair and return to New York, she decommissioned and returned to the Shipping Board for use spans 75 years----------------------------- Yellowstone's subsequent career was a short one On Dec 10. 1920, she ran hard aground in the Azores. Although listed as “stranded’ and a total loss, all 4 5 of her crew were safe. The second Yellowstone (AD-27) was built in 194 4 in Tacoina. Washington, and commissioned in January of 1946. She transited the Panama Canal in April, destined for Newport Q.L and 23 years of tending the destroyers of the Atlantic fleet Here she earned a reputation of reliability and dependability, the nickname ‘Old faithful. and the coveted battle T Award 10 times. Yellowstone deployed to the Mediterranean 1 1 times between 194 7 and 1968. The tasks she performed were unheralded the public eye. but essential to maintain the fleet's operational status. During 1970. on her 12th and final Mediterranean cruise, she replaced the propeller of now-dccommissioncd USS Sampson (DDC-10) - a job which normally requires dry docking. While in Naples, a Creek freighter collided with Yellowstone and her nest of destroyers. All suffered extensive structural damage, but Yellowstone's crew worked 24-hour shifts to repair the damage in a record nine days. Qcturning to a change of homeport from May port, fla, to Charleston. S.C.. Yellowstone took on the role of performing special services for Cruiser Destroyer flotilla Six. and after 28 years of sustained continuous service to the fleet, the second Yellowstone was decommissioned on 11 September 1974. Commanding Officer Captain Edmund L Pratt Jr. Captain Pratt reported to the USS Yellowstone (AD 4 1) after a three-year tour at SACLANT as the assistant chief of staff of Personnel and Administration. In July 1987. he completed his tour as chief engineer aboard the USS Coral Sea (CV 43) after serving as commanding officer of the USS Kirk (FF 1087). which was hoincportcd in Yokuska. Japan. All of Captain Pratt's other sea tours were served in destroyers: executive officer. USS Turner Joy (DD 951): chief engineer. USS King (DDC 41); chief engineer. USS Mitschcr (DDC 35): material officer. Destroyer Division 22 Staff: and main propulsion assistant, USS Qobert A.

Captain Edmund L. Pratt Jr, turned over the helm to Captain Donald C berning in a mid-morning change of command ceremony Oct 17 in Alicante. (Spain. Captain Paul Qoinanski. Commander Naval (Surface Croup Med and Commander (Service Force (Sixth Fleet was the guest speaker. Captain Pratt who joined the Yellowstone team in August 1990 as her eighth commanding officer, will be staying in the Tidewater area as commanding officer, board of Inspections and Survey. Atlantic. Naval Amphibious base. Norfolk. Va. During Captain Pratt's 26-month tour on board, the ship and her crew spent most of that time on the tip of the spear as a deployed ship. From August 1990 to April 1991. Yellowstone and her crew played an active role in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. During the eight-month cruise the Qepair Department alone completed more than 10.000 jobs for three carrier battle groups. Another noteworthy accomplishment during Yellowstone's 1991-1992 cruise was being the first tender to transit the Suez Canal during the war. During the present deployment Yellowstone proved, once again, her diversity and ability to get the job done. She expanded her role as a tender by participating in numerous underway exercises with the USS Saratoga (CG 60) batUe Croup, completing more than 8.000 jobs and visiting countircs such as Spain. France. Turkey. Crete. Sicily.

His military decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal (with gold star) Navy Coincndation Medal (with combat Y and gold star) the Combat Action and other unit and campaign awards. He reisdes in Norfolk. Va. and has two children. Mary berning and Ensign Pete berning ‘It is evident that through the last two deployments. the Yellowstone team has been the key reason why so many ships have been successful in their missions. You started fixing battle Croup ships the day you left home last May. Even as I say these words. Yellowstone personnel arc spread from here to the Arabian Culf fixing ships. It is truly indicative of your abilities that when the Pacific Meet realized they had put no one on board their newest tender in the Culf who could fix gas turbine ships, it was Yellowstone who responded with the expertise to fill the gap.’ •• Commodore Domarvski Executive W 1 - CDD Dennis W.

During the six-month cruise, repair departments collectively completed more than 12.000 jobs aboard Atlantic fleet ships operating in the Mediterranean, including the U.6. (Sixth fleet flag (Ship U S Belknap (CG 26). The department not only has the capability to repair and fabricate hatches, but also calibrate electronic equipment, provide printing and photography services, repair ship's clocks, and provided hull and structural repair, both above and below the waterline. The Depair Department is the largest department aboard the battle tender Yellowstone, and is comprised of 10 divisions which utilize approximately 700 men and women. P-1 (Hull Pcpair) Repair 1 Divisions primary function is repairing hull and ship structure, pipefitting, welding, shcctinetal work and lagging. Using plate and light gauge inetals. and bulkhead and pipe installations. Q-1 shops repair and manufacture strainer shields, ventilation ducts, and install lagging pads. The 700 men and women also repair shell plating, and watertight doors and hatches. Customized work is their specially. With the combined efforts of the ships foundry, habitability, carpenter, lagging, pattern, ship filter, sheet metal, pipe and welding shops. R-1 can tailor any job to any ship.
