THE HISTORY OF USS “Old Faithful’s” proud story USS Yellowstone (AD 41) is proud to be named after the first U.S. National Park. It was commissioned on June 28, 1980 in San Diego, Calif., and is the first of four ships of its class. USS Acadia (AD 42), USS Cape Cod (AD 43) and USS Shenandoah (AD 44) arc also named after national parks. Two previous ships have borne the name of Yellowstone. Like the current USS Yellowstone, all were built on the U. S. West Coast and served only in the Atlantic Fleet. The first USS Yellowstone was a freighter built in Oakland, Calif., and commissioned in September 1918. That ship carried general supplies between the U. S. and Europe during a relatively brief career which included the final year of World War I and two years thereafter. The second USS Yellowstone (AD 27) was a destroyer tender built in Tacoma, Wash., and commissioned in January 1946. While tending ships in East Coast ports and during 12 Mediterranean deployments, that ship earned a reputation for reliability and dependability. It lived up to the nickname “Old Faithful” during a very distinguished 23-year career. USS Yellowstone (AD 41), the “Old Faithful” of the 90’s, recently completed its seventh deployment since joining the U. S. Atlantic Fleet. Its crewmembers have continued to set standards of excellence, reliably carrying out the ship’s primary mission of providing quality support, maintenance and logistics for U. S. and allied maritime forces. In 1993, USS Yellowstone's Engineering Department refurbished much of its main propulsion space equipment during a three-month Dock Planned Maintenance Availability. Equipment such as boilers and evaporators was overhauled and the ship installed new firefighting systems throughout its main and auxiliary spaces. YELLOWSTONE (AD-41) In Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, USS Yellowstone crewmembers successfully underwent an intensive two-week refresher training to certify their shipboard firefighting capability. Prior to USS Yellowstone's deployment in December, the ship also had to pass its Operational Plant Propulsion Examination. Work-intensive is the best description to sum up USS Yellowstone's recent Mediterranean deployment. Crewmembers dedicated more than 119,088 manhours, finishing over 3.400 repair jobs through 17 major alongside availabilities and 45 flyaway teams. The ship also provided licet and allied support and repairs during port visits in Italy. Sicily. Greece, Turkey and Israel. Other significant milestones USS Yellowstone achieved throughout the 93-94 Mediterranean deployment period include the award of the Southwest Asia Service Medal and the ship’s winning of the Safety pennant. During its overseas deployments, USS Yellowstone has been very active as a “good will ambassador”. Through the “Operation Handclasp” Program, crewmembers on the 93-94 deployment alone, devoted over 1,500 manhours to 13 highly successful community relations projects. The repair and maintenance projects benefitted orphanages, schools, retirement homes and rehabilitation centers. About 6,000 pounds of health, education and hygiene materials were also distributed to many of these organizations. Teamwork is the foundation for success aboard the USS Yellowstone and crewmembers proudly view their ship as the first and finest “battle” tender afloat, loyally striving to uphold the many fine traditions inherent in its proud namesake.

The geyser containment, a Y-shaped heraldic charge called a pail, is symbolic of support. The vertical bands and scalloped cloud forms are indicative of the upward surge of steam and water, an allusion to the famous geyser “Old Faithful.” The sea horse is symbolic of the basic mission of the destroyer-tender, the furnishing of supplies and services to the fleet. The trident is symbolic of naval power and authority. The head of the trident suggests the letter “E” Award, which the second USS Yellowstone (AD 27) earned 10 times.

During the four month cruise, the repair department completed more than 3,400 jobs aboard Atlantic Fleet ships operating in the Mediterranean. 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 provide hull and structural repair, both above and below the waterline. The Repair Department is the largest department aboard the battle tender Yellowstone and is comprised of 10 divisions, manned by approximately 700 men and women.

Radiomen process all incoming and outgoing telecommunication for the ship and maintain voice radio circuits while underway, enabling the bridge to communicate with port authorities and other ships in the vicinity. The signalmen provide fast and reliable communications with other ships via semaphore for close-range signaling, flashing lights for long-range, and night signaling and flag hoist for short information signaling. OPS-2 Division Operation’s 2nd Division is made up of quartermasters, operations specialists and electronics technicians. Quartermasters plot the ship’s position and nautical charts, record the weather, keep deck logs, and plan ocean and port-to-port transits. The ship’s ability to detect other ships depends upon the skills of the operations specialists who use sound-powered phones, radio circuits, radar scopes and plotting tables. The electronics technicians perform all preventive and corrective maintenance on electronic systems, subsystems and ancillary equipment.
