Commissioned a Marine Second Lieuten- ant during the Spanish American War, General Berkeley completed over forty years of active duty in the Marine Corps, including service at sea and in the Philippines, Cuba, Panama. China, Haiti, Nicaragua and Guam. In addition to the Medal of Honor, He was awarded the Navy Cross as Commander of the 11th Marine Regiment in Nicaragua in 1927, and the Navy Distinguished Service Medal as Chief of Staff of the 2nd Marine Brigade in that country in 1928-29. MAY 196,3- The BERKELEY is called upon to come forth and show it ' s capabilities. President Kennedy desired to see a demonstra- tion of the fleet ' s capabilities, and BERKELEY was chosen to be the primary Tartar firing ship. BERKELEY ' S first bird went off hot, straight, and normal to score the initial hit, and the second went the same route to chase the falling drone seaward, scoring another hit be- fore it reached the water. l:i MAR 1964- BERKELEY got underway for her first West-Pac deployment, it lasted for more than 8 months, during which she became the first Guided Missle Destroyer to be awarded and have the honor of flying the Navy Unit Commendation Pennant as a result of her sup- porting role to CTG. 77.5 during the Tonkin Gulf Incident. 14 MAR 1966- Having responded to a mayday from an Air Force F4c Phantom II downed by enemy fire over North Vietnam just west of Hon Me Island two hours previous, the BERKELEY, racing at speeds up to 32 knots, engaged coastal batteries in a 22 minute duel in protection of the downed flyers who parachuted into the water just off North Vietnam ' s coast. Returning heavy counter battery fire from the coast and Hon Me Island, BERKELEY dashed close to the shore- line with both her .5 ' .S4 caliber gun mounts blasting. Bracketed by geys- ers, one of which put nicks in her bow and shrapnel on the deck, BERKELEY silenced the enemy gunners with over 3 tons of high ex- plosive projectiles. 20 AUG 1967 - BERKELEY recovers CAPT. Archer, CO of the USS BOSTON, who had fallen into the water during a highline trans- fer. 25 AUG 1967- BERKELEY was taken under fire by at least 12 North Vietnam coastal defense truck mounted guns that fired about 500 rounds in a 13 minute period, 5 or 6 of which had landed as close as 10 feet so that large pieces of shrapnel were recovered on deck. BERKELEY immediately closed the coast and caught the enemy try- ing to remove the guns, destroying at least 2. 21 AUG - 5 SEP 1967 - BERKELEY was credited with destroying 27 waterborne logistics craft, 6 coastal defense sites, and two mobile truck mounted guns. 10-11 SEP 1968 - It was a great two days of hunting as the BERKE- LEY teamed up with the USS HAYWOOD (DD-861), to knockout 58 enemy supplyboats. 26 NOV 1968- The BERKELEY was conducting underway replen- ishment alongside the starboard side of the USS CAMDEN ( AOE-2), when the USS HANCOCK (CVA-19) collided with the CAMDEN as the carrier was coming alongside to port. Fueling rigs were torn up two airplanes deposited on the deck of the CAMDEN but none of the ships suffered personnel casualties, nor were there any fires. 21 MAR 1969- BERKELEY was presented the Meritorious Unit Commendation. . . . In the two six-month deployments that BERKE- LEY made since JAN 1967, her guns have accounted for more than ten percent of all enemy supply boats destroyed or damaged by surface forces during the last two years 13 FEB - 14 AUG 1970- BERKELEY ' S fifth deployment to the western pacific and duty off the coast of northern Vietnam. 16 MAR - 10 SEP 1971- A sixth wartime deployment. 7 APR 1972- BERKELEY is given 72 hours notice that she will be deploying to WESTPAC in response to North Vietnamese Spring Offense. 9 MAY 1972- Along with five other destroyers of the 7th fleet, BERKELEY raced into Haiphong Harbor to provide a protective bar- rage of five-inch shells while carrier based U.S. jets peppered the harbor with mines. Her large battle ensign flying BERKELEY delivered over 280 rounds in a half hour before the ships of the task unit raced seaward, weaving through plumes of water sent skyward by shells from coastal defense guns. MAY 1972- In the three weeks following the mining of Haiphong harbor BERKELEY sank over 30 small boats running supplies from larger crafts outside the mine field. 1972- BERKELEYS 7th deployment saw well over 11,000 rounds fired from her 5 .54 cal. guns, and over 1,,580 hostile rounds fired at her. 1973- Found BERKELEY in Bremerton, Wash, at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for an overhaul which gave her the first Tactical Data system designed for a DDG, the first production model of the SQQ-23 ( pair) sonar. Major communication and Electronic warfare shipalts, two new Mark 42 mod 10 5 54 cal. gun mounts, the Tartar Digital Update, and conversion of her engineering plant to burn Navy distillate fuel. 26 NOV 1973- BERKELEY ' S homeport was changed from Long Beach to San Diego, California. 19 JUN 1974- BERKELEY ' S gets underway for her 8th deploy- ment. NOV 1974- BERKELEY leads the carrier USS CONSTELLA- TION (CV-64) into the Persian Gulf, an historic voyage that marked the second time since World War II that an American Carrier had oper- ated in the Persian Gulf 30 JAN 1976- The start of BERKELEY ' S 9th deployment. 8 AUG 1976- Undewav for deployment number 10. 21 NOV 1979- BERKELEY leads KITTY HAWK Battle Group out of Subic Bay in response to the take over of the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran.

The team was deployed for a six month WESTPAC when we met up with them to do some seal insertions. The seals stayed and lived on board as one of the crew. As time progressed we became close with the team members. They showed us tapes of what their training is like. Their time on board was limited so we had to do the insertions quick and ef- fectively the first time through.  .- i r r SEAL TEAM COMING BACK FROM A RUN CHECKING THEIR EQUIPMENT Each seal was trained in a different field of operations so when they did their invasions they took care of each other as if it was the real thing. After their depar- ture from the BERKELEY they pro- ceeded to do some other operations with another ship before taking a break in P.I. where we met up with them again. SEAL team V is wished good luck on future jobs. THE INSERTION TEAM It takes long hours to get ready to go on a mis- sion. Seal team five took the time and effort to make every thing run smooth. As these pictures tell they did their job good. 54 SAFETY ON SHIPS Safety in the U.S. Navy is very im- portant to ship life. Safety is empha- sized every time you do a job anywhere you go. We can ' t become complacent in our jobs at any time. As many have heard we had a lot of accidents this year in the Navy and it wasn ' t because something wasn ' t working right it ' s just that people weren ' t paying atten- tion to details. In the next few pages you will see many things that you have to pay strict attention to or somebody can really get hurt. In UNREP you can lose a leg or an arm if your not alert of things being said or seen. Flight Quarters you can cause the helo to crash. There are just a few of the things safety is really need- ed. A FILL ' ER UP Duriiifi long periods underway a ship needs to replenish her supply of fuel, ammunition, and stores. To do this a ship does an underway RE- PLENISHMENT evolution. An UNREP is con- sidered to be one of the most dangerous evolu- tions on hoard a ship. The BERKELEY crew members have shown numerous times that they can handle any UNREP that comes their way. - i 56 ' o- . V LIFE ON LIFE on board a ship can be an experience for both old and new crew members. This WESTPAC showed that new crew could hold up to the expecta- tions of them as well as hold their own with the old. On a ship it can be very monotonous, but the crew will always find something to do to keep busy. For the married sailor it can be very hard to get used to getting underway, away from home but it is all worth it when vou return. WHERE ' S THE TOMATOES . . .

GMG3 MOORE FLIGHT QUARTERS Flight Quarters is a way of being able to reach a ship that is quite a distance away. It is mainly used to drop mail or parts but can be used for transferring personnel to and from a ship. On the BERKELEY we had many Flight Quarters and had no accidents, even with having this evo- lution simultaneously with an unrep the crew was able to handle it with ease. HERE COMES THE HELO. WE ' LL STRIKE IF WE DON ' T GET MAIL. r- MORE MAIL . . . HORRAY! MAIL!! BATTLE GROUP FOX TROT mL- USS ENTERPRISE CVN-65 BATTLE GROUP FOX TROT consists of the command ship USS ENTERPRISE (CVN- 65), USS LONG BEACH (CGN-9), USS BAGLEY (FF-1069), USS RATHBURN (FF-1057), USS WITCHITA (AOR-1), USS MT. HOOD (AOE-29), USS HEWITT (DD-966) and the USS BERKELEY (DDG-15). BATTLE GROUP FOX TROT left for deployment on the 18th of September 1989 enroute to commence PACEX 89. From there BG FOX TROT participated in many other activities. Also BG FOX TROT was a key player in sitting off the coast of Manila in case the Americans that were there needed to be evacuated. n .• i . USS LONG BEACH CGN-9 BATTLE GROUP FOX TROT showed U.S. strength in the Persian Gulf upon reliev- ing U.S. ships that were there. BATTLE GROUP FOX TROT then proceeded on there own way the ENTERPRISE and LONG BEACH left for there world cruise while the rest went back the way they came making a few more stops. BATTLE GROUP IN FORMATION USS BAGLEY FF-1069 62 DAMAGE CONTROL ONE OF THE EVENTS THE P-250 THE FINAI OF FIVE EVENTS THE PIPE PATCHING ANOTHER EVENT THE OBA THE WINNING TEAM CA DIVISION. Damage Control is very important to the safety of your home or in this case the ship. Damage Control is practiced every day inport and as much as possible un- derway. One of the ways we practice is to hold DC Olym- pics. CA division showed their superiority in this chal- lenge by defeating all other challengers I  amage C .rol is not a game as the USS KINKAiO and t ' JSS STARK found out. Having a good d .mage con -l team you can save the ship from any severe damage. PACEX PACEX was the bif gest assembly of U.S. war ships since World War II. The group consisted of two Carrier groups and two Battle ship group to equal about two hundred U.S. ships. The group did such things as mock invasions, war games between forces and gun shoots. PACEX was mainly set up for task force training for the officers and enlisted as well. There was no incidents which made this the best Naval evolution since World War II. A well done to all who par- ticipated. Group shot of all ships Group shot as seen trum a held 64 NORTHERN TRANSIT WESTPAC started with us heading towards Alaska where it gets very cold and windy as well as a rough sea state. As you might be able to tell from these pictures it got pretty rough. The cold weather made it hard to do UNREPS or flight quarters with not either freezing or getting soaked. As we got closer to Alaska it would start raining and last for a while then stop and start up again. After our trip north we were all glad to get down near our first port. 65 FRIEND «dB«c liiK« see •-Tow lilJII HmUiatT ««Sr 1«-  « IliD s aies8 fee , it s tun tf jieas : su . is. aa rKr nr T.ni.i. iJCBut ft «ar taue evibC iie ♦ OR FOE?

BELOW: Fleet seen behind the skyline. LOWER LEFT: The crew going on liberty. LOWER RIGHT: Hong Kong ' s night life was great for the fleet. We spent 6 fun filled days in Hong Kong, the focal point for all commerce in the Orient. Bargain Hunters lost themselves in Stanley ' s street markets. Sailors sampled exotic foods in the floating restaurants of Ab- erdeen. Kowloon was reknowned for an exciting night life, and gamblers spent their dollars in Macau. HONG KONG had something for everybody! mm m ■ ' xm The Jumbo is just one of the many types of restaurants you ' ll find in Hong Kong. This one floats. Know for it ' s resources, precious gems are a vital part of the economy. The fast pace of Hong Kong, and the thrill of the city come from the many bright lights and big flashy signs. Lt. the bus is a cheap and effective way for traveling. Unless of course you like to take a lot of chances. Many boats are available for tourists to take a cruise and see Hong Kong from a different point of view. SUBIC BA Y Inn A Subic was our home away from home. We made three stops in Subic this WESTPAC. The first stop was after Hong Kong, then we pulled out for a few days and pulled in for the second time this pac. We pulled in for the final time after our time in the I.O. before we headed to Pearl. Our dollar went a long way in Subic even in the finer establishments of Olon- gapo. The activities varied and there truly was some- thing for everybody in the Philppines. UPPER PAGE: Subic as you leave the base. CEN- TER LEFT: A sign welcoming you to Olongapo. BOTTOM: STG3 Williams and friends tour Subic during the day. THE PHILIPPINES The night Hfe in Subic was great. Many discos hired live bands. Filippino people are great imitators of the groups they are playing. If Olongapo wasn ' t your st yle you could always catch a jeepny to the barrio. PHA TTA YA BE A CH Phattaya Beach, Thailand marked our first time we were in Thailand. The ship dropped anchor about a mile out from the main town, and crew members eagerly climb- ed aboard converted fishing boats owned by locals that took them ashore. What we found was paradise. Beer, good food, beaches and palm trees, but best of all it was cheap and our dollars went a long way. Phattaya Beach was no secret to the world, catering to Euro- peans and Middle Easterners as well as the Navy. This was our best port this WEST- PAC. ik4 UPPER PAGE: BM3 Westhafer and SN Clark spend a day relaxing. CENTER RIGHT: If you like snakes here is the place to come ask SK3 Boykins.

Either way it is an experience. 76 A short bus ride away was the city of Bangkok. Many of us journeyed forth to find a city teaming with culture, history and of course, Sing-ha Beer. Buddhist temples and ancient cities, reclaimed by jungles fasci- nated those of us welcomed to venture into them. The people of Thailand gave us a warm welcome we ' ll never forget, but all good things must come to an end; it was time to get underway again. These are just a few of the temples in Bangkok. These pictures were taken by ENS. Sterling on one of the many tours available in Thailand. The design of these buildings took numerous years to plan and build but as you can see it was well worth the time and effort. Singapore was our fourth port this WEST- PAC. Singapore was a great liberty port for the crew, the people were terrific, the food was ex- cellent and the sights were wonderful. Singa- pore was founded in 1819 by Sir Thomas Stam- ford Raffles and became a British colony in 1959. Singapore is mostly populated by Chi- nese. Singapore is truly a great place to come back to. From these pictures you would probably think that you were in a city in New York. Bas- ically because of how rich it looks well your right Singapore reminded all of us of being back in the states. SINGAPORE 78 The ship sent many crew members out on Christmas depressed but they came back happy. We spent our Christmas with families here or were out celebrating with people on Scott St. Here are just a few of the displays that were set up around Singapore. i CROSSING THE LINE ' i i ss sm s em s i sm $ j-i Cxz Z t fi On 01 JAN 1990, Battle Group F crossed the equator passing into the southern hemisphere. The crossing of the line marked the execution of an event that is enshrouded in ceremony and tradition. In preparation a beauty contest was held to select BERKELEY ' S loveliest sailor. FC3 IWANE was chosen by the skin of his teeth over GMMSN Angela Mesina by a panel of ex- pert judges. After her coronation, Davey Jones, played by BTC(SW) James, arrived to en- sure that all was ready for King Neptune. Find- ing BERKELEY fit for the commencement of the ceremonies. The act of crossing the equator transforms a slimy poUywog into an honorable shellback. On the morning of the 1st as longitude 82° 59.4 ' E the BERKELEY crossed the equator turning the pollywogs into great shellbacks. The shellbacks spent their aggressions out on the pollywogs by soaking them down with fire hoses. Then at the end of the ceremony you had to visit the royal Neptune court and take your sentencing to the stocks or the troth. LEFT: Grace Moore struts her stuff for Wog Queen.

ABOVE RIGHT: STGl(SW) Kilkenny is sentenced to the stocks. RIGHT: GMMSN Bailey enjoyed his day. BELOW: Kilkenny again visits the Royal Baby. After the ceremony ends you go through a cleansing of the slime and emerge a hiyal trustv shellback. Just ask GMMSN Clough, ENS Sterling or ET3 Keizer. After the festivities were over we commenced to having steel beach. 84 DIEGO GARCIA Diego Garcia is a small island just south of the equator. We visited this port for one day to pick up new personnel and get one day of liberty before going into the I.O. Diego Garcia is a U.S. base on a British island that we are allowed to use. The crew loved the stay at Diego because it was something you won ' t get to see to often. Here are a few reasons why the crew loved Diego. One was that since we were below the equator the sun was more intense than we were use to so people were going out to the beach and working on a tan or they just went out and ex- plored. i .. ; 86 OMAN MUSCA T i3lf Oman was our first liberty port of the new year. It was a nice place to visit. The natives were real friendly towards the fleet. The sights were exciting to see. The palace was a sight in its own. 1 ' ' - -- J ■ .

PEARL HARBOR ARIZONA MEMORIAL DEDICATED TO THE ETERNAL MEMORY OF OUR GALLANT SHIPMATES IN THE USS ARIZONA WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN ACTION 7 DECEMBER 1941. While we were in Hawaii a few BERKLEY sailors took the opportunity to reenlist on board the USS ARIZONA. L-R MS2 CAUDILL, GMG2 MONK, GMC(SW) ROBINSON, STGCS(S V) CALLAHAN, GMCS(SW) ELLIS, AND TMl COLEMAN. REENLISTING OFFICER CMDR H. R. PETERMAN. 90 HOMECOMING TIGER In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, around thirty relatives and their friends of BERKLEY sailors called tigers, joined the final leg of the journey home. The Ti- ger Cruise gave us a chance to share the rigors of life at sea along with the rew- ards. Tigers were given PQS so that they could learn more about the ship. Special events held for the Tigers to enjoy were gun shoots, manuevering drills, game tournaments and all day movies. The Ti- gers presence kept us occupied and ac- celerated the passage of time as we ap- proached San Diego and the end of WESTPAC 89-90. Hey I can ' t see that far. IS THIS ALL WE GET TO SHOOT.
