NORTON SOUND, originally designated the AV-11, began one day in 1941, when herkeel was laid at the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Drydock Corpor- ation. Withlthe bursting of World War II on the doorsteps of the United States, priority for the completion of the seaplane tender was lowered. Thus the ship was finally launched 28 November 1943. At the launching the NORTON SOUND was christened by Mrs. E. L. GUNTHER, wife of RADM E. L. GUNTHER, the Commandant of U. S. Naval Air Station, San Diego, California. Still later, on 8 January, 1945, the ship was commissioned at San Pedro, Cali- fornia, by Captain Knefler MCGINNIS, who was the Commanding Officer, U. S. Naval Air Station, Terminal Island, California., First Commanding Officer of NORTON SOUND was Commander Ben Scott CUSTER, of Bainbridge, Ga. The NORTON SOUND departed 26 February 1945, after a brief shakedown cruise, bound for duty-in the tadvaiiced areas of the Western Pacific with the famous FIFTH Fleet. At Pearl Harbor herlfirst operational aviation unit, VPB-19, reported aboard for transportation. The ship rescued and hoisted aboard a Martin Mariner Patrol Bomber which had been forced down at seas on 25 April 1945, while en route to Okinawa. Upon arrival at Okinawa, this ship became the flagship of RADM J. D. PRICE, the Commander of Fleet Air Wing ONE-, and the home of VPB-26. Although a submarine contact had been made en route to Okinawa, the NORTON SOUND's first real engagementiwith the Japanese' was on 28 April 1945. Then the an- chorage in which she lay came under attabk by bombers and suicide planes. Attacks of this type were repeated a number, of times until the end of the war, but on no occasion did the ship suffer damage or casualty. - Her most intimate and exciting clash with the enemy occurred 12 May 1945. On a small nearby island, Aka Shima, a recreation party from an LST in the anchorage had gone ashore to have a picnic and to play softball. Although the island was supposedly secured, the party was ambushed and two of its members killed by a small detachment X Q X NX NQx .ti I Q 1. ... 4 5 4 Y 1 - it-f ' , gl M ,K X Nx . , X . ffff 7 ZW!

Upon the hero's arrival on board, NORTON SOUND dispatched a landing party in two boats to the island. The Japanese were driven off and the LST's party rescued. The officers and men of this landing party were awarded ribbons and letters of commendation by Commander FIFTH Fleet, and Commander Fleet Air Wing ONE. Our ship's amphibious operation is commemorated by a brass plaque which is mounted out- side the Operations Office. During the summer of 1946, NORTON SOUND began her career of science and exploration. Operations were in progress at this time in North Atlantic waters off Greenland, where a task force was en- gaged in Arctic material and operational tests. Completing the installation of special equipment on 11 February 1949, the NORTON SOUND, now with Port Hueneme as her home port, sailed for equatorial waters off the West Coast of South America. In collaboration with the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University, three AEROBEE rockets were fired to study cosmic radiation at altitudes up to 60 miles. On the way home a call was made at Callao, port city for Lima, Peru. Away again in January 1950, the ship took a 19-day winter cruise to the stormy Gulf of Alaska for cosmic radiation and cold weather research in high geomagnetic latitudes. Here two more AEROBEE rockets were fired Cto gather data for Johns Hopkins University's laboratoriesb, as well as one LOON and one LARK missile. A brief stop was made at Vancouver, B. C., for a snowy liberty. Back to the San Francisco Naval Shipyard went the NORTON SOUND in early 1950, to have VIKING launching equipment installed. On 11 May of that year her first VIKING was fired to an altitude of 106 miles, where the 500 pounds of instruments recorded more cosmic research data. On completion of this project the ship began extended local operations, firing test and training shots with the LARK and early REGULUS missiles. In September 1950 she fired the first in a long series of TERRIER missiles, it was the first successful shipboard launching of TERRIER. I NORTON SOUND stayed close to home for several years, firing many HVAR, TERRIER and REGULUS missiles as one improvement or modification followed another. Cooperating with contractors and other naval activities, she hastened the introduction of TERRIER and REGULUS as tactical weapons to operational units afloat and ashore. Not until 1957 did NORTON SOUND begin another extended cruise. On 23 September she departed for tropical waters again to fire several TERRIER missiles under severe storm conditions. Balboa, C. Z., and Acapulco, Mexico, were liberty ports on this cruise. On returning to Port Hueneme, the ship expected only the usual milk run operations for some time. Fate intervened, however, and here begins our story., i i Z , f 1 6 Z an , Il . , XI fl , fb' Za: f ls f f 1 S , 5 'X XX S x t ,, . 4 ff fi f 45,31 S-4 P U1 ,' m f l f as if Q' QQ. her miss 1on This is the X-17 rocket: a three-stage, solid-propel- lant missile. It has been used for research since its inception, this, too, was our use. It is impossible to present a complete picture of the missile and related programs. We of the NORTON SOUND can, how- ever, be proud of the highly successful sea-phase tests recently completed in the Atlantic area. They have contributed considerably to our still slight knowledge of the upper atmospheric levels. The X-17 was originally conceived by and, designed for the Air Force by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. The vehicle was engineered and manufactured at the Lockheed Van Nuys plant in California. It was developed as a transport and test-carrier for re-entry nose cones, being a three-stage type. That is, the nose-cone was powered on its re-entry to speeds of for exceedingb 10,000 miles per hour. Its purpose was to get the essential data for study of high- velocity airflow. From early 1955 through the spring of 1957 the Air Force launched several of the X-17's. The Navy watched, and its interest increased. Soon thereafter the Navy contracted to conduct advanced missile experimentation to aid in the development of the POLARIS program. The Office of Naval Research paved the way for continued X-17 test firings. After completion of many firings on land the decision was made to launch the rocket from specific locations afloat. It was felt that results would be at least as satisfactory Cand more easily accomplishedb if the launching equipment were installed aboard ship, in- stead of being transported by ship to some conven- ient island. By firing X-17 at various angles, includ- ing vertical, the Navy was able to achieve great altitudes, considerably advancing the study of the upper atmosphere. All three stages in the Navy tests were set to fire upwards. The NORTON SOUND is credited with many successful firings, both in the Point Mugu and in the Atlantic areas. The results were highly profit- able to the planned purpose of the mission. P I I Q I F I I I I I I I I .1 I K 1 II I I!

Signed : The SNORTIN NORTON commander task force aa 'X It was said of Lloyd Montague MUSTIN, when he was graduated from Annapolis in 1932, -Lloyd will reach the top at anything he undertakes, for 'It isn't luck, it's skill. ' And so it has been. In the 26 succeeding years he has rocketed up to the rank of Rear Admiral, above others of his class - and earlier graduates. This success has been due to his talents, drive, and the daring application of his knowledge. He attained flag rank on a head and shoulders basis - that is by brains and hard work. Rear Admiral MUSTIN has long been known for his prowess as a tin-can sailor. He was in the first Ordnance Engineering ffire controlj postgraduate course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Admiral MUSTIN was selected as Commander Task Force 88 by Admiral BURKE, the Chief of .Naval Operations. He was serving as Commander Destroyer Flotilla TWO and had just completed a tour as Chief of Staff to Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, Pacific Fleet. Admiral MUSTIN has now returned to his duties as Commander, Destroyer Flotilla TWO. chief staff Chief of Staff to Admiral MUSTIN was Captain William Joseph DIMITRIJEVIC, USN. He has served in a number of high level posts, including that of Chief of Staff, Commander, South Atlantic, his present position. Captain DIMITRIJEVIC served in a key position on the staff of Admiral WRIGHT, Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet, prior to this cruise. Special qualifications of Captain DIMITRIJEVIC are numerous. He is a graduate of the ad- vanced course at the Naval War College and a graduate Aerological Engineer. His omnivorous reading, keen analytical mind and deep knowledge of human nature combine readily with his many other talents to eminently qualify him as an astute Chief of Staff, with a notable flair for efficient planning - an indispensable quality in any organization. commanding officer departing Captain Arthur Robert GRALLA, a native of New York City, was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1934. Beginning his commissioned service on board the U.S.S. OMAHA, he next served from 1937, to 1939 as Aide and Flag Lieutenant to the Commander, Special Service Squadron, with home port in Balboa, C. Z. There followed a tour in Destroyers, after which he went ashore for post-graduate train- ing in Ordnance Engineering CFire Controlb at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Here he was awarded a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering. In addition he was elected to the M.I.T. Chapter of Sigma Xi, a post-graduate honor fraternity. Following a brief tour in the Bureau of Ordnance he went to sea as the first Gunnery Officer of the anti-aircraft cruiser U.S.S. RENO. While in the RENO he was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, the Bronze Star Medal and a Gold Star in lieu of a second Bronze Star Medal for services in action against- the enemy. In 1945 he put the heavy cruiser U.S.S. MACON in commission, as her Gunnery Officer. One command assignment followed the war, that of the U.S.S. DENNIS J. BUCKLEY. This was a radar picket destroyer, of Division 202 and Squadron 20. Staff assignments have included one tour C1947-19505 in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. In the Division of Fleet Readiness he was first the anti-aircraft Gunnery Officer, and later the Ordnance and Guided Missile member of the Air Defense Board. I-Ie served from 1950-1952 as Current Operations Officer on the Staff of the Commander-in-Chief, Naval Forces, Northern Europe and Mediterranean. The period 1954-1956 was spent as Administrative Aide to the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Fleet Operations and Readiness. Prior to taking command of the NORTON SOUND, Captain GRALLA commis- sioned and was the first Commanding Officer of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Test Unit at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. On 31 May 1936, Captain GRALLA married Miss Mildred C. Lesser, also of New York. They have two sons, Arthur R., Jr., and Richard J. While at port-of-call in Rio de Janeiro, our ship had a change of command ceremony. Captain MCCALLUM flew to Rio to assume command, as Captain GRALLA's orders required that he report promptly for duty in the Bureau of Ordnance, Washington, D. C. We wish Captain GRALLA luck! commanding officer relieving Captain MCCALLUM was born in Denver, Colorado, on 11 February 1912. He majored in Electrical Engineering for two years at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, and was then appointed to the United States Naval Academy, where he was graduated seventh in his class in 1935. His first duty was aboard the U.S.S. ARIZONA. In 1937, he married Miss Dorothy Bradley Vaile of Seattle, Washington. He served in the Submarines S-24, S-22 and S-18. He was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade, on 5 June 1938, and to Lieutenant on 1 August 1941. Upon completion of the post-graduate course in Ordnance Engineering in 1943, he was assigned to the Bureau of Ordnance, where he served for six months-the period required before his weekly requests for duty in the war zone were granted. On 1 May 1943, he attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander and was ordered to the Staff of Commander Submarines, SEVENTH Fleet, as Force Torpedo and Gunnery Offi- cer. He was promoted to Commander on 1 March 1944 and assumed command of the U.S.S. BREAM on 7 December 1944. The U.S.S. BREAM was the first allied unit to contact the enemy in the second battle of the Philippines, when she severely damaged the heavy cruiser AOBA. Commander MCCALLUM was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star with V , and the Commendation Ribbon with V for his service in the Submarine BREAM. After the war, he served as Submarine Representative for Commander, Mare Island Group, Pacific Re- serve Fleet, and as Executive Officer of the Naval Ordnance Plant, Forest Park, Illinois. From November 1949 to July 1951, he commanded the Destroyer NORRIS. The NORRIS was in the first Atlantic Unit to serve in Korea. Commander McCALLUM was awarded the Gold Star in lieu of a second Bronze Star with V for his service in the Korean Campaign. After a tour as Head, Radar and CIC Branch in OpNav, Commander McCALLUM served as Executive Officer of the U.S.S. SALEM, Flagship of the SIXTH Fleet. He was commissioned Captain on 1 October 1953. From April 1954 to August 1955, he commanded the 55 ships of Mine Squadron FOUR, after which he served as Head of the Guided Missile Branch in the Research Division of the Bureau of Ordnance. He relieved Captain A. R. GRALLA, USN, of command of the U.S.S. NORTON SOUND in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 19 September 1958. Captain and Mrs. MCCALLUM have one daughter, Barbara Jean. executive officer Commander ALLEY was born at Colorado Springs, Colorado, on 4 August 1914. Afterlgraduation from high school in 1933 he enlisted in the Navy. Upon completion of boot training in San Diego, Commander ALLEY was assigned destroyer duty. In 1934, he was assigned to the U.S.S. NEW YORK CBB-343 and served in her until 1942. During this interval he advanced in rating from seaman second class to Warrant Gunner. In June of 1942, Commander ALLEY was commissioned an Ensign, eleven months later he was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade, and on 15 June 1944 he attained the rank of Lieutenant. During these years, Commander ALLEY's stations and duties changed too. Upon detachment from the U.S.S. NEW YORK, he was ordered to the Navy Yard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for duty and, upon being commissioned an Ensign, to Princeton University as a Naval Instructor. He next served as Head of the Ordnance Department at the Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School, Fort Schuyler, New York. Then came a tour of duty as Staff Maintenance and Gunnery Officer on the Staff of Commander Service Squadron TEN and Service Division 104 in the Pacific. The next two years were spent in the Far East as Executive Officer in the U.S.S. NANTAHALA CAO-605 followed by a tour of duty in the U.S.S. WETIK CDDE-8485. On 1 July 1949, Commander ALLEY was selected for Lieutenant Commander, after which he was as- signed to the University of Utah as a student in the five term program. Eighteen months later he received his Bachelor's Degree in Naval Science and was ordered to the Staff of Commander Destroyer Flotilla SIX as ASW and Gunnery Officer. Commander ALLEY was ordered to the General Line School, Monterey, California, for a six months' accelerated course in 1953. After graduation he was ordered to report to the Staff of Commander Carrier Division THREE fCommander Fast Carrier Task Force SEVENTY-SEVEND in Korea- as Surface Operations and Tactical Officer. On 1 January 1955, he was promoted to Commander. Following. the tour of sea duty, Commander ALLEY served as Training Officer at the Fleet Air De- fense Trainmg, Dam Neck, Virginia, and as Executive Officer of the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant, Pomona, California. Commander ALLEY assumed the duties of Executive Officer in the U.S.S. NORTON SOUND CAVM-15 18 May 1958. He and his wife, the former Margie Dewey, have one son, Michael.

About nine men in ten will conclude that this distinction belongs to the Yo-Yo's. For the Administrative Department, headed by Commander ALLEY, is primarily composed of Yeomen and Personnelmen. It is not, however, a racket, as will be stoutly maintained by all who work in the X Division. The two most obvious locations for the Yeomen are the Captain's Office and the Personnel Office. In the first are handled all official correspondence, officers' records, and ship's internal organizational logs. The Personnel Office is in charge of all the enlisted records, request chits, and I.D. and liberty cards. The Chaplain and his office, and the Legal Officer are also part of HX . They are available for help and consultation at any time, and are present at Captain's Masts and other legal functions.

HOLMES, is normally concerned with the operational readiness of the ship. This is the case in peacetime, as Well as under combat conditions. In this department the primary functions include communications, intelligence, and electronics Work. The radars and other tactical detection devices come under its cognizance. In the ship's contacts with other military facilities the Ops Department plays an important role, being concerned with planning and coordinating, as Well as with communications. Another of the depart1nent's jobs is photography. It was necessary to take many pictures on the cruise, and Ops was called on for the job. The study, observation, and prediction of the Weather as it affects the ship are also classified under Operations Department functions.

This was especially true when we crossed the Line on 7 AL1g'l1Sl3- The A9YO8'Faphers keep a weather eye cocked up. They plot and chaft all the fronts and storms, to do two things: show what has happened and is happening, and to guess what is likely to occur in the near future, and how it will affect the ship's operation. These Aerologists were busy with all the climatic variations we encountered. Administration is handled by Yeomen in OI. MISSILE DEPT. The Missile Boss, CDR McHenry H. HOLT, is responsible for the sting of the ship. This may be TERRIER, as has been the case for several years. It may be sub-machine guns, cal. .45 automatics, or sling shots. Or it may involve the X-17 missile, which definitely is not part of the usual armament. Missile department functions involve the actual waging of war, whether it be offensive or defensive. This theory does not quite hold true now, since the NORTON SOUND is not a ship of the line. The ship does, how- ever, still retain an organization similar to other AV-type ships. It must, therefore, have men to maintain decks, run boats, man guns, and operate and check missiles. The Missile Department is specialized for this purpose to fit this ship and is an outgrowth of the former Gunnery Department. NORTON SOUND has no gun crews, but has, instead, a large division of Fire Controlmen, for missile radars, as well as the Third Division, com- posed primarily of Guided Missilemen. To more closely describe these activities the name was recently changed from Gunnery Department to Missile Department. Sailmakers Special sea and anchoring detail Q .

It also has the largest variety of duties. Various rates in the division include Yeoman, Engineman, Machinist's Mate, Aviation Metalsmith, Electronics Technician, and Guided Missileman. Several GS's and ET's man the Telemetering Station. Data reduction, Technical Library, and the Instrumentation Office reduce and interpret much of the data received, and file the Department's clas- sified publications. The largest part of the -division is composed of GS's. From this group the two Missile Test shops are manned. They are respon- sible for upkeep and maintenance on the hangar and launching decks. These were the men who worked on the X-1'7's, and who moved the missile to the launcher during firing operations. fy.. x-, :jss 2 . tt 0 X X A ts X M . . ! i, i .. , , S 4392?

This used to be visual and optical, and then radar came along. Most ships now have FT's to operate their fire control radars. Since NORTON SOUND has launchers instead of mounts her FT's operate the missile guidance radars and computers. The two radars for this are the Mark 25, Mod '7 and the SPQ-5. These two radars control missiles on two different frequencies. The GM-2 and the APL computers are operated by Fox Divi- sion to solve various problems for missiles in flight. For example, different flight paths or trajectories can be programmed out to the missile for its direction. Another operation is the Blockhouse, from which all firings are controlled and visually observed. Thus Fox, as well as other Missile De- partment Divisions, has adapted to the purpose of the NORTON SOUND. .

The B Division's main purpose is to supply main steam to the turbines and generators and to supply a reduced steam to heating systems and galley. Men from this division are in charge of the evaporators, which make fresh Water from salt Water. These evaporators run 24 hours a day to supply fresh Water for the ship. The 4 boilers require Water far more pure than that we drink. Because of the tremendous quantities of Water pumped through these boilers every hour and the disastrous effects of low water, a constant, alert Watch must be maintained. These Watchers come from B Division. Depending on the climate, the temperature in the boiler rooms runs from a comfortable 145013. to that cool enough to require a light jacket. e S gl K l l l Y S F l l i -i E my, it .

I The E Division on the ship consists of Electrician's Mates and Inter- Communications Electricians. EM's have the job of taking care of all ship- board electrical motors, generators, lighting and the distribution of power to every piece of electrical equipment. Since electric power is essential every minute of every day, theirs is a job which is never done. IC-men maintain all sound-powered and Ship's Service phones, the gyro compass, and the MC's and other ship's communication systems. Their talents are constantly required for keeping the Compasses accurate while at sea and for maintaining communications with all parts of the ship. ,www V ,V , , , , , ,W ,X , f v ?,s,r,., f 7 ,f ff, ,s,.,,s,rf, , ,XQWWX X ,, , , www, , , , Vis? s,s,,s, X X ZNWWXV , ,MLM XX , f X SWU4 W X A, , ', ,, ,smsww f X X X 200' , , f,s,s,,X.f,. ,ww W 7 -my X , , ffwkswfrff 0 W ,A ,U , , X,,,X XX Z v, 57,12 'W X WXXX X , W.,,r,4 , ,sv f,W sf Xf' Q WNW , r, ,Www XQXXQXZW , A ,, hw, shi r W fs, f Q X, f-Ax?

Under the leadership of LCDR Oscar N. DALE, the supply people operate under trying circumstances to keep the rest of us Well fed, clothed and housed, as the saying goes. They Were continually pressed to compensate for shortages in orders placed before the cruise, and had to scrape to fill out these orders. The department handles all the details concerned with our feeding and clothing, and procurement and issue of material, from steaks through electronic tubes to fire hose and hot dogs. In recent months the department has Won several awards, and its efficient and meritorious operations have been commended. --' -f-4' - Y--Q gnu! -' S S 5 x X S If ww, RYA ' Q f S Inventory, a blessed event? 9 i s , ' Slice 'em thinner, Jonesey But we never use soap!!

Another important segment of Supply is the stores section, or S-1 Divi- sion. Here We find all the various storerooms, cages, parts bins, and other storage areas that house a wide assortment of supplies and spare parts. Stock control, inventory, and issue of these parts and consumable supplies is the primary function of this portion of the Supply Department. This Was an especially critical function on the cruise, since many replacement parts were required. The other major part of S-1 is the Disbursing Office. Most of us have probably wished, at one time or another, that we could Work here. The disbursing clerks handle all pay records, do the paying, and make out allotments - all of which is a full and continuous job for a small office and staff. - Ng., , JN 1 Wh' W Af -Wx ff 1 ,XY N' fx , X. fs L wx Y 5 , Wx x P Q. f ,ff 2 lx XW,e lx f xv?

It Was, in fact, the job of S-2 Division to keep US happy. The planning of menus over a two-and-one-half month period is not an easy job. Variety had to be provided, and yet the food all had to be carried with us. Probably the only thing any of us really missed was fresh milk, but the substitution of a type of canned milk was acceptable when We got used to it. Retail sales in small stores, ship's store and the soda foun- tain were so brisk that supplies of many items were exhausted long before the cruise was over. The list of things sold PUBS nearly from A to Z - and there was business a-plenty for the division's salesmen. Barber and laundry services are provided on board, and were highly appreciated on the cruise, contributing greatly to the morale of the crew. 3:1 The stewards are well trained to prepare and serve a l'w ?

It is rightly felt that prevention is the more important, since if preven- tion were 1007-, thorough, patching would not be neces- sary. This is not, however, attainable, so we haventhe patchers: Drs. Timberlake and Rozan, and the several Dental Technicians and Hospital Corpsmen. A cruise to or through tropical climate requires extra vigilance and extra protection. Thus we were all ad- ministered booster shots of various types early in the cruise. Pills for ills might be the motto of H Divi- sion for, indeed, most ailments common to sickbay can be cured or prevented with them. Of considerable importance to a person's general disposition and welfare are his teeth. Thus our D Division repairs and fills the teeth we have, or, if need be, makes us new ones. i NAVIGATION There are two rates in the Navigation Department - Quartermaster and Signalman. The Navigator, LT Steve RALPH, Jr., is Department Head as Well as Division Officer, since there is only one Division - N Divi- sion - in the Department. That one division, however, is highly important. The Quartermasters plot our courses and theoretically know our position at all times. They are the ones who say that our estimated time of arrival CETAJ at some point is to be a certain hour, and they have not put out bum dope yet. We usually arrive at our point anywhere from one to several hours ahead of schedule. The Signalmen come into their own only when we are steaming in formation, or when we are in a port with other ships. ,Their job is to transmit messages over visual distances by signal flags or blinker lights and to handle the signal pennants, the colorful flags that mean so much.

WATCHSTANDERS These are the unfortunate few who couldn't be included in the divisional pictures. Since these men represent nearly every division on the ship, it is impossible to say anything about them that hasn't already been said, eX- cept that they were on watch. In the pictures below, we have Ronald Hardy, FT2, left, at the wheel. In the right View is FT3 Floyd McMillen manning the helm phones on the bridge. The other personnel in the group picture stood various radio, radar, lifebuoy, messenger, and engine watches. We understand from a private informer that most of these watches are for our protection.

Yes, the incense chamber A little encouragement Death before diSh0l10r Gentlemen, that isn't regulation rounding the One of the more memorable days of the cruise for many of us was 17 August. This day was clear and calm-and cold. We were at the southern-most point in our travels, with Latitude of 550 59' South and Longitude 670 12' West. For this was the Horn: bleak, rugged, and rocky. This stretch of water is seldom traversed these days, since the Panama Canal has rendered it obsolete. We of the U.S.S. NORTON SOUND should look back, for a moment, to consider those who have rounded the Horn before us-the pioneers. It is customary to award the honor of its discovery to a Hollander, one Captain Willem Cornelis Schouten. In 1616, on the twenty-ninth day of January, the ship UNITY rounded Cape Horn, the first ship to sail across the lower land of America through an open sea. They called the cape, Cape Horn, agfter the home port of the ship. This town of Hoorn, in Holland, was also home to many of the members of the crew. . For this was the greatest of all private exploring voyages. In that era the powerful Dutch East India Company controlled the only then-known passages to India and the East: the Strait of Magellan and the Cape of Good Hope. Other trading companies were barred from use of these waters. One Isaac Le Maire, as the leader of a group, planned to find a new way. He and a few others, including Captain Schouten, subscribed the necessary capital, and Schouten outfitted the two ships with which the cruise was begun. These were the UNITY, of 360 tons burthen and with a sixty-five man crew, and the HOORN, tonnage 110, and a crew of twenty-two. It is unfortunate to note that the HOORN was lost while being breamed. This ship was beached, and fires were lighted to burn off the accumulated grass and weeds. The fire soon burned beyond control, however, as the grass was very dry. Whatever was salvaged was taken aboard the UNITY-for her own use, or for trade. The crew members of the HOORN were also taken aboard and made comfortable. We find ourselves in different circumstances in today's ships. Constructed primarily of steel, in- stead of wood, ours are, of course, much larger and faster. We should note, though, that we, too, were on a voyage of discovery, as were those Hollanders, 342 years ago. Our mission of research and dis- covery is noted elsewhere. our first Contact The first ship We had seen in 23 days was a destroyer escort, U.S.S. COURTNEY CDE-10215. Since the only sight since leaving Port Hueneme, aside from Water, had been the cold and forbidding rocky tip of South America, this DE looked good to us. It brought official mail, that was Welcome, and new movies, which were more so. That's one of the tankers from the Task Group on the right, the U.S.S. NEOSHO QAO-1435. The island in the background is one of the Ascension group. 5 OOO, OOO, 000, OOO pound ice cube No one really knows Wh t 't ' h d. B ' - - - . . real iceberg inany of us haild eveviiyesgeiii.

The early Portu- guese followers of Brazil's discoverer, Pedro Alvares Cabral, took the name Brazilians, or gatherers of Brazil wood. Since that time the' names Rio de J aneiro and Brazil have remained. These two names cast a spell on the imagina- tion of the North American. Early exploration was difficult, due to the north-south direction of most of the rivers. The discovery of gold in Minas Gerais at the end of the 17th century caused Rio to boomg it later became the capital of Brazil. Napoleon forced the King of Por- tugal to flee to Brazil in 1808, and Rio was, for a time, the capital of all Portugal. With foreign investments it has become one of the leading cities of the world. The old Rio of world fame, noted for its mosaic marble sidewalks, is still young in spirit. This is proven by the friendliness and gaiety of the people. It is also reflected in the very beautiful modern architecture. Upon entering the beautiful harbor of Rio de Janeiro We Were impressed by a sight of rare beauty. First is the 1200-foot Sugar Loaf Mountain, which is now topped by a huge tele- vision antenna. Stretching to Sugar Loaf was the thin Wire supporting the only means of reaching the mountain top, the cable car. Then, near the city, is Mt. Corcovado, at the 2320- foot summit of which stands the dramatic 120-foot statue of Christ the Redeemer CChriste Re- demptorb. In our memories of Rio it is certain that these two landmarks will never be forgot- ten. For those Who made the trip to the Summit, or to Sugar Loaf, the magnificent view of the beaches and harbor, especially at night, will give us something Worthwhile to remember. 21 Gun Salute rendered to the Brazilian Navy Perfect formation all the way in 14 B Standby!

This friendly city was the first convenient departure point for Captain Arthur R. GRALLA, the skipper with Whom We accom- plished our mission. New duty in the Bureau of Ordnance Was calling, making it imperative that Captain GRALLA leave before our arrival in home port. Captain James L. P. MCCALLUM, therefore, flew from his duties in Washington to Rio for the ceremony and assumption of command. The cere- mony Was enhanced by the presence of several American diplomatic and consular representatives and Brazilian Naval Officers.

The tiny island of Tobago lies about 20 miles northeast of Trinidad. Trinidad is the most colorful of all the West Indian Islands. Here you may see East Indian Women in tradi- tional dress, calypso-singing Negroes, Portuguese, Africans, and Chinese. There are Moslem mosques, Hindu temples, and bazaars. There are Wonderful roads, beautiful scenery and fine bathing beaches. The climate is splendid and the nights are cool. The most noteworthy thing about Trinidad, While We were there, was the steel band that played for us from the pier. These magicians turn the noise of beaten oil drums into very enjoyable music. through the canal One mark of distinction for a sailor, along with crossing the Line and rounding the Horn, is the Panama Canal passage. Crossing the Isthmus requires about eight hours of daylight. To our pilot, Who has logged nearly 6,000 transits, our trip was purely routine. The locks stepped us up to stream-fed Gatun Lake, which is 86 feet above sea level. Ships passing through take advantage of the fresh Water to flush the main lines and Wash off the salt Water. Our crew did this, and Washed down each other, too. The channel gradu- ally narrows to dense tropical growth and high sheer cliffs, With an occasional Waterfall spilling into the lake. The Miraflores Locks stepped us down to the Pacif- ic side and We entered the Fort Rodman pier at sun- down. IF ' N ,.,, 44- ima:- -.
