H TRENT 57 MEDICAL OFFICERS H DIVISION USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41) The USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41) is the fourth Nuclear Powered Guided Missile Cruiser of the Virginia Class. The nuclear propulsion plant provides ARKANSAS with the endurance and capability to operate with other conventional and nuclear powered ships over extended periods of time and over great distances. The mission of the USS ARKANSAS is to operate offensively in the presence of air, surface, or subsurface threats independently or in support of convoys, and high speed task forces. To accomplish ARKANSAS' mission, she has been equipped with the latest technology and equipment. With a fully integrated combat system she has the capabilities to quickly detect target, perform high speed digital data processing, and employ powerful weaponry. Weapons delivery can be accomplished against hostile forces by utilizing two multi-purpose guided missile launchers (anti- air and anti-submarine missiles), two 5 54 caliber guns, anti-air, surface, or shore), two three barrel torpedo tubes, two Harpoon anti-shipping missile launchers, and two Tomahawk long range missile launchers. In order to maintain these sophisticated systems in the highest state of readiness, 40 officers and 530 enlisted men comprise the crew. It is the job of these men to make ARKANSAS a Defender of Opportunity for our country. ARKANSAS' first deployment was to the Mediterranean from November 10, 1982 to May 20, 1983. In July 1983, ARKANSAS changed homeports, moving from Norfolk, Va. to Alameda, Ca. In her first WESTPAC '7th Fleet deployment, ARKANSAS distinguished herself as an elite addition to the Pacific Fleet. Operational tasking requirements ultimately led ARKANSAS on a spectacular Around the World Cruise . In 1984, on her annual Operational Reactor Safeguards Exam (ORSE) ARKANSAS received an overall Excellent , becoming the first Pacific Fleet nuclear powered surface ship to earn that grade since 1978, and furthered that mark by receiving another overall Excellent for the secor iraight year in December, 1985. In January 198©, ARKANSAS got underway for her second WESTPAC deployment. After • ■ iting in the Indian Ocean she transited the Suez Canal and operated in the Mediterranean Sea in the vicinity of Libya. I ?S ARKANSAS returned to Alameda in August, 198© after transiting around Africa and serving in all four numbered fleet- Recent awards include: Anti- submarine Warfare A , Damage Control DC , Combat Information Center E , Missile E , Gunnery 'E ', Engineering E , and Communications C . i 61 USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41) SIGNIFICANT FEATURES Mission ........

GETTING THE JOB DONE. . . Long hours of hard work is a routine part of Navy life at sea. ARKANSAS shipmates traditionally do whatever it takes to ' get the job done. TAKING TIME OUT Often just a few quick hours to relax and enjoy the quiet time off. Over the next four pages ARKANSAS crewmembers take “time-out their own way.
