USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41) WEST PAC ’94 SHIP’S CREST - The crest of USS ARKANSAS was designed by Barbara Ann Hyatt of Forrest City, Arkansas. Ms. Hyatt submitted her winning design in a statewide contest sponsored by the Arkansas Navy League and judged by the USS ARKANSAS crew. The crest incorporates features of the Arkansas state Hag together with traditional nautical symbols. The center of the crest contains a profile of the ship. The four stars signify that this is the fourth United States Ship to bear the name ARKANSAS. The motto of the state of Arkansas is “Land of Opportunity hence the motto of USS ARKANSAS is “Defender of Opportunity. The diamond-shaped figure, imprinted with the ship’s motto, i an artistic rendition of the diamond on the Arkansas state flag, and signifies that it is the only diamond producing state in the Union. The fouled anchors and braided line are traditional insignia of seafarers. OMMANDING OFFICER Captain Etnyre’s press conference in Melbourne Captain Terrance T.

While serving as LCPO for this 400 man department they were the first ship to eam a grade of Excellent during their March, 1993 Operational Reac- tor Safeguards Exam. Master Chief Chute came to the USS ARKANSAS (CGN 41) in November of 1993 following his selection to the Command Master Chief Program. CMC takes a break to pose MISSION AND HISTORY OF USS ARKANSAS (CGN 41) USS ARKANSAS (CGN 41) is the fourth nuclear powered guided missile cruiser of the Virginia class. The nuclear propul- sion plant provides ARKANSAS with the endurance and capability to operate with other conventional and nuclear ships over extended periods of time and over great distances. The mission of USS ARKANSAS is to operate offensively in the presence of air. surface, or subsurface threats either inde- pendently or in support of sea lift convoys, high speed aircraft carrier task forces. Maritime Action Groups, or amphibious task forces. Because of her extensive command, control, and communications suite, ARKANSAS is particularly well suited for joint operations with units from other armed forces, both American and allied. To accomplish ARKANSAS’ mission, she has been equipped with the latest technology and equipment. With a fully inte- grated combat system she has the capabilities to quickly detect modem high speed targets, perform high speed digital data pro- cessing and employ powerful weaponry. ! Weapons delivery can he accomplished against hostile forces by utili:ing two multi-purpose guided missile launchers (anti-air, anti-submarine missiles), two 5 54 caliber guns (anti-air, anti-surface, or shore bombardment), two three-barrel torpedo tubes, two harpoon anti-shipping missile launchers, and two Tomahawk anti-shipping and long range missile launchers. ARKANSAS’ most recent awards include: Battle Efficiency Award (Battle “E ). Maritime Warfare Excellence Award (Black “E”), Engineering Survivahility Excellence Award (Red E”), Command and Control Excellence Award (Green “E ). Logistics Management Excellence Award (Blue E”). Type Commander’s Mission Area Excellence Award for Electronic Warfare. Type Commander’s Golden Anchor Award for Retention Excellence, Type Commander’s Surface Ship Safety Award (Green “S ). and Chief of Naval Operations Surface Ship Safety Award. Headed by the Chief Engineer, the Engineering Log Room keeps all of the auxiliary and nuclear divisions working together as a team. The planning for all work schedules, major evolutions, and watch bills is accomplished here. The Log Room also handles all of the essential administrative tasks of the department, provides 3M (supply) coordination and computer support, serves as a storage location for technical data, and provides office and meeting space.

As the keepers of hot, cold water and air, we are always in demand by the remainder of the crew. We are responsible for maintaining equipment from the lowest pump rcx)m bilge, tip to the ships whistle .... and everywhere in between. The division is divided up into four work centers, EAOl, EA02, EA03, and EA04- EAOl work center is responsible for maintaining aft steering, stores conveyors, anchor windlasses, cap- stans, weapons elevators, and the sliding padeyes. EA02 work center is responsible for maintaining the ships’ emergency diesel generators, small boats, winches, and the JP'5 system, including the in-flight refueling of helicopters. Work center EAO.3 is responsible for maintaining the ships air conditioning and refrigeration system also the ice machines, and the prairie air masker system. Work center EA04 is responsible for maintaining the ship’s laundry equipment, galley equipment, hot water heaters, reboiler, and A gang’s favorite piece of equipment, the ship’s whistle. So, as you can see from this list of equipment, the A-Gangers had a very busy cruise in the hot Persian Gulf. They supported the ship’s Tf? many and varied evolu- tions, while we enforced the United Nations sanc- tions against Iraq.

ER02 is the sheet metal, pipe, welding, and machinery shop. They fabricate metal fixtures, weld, braze, and machine parts to keep vital machinery systems in operation. ER04 is responsible for maintaining four Repair Lockers, which arc used for emergencies such as fires and flooding. They also train crew in Dam- age Control techniques, ensuring that all will respond rapidly to any casualty. ER09 maintains all of the Damage Control fittings throughout the entire ship. This work center is responsible for maintaining all water- tight fittings, as well as the fire extinguishers, ventilation systems, and fire hose stations. The deployment was a busy period for Repair Division. During a joint operation with the Royal Saudi Arabian Navy, the DCmen and HT’s conducted training aboard the RSAS TAMAAK. MRl BECKER Meanwhile, the MR’s turned out numerous parts for work centers all over the ship.

This includes both the 60 hz system (the same as the wiring in a house) and the special frequency (400 hz) equipment which provides power for ship’s weapon systems. During the deployment, Electrical Division made substantial contribu- tions to the ship’s total readiness and habitability by making many impor- tant repairs. The Electrician’s Mates of E Division were often called upon to perform corrective maintenance on the ship’s four air conditioning units, which provide vital cooling for sensitive electronic gear (and crew living spaces, too!). To help the ship maintain its combat capabilities, the division also assisted in the repairs of a large motor that provides hydraulic power for the aft missile launcher. E Division personnel rewound two motors during the deployment using the extensive rewind facilities in the “E” Shop. Overall, Electrical Division responded to over 1000 “trouble calls”, ranging from minor comfort items to essential equipment. Every trouble call was answered by one of the division’s duty electrician-qualified personnel. In addition to all of the above, E Division supported many of the ship’s evolutions, including Flight Quarters, Sea and Anchor detail, and Under- way Replenishment. E Division provided many emergency personnel for the at-sea fire party. One final task for E Division was to ensure that the lighting for security and identification at sea were maintained. There were also some not-so- official lights required during the deployment. The division was called upon frequently to rig “friendship” lights, which crown the ship, spanning from the forecastle to the fantail. Based on the above, it is not hard to see how E Division personnel kept busy throughout the deployment.

Traveling the world allowed the menofS-2 to show our inspiring culinary talents. By hosting lun- cheons and dinners in Japan, Singapore, and Australia, ARKANSAS became an ambassador of goodwill, and pre- sented a positive view of not only the U.S. Navy, but the United States as well. Through seeing exotic people and places and doing the missions we have trained for, S-2 made many happy memories, but none as happy as those made coming home.

At sea, the crew performs the daily challenging tasks of the American blue jacket, but in port they are U.S. Ambassadors of good will. Fifty eight sailors volunteered over 430 hours to help the children of these distant lands. From the smiles on both the sailor’s and chil- dren’s faces, it’s difficult to say who got more out of these special projects. ARKANSAS participated in seven community relations projects during our deployment including: - Stripping and repainting a fence surround- ing a school for the mentally handicapped in Hong Kong. - Repainting the interior and a fence sur- rounding a Hong Kong day care center. - Repainting the interior and constructing a rope play set for the Gravenhaven Children’s Home in Singapore, run by the Salvation Army, a project lasting two days. - Troubleshooting and repairing a lighting system malfunction at the Singapore Boy’s Brigade. - Erecting an outdoor shed, stripping desks, and tying down over a hundred newly plant- ed trees at a Christian community school for children in Rockingham, Australia - Field day (spring house cleaning) of a chil- dren’s hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
