This book is about the new ship and her first deployment as a jumbo and it's our hope that you'll see what new meant to this crew. Strongly resembling the new AOR fre- plenishment oilerj type ship now being in- troduced to the Service Force, ASHTABULA is the first of a three ship class--virtually a new ship from keel to radar mast, 0 The old ASHTABULA underwent exten- S1 . . . . ve modification in 1968, when an entirely new 400-foot midbody was inserted .and welded between the original bow and original stern. As a result of her rebirth , ASHTA- BULA has increased her liquid cargo ca- pacity to six and a half million ga11eHS. Of black oil, JP-5 aviation fuel and aviation gasoline. ONE STOP Total displacement when fully loaded has been increased to over 37,000 tonS compared to the old ASHTABULA'S 25,009 tons. Keeping in step with the one stop underway replenishment concept, ASHTA' BULA can now carry over 500 tons of storeS, frozenfdry provisions, mail, fleet, frelght and 2400 tons of bombs, 1fJ1'0leCt11eS,and missiles. . Like the larger AOE, ASHTABULA.1S designed to support the aircraft carrier' task groups. With this mission, ASHTA- BULA will provide all replenishment Te' quirements of the task gI'OL1PS in the Com- bat zone. The most valuable product ASHTA- BULA can give the task groups is time-- time saved alongside. Alongside time is reduced from replenishment by the old three ship method of oiler, ammunition ship and stores ship to one replenishment by ASHTABULA every three days. Her modernization includes the addition of a new auxiliary electrical machinery plant that provides power to 33 deckwinches,two cargo weapons elevators, cargo pumps and air conditioning plants .When translated into pumping capacity, this means that ASHTA- BULA can now maintain a pumping rate in excess of 1.2 million gallons per hour. Perhaps the most unique feature about ASHTABULA is her Sea View panel. Like a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea sequel where the movements of future spacecraft are controlled by operators sit- x 7,,m,,.:,.,1......, ,---- - -. .........- V - - ting at large control panels,ASHTABULA's cargo control team sits at a large 20- foot by six-foot panel from which all the valves of the intricate piping system are remotely controlled. From here, all fuel quantities, pumping rates, tanks to be pumped from and fuel temperatures are monitored and controlled even though cargo control central never actually sees the customer. Phone talkers connect with the customers and relay fuel requirements to cargo control central which replies with black oil, JP-5 and aviation gas . RETRACTABLE PAD Another contemporary feature of the new ASHTABULA is a retractable helo- copter pad. This pad can be utilized for transferring cargo other than fuel--such as mail, lubricants and even personnel. A., W, 5,14 I Q f ,Mb yy S, ,Q 5 WSSWQQD xg?

Sometimes we felt like we wanted to scuttle the ship when it seemed everything was breaking down falways in the middle of the nightl, but in the final analy- sis it is always the people that make up a ship's personality and it's the crew that dictates the final performance. ASHTA- BULA made a reputation of good perfor- mance throughout the Western Pacific and after all, it did get us there and back! fff f f f 'xx .f 5, f -1 Q ns' 5 Z! ,,.,- i 1? 1 2' P!

These boilers are just a little larger than you might think. They generate heat well over 650 degrees that creates the steam which powers our turbines. This Hot Water provides 13,000 horsepower to each screw and thus the ASHTABULA Sails . The men work in the fire room, in temperatures that sometimes reach 140 degrees. Believe it OI' not, they like it and they II1USt, because ASHTABULA has never had any boiler failures or late commitments .

When ASHTABULA was con- verted to her present size, a whole new array of electrical machinery was added. Like A Division, which was responsible for everything that moved, E Division is responsible for everything that you plug in, In the modern Navy it's hard tofind anything that is not electrically powered. Early in the cruise, E Division voted to convert to steam power but by the end they had things under control. The prob- lems were manyg from the Cap- tain's toaster to 5 ton weapons elevatorsg they had to fix them all. The IC men showed our movies and stood watches over our gyro compasses. mins.
