' ' -  COMMODORE JOHN BARRY John BARRY was born in 1 745 in the Village of Ballysampson in Wexford County, Ireland, and was only ten when he ran away from an oppressed Ireland as a cabin boy on a merchantman. BARRY adopted America as his home, and at 21 was a merchant shipmaster out of Philadelphia. At 30, he had become one of the colonies most renowned sea Captains, and holder of the speed record for the trans-Atlantic route. When the American Revolution began, BARRY at once embraced the cause of the colonies. He offered his services and received the first commission in the Continental U.S. Navy. Between the years 1776 and 1780 BARRY distinguished himself in various Naval engagements while commanding such ships as the Lexington, Effingham, Raleigh and the Alliance. BARRY fought the last engagement of the Revolutionary War on March 10, 1783. Three British frigates sought to intercept him off the coast of Florida but he fought them off, badly damaging the frigate SYBIL. Following the cessation of hostilities he was appointed to superintend the building of the frigate UNITED STATES in Philadelphia, which he commanded thereafter. In 1793, President George Washington called upon BARRY to serve as the Navy ' s senior and first commissioned officer with the title of Commodore. It was at this time that he gained the reputation as the Father of the American Navy , having been instrumental in the establishment of the Navy Department. In September, 1803, after many years of service to his country. Commodore BARRY died at his home in Philadelphia where he is buried. BARRY I The first BARRY (DD-2) was built by the Neafie and Levy Shipyard, Philadelphia, Pa., and launched on 22 March, 1902, under the sponsorship of Miss Charlotte Adams BARNES, great grandniece of Commodore BAR- RY. Commissioned on 16 February 1903, BARRY had an overall length of 250 feet; extreme beam of 23 feet; maximum draft of six feet, six inches; maximum speed of 28 knots; and, armament of two 3 50 caliber guns and two 18 inch torpedo tubes. She served in World War I and was placed out of commission on 28 June 1919. The second BARRY (DD-248) was built by the N ew York Shipbuilding Company and launched under the sponsorship of Mrs. Shelton E. MARTIN, great grandniece of Commodore BARRY. Commissioned on 15 November 1921, BARRY had an overall length of 314 feet; extreme beam of 31 feet; maximum draft of 9 ' and a half feet; maximum speed of 33 knots; and armament of four 4 50 caliber guns. One 3 23 caliber anti-aircraft gun, and four 21 -inch triple deck torpedo tubes. She served in World War II until decommissioned on 21 June 1945. BARRY II The third BARRY (DD-933) was launched on 1 October, 1955 and was commissioned on 7 Septem- ber 1956 at Boston Naval Shipyard as one of the FORREST SHERMAN (DD-931) class. She was the third of her class to be built, however she was the first of her class to be placed out of commission for an extensive Anti-Submarine Warfare modernization. tiAI RY 111 -«l I BARRY III POST CONVL, BARRY III During this period BARRY was equipped with the latest modifications to her long range sonar, and employs this accurate sensor with an underwater battery fire control computer - one of the most sophisticated of its kind. This computer directs the fire of the Anti-Submarine Rocket System (ASROC) located aft, and the dual triple torpedo mounts forward. Another advance which was added somewhat later is the IVDS or Independent Variable Depth Sonar which enables BARRY to track submarines which attempt to hide under temperature layers at variable depths. An enlarged communications center and Combat Information Center were also included in the conversion. These modifications give BARRY one of the most advanced AntiSubmarine Warfare systems in the Navy. A secondary mission of the BARRY is to provide shore bombardment in support of Amphibious assault and ground forces. Her two rapid-fire 5 54 guns, mounted forward and aft, provide an effective deterrent to modern aircraft and surface targets. BARRY is 420 feet long with a maximum beam of 45 feet. Fully loaded she displaces 4000 tons with a navigational draft of 20 feet. She is designed to travel at extended periods at speeds over 30 knots. Her main propulsion plant consists of four high-pressure boilers (1200 lbs PSD and two main engines driving twin four bladed propellers. Maximum power developed by the plant is 20000 kilowatts of power, while her evaporators will produce 24,000 gallons of fresh water daily. She accelerates and maneuvers in the best destroyer tradition while possessing superior riding characteristics. Modern air-conditioned working spaces and living compartments are provided for a crew of 300 officers and men. Complete facilities are available for a squadron commander and his staff. On this cruise, COMDESRON 10 used BARRY as his flagship. s:i T ' dUllfif Captain Richard N. MOSS was commissioned in November 1942. Shortly after commissioning he was assigned to USS (DD-487) where he served until April 1945. He was next assigned to the pre-commissioning detail for USS CHARLES R. WARE (DD-865). He finished his tour in WARE as Executive Officer in November 1947, assuming command of USS LSM 389 where he served until January 1950. After tours ashore at General Line School, Monterey and Naval Amphibious Training Unit, Little Creek, Captain MOSS returned to sea duty in February 1952 as Commanding Officer of USS RAYMOND (DE-341). Subsequent tours included duty on the Staff of Commander Operational Development Force and Commander Amphibious Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. In October 1958 Captain MOSS assumed command of USS ROBERT M. MC CARD (DD-822), serving until June 1960 at which time he was assigned to USS MACON (CA-132) as Executive Officer. He also served on Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet Staff, Naval War College Staff and as Commanding Officer of USS TRUCKEE (AO-147). Prior to being ordered as Commander Destroyer Squadron TEN, Captain MOSS served on the Joint Staff of the Joint Chief of Staff. Captain MOSS is married to the former Miss Winifred WALKER of Wilson, North Carolina. They have one child and currently reside in Middletown, R.I. cowiMSiion 10 THE STAFF The staff of COMDESRON TEN, better known as THEM came aboard in August and set up thier own routine aboard the flagship. A change in the normal activity aboard the BARRY was immediately apparent. The Quarterdeck Watch learned 37 new ways to announce the arrival and departure of the Commodore. The signalmen had to learn what a broad command pennant was and several JO ' s had to find new parking places. Once underway, however, things began to smooth out. The staff watch offices quickly learned the best sleeping . . . er, working positions from the Radarmen. With varied services, ranging from detailed guidance on how to apply for permanent shore duty in Mozambique, to marriage consolations by the Chaplain, with a Xerox copy or two thrown in, the staff contributed to making life aboard the BARRY more interesting. The Bridge Watches became familiar with the haggard figure stumbling onto the bridge about 0530, asking if the time zones had shifted again. Postal clerks had a hell of a time explaining to the crew why 25 out of every 40 bags of mail went to the staff. Radio discovered that 1 (ship) + 1 (staff) = 4 rather than 2 times the message traffic, while supply came up with a great effort in Antwerp to prevent the loss of the paper war. And that my friends, is what you have to face as a flagship. LESRon 10 sums Commander Thomas H. Sherman was born in Baltimore, Maryland on March 19, 1926 and attended schools there and in Annapolis prior to entering the Navy as a seaman in 1944. Following enlisted service, he entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis by Fleet appointment in 1946. Graduating in 1950, he was assigned to duty in Aircraft Carriers, Mine Sweepers and Destroyers. His first command, in 1953, was the USS BAR- BET (AMS-41); while his most recent command at sea was in the USS MCCLOY (DE-1038). Shore duty, principally concerned with his sub-specialty of Anti-Subma- rine Warfare has been with the Office of Naval Research, the Bureau of Naval Personnel, and in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. In the latter tour he was with the DX DXG program which was organized to initiate the total package procurement of new Destroyers. Graduate work has included the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey where Commander Sherman earned a Master of Science Degree and the Naval War College at Newport where he was graduated from the Naval Warfare Course. JU£ SK3PP£R ' JH£ exec Lieutenant-Commander Thibault was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Lieutenant-Commander Thibault was graduated from Tufts University in 1955. He attended Officer Candidate School at Newport, and was commis- sioned in June, 1956. His first tour was on the Staff of the Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic as Cryptographic Security Officer and Aide. He then was instructor of Military Justice at Officer Candidate School until ordered to the USS MULIPHEN (AKA-61 ) as First Lieutenant and later as Navigator and Communications Officer. In 1960 he received a Master of Arts degree from the Graduate School of Boston University. On completion of CIC training a t GLYNCO, Georgia and weapons training at Damm Neck, Virginia he was assigned to the USS ROBINSON (DD-562) as Weapons Officer. This followed by a tour as Operations Officer and Senior Watch Officer on the USS SOLEY (DD-707). Prior to reporting to the USS BARRY (DD-933) as Executive Officer, he spent three years in France as USN Exchange Officer at the French Naval Academy. .6 V,ot =,Vv otv f ; H.

Whether we ' re on a working party, painting our space, field daying, or just plain keeping out of the Chief ' s way we all have our shoulder to the wheel, ear to the ground and our eye on the clock. Probably the most popular two words on the BARRY are Holiday Routine which usually turns out to mean Holiday for the Officers and Routine for the crew. =ci. NOV Z CA(4CELLEt .

Armed with dividers, parallel rulers, and the latest edition of PLAYBOY, we fight a never ending battle to inform the Bridge, correct the OM ' s, and deprive the ET ' s of sleep. Our multiple tasks include ASW (after all we are an ASW ship). Gunfire Support (when they work). Navigation (we have OM ' s??), Communications (what radiomen?), and the collec- tion, evaluation and dissemination of any kind of tactical or strategic information. This we do with the aid, (or in spite of) the CICWO, the JL talkers, the lookouts, radiomen, FT ' s, signalmen, sonarmen and the bridge. So remember that you can sleep well, because in CIC, a taut watch is always maintained. The Radarmen always have the Big Picture. Old Radarmen never die, they just go into prolonged fades.

ON Divi- sion encompases Postal Clerks, Corpsmen, Quartermasters, Yeomen, and Personnelmen, with Signalmen and Radio- men in OC Division. All administrative duties are handled by the Yeomen, Personelmen and Postal Clerks; Quarter- masters handle the rather delicate task of ship ' s naviga- tion, while the Signalmen and Radiomen are in charge of all incoming and out going communications, using radio, flashing light, and semaphore. Ship ' s sanitation and body repair work are handled by our Corpsmen. As unlikely as it may seem, this diverse group of men is one of the most tightly knit units on the ship, except when Liberty Call goes— then it ' s every man for himself.

In reality we do these things only after the essentials of painting, dusting, scrubbing and myraid other musts of even more dubious nature. Only then are we allowed to concern ourselves with such trifles as the security of the ship to finally get down to the Nitty Gritty of a minimum of troubleshooting followed by a maximum of paper work. In the course of service and repair, if there is a rate we haven ' t had to become, the Navy hasn ' t thought of it. OE Division might be more aptly described as Galli slaves, Auxiliary Supply, or the Psycho Ward of 933 comprised of such classical cases as: D— DO, the Dude, Super Shutter, Magilla Gorilla, Micro Stout and Wheels, Wild man of Cicero, with an occassional assist from Maximus Dingus. A degree of insanity aboard any such vessel is always an asset, but in our case, it ' s an absolute necessity. Ever climb a mast in the middle of the rolling Atlantic, or troubleshoot a framus whose operation can only be described as witchcraft? Everyone at times (all times) feels a bit maligned or unsung ; but that ' s all right, ' cause we love it, don ' t we boys? Man overboard, port side. All hands man your stations ' Looks like he ' s got Number One tied to the back of that Renault. it Mvusuon First Division or Deck Ape Division as it is more often called, is composed of approximately 43 iron men, led by LT (jg) No Quarter SULZNER, the First Lieutenant. The main functions of this division are mooring and anchoring the ship which generally entails letting the anchor go and hoping that it won ' t wrench the bow off - and the all important job of painting over the rust on the ship. No Slack is the watch- word of the day with the Boatswains Mates, and it isn ' t at all surprising to find men over the side on holidays. Of course the line tenders may duck into a fan room for a few winks, but who cares? Enter the First Lieutenant — as everything sudden- ly becomes mass confusion — the great fan room furge is on!!

The Barrymen were more than eager to hit the beach here, but one had to watch out for the seawall - it was never in the same place for long. Among the sights on the usual tour, was the 14th Century Gothic Cathedral - the largest in Belgium. Other places of interest were the home of Rubens, and the Municipal Museum, which has some of the best examples of 17th Century Flemish Masters in Europe. Of course the real point of interest was the availability of enter- tainment. One had only to pick up a phone book and look up Bars . . . sort of reminds one of the physicians listing in the New York City phone book. The English may have their Afternoon Tea but stand by when the people of Antwerp head for the cafes and their afternoon beer. The officers took an English Pub — The Red Lion by storm and held out against all comers for 7 days. The rest of the crew was content to visit the other 4,983 taverns, cafes and pubs along with the favorite American pastime - girl watching. The ship was a bit of a tourist attraction in itself How did you know that we ' re tourists?

Knapsacks, knapsacks everywhere must be something to them — look at that figurel At least in Antwerp you could afford to drink. Winter is definitely here - the frost is on the pumpkin. The Fjord was steaming with fog when we came in. Our abrupt departure from Oslo sparked many rumors which offered an explanation to the situation. Several of the best were: leaving before the cockroaches discover we ' re gone; someone committed a super no no on the beach and the ship must leave post-haste, (the ambassador ' s daughter); 16 weeks refresher in GTMO; going to pick up lettuce; invited to a sailing regatta in Bar Harbor; part of a military coup to take over U. S. Government from civilians; going to Afghanistan to help out with an irrigation project. BEBGf. Ul« . . . t the lot- count ' • traffic little ten:; officeii.

In reality everyone was so glad to touch ground again, that we didn ' t worry about anything but beating a fast path to the local Disco . There were tours to all of the Scandanavian countries. For three days in Oslo, there certainly was a lot of traffic between Bergen Oslo. Touring the country side in a little rented car seemed like a great idea to three of the officers. They almost didn ' t come back — it seems that an Austin Mini wasn ' t designed for grades steeper than 20-. The boys who had visited Mildenhall from Oslo seemed anxious for a repeat performance.

That sounds like a quote from a DESLANT PIO blurb. LeHavre was eventful though. Barrymen held up well under combat conditions when they met Tattnall sailors on the beach. Many of us went to Paris, London, and various quiet spots in the country- side. Paris is truly the city of height. Nothing like being an American montourist - eating hot dogs under the Eifel Tower. The art museums and galleries were true to expectation. For some reason there didn ' t seem to be as many girls as we expected. London was tremendous - the people spoke English if nothing else! The Tower of London and West- minster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, Carnaby Street, Buckingham Palace - and, ... we found the girls. What a fashion show!

These rates are; Sonarnnen, Torpedomen, and ASROC Gunner ' s Mates. They are related in the fact that working together (who ' s kidding who?) they form a precise and aggres- sive ASW Attack Team aboard the BARRY. ASW Division under the tight supervision of Ens. Guns Averill (who by the way was expelled from the Naval War College for his killer and, give them no slack attitude) leads or follows his men into action. Third Division is responsible for the maintenance and oper- ation of the Anti-Submarine Weapons aboard BARRY. These weapons are sophisticated (about the only thing that ' s sophis- ticated in the division) and most awesome in todays Navy. Once out of the rack, we turn to everyday in the hopes that submarine contact will be made.

' It can well be said that a destroyers ' ability to carry out her mission depends highly upon the state of readiness of her propulsion equipment, auxiliary systems, and the machinery associated with them. It can honestly be said that a destroyers ' ability to seek out and destroy relies upon her Engineers. More vital than the most advanced weaponry, the operation of the Main Engines and Boilers is our prime duty. Knowing that we are ready to answer all bells means more to us than the hours we spend, the liberty we miss or the meals we don ' t eat to keep us ready. Take us for granted you topside dogs , we are a determined bunch who stop at nothing to keep this destroy- er ready to steam.

An electrician might be found checking out for himself, the path of electricity between two points. A Interior Communica- tions man, working ? A flash from within a space could mean someones butane lighter just went off in their pocket or ... a ship fitter weld- ing? All in all R Division makes the ship a safe place to live - if you like fire drills, unheated spaces and leaky faucets! I wonder if Mr. Miller will miss this.

Of course we all know Supply really does an important job aboard the ship. Supply operates the general mess, the Ward- room mess, the Ships Store, Laundry and Barbership, and most important of all they give out that green stuff every other Thursday. And occasionally they provide a man for a working party.
