Berkeley, United States Marine Corps, who completed more than 40 years of active service before retiring in 1939. General Berkeley saw action in the Spanish-American War in 1889, the First World War, and the Battiefof Vera Cruz in 1914 for which he earned the Nation's highest award, the Medal of Honor. Though considerably larger than the destroyers which saw action in the Battle of the Coral Sea, USS BERKELEY is still a fast, highly maneuverable destroyer. In addition, she possesses anti-submarine and anti-air warfare capabilities that are infinitely greater than those of her forebears. Her arma- ment includes the TARTAR surface-to-air' guided missile weapons system, the ASROC Qanti-submarine rocketj weapons system, anti-submarine torpedoes, and a 5 54 caliber gun battery which is effective against both surface and air targets. BERKELEY is equipped with the most modern communications and electronics installations and is capable of detecting, tracking, and delivering rapid salvos of missiles and projectiles against enemy targets, be they in the air, on the sea, under the sea, or on land. USS BERKELEY has an overall length of 437 feet, a beam of 47 feet, and a displacement of 4,500 tons. She carries 25 officers and 340 enlisted men, all of whom are provided with modern accommodations, including air conditioning of all living spaces and many working areas. THE CRUISE During the 199 days BERKELEY was deployed to the Western Pacific she steamed 50,187 miles at an average speed of 17.5 knots, consuming 3,583,946 gallons of fuel oil. Her supply department issued 853,194.84 worth of consumables and 335,906.31 worth of repair parts. Prior to the Coral Sea Celebration, BERKELEY crewmen had purchased 31,794.69 worth of stamps and mailed 4,538 pounds of letters and packages. They received back 12,868 pounds of mail. From the same post office, S102,649,88 worth of money orders were issued.

RICINAK Skippering the BERKELEY on the first leg of her WESTPAC cruise was Capt. RICINAK, A graduate of the U.S, Merchant Marine Academy in 1944 he soon saw action in the WW ll Pacific Theatre while on board the USS NORTON SOUND, Peacetime duty following the war included assignment to the USS NESPOLEN QAV-551 and graduate school at Miami University of Ohio where he met and married Mrs. Ricinak, the then Miss Rose Johnson. Capt. Ricinak was finishing instruction at the Navy General Line School, Monterey when the Korean Conflict began. Once again he was back in the Pacific, this time aboard the USS ESSEX QCVA-91, later Korean duty included assignment as Opera- tions Officer aboard the USS HYMAN QDD- 7323. ln 1953 the Captain shifted to the East Coast and staff duty with COMDES- LANT. In 1956, he was transferred to the Naval Reactors Branch of the Atomic Energy Commission, 1958 through 1960 saw him as Exec of both the USS BRISTOL QDD-8573 and the USS DEWEY QDLG-141. Prior to reaching the BERKELEY in 1964, Capt. Ricinak had a tour of shore duty with both BUPE RS and the then Under Secretary of the Navy, Paul Fay. The men ofthe BERKELEY served under him for two years and saw him make Captain in November of 1966. In January of 1966 Capt. Ricinak was relieved at sea in the Tonkin Gulf following a very fine tour aboard BERKELEY. He now serves as Chief of Staff, COMCRUDESFLOT 7.

This followed a tour of duty in com- mand of USS BRONSTEIN QDE-10371, one of the U, S, Navy's most advanced Anti- Submarine Warfare ships. After graduation from the U,S. Naval Academy in 1951, CDR SMEDBERG served in the Battleship WISCONSIN QBB-645 for three years, during which period the ship, although homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, spent 14 months in the Western Pacific dur- ing and after the Korean War. This tour was followed by two years in the Atlantic Fleet Destroyer USS BEATTY QDD-7569. In subsequent sea duty, he has served as Commanding Officer of USS LAWRENCE COUNTY QLST-887j, as Executive Officer of USS JOHN A BOLE QDD-7755, and as CO of BRONSTEIN, all homeported in San Diego, California. With the exception of attending the Naval War College in 1961-62, both of CDR SMEDBERG's shore duty tours have been in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations -- the Fleet Operations Division in 1956-58 and the Strategic Plans Division in 1962-64.

The BERKELEY was on search and rescue duty and one of her most vital arms, the helicopter, was to bring in the new C.O. When all the orders were read and when new skipper said to old, I relieve you, Sir , what passed between the two men was a ship already at sea, already' in the heart of a most vital and dangerous task. Battle stations were manned throughout the ceremony. At a moment's notice the whole event might have been called off in order to respond to a call for assistance. Such was not the case however. The weather was balmy and the Tonkin was relatively quiet that day. X .V .-. , mx ff 'NX . N n ., is R NX N wx V .. A 1 VXI Q t X i xx, .. ss N.

Our first foreign port stop was at Subic Bay, flower ofthe East. Except for a few lucky ones who slipped out to Manila, it was Grande Island or Olongapo. Unfortunately we have no pictures of Olongapo. Last time a sailor tooka carn- era into the town, someone lifted it. ShiD's Party at Cubi Beach. The grand finale to WestPac and just prior to leaving for Australia was the Grande Island Party. A lot of right arms were exercised but not much else. The troops ,just were not quite themselves on the ride back to the ship. SASEBO, JAPAN A familiar group assembled in downtown Sasebo each evening. Moose and Keller with an occasional assist from other quarters kept the BERKELEY entertained. The Black Rose became an institution during the ship's stay in that city thanks to the two music makers. 5 ?f YE2tE x.i+.,x-sinqx , J , . 4, w.. ag? 7 5, RQQ A, e d QE N V fbifzgyzv VVVV K ' A V tx ji ' ?fV!Y'4 'Nw SNOW Sasebo weather decked out the ship in winter colors.

There was no doubt about that. .sm,,f i.ue., 5 tat i 5 211.53956 . v i' HONG KONG Although Japan had contrasts, Hong Kong was just plain un- believable. The island in a sea of Communism defied explana- tion. Her Majesty's Commodore, Hong Kong, passed within yards of Communist Chinese boats and barges. No one lifted an eyebrow. It was business as usual for the colony and the small detachment of British Naval personnel when BERKELEY arrived. 7 You did not have to leave the ship to be fascinated by the c1ty aaaa e ' - Hong Kong was all around you and W even tied up to your propellor y guard.

Holiday rou- tine helped pick things up. 7 Q N A good holiday routine included a barbecue on the 01 level aft. The Welfare and Recreation Committee sponsored the cookouts.

Wardroom mess night was a revival of an old military tradition. Looks like Mr. Ruoker's collar is too tight or he does not like what is on the menu. Food means a lot to a sailor and BERKELEY saw to it that the men had plenty, s S 4 J if The Tonkin Gulf was a pretty lonely place, especially for Americans. The crew owes a lot to a trusty Air Force amphibian that flew over reg- ularly dropping copies of Stars and Stripes and once in awhile a Playboy. Once we even got to see real live wo- men when the ship pulled into Quinon for a briefing. Army Nurses toured the ship. The mess decks served as the ships entertainment center during darken ship. Movies or getting that free letter off in the mail were usually on the agenda, Holiday routine always had to give way to the working day rou- tine. One of the more interesting jobs was replenishment under- way. An unrep oould mean anything alongside from an unmarked but friendly sub in need of several bottles of freon to the giant USS SACRAMENTO delivering everything from beans and butter to missiles and fuel. f ngyv Chief Franz will never forget his ride to the USS HANCOCK. A bad knock on the Chief's head during a heavy roll had us all worried. The HANCOCK had the only doctor so off went the chief - on his back.

Her doctor might be vital once the downed pilot was recovered. Little did her crew know that within min- utes she would be the victim of North Vietnamese guns. BERKELEY was by no means alone on her mission. A short distance away the USS ARNOLD J , ISBELL was preparing herself for the assignment ahead. Under BERKELEY control, a swarm of aircraft began converging on the downed aircraft's last known po- sition. Helicopters, jets, props, aircraft of all types checked in for control under BERKELEY CIC's watchful eye. , .7 , Wx GENERAL QUARTERS---- THIS IS NOT A DRILL p As BERKELEY sped closer to the scene the ship put on its full battle dress.

They seemed almost harmless but now the small craft, un- changed for centuries raced twentieth century warships and planes to the downed pilot. BE RKELEY's 50 caliber machine gunners swung out on the unimposing targets. The junks chose not to challenge their big visitor, but the ISBELL, a short distance away had to spank off the wooden intruders after they opened fire. .1 iv? The aircraft had a hard time of it due to the heavy fog. The weather lifted enough for the Air Force amphib to put down for a pickup but the North Viet- namese chose, that time to open up, The amphib was caught in the crossfire. She sank with the loss of a man. BERKELEY and ISBELL steamed on. The possibility existed that the fog might mean a shipboard recovery would be necessary. s. Hon Me Island soon appeared on the radar scope. The fighter pilot and the remaining amphib crew were only a few thousand yards between the Communist island and mainland. Helos soon found it clear enough to move in. The Viets opened up again. One helo was hit but others continued and somehow got into the area of fire. The men appeared to have all been res- cued. No one was sure. The fire lifted. BERKELEY moved in for a last look. Hon Me Island loomed out of the fog. ff LAND ACTION STARBOARDU! couN'rEnBA'r'rERv.... COUNTERBATTERY!

The Coral Sea Battle Qlvlay 4-8, 19425, was the first serious check to the amazingly rapid series of Japanese successes, which had advanced Japanese power well south of the equator. The margin between victory and defeat was extremely small. Reliable authorities have stated that had the Japanese been successful, our position in New Guinea would have proved tmtenable and the whole of the North-East Australian coastline would have been open to invasion. The Coral Sea Battle is now rightl recognized as a landmark in the history OBE Australia. It marks the nearest approachof hostile forces in strength to the coastline of Australia and an end to a threatened invasion. Itvs for these reasons that the Australian-American Association arranges for the annual commemoration of Coral Sea Week on a Commonwealth-wide basis. It is an occasion upon which to call to mind the joint comradeship in arms achieved dur- ing the war, and the contribution made by America to the defense of Australia, Q-:S ff' -' ' J J ' ' V, A231 ' , mil'-'11 Paul H.

Once again the red carpet was rolled out. Q The New Zealand National Railways took a group of BERKELEY sailors to the hot sulphur springs and Maori village at Rotorua. The springs and mud pits put on quite a spectacle and the tour through the village gave the men a look at New Zealand's first Polynesian inhabitants.
