I-x uv For the seven months that BE RKE LE Y was deployed to the Western Pacil7c, she kept track of the many events which were making news in addition to the operations in which she participated in the Gulf of Tonkin. A President and Party Chairman met in Russia to confer on sweeping international policies . . . two others held the world in suspense as they maneuvered chess pieces to battle for a championship in lceland. As she sped across the PaciHc, many descriptions of .the intense U.S. combat operations came across the teletypes daily,' while, on the return transit, emmissaries from the American, North Vietnamese and South Vietnamese govern- ments raced around the world on the brink of a peace settle- ment to the conflict in which -the BE RK E LE Yhad made seven deployments. The theme of our 7972 Crew's Book dwells on the pride the Navy has taken in doing its job for so many years, and how it still exists today in our crew. Even after so much drastic change, pride exists in our Navy today just as much as decades ago. lt still takes that something extra to hustle to an unrep, to do the routine job better than usual, as the BE RK E LE Y's crew did for seven months this year. ln the next eighty pages, witness how a group of three hundred men of diverse back- grounds pull together to perform as a well-trained team. Note how the extra effort of pride can make 300 men become the ofHcers and crew of the USS BERKELEBC to whom this book is dedicated: the CRE W 'S BOOK for 7972.

IDIVISIU B Division is the division on the ship that is responsible for providing the steam 'for the BERKELEY's main and auxiliary machinery. The main steam system drives the ship's main propul- sion turbines and the ship's turbo-generators, providing power to the ship's screws and electrical power throughout the ship. The BT's are also responsible for maintaining steam to drive the auxiliary equipment and life support functions, such as fresh water, laundry, heating and scullery services. Under the supervision of Senior Chief TROMBERG and Chief STITH, the men in B Division demonstrated the high calibre of technical knowledge and skill to maintain the main plant ini its top condition of readiness. f 1' r - 2 ,Qual .-ff' iff' sf, 11 L-R: BT 3 K.

BT 1 B. Coker, FN S. Creel, Damage control, repair, and nearly every piece of equipment that, breaks belongs to R Division. Their hull technicians perform a wide variety of tasks which never seem to stop. Whether odd jobs that need only a nut and bolt to fix, or large welding work, R Division kept BERKELEY gear in good shape all cruise long. The Interior Communications Technicians or IC-men , have a broad collection of duties also. Their work day is occupied with the ship's gyro compasses, interior phone lines, ship's service telephones, the ship's entertainment system and more. Electricians Mates keep the life of electrical power flowing through the ship from her four steam-driven turbogenerators. All of these unique rates pull together when general quarters is sounded, though. R Division also forms the nucleus of our damage control team both underway and inport. .

Each rate is tasked with jobs which are important to the crew's safety and welfare, both at sea and inport. Quartermasters are charged with the responsibility of ensuring the ship travels from port to port safely. They continually fix the sh'ip's position at sea around the clock to ensure BERKELEY safely sails her intended course. The ship's heavy administrative and personnel burden is carried by the yeomen and personnelmen. Hospital corpsmen man the ship's Sickbay to tend to routine aches and pains and are even equipped, if necessary, to perform emergency surgery. ln addition, the ship's post office provides complete postal service- v for the crew and keeps those welcome letters from home coming.

Teletypes clattered around the clock in Radio Central, spewing out a constant flow of traffic dealing with everything from supply to tactical proce- dures. Both voice and teletype circuits kept the RM's busy all hours of the day, to keep pace with the hectic operations in which BERKELEY was involved. Lt. Robert Russell, USN Operations Officer ., DIVISION During this deployment the signal gang also had an opportunity to appreciate the Navy destroyers role in the Vietnam war On every strike mission the signal bridge was assigned the task of CD spotter and 55 caliber back up squad On several occasions actual spotting of hostile fire was not necessary due to the very loud noise the shell makes when it passes overhead or lands close aboard While not in harm s way the Signalmen were active in numerous boat and highline transfers, communicating with the ship by semaphore flashing light and radio When time and operations permitted they even caught a few Z s in their signal shack L R RMC R Chambers, RM 3 R Mateo RMSN M Staffeldt RM 2 M Chaplin, RM 3 B jones, RM 3 T Rankin RM 2 P Quick RM l V jones CWO 3 David Thomas, Communications Officer OC Division Officer ,rdlm it 4 ul- Ek., 4 X assi' 'QA' RW 1 5, , .

SNS Ulf DIVISION OE Division's electronics technicians maintained both communications equipment and radar gear aboard BERKELEY. On a sophisticated ship like a DDG, the demand for skilled technicians never stops, since peaking and tweaking sensitive electronic equipment continues around the clock. As every ET learned, circuits and parts don't observe a time schedule when they decide to go down. But their constant attention ensured the maxi- mum reliability possible .from both radio and radar gear. Electronic war- fare also falls under OE. Concerned with electronic surveil- lance and intelligence, Chief Barrick and his EW team manned a three section watch bill all cruise in their EW module in CIC.

The only port which will not be eternally aware of Supply's presence was DaNang, where none of Supplyis illustrious personnel ventured ashore. But there was Subic, where SuppIy's escapades resulted in a declaration of martial law. Primarily Supply-as evidenced by ANDREWS, CAVER, CREAMER, HOBBS, IVIORSE, and RATTERIVIAN-was concerned seriously with enjoying Oriental culture and scenery Inatural and femininej. The culture of the Philippines seemed particularly fascinating to ANTONIO, DAY- RIT, GABRIEL, LUCIO, NANALIS, and ORTEGA. While others forayed out on tours, BUGGE and TANGO FOXTROT FOLEY directed their scrutiny to such attractions as the place where FEARLESS MOOSE SANDUIVI once displayed his piso-nality. CORL, HAAS, SCRIIVIALI, and TOLER set out to show how many girls a sailor has in every port, though others-GROETKEN, PARKS, ESLAO-fell to Oriental charms. BARRERA, GRANT, HEIL, and XERRI were their usual unpredictable selves. The sanctity of reveille was preserved by ENS RAIVISEY, SKC IOHNSON, and EDIVIOND RONALD IVIONT- CLAIVI fsicl. Amidst all this AUSTERO, BRUIVIMEL, GONONG, IENKINS, IVIERONEK, and VANN found time actually to work, even during UN REPS strategi- cally scheduled by LT ENGEL at midnight and in the rain to deceive the enemy. While BEALS and CHINA LAKE NAVAL contemplated future challenging assignments, DUNKEL, IVIENDOZA, and ROLLINS decided they just couIdn't take a chance on being thrown in with such a gang again. f Q L R Ensign David Ramsey Disbursing Officer Supply Division Officer, DK I T.

Their jobs ranged from chipping and painting the hull and main deck, running the ship's boats and manning underway and vertical replenishment stations, to standing a three section watch bill on the bridge and manning their stations in the ammunition magazines during general quarters. Seainen from First Division also assisted the damage control parties when BERKELEY made her nightly strikes on Linebacker. Swabbing and sweeping passageways and ladders took up any remaining time for the division, as they kept the ship shining both inside and out. lVlany times during unreps the captain received compliments from other skippers about the ship's outstanding appearance, due for the most part to the constant efforts of First. 53 he fum , 'Q 1 f 4' , , W , X, X I, f W f, v 'W X W, f , Wm, Wm f f!Wf M, Q-me ,W , if S bf A I . gi 5 P W i , L - . ..,f.,...,.,.-,-: N .

But there was more in store as they crossed the brow onto the quarterdeck to hear the sobering news that the ship was to deploy to the Western Pacific either later that day or in 72 hours from then. While rumors about the reaction to the buildup in the DMZ had flourished during the past week or two, no musing could have matched the reality that our ship would be leaving, not in a week or maybe two . . . but now. DDG-15 got underway with USS Somers from Long Beach Harbor on the morning of April lOth. Few of the crew or their families had any more than a day together before the separation, and the impact of the quick deployment showed on nearly every face, before the midday smog enshrouded our homeport in the distance. E AGWEB As the ship steamed into the Gulf of Tonkin on May lst, she was immediately assigned to Freedom Train operations off the coast of North Vietnam. Aimed at cutting off the supply lines North Vietnamese forces had established to fuel their drive into the DMZ a month before, BERKELEY moved into the corribat zone to serve as a member of the two surface strike units, for three straight months. Dubbed Linebacker a short while later, these raids were the most hazardous work BERKELEY had seen in years. During the deploy- ment she had over 1,580 rounds of hostile fire shot at her as she raced along the coastline of North Vietnam shelling fuel and ammuni- tion dumps, supply routes and shipping facilities. Working in a trio of ships, BERKELEY often steamed with the east coast cruiser USS NEWPORT NEWS and traditional PRAM-type destroyers such as USS JAMES E. KYES and USS EVERETT F. LARSON to name a few. The first few weeks of Linebacker were the most demanding as she received her hardest challenge following only one week in the Gulf. With five other destroyers, she raced into Haiphong Harbor to provide a protective wall of five-inch shells while carrier-based air- craft peppered the waters with mines. Her large battle ensign flying at the truck, BERKELEY delivered over 280 rounds on designated targets in a half hour before clearing the harbor at 32 knots. Assignment to the Notification Line followed, just 25 miles away from Haiphong. The three line ships were tasked with the responsibility of informing foreign merchants that the coastal waters in the vicinity were mined. The third month of the cruise was spent, a few miles seaward of Hon La Island, where merchants of the Communist bloc anchored outside of. U.S. minefields, which had made the usual anchorage hazardous for large ships. The three destroyers were there to suppress the traffic of small boats from the ship ashore, bringing supplies to North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces. BERKELEY spent one more short period on Linebacker, her last commitment before beginning her transit home. A three-week tour, the last Linebacker strikes were noticeably quieter than the first days of the cruise, when coastal defense guns had taken the surface raiders under fire on every strike. On the last night of strikes, she fired her l0,002th final round before departing the Gulf of Tonkin for Hong Kong, and home. 1 f ,zawf Qwffwmfw,-.M ,,,, .V ,ff f g .l 1 3 as Af -we 5' ' 1 i 'Ji ft '1 - 1 5 li S? 4 .

Commitments for her two five-inch guns took the ship from the Demilitarized Zone tohalfway down the coast. At times she was the only ship in the vicinity, such as the operations near Chu Lai. At other times, she became a part of a group which numbered as many as seventeen to eighteen other destroyers packed into a small stretch of coastline along the DMZ. Missions ran from the tightly organized prepara- tions for an amphibious assault by SVN Marines, to missions spotted by U.S. aircraft, to unspotted area fire. ' South Vietnamese patrol craft continually prowled the nearby waters to control infiltration fromthe North, keeping a continual vigil for weapons smuggling to hostile forces in the South. 64 ' 'nl' Q il .N s- -f GMKNIL NE ..

More often than not, it was followed by Station the rearming detail, to take on hundreds of five-inch shells to supply our mounts. Unreps provided the forward, amidships and after stations with the opportunity to show their skill, racing to complete their rig the fastest, finish refueling or rearming the quickest, and break their rig first. Many times a case of beer or two hung in the balance, as Boatswain's Mates hurried to see who would provide for the next party ashore. During operations like Linebacker, unreps seemed to come at the worst possible time . . .just after the morning watch or just before the fifteen minute nap you were planning for. And .sometimes they came as often as every day. Vertical replenishments frequently dropped ammunition and stores on the fantail as we Dumped fuel forward and aft. Then, it was back to another strike. .Helo details, on the other hand, were no problem at all. Even the most tired among us perked up when he heard the word passed for the helo detail, since that meant MAIL! Helicopters from carriers, shore bases and replenishment ships buzzed through the ship formations every three to four days, bringing letters from home and 5 V ffm E . ff 1 fl r - , . , Y x, f ff ff Qfff . -.1..1.,11.-.

Nearly our home away from home, Subic Bay's Tigers handled many work orders to keep weapons systems up, and boilers steaming. Long work days were followed more often than not with a night on the town in downtown Olongapo City, enjoying the singular lifestyle for which that region has an unequalled reputation. And so it went from April through August: Subic, Linebacker, Subic, Linebacker, Subic, Linebacker . . . 7l an Y 1 X New Q Y X Mm f '3ni l' 4 r Q I 4 's Q, J' 3 X, -sq. .

In taking tours around the island, and Kowloon and the New Territories, a good many of the crew tasted the flavor of oriental culture with a European accent. 74 v 'l v4., mmf 4 - W f . fy ' in fl! iff MV 1, fbi X 7 , , 4 -f -Myz ff , .hm I 1 W.. xkQ,k ' T' 1 5 42 'rg 'V ffm +-., 2 N , xx-- Tw VX b br MQYAM W:w,,,, 4 ' WW f uv?

Completing a fifteen month tour as commanding officer, Commander Dickman spoke slowly as he commented on the past deployment and what it meant to him: No ship has established a more enviable reputation than yours. Your performance has been truly remarkable . . . You have always risen to the occasion and met the challenge . . . Commander Dickman departed the BE RKELEY in Guam. . .W MW V Mh'm 'Wfe'MW , , Z,,.g-fy , , , , , Wfem , W'm ,.1 frm 83 I' AEK lINIllOW71ll 91113113 ll?F1ll21lMll 1lE51lNllClllS STAFF EDITOR . . , Ensign Christopher Nemeth ADIVIINISTRA TI VE ASSISTANT .
