She is the third ship to be named for the Blue Ridge Mountains in the United States. The first BLUE RIDGE was a Great Lakes passenger steamer that was purchased for use as a Navy Transport during World War I and the second was an amphibious force flagship that saw considerable action during World War II. Unlike her World War II predecessor which was quickly converted from a merchantman to a flagship, the new 620-foot United States Ship BLUE RIDGE represents a unique effort and achievement in the amphibious Navy ' s command ship design. In this 19,200 ton ship are found the facilities to direct and manage every phase of an amphibious operation; indeed, the BLUE RIDGE represents the accumulated know- ledge of four decades of the Navy ' s experience in the difficult effective Amphibious Force Coordination. Initially conceived in 1963, assumed the distinction of carrying one of the world ' s most sophisticated electronics packages to sea. BLUE RIDGE utilizes her main battery of computers, communications gear, and other electronic facilities to fulfill her mission as a command ship for Amphibious Task Force and Landing Force Commanders during Amphibious Opera- tions. The task includes the landing of troops, air and gunfire support, task force protection and logistics support. A description of BLUE RIDGE would not be complete without mention of her twenty- knot-plus speed capability. However, not only in speed, but also in the category of ship habitability — BLUE RIDGE is a great improvement in ship design. problem of Control and BLUE RIDGE Recreation rooms, air conditioning, ship ' s stores, spacious galleys and messing areas all help make life at sea a great deal more pleasant for crew and embarked staffs. BLUE RIDGE has accommodations for 268 officers and 1200 enlisted men. BLUE RIDGE departed the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in mid-February of 1971 and set sail for her homeport of San Diego. She deployed to the Western Pacific for the first time in January of 1972 and served as flagship for Commander Amphibious Force, U.S. SEVENTH Fleet and Commanding General, NINTH Marine Amphibious Brigade. BLUE RIDGE participated in several opera- tions during a North Vietnamese spring offensive and spent considerable time off the coast of Vietnam, including stints of 63 and 37 consecutive days. She ended her first deployment in August of 1972. BLUE RIDGE ' S second WESTPAC cruise began in late February of 1973. She was not needed in Vietnamese waters this time, however, as a peace treaty had been signed in that worn-torn area and American forces were no longer used there. BLUE RIDGE ' s job remained the same in WESTPAC as she continued to serve as flagship for PHIBFOR- SEVENTHFLT. This time her mission dealt with training joint amphibious operations with the Navy of the Republic of the Philippines. She also served as a flagship during Operation Golden Dragon, the first large-scale exercise with Korean forces in many years. In addition, BLUE RIDGE made several interesting and relaxing port visits while deployed. Among the ports visited were Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan. She again operated out of White Beach, Okinawa while overseas. BLUE RIDGE returned to the United States in late October 1973. i CAPTAIN J. D.

Seventh Fleet, and Commander Task Force 76, is tasked v ith directing and coordinating the movement and actions of the amphibious ships deployed to the Western Pacific. During times of strife, the group com- mander is responsible for one of the most complex forms of modern warfare — the amphibious assault. In such an operation, his main concern is placing a hardhitting Marine landing force ashore and keeping it there. Now, however, with the Navy operating in a peacetime existence. Commander Amphib- ious Group One has found his major concern somewhat altered. At present the major task of the U. S. Navy pertains to the training and readiness of its various units. This holds true in the Amphibious Force also and was exemplified by the major exercises BLUE RIDGE and other gator ships participated in during 1973. Included were a major operation with South Korean forces and two amphibious exercises with Naval Forces from the Republic of the Philippines. CTF-76 MISSION REAR ADMIRAL W. D. TOOLE, JR.

Our mess decks served approximately 500,000 meals during our deployment. The cash value of those meals was nearly $365,000. Here are totals of some of the items consumed: Milk — 15,000 gallons li j Eggs — 18,000 dozen ;: - Bread — 15,000 pounds Meat — 20 tons Four UNREP VERTREPS were conducted during the cruise with some 39 tons of provisions being brought aboard during those evolutions.

Of that total, 143 days were spent in-port while 99 were at-sea. Incidently, of the 143 days spent in-port, 87 were spent in the haven for the homeless, White Beach, Okinawa!

Taking on some 158,000 gallons of fuel from the FALCON PRINCESS, BLUE RIDGE became the initital Seventh Fleet combatant to successfully complete the task. The major noticeable benefit in employing a commercial-type tanker is the cost saved factor in terms of man-hours expended. It takes only 24 men to keep a ship like the FALCON PRINCESS at sea, whereas a Navy oiler needs somewhere between 350 and 400 men to keep it functioning at sea. Refueling from commercial-type tankers also reduces the need to withdraw Navy oilers from normal fleet operating areas.

The embarkation, however, was not as extensive as that which occurred last year during the ship ' s first cruise. Then, of course, the war was raging in Vietnam and there was need for a landing force in the Gulf of Tonkin. This year, with peace in Vietnam, the Marines followed suit with the Navy in emphasizing training and readiness. Only a small cadre staff was on board at most times under the direction of Colonel K. G. Fiegener and later Colonel H. F. De Atley. The small contingent was augmented by the remainder of the 9th MAB staff for the various exercises BLUE RIDGE participated in. The group aided in the planning and execution of the various phases of the operations. 62 PAGASA II 64 7 66 5 ' SINGAPORE 67 c =- ., t • V -•, ♦7 .1 V: ' - ' .
