Although it (ought but a (ew weeks and was sunk to avoid capture, the gondola was signi- ficant for one reason - this was the first warship to hear the name of the capital city of Massachusetts, BOSTON. Later that same year, a frigate named USS BOSTON was commissioned with the same purpose and sailed under the small, but efficient, Revolutionary Navy. A third USS BOSTON was launched in 1799 and was to fight the pirates of the Barbary Coast and the British during the War of 1812. A fourth USS BOSTON joined the Fleet in 1825, but her grounding in the Caribbean enroute to Mexico in 1846 pre- vented her from seeing action for the United States. An armored cruiser hearing the name BOSTON was commissioned in 1889, fought with Admiral Dewey in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, and served the Fleet as a training ship until 1946. Thus, it was only fitting that in 1943, as the United States lay embroiled in yet another struggle, another mighty warship with the name BOSTON would enter service of her country. At the Fore River Yards in Quincy, Massachusetts, the heavy cruiser USS BOSTON (CA-69) was born to fight the Japanese in the Pacific. She fought in ten campaigns, anchored in Tokyo Bay in 1945 when the Japanese sur- rendered, and she steamed home an honored veteran of the world ' s most terrible war. Old Armored Cruiser BOSTON. igum dki i Decommissioned to the mothball fleet in 1946, BOSTON came to life again in 1952 when she was towed to the New York Shipbuilding Company ' s yards in Camden. New Jersey, for conversion to a guided missile cruiser. This she became in 1955 - the world ' s first such ship - and joined the Fleet as an air defense platform unequaled in any Navy. Until 1967, USS BOSTON (CAG-1) sailed under the Second and Sixth Fleets, taking part in operations in all parts of the Atlantic and Mediterranean as a deterrent to aggression and as a commanding force on the seas. But when her country became involved again in a far-off war, BOSTON was ready to answer the call. On 4 March 1967, USS BOSTON steamed from her home port of Boston, Massachusetts, for the Western Pacific and Vietnam. From mid-April until September, BOSTON was an active unit of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, participating in operations designed to prevent the enemy from moving troops and supplies into South Vietnam. She steamed almost 60,000 miles during her deployment, fired more than 14,000 rounds of ammunition, and took part in some 750 missions. She visited ports in China, Japan and the Philippines, along with Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. And she carried 1,200 men into Harm ' s Way. This book is the story of that cruise and the men who fought BOSTON so majestically. It is not intended as a complete record, for to be so inclusive would require 1,200 men to put the thoughts of eight months into words. This cannot be done. But what can be done is show BOSTON in some of her finer moments, and in some lesser ones, too, with the hope that these pages will revive some memorable events for all hands. USS BOSTON (CAG-1), World ' s first guided missile cruiser. _ ptain m Archer R. pa on Commanding 29 March 1966 3 July 196 7 Captain Archer R. Gordon was born in New York City on January 15, 1921. He attended St. John ' s University in Brooklyn and was commissioned in the Navy in June 1941, following completion o( the Navy ' s V-12 program at Northwestern University. His (irst duty was in USS CHEMUNG (AO-30) and soon after he attended Navy Submarine School, graduating in 1943. His first submarine was USS SEADRAGON (SS-194) of which he became Executive Officer in 1945. He served as Executive Officer of USS SEA ROBIN ISS-407), assuming command of that submarine in 1950, and then became Force Ordnance Officer in Submarine Force Pacific. Captain Gordon assumed command of Submarine Divi- sion 91 when it became the Navy ' s first guided missile submarine unit in 1955, and later commanded the Pacific Fleet Submarine Training Facility at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In 1961. Captain Gordon took command of the Atlantic Fleet Oceanographic System, and his first deep-draft command was USS HASSAYAMPA (AO-145) in 1964. He took command of USS BOSTON in Boston. Massachusetts, on March 29, 1966. Captain Gordon is married to the former Virginia Utz of Port Washington, New York. Leon I. Smith, Jr. C mmanding Officer Captain Leon I. Smith, Jr., Commanding Officer of USS BOSTON (CAG-1), was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on August 29, 1922. Upon graduation from tlie U.S. Naval Academy in June 1943. he reported to USS NEVADA(BB-36), participating in the Normandy landings, invasion of southern France, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and operations of the Third Fleet in the East China Sea. Captain Smith served in USS WINSLOW (EAG-127) (ex-DD-359) as Project, Gunnery and Executive Officer from 1947 to 1950. He attended the Naval Post Graduate School at Annapolis for a year, followed by duty on the Joint Planning Staff of Commander in Chief, U.S. Naval Forces Eastern Atlantic and Meifilerranean in Naples, Italy and London. England from 1951 to 1954. In 1955. Captain Smith became Executive Officer of USS BEARSS (DD-654). Duty as Commanding Officer of USS COATES (DE-685} followed from December 1956 to July 1958. His next assignment was as a student at the Armed Forces Staff College, and in 1959, he became head of the Fleet Unit, Personnel Plans Division and later Special As. ' iistant for JCS Personnel Matters in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. In October 1961, he assumed command of USS MANLEY (DD-940), the flagship of COMDESRON FOUR. After attending the Fleet Guided Missile School at Dam Neck, Virginia, Captain Smith took command of USS DAHLGREN (DLG-12), flagship of COMDESDIV 182. Upon being re- lieved in June 1964. he was assigned to the Bureau of Naval Personnel as Director Policy Division and later he became Deputy Assistant Chief for Plans and Pro- grams. In August 1966, he entered the National War College at Washington. D.C., graduating in June 1967. Captain Smith assumed command of BOSTON in Sasebo, Japan, on July 3, 1967. He is married to the former Sara Mathews of Norfolk, Virginia, and they have two children: Sara and Leon IV. ) m . ii ' ' uommanaer William M. Mc Donald Executive Officer Out Executive Officer.

From the first streai s of light across Boston Harbor, it was evi- dent to one and all that this would be a different day for 3,000 people. For on this 4 March 1967, USS BOSTON would be getting underway for the Pacific for the first time since World War II. De- pendents streamed in South Boston Annex, they wandered the decks and they ate breakfast with their loved ones for the last time in eight months. And as BOSTON smoked her famous salute to her home port, they stood on the pier and waved a fond farewell. r lil HHIHHHIIHI s??y - ' -. i St Our [irst days at sea were tedious. Accustomed to routine of six-section watch bills in our home port, we had to scramble to meet the pace of a warship enroute to war. A stop at Yorktown, Virginia, for ammunition punctuated the cruise by only a day, and soon we were steaming off the island of Culebre in the Caribbean, firing our guns in the manner of a starting pitcher warming up for the World Series. IV N M Our transit of the Panama Canal was the first westward since World War 11. and the first either way since a midshipman cruise in 1957. Most of us had never seen this engineering marvel of the 20th century, and we lined the decks to catch a glimpse of locks. ' ' mules and Panamanians. A seven-hour stop in Rodman, on the Pacific side, was but a brief pause in our travels.

Hawaii s Go Id en Sands A Stop in Our 50th State BOSTON ' S arrival in Pearl Harbor was the completion of the first leg. After more than 20 days at sea with only two short stops, three days of liberty looked mighty good to a restless crew. But three days is a short time. Our first visit to Pearl since 1945 was soon over, and after briefings with Pacific Fleet staff members, BOSTON was once again underway westward. CAGs 1 2 And COMCRUDESPAC. And We Replaced Worn Barrels A WELCOME TO m mt 4 Xi fi C mMm ] imsmmmmmmm WESTPAC - the Western Pacific - is the domain of the Seventh Fleet. The waters of Vietnam, the Formosa Straits, Korea and all adjacent areas are dominated by Seventh Fleet units, policing those seas for America. BOSTON was attached to the Seventh Fleet for her part in the combat, as many other East Coast units (but never before a cruiser) had been when they deployed to the Pacific. Operational control of the Fleet, under COMSEVENTHFLEET, is designated to several type commanders, and BOSTON was a part of the Cruiser Destroyer Group of the Seventh Fleet. Seventh Fleet operates all types of missions in Vietnam, as well as other parts of the Pacific. Minesweepers, river patrol boats, swift boats, aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers, amphibious types and hospital ships are all part of the Fleet. And ships such as BOSTON are sent from the Atlantic to bolster these forces. Operation More than hall o( our time in WESTPAC was spent at sea, all hut a few weeks in Operation Sea Dragon off the coast of North Vietnam. Conducting over 700 missions, BOSTON pounded the enemy coastal supply system, striking at both supply centers and highways, and enemy coastal logistics craft. More than 400 water- borne logistics craft - or as we came to call them, Wiblics - were destroyed or damaged by shells from BOSTON ' S guns. Sea Dragon forces operate in the most dangerous waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Consistantly, we came within the range of North Vietnamese coastal batteries. But BOSTON, unlike the three other heavy cruisers who also operate in Sea Dragon, escaped without taking a direct hit. Shrapnel littered our decks and hundreds of rounds kicked fountains of water up on all sides, but each time BOSTON steamed free to fight again. fMpi a ' ' ' ' V. . . .i --:-— ' ■ ' js-trf- esd- Sea Dragon ' . All missions in Sea Dragon were conducted at General Quarters, when all hands are at their battle stations. The hours were unbelievably long - many times we steamed from a mission out safer waters to rearm our diminishing ammunition supply. But with all the strain and anguish of carrying out our mission, we came to realize we were doing a job for our country, and we endured with pride.  v Many missions were fired at night. .1 Lk -I I I A six gun salvo - 1,600 pounds of explosive.

Our Compatriots vj ji fe From the HMAS ■nia wC W To Mighty Long Beach r N e Steamed Together p i ' ' ' ' With Replenishment Ships... and USS St. Paul for a Sea Dragon Turnover Unreps y % Replenishments at sea are a routine of the Navy. Operationally impractical to enter port each time supplies are needed, Navy ships rendezvous with stores ships, oilers, and ammunition ships for their necessities. While deployed, BOSTON conducted 175 replenish- ments at sea, 82 of them by helicopter. We refueled at sea 29 times, rearmed 35 times and took on stores and fresh provisions 15 times. An additional 81 highline ind light freight transfers of personnel, stores and mail were con- lucted with other ships. For each of BOSTON ' S 159 days at sea, ' .here were almost two deck evolutions. Rearming and replenishing stores are virtually ' ' all hands evo- lutions. Everyone aboard is required for some job, whether as a ohone talker or a ' ' carton carrier. Refueling required fewer person- nel, but the job was just as meaningful. Shooting our guns may have been our primary mission, but the replenishments kept us ' ' on the line.

The pressure of the first three weeks of combat was lifted, and we swarmed ashore in the ' ' walla-wallas to spend our money in a ' ' free port. Hong Kong has much to offer the U.S. serviceman. Prices on all goods are far beneath U.S. levels, and custom-made clothing is high on the priority list. The girls of Hong Kong are also quite attractive and entertainment spots blanket the British Crown Colony. Sight-seeing in one of the world ' s prettiest cities took up much of our time. boston ' s visit to Hong Kong was marred by the onset of Communist-inspired rioting in the Kowloon section of the city. Our liberty was cut short several days, and much of the colony was declared off-limits. But we still managed to enjoy ourselves in this bastion of the western world, located precariously on the southern coast of Red China, as evidenced in the surrounding photographs.

A such, much of the shipbuilding industry c which Japan is becoming famous is located i this city of 90,000, and BOSTON ' S visit in Jun and July gave us all a look at some of thi world ' s new ' ' super-ships. Sasebo was our first port in Japan, and th hospitality of the Japanese was unequaled Classed by many servicemen as the best libert port in the Pacific, Sasebo offered us an oppot tunity to sight-see, shop, and enjoy ourselve: with a ship ' s party, among the other entertainmei attractions. A highlight for many was a trip to Nagasaki where the memory of a terrible war still lingers We also visited a national forest, and roamed thi mountains which surround the area.

Subic Bay Our third visit to Subic Bay was a two-week stay in late July, during which time we regunned our weary eight-inch guns. With so much time on our hands, we not only took advantage of the inexpensive liberty in Olongapo City, which borders the Naval Base, but several crewmembers journeyed to Manila, the Philippine capital, and Bagio, a mountain resort. BOSTON found that the Philippines contain some of the most beautiful areas in the world. Even those who stayed in Subic Bay and spent their days on a nearby beach agreed that the skin-diving and surf were a welcome change from the rigors of war. The Navy Exchange at Subic was the most popular of any we visited, and tape recorders, stereos, cameras, china and native goods were only a few of the items we purchased. Subic Bay became a familiar stop for us, and whether we traveled or stayed in Olongapo, we appreciated the break it provided us from the tension of zombat.

Kaohsiung Kaohsiung is a major seaport on the southwest coast of Taiwan, the island home of Nationalist China. While short of U.S. Naval facilities, Kaohsiung nonetheless offers great liberty because we had the chance to see the Chinese people in a less Western-oriented environment than we were used to. We shopped in the same shops the Chinese did, we ate at their own restaurants and we walked the streets for a glimpse of Old Chinese life. Entertainment wasn ' t lacking in Kaohsiung, for any city of lOO.OOOhas its night spots. But our best times we spent in observing a quaint community in a most picturesque setting. Kaohsiung and its people offered BOSTON five days of rest and relaxation like few other ports. And a method of transportation if you don ' t have $40 N.T. In Kaobsiung, few people walk. even children. except sailors - in this case, Chinese sailors. J exce t perhaps the girls. And they look the same in every port. There ' s a wealth of things to do.

Our last WESTPAC port - Yokosuka - was strictly a buying stop. The Navy Exchange stayed open extra hours for BOSTON and we responded by filling our shipboard spaces with all the bargains we had missed. Much of our liberty time was spent shopping on the base. Yokosuka ' s location on Tokyo Bay 70 miles south of the Japanese ca pital offered many a chance to see the world ' s largest city. We marveled at the modern railways and buildings, and once again we found Japanese hospitality hard to beat. And when we steamed east toward home we were happy that our last impression of the Orient was the fine city of Yokosuka.

We not only stood our watches and went to General Quarters, but we tried to carry on routine work and we held special evolutions peculiar to a WESTPAC cruise. We not only lost our Captain overboard, but we managed to change the mighty CANBERRA into an identical twin. We slept at odd hours and we based our entire routine on the unexpected. This is a picture of BOSTON as she sails.

We Thought About What We Missed Cruiser Destroyer Group Seventh Fleet CRUISER DESTROYER FLOTILLA NINE - From 7 April until 1 June, BOSTON served as flagship (or Commander Cruiser Destroyer Flotilla NINE. Rear Admiral Mark W. Wood. RADM Wood, former Commanding Officer of our sister-ship CANBERRA, also served as Commander of the Seventh Fleet ' s Cruiser-Destroyer Group, and as such, BOSTON played a major role in the actions of all the cruisers and destroyers operating in Vietnam. With his staff, RADM Wood directed the missions of Operation Sea Dragon, utilizing the facilities BOSTON had to offer. A division of 30 enlisted men aided his operation, and for a month the flag band kept us enter- tained at UNREPS and entering and leaving port. In addition, two of our officers were temporarily assigned to CRUDESFLOT NINE to act as liaison with the ship in planning missions and obtaining reports. When RADM Wood and staff departed BOSTON to ride SAINT PAUL on 1 June in Danang Harbor, we tood over the functions of on-scene commander for Sea Dragon operations using much of the data and material left for us by the flag staff. With our new duties as a reminder, we thought about RADM Wood and his staff and the fine association we had with them. VADM Hyland visits with RADM Wood in Subic Bay.

Operations Department is the nerve system of the ship. Responsible for gathering all the int elligence and operational information and formulating a plan of ship ' s operations, the Ops Department handles the informational aspects of BOSTON ' S movements. One part of Operations ' job is gathering tactical information through electronic means, both immediate and long-range. This involves the Combat Information Center (CIC) and the radarmen of 01 Division who man it. Radar, radio nets, plotters, radio receivers and scanners and direction- finding equipment are all utilized. The men of OE Division are responsible for the repair and maintenance of all this equipment, as well as radios and other electronic equipment not under Operations ' cognizance. OL Division, which comprises the lookouts, is responsible for the visual information which augments the ever- changing tactical picture the ship needs to plan its movements. Advance planning of missions through use of Operations Orders and existing regulations is a part of the job of Operations. Charting of targets and hostile enemy positions is done by Operations Staff.

Weapons Department mg a The Weapons Department, the largest department on the ship both in number of personnel and in accountable spaces, has one of the largest jobs on a heavy cruiser. As the primary mission of the ship is command of the seas, Weapons is charged with operating and maintaining all the hardware which makes BOSTON a heavy cruiser. From .50 caliber machine guns to eight-inch cannon, Weapons maintains all gunnery. The TERRIER missile system is the responsibility of Weapons, and all the fire control equipment which aims the guns and missiles is handled by the fire control - or FOX - division of the de- partment. All topside spaces and much of the belowdecks areas are under Weapons ' control, and boat- swain ' s mates and deck seamen from First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Divisions maintain these spaces. Gunners mates from all these divisions maintain the various gun and missile equipments. The Marine Detachment is administratively part of the department and take care of the Commanding Officer ' s and Executive Officer ' s spaces. The ship ' s boats are also the responsibility of Weapons. The department supplies the boat crews, while Engineering Department provides engine maintenance. Line-handling, anchoring, placing the brows and all topside evolutions are part of the realm of Weapons, perhaps the most all-encompassing department on board. First Division is responsible for Turret One and all deck equipment forward of the quarterdeck. Second Division operates Turret Two and maintains the quarterdeck area. Fourth Division operates and maintains the three-inch guns. It is also responsible for the No. 2 utility boat and the five-inch mounts. Fifth Division ' s responsibilities include the same deck spaces and stations on the starboard side, the No. 1 utility boat and the five-inch mounts.

More than 200 men in five divisions are needed [or these tasks, and spaces for which they are responsible are located throughout the ship. Engineering is responsible for the physical workings of the ship, whether it ' s a scuttlebutt in the cabin lobby or an air conditioner in Seventh Division compartment. While the various divisions of the ship provide the routine maintenance of most equipment, the engineers are the ones who make needed repairs and ensure all equipment is functioning properly. The ' ' Snipes keep us on the go. The equipment for which A Division is responsible includes the ship ' s air conditioning, venti- lation and heating systems. In addition, the division maintains all boat engines. The ship ' s four boilers are tended by B Division. The steam generated by the boilers feeds the main propulsion turbines, the electric turbo-generators, and other steam-consuming devices such as those located in the galleys and the laundry. The electrical systems and related equipment are the responsibilities of E Division. This includes the many internal communication systems and the ship ' s projectors. M Division operates and maintains the ship ' s propulsion engines. The throttlemen at the control boards control the steam flow to the turbines according to orders from the bridge. The ship ' s water-tight i ntegrity is the primary concern of R Division, which is composed of metalsmiths, carpenters, pipefitters, locksmiths, and damage controlmen. These men maintain water-tight fittings, damage control equipment, piping systems, and perform repair tasks that are beyond the capabilities of other divisions. The complaint department - the Engineering Logroom - handles the paperwork for the department. It is here that a watch is maintained over the entire Engineering workload, and assignments are made to the various shops and divisions. LCDR D. D. Eddy ENGINEER OFFICER LT F. M.
