BRISCOE: A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE A native of Centerville, Mississippi, Admiral Briscoe was graduated from the Naval Academy in June 1918. During World War I he served in the battleship ALABAMA of the Atlantic Fleet, and In the destroyer ROE, operating from Brest, France. At the end of hostilities, he made the first postwar Midshipmen cruise in the USS KEARSARGE and in 1919 returned to destroyer duty as Engineer Officer of the USS HUMPHREYS, stationed in Near East waters at Constantinople. During the Turko-Greek fighting in 1920-1921, he commanded a Naval landing force at Derindge, Turkey. After further destroyer duty In the USS FLUSSER and USS HENDERSON, and recruiting- duty at Little Rock, Arkansas, he served as Senior Assistant Engineer of the battleship WEST VIRGINIA (1926-1929), then returned to the Naval Academy as an instructor in Mechanical Engineering. In 1931-1933 he was on China Station, assigned first as Executive Officer of the USS EDSALL, on Yangtze Patrol during the Japanese occupation of Woosung and Manchuria, and later as Communication Officer of the USS HOUSTON, flagship of the Commander in Chief, Asiatic Fleet. He again returned to the Naval Academy in June 1934, and for three years served as Head of the Department of Chemistry. Sea duty as Navigator of the battleship MISSISSIPPI preceded a tour during the prewar period as Assistant Director of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Navy Department Liaison Officer with the National Defense Research Committee. He has been identified as one of the pioneers of modern electronics development in the Navy. In May 1942 he assumed command of the USS PROMETHEUS, a recommissioned World War I repair ship. Under his command she joined the THIRD Fleet at Noumea, Caledonia, where he was detached to command Destroyer Squadron 5 and operated as escort commander for Task Forces 67, 68 and 10.

ADMIRAL ROBERT PEARCE BRISCOE Strike Destroyer USS BRISCOE (DD-977) was commissioned on 3 June 1978 at the Ingalls Shipbuilding Facilities in Pasca- goula, Mississippi. The fifteenth destroyer in a series of thirty- one SPRUANCE CLASS destroyers, BRISCOE bears the name of Admiral Robert P. BRISCOE, U.S. Navy. Although orglnally developed as an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) destroyer, BRISCOE was transformed into a Strike De- stroyer with the installation of a 64-cell Vertical Launch missile System (VLS). As a Strike Destroyer, BRISCOE possesses the most sophisticate i and lethal weapons in the US arsenal includ- ing Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles. Since commissioning, BRISCOE has deployed to the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic, and most recently, to the Red Sea. The ship has served as a member of the Standing Naval Forces Atlantic, sailed around South America during Uni- tas XXX, participated in the liberation of Grenada, served in the Multi-National Peacekeeping Forces off the coast of Lebanon, and also served as a member of the United Nations multination- al Maritime interception Force (MIF).

ROTA, SPAIN JULY 23-25 On a hot and humid July morn- ing, Briscoe arrived at Naval Base Rota, located on the southwestern coast of Spain, for a brief port visit. This visit afforded Briscoe ' s crew a chance to learn about Spanish cul- ture and, more importantly, al- lowed the crew to make that first phone call home after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival, Briscoe sailors ven- tured off base to enjoy the hospital- ity of the tranquil little fishing vil- lage of Rota. Rota ' s charming neighborhoods were characterized by sun-baked, pastel colored houses with red tiled roofs, narrow and winding cobblestone roads, and wrought iron fixtures which en- closed balconies and portals of local homes. In the center of town, Briscoe ' s crew flocked to numerous open air restaurants to partake of Spain ' s world famous cuisine: hamburgue- sas, pizza, and sangria. Numerous sailors who wanted a taste of home were not disappointed by Rota ' s version of The Hard Rock Cafe. Some crew members relaxed on Rota ' s white sandy beaches, crowded with European vacation- ers. Although the port visit was brief, Rota ' s charm and tranquil atmo- sphere relaxed the crew and provid- ed a temporary respite from the strenuous daily underway routine. PALMA DE MALLORCA JULY 27-31 PALMA DE MALLORCA JULY 27-31 Mallorca, a sunny Mediterranean paradise situated 100 miles Southeast of the Spanish mainland, is world-renown for its beautiful man-made pearls. These pearls, which are fabricated out of the same materials an oys- ter uses to generate its jewels through natu- ral processes, have earned Mallorca the nick- name, Pearl of the Mediterranean. Palma, the capital of Mallorca, is located at the innermost point of a wide bay along Ma- llorca ' s southern coast. Although Palma is a modern city, it has preserved its historical structures, many of which were built during the reign of King James II. Over the years as the city ' s population grew, modern buildings were built, in terrace fashion, to conserve space in the booming metropolis. One of the more impressive structures lo- cated on the outskirts of Palma was Bellver castle, the 16th century residence of King James II, which provided a spectacular view of the city. To the east of the castle, stood La Seo, a majestic, gothic cathedral located next to the Royal Palace, La Almudaina. The cathedral was built in 1230 and displays one of the largest rose windows (11m) in Europe. Inside the cathedral, located above the altar, hangs what is said to be the original crown of thorns. During Briscoe ' s port visit, two groups of sailors traveled back in history to dine at a medieval feast with a king and queen who were hosting a Jousting Tournament at El Corte Mai. As the cremen were served large turkey drumsticks and goblets of wine, they were entertained by actors who reenacted a jousting match. With battle lances leveled, two knights mounted on horseback charged each other, in a duel to the death. Once dis- mounted, the knights began fighting with swords to determine the victor. The action packed evening concluded with a Broadway type show, staged at Corte Mai ' s theater. While on liberty, the crew discovered two fun-filled gathering places that reminded them of home. The first and most popular was the Daiquiri Palace, a local club which was located near the scenic beaches of Ma- galluf. The second, the Carousel, was popu- lar among Briscoe ' s Chief Petty Officers who cheered for the United States ' Team as they watched the Barcelona Summer Olympic games on tv. Some of the local Spanish cuisine ranged from tapas (little sandwiches) to comida del mar (seafood). Local stores offered a wide selection of Spanish souvenirs ranging from traditional flamenco dolls and handmade lin- ens to modern leather goods and swords. As Briscoe departed Palma, the crew ' s spir- its were high as each crew member remi- nisced about the wonderful times they had enjoyed on the island paradise of Mallorca. r 11 RED SEA BOARDING OPERATIONS i! i Baww? AUGUST 07- DECEMBER 11. 1992 A ' •RUNNING THE DITCH I 17 HURGHADA, EGYPT SEPTEMBER 03-08 During Briscoe ' s Red Sea adven- tures, the ship made four port visits to Hurghada, Egypt, a small town on the Red Sea. During each port visit to Hurghada, Don Suppo and his local friend Abdul would arrange for a ship ' s party to be held at a local resort called The Sands. There were no bars in Hurghada, as Americans know them, but a favorite hangout for Bris- coites was the Pirate ' s Restaurant. My friend, My friend, the custom- ary greeting between an Egyptian salesman and a tourist was heard ev- erywhere in Downtown , Hurghada ' s shopping district. Egyptian vendors sold a variety of inexpensive leather goods, papyrus, brass plates, car- toushes, jewelry boxes, and perfume oils. Miniature gold figurines of Egyp- tian Pharaohs and Queens could also be bought. Briscoe sailors perfected the art of bartering and returned to the ship with many exotic purchases. Although english was spoken by most Egyptians, only Egyptian males would talk to foreigners. A recent boom In Hurghada ' s tourist trade sparked massive development of beach resorts and restaurants. One of the more popular resorts among Bris- coe sailors was the Arabia, a luxurious hotel that catered to the rich and fam- ous. Another interesting site in Hurgh- ada was an old fashioned ship building school where craftsmen learned how to build wooden boats by hand. While Hurghada may not have been Briscoe ' s most glamorous port visit, it provided the crew an opportunity to take a break from the rigorous routine of MIF OPS and to keep in touch with loved ones back home. ■III! ■■I _y i OB B fljiiii =jM:|r- SEPTEMBER 18-21 OCTOBER 07-10 NOVEMBER 14-18 iiB i££ CAIRO, EGYPT SEPTEMBER 19-20 OCTOBER 08- 09 As Briscoe rested at anchor in Hurghada ' s harbor, groups of sail- ors journeyed to Cairo for a two day tour. Cairo, the capital of Egypt and largest city in Africa, is a booming metropolis of 14 million people. Throughout most of its history, Cai- ro has been a major center of trade due to its location on the Nile River. The ship ' s tour commenced at the Egyptian Antiquities Museum, where the American sailors mar- veled at Egypt ' s ancient history. Some of the world ' s most important archeologicat treasures from the Old Worth, dating from 3200 B.C. to 500 A.D., were housed In this muse- um, including the famous Death Mask of King Tutankhamen. Most of Egypt ' s pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Some, however, were en- crypted in the Pyramids of Giza, lo- cated nine miles west of Cairo. The largest of the Giza pyramids is the Great Pyramid, the Seventh Wonder of the Old World, standing 481 feet high at its apex. Five hundred feet southeast of the Great Pyramid stands the sol- emn Sphinx, a recumbent lion with the head of a man which guards the Pharaoh ' s tomb. The body of the lion symbolized kingship and might while the human head symbolized intelligence. In downtown Cairo, Briscoe sail- ors visited Egypt ' s Tomb of the l|n- known Soldier, a massive three legged pyramid covering a solitary slab of marble. Directly across the street from this monument stood the reviewing stand where Presi- dent Anwar Sadat was assassinated. For a traveler in search of history or pleasure, few cities in the world can match the historical treasures Briscoe sailors discovered in Cairo. 4 ' Ird . - ' l- -Tr- J_.4J TT HAIFA, ISRAEL OCTOBER 27- NOVEMBER 05 The port visit to Haifa, Israel marked the midway point of Briscoe ' s deployment. Haifa, which is located approximate- ly 25 miles south of Lebanon, is home to the friendliest USO in the Mediterranean. Most Israelis spoke excellent English and sailors were exposed to Israeli culture through USO sponsored parties, trips to a kibbutz, classical concerts by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and invitations to Israeli homes. While in Israel, Briscoe sailors visited Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and the Sea of Galilee. Tours to Jeru- salem were by far the biggest hit! Briscoe sailors took advan- tage of every opportunity to see historic sights like the old walled city of Jerusalem, the Western Wall (the Wailing Wall) and the Dome of the Rock. Sailors who remained in Haifa feasted on shwarmas, falafels and other Israeli delicacies. Those who wanted to shop in a western style mall traveled to the Scud Mall, so named for being hit by an Iraqi missile during the Gulf War. Others ventured to the Caprice Dia- mond Factory which featured precious stones at relatively inexpensive prices. In all, Haifa was one of Briscoe ' s best port visits of the deployment. Besides the important histori- cal sites, it was the especially warm welcome extended by the Israeli people that made the crew feel at home. ■I: !fi ■Xt ' i i v ? y m:. U •■n ina.

Greeks, Ro- mans, Spaniards, and Austrians contributed to the beautiful designs of Naples ' renaissance-like, pan- oramic skyline. One of the more famous structures within the city was the Castle Nuovo, which over- looks Naples harbor. To the South- east of Naples rises the ominous volcano Vesuvius which looms over the historic ruins of Pompeii. Briscoe sailors were enraptured with the rich Neapolitan cuisine. Fa- vorite dishes included fancy sea- food, traditional pasta, and Italy ' s world famous pizza. Christmas shoppers discovered Via Roma had incredible deals on cameos, wooden jewelry boxes, leather jackets, and Capodiamonte ceramic artwork.

On 11 December, after nearly four months of Maritime Intercep- tion Operations, USS Briscoe, sailed from the Northern Red Sea after es- tablishing a new U.S. record (275 Boardings) in support of the United Nations embargo against Iraq. The old record of 245 boardings held by USS Aubrey Fitch (FFG-34) fell on 04 Dec. when Briscoe boarded the Estonian merchant vessel, Loska. Maritime Interception Force (MIF) Operations originated from the cooperation between coalition forces during Desert Storm. During the Gulf War, these forces helped deprive Iraq of outside supplies and revenues. Today, three to four coali- tion warships continue to enforce the UN sanctions against Iraq. In a typical inspection, vessels were contacted by a coalition war- ship and questioned regarding their destinations, origin and type of car- go. A team of inspectors would then board vessels proceeding to or de- parting from the Jordanian port of Aqaba to verify that all cargo was properly manifested and that cargo prohibited by United Nations ' sanc- tions was not aboard. Due to the high level of merchant traffic through the straits of Tiran, Briscoe averaged about three boardings every day. Each boarding generally took from 1-3 hours to complete. Members of the U.S. Coast Guard were assigned to the ship as experts in maritime board- ings and inspections. Several mer- chant vessels were diverted from their intended destination due to manifests that could not be verified by an at-sea inspection of their car- goes or for paperwork that was not in compliance with the United Na- tions ' sanctions. Earlier in the deployment, on Au- gust 10, Briscoe established anoth- er record when it jointly conducted the 5000th boarding of MIF Opera- tions with the USS Robert G. Brad- ley (FFG-49). Briscoe ' s Combat In- formation Center team established their own record by querying 500 ships while Briscoe remained on station for almost four months in the Red Sea. 39 UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT Underway replenishment (UNREP) is a broad term applied to all methods of transferring fuel, munitions, supplies, and personnel from one vessel to another while ships are underway. The term replenishment at sea, formerly used in this sense, now applies to all methods except those for fueling at sea. Two general methods of UNREP are used: con- nected (CONREP) and vertical (VERTREP). While BRISCOE was on deployment in the Red Sea, the ship was primarily resupplied via CONREP. Dur- ing CONREP, two or more ships steam side-by- side with hoses and lines used to transfer fuel, ammunition, supplies, and personnel. A majority of Briscoe ' s 22 refuelings were conducted at night, frequently under adverse wind and sea conditions. fc-f FLIGHT QUARTERS FLIGHT QUARTERS H 43 STEEL BEACH PICNIC MSI Brown, portrait of a man and his grill.

A DIVISION A-Division, better known as A-Gang, is composed of Enginemen (EN ' s). A- Gangers work on every piece of secondary and tertiary equipment on the ship. We own equipment and machinery from the bow (anchor windlass) to the stern (steering gear) and from the keel to the mast. IVIembers of A-Division repair: air conditioning units, refrigerators, evaporators, sewage disposal units, anchor wind- lasses, small boats and steering gear units. Any mechanical system that is not owned by another division belongs to A-Gang. With this in mind, it ' s easy to see that you will always find an A-Ganger hard at work. 60 AUXILIARIES OFFICER A DIVISION ENC Kenneth Gibbens Virginia Beach, VA ENS David Horn Chillicothe, OH ENS Dennis Calhoun Taylor, Ml ENS Michael Pelleriti North Brunswick, NJ ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT UUIUIII « c  DIVISION EE02 EE05 I i «■F Row (I to r): IC2 M.

E DIVISION E-Dlvision is a multi-talented, resourceful, and highly motivated team of Electriciansmates (EM) and Interior Communications (IC) Specialists. Briscoe ' s EMs refer to their electrical shop as Briscoe ' s Power Lighting Company, because without their skills, Briscoe would be dark and silent within a matter of minutes. Almost every shipboard function involves electrical power including training and elevating the ship ' s gun and missile mounts, turning Briscoe ' s 26 ton rudders, and powering auxiliary machinery. Electricity is also used to operate the ship ' s interior and exterior communications, combat systems, navigation equipment, and provide power for the ship ' s helicopter. Briscoe ' s Interior Communications Specialists are technical experts who put Ma Bell to shame by provid- ing prompt and effective repair service to Briscoe ' s complicated phone systems, alarm systems, gyro compass- es, and amplified voice systems. Additionally, the IC men are tasked with providing corrosive protection to the ship ' s hull with the Cathodic Protection System. Another function of the IC men is to provide daily entertain- ment to the crew through the ship ' s Site Television Station. This internal TV station plays the latest and greatest sitcoms, movies, and educational programs. E Division may be small but we pride ourselves on working on more systems throughout the ship than any other division. I ' ll 4 I II 66 ELECTRICAL OFFICER ffrij E DIVISION We ' re 1!

II CA DIVISION CA Division consists of sonar technicians and torpedomen. In recent history, the Navy ' s largest threat was submarines. Because of this, the Navy developed the An SQQ-89, the world ' s most sophisticated Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) suite. CA Division operates and maintains the AN SQQ-89 ASW suite which includes the AN SQS-53B hull mounted sonar, the AN SQR-19 towed array, and the AN SQQ-28 Sonobuoy processing system. Also, CA Division operates and maintains Briscoe ' s ASW Weapon systems: the MK 116 Underwater Fire Control, and two MK 32 Torpedo Tubes. This large array of equipment requires CA Division to specialize in many areas from computer electronics to hydraulics. During the Middle Eastern Force Deployment, CA Division personnel were major partici- pants in the Maritime Boarding Operations. Assignments for CA Division ranged from Boarding Team members to .50 caliber machine gunners. 96 { STG2 Jeffrey Curtis Omaha, NE STG2 Timothy Edmunds Huntington, WV STG3 Michael Roelofsz Kansas City, MO STG3 William Turner Marietta, GA A Chorus Line in Rota.

CV DIVISION CV Division stands guard over tlie Navy ' s premier Anti-Surface Weapon System on Strike Destroyer Briscoe — The MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) which houses the Tomahawk Cruise Missile. The division is comprised of Firecontrolmen (PCs), Gunnersmates (GMs), and two Tomahawk trained Operations Specialist (OS). Presiding over this multi-rated, multi-talented division are LTJG Kacher, the division officer, and GMC Spurrier, the LCPO. The tacticians of the division are led by the divisional LPO, FCl Bassham. Since the beginning of Briscoe ' s deployment, FC2 Icayan, FC3 Densley, FC3 Boivin, FC3 Hugo, and OSl Smith have maintained a vigilant watch over Tomahawk ' s data base. If the need arose to launch Tomahawk, these men would put the sites on the target. Between accomplishing Tomahawk maintenance, standing twelve hours of watch a day (inport or at sea), and controlling Briscoe ' s newest asset, JOTS, the FCs are constantly in motion. The true launch technicians of the VLS system are the GMs who are led by Work Center Supervisor GMM2 McKean. GMM2 Cassista, GMM3 Mitchell, GMM3 Pelgen, and GMM3 Williams maintain the VLS launcher in sterling condition. In addition to their divisional duties, GMC Spurrier, GMM2 Cassista and FC3 Densley are on Briscoe ' s Maritime Interdiction Team while FC3 Hugo is the ship ' s MARS technician. When the CV team is not excelling on watch, they can be found pursuing professional qualifications or lifting hefty weights in Briscoe ' s weight room.

AIR DETACHMENT The Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron Light Four Four Helicopter Detachment Five does much more than Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). Five officer and twelve enlisted men comprise the HSL-44 Swamp- fox detachment based out of Mayport, Florida. We use Magnum 456, the most advanced helicopter model in service today, an IBM Sikorsky SH-60B Seahawk, to respond in a moments notice to a multitude of missions. The SH-60B is an integral part of the LAMPS (Light Airborne Multi-purpose System) MK III team and the upgrade to LAMPS I. Besides ASW, the Swampfox aircraft and crew are capable of Anti- Surface Surveillance and Targeting (ASST), Search and Rescue (SAR), Vertical Replenishment (VERTREP), and Logistics. The Officer in Charge of DET 5 is LCDR Rob Presler, an accomplished small deck warrior with over 3500 flight hours. MEF 3-92 makes LT Eccles, the Maintenance Officer, a two time veteran of the area. He was also here for Desert Shield Storm. LTs Rolince and Heiler round out the pilots of the DET. AWl(AW) O ' Daniel and AW2 Gallino are the DET ' s enlisted aircrewmen. Both bring us a wealth of varied experience and character. Leading the ever challenging maintenance effort is AMSC(AW) Forster; a well versed metalsmith.

Our leading Petty Officer, leading by silent strength, is Aviation Electrician ' s mate (AEl) Larson. AE3 Lee is the DET ' s junior Electrician ' s mate. ADl Hooker controls the night maintenance, ensuring Magnum 456 is ready for the early launches. Our second Aviation Machinist ' s (AD) Mate is AD3 Freeman. ATI (AW) Bounds is the Air DET ' s fourth first class Petty Officer and displays enough energy for all four of them. We also have Aviation Electronic ' s Technician (AT2) Wardlaw. Keeping the paperwork flowing smoothly in our maintenance department is AZ2 Herman. As can be seen, there is much diversity and talent within the Air Department. Even though our stay with Briscoe is never permanent, we are gracious for the welcome, making us feel like part of ship ' s company.

The primary mission is to keep command and control stations informed of the tactical situation. The secondary mission is to provide control and or assistance in specified operations. The amount of information handled by CIC is enormous and this data is sent to the command and control stations after it is: 1. Collected — Gathering information from numerous sources. 2. Processed — Elimination of non-essential information. 3. Displayed — Visual perception of data in a useful form. 4. Evaluated — Screening and correlating information to provide command and control with essential information. 5. Disseminated — Distributing evaluated information to various shipboard stations and other friendly units on a need-to-know basis. CIC thrives on information and plays an important role in many warfare areas including: Anti-Submarine, Anti-Surface, Anti-Air, Anti-Ship Missile Defense, Naval Gunfire Support, navigation, and piloting. 24 hours a day, OC Division is on call. h 166 COMBAT INFORMATION CENTER OFFICER OSC(SW) Antonio Escobar San Lorenzo, PR CW02 Nick Nicolas Virginia Beach, VA OSC(SW) Glenn Vandine Mansfield, OH Man ... is this guy boring.
