The coat of arms consists of a shield, parted per Dale, dexter blue and sinister white, with a blue border. The two gold bars charged diagonally across the shield symbolize the rank of one of the two naval officers for whom the ship was named. Lieutenant Thomas Mason Brumby. The charge in dexter shief, four stars superimposed, symbolized Admiral Frank H. Brumby, the nephew of Lt Brumby. In sinister base a crescent symbolizes the birthplace of USS Brumby, New Orleans, The Crescent City. The main charge centered and parted per pale, counter colored, is the anchor, which, together with the blue and gold coat of arms, symbolized the tradition of the United States Navy, the service to which Admiral and Lieutenant Brumby devoted their lives. The supporters of the coat of arms are two brumbies, again symbolizing the Admiral and Lieutenant Brumby. The brumby is an Australian wild horse and is referred to in a Kipling story, Her Majesty ' s Servants. ' The compartment contains the ship ' s name and number. The motto VENATOR ET VASTATOR , Hunter and Destroyer , signifies the mission of USS BRUMBY and its role as an anti-submarine warfare ocean escort in the Cruiser- Destroyer Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet. IP COMMANDER ELDRIDGE is a native of Americus, Georgia.

COMMANDER JACK NOLL NAVOCFORMED USS BRUMBY was selected to represent the United States for the 29th activation of NAVOCFORMED (Naval On Call Force Mediterra- nean). This is a NATO exercise conducted once a year. The other countries present were Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Great Britain. Brumby sailors were given a chance to cross over to the other ships to see how our NATO counter parts operated and the only way to do this was by highline transfer between ships. It was a wonderful experience to see so many sailors from so many different countries being friends and sharing and caring. The following pictures show the activation ceremony of the 29th NAVOCFORMED. Below photo shows the ships who participated in the 29th NAVOCFORMED as they were moofed in Ancona.

Our visit to Puerto Cortex Honduras was a stop ttiat all Brumby sailors will never forget. Besides being our first Port-of-Call, it v os a city tt at v os in bad need of v hiatever assistance we could provide. NC1(SW) Martin organized a volunteer work group that went to Escuela Marco Aurelio Soto ctiildren ' s schiool to improve conditions for the students attending sctiool. We raised the level of a dirt floor class room two and one half feet, to prevent it from getting flooded when it rains and the cement was poured the next day. We installed water fountains, painted the whole school, cut the gross and made o lot of new friends. The work group consisted of MMC(SW) STONE, NC1(SW) MARTIN, SN PARFIH, OS1(SW) HARDEN, SKSN TRUJILLO, IC2 LASHOMB, AX2 HANS, YN3 SPIVEY, DK1 SANTOS, BM3 CUMMINGS, TM03 DARNA, SN WILDGOOSE, DK3 RODRIGUEZ, AD2 NICHOLSON, OS1 BABCOX, FM3 EDALGO.

FUN IN THE SUN During our time underway we spent most of the time trying to enjoy as much of the cruise as possible. Some of the things we did were water sports, balloon toss and hot dog eating contest, just to mention a few. Take a look at some of these photos and you ' ll see how time can fly when you ' re having fun. GEE Batman you never said fighting crime could be so much fun.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: Engineering is a vital aspect of any ship ' s organization, be she a combatant, such as BRUMBY, or one of the many support ships of the fleet. The engineers operate and maintain such systems as the ship ' s propul- sion system, interior communications systems, and hydraulic systems. Engineering is also respon- sible for taking on fuel, making fresh water for the crew and the boilers, and providing heat and air conditioning.

What made this creature unique among all others was his thirst for the golden nectar, beer. His thirst kept him on a never ending search. His search brought him upon a Navy H-2 and its sailors. These sailors knew exactly what Beerwolf needed. They took him in, nutured him and fed his needs. Beerwolf knew he had found a home with these men, and followed them on their travels over the high seas. He looked out for them and protected them. This strange alliance became known as WOLFPACK 84 and the rest is history. ,er ending ' erffcr. ' ::edttie: LM iJl tpLf-  f. irmtt 80 « ' ■• ■ ■ ' - ' .
