Y QQ THE BRUSH The USS BRUSH slid down the ways and was christened at Bethlehem Steel Company's Staten Island Shipyard on December 28th, 1943. She was christened by Miss Virginia Perkens, great grand-daughter of the inventor, Dr. Charles F. Brush, after Whom the ship is named. Her first Commanding Officer, Commander John Edwards, USN, predicted: '6The ship will steam victoriously into Tokyo Bay. BRUSH did. During World War H, BRUSH was sent on many campaigns, several of which Were: Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet, to launch the invasion against Leyte, Samar and Luzong successfully fighting off numerous 4'Kamakaze attacks, serving as advance radar unit, she battled through the terrific typhoon later made famous by the fictional 'cCaine Mutiny. World War H years were spent successfully by BRUSH, with the exception of one hit by a 500 pound bomb. Later, during the Korean War she hit a mine, and completed four WestPac cruises during the Korean conflict. She has completed six WestPac cruises since 1955, and is currently serving as a part of a Hunter-Killer Group. , On her bridge BRUSH wears ribbons for the American Campaign, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign fwith Silver Starj, the World War II Victory, Navy Occupation, China Service, Korean Campaign, United Nations, National Defense, Philippines Liberation, Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Philippines Unit Citation. During her lifetime, her crews have earned 5 Silver Stars, 7 Bronze Stars, 24 letters of Commendations and 60 Purple Hearts fl7 posthumouslyj, corroborating Major F. Roger's letter to the ship in which he noted: '4AgaiI1 we are reminded that great ships alone do not make our great Navy. 41 L' J ,, 1 -A' .1 mfr if , 1 1 , 522113 1 V.. f .

They gave an additional meaning to our cruise, that of a search for an understanding among the people of the World. Their friendship and Warm hospitality will remain with us forever. We will always think of the many visits into their homes, Wherewe observed the families and their native customs. Vlfhen they came aboard We were amazed at their eager curiosity and the many who were Well versed in the English language. We enjoyed the athletic competitions against their excellent teams and the numerous parties given for us. We encountered one major problem though, and that was trying to find a space on board for all of the presents given to us. The Japanese script presented on the cover of this book is the motto 'of the KUSHIRO Commercial High School. The following interpretation truly represents the sincerity and integrity of our friends in KUSHIRO: MRESPECT OURSELVES AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER And further, '4lVlaking it our purpose to become such a man who is pleased with his study, his work, his service to the others, and thanking our daily lives, let us make the utmost effort to fulfill our lives and to construct the better society.

FIRST DIVISICN The tradition of the Navy is maintained by the First Division Bos'ns, for their duties are of such nature as to never be replaced by the encroachment of the atom or electron. Computers haven't solved a better means to refuel, replenish, or combat the corrosive salt water than the means used by the deck gang - sweat and seamanship. When BRUSH fires her main battery the mounts are mostly manned by First Division personnel. Though sometimes no one knew where the shots were falling, it was safe to say 64We got our rounds out. Sometimes with a growl, but more often with a smile, the Deck gang turned to at all hours and in all kinds of weather to do the job at hand.

However, when they did, interesting things happened. As each round fired loud cheers could be heard as the gunner's mates kept their fingers crossed. Sometimes there was a gloomy silence after ucommence fire and in two shakes of a breech block, an embarrassed gunner's mate could be seen heaving the offending round over the side. Between exercises, Chief Hepler's gunners, led by Staack, declared war upon rust and the mountsialways came out on top. Once, the gunners took apart a 5 gun and put it back together again. That's along story, though, only to be told over a tall glass of heer - where most of the gunner's mates can usually he found. 1 . My 'fm ff hs 'i','lgQl:1.-xi M- , .

The submarines have more colorful names for them. Once our men got their blood-shot eyes and their supersensitive ears on the trail of a sub, the issue was usually decided in favor of the BRUSH. '4Pottsy and 6'Guss-Gusf' '4Mouse and all the sonar gang took their jobs quite seriously. Testimony of this fact is big White HAH that BRUSH picked up for excellence in ASW. Fire Controlmen make up another part of the Fox Division. Dead eye Dixon's men managed to keep their gear in top shape. Their motto was: 'GI fired a shot into the air and where it landed . . .N The Torpedomen make up the final part of the Fox Division. They take their job of ASW even more seriously than the Sonarmen. For example, sometimes they drop five handgrenades at a time to mark a submarine attack instead of one. The Triple Threat Fox Division was a rather mild bunch ashore, with the exception of the Divi- sion Party. They would be glad to tell you all about it if they could only remember. 99 is i Q Mark! l I Watching . . .

How often have they heard these words? How- ever, that's their job, keeping the vital machinery of the ship in operating order. 'Tut all electronic gear in standby while shifting to shore power. This word and uRig the WestPac lights, are just two of the many tasks that keep the sparkies busy. ' '4Duty IC man, lay to the Wardroomf' Between the crew and the officers there was a continual struggle over the duty projector. There is also the pitlog master speed indicator to contend with- The IC man believes that speed is all relative, for the BRUSH was without a pitlog most of the time. ulfley! We have water in Forward Diesel. This was screamed to the Shipfitters but, as usual, they could handle it. With a little help from repair facilities in Sasebo, they got the whole deck house watertight. R Division is constantly at work throughout the ship. If it's not actual work then it's drill after drill maintaining battle TC-3dY DC parties. MR Division has their problems, but never S0 had until they were graced with a new Division Officer, commonly known as Dicky Damage.

They operate and maintain the ship,s main propul- sion engines - with a little steam support from the BT's. A secondary job of the usnipesv is the operation of the ship's evaporators, or distilling plant. That's fresh Water they distill, by the Way. Well, M Division Wishes they could distill something other than fresh Water. What a cruise that would bel? Anyway, their fresh water was claimed to be crystal clear and the purest in the fleet. Everyone usually agreed, except when the chlorine got a bit too strong, or when too much salt was added to take the flatness out of the water and give it flavor. The lVlachinist's mates also supply the ship with enough electrical power to meet the demands of a small city by operating and main- taining the ship's turbo-generator.

Responsible for the ship's boilers, which supply high pressure steam to the powerful turbo-generators in the engine rooms, the Boilermen must fill up the fuel tanks in port. Then they must distribute the fuel throughout the ship so that the proper equilibrium is attained. Many a four hash mark Boat- sWain's mate will take the heaviest of seas without batting an eyelash, but let the ship have a two degree list in port and he's as off balance as a land lubber lost in a life raft at sea. The brunt of many sarcastic remarks, the HB Division is the most secretly admired. Working in the most trying conditions, such as temperatures hot enough to boil water, they kept the Brush going with the hottest steam in WestPac. These are the Devil's Disciples. 5 Snipes are good leaders, they're easy to follow H ey, Meester He-M0000 . 6- 0 H1 that You Ijke my b Offer? .chlef Snipe In 3 Spot You mean we can Work in the bilges now?

With Store- keepers, Ship's Servicemen, Disbursing Clerks, Commissarymen and Stewards Mates, they have supported the men and the shipis equipment on this cruise. When he wasn't busy organizing a work- ing party, a storekeeper was fishing out one of the ten thousand items necessary to put the ship's gear back on the line. The Ship's Servicemen were doing the laundry, cutting hair and convincing the men the Blue Blades were really better than Super Blue Blades anyway. The Disbursing Clerk was figuring the earnings and paying a man back two of the ten dollars he spent on Shore Patrol. The Commissarymen gave the men three meals every day and fed the 200 people standing mid-watches every night underway. The Stewards kept the officers fed and attempted to maintain some differentiation between Officers' Aft and Fwd. Although there might have been some bitterness about this, Supply enabled the ship to stay out of port and do her job for long periods. They also managed to keep a few other ships going through HUK logistics. And throughout the cruise one could always hear from a Supply man the immortal question: '6W'hen are we going to get our porthole? W W W A What do you mean - too rough to cut hair? fa + , W X E OC DIVISION OC Division is probably the most diversified of all. It includes the Yeomen and Personnelmen who take care of all the ship's correspondence and the individual records of the men. These pen pushers turn out mountains of paper Work daily. Another segment of OC, the Quartermasters -have jobs ranging from navigating the ship to winding the clocks. They are also responsible for all the charts of the Pacific and all of the hourly weather reports every day of the year. Communication is still another responsibility of the OC Division. This task is handled by the Radiomen and Signal- men. These men spend many long and often cold hours on Watch keeping the BRUSH in Contact with the world and guarding the uvoice of command never fwell hardly everj garbled with back- ground noise. But don't forget the Postal Clerk, still another responsibility of OC Division, who is forced to write 200 letters daily to keep morale high. 321, Lilllg Qijfiiii.. 1122 333 .XL g i g- 1 0 1221? .

CI DIVISICJN To collect, evaluate, display, disseminate, sightsee and drink were the missions of the Ol Division during the cruise. They were stronger in some phases than others. You guessed which one, for the Division left their mark on Japan. They came away with all types of memories. When hauled forcibly in from liberty and sent to sea there was always complaining about their heads and stomachs. The Radarmen and Electronic Technicians who make up Ol Division did their job well, though. When merchant ships attempted to run down the BRUSH, the Radarmen were always there with their recommendations like, Go get 'em and '4Let's Play Chicken. The Captain rested easy with that incomparable team of uCreek on the perfectly tuned stack, Cole plotting away and Dorn asleep on the DRT. The ET's, led by Chief Popov, kept the gear tuned to perfection - except when it would not work. An additional part of Ol Division is the Corpsmen. They were responsible for the sanitation of the ship and the health of the men, and of course, rendering first aid to such notable accidents as the XO's cut finger.

Her first stop was Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, our fiftieth state. Here the crew had the opportunity to see Waikiki, Diamond Head and other famous points of interest. One of the most interesting stops was the International Market Place where exotic imports from the corners of the world were displayed. Many evenings were spent at Don the Beachcomberis, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Hawaiian Village and other equally fascinating clubs. Aloha shirts were the uniform-of-the-day. Recreational activities included swimming, surf-boarding, golfing, and jeepney sightseeing. The crew enjoyed divisional competition in softball while the officers often channeled their greatest efforts toward uOgg', hunting. Needless to say, all hands had a wonderful time in the land of sugar and pineapple. ' BRUSH arrived next in Sasebo, Japan. A whole new world appeared to those on their first cruise. Sasebo, the westernmost city in Japan, lies on the north-western tip of Kyushu and is one of the two major U.S. naval bases in Japan. The climate is similar to that of the East coast of the United States. The customs are quite different. In Japan, shoes are removed before entering a home, chopsticks are used in place of conventional silverware, and the exchanging of presentos is a traditional way of life. A large variety of activities were available to the crew. Hunting, fish- ing, and attending Sumo wrestling matches-the forerunner of Judo, were very popular as was touring to Nagasaki, Unzen, and Arita -- the picture spots of Kyushu. All too soon, BRUSH put to sea and commenced her most memorable portion of the cruise, north to KUSHIRO. In Kushiro the crew had the opportunity to study a Japanese city untainted by numerous WEST- PAC cruises. The people of Kushiro were able to meet the BRUSH, a floating cross-section of the United States. The result was catalytic. During three days of general visiting over twenty-three thousand guests came aboard. Ashore, the men of the BRUSH saw beautiful Akan National Park and the interesting town of Kushiro, itself. The ship's teams played basketball, softball, golf, volleyball, ping-pong and had pistol matches with area schools and Kushiro city teams. Ass always, 'Tresentosi' were exchanged. The BRUSH left Kushiro hoping to return. Soon, BRUSH was steaming into Yokosuka, Japan's largest Naval port. Yokosuka, nearby To- kyo and Yokohama form one of J apan's major industrial complexes. Several tours were arranged, xx fe ZA X WHS-'W STCRY 0F THE CRUISE fContinuedj the most popular being a day's visit to Tokyo. lt is almost impossible to describe the impact of the sights, sounds and smells of this, the largest of cities, on the newcomer. After BRUSH'S short stay in Yokosuka BRUSH proceeded south to Okinawa, one of the Ryukyu Island chain. Here at the home of the HTea-House of the August Moon the members of the crew were able to go on a fishing trip, have a few swim calls, golf and bowl. Also, they participated in a tiny bit of beer drinking. Fewer BRUSH personnel were run down because, in Okinawa, cars drive on the right side of the road. With sore bodies from all the activities ashore, the men returned to the BRUSH and headed for the next port of call, the pearl of the Orient - Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an international city where goods from all over the world arrive by airliner and Chinese Junk. A city of contrasts where the very rich and the unbelievably poor rub elbows. The days flewby in a whirlwind of sightseeing, shopping and tasting of exotic dishes. Too soon the BRUSH was on her way to Subic Bay, Philippines. Even though the month was November the thermometer wavered between eighty and ninety degrees. With such fine weather it was inevitable that swimming, fishing, water skiing and skin diving were the favorite sports, not to mention that small group of beer drinkers. A few of the men were able to go up to Manila and tour the famous San Miguel Brewery. A few representatives of the beer drinkers club were present and after a few hours of sampling it was agreed that uBrew is Best. A brief stop at Sasebo and then on to Kobe for Christmas. As could be expected quite a few long faces were soon as Christmas approached, but in many cases these were quickly dispelled when the BRUSH brought aboard a large number of Japanese orphans. It was hard to maintain a long face in front of all those upturned smiles. Again, many tours were available for all hands. Kyoto, Osaka, and the famous Takarazuka Girls Theatre were only an hour away by modern Japanese trains. From Kobe the BRUSH spent at safe and sane New Year's at sea and then revisited Sasebo and Okinawa. It sounds as though the BRUSI-lwas on an pleasure cruise. Most of her time in WESTPAC, how- ever, was spent at sea, maintaining ,her icity, traditional to the Navy, as a ready and willing defender of the free world. - -.
