The ship was renamed CALIFORniA in 1869 and decommissioned in 1873 at Mare Island. The second CALIFORISIA, a 503-foot armored cruiser was launched in San Francisco in 1904. In 1914, she was renamed SAiy DIEGO so that the name CALIFORniA could be assigned to a newly authorized battleship. The Ihird ship to hear the ndinc CALI- rORniA was a l79foot yacht. The craft. SP-249, was commissioned in 1917. Designed for a speed of 12 knots. SP-249 was armed with two six- potindcrs ami two Colt machine guns. In 1918. the ship s name was changed to its original name: tIAUOLI. Thcship was used for local patrols out of San nicfio. In 1920. the ship was sold to a lunthci I ompari} in I ' loricla. Ihc fourth CALirOKniA. SF-647. was a 58foot yacht built in 1910. commissioned in 191 . and owned by the San Francisco Bar Pilots Association. The vessel registered 34 tons, and attained a ma.ximum speed of 9.2 Knots. The vessel patrolled the coast around the San Francisco area. USS CALIFORniA BB-44 BB-44 PRIOR TO PEARL HARBOR BB-44 AFTER PEARL HARBOR The largest ship to bear the state name was the battleship CALI- FORniA, BB-44. The ship was commissioned on 10 August 1921 and for 19 years served as flagship of the Pacific Fleet (1931-1941). Its charac teristics were: length, 624 feet; displace- ment, 32,300 tons; speed 21 knots; and complement, 57 offi- cers and 1,026 enlisted men. The ship was armed with 12 14 50 guns, 14 5 51 guns, and 21- inch submerged torpedo tubes. On Sunday, December 7, 1941, CALIFORniA was berthed in Battleship Row ' at Pearl Har- bor. During the Japanese aerial attack, the CALIFORniA took three torpedo hits, causing the ship to list 8 degrees to port. By Thursday, the CALIFORniA was sitting on the harbor s floor with only its superstructure above the surface. In 1942, the CALIFORniA was refloated. After repairs, the ship departed by Puget Sound navy Yard, Washington, for major re- construction. The CALIFORniA returned to active service in 1944. During WWII, the CALIFORniA earned seven battle stars. It par- ticipated in shore bombard- ments during the Saipan, Guam, Tinian operations, and in the Battle of Surigao Strait. While providing gunfire support at Lin- gayen Gulf the CALIFORniA was struck by a kamikaze plane. After repairs, the ship served off Okinawa, in the East China Sea, and in support of the landing of the occupational forces in Ja- pan. The CALIFORniA was placed in commission rcseivc in 1946, de- commissioned in 1947, and sold for scrap in 1959.

I Those of the c cu that did manage to get ashore, if only for a few hours, were not lacking for things to do. Considered one of the best na y bases in the world, Subic Bay offers many fine services, the most predominant being the Tar East Trader . Here all types of electronic equipment could be purchased at a substantial savings. Directly outside the gate of naval Station, Subic Bay, is the city of Olongapo. Olongapo is located approximately 100 miles from the capital of the Fhilippines, Manila. Alotig with outlying districts of Barreo Barretta and Subic City , Olongapo provides a unique opportu- nity to do some of the world s fiercest bartering for items ranging from furniture for the home to hats and t-shirts. Also known for its nightlife, Olongapo offers an enjoyable time to anyone ivho cares to partake. Subic Bay did not hold as much liberty time for the crew as it some- times does but it marked the first of many opportunities the crew of CALirORPilA would ha e to show the teamwork and dedication nec- essary to do the Job right fulfill our mission, and still haw time for fun.

The sun rises over the calm, peaceful Indian Ocean, the continent of Africa begins to emerge from the receding darkness. Destination ■ Kenya. Com- prised of 224,960 square miles (slightly smaller than Tex- as), and a population of over 11 million people, Kenya is one of the largest agricultural countries in East Africa. The national language of Kenya is Swahili; however, English, Arabic, and various African and Asian vernacular lan- guages are also spoken. Kenya, having large influxes of people from many different countries, has several differ- ent religions. The three main ones are: Animism - the be- lief that all animals, plants, birds, rocks, etc, contain souls. It involves sacrifices and ceremonies involving rythmic and colorful dances, costumes, and body make- up. Islam believes in the God, Allah, and his prophet Mo- hammed. Hinduism believes in Branma, or Universal Creator , and the Caste System. The CALIFORNIA dropped anchor approximately 2 miles offshore of the coastal city of Mombasa, known as The Gateway to Ken- ya. Mombasa, with a population of 400,000 is the second largest city in Kenya. It is a municipality that covers a 5.5 square mile island, and 15.7 square miles of the main- land. It is mainly a resort city that caters to travelers, and vacationers from Europe and the Middle East. Located close to the equator its beautiful beaches and fine hotels are a natural attraction to those who desire Fun in the Sun . 178 ?• X r -if Hhilc in Nombas T the crcn took advantage of the many excellent tours, which ranged from a one day tour of Fort Jesus and old town Nomtyasa, to two and three day tours to either the bush country to sec wildlife in their natural habitat or to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro to see the spec- tacular sights. Mombasa s aide range of hotel accommo- dations were also enjoyed b) many crewmcmbers. They took the chance, b} day, to relax by the pool, lounge on the beach recline in a bathtub, and telephone home. By night, the Tripped the Light Fantastic at the local dis- cos tried their hand at the hotel casinos, and finally, got to get a good night s sleep in a full sized, non-rocking bed. Walking through the center of Mombasa, one found ped- dlers displaying beautiful handcarxed teak and ebony fi- gures of tribal warriors, animals, birds, and almost every- thing else imaginable. Also, semiprecious stones were available in large quantities. The days spent in Mombasa will not be soon forgotten. Providing both a break in ship- board routine and an ideal opportunity for cultural educa- tion and exchange, Mombasa, Kenya, was a most enjoy- able port visit.

Onboard CALlFORniA, while in the Indian Ocean, mail was delivered by helicopter, nor- mally an f1-46 from one of our support ships. It never seems to come often enough, so the men assigned to the flight deck hurry to man their stations and re- port that they are manned and ready to receive the helo. Who makes up the flight deck crew? rirst, there ' s the Crash and Salvage Leader, flTC(SW) Gochenour; busy cajoling the Crash Crew to get their fire-fighting equipment laid out and ready. The three foam nozzlemen, HT2 Socia, t1T3 liraus, and m Keys, quickly make their manned and ready reports. The Salvage Team, or hot-suit men ' , Ffi Croyle and m Keith, report that they are suited-up and ready to re- spond if needed. IC3 Samples reports a satisfactory communications check with the 3 AFFF station, manned by m Simmons. And, now, the flight deck creivis ready; the Crash and Salvage Scene Leader and the Fueling Crew Leader have reported Manned and Ready ; and the entire team waits for that all-important word — Green Deck . Then the helo approaches and makes its deliv- ery, maybe takes on some fuel and passengers, and, of course, the out-going mail; and departs — another safe and successful flight quarters is history.

CALlFORniA takes pride in her outstanding safety record and one reason is the attention to detail given to the FOD walkdown. Our two LSF ' s (Landing Signals Enlisted), BN3 Robinson and BMSfi Carlopoli, are busy lining up everyone for the FOD walkdown. The Chock and Chainmen, Sn Fake, BM3 Henley.

As the mist cicjicd jiul cit} cdtnc into view, uc could actiidlly feci the age of it. Dating bjch ceiitiiiics l ciplcs is c? beautiful and mysterious city. Ruled through the ages by eight different countries, ricjpoli- tjns are initijil} lean of strangers, but, once friends are made, the} are some of the most friendly arid help- ful people in the world. Upon debarking the liberty launches, the first thing uc encountered was Piaples traffic. It is easily compared to San Francisco traffic during peak rush hour. However, once in a cab the slow ride was appreciated, as it gave the opportunity to I iew the spectacular architecture of the city. Con- sidering we only had one day in riaples, there wasn t much time for tours, but a few of the crewmembers took the opportunity to visit the city of Fompeii. Bur- ied by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the first cen- tury . one is surprised at the size and modern conven- iences of the city, and how well presened it is. right down to the petrified people and animals in the muse- um oxerlooking the city. The majority of the crew took the opportunity in riaples to visit the navy exchange to purchase much needed items that we had done without for nearly file months. Located on the far side of the city, the drive to the exchange was a tour in itself as the slow scenic drive provided a close view of ria- ples and its inhabitants. OS3 SAMS AHD OSSn CARTER AT FLEET LAFIDinO PhOTO BY: OS3 BRUHSTAD The Italian cuisine was excellent: spaghetti, bucatini, vermicelli, .iti, and canneloni were but a few of the dif ferent types of pasta that were available, as well as seafood and pizza. In some ways a one day visit in ria- ples was good, if we had stayed any longer the ship ' s weight control program would have been set back for months. All in all riaples, Italy was a short lived, but enjoyable time for all, and well worth the expended effort by the creiv to go there. Article by: ET3 Reihl RIO de JAHEIRO, BRAZIL bearing the end of our deployment nith the most difficult part behind us. the CALIFORniA had a port stop in RIO. With its beautiful tropical beaches, hotels, and lush boutiques, it can well be considered the Waihihi of Brazil. CALirORniA spent a total of nine days in RIO. Four days which were originally scheduled, and five unscheduled days in which to effect re- pairs to the ship. During our stay, the crew enjoyed tours to Mount Corcovado, the site of the world ' s largest statue of Jesus Christ and to Mount Sugar Loaf both commanding spectacular views of all of RIO. Dotted along the beaches of Copacabana and Ipa- nema. were numerous boutiques, shops, and art galleries in which many cre v members spent time browsing, buying gifts, and appreciating the ancient cultures of this magical land. night life in RIO de JAriEIRO was. by far, the best of any port we visited during the World Cruise. With its many night clubs, called cabaretes, and crystal clear nights, it was easy to relax and enjoy our liberty. For the most part the crew was disappointed when we were de- layed in returning home and had to spend the extra time in RIO to effect repairs, but there was no better place in which to be delayed.
