For ten years, Ccr i orn a, the sixth '  hlp to bear the name, steamed the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea from Norfolk. Virginia, ser ing three times with the Sixth Fleet and twice with the Seventh Fleet. In the summer of 1977, California represented the lUnited States Surface Fleet at the Silver Jubilee Naval Review in Portsmouth, England. More than 150 warships from 18 nations participated in this commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth ' s coronation. Two years later, follow ing seizure of the U. S. Embassy in lran,CaUfornia , with VSSMmitz (CVN 68) and VSSTexas ( CGN 39 ), interrupted a routine Mediterranean cruise to steam from Livorno, Italy . to the southern coast of Iran in the North Arabian Sea. The all-nuclear task group completed the 12,000- mile transit in only eighteen days, remained on station in the Indian Ocean for the next five months, and eventually returned to Norfolk from the 80,000-mile, nine month deployment in May of 1980. The following year, California completed her second Indian Ocean cruise, returning to Norfolk via the Panama Canal to become the first nuclear-powered surface ship to circumnavi- gate the globe since the VSSEnterpriseTask Force completed Operation Sea Orbit in 1964. In September 1983, the Golden Grizzly left Norfolk for the last time, steaming through the Panama Canal to her new homeport. Naval Air Station Alameda, California. California embarked on her first Western Pacific Indian Ocean Cruise in February 1985 as a member of the VSSConstellation (CV 64) Battle Group. During the spring of 1986,Ca r br  aconducted several weeks of Bering Sea operations and became the first cruiser to visit Adak, Alaska, since World War II. She completed her second WESTP AC as well as her second Around the World ' ' cruise in 1987. The year 1988 brought continued high tempo operations asCalifornia cruised the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans for a third time serving as Battle Group Anti-Surface Warfare Commander during RIMPAC 1 988 as well as Battle Force Anti- Surface Warfare Commander for Olympic Presence Operations off the Korean Peninsula. Subsequently.during her 1988-1989 deployment.Caft oA-nta assumed duties as Anti- Air Warfare Commander for the Battle Group during operations in the North Arabian Sea and Arabian Gulf. While assigned to Strait of Hormuz patrol duties in December l9S ,California conducted the last USN EARNEST WILL convoy mission through that strait California has recently completed her Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. Washington. THis RCOH began in April 1990 and has providedCa i orHw with two high endurance D2W reactor cores for her power plants and the revolutionary New Threat Upgrade Combat Systems Suite which makes her the most capable Anti-Air Warfare platform of her type in the World. California will continue to operate out of her new home port in Bremerton. Washington. In June, 1994. California joined the USS Kitty Hawk Battle Group in the Western Pacific for the ship ' s first deploy- ment in five years. California exchanged personnel with the Republic of Korea Navy for a combined exercise and with the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force for ANNUALEX 06G and KEEN EDGE 95. She also took part in a LINKEX with United States forces in and near Korea, accomplishing the most exten- sive tactical data link ever established in this region. The deployment wrapped up with participation ui TANDEM THRUST 95, a joint exercise with the armed forces of the United States and several allied nations. California then returned to her home at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard just before Christmas 1994. KITTY HAWK ttu group irojection of force worldwide is one of the most important ways that the United States ensures world peace is kept. These are the ships of the Kitty Hawk Battle Group that the California met and operated with during WESTPAC 1994. TOP TO BOTTOM: USS Cowpens (CG 63).

Engineering is responsible for the operation, maintenance and upkeep of California ' s two steam-driven propulsion plants, two D2W reactors, damage control and repairs which are beyond the capacity of the personnel or equipment of other departments. Overall, engineering is a department that can be proud of its contributions to the ship and its accomplishments. The department performed exceptionally throughout the deployment by continually keeping the California steaming and ready to meet any mission called upon. In addition, the department showed its professionalism through its outstanding perfor- mances during predeployment work-ups such as TSTA (Tai- lored Ship ' s Training Availability), PEP (Final Evaluated Period) and ORSE (Operational Reactors Safeguards Examina- tion) for which California received the highest grade to be given to a Pacific Fleet cruiser in nearly eight years. f V LCDR Bradley Olds ENGINEER OFFICER LT Dillman Damage Control Assistant LT Keough Auxiliaries Officer LT Engdahl LT Anderson Damage Control Assistant Mechanical Technical Assistant r LT Tonachel Electrical Officer LT Jablonsky Main Propulsion Assistant L X w o il LT Eckardt Chein Radcon Assistant LT Marchwinski Reactor Training Assistant ivision Ltjg Briiley MMCS(SW) Summers MMKSW) Walz ENCS(SW) Cooler HNQSW) Jackson m MM2 Griswell LJiesel Dogs: Work center EA02 personnel are the Diesel Engine Specialists. They operate two lOOOKW Fairbanks-Morse diesel engines to support propulsion plant evolutions and maintain 5 small boat engines as well. These users of JP-5 also complete California ' s helicopter refueling team not only on deck but also in the pump rooms where they operate the refueling equipment. These engineers are a volatile bunch. tleat Misers: Work center EA04 supplies hotel service steam and hot water with the reboiler system. Maintaining all water heaters, convection and preheaters, 119 steam solenoids and the reboiler would make life busy for most. However, these guys maintain and operate the steering system, anchor windlass, capstan, sliding padeye. kingposts and a vast assortment of galley and laundry equipment. From the bow to the stem, these gluttons for punishment are a very visible force. Ihe Ice Men: Work Center EA()5 prefers thnigs cold. They are the air conditioning and refrigeration specialists who maintain and operate not only the ship ' s four 150 ton air conditioning plants and two 3 ton refrigeration plants, but also 6 ice machines, 20 reach-in reefer units and 4 low pressure air dehydrators. With EPA certitications in hand these eccentric mechanics keep the food fresh, ice constant and combat systems equipment from burning up. For them the ice age never ended.

Some of these ships included merchant cargo vessels, commercial fishing vessels, private vessels, and ships of other navies. As a military leader in the world, the job of the United States Navy is to ensure sea lanes remain free of piracy and are continually open for trade between the world ' s nations. Upon occasion, the Califoniia encountered situations where our mission was unclear, but more often than not our goals were focused on friendly operations. During the past six months Califomia conducted exercises with the South Koreans, Japanese, and Australian Navies in order to strengthen her operational readiness to attend to conflict and provide safety as governed by her duties. In port and out to sea these different navies were allowed to cooperate and participate in a cultural as well as military exchange, thus strengthening our alliances on a global scale. All in all, Califomia played a major role on the world stage by continuing the proud Naval traditions of maintaining peace around the globe. TOP: New Zealand Kiwi PS crew.

WESTPAC ' 94 was a challenge to each and every one of these men both as individuals, and as a team. The day to day rigors of keeping up the engineroom, sometimes in overbearing heat, coupled with numerous equipment casualties kept these men busy down in the plant they called home for the last six months. With divine leadership and a flare for detail, they get the job done, and done right! The M-2 mechanics learned a lot on this WESTPAC. ..about their ship. ..themselves. ..and their shipmates.

Two of the visits were liber ty ports while the other two provided California with needed Intermediate Maintenance Availabilities (IMAV). While in Yokosuka, sailors took the opportunity to experience Japanese culture by visiting cities such as Yokohama and Tokyo. Some crewmembers opted for the busy city life while others turned to the more peaceful and serene settings of the many beautiful teinples and shrines. In addition to experiencing Japanese culture, sailors could take advantage of the excellent facilities provided by the U. S. Naval base located there. Many sailors enjoyed relaxing nights at the movies while others participated in the ship-wide Softball tourna- ment. All in all.

California sailors received their first view of the impressive architecture and difTerent types of water transporta- tion during the liberty boat ride to the fleet landing pier. Upon arriving at Fleet Landing, sailors explored Hong Kong and neighbor- ing Kowloon by bus, taxi, subway, or ferry. Compared toCalifoniia ' s other port calls. Hong Kong w as definitely a buyers market. Sailors bought items such as clothes, tailored suits, computer hardware, and cameras. Hong Kong offered something to do for e veryone, such as shopping and enjoying the nightlife of an exciting city, taking in the view at Victoria Peak, or sightseeing and experiencing some of the older cultures in the outlay- ing suburbs. Both visits gave California crew members exciting opportunities to interact with the community. During our visits, sailors participated In community relations projects and while visiting over Thanksgiving, sailors were invited to the homes of U.S. citizens living in Hong Kong and treated to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

The following day, California provided a tour to 120 fifth grade students from the Singapore American School. In addition to hosting guests onboard theCalifornia, crew members were given the opportunity to be visitors onboard other vessels as well. Several crew members from California visited Korean, Japanese and Australian ships while sailors from their ship visited the California. This exercise was conducted with ships from our own battle group as well as with other countries such as Japan, Korea and Australia. These visits provided theCalifornia a chance to teach guests about the operations of a nuclear cruiser as well as the United States Navy, while at the same time learning about other navies and cultures from visitors onboard the California.

Singapore was the first port whereCalifoniia met up with the Australian frigate HMASMelbounie (FFG 05 ). with w hom theCalifoniia would conduct exercises later in the deployment. In addition to California sailors experiencing the people and cultures of Singapore, we were able to return the favor by showing off our ship to the U.S. Ambassador of Singapore, the Honorable Timothy Chorba, the Chilean Ambassador, the Honorable Carlos Tudela, as well as a local cub scout troop. The next day, we welcomed 120 fifth grade students from the Singapore American School for a tour of the ship.

After the defeat of Japan, the United States took over the Ryukus including Okinawa. Okinawa and the southern Ryukus were returned to Japan in 1972.

The island is famous for having the best diving waters in the world. However, many of our ship- mates were more concerned with making a run for the border! for the local Taco Bell. The short visit was enjoyed by most, but the minds of many were focused on setting sail for Hawaii, the final stop before heading home. BELOW: Manning the rails while entering port in Guam. U2 DC y p 1 he Damage Control ( DC ) Olympics pitted California ' s three repair lockers against each other in a spirited competition. The events included a pipe patching event, exothermic cutting torch competition, fireman ' s carry relay race. P-250 fire pump operation, stretcher bearer carry, and hose handling competition.. The competition showed the skill and ingenuity of many crewmembers. such as MM2 Haggerty ' s use of non-traditional methods during the pipe patching competition, and DC2 Foltz ' s determination to get his exothemiic cutting torch lit by igniting it off his competitions torch. The P-25() fire pump showed who was boss by giving ail three repair lockers a hard time starting or not continuing to run once started. The wettest event of the day was the hose handling contest during which repair lockers battled it out trying to slide a barrel along a wire to the other team ' s side of the line. The most abused person of the day was Rescue Randy , a weighted dummy. He was hauled up and down ladders, around corners, through passageways, and finally laid to rest on the flight deck. A few minutes later, durin the fireman ' s carry relay competition, he was thrown over a firefights shoulder, lugged 100 feet, and dropped to be picked up by the next guy. The best example of a clear cut victory went to Repair 5 during the exothermic cutting torch competition when MM 1 Clark and MM Falkowski both cut their steel plate and pipe before Repair 2 or 3 ha even finished half of their first plate. In the end it was Repair 3, under the leadership of MMC(S ) Holmes, who lead when the competition was cut short by flight quarters. They were declared DC Olyinpic winners for the second consecutive year. Sailors then helped clear the flight deck of tools and equipment while the rest went to get ready for the incoming helicopter, putting an end to yet another exciting day of DC training RIGHT : Repair Lock- ers 2 and 3 fighting it out in the hose handling contest.

This is accomplished through her sophisiticated weapons and fire control systems. When California goes to gun quarters , all of her weapons stations are manned by their respective crew members and made ready to fire on command. California ' ?, complement of weapons includes an array of missiles and projectile weapons. The missile defense is made up of the TARTAR Weapon System, which consists of the medium range SM- 1 and SM-2 Surface-to- Air (SAM) missiles and the HARPOON Weapon System, which consists of the HARPOON RGM-84D short to medium range anti-ship cruise missile. In addition, California is equipped with two 5 54 caliber guns, two 20mm CIWS Phalanx cannons, four .50 caliber M2 machine gun mounts, four Mk 32 Torpedo tubes capable of firing Mk 46 mod 5 torpedoes, and a newly installed 25mm chain gun. California ' s gun support makes a formidable force within the United States Navy, whether she ' s part of a battle group, or conducting operations on her own. TOP: Not on my watch!

The quick two day layover was just long enough to stock up on some supplies and get some work done. Most importantly, nearly 70 relatives and friends of crewmembers joined the California on her eight day Tiger Cruise home. Moored to the pier just a few hundred yards from the Arizona Memorial, the California was greeted by cool, sunny skies that allowed a great opportunity for the crew to get out and enjoy themselves sightseeing, shopping, visiting friends and families, or just hanging out on the strip. Even though the weather was great and many would have liked to stay, the minds of most were on the upcoming journey home, a Tiger Cruise taking the Califor- nia where she belongs-home. Choppy seas, sunny skies pulling inro Pearl Harbor. A bird ' s eye view of the strip. 148 PEARL Rendering honors to the Arizona. Why you guys smiUn ' ?

To each it represents many things: family, friends, loved ones, peace and content, and that feeling you get inside knowing you ' ve returned to that place where you belong. Home reunites us with things we cherish like wives, girl- friends, cars, hangouts, and even our own beds. These are the memories that kept us going for the past 1 80 days, that gave us the strength to do our jobs and return safely to the ones we love. For surely, as everyone well knows, There is no place like home. TOP: The Space Needle was definitely a sight for sore eyes. One hour from home!

From the pre-deployment planning phase and contract negotiations, organizing the individual portraits for the entire crew, to the final submission of completed pages, the staff devoted many hours of their own free time producing write-ups, selecting pictures, and organizing lay-outs. The cruise book staff was led by Ltjg Miller. California Public Affairs Officer, Chaplain Marshall, DKC( S W ) Hartmann, MMC( S W ) Holmes and OS3 Svoboda. In the end, the cruise book was well worth the effort put into it. Whether the memories it brings are good or bad, the cruise book has served it ' s purpose-it has recorded a six-month period in every sailor ' s life that they can be proud of by reminding them of the sacrifices they made to serve their country.
