It also represents the modern technology of the new CALLAGHAN honored by that name. The chief simulates the Golden Gate Bridge, symbolizing San Francisco, California. Admiral Callaghan's place of birth The trident connotes his naval career and the two lightning flashes for his service in World War I and in World War II. The single star represents the Medal of Honor for his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity” in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II The trident with the arcs and the lightning flashes also allude to the mission and capabilities of the CALLAGHAN Crest The Crest heraldically speaks” the name Cal- laghan. The wolf is suggested by the Callaghan Coat of Arms, and the shamrock symbolizes Ire- land. The two stars connote the rank of Rear Admi- ral Callaghan, they are conjoined to indicate that this is the second ship to bear the name CALLAGHAN Motto The ship's Motto is the word Intrepidity Taken from Rear Admiral Callaghan s Medal of Honor citation, the Motto serves as inspiration to all who serve aboard CALLAGHAN to be brave and cour- ageous not only in battle, but also in their daily lives. 4 THE CALLAGHAN LEGACY USS CALLAGHAN (DDG 994) is the second KIDD class Guided Missile Destroyer and the second ship of the fleet to bear the name Her namesake. Rear Admiral Daniel Judson CALLAGHAN, U S Navy (Deceased), was born in San Fran- cisco. California, in 1890. and was a true native He began his career on the USS CALIFORNIA (ARC-6), spent the better part of his career m or near his hometown, commanded the USS SAN FRANCISCO (CA-38), and. upon reaching flag rank in 1942. hoisted his flag in the same ship he had previously commanded While leading a force of U S ships against a far superior Japanese force during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Rear Admiral CALLAGHAN was killed in action on November 13. 1942. when a direct hit was scored on the bridge of his flagship Rear Admiral CALLAGHAN was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, his nation's highest tribute Shortly thereafter, on November 27. 1943. the first USS CALLAGHAN (DD-772). a FLETCHER class destroyer, was com- missioned Her short but exciting life led her through submarine attack, air attacks, escort duty, search and rescue missions, and typhoons The ship finally met her fate in the early morning hours of November 29. 1945. when a kamikaze crashed amid- ships. less than ninety minutes before the ship was scheduled to head for home Today s USS CALLAGHAN (DDG 994) is even more capable than her predecessor She is designed to meet and defeat threats from the air. other ships, or submarines with the newest --------------------------------------------------------------------- combat systems in the fleet Originally designed to specifica- tions for sale to the Iranian Navy. CALLAGHAN is a combination of the VIRGINIA class cruiser s combat systems suite and the SPRUANCE class destroyer's quiet, responsive propulsion plant The degree of automation throughout the ship permits CALLAGHAN to be managed by fewer men than her predeces- sor. although she is nearly 200 feet longer and over four times the displacement In the few years since her commissioning, CALLAGHAN has proven her name and earned an enviable reputation Her maiden deployment, in 1983. included escort duty with the newly recommissioned battleship USS NEW JERSEY (BB 62). rescue of 287 refugees off of the coast of Southeast Asia, and search and rescue opeations for Korean Air Lines flight 007 She conducted a number of international joint exercises and served as a member of USS MIDWAY s Battle Group CAL- LAGHAN was awarded the Humanitarian Service Medal for the rescue of the refugees and the Meritorious Unit Commendation for her actions in the KAL 007 operations In February 1985. CALLAGHAN began her second Western Pacific Deployment as a member of the USS CONSTELLATION Battle Group CALLAGHAN continued to strive for perfection m all areas of her mission She is a highly survivable platform with a superbly skilled crew Every man aboard strives to do his best to live up to the ship's slogan.

Rempt delivers an exhilarating speech “In each ship there is one man who. in the hour of emergency or peril at sea can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfire and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship!

Like their counterparts on con- ventional ships, the gas-turbine specialists on the CALLAGHAN must deal with gears, grease, springs, and other paraphernalia associated with mechanics, but unlike the engineers on other classes of ships, they are just as likely to be working with one of the hundreds of computer circuits which control the ship's auto- mated propulsion plant. MP Division has some of the most talented technicians in the Navy, who specialize in such areas as gas-turbines, electronics, and fuel chemistry The ability of CALLAGHAN to be ready and able to go anywhere anytime is a'direct result of the closely knit team-within-the-team that is MP Division! 1 ENS Mike Osborne MP Division Officer ENS John Nowell MP Division Officer Repair Division (Front) Senior Chief Cadena, HT2 Teasdale, LTJG Brigham; (Second row) HT3 Goebel, HT3 Cowin, HTFN Manriquez, HT2 Clardy, HTFN Ivey, FN Pharris; (Third row) FN Holland, HT2 Bell, HT2 Levy, HT2 Priddy, HTFN McLean, HTFN Tew.
