Built by the Bethlehem Steel Company of San Pedro, Calif., her keel was laid on 21 February 1943, and she was placed in commission on 27 November 1943. Commander F.J. Johnson, USN, assumed the first command. After a post-shakedown availability, she left the United States on 5 February 1944 for Pearl Harbor. Operating out of Pearl Harbor until 28 February, she steamed to Kwajalein and Majuro to join Task Group 50.15. On 30 March and 1 April air strikes were launched from escort carriers of the Task Group while CALLAGHAN and other destroyers screened the carriers from submarine attack. At the end of April, the ship departed for Pearl Harbor, escorting tankers returning to the United States for replenishment. On 30 May 1944 she got underway for the Marshall Islands. On 11 June she sortied from Eniwetok screening the escort carriers MIDWAY, WHITE PLAINS, and KALININ BAY as they operated east of Saipan in support of the landings there. CALLAGHAN rendezvoused with Task Group 58.4 on 5 August to protect the carriers who were providing air support for the fighting on Guam. On 29 August the destroyer was again steaming with the carriers as they ranged off Palau, Mindanao, Luzon and the Central Philippines striking at the Japanese. After sweeps over the Philippines in support of the landings on Leyte, the group raced to get in position to launch a dawn attack against units of the Japanese fleet menacing the invasion forces from the north. Task Group 38.3 sortied again on 1 November enroute to Manus but was rerouted to the Philippines because of increasing enemy naval and air activity. She was back at Ulithi by Christmas Eve and spent Christmas Day in dry dock. In late December and January CALLAGHAN participated in strikes against Formosa, Luzon, Camranh Bay, Saigon, the south China coast and Hong Kong before sailing to Iwo Jima to participate in the landings there. After Iwo Jima she provided support for the landings at Okinawa. CALLAGHAN continued operating off Okinawa on fire support and screening assignments until taking a radar picket station on 9 July 1945. Just after midnight on the morning of 29 July, General Quarters rang through the ship as a lone plane was detected approaching the patrol group. The Japanese, piloting an antiquated biplane, dived on CALLAGHAN and was driven off by heavy anti- aircraft fire. He came back, skimming the water unobserved until just before he reached the destroyer. He hit CALLAGHAN on the starboard side sending up a towering 150 foot sheet of flame from the after section of the ship. A bomb that had penetrated to the after engine room exploded with devastating effect blowing holes in the hull causing serious flooding. Ten minutes later Commander Bertholf ordered CALLAGHAN aban- doned. CALLAGHAN sank stern first at 0235, bringing to a violent end the career of a proud fighting ship. The First CALLAGHAN 16 USS Callaghan The Second CALLAGHAN 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 specifications 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 manned by fewer men than her predecessor, 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 recom- missioned battleship USS NEW JERSEY (BB 62), rescue of 287 refugees off the coast of Southeast Asia, and search and rescue operations 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 deployed to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans with the USS CONSTELLATION (CV 64) Battle Group. While on deployment, the ship received notification of the overall Battle Efficiency ”E Award for Destroyer Squadron SEVENTEEN as well as earning all nine departmental awards for which eligible, thus completing a “clean sweep,” for the competitive period of 1 June 1983 through 31 December 1984. A short time later, CALLAGHAN was awarded the Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet Anti-Surface Warfare Award, for her profi- ciency in “training readiness, operations con- ducted, tactical initiatives, equipment reliability and performance within this highly important warfare area.” During deployment, CALLAGHAN spent 108 days underway in the Indian Ocean, providing a deterring presence in addition to Battle Group protection against threats from the air, surface and sub-surface. CALLAGHAN visited the ports of Subic Bay, Singapore, Diego Garcia, and Bunbury, Australia. CALLAGHAN’S embarked helicopter detachment from HSL-33 flew 629 hours and made 632 landings during the six-month deployment. Following a three-month series of preparatory exercises, CALLAGHAN left San Diego on 5 January 1987 for a six-month world cruise. This cruisebook is about that six-month adventure. CALLAGHAN continues to strive for perfection in 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, “CALLAGHAN CLASS.

Commanding Officer Commander Sutton hails from Brunswick, Geor- gia. Following graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1970, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Immediate Graduate Education Program, completing a Master of Science Degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. His first sea tour was aboard USS JONAS INGRAM (DD 938) where he served as Anti- Submarine Warfare Officer and collaterally as Squadron ASW Officer. During this tour he participated in numerous Caribbean and special operations and deployed to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. After attending the Destroyer Department Head Course in Newport, Rhode Island, he was assigned as Weapons Officer and was Senior Watch Officer aboard the Mayport, Florida homeported frigate USS PAUL (FF 1080). While in PAUL, he partic- ipated in two Northern European NATO exercises and again deployed to the Mediterranean. In 1977, under the Department Head split-tour program, he transferred to USS SURIBACHI (AE 21), home- ported in Earle, New Jersey, and served as Operations Officer and Navigator through two additional Mediterranean deployments. An abbreviated tour ashore followed, teaching Naval Systems Engineering at the Naval Academy. Upon the short notice acquisition of the four warships under construction for the Shah of Iran, Commander Sutton was selected to be the commissioning Executive Officer of the USS KIDD (DDG 993), the lead ship of the class and sister ship to CALLAGHAN. Serving as Officer in Charge of the KIDD pre-commissioning unit in Norfolk, Virginia, he was responsible for the development of the baseline training and organization for the ship class. Following commissioning in Pasca- goula, Mississippi, he participated in shock-testing and all the initial trials associated with the lead ship. He served in this billet until November 1982, when he was appointed to a two-year tour as Naval Aide to the President of the United States. Among his decorations are the Defense Superior Service Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, Navy Achievement Medal, Meritorious Unit Commenda- tion, Battle E Ribbon, National Defense Medal, and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. He is married to Commander Elizabeth B. Sutton who is currently the Commanding Officer, Person- nel Support Activity, Naval Training Center, San Diego. Commander Sutton assumed command of CAL- LAGHAN on 9 January 1986. Commanding Officer 21 Executive Officer LCDR Ronald Stephen Cooper, USN LCDR Cooper is originally from Phoenix, Arizona and graduated from Arizona State University in 1972. He received his commission through Officer Candidate School in 1973. His first sea tour was as a member of the pre-commissioning crew of USS TARAWA (LHA 1) homeported in San Diego, where he served as Signals Officer and Assistant Communications Officer. His next assignment was onboard USS ENGLAND (CG 22) where he served as Missile Officer participating in two Western Pacific deployments. After attending the Destroyer Department Head Course in Newport, Rhode Island, he was assigned as Operations Officer aboard USS OLDENDORF (DD 972). While on OLDENDORF he made a South Pacific cruise participating in numerous exercises with our New Zealand and Australian allies and a Western Pacific deployment. His follow-on Department Head split-tour assignment was USS GRIDLEY (CG 21) where he served as Weapons Control Officer. During his tour the ship went through a year long overhaul at Long Beach Naval Shipyard and received an extensive combat systems upgrade. His next assignment was at COMNAVSURFPAC where he served as the Anti-Surface Warfare Officer. Responsible for various ASUW projects, he was involved in the Pacific Fleet introduction of TOM AHAWK, and the advanced Harpoon Weapons Systems. Among his decorations are two Navy Commen- dation Medals, Navy Expeditionary Medal, Battle “E” Ribbon and the National Defense Medal. He is married to Betty Cooper and they have two children, Summer and Amber, and they currently reside in Lakeside, Calif. 22 Executive Officer The Wardroom The wardroom of USS CALLAGHAN is an impressive one indeed. Comprised of officers representing various educational and geographical backgrounds, it has built up one of the strongest reputations among the ships of the Pacific Fleet for carrying out its many crucial missions in accordance with CALLAGHAN’S motto “Intrepidity.” It is this dedication to success, well-coordinated teamwork and leadership skills displayed by the officers which have had high-ranking officials calling upon the CALLAGHAN to perform many difficult tasks. This was never more evident than during our 1987 World Cruise when CALLAGHAN executed a number of sensitive, real world missions.

Additionally, they often bridge the gap between the wardroom and the enlisted crew. Their knowledge and years of experience are often relied upon by division officers and the men. Faced with an obstacle, they know it is always worthwhile to “ask the chief. Chief Petty Officers 25 OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT LCDR Francis S. Fogarty Operations Officer 26 Operations Department LTJG John B. Nowell Communications Officer OC Division Virtually every aspect of CALLAGHAN’S many missions is guided by our Radiomen and Signalmen. A KIDD class destroyer such as CALLAGHAN brings to bear some of the most sophisticated communications capabilities ever to go to sea at any time in any Navy. Used along with all of the computers and microchip technology are some communications skills that are as old as men and ships themselves. This well-coordinated mixture of high-tech equipment, signal flags and flashing lights blend together to function as a highly effective communications system and is one more symbol of the teamwork so evident aboard CALLAGHAN.

Ocampo S-2 Division S-2 Division Mess Specialists (MSs) kept the crew of CALLAGHAN well-fed three times a day (plus Midrats) for the entire six month World Cruise. In addition to laboring long hours in the galley preparing breakfasts, lunches, dinners, pastries, and cakes for special occasions, the MS’s services were also rendered at each of our “CALLAGHAN CLASS COOKOUTS.” MS2 Richard L Vasquez S-2 Division 79 SN Phillip T.

The outstanding support and service that they provided during the World Cruise made all our lives a little more bearable. 82 S-2 Division ENS Marc A. Doss S-4 Division S-4 Division’s Disbursing Clerks (DKs) are probably the most widely-known and respected crew members onboard (at least every 1st and 15th of each month). The DKs are CALLAGHAN'S Bankers with the additional responsibility of keeping each crew member's Leave and Earning Statement (LES) correct and up-to-date; no small task. .NA Vita A I luN DEPARTMENT LT Glenn R. Sears Navigator HMC Warren D. Smith QMC Gerald E. Sprague The Navigation or Executive Department is made up of a variety of ratings. The Quartermasters are responsible for the safe navigation of the ship, and the Corpsmen ensure our health and well-being and always have one more shot” for each of us. The Yeomen and Personnelmen operate our ship’s office, maintain our records, and are responsible for the myriad of administrative details required to operate CALLAGHAN. Our Career Counselor assists in orders, SRBs, and a variety of welfare and morale issues, and our dedicated Postal Clerks make sure our letters to home arrive there promptly. The Command Master Chief and our Master-at-Arms Chief (The Sheriff) round out this versatile group. 84 Navigation Department QM1 Jesse Camacho QM2 David F. Clare QMSN Robert J. Coe QM3 Robert H.

Each crew member had the chance to savor two beers during one of our fantail cookouts. After 45 days of “bug juice” a beer never tasted better. Crossing the Line Subic Bay, Philippines Although we had little time here, we were able to refresh ourselves with some liberty. This was a stop to fill up on stores needed to continue our around-the-world travels. The naval base had many places to relax ... golf course, movie theatre, numerous clubs, gift and hobby shops. Outside the confines of the naval station, friendly people showed their hospitality toward the crew. For some of our shipmates, this was a quick stop to see family and friends in their native land, while for others this was a stop to call the United States to let the family know things were all right. 28 - 30 Jan 106 Subic Bay Diego Garcia Diego Garcia was a pleasant rest from our underway watches and activities in the Gulf of Oman. Numerous sporting events. CALLAGHAN Class cookouts and other island activities helped to pass the time here. The things most remembered from Diego Garcia are the water sports, the Stars and Stripes Bookstore (to keep up with the news) and especially the phone exchange. 108 Diego Garcia 26 March - 21 April orrmasa, Kenya After numerous days of operations in the Indian Ocean, Beer Day, fantail cookouts, Crossing the Line ceremonies and Diego Garcia, the long awaited liberty port of Mombasa was finally a reality. For the majority of the crew, Africa was only a place they had read about in books or seen in the movies. Mombasa is the port city for Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. From this point many went on safaris to areas throughout Kenya such as Tsavo National Park at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, or to the Serengeti Plain. Many others went to the luxury hotels, a popular European vacation spot, to relax and enjoy the Kenyan hospitality. Mombasa offered the crew exotic souvenirs ranging from wood carvings to precious gems and left the crew with many memories of the Dark Continent. 110 Mombasa 28 April - 6 May Mombasa 111 Mombasa 113 s - Suez Canal CALLAGHAN and Battle Group Bravo transited the 105 mile Suez Canal on 17 May, completing the voyage from the Red Sea to the Mediterra- nean in just 16 hours. The transit was rich with history as bullet marked buildings and the hulks of tanks alongside the canal brought to mind the Arab-lsraeli battles that raged on the canal’s banks in 1967 and 1973. Palma De Mallorca, Spain Spanish hospitality, beautiful beaches, a thirteenth century Gothic cathedral, wild night life and the warm Mediterranean Sea were only some of the pleasures afforded the crew during CALLAGHAN’S only Mediterranean liberty port. Whether strolling down the narrow European streets or relaxing in the sun, this taste of Europe was one of the highlights of World Cruise ’87. 116 Palma De Mallorca 22 - 27 May I 118 mm Palma De Mallorca 119 — St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands Our last stop before returning to San Diego. Here we anchored off the shore of this beautiful Caribbean island. This meant liberty launches but once ashore the scenery and shopping were indeed worth it. Some relaxed in the sun, went scuba diving or sailing while others did their last chance shopping tax free. Once we departed St. Thomas, we transitted the Panama Canal and sailed up the western coast of Mexico toward San Diego. 10 - 14 June St. Thomas 121 tatae r Panama Canal On 19 June we had the opportunity to transit one of the world’s busiest waterways, the Panama Canal. The 50 mile long canal winds its way through the scenic jungles and highlands of Panama as it links the Atlantic with the Pacific Oceans. The canal's system of locks were a mechanical marvel as they raised and lowered the ship so it could transit Gatun Lake, a large freshwater lake comprising the center of the canal. Just as impressive were the small locomotives that pulled the ship through the locks. The Pacific Ocean was a heartening sight as we pulled out of the canal. 124 Panama Canal ) Home at Last After 173 days away from San Diego we returned home on 27 June to missed loved ones and friends. Hardly anyone onboard slept the night before entering port as Channel Fever affected the crew. Movies were shown all night to help pass the time and ease the anxiety. When at last the ship pulled up to Pier 8, we were greeted by a Navy band, family, friends and banners welcoming us home. Of all the sights we had seen on our world cruise, the best one of all was seeing our loved ones on that pier. 9S - 'Vc. : MB Cruisebook Staff Editor-in-Chief: LT Batzler Copy and Layout Editor: ENS Reeser Photography Editor: LTJG Felzien Photographer: OSI Howard Contributors: LT Pangborn LTJG Delgado ENS Randall ENS Kozloski NCI Woods OSC Hafertepe GMM1 Clevenger HT3 Manriquez GMM2 Zlotkowski PNSN Retzlaff GSE2 Clemmer This cruisebook is the product of many hours of work on the part of photographers, writers, and other volunteers to record the events of our unique deployment.
