SH P,S HISTOR The ship was originally built by Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Sparrows Point Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland for the U. S. Maritime Commission, but before completion was converted into a U. S. Navy Fleet Oiler, AO-22 class. The keel was laid in November 1944 and the ship was launched on 2 june 1945. The ship was named after the CALOOSAHA TCHEE River which runs from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of Fort Meyers, Florida. The ship was placed in commission in the Navy on 10 October 1945 and has been on continuous duty in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Mediterranean areas since that time until 8 May 1968. On 8 May 1968. CALOOSAHA TCHEE returned to Bethlehem Steel Corpora- tion at the Key Highway Shipyard, Baltimore, Maryland, where she was delivered to the custody of the Commandant FIFTH Naval District and the Supervisor of Shipbuilding for conversion and modernization. CALOOSAHA TCHEE was recom- missioned as a multi-Commodity replenishment ship on 27 September 1969 and assigned to Service Squadron TWO, Homeported in Newport, Rhode Island. Since rejoining the active fleet, CALOOSAHA TCHEE has established an en- viable performance record for excellence. In December 1969, she was awarded the highest Operational Readiness Inspection grade assigned by Commander Training Command, U. S. Atlantic Fleet during calendar year 1969. She supported units of the SIXTH FLEET from September 1970 to February 1971. During 1971 CALOOSAHA TCHEE operated with the SECOND FLEET and completed a four month Restricted Availability in Boston Naval Shipyard. She completed Modified Refresher Training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on 10 December 1971 with a higher grade than any other oiler during 1971. CALOOSAHATCHEE was awarded the Battle Efficiency the Engineering Excellence E , and the Meritorious Unit Commendation during 1971. In July 1972 the CALOOSAHATCHEE was awarded her second consecutive Battle Efficiency E , and Engineering Excellence While in the Mediterranean, she also received two fuel consumption awards. The shiprecently received a third consecutive Engineering Excellence HE .

ANDRES DEPARTMENT HEAD Operations Department is responsible for coordination of a broad range of shipboard activities. The Operations team makes up the heart of the commands control functions. The Radiomen maintain our only contact With' land and Navy high command once the ship is underway. Signalmen provide the vital service of silent communications between ships. The Operation Specialists keep the ship's operating publications up to date and are the modern day shipboard Paul Revere keeping us forewarned of unforeseen dangers. The Electronic Technicians keep our electron equipment in top notch condition. The Quarter- masters keep track of the ship's position, ensuring that it remains at all times in safe navigable Waters. The administration section made up of Yeoman, Per- sonnelmen, and Postal Clerks tend to the orderly flow of correspondence and make the necessary arrangements to receive those love letters from home. Last but certainly not least, the Hospital Corpman insure that We remain free from and protected against disease. As a part of the CALOOSAHATCHEE team We do our share to make CALOOSAHA TCHEE the most reliable and effective unit of the Fleet support forces. ENS S. W. WHELAN I EN:iS R. E.

The ship's auxiliary equip- ment and the ship's damage control gear. In addition, the department makes- minor repairs to the hull and structural features on board. Sound like a big order? It is! LCDR SUPERSANO, the Chief Engineer, is assisted by LTJ G BARRON, LTJG KAPLAN, ENS GABLE, and ENS POMEROY in carrying out this work load. LT SPENCE, the previous Engineering Officer, retired from the Navy in mid October. . Engineers provide the power to get where We're going, to make water, heat, and electricity on the way, as Well as ensuring that We have steam to cook with, and reefers to store the food in. Once we've arrived, engineers again play a big roll by keeping the Winches running and the fuel flowing. On this cruise, the Engineering Department took part in several damage control drills to hopefully help earn a fourth Red Engineering E - for Excellence in performance and readiness, Red E or not, the CALOOSAHA TCHEE engineers are proud of the role they play in keeping AO 98 ffl all the way. - -I LCDR R.T.

The underway replenishment procedures are many and varied. However, two basic methods of underway replenishment have evolved and are in standard use within our fleets - alongside and vertical. Alongside replenishment demands the finest skill in ship handling and control, as ships displacing tens of thousands of tons steam alongside one another, often less than 100 feet apart. In this evolution, Navy Special Fuel Oil QNSFOD, Navy Distillate, and Diesel fuel for ships propulsion machinery, JP-5 jet fuel or avgas for carrier aircraft and other petroleum products are transferred between the CALOOSAHA TCHEE and customer ships. As ship and aircraft engines need fuels to run, the personnel manning them need food to sur- vive. The CALOOSAHA TCHEE supply customer ships with frozen, chill and dry provisions, enough to sus- tain an entire ship indefinately. And finally, the necessary munitions to give teeth to our combatant forces at sea, the bombs, projectiles, rockets, torpedoes and missiles required for war readiness. The CALOOSAHA TCHEE carrys up to 2,400 tons of munitions, ready to rearm our combatant ships whenever the need arises. The other method of re-supply at sea, one which has evolved in recent years, is called vertical replenish- ment. The advantages of this method are apparent to the experienced Navyman. By using helicopters,vir- tually all commodities other than bulk petroleum products can be readily transferred between widely dispers- ed ships, reducing restrictive and vulnerable alongside time. Both alongside and vertical replenishments are conducted simultaneously, providing the fastest, most efficient re-supply of our operating forces at sea.

However, the Mid East crisis demanded that we forego many of the liberty hours and put in many extra work hours. Consequently, the majority of the cruise was spent at sea, supporting the units of the U. S. SIXTH Fleet in the Mediterranean. Although no one really enjoyed the twenty-four hour work days that often occurred, the fact that we fulfilled our mission professionally and completely, and that we contributed, in some way to the peace settlement in the Mid East, provides a great deal of satisfaction, and more than makes up for the inconveniences. The next few pages are photos showing some of the places we visited, interesting though few in number. 4 4 1 5 l T F l Y 1 - - ,Va . -It ' :- t - yryj- In , V, ...,- - - '-- - Q, -r- 4,1,., V- .N ,I - xr.-,, ' M Q ,f I 6 n I l I B I i. o 1 Y P I Y K I v I 1 4 1 L A w A V , , . . , .54 1 0 in ,X if sly , A9 ky Q: xv 1 X f j NO , X X ,f ,f X W1 W?

V CHANGE OF COMMAND On September 8, 1973, a very important event took place aboard the USS CALOOSAHATCHEE in Lisbon, Portugal. Captain John E. MALLOY relieved Captain Bernard E. GOEHRING as Commanding Officer. There is no other event in the Navy quite as significant as a change of command for the captain sets the tone of the ship. He is completely and inescapeably responsible for the ship and the lives of all her crew and his every decision has far reaching effects on each member of the crew. He must earn the complete confidence and trust of all the people in his command to well and faithfully discharge his duties. The awesome responsibilities of command at sea require a very special type of man. On September 8, we said farewell to Captain GOEHRING and Welcome Aboard to Captain MALLOY. 5 2 V , M4 .1-.. i l 1 L V,,., .A.,- '--finm ' A 31 5 .Av-,il JA I ' H -- ' -f Q lv ' ' ' ' 3' 'v G ff 1 1 A, M we , , W L ' 1 ' ,lffwrffm 'fa-i:Q? :'i'i5 A ' ' J K 17' :Tr ff?

SPENCE N The old Chief Engineer, LT Herb SPENCE, Jr., left the ship early in the cruise upon his retirement from the Navy. Having been here for the past three years, he was a well known figure. We are not really sure what he is doing now but the fact that inithis picture, taken as he was saying goodbye shows hirn in his fishing hat already, may be an indicator. Best of luck to MR. SPENCE Wherever he is.
