FAR EAST TOUR USS CALVERT APA-32 ,ff .LESS 2, K! I C, FORWARD This is a story, a story about an elegant fighting lady of the U.S. Navy, the U.S.S. CALVERT QAPA 325. The CALVERT hull was laid at SPARROW POINT, MARYLAND, on February T0, T942. On the first of October T942 she was commis- sioned and turned over to the Navy where she immediately went into action. She took part in many operations from the invasion of NORTH AFRICA in T943 on through to the invasions of MAKIN ISLAND, the MARSHALL ISLANDS, SAIPAN, and LEYTE and LUZON ISLANDS in the Philippines. After VJ Day, she took part in the occupation of KURE, JAPAN until October 6, T945. Her iob in the Navy was to transport troops, supplies, and equipment in amphibious invasions and to act as flagship for a transport squadron commander and she did it well. On February 26, T947, she received a well deserved rest being inactivated at Norfolk, Virginia. In October T950, she was again called to active duty and was recommissioned under the command of Captain Glenn L. LEGWAN, USN. She participated in the invasion of INCHON, KOREA and last year, she took part in the operation, Passage to Freedom , in Indochina where she transported over 6,000 refugees from HAIPHONG to SAIGON. This is a brief incomplete story of OUR LADY in words. The remainder of the story is in pictures on the following pages as we, the men of the CALVERT, present with extereme pleasure the highlights of this 5th Far East Cruise which began in March of T955. DEDICATION The Cruise Book for 1955 is dedicated to the retiring CHIEFS ot the CALVERT. Throughout lite they can be proud of their outstanding service to the ship, the Navy, and the country. Those oi us who served with them will always re- member these men, not only as shipmates, but also for the skill and knowledge they employed to make the CALVERT one ot PhibPac's outstanding APAs. .

PETERSEN took command of the U.S. S. CALVERT on I2 March I955 in a colorful change of command ceremony at San Deigo, California, shortly before sailing for WESTPAC. A veteran of World War II and the Korean War and a graduate of the Naval War College, Captain Petersen has served in many and varied shipboardxand staff assignments More recently, he commanded the U.S. S. MOUNT BAKER QAE-45 and the u. s. s. sAN PABLo IAGS-305, the letter ship being widely know for her extensive oceanographic and hydrographic surveys in the Atlantic, North Sea and Mediter- ranean Ocean areas. His numerous awards and decorations include the Navy Unit Commendation for service in the U. S. S. PRESIDENT HAYES, and the Purple Heart with gold star. He also holds the Bronze Star with Combat V. An OFficer exemplfying the highest traditions of the U.S. NAVY and a dynamic leader, Captain Petersen has con- tributed greatly to the smart appearance and efficient performance typified in this amphibious squadron flagship. He is a native of Chicago, Illinois but makes his home 'in San Diego, California. . Stanley J. Lewandowski Commander, U.S. Navy IIUR EXEC Commander LEWANDOSWKI, whose permanent home is located in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, came to the CALVERT in September of I95-4. He came to us from San Juan, Puerto, Rico, where he served as Naval Port Control Officer. Com- mander LEWANDOWSKI is well known for the taut ship he keeps. Since first enlisting in the Navy in December of i928, our Exec has served in every rank and rate from Seaman Recruit to Commander. During twelve years as a Hwhite hat he earned three good Conduct awards. He was appointed a warrant officer and later commissioned in the early '40s. His services during the war were spent in the Atlantic and Mediterranean areas. During the Normandy Invasion he was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat UVM. From i950 to I952 Commander LEWANDOWSKI was in command of the U. S. S. MALIBAR, a refrigerator ship engaged in logistics work in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. In his naval carrier Commander LEWANDOWSKI has served in battleships, cruisers, and destroyers as well. He is currently residing in San Diego, California, THE CIIMMIIDUIIE Kemp Tolley Captain, U.S. Navy Commodore Tolley, U. S. Navy Academy '29, took over the Squadron in Novemeber T954. He was born in Manila and the maiority of his naval service has been in the Far East and Europe, including two years study of the Russian language and T5 months at bomb blasted Chungking in the gunboat TUTUILA during the Sino-Japanese War. Pearl Harbor found him in command of a Q ship, a two masted schooner manned by a Filipino crew, enroute to Camranh Bay. After the fall of Manila, Admiral Hart, CinC Asiatic, gave permission for the ship to try an escape to the south and sailing at night and holing up by day alongside palm covered islands, the little craft arrived in West Australia 90 days and 4,000 miles later. Two of the war years Capt. Tolley spent in the USSR and the last one as navigator of the battleship USS NORTH CAROLINA, in the Pacific. Detached V-J Day, he successively served in the ofticexof Naval Intelligenge, commanded the USS VERMILION IAKA TO7l and LST Squadron TWO, was director of the Intelligence Division of the Armed Forces Staff College, and then spent two years as Operations Officer, Staff of ComPhibGru TWO, before coming to Squadron Five. On 5 May he assumed the added duties of Commander Amphibious Group Western Pacific and served in that capacity until departure for good old Uncle Sugar. CHIEF 0F STAFF Commander Hendrix is one of the Old-timers on the Staff, having reported in December T953, and this being his second cruise to WESTPAC on board the CALVERT. He was born in Port Deposit, Maryland, and entered the U.S. Naval Academy from West Virginia in T935. He was commissioned in T939 and assigned duty on board the battleship MARY- LAND for one year until T940. This was followed by a 6 months' stint on board the destroyer JOUETT from June to December T940 at which time he volunteered for submarine duty. After graduation from submarine school, New London, Connecticut in March T94T, he was assigned to duty on board the Asiatic Fleet submarine S-39 until her loss in the Solomons in August T942. He was then assigned to the submarine STURGEON and during two years served as her First Lieutenant, Engineering, Electrical and Executive Officer. Following that tour, from T946 to T948 he performed duties in the Navy Department in the Undersea Warfare Section. His next tour of duty consisted of a one year post graduate course of instruction in oceanography at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and after graduation from there, served for nine months in the Undersea Warfare Section of the U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office in Washington, D.C. Subsequently, in July T952, he was assigned duty with Joint Task Force T32. After T5 months in this project Commander Hendrix came to us as Chief Staff Officer. Soon to be detached to duty as skipper of ia San Diego based destroyer, we all wish him a hearty Bon Voyage .

ENRUUTE JAPAN On March 31, 1955, the Calvert departed San Diego and began the 19 day iourney across the Pacific to Yokosuka, Japan. For some men this was a new experience, while for others it was the repetition of a past experience , but all hands aboard were happy to set toot on solid ground when we arrived in Yokosuka on the 19th ot April.

The population is l,03O,635. The present administrative structure of Nagoya is similar to the government made up ot cities and towns in the U.S. J Nagoya owes its position as the second largest industrial center in Japan to its geographical location. Nagoya is located at the head ot lse Wan in central Honshu. The coldest month is January with a mean temperature ot thirty seven degrees. Temperature increases uniformly throughout the spring, reaching a mean seventy nine degrees in August, the warmest month. Rainfall is abundant during the spring and summer, with at least tive inches per month recorded from April through October. Snowtalls can be expected from December to March. Nagoya is one of the several cities ot Japan which has taken advantage of war damage to relay its road pattern to make way for wide modern streets and boulevards. The pepole are modern in their outlook but many have little or no contact with English speaking people. Shopping in Nagoya is the greatest attraction and local products such as china, sewing machines, textiles, etc. can be purchased at reasonable prices. Nagoya is the second largest industrial city in Japan since the war. lndustry here has sought worldwide markets. She also has the second largest automobile plant and railroad in the country. Despite her heavy war damages, probably the greatest in Japan, she has rebuilt and recovered her national position in almost every phase ot her economy.

Shimoda, Commodore Perry's entry port and the base of Town- send Harris, first Consul General of U.S. to Japan, is a hill enclosed fishing port of about 8,000 popu- lation, located on the southern tip of the IZU peninsula. lt is a small industrial town primarily dependent A Future Citizen on it's fishing industry. lt is the best on the peninsula. The Black Ships under the command of Commodore Perry of the United States Navy arrived at Shimoda in l854. At Ryosen-Ji Temple, here, the U.S. Japan Amity Treaty was concluded. This awakened Japan from a long dream of seclusion from other countries. The port of Shimoda was opened and the first Consulate General of the United States for Japan, Townsend Harris, was placed. His diplomatic ability and tact led to the negotiation of a commercial treaty on July 29th l858, the first ever made between Japan and a Western nation, by the terms of which, Yokohama was opened to foreige trade. To commemorate this historic event, and to pay homage to those pioneers who played the important part in opening Japan to the world, the first Black Ship Festival was held in T934 under the auspices of those interested. lt served to enhance the friendly relations between the United States and Japan. The HCALVERTH entertained approximately 3,000 men, women and school children by conducting them on a tour of the ship. This Main street, Shimocla. aided in promoting a successful Black Ship Festival in l955.

Kobe harbor is divided into two sections: The southern portion which is devoted to domestic trade, and the I northern portion, which is devoted to KOBE HARBOR foreign trade. The city is hemmed by Local color in Mt. Rokko Park steep hills on the north and so has spread east and west along Osaka Bay which is on the south. The business district is situated near the waterfront, and the residential quarter on the slopes of the foothills. ln the heart of the business district is a long narrow street called Motomachi-dori, which is the great shopping district of the city. Here an endless variety of merchandise can be purchased, such as chinaware, fine silks, jewelry, cloisonn, and perfume. lt is a veritable paradise for souvenir hunters. Also in the heart of the business district, near Sannomiya station, is the lkuta Shrine, a very ancient and famous Shinto Center, from which Kobe seems to derive its name. The city was originally called Kamibe, or H Keepers of the Gods , the H be referring to a community dedicated to the upkeep and protection of the shrine, where the Kami Qgodsy are enshrined. Within thirty minutes travelling time from Sannomiya station is the famed Mt. Rokko Park, considered to be an excellent place for rest and recreation. The mountain has an altitude of 3,057 ft., and the summit may be reached by way of a cable car. In the park is an eighteen hole golf course which has a very peculiar uphill layout, an exceptionally beautiful Alpine Botanical Garden, and the Rokko Oriental Hotel, which is an excellent stopping-over place. Takarazuka is another popular pleasure resort, located about forty minutes away from Kobe by electric railway. The greatest attraction there is the all-female theatrical company, which is famed throughout the Far East for the magnificent and spectacular stage plays which it presents daily. The large opera house there contains three theatres: the largest for the girls theatrical company, the second- largest for movies, and the smallest for variety shows. Other points of interest there are the zoological and botanical gardens, public and private baths, a library, dining room, and a childrens recreation ground. Nara and Kyoto are two very interesting cities, located quite close together and within less than an hour's time from Kobe. These cities played an important role in the early development of Japan's arts and crafts, and religion. Kyoto was the capital city of ancient Japan, and in Nara can be found the largest Buddha in the Orient, and many classical Shinto Shrines and Buddhist Temples. 'f 1 The Fabulous Motomachi The Great Buddha of Nom A Navy-Marine landing exercise requires a lot ot planning and work, but above all, coordination and cooperation of all units participating. This was very true ot the operation I we held on Okinawa. The tollowing are a tew pictures taken on that operation which proved to be so highly successful.

Y The landing craft hit the beach. NAVARLEX l-55 was the second operation we held on Ckinawa and was similar to the first except the participants were different. This time it was the Army instead of the Marines. This operation was completed with the same smooth- T i ness and effectiveness as the preceeding one. Being the largest such operation held on Okinawa since World War 2, a lot of work went into the execution of it and the crew highly deserved the HWell Done given to them by the Squadron Commander.

It was near here at le Jim the famous war correspondent, Ernie Pyle met his death prior to the end of the Pacific campaign. On Easter Sunday of i945 American forces stormed ashore on this 67 mile long Island of strategic Asiatic importance. Many Americans lost their lives on this rugged but beautiful terrain but it was finally conquered and has since been supervised by our military government. U. S. Army Engineers and Navy Seabees began the alteration of Okinawa into a modern base. Initial work was near completion by September T945 when three Typhoons struck in succession, destroying much that had been accomplished. In T949 congress appropriated funds to finance Typhoon resistant structures which are now being installed. Since the Korean Action in l950, U. S. military planners have recognized the strategic importance of Okinawa and it has been developed into one of the key American bases in the Far East. By l958, the expected date for completion of construction, the Ryukyus will have become a virtual U Gilbraltar of the Pacific . Today the Okinawans carry on many of the customs and traditions of their ancestors. They are calm and easy going, but their lack of modern mechanical equipment forces them to perform back-breaking labor in their fields and jobs in medieval fashion.

There were few complaints from the crew, as we all look forward to those good old days of R 84 R. The Naval reservation, the town of Olongapo, and outlying villages with a population of over 20,000 make up Subic Bay.

As most visitors, we got the impression of being in a small city, but actually Manila in general is a huge unplanned city and a mixture ot old and new, Western and Oriental. Also, being superimposed upon and intermingled with the old Filipino parts ot the city are architectural styles and other vestiges ot nearly 400 years ot Spanish Domination, 50 years ot American Rule and a modern Filipino Post War Veneer.

Since the victory of Communist forces on the Chinese mainland, the population of Hong Kong has skyrocketed from 800,000 to 2,5000,000. A large number ot these refugees are communists, yet the British control the government, and use the port for their shipping. How' ever, we remember Hong Kong forthe smaller things, the street beggars, and the Chinese Tailors, the Peak Tram, the Tiger Balm Gardens, and the beauty of the city at night as seen from the harbor and the Peak Tram.

Since these ports are so close together and our stay was so brief, vve grouped them together on one page. SASEBO was the center of military activities during the Korean confilct and is, therefore, a tried and true liberty port for American sailors. The city boasts a fine shopping area, many clubs and cabarets and ten thousand taxi cabs. FUKUOKA, with a population of 400,000, is the most prosperous city on the island of Kyushu. The Naka River divides the city into Hakata on the east and Fukuoka proper on the west. Hakata is the commercial and amusement center while Fukuoka, the former castle town of the Kuroda family, is the administrative center. KURE is located in western Honshu, i5 miles south of Hiroshima. Its access to Hiroshima, the site of the first atomic attack, and Eta Jima, the site of the Imperial Japanese Naval College, makes it an interesting port to visit.

I Long range communication is the job of the ship's RADIOMEN. They keep the ship in constant contact with the administrative forces ashore, assuring that the ship, when out ot sight, is never out of touch with other ships and shore stations. The QUARTERMASTER-SIGNALMEN provide us with visual communication with other ships while steaming in a convoy by means of blinker lights, semaphore and tlaghoist. They also serve as the primary lookouts of the ship. ' The RADARMEN are the long range lookouts that keep a constant watch on the area that lies tar beyond the i horizon, reporting any contact appearing on the radar scope which might endanger the ship or hinder it's movement. Z The many different pieces ot electric equipment used by the Radiomen and Radarmen must be kept in top I operating condition, and repaired from time to time.

The purpose of this division is to perform duties that one would find in almost any home or hotel. The senior steward is in direct charge of the division. He supervises the cooks in the preparation of the different food items that appear on the menu, which he carefully plans one week in advance. lt is the responsibility of this division to buy, issue, and prepare all the food that is consumed by the officers and their guests in the wardroom.
