CHANGE OF COMMAND Mrs. Helms and Mrs Russell HISTORY AOE-2 is named for the city of Camden, New Jersey, located on the east side of the Delaware River opposite Philadelphia. The site, first settled in 1681 and known as Cooper ' s Ferry, was renamed in 1773 m honor of the first Earl of Camden, Lord Chancellor of England. Lord Camden was a staunch opponent of the Stamp Act of 1765 and a firm friend of the American Colonies during the Revolutionary War. AOE-2 is the second ship of the United States Navy to bear the name CAMDEN. The first was built m 1900 in Germany as the KIEL. She was seized by the United States upon our entrance into World War I. First fitted out as a cargo ship and commissioned in August 1917, her active career ended in May 1931 although the veteran was called back from retirement in 1940 and she served until the end of World War IL Constructed in Camden, she moved to the Pacific Fleet in September 1967 and made her maiden overseas deployment with the SEVENTH Fleet, May 1968 through March 1969, For the operations of that deployment, CAMDEN was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation. On 21 August 1969, she left her home port of Long Beach, California for a second deployment and returned on 26 March 1970 after having serviced 356 SEVENTH Fleet ships. She commenced her present WestPac tour on 26 August 1970. USS CAMDEN (AOE-2) is equipped with all the modern devices for handling heavy loads as a huge modern warehouse. She has heavy-duty elevators, high-speed conveyors, mechanical pallet transporters and powerful fork-lift trucks. Hundreds of feet of bridge cranes and the world ' s newest system of high-speed-at-sea transfer, make CAMDEN one of the most efficient supply ships of the seas. Her high lines and hoses are augmented by the lifting power of two H-46 helicopters. CAMDEN displaces 53,000 tons, is as tall as an 18 story building and almost 800 feet long. r jif?5 S5 ; Subic Supply Center WESTPAC LIJLIJUJLIIIIIIIIMWMIIIBWWMBIIBIBWWBI— — H iH ,«.« ' !

They also are responsible for our many Fantail Cook-outs.

Mrs. Hannah Tasting Serving SAYONARA FROM USS KITTYHAWK ,, Upon your departure from the WESTP AC scene. The HA WK feels the loss of a friend. We ' ll all miss the CAMDEN, her spirit so bright: God speed and fair winds we shall send. Never let it be said, that duty she shirked. For she would sacrifice all like a martyr. To provide us all beans, the bullets, and oil; As Number TWO she had to try harder. Always so ready at rendezvous time. Awaiting our first shot of the line, n I _■,-,, I Rebel Leadei As we make our approach, anxiety builds; A true lady with reputation so fine. Her course set and steady, not a waver we note. For us to keep station is a pleasure. Burton rigs start to pass and probes taken seat; A true pro, by any mark or measure. Spanwires at tension, UH-46 ' s in action. And our pal, Cap ' n Bill at the con. It ' s a beautiful sight, in daylight or night; We ' ll miss a good friend when you ' re gone. So as you depart, we shed a sad tear. As you return to the ones that you love; The wish that we send comes straight from the heart; Fair winds, calm seas and clear skies above.
