The Coat of Arms in the center is a facsimile of the shield of the city seal of Camden, New Jersey. The right half contains a sailing ship, representing the city as a port of entry, and its shipbuilding industries. The left half is a replica from the Coat of Arms of Lord Camden, after whom the city was named. Flexibility, Readiness, Endurance: CAMDEN ' s motto embodies the three characteristics the ship and her crew must possess to meet the logistic support challenge the ship is designed to fulfill. The crossed sword and anchor in the background represents her crew, both officers and men. The line border circumscribing all facets of CAMDEN ' s emblem emphasizes the unity of the fleet. CAMDEN ' S M ission CAMDEN is designed to furnish rapid simultaneous replenishment of petroleum to the fleet. As one of the fastest underway replenishment ships ever built, she is able to operate with the attack carriers and replenishment ships whenever and wherever needed. The capability to keep pace with carriers in addition to replenishments, is a distinct step forward in fleet support. CAMDEN and her three sister AOE ' s substantially increase the strength and endurance of the fleet. Although this fine ship has four propulsion boilers which furnish steam to turbines originally intended for the Battleship Kentucky, it is the highly trained officers and men who make CAMDEN ' s mission successful. These professionals must know how to operate, maintain and repair everything onboard. They are required to perform their assigned duties, day or night, good weather or bad, and around the clock if necessary in order to fuel, feed, supply, rearm, and deliver the mail to the fleet. CAMDEN proudly serves under the motto: ' ' Flexibility-Readiness-Endurance ' ' COMMANDING OFFICER R. A. WILSON Captain Richard A. Wilson was born In San Francisco, CA, on 5 April 1941.

Fer- dinand Magellan, a Portugese navigator in the service of Spain, landed in the Philippines in March of 1521. Contrary to pop- ular belief, an advanced culture already existed in the Philip- pines. Subic Bay and the sur- rounding areas have been a pop- ular port for sailors for many, many years. 72 rr F mmm m m-iiSi 73 74 75 One of the best things about the Subic Bay area is the vast opportunity of shopping avail- able. From wood carvings of many different designs and shapes, to the most often sought after Capiz lamp, shop- pers find bargain after bargain, and discussing the best price is always standard. Beyond the markets and shops, the Philip- pines offers an incredible beauty that lasts for a lifetime. 77 78 s J MAP one Singapore is an island of only 617 square kilometers, lying just over one degree north of the equator. This small tropical island is a dy- namic, modern metropolis where skyscra pers thrust high above the worlds ' second busiest port. Expressways arch across the harbor, and clean, tree shaded boulevards are lined with ultra-modern shopping centers and luxury ho- tels. But if one takes a closer look, Singapore has also retained many elements of its fascinat- ing past. Gold-domed mosques where the Muezzin still call the faithful to prayer. Quiet backstreets and bustling bazaars overflow with the treasures of the orient. Modern Singapore was founded in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raf- fles, of the British East India Company, decided that its strategic location and fine harbor made it ideal for a trading port. 79 ■b v o mr 80 5P UUDV CC 81 82 83 Z S CROCODILE ¥kW ; 84 85 MOMBASA Mombasa, Kenya, an ancient island city. Although the written history of Mombasa really began with the visit of Admiral Vasco De Gama of Portugal in 1498, it is one of the oldest settlements on the Indian Ocean coast of Africa. Mombasa has always been a large city for its time, having a population of more than ten thousand in the fifteenth century. Today it is East Africa ' s main port, and like Beirut, Istanbul or Singapore it conjures up images of my- stery and romance. For the dedicated shopper Mombasa offers many bargains in a wide range. Fig- ures of Masai warriors, bowls, animal and bird fig- ures and other knicknacs done in ebony and teak woods. Beautiful fabrics, old brass coffeepots, and wooden chests bound in brass are often sought after in Mombasa. There were quite a few Camden sailors who took advantage of the many one to three day tours that took them out to the vastness that only Africa offers and many people only view in a magazine. 87 88 J 89 90 I 91 MT. KILIMANJARO Kilimanjaro has been said to be one of those mountains that once you see, you never forget ... at least in the minds eye, for the rest of your life. And so it was that a large number of CAMDEN sailors made the long trek North East to view one of Africa ' s major beauties. Kiliman- jaro is the highest mountain in Africa. It is an isolated and extinct volcanic mass rising from the plateau of East Africa. There are two main summits connected by a broad saddle. Kibo rises to 19,340 feet, and Mawenzi rises to 16,900 feet. Both summits consist of rims en- closing craters and are covered with thick ice. The slopes of Kilimanjaro are agricultural areas, growing coffee and tropical fruits at lower alti- tudes. Through many years of history many songs and stories have been told about the great Kilimanjaro and the people who live near her or just visit for a breathless sight to hold forever. To tell you that Perth is the worlds most isolated major city is risking a completely false picture of the city. Perth, of course is isolated from the Australian mainstream, but is the most charming city in the country. The first white settlers arrived in 1829, but it wasn ' t until the gold rush of the 1890 ' s that Perth became a city of sorts. The mineral rush that followed World War II then transformed her from a drowsy backwater into a metropolis. Today the capital of Western Australia has over 800,000 people and is rapidly growing day by day. Perth is billed as the Sunshine City. She receives more radiance than any other Australian city, averaging over eight hours of sunshine daily throughout the year. Perth lies astride the Swan River, some 12 miles inland from her seaport of Fremantle. Perth faces the Indi- an Ocean, while every other Australian city of capital faces the Pacific. The location gives Perth the advantage of a beautiful riverfront, yet having the closeness of ocean beaches. The main item that stands out in all of Camden sailors thoughts are the warm feelings and hospitality that the people of Perth and Fremantle bestowed upon them. 93 94 95 PERTH - CITY OF LIGHTS 96 I 97 USO AND KRIS KRISTOFFERSON HOOK US UP Songwriter, Actor, Singer and all around entertainer Kris Kristofferson brightened an otherwise normal even- ing during Westpac lndian Ocean 1985 for crew- members of CAMDEN as well as USS CROMMELIN and USS CALLAGHAN. Kristofferson and his band playing under the Department of Defense USO shows, made an extensive overseas tour to various ships and overseas locations ashore. When asked why he (Kristofferson) took the time to do the USO tour when he had so many recording and movie gigs going on back in the United States, Kristofferson said I spent many lonely mo- ments when I was in the Army stationed in Europe and when an entertainer or band or Bob Hope and his cast of stars would visit, well it would break up the loneliness and make things seem alright and I just wanted to sort of return the favor . Maybe other well known country or rock acts will see what we ' ve done and donate some of their time and hook up with a USO tour. Billy Swan opened the show for Kris and played a few of his past hits and then joined Kris and his band onstage for a rousing three hour show of that Kristofferson style of country music. USS CROMMELIN and USS CALLAGHAN came alongside and moored next to CAMDEN and our flight deck served as the stage for this warm enjoyable evening in the Indian Ocean. Kristofferson during the show quipped This is the weirdest gig I ' ve ever done, ... as far as geographies go. The United Servicemens Organization (USO) provides entertainment to service members and their families as well as assistance to service personnel traveling around the world and in the United States with their many locations. The USO also offers much much more, so support and visit the near- est USO next time you are on the move, whether it ' s in the United States or in transit overseas. 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 (( THE ROYAL COURT M A U)00 DAV IS I 5 107 ' ' QUEEN FOR A DAY 108 IDOO DAV 109 ,.- ?v - «r |Nr ' READY AND WILLIN ' OH YEAH, LEFTOVER WARDROOM CHOW 110 UDOO DAV SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL ' TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN ALL DAY LONG AH HA, A PH RIGHT AND AN SK LEFT, WHIP IT ' OOH I LOVE IT.

WILSON ommanding Officer IN, U.S. NAVY 116 THE PRESTIGE, PRIVILEGE AND THE BURDEN OF COMMAND by Joseph Conrad Only a seaman realizes to what extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman this is not understandable, and sometimes it ' s difficult for us to comprehend, but it is so. A ship at sea is a distant world in herself and in consideration of the protected and distant operations of the fleet units the Navy must place great power, responsibility and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. 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 ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfiring and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship. This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour of duty as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His privileges in view of his obligations are almost ludicrously small; nevertheless command is the spur which has given the Navy it ' s great leaders. It is a duty which most richly deserves the highest, time-honored title of the seafaring world- CAPTAIN 117 LT.

In accomplishing it ' s world-wide mission in defense of freedom, the U.S. Navy routinely de- ploys ships to all corners of the world. Many of these ships make space available to transport hu- manitarian materials for distribution to the ill, the needy and the poor in the ports visited by those ships. These humanitarian materials reach the ships through a unique and vital program-PRO- JECT HANDCLASP. CAMDEN participated in a re- cent Project Handclasp endeavor between the city of Bremerton, Washington and it ' s sister city Olongopo City in the Republic of the Philippines. 110 streetlights donated by Bremerton to Olon- gopo City were transported by CAMDEN to the Philippines during this deployment.

It ' s having him whispering his love to you It ' s whispering back you love him too Then comes a kiss, a promise of love. Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go While you ' re crying inside from wanting him so Watching him leave, with eyes full of tears Standing alone with hopes, dreams, and fears. It ' s sending a letter with stamp upside down To far away lover, in a far away town It ' s going to church to kneel and pray And really meaning the things you say. And though you know that he ' s far away You just keep on loving him more each day Being in love will merit your dreams And thoughts of heaven where love ' s light gleams. Days go by and no mail for a spell You wait for some word to hear that he ' s well The letter arrives and you ' re filled with joy You ' re like a small child with shining new toy. With fingers that tremble and heart beating fast You tear open the letter and read it so fast Yes, he ' s doing well, and he misses you so. And it ' s filled with the love you wanted to know. Weeks are now months, and months are a year You ' re waiting for the day you ' ll have no more fear Time passes slowly, yet it ' s gone very fast You ' re barely aware it ' s here til it ' s past. Yes, loving a sailor brings bitterness and tears Loneliness, sadness and despondent years Loving a sailor isn ' t much fun But it ' s well worth the price when his time is done. Remember he ' s thinking of you every day He ' s sad and lonely for being away So, love him, miss him and try to be braver And always be proud of having a sailor. 151 EDITOR PUBLISHER JOl FRED MILES WATSON EDITOR NCC CHRIS CROY LAYOUT SN ED RICHTER iCl LARRY CORBIN EMC G D FORD JOl FRED MILES WATSON COPY WRITING PN2 RICK AYALA RP3 JIM STIPAN SN PORTER PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHERS JOl FRED MILES WATSON SN JIM R.
