Equally pleasant for me is the sincere pride which I feel for the men of the CAMP and their consistent high performance in every task. All during this seven and a half months in the Seventh Fleet, the CAMP's reputation as a performer remained outstanding. We met every operational commitment, went to the aid of other ships on many oc- casions, and fired our guns against the enemy with enviable effectiveness. Our experiences are treasured memories, not because of the things we did, but because we shared each occasion with such fine shipmates. Let us remember that the men of the CAMP earned her reputation and molded her personality. Throughout many days at sea, a ship and her crew become a unique en- tity-welded together in hardships and happy times into a unity of men and machine - a fighting ship. My best wishes to all who share my nostalgia in browsing through this record of a fight- ing ship's WestPac 1968-69 Cruise. LCDR J. C.

Bunnell, U.S. Navy, a native of Stephenville, Texas, was grad- uated from Stephenville High School in 1957 and attended Tarlenton State College until 1959 when he was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Upon re- ceiving his Bachelor of Science Degree and a commission in the U.S. Navy as Ensign in 1963, Lieutenant Bunnell was assigned to the USS BRINKLEY BASS QDD-8875 where he served as Main Propulsion Assistant and ASW Officer. In September 1966 he was grad- uated from U.S. Naval Destroyer School at Newport, Rhode Island, and assigned to USS ERNEST G. SMALL CDD-838D as Weapons Officer. Lieutenant Bunnell Assumed his present duties as Executive Officer in Sep- tember 1968. Married to the former Miss Marilyn Murden of North Arlington, New Jersey, he is the father of one daughter, Eileen. Executive Gffioer LT Melvin L. Bunnell LT James Dilley Operations Officer LTJG Frank P-HIRS LTI G Ken Schechter Weapons Officer Supply Qfflcey LTJG Tom Marfiak Engineering Officer Department Heads The two departments of the old sailing frigates have grown to four in today's destroyers. Operations, Weapons, Engineering and Supply De- partments all perform the vital and related tasks that keep CAMP always on the move. It is the department head's task to see that the various functions are coordinated, that the organization runs smoothly and, finally, but most important, that the Captain has the information he needs to run the ship well. Once again the bow points toward the far western horizon and our families and friends stand behind us. Night comes on and the familiar routine of watches and sleep, the comings and goings of our ship mates in the dark, begins againg it will not cease dur- ing these thousands of miles and dark nights yet to come. Yet the feeling of anticipation, of expectation is very real for who knows what adventures lie ahead? lt is for us as it has been for mariners since time begang the loneliness of the sea makes no distinction. Yet we are the fortunate ones, for we sail in good company, our shipmates and our aged and trusty ship. Under Way For Sea At Sea I A 1 V 1 I 5 4 4 2 1 1 i 2 .f .

Vietnam is a narrow country, none of it very far from the sea. Because the jungles and rains make overland travel dif- ficult, the sea becomes a convenient avenue for commerce. The thousands of junks that put out along the coast each day are an ex- cellent disguise for that one suspicious juhk carrying arms. As you will see ,from the following pages, coastal patrols do have their high points. i i 1 1 1 L A ,ff iz ' 2 1 , f- df- -- M- .- -- '.:1 : f:. :'1:::':11::fx -3g.3::11,'x 'ui:::.z:.::--:.:'..2 :11:1rr'f'1L-2-2'il-:ZE::13.::t :'.: g:L:it':z:.. , -311 : : '- .-rr. , f-:.- :,: , 4. r fi-.nz .:'-- .1 1, . 1 V - , , 1,-gi: '. f -ff ..1rn,-:'g-:-:,g.:: f,.::f:.-if rp - 'r I'--1::L,L: 1: 11:1-w:1..:.:.'. .2 v-.,-,...,1 pw, ., .. frA:1L-f--f-Q-1-::L11,,,. 5 z, ,. -,.

It sounds simple, just point the gun and pull the trigger but the practicalities of firing even a three inch gun are much more complex. Communi- cations must be established, ammunition brought to the mounts, gun crews brief- ed and the ship geared to general Quar- ters before the Captain gives the Word to let the CAMP's guns fire. On several occasions during the eight month deploy- ment, CAMP proved she could deliver the goods. Unfortunately, during one pa- trol, the mighty NEW JERSEY occupied our spot on the line.

N mf fy VERTICAL REPLENISHMENT Today's Navy uses the technique of vertical re- plenishment to supply ships underway. Fast stores ships heaped with vital sup- plies speed along the coast of Vietnam, Pilots lift the cargo from the decks of the stores ship and, hov- ering over the fantail of the pitching, heaving de- stroyers, deposit their . precious loads of food and supplies. The advantages of this system were ob- vious to those of us who, drenched and cold, tried it the other way.

At regular inter- vals, fuel, mail, stores, and new shipmates arrive across the narrow strip of turbulent sea separating the supply ship and the USS CAMP. As always, mail was our most important pro- ductg a large mail call meant lots of smiling faces. Our unrepping experiences were varied too, from pleasant twilight alongsides to Thanksgiving Day and the hardest fought seas of all. ,f V .-.ark ,xg-z.- g,.::::-:f:v.A:f'ff' f--- ' X, . 1 .1 lv 1 ', lmzn ,U N I 'Mba A I J xx '4 ,mg LFUY ,J Aj gd -'lfgharf 4 4 N kk N -L , M, ,...1,., -,,.-....,.. ,.,, ,., . ,-.,, -, .N , 1 , ,,,, N. .,- ,,,, ...-. ,..,..,..-, Y - Y-.3 , ,. ,.......f...x-ff-.

For most of us, this was our first contact with the people of rural Vietnam. Initial shyness was rapidly overcome by the Supply Officer's store of candy bars and the hospital corpsrnan's interesting hand aids and lotions. Some of us helped the resident liaison unit dig trenches and all of us found a new face for a country that had previously existed as a line of hills on the horizon. You can see the story of their decade in the faces of the children and the elders. 5 f ' ' Ia:-i'Kt:aQ1eiz:s3,':'-, ':' U 331+' -3',ggrgim.'L-src.:.: o-:Halmarfrfr-:ff '-W f-f. . .5-gs:-J --'A-' e-N BURIAL AT SEA O God, Thy sea is great and my boat is so small.

If f ff f ., . .,,fw..,j,,k DRYDGC T L As one of the most active ship's in the Navy, CAMP spends a lot of time underway. So it was when we finally came to be dock- ed in Sasebo that marine growth, barnaoles and seaweed, had oov- ered the entire hull underwater. Removing it was quite a job! The eager workers soon had the growth off, however, and in no time at all, we were ready to leave again, our sleek new paint glinting in the rain. When the big day came, we all watched with interest as the cascades of water rushed in to float us free. The giant gates opened and CAMP was ready to sail onoe more. HIGH DRY AND BUSY . . . WITH BUSY STREETS EOR LIBERTY A mix of old and new, Sasebo's streets were a never ending pageant of people and places. Family elders, clad in traditional kimonos, mingled with mod youngsters decked in the latest fashions. Varnished store fronts stood next to bril- liant chromium palaces and through it all the carefree, pellmell Japanese traffic hurtled endlessly. This was a place that would never bore you, although, 'in glimpses of slow charcoal fires and tiny flimsy cottages, you just might imagine what it would be like to be lonely here, alone with forty centuries. DIVISIG 1 i Underway, the CAMP is permeated with the constant rumble of her giant diesel engines, the hidden domain of snipeland , peopled by. an interesting race of oil smeared, hardworking' and almost, tireless, M Division types. Initiated at an early age into the mysteries of pistons and timing gears, they minister to the constant needs of their machinery. Seldom seen, they are always neededg ready to answer all bells, testifies to M Divis-ion's constant effecl tiveness.

For three hectic but glorious weeks, we tended to the needs of tired destroyers off the gun line as they pulled in for rest and relaxation. But life was not all work and no play, so we came to explore the bright lights about the incred- ibly busy port as well. From the honky tonk world of the Wanchai district to the cool, plush surroundings of the Mandarin Hotel, Hong'iKong opened to our needs. We soon found that we would never be able to take advantage of all the bargains or see all the sights, but we certainly tried harder! . ., , :.n-'qvx ,U 1 , - - -4:41.:': . f , Y ,. ,..,- X 'I-HH ' 1 ' ' L ar difiwfrf Qfzgzxzggiiaweei-:ew-l'2'Fi 'nvwjhfi W MJ' V W A p L i-ivf f- iv,:f.1f1 -'H .- ' f'f 'g' f .-mail.. -1---fflla,-f w'-- ' ' 25250 ' ,..fg YN 5, X my my . - rf QW, QQWM 'f m .,,: . . 44 W ' f ., . , I , V , , 5 z:,z.3:v-,,rq1 .,:1gn-.5:.gV: 1.::1..:':-S-if1':.'Qg.7.:.uj1I-,cf-jxf'-Q-,-,Q ' X f Q7 ' f , Yi, Wg, Z 4 wwf, QW ,-f, 1 .-M4 ?:?W-ww mf W9 w f' , f ff-4 , f , f. 5 f W, ns w ,V ,:l,!V4f74Z ,hai f x f,.,f,,,j ffyf - M ,f , G KUNG SCE EM Nw , ,,,, COMPLEX VARI TIO ON A THE E. ,.'w-Aww -g -:fe -:-2:-'J-'xxx'-::T:1.:ginsg:-6:53:16ir:12:151::5111:T.:fF:1:L:.:211'rin3'l:11.9LfEFFIEEE-3? ,., J v.:x....1.1Trv: :.:,.:-..:.... ,. ,,.r,,f-,.-y-L::w::L:5p:-c' :ruff -7 1-zzff 1: :4-.:.:L:::::f'::i-rf: f 11 W 1::::.4,:::gg:r.,:'m::::r:.:,:'z:1.:.,?r,..-..,.., . , a:L.,,:..,:,..,:,,.,, ..

Again and again, proud shipmates elected to remain among the world's best, the profes- sionals of the U,S. Navy. Surrounded by the endless tracts of sea they know so well, they raised their right hands and pledged to con- tinue the careers they had begun so well. We salute them.

Per- forming virtuoso feats such as the two hour provisioning in Subic before our short notice departure, the men of the Supply Department kept us in the ball game right through the last inning. At times, during stormy unreps, they had to work harder at it, but Supply always came through.

It is the Amer4 ican blue-jacket, the enlisted man, petty officer, chief and seaman, to whom the Navy looks with pride as the power of the fleet. He bears the brunt of the long, cold watches, of rugged days and sleepless nights, Since 1776, the American sailor has distinguished himself upon the world's oceans by his tenacity, good will and un- failing devotion to duty.

Suddenly the whole day is drenched in sun- shine and you know at last you're home.
