One month later CANBERRA was almost 8,000 miles away on the Naval Gunfire Support line in Viet Nam. Between the lines of these simple statements one can discern many things, true demonstration of our Navy's ready response to sudden need, willing minds, hearts and hands bending to the last minute tasks required of unexpected deployment, and courageous wives and families supporting their husbands and sons inspite of ruined personal plans and concern for safety of their men at war. Through March, April, and May we roamed up and down the Viet Nam coast providing thousands of rounds of heavy fire support to US and allied forces ashore. The pace was fast and wearing on men and equipment, so the brief visits to Subic Bay, Hong Kong and Yokosuka were welcome and needed. We also gave unstinting sup- port to the small boys , the minesweepers, swifts and patrol craft, US and RVN - medical attention, food, water, repair parts and technical assistance. When transport was available we took weary soldiers aboard for a few hours of rest and relaxation. Six gun -salvo or six scoops of ice cream, Can-do Kangaroo was ready, willing and able. This book is the panorama of these actions. As you turn the pages, remember with well deserved pride what you did here, the shipmates that shared the experience with you, and the families at home who supported you in heart and spirit. 'ani 3 CAPTAIN MARK W. WGODS, USN COMMANDING GFFICER 4 Captain Mark W. Woods, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Pace Woods, was born on April 28, I 1918, in Whitehall, Montana.

He has had tours as Terrier Missile Research and Development Project Oilicer in the Bureau of Ordnance, and as Branch Head for Surface to Air Missiles in the Ofice of the Chief of Naval Operations. From 1960 to 1963 he was Director of the Surface Warfare and Space Division on the Staff of Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force, U. S. Navy. His last assignment was Executive Ofiicer and Deputy Director of the newly formed U. S. Naval Ship Missile Systems Engineering Station, Port Hueneme, California. Captain Mark W.

ERAEANT EXECUTIVE OFFICER 6 Commander Robert john Brabant was born in Sacramento, California in November, 1925. While attending Peru State Teachers College and the University of Califonia at Los Angeles he was enrolled in the Navy ROTC Program.

CHANDLER CDD-7175, and in May, 1947 he was ordered to the USS SUTHERLAND QDDR-7430. He served as Communications Officer aboard both vessels. In March, 1948 Ensign Brabant was assigned to the Electronics Material OfHcer's School at Treasure Island, California. Upon completion of an eight month course of instruction he returned to the USS SUTHERLAND QDDR- 743j. In june, 1949 he was promoted to Lieutenant junior Grade. From April, 1950 until July, 1952 Lieutenant Qjgl Brabant was attached to Staff, COMPHIBGRU ONE as assistant Communications Ofiicer and Signal Ofiicer. During the Korean War he participated in several amphibious landing oparations, including Inchon QSeptember, 19505. Shortly before leaving COMPHIBGRU ONE he was promoted to Lieutenant. In july, 1952 Lieutenant Brabant reported to the U.S. Navy Post-Graduate School in Monterey, California. In june, 1953 he was transferred to the Staff, COMSEVRON TWO, and subsequently served as Staff Electronics Ofiicer, Communica- tion Officer until December, 1954 when Lieutenant Brabant became Operations Oflicer for the USS AMMEN QDD-527j.

After attending the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, from August, 1961 until june, 1962, he was ordered to the Naval Communications Station at San Francisco where he headed various departments. Shortly after his arrival he was promoted to Commander. Prior to becoming Executive Ofiicer of the USS CANBERRA QCAG-25 in November, 1965, Commander Brabant was commanding ofiicer of the USS UHLMANN QDD-6872. In addition to the South Korean Presidential Citation, Commander Brabant is entitled to Wear the American Cam- paign Medal, the China Service Ribbon, the World War II Victory Medal, the japanese Occupation Ribbon, the U.S- Korean Service Ribbon, 3 stars, and the U.S. Korean Service Medal. 7 The call was urgentg the Navy needed our big eight-inch guns in WESTPAC. So, a half year ahead of schedule and on just ten days' notice, CANBERRA left for her second Far Eastern deployment in less than a year. Even before our mission began, our crew, many of them new aboard since our last cruise, proved a CAN-DO group. In under 250 hours, they regunned one of our eight-inchers, packed up all the neces- sary supplies, shook down the ship from a recent yard period and readied themselves for the sudden call to combat duty far away from home. f ' . P R E P A R A T I O S One of the most difiicult tasks we encountered as a result of the urgent call to duty was preparing our families for our prolonged absence. After a multitude of tearful farewells on our final morning in San Diego, Rear Admiral Baumberger helped to steel us and our Wives and Sweethearts, Parents and children, for the long, lonely months ahead by promising the cruise would be a brief one. With our hopes set on returning home as soon as we could be spared, we turned our ship west- ward into combat for the second time in seven months. 1-X IV .9574 Af' ,I J-f -, l-- jf...-'J E 1 A 7 X 4 si , , .Vx , . lc, , r 7 . i I ! . ! . , : 1 Q 5 .

Q6 J.. mmvn The feverish activity prior to departure was a clue of things to come. Our transit of the Pacihc was rapid and rugged. We worked at getting our sea legs and we had to get them quickly because during the crossing we drilled and re-drilled, perfecting the prac- tices which would make us a most effective fighting team in the months ahead. The men who had never been to Vietnam before were quickly integrated into the proud team which had performed so well there the year before. Along the way, most of us tried and many of us succeeded in growing beards. The best were judged by the Chiefs and their cultivators con- gratulated by the Captain and Exec. We stopped in Subic Bay in the Philippines for a breather before en- tering the combat zoneg the visit was short - it had to be because we had a job to do ,,,...

After almost a month of intensely active steam- ing, CANBERRA paid a week-long visit to Subic Bay. While some of our shipmates were satished with remaining at the base, basking in the sunlight, playing golf and tennis, swimming or going into the nearby town of Olongapo, many of us went on two-day tours arranged by the Ship. We hopped buses to Manila for guided tours of this sprawling Oriental metropolisg we rode to the resort at Baguio where extensive recreation faci- lities and the cool climate provided welcome hours of rest and relaxation.

THE THINKER From the art of marlinspike seamanship to the craft of cargo handling, from ground tackle manipulation to quarterdeck decoration, First Division performs with skill and enthusiasm. Having one-third of the ship to care for is a big order, but the main deck and sides from bow to frame 66 always look good,,,First Division makes it so . Our living compartment is cool and comfortable, our head is clean and bright, and we have early reveille every day. We steer the ship, drop the anchor, rig the accomodation ladder, polish brass, and scrub the deck. We chip, scrape, sand, and paint to side and in forward officers' country. We handle powder, projectiles, food, and stores from UNREP ships, and we tend the distance line. Deck seaman- ship is man's work We shoot the 8 guns, serve as sentries and sideboys, help emergency parties, and have a lot of liberty. There's always plenty of action for the First Division. We are Number One. QFrom left to right.j Front: Mullins, SA, Hrncir, SA, Veri, SN g Jacobs, SA Harvey SA Fulk SN Taylor SN Van Buren, SN 5 King, SN 5 McKusick, SA.

These mounts give the ship 18 guns of extremely effective fire power to deliver against the enemy attempting to close in on air attacks. They can be operated in automatic or local control. To deliver sustained fire, directly below the five and three mounts are upper handling rooms and ready service rooms respectively. The mounts are serviced directly from these rooms. These rooms are replen- ished from lower magazines located three and four decks below the main deck. In addition to antiaircraft fire, the five inch are frequently used in ShOrC bOrI1b21rdH1Cnt. They are capable of delivering extremely accurate fire over a distance of seven miles or more. The five inch and three inch can also deliver accurate and rapid fire at surface tragets. Behind our missiles, the ship's AA Batterys stand ready to defend CANBERRA against any foe. 85 I I f, g if 5' ff? ..

The detachment supplies a complete platoon landing party and com- prises the bulk of the tactical leadership for the ship's company landing party. Much of the detachments training is con- ducted under the supervision of the Wea- pons Dept. The Marines stand watches on both the 3 f5O caliber and the 5 f38 cal. gun mounts. They are one of the few di- visions on the ship trained on and with experience on both weapons. As always, tradition accompanies the Marine wherever they go. The blue dress uniform with the red stripe on the trousers have sailed with the Navy for many years. The uniform is most often honor guards for visiting dignitaries and in change of command ceremonies. 1 1 11 11 111 111 11' ,11 1 11 ,1 ,ig 1 11.

It is responsible for all the fire control radar, directors and computers which con- trol CANBERRA's guns. During a busy cruise, such as this one has been, this equipment is in constant use and requires qualified personnel on watch for casualties and ready to make repairs. Personnel are also needed, round the clock, to man the directors and main battery plot when condition watches are set. All told, these men are responsible for the operation of fire control equipment associated with gun batteries, enabling suc- cessful accomplishment of assigned battery tasks - destroying enemy air, surface and shore targets. Al- though we haven't been called upon for the first two tasks, our fire control has proven effective in shore bombardment missions.

The largest division of the Opera- tions Department, the Radarman's tasks vary from tactical communications to Naval Gunfire Support. Indeed, a Radarman is an important man in the com- bat readiness of his ship. An enemy can be engaged only after he is detected, and the ship's ability to detect an airborne or surface enemy depends upon the alertness and skill' of her Radarmen. C Despite many claims for credit, radar was 'never actually discovered by any one person or group of persons. In his theory of electromagnetism published in 1873, james Clark Maxwell predicted, by means of pure mathmetics, the possibility of radio waves. In 1888 Heinrich Hertz proved radio waves could be generated although his only went a few feet. In 1897, Marconi was transmitting waves from England to Newfoundland. Between the years 1922 and 1930 further tests proved the military value of the radar principle for detecting objects hidden by fog, smoke or darkness. This was the real beginning of radar. Called the greatest secret of World War II, the U.S. Navy ordered radar for the first time in 1936. The first ship to use it was the Battleship USS NEW YORK in 1938. And in 1966, the alertness of CANBERRA's Radar- men and the eyes of her radar were instrumental in the rescuing of ten men aboard a downed aircraft. Guns, rockets and missiles may help defend our country, but a Radarman makes their use possible. are A f f f za a' -' . Q 2 f' SS W I w 4--New 1 Susie? A , gp 9 i W ff ' I - z.

Directly responsible for all visual communications, either action or information to the command, CAN- BERRA signalmen are kept in a con- stant state of readiness to handle the message whatever it may be. Not only are they involved in tactical situa- tions and their signals, but 'COM RELAYS' and command organization to name a few of the daily message topics handled visually. Diversity is a byword, and the 21 men making up OS Division are surely cut out to handle just that. Besides the technique of 'Skivvy Waving' or semaphore, flashing light, Haghoist and pyrotechni- ques play an important role in the life of the Can-Do Signalmen. From night calls to UNREP to search and rescue ops, to 'signal that can', the signal gang is kept on the go constantly pro- viding rapid, reliable and secure visual communications. ,mmll o T ill TTW 'S' 4 1 -fffiffff' sf rf X S of r 'xv' 1 J' an CFrom left to rightj Front: Mills, SM-3, Hunter, SN, Kappedal, SM-3, Walker, SN, Dievert, SM-3, Steinly, SN Middle: Ifffjgj Stognerg Wollins, CYNSNg Vandermark, SN, Younger, SN g Geiger, SMC g Van Tassel, SN g jones SA, ENS Van Duinwyk - Division Oliicer.

To accomplish this, it is neces- sary for the 48 men in the division to stand port and starboard watches on VVESTPAC deployments, both at sea and in port. Theirs is the never ending job of insuring that the voice of command is always loud and clear. The division is divided into three main areas of responsibility: Message Processing Secure Teletype, and Transmitter Control. The message processing section insures that all outgoing messages are in the proper format for rapid and reliable delivery, duplicates the necessary copies of all incoming and outgoing messages and effects timely distribution of these copies to the appropriate people aboard ship. The secure teletype section transmits all outgoing trafic in the appropriate circuit and receives all messages addressed to us that are sent via radioteletype circuits. The transmitter control section keeps all transmitters and receivers tuned to the proper frequencies which we are required to guard and in addition cleans and maintains all tele- type and radio equipmen.

The division is a service division that affects and benefits every division and every man on CANBERRA in one or more of the following ways. Machinery Repairmen recut valve seats and manufacture all types of parts for any and all machi- nery on CANBERRA. Machinst Mates make CANBERRA a more comfortable place to live and work by keeping air conditioning, food freezers and drinking water coolers in top working order. They also operate and maintain the ship's steering system. They keep the crew comfortable by giving them heat when they are cold and keeping food preparation and laundry equipment in continuous good working order. The Enginemen maintain and operate the engines of CANBERRA's liberty boats so the crew can get ashore and enjoy liberty. They also maintain the ship's Emergency Diesel Generators, which supply electrical power to all vital equipment and lighting circuits when the ship's main generators fail. To list all services and equipment for which A Division is responsible on CANBERRA would take a book by itself, but without the services of A Divi- sion, CANBERRA would be a miserable home and place to work for over 1,000 people.

K ,,l,, ' 111 Deep in the heart of CANBERRA there is a group of men who work and play hard. They are B Division. These men create the power to maintain the cycle of the ship's routine. They take black oil CN.S.F.O.DVand reserve feed water QHZOD and turn it into a useful medium called steam QHZO-i-OFD in their over-grown water heaters QBoilersj. These boilers must be lovingly pampered so they are known to some of the men as their wives and swe- ethearts while at sea. A second group of men in this large di- vision receive part of the steam and turn it into electrical power through the use of turbo-generators. There is a third group in B Division concerned with distributing and testing fuel oil, feed water ffor the boilersj and fresh water Qfor the crewj. They also keep the ship on an even keel by keeping tanks on both side of the ship evenly filled. Since all of the ship's main power comes from the boilers that B Division tends, the ship could not function without the Boiler Technicians and Machinst Mates of B Division, working in 114 degree temperatures to keep our ship ready to meet her committments.

Long and arduous hours under hard conditions are the rule for these men. Since the services provided by EMS affect every space and operation, the job they do is a vital one. The Interior Communication Technicians are responsible for the ship's gyro-compas- ses, MC units, sound-powered communica- tions, and automatic telephone exchange as well as maintenance and operation of motion picture projectors and associated equipment. The IC men, no less than the EM's provide services which without, the ship would cease to funtion.

It is the responsibility of these men to operate and-maintain the four main engines which drive the ship through the water at speeds in excess of 30 knots. In addi- tion the men of M Division operate and maintain the four salt water distilling plants which provide the ship with all the fresh water required for drinking, washing and cooking as well as the salt free feed Water used in the ship's boilers. In accomplishing their dual mission of keeping the ship moving Whenever and wherever she is needed and supplying her with vitally needed water, the men perform tasks of both a menial and highly technical nature under conditions of extreme heat, humidity and, of course, the ever present press of time.

You may not hear too much about the Shipfitters and Damage Controlmen, but every bit of metal or pipe work or weld that didn't come with the ship is a product of their skill, and there is evidence of it in every compartment 011 the ship. If you follow those red and green gas hoses or that black welding Cable to its end, you will surely find an R Divi- sion man at the end of it hard at work.

The storekeepers are charged with the responsibility of ordering, receiving, storing, and issuing the repair parts and consumable supplies needed to maintain and operate the ship. In connection with this, they perform the necessary accounting work to keep track of the ship's annual operating budget and in- ventory, and maintain the records required to keep up with the thousands of items in their storerooms. Additional services performed by the storekeepers include the shipment of personal effects of personnel unavoidably separated from their effects and gear in excess of the weight allowances for air travel for personnel transfered during deployment. The disbursing clerks of S-1 Division maintain the pay records of the crew, enabling personnel to be paid at any time, whether at sea or in port. Additional duties include the computation of travel claims, re-enlistment bonuses, and lump sum leave payments. Another important feature of the DK's work is registering allotments for members of the crew. f xf fy,f , fr 1, A f ' ffw ,Q f t , a 'to 1 , XA- if r gf sz J 1 1, me -is , V swag . f 2 if 5 X Swv. .

I DIVISIO S-3 Division serves two functions: sales and service. The sales activities provide many advantages to the crew. Their basic job is to supply the crew with everything from peacoats to peanuts at the lowest possible price. Secondly, they generate approximately fF520,000.00 in profits each year, which becomes the ship's Welfare and Recrea- tion Fund. The service facilities encompass a wide range, and are provided at no cost to the crew. The laundry provides about 10,000 pounds of clean fresh clothes and linen each week. The live barbers have the responsibility of keep- ing the crew close clipped for that military appearance. The tailor alters, mends, stripes and presses the uniforms of the crew. Finally the cobbler keeps everyone soled and heeled' for comfortable walking. S-3 Division personnel have but one main objective in their duties. That is to take the second word of their rate, Ship's SERVICE men, and render it in the most eiiicent way possible ro the men of CANBERRA. O s T 0 F F F I C E E V3 X Q if 1. WL' If NE MEI Q H3 V22 W.

VACABUCCI, USN DENTAL OFFICER The Dental Departments' foremost aim is providing the highest standard of dental care for all personnel aboard. Stalfed by one Dental Ofiicer, two dental technicians and two strikers, the Dental Department is responsible for preventing and controlling dental disease and supervising the dental hygiene of the crew. In carrying out this mission, the Dental Oflicer, assisted by the dental techs, provides routine dental treatment for all personnel who present themselves with dental disease. Nearly all dental abnormalities can be treated and remedied aboard CANBERRA with the exception of prosthetic replacement of missing teeth. The dental technicians have as an added mission, a program of oral hygiene instruction for the crew. This program involves a lfg hour session in the dental chair for each man on the CANBERRA. During this time, his teeth are cleand and examined, he is given toothbrushing instructions, and an anti-cavity solution. of floride is applied to his teeth. It is hoped that this program will lessen considerably the need for future dental treatment. Q15 ff ,qi .:-v:.g,g.1 - .f af all-1 .. zf- ,. . f f f ,f ff jfffz X nf!

A number of the Corpsmen are technicians, trained for specialized work, such as X-Ray, Labora- tory, Pharmacy and operating room. All Corpsmen are rotated periodically and acquire a working knowledge of all the functions of the Medical Department. The sickbay ward which has been very busy this cruise has 19 beds. There is an isolation room for contagious diseases, but fortunately it has not been used for some time. The treatment room, another busy place, is where sick call is held. A great number of patients are examined here each day. The minor problems are handled by the corpsmen, and those requiring more specialized treatment are referred to the doctor. The X-Ray Department takes about 60 to 80 X-Rays per month. The pharmacy fills 700 to 800 prescriptions, and the laboratory performs 130 to 150 tests monthly. The operating room is equiped for major and minor surgery. An emergency appendictomy was performed during this cruise. The record office maintatins a health record for each man on board and takes care of the departments administrative functions. The primary mission of the Medical Department is care and treatment of the sick and injured. However, another responsibility lies in the training of the crew in personal hygiene and first aid.

NH Division consists of 15 Quartermasters who aid the Navigator in his responsibility of safely guiding the ship to its various destinations. Using celestial and loran fixes, the QM's guided the ship across the vast Pacific Ocean to St. Bernardino Straits in the Philippine Islands where radar and visual fixes were then used to cross the strait. Shortly after this the QMS found themselves studying almost every rock, mountain, river mouth and navigational light along the Vietnam coast between Saigon and Da Nang where the ship operated in shallow waters and within a stones throw of land. Along with taking fixes and recommending courses the QMS are responsible for manning almost all control sta- tions when going alongside other ships for replenishment and at sea details for entering and leaving port. Whenever one Hnds a ship underway, one will find the Quartermasters busy at work. Navigation iS HH ever changing and endless task which requires a COHUUUOUS effort by every member of N Division as 21 Part of CANBERRA's navigation team.
