Davis. The steel of a ship itself is hard enough to navigate safely and effectively with- out 1,000 different personalities to go along with the task. On the next page. Captain Davis is seem- ingly at peace — his hands in his pockets, a Scottish tartan on his head ... He is actually busier than a seaman on the main deck — except that Captain Davis is not handling lines, he ' s coming down the stretch of a very long cruise of 89 days and 10,000 miles. Why is CANOPUS known as one of the best ships in the Navy? Captain Davis would tell you it ' s because of the crew. The crew would say it was the Captain. The crew is correct, you know. CANOPUS and its crew is a portrait of its Cap- tain . . . Captain John M. Davis. f A i Conten Brcmeiton Acapulco Equator Panama vy Holy Loch All the Ship ' s Men Guantanamo Bay, Cuba The Old Lady The Old Lady (AS-9) was the predecessor of today ' s CANOPUS. Originally built for the merchant service, she was acquired by the U.S. Navy from Grace Lines, converted into a submarine tender, and commissioned at the Boston Naval Shipyard on 22 January 1922. . ■ M N. : ' ■ ■ fvwwannm ' i % L tki d U:SS.CA OI ' US AS-9 TENDER FOR LSIATIf SUBMARINES W25-I942 PREDECESSOR OF U.SS.

While on station in Spain, CANOPUS accomplished more Polaris re- fits than any other submarine tender in a comparable length of time. After being relieved by USS HOLLAND, she sailed for Bremerton, Washington, for extensive overhaul. Here, 75,000 man- days of shipyard work was performed on CANOPUS to make her the first Poseidon missile support ship. CANOPUS arrived in Holy Loch, Scotland, in May 1970, and relieved USS SIMON LAKE as on site tender for Commander, Submarine Squadron Fourteen. Prior to arrival at Holy Loch, CANOPUS had successfully refitted 91 SSBN sub- marines with 669,065 manhours of labor expended. CANOPUS is the world ' s largest FBM submarine tender. She has the capability of repairing nearly every component in- stalled in a FBM submarine. Executive Officer ... CDR. J. H. Brownley Commander Brownley received his commission on 9 June 1952, and was designated a Submariner in January 1956. He has served on the staff of Commander, Sub- marine Squadron Six; with Fleet Airborne Electronics Training Unit, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; aboard USS ROCKBRIDGE (APA-228) , USS CUBERA (SS-347) , as XO of USS SIRAGO (SS-485) , USS VON STEUBEN (SSBN-632) , and as Commanding Officer of USS TORSK (SS-423) . He served as Operations Officer on the staff of Commander, Submarine Flotilla Two before assuming duties as Executive Officer aboard CANOPUS, 15 September 1969.

After nine months of living with pale white skin in Washington, the crew literally worshipped the sun of the Pacific in the hope of giving them a dark golden tan. The only worry was sunburn and damaging government property — namely, their bodies.

Be it remembered that the said vessel and Officers and Crew thereof, have been inspected and passed on by Ourself and Our Royal Staff.

With certain doom knocking at the CANOPUS brow, pollywogs rebelled, kidnapping unaware shellbacks and initiating them Into the ways of Pollywog World. John Paul Jones would have been proud of them. m i t k « w - r M t I I Don ' t Give Up The Ship Just before reaching the Equator, a special sea detail was set the likes CANOPUS has never seen and probably will never again. Mail and athletic watches, look-outs, marine security guards, and a special shell- back bridge watch ... all played an important role in searching for the Royal Party.

Construction was initiated in 1904 and completed and opened in 1914. Because of World War I the official opening ceremonies were suspended and finally held on 12 July 1920. 31 A chamber of Gatun Locks, Atlantic side of Panama Canal.

On station, a Polaris sub maintains com- plete radio silence, receiving radio messages but sending none, lest it give away its location. .y 5 ' ;«t« i The Submarines The Pig Boats of World War II that tied up alongside the old CANOPUS (AS-9) were a far cry from today ' s FBM subs. PIG BOATS: World War II submarines were basically surface craft with the ability to submerge for limited periods of time. They had a surface speed of about 20 knots, and battery-fed motors allowed about nine knots underwater. FBM ' S: With the introduction of nuclear power, the Pig Boat of old became the Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine of today. Hav- ing unlimited cruising range, free of the need to surface, mobile, and hidden by ocean depths; they are outfitted with the equip- ment to fire 16 Polaris missiles, either while surfaced or under the sea. A 1 I r M T e S i s ' ' ADMINISTRATION 55 Administration A cruise of 89 days and 10,000 miles takes more than bulkhead- rattling machinery. In fact, without the required documents to prescribe procedures, authorize the allocation of materials, and designate responsibilities, machinery would be of no use to the CANOPUS. The administrative function on CANOPUS covers legal matters, personnel records, religious activities, postal functions, and even ship ' s discipline. As the Executive Officer ' s right hand, the officers and men of the Administrative Department battle daily, pen in hand, against the mountains of paperwork. LEGAL OFFICE The legal office offers legal advice and assist- ance in personal matters, and handles the ship ' s internal disciplinary paper work. CHAPLAIN ' S OFFICE AND LIBRARY CANOPUS ' Chaplain ' s office provides reli- gious inspiration and a source of consulta- tion for all aboard. In addition, it offers in- tellectual stimulation through the ship ' s library. Left to Right: Copenhaver, Travis, Ward, Washington, LCDR Eckles, Olmstead, Teague.
