She was built by Todd Shipyards Corporation, Seattle Washington. Carr ' s mis- sion is to escort and protect convoys, underway replenish- ment groups, amphibious landing groups and carrier bat- tle groups. Carr ' s missile, gun, and anti-submarine war- fare systems, combined with her quick reaction and high speed capability, make her a valuable asset in today ' s multi -threat environment.

ROBERTS (DE 413) during the Battle off Samar, 25 October 1944, awarded a posthumous silver star for his conspicuous and gallant display of outstanding technical skill and courageous initiative. When Samuel B. Roberts engaged Japanese heavy cruisers attacking a force of escort carriers, off Samar during the battle of Leyte Gulf, the fire of her 5-inch gun inspired every man on the ship. As the destroyer escort maneuvering radically and used minimal fire control equipment, CARR ' s mount fired over 300 rounds of 5-inch ammunition, scoring, at close range, a great many hits on one of the enemy heavy cruisers, knocking out an 8-inch turret, demolishing her bridge and starting fires aft. Ultimately, the damage received from Japanese shells knocked out all power, compressed air, and communications crippling the ship. Know- ing the hazards involved, CARR ' s close-knit crew loaded, rammed, and fired six charges by hand, without the safety device of a gas-injection sys- tem. In attempting to fire a seventh round, however, the powder charge cooked-off before the breach was closed, wrecking the gun and killing or wounding all but three men in the gunhouse. After the order to abandon ship had been given a petty officer entered the mount to find Carr, literally torn open from neck to thigh, holding a 54-pound projectile, trying unassisted to load and ram the only shell available. Carr begged the man to help him get off the last round, but the latter, seeing that the gun had been destroyed and its breach rendered an unrecognizable mass of steel, took the projectile from the gunner ' s hands. After helping one of the other wounded men to the main deck, the petty officer returned to find Carr again attempting, although horri- bly wounded, to place the projectile on the loading tray of the inoperative gun. Carr perished a few minutes later he was dragged from the mount. Why are we in the Persian Gulf? In the Persian Gulf, as in other parts of the world, the Navy is conducting operations to protect U.S. flagged merchant shipping, support U.S. Aircraft when stationed in Saudi Arabia, display naval presence and maintain area surveillance. The cease- fire between Iran and Iraq reduces the immediate threat to U.S. forces and the International shipping communi- ty. Vigilance against mine, surface, and air threats still required pending resolution of the conflict. The Gulf Co- operation Council (GCC) and Euro- pean allies are conducting similar op- erations in support of national objec- tive. Persian Gulf forces shall be pre- pared to conduct such operations as required to support U.S. National poli- cy in cooperation with allied forces. Iran and Iraq have implemented a U.N. sponsored cease-fire and held negotiations toward a formal peace. The cease-fire continues to hold as they focus on reconstruction and re- armament. Floating mines pose the primary threat to surface units operat- ing in the Gulf because they may ap- pear without warning. Covert mine- laying and acts of terrorism remain a concern. Inadvertent attack by aircraft is the greatest air threat. Finding mili- tary aircraft is a difficult task due to the heavy commercial air traffic and numerous air routes.

Dating back to the first days of the navy there have always been SM ' s and QM ' s. Even though they perform some of the basic nautical skills, they are still a val- ued asset in todays highly technical navy. Signalman provide visual communi- cations through a number of methods making it possible to communicate with other naval unit without the use of elec- tronics which could be intercepted in a threat environment. Some of the SM ' s tools are the semaphore flags, flag hoists, search light, and infrared lights. The QM ' s are tasked with the safe navigation of the ship using the latest satellite navi- gational aids as well as celestial naviga- tion. They derive tracks for the ship ' s plan of intended movement as well as making weather reports to the world ' s weather tracking centers. QM ' s use their port directories to find all of the require- ments for entering foreign ports. They are also tasked with the responsibilities of keeping an accurate deck log both un- derway and inport. ' I have no idea where we are.

Yeoman(YN ' s) and Personnel- man(PN ' s), armed with government forms and typewriters fight the adminis- trative battles onboard. The Chief Mas- ter-At-Arms(CMAA) enforces the poh- cies of the navy and the ship. He verifies cleanhness throughout the skin of the ship and assigns personnel to berthing compartments and individual racks. The Hospital Corpmen(HM ' s) spot check the water system and food from foreign ports looking for possible contamination. They provide medical treatment ranging from aspirin to stitches. The Postal Clerk onboard any ship during a major deployment is one of the most liked per- sonnel onboard. He provides shipmates with letter mail and packages from their loved ones back home. He processes in- coming and outgoing mail, arranging for pick up and delivery services, along with selling stamps, money orders, and out- bound registered mail. ■ T-il HH[H 1 1 MLf Ii ' m ' IW M ]J?

The Air Department is made up of the pilots, aircrew, and maintenance person- nel operating the LAMPS MK III (Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System) SH- 60B Seahawk Helicopter, the navy ' s newest and most sophisticated Anti- Submarine Warfare (ASW) platform. In addition to the primary mission of ASW, the Air Department provides CARR a variety of other essential capabilities, in- cluding anti-ship surveillance and Tar- geting, search and rescue, medical evacu- ation, vertical replenishment, naval gun- fire spotting and communication relay. The Helicopter contains all the avionics necessary for instrument flight and is de- signed to be compatible with the Recov- ery Assist, Securing and Traversing (RAST) system, which allows operation of the aircraft in all types of weather and up to a sea-state five. The main rotor blades and tail pylon can be folded for storage. The Air Department personnal and aircraft first embarked in March of 1989 for preliminary work-ups and have prov- en themselves to be an invaluable asset to the continued operational success of USS CARR.

Tasked with the collection, Evaluation, Process- ing, Display and Dissemination of all Op- erational Data. OS ' S are not only respon- sible for tracking all contacts within the ship ' s search radars range, but they are also responsible for the safety of air as- sets under the Ship ' s Tactical Control, safety of Navigation of the Ship, and Ex- terior Voice and Data Communications with other units. OS ' S write numerous messages in support of the ship ' s opera- tion (Logistic reguests. Operation Sum- maries, and Maritime Reports). They are also responsible for a number of ship- board programs such as the Naval War- fare Publication Library (NWPL), Se- cret Control, Registered Mail, the Mili- tary Cash Award Program(MILCAP), Training Schools and Command Assess- ment Readiness and Training(CART), Plan of the Week(POW), Combined Federal Campaign, Combat Systems Team Training(CSTT), Personnel Qual- ification Standards(PQS) Coordinator, and Temporary Assigned Duties Target (TADTAR). The EW ' S provide Electronic Sup- port Measures(ESM), which contributes to the identification of contacts not held visually. Utilizing ESM an aircraft can be located before it takes off of the run- way, giving the ship the reaction time it needs. ESM also furnishes the capability of tracking and targeting contacts over the horizon avoiding counter-detection. They man The Snoopy Detail, provide Emission Control (EMCON), and Coor- dinate Intelligence Data. LTJG Jenkins gives 0S2 Hosbough his re-enlistement check. ' Log it - OSl Davis smiles!

Not pictured- MS2 Deziel, MS2 Lee, MS3 Brown Prior to the ship waking up each day, there is one division hard at work, S-1 Division. They are preparing break- fast for the crew. The Mess Speciahsts (MS) cook 3 times a day in Port and 4 meals when the ship is out to sea. Even during hoHday routine they are here to produce the fine meals we have come to expect from the Galley. Mess Cooks or Mess Cranks, as they are called, assist the MS ' s with this difficult task. The Store Keepers (SK ' S) supply the ship with repair part needed to keep the ship operationally ready at all times. They keep parts ranging from tiny tran- sistors to helo engines and parts ranging in price from 5 cents to $40,000. Parts that are not kept onboard can easily be ordered with the help of the SK ' s. MS2 Deziel looks over the next menu. SKI Jodoin conducts traning with MS2 Day and SKSN Burton. The DCA reviews Fire Fighting Procedures. Let ' s have Roast Beef tomorrow.

The Persian Gulf has the lotential to become hot at any given noment. The USS STARK and USS lAMUEL B. ROBERTS were placed d life threatening situations without earning. Not a very relaxing environ- lent. There were a few moments that ' ere used, however, for rest and relax- tion. Port visits were the best times unwind and experience new and ex- iting cultures. Sunday picnics on The ' antail, steel beaches as they are called, broke up the weeks of under- way. The Administrative Support Unit, Bahrain gave crew members the opportunity to eat a greasy cheese- burger and fries, work out in the gym, and cheap cold beer. Some of the things we all take for granted were sorely missed this de- ployment: watching a movie or ball game, reading a book or just doing nothing at all. Nothing is missed until you have it and it is taken away. 57 Steel beaches And on the seventh day they will rest. Holiday routine, sleeping until lunch, and going to the beach. Steel beach that is. Cheeseburgers, Baked Beans, Potato Chips, Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, free sodas and a theme were on the MENU. There was a Hat Day, Wild T-Shirt day and a Kite Flying Day as some of the theme s. Each week a different department would provide personnel to set up and clean up, along with cooks, for the grill. The Kite Contest was the most in- teresting Steel beach. The Captain took a big chance by stating the kites had to be built out of materials found onboard. Luckily the XO wasn ' t miss , ing his door, again. A panel of judgef] voted on the Best Kite.

Limited space and limited weights didn ' t give the weight lifters much to work with. Long lines to use the Lifecycle and Liferower made it frustrating to others. Yet where there is a will there is a way. ASU Bahrain offered a wide range of sports such as bowling, basketball, volleyball, rac- quetball, free weights, nautilus equip- ment, a swimming pool, and the room to run miles without traveling in circles. Two of our volleyball teams finished first and second in the ghost volleyball tournament at ASU. It took strong will and determinition to exer- cise on a regular basis but it was all worth it. j PF vi9 M ' SSi B B ' . n% l The Senior Chiefs show your never to old.

There are 10 Islands in all, stretching over a distance of 400 mi. The popula- tion is Portuguese-Speaking and is mainly of Portuguese descent. Sao Mi- guel, with an area of 288 mi. is the larg- est and most populated island. All of the islands, with the exception of San- ta Maria are of volcanic origin, built of lava and volcanic ash and most are subject to severe earthquakes. Average temperature on the islands is 60 de- grees in January and 72 degrees in August. Rainfall is heavy on the wind- ward side of the islands, averaging 30- 60 inches annually. Most falls in the winter when severe gales may occur. Bananas, Pineapples Subtropic Fruits are grown at the lower altitude In the higher altitudes, temperate ce eals and fruits prevail and dairying h; recently been introduced. The popul, tion, engaged mainly in agriculture declining because of the migration Mainland Portugal and the Uni States. During WWII, Portugal gr ted great Britain and the U.S. permi sion to build military bases. The U.I built large bases at Lajese on Terceir and near Vila De Porto on Santa M; ia. The former remains a vital NA ' air base staffed by Americans and Poi tuguese forces, while the latter has come a great international airport, 62 63 Palma De Mallorca Population: 319,620(1982 Est) Palma De Mallorca is the captial and principal city of the Balaeric Islands. They belong to Spain in the Western Mediterranean Sea, 100 miles off the Coast of Cathalonia. Palma is a commercial and tourist city as well as the Administrative Center of the is- land. Exports from the port are crucial to the economy which include cereals, wine, fruit, oil, flour and leather goods. The city has become a favorite resort for tourist and artists from all over the world. Points of interest include Bellv- er Castle, a Gothic Cathedral, and sev- eral museums and art galleries. Palma is thought to be founded in 2nd Cen- tury B.C. and was colonized by the Ro- mans. It was later ruled by the Byzan- tines and the Arabs. It was annexed to Aragon in 1229 and became part of Spain in 1469. The city has felt a rapid growth in the 20 Century due to and increase in tourism. 64 HHI I 1, 1 1 1 1 . . . . J 1 66 Suez Canal The Suez Canal, located at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and Africa, is one of the world ' s most important waterways. It is a sea-level artifi- cial waterway that was opened in 1869. It crosses the narrow isthmus of Suez joining Africa and Asia and permits vessels to travel between the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and the In- dian Ocean by using water from the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea. The canal is owned and operated by Egypt and has a total length of 105 miles. It handles approx. 60 vessels a day at an average cost of approx. $250,000 one way. Transit time averages about 15 hours. The canal is strategically and economically important because it shortens the distance be- tween Europe and the Far East. The U.S.S.R. uses the canal to move its Navy from the Medi- terranean to the Indian Ocean. In 1983, the canal carried 283,294,000 tons of freight, of which pe- troleum accounted for 38%. One of the more interesting stories of the history of the idea for the canal is that in 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte ordered a survey made in 1799 for a direct canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, but the project was aban- doned when the French survey team mistakenly concluded that a sea-level canal was impossible. The actual construction of the canal was com- pleted in 1869 at more than double the originally estimated cost of $41,860,000. During the Six Day War (1967) between Egypt and Israel, ships were sunk by Egypt to block the waterway and it remained closed for 8 years. Israeli shipping rights were not restored until the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty on March 26, 1979. In 1980, 21,603 vessels passed through the canal. That same year, the first of several tunnels under the canal was opened to traffic. Abu Dhabi, Djibouti, and Bahrain Population 50,000 (1973 Est) Abu Dhabi is the capital of the Abu Dhabi Sheikhdom on the southeast shore of the Persian Gulf and the capital of the United Arab Emi- rates. Its climate is arid, with an average annual rainfall of 2.4 in. Income from oil production has transformed it from a fishing village in the 1960 ' s into a high rise city with an international airport and an artificial harbor. Djibouti Population 323,000 (1981 Est) Djibouti is a tiny republic situated just north of the Horn of Africa, on the Strait of Bab El- Mandeb, the gateway to the Red Sea. Nearly 90% of Djibouti is volcanic desert. It is one of the hottest places on earth with an aver- age annual temperature of 90 degrees. The aver- age annual rainfall is less than 5 in. and vegeta- tion is sparse. Salt extracted from the sea is Dji- bouti ' s major resource. Bahrain is an independent Emirate com- prising a group of low lying islands located in the Persian Gulf. The major island, Bahrain, is about 30 miles long and 10 miles wide. About 40% of the country ' s population live in Manama, the capital city. The climate is hot in Bahrain and rainfall is sparse. Summer temperate averages 93 degrees and winter temperature averages 63 de- grees. The majority of the population is Arab and nearly 70% are native-born. Arabic is the official language though Persian and English are under- stood widely. Islam, practiced by 95% of the pop- ulation, is the official religion. Bahrain continues to be a central oil-pro- ducing center but reserves are small and will probably be depleted by the end of the 20th cen- tury. Major efforts are being made in anticipa- tion of this. A large oil refinery was built to pro- cess oil piped from Saudi Arabia along with plants making steel pellets. It has also become a major regional banking and communications center. Dates and Alfalfa are grown extensively and also rice, citrus fruits and vegetables. Food must be imported. Bahrain gained independence from British protection in 1971 and elected not to join the United Arab Emirates. A constitution was adopt- ed in 1973 but the National Assembly was dis- solved in 1975 and the Emir has since ruled by degree. After the Iranian Revolution (1979) Iran revived a long standing claim to Bahrain. ti m- H ' Mf aip ■ t; ' ,. RR Malaga Population: 503,251 (1981) Malaga is the capital of Malaga province in southern Spain. It is located at the mouth of the Guadalmedina River on the Mediterranean Sea. The city is an important port .and agricultural center. The main exports are iron ore, wine, and other foodstuffs. Industries include the manu- facturing of textile, food products, building ma- terials and fertilizer. Tourism is of major eco- nomic importance. Points of interest include Arab fortresses and cathedrals. Malaga was settled by Phoenicians during the 12th Century B.C. then held by the Romans and after 711, the Moors. It served as a Moorish capital of Granada until 1487 when Spanish Christians captured the city. M: ifi , ■ - Im , 11- . Bermuda Population: 58,000 (1985 Est) Located in the Atlantic Ocean approximate- ly 600 miles east of Cape Hatteras, Bermuda ' s a self-governing British Colony. It is a 21 mile chain of more than 300 small islands. The main islands are Bermuda, Somerset, Boaz, Ireland, St. George ' s and St. David ' s. Only 20 of Bermuda ' s islands are inhabited. Their coral origins have made the beaches fa- mous among tourists. The average temperature is 70 degrees and rainfall averages 57 inches. The islands have no rivers or lakes so the inhabitants depend on rain for water. Homes have to have gutters or pipes to take water from the roofs into underground tanks. Hotels have to have their own disalinization plants. Most of Bermuda ' s population are descen- dants of slaves brought from Africa during the 18th century. The white population is mostly British and English is the main language. The economy is dependent upon tourists with com- mercial fishing and agriculture being of minor importance. After their discovery in 1503, the islands re- mained unsettled until 1609 when British colo- nists settled there. It was formally announced a British Colony in 1684. Bermuda became self governing in 1968. In the 70 ' s there became a great upheaval due to racial tension. In 1977 the government strove to eliminate racial discrimi- nation among the people. At that time, and since then, they have banded together to fight for their independence from Britain. 72 Homecoming On October 30, 1989 the plan of the day stat- ed, Only 180 days to go! From the beginning homecoming was the day everyone involved look- ed forward to. Almost every letter talked of that faithful day when loved ones would be back to- gether. Children would ask their mothers, When is Daddy coming home? which was fol- lowed by a single word, Soon. It wasn ' t always easy trying to find the bright spot in a darkened day, but now it is over. It ' s time to enjoy the time we have together. We don ' t dwell on the long six months of separa- tion. We look for the good times to come and en- joy each other ' s company. A wise man once said, You never miss anything until you have it, and it is taken away. We all learned not to take our families for granted. Let ' s not ever forget that.
