Throughout our past deployment in Southeast Asia, the men of COCHRANE exhibited professionalism and dedication in the face of intense combat operations. Indeed, the Greek philosopher Epictetus had such men in mind when he said Difficulties are things that show what men are. As one looks back, it is obvious that COCHRANE stood head and shoulders above every ship deployed. DDG- 21. . . .SECOND TO NONE. We are second to none because each and every man has shown the spirit, pride, and determination to do his job inspite of the adversity we experienced. We all depended upon each other, and together we made COCHRANE the best. No one division functioned alone; Gunners Mates depended upon Machinery Repairmen, Operations Specialists depended upon Electronics Technicians, Boiler Technicians depended upon Machinists Mates, and everyone depended upon the cooks and Supply. Hand in hand we lived true to the traditions established by sailors of centuries past. Many years from now we may look back upon top. . . .TOGETHER. this year and say proudly, .we cut it with the best and came out on EDWARD LULL COCHRANE VICE ADMIRAL, USN 1892-1959 USS COCHRANE is the first ship of the Navy to bare the name of Vice Admiral Edward Lull Cochrane, USN. Though she is the seventh guided missile destroyer to employ the single arm TARTAR launcher, she is the second ship of the class to have the bow mounted sonar. Her complement consists of 22 officers and 285 enlisted men who are provided with modern accommodations. Built by Pudget Sound Bridge and Dry Dock Company of Seattle, Washington, COCHRANE had about 1,- 500,000 manhours of work performed on her during the 31 months of construction from the laying of the keel to the day of delivery. COCHRANE carries the most modern weapons afloat for destroyers of her class, giving her the capability to deal effectively with any threat on the high seas. Considerably larger than the destroyers we have known in the past, COCHRANE is a fast, highly maneuverable ship. Her automatic combustion control power plant enables her to carry with great speed and mobility any task to which she is assigned. Her powerful sonar, ASROC, and torpedo installations equip her to detect, fight, and kill submarines at extended ranges. With her TARTAR guided missile she is capable of intercepting and destroying enemy aircraft many miles from the ship. She is equipped with the most modern communications and electronics installations, and not only can she swiftly detect and track targets but she can rapidly deliver the missiles and projectiles against these targets, be they in the air, on the sea, or under the sea, or on land. This modern guided missile destroyer is equipped to meet the challenges of today and the future. USS COCHRANE joined Cruiser-Destroyer Force, United States Pacific Fleet in March 1964, and became the flagship of Destroyer Division TWO FIFTY TWO. She is presently a member of Destroyer Squadron TWENTY-FIVE of Destroyer Flotilla FIVE based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. COMDESRON TWO-FIVE ? Kr . nt .v, vS I [j td H i! K! tfl CAPT. JOHN E.

The Duke of Wellington 1769 HO LI DA] ■ott-- ' Ul ROUTINE 37 KAOHSIUNG Taiwan is an island about 233 miles long and from 70 to 80 miles wide. It is separated from the Chinese mainland by a strait varying in width from 90 to 220 miles. The city of Kaohsiung is situated in Southwestern Taiwan, 325 miles east of Hong Kong and 552 miles north of Manila. Plans for the development of Kaohsiung as a naval port were formulated by the Japanese following the cession of Taiwan (Formosa) to Japan in 1895. Large scale construction work in the development of the harbor facilities was not started until 1908; however, by 1920, Kaohsiung became one of the two most important ports, and the largest harbor on the island. During World War II, the Japanese used the harbor as the primary naval and supply base for staging their military advances to the south and southeast. Consequently, the port was a key air target and suffered heavy destruction from allied bombing, but was restored to full operation by 1949. At present the harbor is one of the busiest in Asia, since it handles about two-thirds of Taiwan ' s total volume of imports and exports. The total cargo ton- nage is now exceeding 15 million tons per year. A completed second harbor entrance project was initiated in 1967 and will be in full operation by 1975. This accomplishment, together with the recent completion of the 12 year harbor ex- tension project, will expand the port area to six times the facilities existing in 1958. Headquarters for the Republic of China Navy and Marine Corps are located in Tsoying, north of the city of Kaohsiung. TAIWAN If you were able to spend thirteen days in Kaohsiung without getting into trouble, then you are a man and not a boy. D. P.

Rice. Jack Rice would not have liked us to carry on and go to alot of trouble over him. He was not a man for ostentation and ceremony. Yet it would be impossi- ble not to take the time to recognize someone as unforgetable as he was. Anyone who knew him even briefly could not help remembering him. He lived on a large scale and left his mark wherever he went. He was outwardly gruff, but actually gentle. He liked to minimize his own efforts, but he was highly knowledgeable and capable. He loved to joke and could find humor in any situa- tion. He was within a few months of retiring from a successful Navy career, yet he was not yet 38 years old. He was not a perfect man, but he was honest, trustworthy, and dedicated to his beliefs. The loss to his family is tremendous. The loss to the Navy is indeed significant. But to those of us, his shipmates, those of us who lived, worked, and laughed closely with Jack Rice, it is par- ticularly startling to realize how much he touched us all. Our lives aboard COCHRANE are not quite the same anymore, because we have lost a very big man. We cannot bring him back, but we can be proud to have felt his friendship. I know I speak for all of you when I say I will miss him. CDR. R.K.U.
