She is the twentieth guided missile destroyer of the Charles F. Adams Class, the seventh to employ the single arm tartar launcher, second to be fitted with bow mounted sonar, and one of four to receive the Navy Tactical Data System. She is the first ship in the Navy to bear the name of Vice Admiral Edward Lull Cochrane. Rear Admiral Cochrane was appointed chief of the bureau of ship's November 1, 1942, where he directed the Navy's shipbuilding and maintenance program during the remainder of World War II. During this time he was promoted to Vice Admiral. In November, 1946, he became Chief of Material Division in the office of the secretary of the Navy. He retired in November, 1947. Ton for ton, COCHRANE is one of the most capable warships on the high seas. She is capable of dealing with any threat - air, surface, or subsurface. She can use her sophisticated radars to detect targets, track them with her computerized tactical data system, then destroy enemy aircraft and missiles with her supersonic missiles or rapid fire guns. Her sonar, torpedoes, and anti-submarine rockets equip COCHRANE to fight submarine at extended ranges. She has the most modern communications and electronics installations. She is propelled by an automatic control high pressure turbine power which provides both speed and maneuverability. She spent countless hours off the coastlof Viet Nam in support of U.S. forces there. She has also steamed nearly 10,000 miles in support of recovery operations for NASA's manned space flight program. She has deployed nine times to the Western Pacific, once to the Southern Pacific and returned from her eleventh cruise, to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans, in May, 1984. COCHRANE completed its fifth overhaul in June 1982. In September 1983, COCHRANE was called to the seventh fleet, where she is a unit of destroyer squadron fifteen. USS COCHRANE is forward deployed, operating out of Yokosuka, Japan, under the overseas family residency program. UF Wi. La 4: 5 E1 is CCMMANDI Cr OFFICER DENNIS C.

' x 5 II ALOHA, HAW X Y, W ,,,, The Hawaiian Islands have been called Paradise by many. The crystal blue surf, bright sunshine, and lush tropical vegetation attribute to that description. The Waikiki night life, beautiful girls on the beach, and the sightseeing made Hawaii one of the best liberty ports in the Pacific. COCHRANE was stationed at Pearl Harbor upon her com- missioning in 1964 and operat- ed from there until October 1983. As she departed the islands, many members of her crew threw floral leis into the harbor, signifying their desire to return to this tropical paradise again someday. H517 1 -2? ' K -Y . .161-i'w':'s.-. ' X 7 J APA COCHRANE arrived at Yokosuka Naval Base 10 October 1984 after a 14 day transit from Pearl Harbor, HI. For about one month, she stayed pier side and the crew began adjusting to its new homeport. Many crewmembers immediately took ad- vantage of special services tours and just going out on their own exploring The Land of the Rising Sun . The ship also began organizing ships teams because many crewmembers wanted to get involved with the base activities. Japan is a very beautiful country, rich in culture, and history, and landmarks which gives one seemingly endless possibilities of things to do. From Yokosuka, Yokohama is only 28 minutes away, and the largest city in the world, Tokyo, is only 43 minutes away. All in all COCHRANE has adjusted to its new life in Japan very well. f' 1 LA DOF sy Beauty and business n-x iii 4.- Towers and showers Festivials and friends ss 5 9 UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT Refueling a naval vessel is not a simple task. It requires patience, imagination, and most importantly, the finely tuned skills of navy profession- als to guarantee safe comple- tion. The speed and course of both vessels must be the same and the watch team must always stay alert for the unexpected. The men on the rigging team work quickly, but safely, to get the proper equipment in position. Finally, the refueling team orches- trates the filling of COCHRANES 14 tanks with close to a quarter of a million gallons of fuel. Often supplies are transferred between ships in the same fashion. During the .I.O. cruise COCHRANE participated in unreps at least twice a week. R VERTICAL REPLE ISHMENT Vertrep is the most common method of transferring small amounts of goods such as personnel, food, or mail. The call of flight quar- ters always lifts the crewls spirits as sailors anticipate a letter from that special someone. ....,-,. 5 1'-'31 F f 3 W Aff!

The sun is slowly setting as crowds of weary sailors gather upon the main decks. Gradually an air of anticipation falls upon the crowd. A joyful noise breaks through the eerie North Arabian Sea silence as Cambridge takes the stage on COCHRANES 0-1 level aft. V Cambridge, an eight member musical group from Salt Lake City, Utah, arrived by helicopter to present a concert for USS COCHRANE, USS PRAIRIE, and USS KNOX. Sponsored by the Department of Defense, Cambridge was making a concert tour of military facilities in the West Pacific area. The groups repetoire included country western music, show tunes, and ever popular rock and roll. Their 2 hour program helped ease the tensions and lift the spirits of sailors so far away from home. 1' 4 .52 x V-1. 7 l I I r r 1 ,W ' n 'XV f .ggw f 2. ynw nfs?

After all, it is hard to spend much money onboard ship. So for one night, and one night only, those with the bucks could call on Lady Luck. There were a variety of games offered, from Black Jack to computer chuck-a-luk. Some may have lost, some may have Won, but for the price - it sure was fun. .5 I ss f Q O Wait a minute, let me check these cards again. It says here somewhere the dealer 15 always supposed to win. 20TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIO March 24, 1984 marked an important milestone for COCHRANE as she turned 20 years old. Despite our location in the middle of the North Arabian Sea, a celebration was definitely in order. The festivities started with a 20 lap run around the 01 level. The winner, MSB Garcia, out the COCHRANE birthday cake at a ceremony on the EDF. Finally the day ended with a 20 gun salute utilizing' illumination star shells. The Lord will get me through this one. Smokers involve getting in a ring with someone who desires to strike you repeatedly in the face with a pair of 16 ounce boxing gloves in three one minute rounds of aggravated assault. Twice during the Indian Ocean deployment the crew of COCHRANE had a boxing smoker. Potential pugilists had the opportunity to show their stuff in the ring. Although the battles often released months of penned up tension and an unmeasurable amount of frustration generated from being at sea for extended periods of time, wounds were seldom more than a few bruises or a bloody nose. The participants and spectators kept their good sportsmanship throughout both boxing extravaganzas. '12 gg Don't worry sir, I can't take them all on.

The brick building was badly damaged from the constant sea breeze. COCHRANE provided paint, brushes and manpower to preserve the building's interior and exterior surfaces. The whole project took less than 10 hours due to the hard but rewarding work of those participating. It was our way of saying Thank You to the city of Patong for the best liberty of our cruise.

BO CA BOAT RESCUE Rescued victims on board safe and sound. COCHRANE deck hands pull the boat along side. The disabled craft. During operations in the Philippine Sea, COCHRANE came upon an outrigger canoe adrift fifty miles from land. Her crew of three Filipino fishermen had been stranded for three days due to engine failure. The fishermen were taken aboard COCHRANE, given food and drink, and checked for injuries while COCHRAN E sailors worked on the fishing boat's engine. When it became evident that the engine was beyond timely repair, the fishermen were flown by helicopter to the USS MIDWAY QCV-41, for later transfer to Cubi point Naval Air Station in the Republic of the Philippines. The fishermen are living testimony of the Na.vy's helping hand. All hands take part in the rescue .f-+.qw- , ,.

ODE TO A SNIPE Now each of us from time to time has looked upon the sea and watched the warships pulling out to keep our country free. An' most of us have read a book or heard a lusty tale about the men who sail these ships through lightning, wind and hail. But there's place within each ship that stories never reach and there's a special breed of man that legends rarely teach. It's down below the water line, it takes a living tollg a hot metallic living room that sailors call the hole, It houses engines run by steam that make the screws go 'roundg a place of fire and heat that beats your spirits down. Where boilers make a hellish roar and blood of angry steam, they're armored gods without remorse that haunt your every dream. They have not time for man or God nor tolerance for fear. Their honor pays no living thing the tribute of a tear. For there's not much that men can do that these men haven't done, beneath the deck - deep in the hole - to make the engines run. A constant threat from boiler fires is like a living doubt, that any minute would with scorn escape and rub you out. Where turbines are like tortured souls alone and lost in hell when ordered from above somewhere to answer every bell. The men who keep the life-fires lit and make the engines run are strangers to the world of light and rarely see the sun. An' every breath of every day they stand their watch in hell. For if the fire should ever fail the ship's a useless well. They're locked below like men foredoomed who hear no battle cry, it's just assumed that if we're hit the men below will die. There's not much diff'rence in the hole whatever war may bring, for threats of violent, ugly death down there's a common thing. Every day's a war for Snipes when gauges all read red, twelve hundred pounds of heating steam can kill you mighty dead. So every man down in the hole has learned to hate so well, that when you speak to them of fear their laughter's heard in hell. Sweat-soaked men fight down below in super-heated air to keep their ship alive and well though no one knows they're there. An' they'll fight strong for ages on 'til warships sail no more, through boiler's heat and deadly mist and hellish turbine roar. I can talk about this place and try to make you see - the hopeless life of men down there 'cause one of them is me. -UNKNOWN 61 B is for boilers and we've got four. The boiler technicians are responsible for the care and 4 feeding of these massive power plants which produce steam for propulsion and auxillary uses. BT's also maintain the oil and water test lab, the gauge calibration shop, and are in charge of refueling equipment and operations. B'1 s work long hours under gruelling' conditions, so when they finally get a chance to bust loose , they play as hard as they work.

AIS Division deals primarily in the searching, tracking, classifying, and, if need be, destroying of enemy submarines. AIS Division is made up of three Navy ratings: Sonar Technician General Surface QSTC-PSD, Gunner's Mate Technical fGMT'Sj, and Torpedomen fTM'Sj. The STG'S are responsible for searching, tracking, and classifying of the submarines. The GrMT'S are responsible for the maintenance of the ASROC Missiles and launcher. The TM'S ensure the torpedoes are in good condition and ready to fire. All three rates work together as a team. Without each other, they would never complete COCHRANE'S search and destroy mission. s l l GMT2 Youngquist Qfront-backj STG2 WellsfSTG1 MoyerfTM3 Bartila STG3 Kenney s'rG2 Moody STG2 Frye 1.5 9 K. ,y 'W ai ,Ea W qw ,v GMT3 Eddy f'-X, 1-In XA ' 1 ,J 4-' 1K F ' - , P ,, P-au x I K -76, fi!!

Radiomen accomplish their tasks using a complex network of modern satellite communica- tions, teletype, voice and continuous wave CMorse Codej circuits. In a typical Indian Ocean deployment they will send, receive and route over 25,000 messages. Signalmen, at the other end of the spectrum, use age old nautical arts such as special flags, semaphore, and flashing light to keep the COCHRANE in touch with the ships and shore stations around. Signal- men also serve as aids to the navigator and are expert lookouts. RM2 Metz RM2 Jackson ENT NYY RM2 Fincher SOIL ff'1l5'f,.
