Hhlony The U.S. S. Conquest QMSO-4885 was born in Tacoma, Washington in the yards of Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation. The keel was laid in March of 1953 and com- missioned as a unit of the U. S. Navy on july 20, 1955. Lt. E. L. Davis USN took first command of the..Conquest. Most of the water passing under her keel since that time has been in Southern California operating areas except for the early Fall of 1956 with a trip to Acapulco, Mexico. In March 1957 found the Conquest on her first deployment to Westpac. The Conquest's second birthday was celebrated on july 20, 1957 in Sasebo, japan with her second Commanding Officer, LT. Stansfield TURNER USN. Upon returning to the United States the Conquest underwent her first shipyard overhaul in San Diego, California. In june of 1958 her present Commanding Officer LCDR Russell F, WILSON USN relieved as Commanding Officer. ln October of 1958 found the Conquest off Vancouver Island, British Columbia, taking part in mine- sweeping operations with the Royal Canadian Forces. After returning to Long Beach for another shipyard overhaul the Conquest again pointed her bow toward WestPac in August of 1959 with visits to Yokosuka, Sasebo, Fukuoka, japan. Next she headed for Pusan and Chin Hae, Korea to conduct mine- sweeping operations with the Korean Navy. After which she returned to japan and a visit to Osaka. With a rough trip through the straits of Formosa the Conquest headed for Keelung, Formosa. Hong Kong, British Crown Colony was her anchorage during the Holiday Seasons. She then proceeded for another operation in Thailand almost half way around the world before heading on courses for Long Beach via Subic Bay, P.I. , Guam, Midway, Pearl Harbor and after due speculation on time of arrival finally Long Beach. I U.S.S. CONQUEST MSO-488 SHIPS HISTORY The USS CONQUEST KMSO-4881, is a vital part of the Navys answer to the serious threat of mine warfare which might possibly be conducted against the United States of America. Built of wood and non-magnetic ma- terials the CONQUEST is constructed to enable her to safely sweep many types of mines available to an enemy. Her 171 foot long, 700 ton hull is powered by four Packard diesel engines of B00 horsepower each. There are normally SU enlisted men and live officers serving on board. Lieutenant E. L. DAVIS USN took first command at the birthplace of the CONQUEST which was Tacoma Washington in the yards of Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation. Construction began in March of 1953 and the CONQUEST was commissioned as a unit of the U.S. Navy on 20 luly 1955. She Joined the Mine Force Pacific Fleet and was home ported at Long Beach California Most of the water passing under her keel since that time has been in the Southern California operating areas but several extended cruises have already carried her to distant corners of the Pac fic In the early fall of 1955 a trip was made to Acapulco Mexico March 1957 found the CONQUEST de ploying to the Far East as a unit of the US Seventh Fleet The CONQUESTS second birthday was celebrated 20 Iuly 1957 in Sasebo lapan with her new commanding officer LT Stansfield TURNER US Navy Upon returning to the United States the CONQUEST underwent her first shipyard overhaul in San Diego California Operations off the coast of California continued through most of 1958 and LT Russell F WILSON USN relieved as Commanding Officer in Iune of that year During October the CONQUEST took part in minesweeplng operations with Royal Canadian forces off Vancouver Island Br1t1sh Columbia The first part of 1959 was spent n operations near Long Beach and a shipyard overhaul during March and April prepared the CONQUEST for her second trip to lapan in August of that year What the future holds for this fine ship is of course unknown However in the future as in the past the fighting spirit of the men who man her will enable this ship to fulfill any mission to which she may be assigned thus living up to the highest tradition of the Navy and her proud name USS CONQUEST reign fnrmuX its?

In April 1958 LCDR WILSON was ordered to the USS CQNQUEST QMSO 4881 and after a short course in M.ine ':Warfa.re at Yorktown, Virginia, took command in June 1958. Russell E. WILSON, LcDR, USN ln this , the most modern Navy in the World, with its great aircraft carriers, its nuclear- powered submarines, and its guided-missile Cruisers, there still remain a few wooden ships with their iron-men crews. This cruise book is testimony to the fact that not only do these vessels exist, but also that they still ply the oceans, The finest of these ships, I'm convinced, is the USS CONQUEST. The cruise pictured herein took seven months to complete, during which the CONQUEST and her crew traveled almost twenty thousand miles, visiting six foreign countries and a dozen or more foreign cities. These statistics are impressive, but they take on real significance only when one realizes the purpose of the cruise itself. As we traveled and worked and played, we served our country and the Free World by acting as a deterrent to further Communist aggression. We were, so to speak, junior ambassadors , representing the United States and the American way of life to the hundreds of people with whom we came into contact. You men of the CONQUEST ' sensed the importance of each man's influence, and each did his utmost to make our overall im- pression a good, lasting one. You established for yourselves, the ship, and those to follow a most enviable record, not only in exemplary conduct ashore, but also in winning friends for America. The achievement of any ship depends on the individual efforts and contributions of each member of the crew. The fact that the CONQUEST performed all her assignments, and per- formed them well, is a tribute to every man on board. I will long remember the CONQUEST, this cruise, and each of you. Moreover, I am indeed proud to have served with you. master school there also. From june 1943 until Septem- --1 S OFFICER I. B. GLAVIN, ENS., USNR xJSN OEET392 UTNEY9' L Y,,,. XEC UC E ,YAYNB R- R.

As in any life a heart is present, and figuratively speaking the Engineering Department is the heart of the CONQUEST. When the chips were down the Engineers were there to do the job, and an out- standing performance is history. I can state that the Engineers had put their best foot forward in any task undertaken and the Department expresses its warmest congratulations to the command, and our ship- mates for a most successful West Pac cruise.
