U.S. NAVY. Wilmer Paul Cook, born in Anapolis, Ivlaryland. 1 October 1932, attended high school in Annapolis, and the Naval Academy in 1952. Following his commissioning in June 1956, he entered flight training and was designated a Naval Aviator in October 1957 On two deployments to the Tonkin Gulf on the carriers COI STELLATION (CV-64) and CORAL SEA (CV-43) he flew over 300 missions, risking his life countless times, Upon the loss of the Squadron Commanding Officer and Executive Officer, he took command of Attack Squadron 155 and continued to lead his men on successful strikes against North Vietnamese targets. On 22 December 1967, LCDR Cook perished when his plane, the City of Annapolis, was hit by enemy fire while leading an air strike on supply routes between Vinh and Ha Tinh. His values and his reasons for service were expressed in in a conversation, I ' ll always go where my country sends me and will always do whatever it asks. Perhaps what I am doing may keep my two sons from going to war. Prior to his death, he received numerous medals for his heroism in the line of duty in connection with air attacks on active North Vietnamese missile sites and patrol craft. His decorations for valor include three Distinguished Flying Crosses, four Navy Commendation Medals, and five Air Medals f o; Meritorious Achievement. t COOK was built by Avondale Shipyards at WESTGO, Louisiana, USA, and was launched on 23 January 1971 After commissioning on 18 December 1971, COOK embarked on a 16,000 mile shake down cruise around South America and through the Straits of Magellan to her home in the Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Commanding Offi cers 2 July 1983- 19 October 1985 Captain Donald J. DeGreef Farewell . . As I reflect back on my tour as Commanding Officer, the only ttiing above all others that stands out in my memory is the caliber of professionalism on COOK. A ship is only metal and material. What makes it a great ship is its crew, and it ' s been my good fortune to sail with the very best. By design or by luck, COOK has always had the winners. This crew has strived together as a team and accomplished what others only dream of They have set the standard and are the reason why COOK will always be the finest, fastest, fighting frigate in the fleet.

Promise to write, and we ' ll see you in five months. 33 Philippines Philippines, an independent island nation on an archipelago of over 7100 tropical islands. Our visit centered in Subic Bay and Olongapo. Summer monsoons greeted us on our first visit; all drenching thunder showers and occassional glimps of the intense tropic sun added an exotic appeal to an already growing anticipation and excitement over the first port of call. After the exhausting pace of a warship underway, the warm smile and the open arms of the friendly islanders were a welcome experience. 35 ' ' ... ' .U 36 Crossing the line wog Day : : % For as long as there have been men at sea, there ' s been the age-old tradition of Crossing the Line Not every sailor gets the opportunity to cross the equator, for those who do remember it as quite an experience Before crossing the line they are knoviin as Slimy Pollyvi ' ogs and must go through an initiation to be worthy to wear the title of Trusty Shellback. King Neptune and Davy Jones leave their Kingdom of the Deep to watch over, and make sure only the most fit are accepted. It ' s all in fun and everyone had a great time. 37 Crossing the line sheiibacks mie Fee-Fie-Foe-Fum Look out Wog here we come.

Look out Wog here we come! Change of command r mjruiFit- The Change of Command Ceremony is a time- honored tradition which formally restates to the officers and enlisted men of the command, the continuity of command. It is a formal ritual conducted before the assembled company of the command. The change of command of a naval ship is unique in the world today: it is a transfer of total responsibility, authority and accountability from one individual to another. M 40 Hail and farewell W. ' 5!i«f% A ,|w .ft«r The change of command took place anchored in the North Arabian Sea. The water was calm, the sun intense, and the ceremony itself was brief and dignified. Everyone in the crew got out the whites, dressed in our finest, said our farewell to CAPT DEGREEF and hail to CDR Lang in the finest of naval tradition: a formal change of command. 41 Jambo Kenya Kenya, a republic of East Africa. A rugged and scenic equatorial nation, offered our sea worn sailors a welcome rest. The national parks; Tsavo, Salt Lick, and Amboseli are names we will long remember. The wildlife in the Savanna and nightlife in the casinos offered an unusual combination of fun and frolic. 43 Mombasa Keny. Mombasa, the only port of Kenya. Situated on Mombasa Island connected to the mainland by causeways and bridges. Its long history dates back to the 8th Century when the Arab traders settled there. Beach front resort hotels provided luxury setting for relaxation and sunbathing for the crew. 45 f ( ' Pakistan The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, in Urdu words meaning is Land of the Pure. Since its birth as a nation in August 14, 1947 when British India was partitioned, it has endured many social and political upheavals, including the separation and independence of East Pakistan which is now called Bangladesh. The teaching of Islam pervades the culture and affects the daily life of all its people. Pakistan has become one of the more prosperous of the developing nations. 47 BKM.-J. ' •. ,gjT p .. ' f ri..
