It is a record of a part of your life, in which you served honorably in the United States Navy and more particularly in the ships of Destroyer Squadron THIRTY-SIX. I hope you have enjoyed your cruise to the Mediterranean as much as I have enjoyed being with you. Good luck and smooth sailing. W. J.

After being launched on 21 November 1945 and com- missioned on 27 April 1946, the DAMATO operated inde- pendently until December 1947 when she joined Destroyer Squadron EIGHT as a full-fledged member of the Atlantic Fleet. In August and September of 1949, the Damato made a midshipman cruise to England and France. During the month of Nove mber the DAMATO went north to participate in cold weather operations in Arctic waters. In 1950 as a unit of Hunter-Killer Group ONE she made a Mediterranean training cruise. The cruise consisted of many fleet exercises and, of course, liberty in Mediter- ranean ports. By the end of October the DAMATO with Hunter-Killer Group ONE was homeward bound, exercising enroute, in operation CONVEX , an amphibious exercise. The DAMATO was then reassigned to Escort Destroyer Squadron FOUR and with the Squadron, took part in Hun- ter-Killer Operations in the South Atlantic. In September 1951 she departed for a short cruise to the Mediterranean returning to the United States by December of the same year. mained there until late December when she returned to the United States. 1957 began with Hunter-Killer operations for the DAMATO. One two week trip took her to Bermuda and an- other cruise made New York City a part of call. On 12 June 1957 the ship participated in the International Naval Review at Hampton Roads. During the summer of 1957 the DAMATO was a part of Midshipmen Training Cruise ALFA that made goodwill visits to Santos, Brazil, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. On 24 March 1958 the ship departed for the Medi- terranean. After visiting Athens, and Iskenderun the ship became part of the Levant Patrol. She transmitted the Suez Canal and joined Commander Middle East Forces in the Persian Gulf. During this tour the DAMATO visited Bahrain, Aden, Ras Tanura, Das Island, Abu Bhabi, and Massawa. On return from this patrol the ship visited Cannes and Genoa. The Genoa visit was ended abruptly by the Leb- anese Crisis. The ship remained off the coat of Lebanon until September when she returned to the United States. In January 1960 the DAMATO participated in Opera- tion Springboard in the Carribbean Sea. Between opera- tions and exercises the ship found time to visit San Juan, Ciudad Trujillo, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. This cruise was followed by operation PHIBEK , a major amphibious ex- ercise off the coast of North Carolina. By June the DAMATO was again ready for her regular overhaul in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The DAMATO participated in CONVEX III in the begin- ning of 1952 consisting of Hunter-Killer and Convoy Escort exercises held in an area that stretched from New England to the Coast of Mexico. In August 1952 the Damato was awarded the Battle Efficiency Plaque for fiscal year 1952. This award, made by Commander Destroyers U. S. Atlantic Fleet, is made annually to those few ships which, on the basis of competitive exercise scores, performance of as- signed combat, fleet exercised missions, and general repu- tation, show superior qualifications of battle readiness. In 1953 the ship was once more sent to Europe, this time the DAMATO was attached to the Hunter-Killer Group that took part in NATO ' s Operation Mariner . From September until November she made good will stops at Plymouth, Algiers, Izmir, Naples, Athens, and the Azores. In January of 1954 the DAMATO once again partici- pated in operations in the Carribbean. This was followed by a cruise through the Pillars of Hercules to the Mediterranean Sea. Here, as before, the ship underwent rigorous training with the fleet and also participated in operation Key- stone , the largest naval operation of the year. Various exercises and operations kept the ship busy until August of 1956 at which time she departed again for duty with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. She re- It was during this yard period that the present Com- manding Officer, CDR V. L. Cassani, Jr., reported aboard. Upon leaving the shipyard the DAMATO proceeded to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for another round of refresher training. January 1961 was ushered in by operation CONVEX for the DAMATO. This was an ASW convoy protection ex- ercise which was to be followed by Operation Spring- board . On 23 January 1961, just as Springboard com- menced, the ship was advised of the piracy aboard the SS SANTA MARIA. The DAMATO then took part in one of the strangest sea sages of our country, the Pursuit of the SANTA MARIA. The officers and men of the DAMATO were instrumental in the search for the final disposition of the SANTA MARIA. After the pirate chase and some liberty in Recife, Brazil the ship was assigned to Task Force Bravo whose mission is to develop ASW Tactics. The DAMATO like all U. S. Destroyers, is a deadly weapon in war and a strong deterrent for peace It is our hope that our weapons will remain powerful deterrents and not become the powerful killers they were designed to be. .V ,J S VINCENT L. CASSANI, JR. Commander, USN Commanding Officer Commander Vincent L.
