She was named in honor of Corporal Anthony Peter DAMATO, United States Marine Corps, who was killed in the Eniwetok Campaign of 1944 and posthumously granted the Congressional Medal of Honor. As she was completed after the war, during a period of general disarmament, DAMATO spent her first few years in independent operations. The Korean Conflict in 1950, however, revived the Navy ' s interest in anti-sub- marine warfare and convoy protection, work for which DAMATO was originally in- tended. As a unit of the United States Atlantic Fleet, DAMATO has sailed in virtually all the waters in and around the Atlantic Ocean, and has visited many of its ports. She also makes regular cruises to the Mediterranean. In January 1961, she was dispatched after the SS SANTA MARIA, which had been seized by Portuguese insurgents as a political manuever. Their action had been quickly labled as piracy, attracting world attention. DAMATO was instrumental in the final disposition of the ship and her return to her rightful owners. In 1962 the ship participated in the Cuban Blockade, and in the fall of 1965 was sent to the Dominican Republic during that country ' s political crisis. DAMATO underwent a major overhaul in 1964, during which her antisubmarine warfare capabilities were greatly enchanced by the installation of Drone Anti-sub- marine Helicopter (DASH), which has since been remo ved, and the Anti-Submarine Rocket (ASROC). She subsequently became the flagship for Destroyer Division TWO TWO TWO. In July 1967, following two months of refresher training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, DAMATO deployed to Vietnam for seven months to see her first wartime action. She traveled over 58,000 miles and was fired on nine times. She was hit twice by enemy shore batteries on September 13, but no one was injured. She returned to Norfolk on January 30, 1968. DAMATO got underway for South America in July 1968 to become part of UNITAS IX forces. The annual UNITAS cruises provide the opportunity for various American navies to coordinate and perfect their capabilities for combined operations. DAMATO ' s officers and men served as goodwill ambassadors in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Ecuador. They drew praise from military and civilians alike for their conduct, as they always do. The ship returned to the United States on November 4, 1968. After a four-month break, DAMATO got up steam on the morning of February 24, 1969, for six weeks of arduous training on Springboard 1969. These annual exercises in the Caribbean, put a fine edge on an already sharp crew. After a month ' s stay in Norfolk, DAMATO got underway for another Mediterranean deployment on May 9, 1969. On July 1, 1969, DAMATO became part of Destroyer Squadron THREE SIX and Destroyer Division THREE SIX TWO. As far as we know, navies originated in the Mediterranean Sea, which separates three continents, abounds in long peninsulas and islands, and has favorable weather during most of the year. The Mediterranean, then, marks the beginning of sea power, where maritime trade, piracy, and naval war- fare have flourished since early times. Although the lands which border the Mediter- ranean have recently declined somewhat in importance, the seas themselves maintain a strategic importance. The pr esence of units of the United States Navy in this al- most landlocked body lend moral support to the people of the Mediterranean, and help keep the seas free. ' . ' . ' f ESS If ' ' -. ' - ' COMMANDER LAURENCE THOMAS FUREY COMMANDING OFFICER BnimMuuiLiim .i. THE CAPTAIN OF HIS SHIP AND OF HIS MEN Commander FUREY was born in Seattle, Washington on 7 January 1930 and is the son of Captain and Mrs. Robert H.

Fuller ITALY Since DAMATO spent a good deal of time in a number of Italian and Sicilian ports, the men got a good idea of what the people and country were like. Genoa, in the north, was Damato ' s first port. The birth place of Christopher Colum- bus, it is a prime example of the industrial north. When we visited Naples, many went to Rome and Pompeii. Brindisi in the south and Augusta Bay and Riposto in Sicily were smaller towns, and the men learned that life in a small town is much the same the world over. Excellent tours were available everywhere, and many took advantage of them. Shopping was excellent in Italy, and a number of people purchased leather goods and jewelry.

LT First division is the division primarily responsible for the exterior appearance of the ship; un- like most other divisions, it is evident at a glance whether or not the deck apes are doing their jobs. Thei r responsibility, however, encompasses far more than merely chipping and painting. They are responsible for all theship ' smooring equipment, including lines, the ground tackle and associated appendages. All theship ' slifesaving gear, including the motor whaleboat, life rafts, life jackets, and man overboard rescue equipment fall within their domain. The equipment used to replenish stores, fuel, and ammunition is maintained and largely operated by boatswain ' s mates and deck seamen. When underway, the deck seamen are the eyes of the ship, and they play an important part in its maneuvering. It should be evident that, to meet these many and varied commitments, long hours of hard work are required. In todays Navy of steam and steel, the deck seaman are truly the iron men of the forgotten days of wood and canvas. Mavis L. M. SA Zahradnicek D. SN Dickerson R. B. SA Renick F. SA Dolan M. J.

Everyone con- sidered Malta and excellent port because of its beauty, its varied night life and its friendly people. There were fine swimming facilities at Malta ' s many beaches, and water sports were a popular pastime. Since Malta is a favorite tourist spot among Euro- peans, Damato sailors had an opportunity to meet people from all over Europe. Valletta ' s harbor is among the most beautiful in the world, as these pictures attest. Church of Our Lady of Victories Postcard Shot of Our Anchorage at Dockyard Creek The Welcome Mat was out .

BTC BSM DIVISION Reeder G. R. MM1 Leaver S. C. LTJG B M division literally makes the ship move. Fresh water, electricity, heating, and cooling are all direct products of this division. The division consists of two distinct rates, Boiler Technicians and Machinist Mates. The BT ' s are responsible for the main- tenance and steaming of the ship ' s four boilers. It is here that the steam is produced and sent on its way to the ships engines, service turbo generators, evaporators, hot water heaters, and various pumps which support the entire main propulsion system. When this steam leaves the fire rooms the Machinist Mates take over. They are re- sponsible for the proper amount of steam admitted to the ship ' s steam turbines for the main engines. The maintenance and repair of steam driven pumps, support of main feed systems, turbine oil system and condensation system all fall in their realm of responsibility. The ship ' s water for the boilers and fresh water for the crew are made directly from the ocean by two sets of evaporators which are operated also by the Machinist Mates. The B M Oil King transfers fuel oil and keeps track of how much we have on board. He also treats the boilers to keep them within proper chem- ical limits. Jenkins D. W. FN Lichtenberger R. L.

LTJG R DIVISION R division consists of a number of separate gangs including Shipfitters and Damage Controlmen, Electricians, IC men, and A gang : The Shipfitters ' shop takes care of all welding and repairs which require work with metals. This could mean welding a crack in a fuel tank, or repairing chairs on the mess decks. The electricians work with all the electrical systems on the ship and are responsible for much of the electrical gear on board. Their job may be as complicated as repairing a delicate switch- board or it can be only the changing of a light bulb. The IC men are responsible for maintaining and repairing all internal communications equipment, and this gear must be kept in good shape at all times. They also show the crews ' movies in the evening. Auxiliary equipment on the ship is kept up by A gang . These men repair machinery throughout the ship, and also keep air conditioning and refrig- eration systems operational. The Damage Controlmen maintain all DC gear in an operational status and are used for training the crew in procedures for fighting fires and combating other emergencies. Obviously, R division ' s responsibilities are wide spread, but a constant team effort by all results, in getting the work done. Bursey R. B. EMI Runion M. E. IC2 Benken R. L. DC2 Fedynich J.

In general terms, this requirement means that CIC must maintain an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the disposition of all friendly and enemy forces. Radarmen of 01 Division operate all types of radar and associated equipment, conduct checks required to ensure that the equipment is fully operational, and assist in repairing such equipment.
