JL.. . .. , - SITUATION hOUgh more than half of the Navy's recruits come from the . American midwest and the Great Lakes littoral, the Navy has historically been hampered geographically in projecting its live image and its message into the nation's heartland. Because they live far inland, residents are O largely unaware of Seapower's importance and vital roles of the Navy and Marine Corps in meeting today's four ocean challenge. With the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, however, have come new opportunities for carrying Seapower's dramatic, living story to res- idents of the large cities lining North America's inland seas and for in- spiring needed support and understanding for our nation's sea services. Good will visits in foreign ports are routine for American ships op- erating on the seven seas as part of the free world's defense force. At the same time, public relations is seldom a primary mission of U. S. ships in U. S. ports. It had priority last summer, though, when an amphibious ship cruised 1, 200 miles into the Great Lakes on a double-barrelled public re- lations mission. Bidding for increased understanding at home and support from the American people for Seapower missions world-wide, the Navy sent the tank landing ship USS DeSoto County and its specially embarked Navy-Marine A Corps units on its 17-city, 9, 100-mile voyage. Described by a Marine general as Seapower's Report to the Stock- holders, the cruise was designed to reach the 10 million Americans who live and work in port cities dotting the Great Lakes shores. PR OBJECTIVE The operations order put it this way: Visit the maximum number of population center ports in the Great Lakes area, conduct 'open houses' in the ports visited, depict by means of embarked displays. . . and demonstra- tions, press conferences and interviews, speeches, and by every other dy- namic public relations procedure the full meaning of Seapower... .in order to provide the people of the Great Lakes area with an opportunity to see and know their Navy and Marine Corps. r A PROBLEMS Select a major ship which would have a great potential for reaching a maximum number of persons with the cruise message, and at the same time possess the physical capabilities for passing through narrow locks and canals and for tieing up at piers in relatively small and shallow harbors. Identify military and civilian public relations units and individuals that can best contribute to a successful cruise, obtain enthusiastic support, and organize effectively on both an overall basis and for individual port visits. Accomplish cruise objectives with funds, exhibits and materials already allocated to naval commands for similar purposes. I SOLUTIONS Detail a major amphibious ship for the cruise. The tank landing ship USS DeSoto County CLST 1171j was selected on the basis of three prime -:L-,,,:gy,1.g:, ' ::: 11- :.,,,. ,,z,'f,-. , ,ng , gy,-gg :L-J-., a-1:57-yzw -J: 1 11, 'i3'Zi'j I'r1f5'-eq ESI?-ist.

Evolved from famed war -proven forbears, it still was a new type in the inland seas area and it also had unique capabilities for perform- ing as a show boat. It was narrow enough to pass through the seaway system and its shallow draft enabled it to enter otherwise inaccessible har- bors. Its troop carrying capacity permitted embarkation of special demon- stration teams, its interior well deck provided exhibit space and visiting room, and its open mouth or retractable bow opening created an imme- diate impact upon all who saw the ship. Organize the cruise as a public relations effort, employ every dynamic public relations tool appropriate and available, indoctrinate the embarked Navy-Marine Corps personnel in established public relations precepts and procedures, employ the assistance of all available public relations personnel and resources in the cruise area, and fully support public relations officers assigned to accomplish cruise objectives. Ensure maximum mileage from available funds by converting commonly available materials into give-aways so that all visitors would have at least one souvenir, obtain volunteer services and donations of material, train shipboard personnel to perform public relations duties, exercise the utmost ingenuity in constructing and obtaining inexpensive but effective displays, and capitalize on established local activities and events. ACHIEVEMENTS Judged solely by the imitation and repetition it has inspired, Sea- power's Report to the Stockholders is a solid success. Navy Department planners have proposed follow-up cruises, including one on the Mississippi --preferably by the DeSoto County and its tested Navy-Marine Corps Team. State Department interest also has been shown. Other ships are using tactics, tools and techniques developed and tested on the Great Lakes Cruise. And there are other significant credits. . . --426, 167 civilians hosted on board, an average of 700 persons an hour during 61 visiting days. . .with an astounding 600fZ of one city's popula tion hosted on board. --95240, 000 in free publicity obtained in projecting Seapower's message into an area of 10 million persons through 82 1X2 hours of radio and television time and 7, 168 column inches of newspaper space. --Navy and Marine Corps recruiting programs stimulated with an even greater surge of interest indicated among 12-15 age youths. --New prestige in the Great Lakes littoral for Navymen and Marines, satisfyingly evident to all -- especially to the cruise team. --338 prominent midwestern leaders hosted for one and two-day cruises, with Secretary of the Navy invitations Qcompared to a total of 1, 200 such invitations last yearj, and 1, 528 special guests hosted at on-board receptions. --66 speaking engagements accepted and completed. --A Secretary of the Navy Commendation for Achievement for the DeSoto County's commanding officer, plus his nomination as one of America's outstanding young men of the year. -- Ship of the Year nomination for the USS DeSoto County. E d n STATEMENT OF THE' COMMANDING OFFICER I think the cruise was the most challenging and at the same time re- warding experience in the career of every man on board. The opportunity we received to greet and meet almost half a million Americans, and to see their enthusiasm and genuine interest in the Navy-Marine Corps Team aboard the DeSoto County was the most singularly rewarding feature of the cruise. No man could have worked with a finer team of men, nor received a finer welcome than that received by the DeSoto County in every port on every one of the five Great Lakes. We have a new appreciation for the fresh water seaports and seamen of the Great Lakes. 1 We have experienced hospitality second to none. As a result of this cruise, each of us wears his uniform more proudly, holds his head a little higher, and has a greater feeling of pride in the service of his country than ever before. It was a wonderfully satisfying experience. . H. D. MANN, Jr. Lieutenant Commander, U. S.

McCain, Jr. , in talks to all of DeSoto County's officers and petty officers. 2 e m:h n Proposed as a public relations operation, Seapower's Report to the Stockholders succeeded even beyond + expectations largely because planners never lost sight of its purpose. A four star admiral conceived of the cruise as a means of reaching a relatively uninformed but vastly interested audience with the Navy- Marine Corps story. He was the late Admiral Claude V. Ricketts, in 1963 the Navy's second ranking officer as Vice Chief of Naval Operations. . He knew operational requirements had kept the Navy from scheduling another inland sea cruise similar to the one in 1959 when the St. Lawrence , Seaway opened. But he also realized 1 the importance of live visits to the increasingly seaward looking cities of the Great Lakes littoral. And in 1963 he decided the need was urgent. After a study of the concept, fleet schedules and ship capabilities, the Commander in Chief of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet formally proposed that a major amphibious ship and a submarine be ordered to the Great Lakes for extensive public relations cruises. Marine Corps participation was recommended, for the most effective representation of American seapower responding to the four ocean challenge facing our nation today. . Prompt approval came from the Navy's senior officer, the Chief of Naval Operations. The Commandant of the Marine Corps also concurred. Assigned the task of selecting a ship for this indoctrination and good will cruise, the Commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet Amphibious Force awarded the challenge and honor to the USS DeSoto County CLST 11711. A recognition of a stand-out ship with a top crew as well as a great potential for reaching a maximum number of persons with the cruise message, this decision was solidly based. One of the ship's greatest advantages was its commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Horace D. Mann, Jr., an outstanding leader with a flair for public relations, a field in which he once intended to specialize. Delighted with the assignment, LCDR Mann approached each cruise challenge with zest, originality and dedication. Fired by their leader's enthusiasm and example, his officer and enlisted per- sonnel turned to for a performance that never failed to impress. Prime consideration in selecting the DeSoto County, however was its configuration which provided unique capabilities for a show boat per formance It was the newest of a famed war tested type Its hull size and draft permitted effective operations in the seaway canal system and the rela tively shallow Great Lakes harbors Its troop carrying capacity permitted em barkation of special demonstration teams Its tank deck longer than a football field provided exhibit space and room for visitors of all ages to move around with ease and safety And its open mouth Chinged bowl created an immediate impact upon all who saw the ship Actual cruise planning responsi bility rested upon a Navy captain on the Amphibious Force Commander s staff Public relations officers of all commands shared in the planning from the very start More persons saw the Cine- Globe Cruiser Theater loaned by the Navy Exhibit Center than its counterpart at the New York World's Fair. Longer than a football field the ship s tank deck gave room for displays and demonstra tions and for visitors to walk around in safety i I u Immediate liaison was set up with Marine officers on the staff of the Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Atlantic, and with the Second Marine Division. Assistance also came from Atlantic Fleet Headquarters and the Navy and Marine Corps offices of information in Washington, D.C. Planners delved into data about city populations, harbor facilities, timing of local observances and special events, Seaway rules and shipping traffic patterns. They worked out proposed schedules featuring minimum transit times and maximum in-port times. Fortunately, because of DeSoto County's normal 14, 000-mile cruising range, it would not require special arrangements for fuel and other non-perishable supplies. As a boost to shipboard morale and local commercial public relations, however, procedures were devised for buying fresh produce in each port. Advance messages sent to commandants of each naval district in the Great Lakes area obtained valuable logistics and operational data, as well as information about military public relations personnel in each city to be visited. f '... N 1 1 --,A yt -L. .,, . H I ' A I' K . By request, commandants also named project officers for each city. Many were recruiters, familiar with civic groups and city leaders and possessed of excellent working relations with local news media. Prominent community leaders, from many different fields, were nominated for daytime and overnight cruises between cities. Special approval by the Secretary of the Navy permitted guest cruise arrange- ments to be made with a minimum of red tape. The national president of the Navy League of the United States also alerted chapter leaders in each port to lend appropriate assistance. The Public Relations Society of America lent the cruise its support through local chapters. - Prestige visits by flag officers were carefully timed in the cruise format to reach a higher level of local leaders, emphasize the high level of support given by the services to the cruise and to acknowledge support and hospitality rendered by cities. It became apparent early in the cruise how extremely valuable were these visits by Vice Admiral John S. McCain, Jr. , Amphibious Force Commander, and Lieutenant General James P. Berkeley, Fleet Marine Force Commanding General. Their appearances attracted extraattention, permitted demonstrations of impressive military customs and ceremonies, and their speeches dramatized roles of the Navy-Marine Corps Team. Determined to package in the DeSoto County the best display of Seapower possible on an austere budget, planners concentrated on available exhibits, special units that could perform double functions, and give-aways that could be mass produced from available material, obtained free, or purchased at minimum cost. Heavy Marine fighting equipment borrowed from the Second Marine Division included a tracked landing vehicle, 52-ton tank, self-propelled howitzer, a mechanical mule jeep, and an Ontos tank killer. ' An H-19 anti-submarine helicopter crew landed aboard with temporary duty orders, to team up with an Underwater Demolition Team from Little Creek. A Marine karate team and a 25-voice chorus doubled as a security A detachment. The 12-piece Amphibious Force band marched aboard too. The Navy Exhibit Center furnished a Polaris ballistic missile, a special display featuring Admiral McCain's famous Four Ocean Challenge' presentation, and a special version of the Navy's Cine-Globe Cruiser Theater being used at the New York World's Fair. Although special seats and other installation required for the Cine-Globe required 314, 300 of the 315, O00 in special funds received for the cruise, this money came from the Exhibit Center and would have been used for other exhibit purposes. Cruise statistics also showed that more people saw the movies aboard the DeSoto County than at the fair. - Jlrrmr -::::.:-.11-r 1-5-S1-...nr--1 q3r:-::..f- --N ..... .ru :-:.r- .i -- .'- ' :- - - U... - , .. ........ ... ... -HL 'J3Q42:zf-g.95:',r,3:::-159312:-2.2-?':r:-. .L.::3f1 P22351'f:?:.1ffII'f2'm:--2'-lm.-E512-1:::2E1as Vanguard field trips to several cities were made by public information specialists who would be making the cruise. They contacted local project officers, explored means of capitalizing on every cruise potential, firmed up arrangements, and polished techniques. Ways were found to hitch-hike on local events, timing adjusted to permit appropriate participation by civic leaders, and ideas sought for particularly useful publicity material. It was decided to add Navy and Marine Corps public relations OffiCGI'S the ship's crew. They included a Navy lieutenant commander and Marine first lieutenant, and enlisted information specialists and photographers from each service. This group had cruise public information functions, while the commanding officer had public relations responsibilities. Press kits taking shape contained news releases, fact sheets, radio and television spots, photographs, and 16-mm movie footage of the ship, its embarked special units and amphibious assault action. . ' Planning also included arrangements for an advance team to precede the DeSoto County into each port during the cruise. This team of one Navy and one Marine Corps officer, drawn from the ship's public infor- mation force, were to promote arrival publicity, firm up last minute arrangements for participation in local events, and otherwise assist local military and civilian planners. This link between ship and city proved its worth again and again. As planned, advance publicity began withla press conference May 22, three weeks before the cruise got underway. Releases went to the wire services, and radio and television, networks. Publicity material also went to newspapers and radio and television stations in the 17 cities to be visited, as well as to media in areas where cruise units were based. . As the DeSoto County and its embarked Navy-Marine Corps Team steamed out of Norfolk on June 8 for Ogdensburg, N. Y. , planners and team members alike were confident. Though the extensive planning proved itself with a resoundingly successful visit in the first port, the DeSoto County team kept trying to improve its effectiveness. Nothing was allowed to interfere with its mission, and nothing was left undone that might help. Eval- uations of each visit helped to improve the next, with innovations made easier because of the flexibility judiciously and confidently left to the cruise team by the original planners. 1 1 'UNQM - - -., -wy:.m .. vvg.-wnu1 .-,-.--.razzigezs-gwummg.-'n-3,-1-f.mf-.-.-.-vm-..i:F,--- ---- -Y-. ...

There have been frequent requests from sources ranging from Congress- men to Commanders of local naval reserve training centers for ship cruises in the Great Lakes. Due to expense and operational requirements it is seldom that such cruises can be made. The last such cruise was by USS LAWRENCE QDDG-41 in the summer of 1962. 2. In order to again provide the people of the Great Lakes area with an opportunity to see their Navy and to spur the recruiting efforts, it is con- sidered advisable to schedule a demonstration cruise in the summer of 1964. The expense and temporary non-operational deployment are deemed accept- able in View of the overall benefits. 1 3. It is requested that the Chief of Naval Operations approve the concept of a summer cruise by a modern LST of the Amphibious Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet and: a.

' DeSoto County, one of the newest ships of her type, is designed to transport and land tanks, other heavy equipment and weapons in amphibious landings. With her shallow draft forward, she is capable of moving close to shore and being attached to pontoon causeways over which cargo can move, thereby bridging the gap from ship to shore. She can also move in to a hostile shore, beach herself, and discharge her cargo through her bow doors directly onto the beach. J Commissioned June 10, 1958, at New Grleans, la., DeSoto County is 442 feet long and 62 feet wide. When fully loaded it displaces 8,000 tons, more than five times that of a World War II LST. It can steam 14,000 miles without refueling and has a top speed in excess of 15 knots. Lieutenant Com ander Horace D. Mann, Jr., of Manteo, N.C., and Portsmouth, Va., has com anded Desoto County since July 15, 1963. iY 'T Qi ' 'W'z ? - 7: ': 7 '5i ' i+ :7 ' i'1 l-liikinl'-' 'Y ' ' '.F ' ' ' D' ' ' ' ' ' ' QQ QQQQQ QQQ .QQQ QQ Q QQ Q QQ QQ Q QQ Q QQQ QQ Q QQQQQ QQ QQ Q QQ QQ Q QQ QQQ U QQQQQQ Q QQQQ Q Q QQQQQ 4 one Q ' Q Q Q QQ Q QQQQQ Q Q Q Q QQQ QQ Q Q Q Q ' QQ Q . ..

Allowing nothing to interfere with its mission and leaving nothing undone that could improve its perfor- mance, DeSoto County delivered Seapower's Report to the Stockholders to millions of citizens. The 426,167 persons who visited the LST enjoyed a lively, dramatic presentation. Millions of others also got the message. They heard it from the visitors, from radio and TV broadcasts beamed into eight million homes, and read it in 7,128 column inches I of newspaper stories. Advance teams preceding the ship placed pictures, stories, radio spots and TV footage, set up interviews and made visit arrangements.

Y. 09501 Since your association with the Navy-Marine Corps Team on the DESOTO COUNTY this past summer, I felt you would be interested in the results of the highly successful and well received LST Great Lakes Cruise of l96Lp. - As you know, we left Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia, our homeport, on 8 June, sailed north around Nova Scotia into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and m up the St. Lawrence River - gate to the inland seas. During the summer we sailed in all five of the Great Lakes, visiting your wonderful city and 16 others. The reception by the people of the Great Lakes area was true hospitality, second to none. The visiting totals are truly indicative of the interest and response in every area we visited. The hourly average was 700, the daily average 7000 and the total visitor count was Li26,0Lt6. This was a first for the Navy-Marine Corps Team and for an LST. The opportunity for us to bring a sample of seapower to your community and to visit the famous inland sea of the United S t as welcome. Each one of us believes in our mission in ta es w facing the Four Ocean Challenge of today. In case you might have lost or misplaced the brochure we handed out, I am taking the liberty of e.nclosing one with a card to remind you of your affiliation with the DESOTO COUNTY.

His combatready, salt water amphibious warship had justreturned to its Atlantic coast home port, ending an extraordinarily successful public relations cruise to 17 cities bordering the nation's inland seas. A recognition of the importance of good community re- lations and the necessity for civilian understanding' and support for United States Navy missions world-wide, the operation succeeded because basic public relations princi- ples were consistently emphasized and practiced, with an g application of originality, enthusiasm and dedication. Measurements of cruise successes are many. A few are listed below. Others are contained on succeeding pages -- in the highly commendatory letters from high ranking military officials, civic leaders and ordinary citizens, in the abundance of laudatory yet objective press clippings that revealed the warm and interested welcome tendered to the cruising Navy-Marine Corps Team, and in pertinent sections of the very revealing report submitted at voyage end. W -- Navy Department planners have proposed a contin- uation of such cruises, including one the length of the Mississippi river. -- State Department interest is being shown. -- Other ships are using visit techniques, tools and tactics developed and polished by the DeSoto County. 426, 167 civilians hosted on board, an average of 700 persons an hour during 61 visiting days. 8240, 000 Ka conservative estimateb of free publicity tender-edthe Navy-Marine Corps Team and Sea- power's Report to the Stockholders in the form of 82 1X2-hours of radio and television time -- much prime -- and in 7, 168 column inches of newspaper space -- equivalent to the editorial content of' 110 New York Times pages. A major boost to Navy and Marine Corps recruiting programs in the Great Lakes area. A 338 Secretary of the Navy guests given one and two- day cruises -- compared to 1, 200 for the entire Navy last year -- plus 170 others given a special ' y one-day cruise. ' 1, 528 special guests hosted at on-board receptions. 66 speaking engagements completed before influen- tial groups. c ' A 6 ' A ' 354 special presentations by the embarked band, karate team, chorus, frogmen, andhelicopter crew. A Secretary' of the Navy Commendation for Achieve- ment earned by the DeSoto County's commanding officer, as well as his nomination by the Navy as one of America's 10 most outstanding men of the year. Nomination of the 'DeSoto County as ship of the year. New prestige in the Great Lakes littoral, satisfyingly evident to all, but especially to the Navy-Marine Corps Team of the DeSoto County and to military observers stationed in the area. p 1 WHY 'E NOT READ SOME OF THE LETTERS AND CLIPPINGS FOR YOURSELF ?

The USS DESOTO COUNTY Great with the Marine Corps' over-all recruiting effort. in step My only regret is that the ship did nity in the United States. Lakes Cruise was exactly not visit every commu- b. 'We have found that most men join the Marine Corps as a result of getting to know, or to know about, individual Marines. Because of this, our recruiting literature and ther supporting material usually depicts actual Marines in o their Marine Corps environment. Our objective in the devel opment of these items is to carry the image of the individ- i 'li n ual Marine in a Marine Corps setting into the c vi -a community. I believe there is only one thing better than this: in person visits of Marines and a portion of their environment to the local community. This, of course, was ctl what the DESOTO COUNTY accomplished. I donft believe exa y it can be improvedg I hope it is repeated. ,f V'.'

D. Mann, Lieutenant Commander, U. S. Navy U. S. S. DeSoto County, L. S. T. 1171 - F. P. O. New York, New York 09501 Dear Sir: May I take this opportunity to thank you, your executive officer, Major O'Brien and all those other fine people who make up the DeSoto County team for the wonderful hospitality and the thoughtful consideration extended to a land lubber on the cruise from Duluth to Marquette. I was greatly impressed, not by the type of equipment you carry, for we civilians expect and want you to have the very best, but by the excellent attitude and esprit de corps of the ship's personnel toward their mission and those in responsibility along the chain of command. 'It was evident in many little things - such as a young Seaman on the double to carry out an assignment - and whistling as he went - the little extra rub of a polishing cloth to make sure that the job was a little above what was needed to pass. It was evident in the very courteous manner in which a busy person took time to go into detail about a point in question, or the solicitous concern for the comfort and safety of persons unfamiliar with conditions and routine. It was a tight ship, but a happy one. e As a somewhat blase' P. R. man I expected that your officers would naturally exhibit this attitude, but I will admit that I was agreeably surprised to see that it extended to the entire crew, or, at least to every member with whom I came in contact. I am sure that this is due to your unusual understanding of people and I to your ability to communicate. Equipment we can buy, but men of your caliber, able to lead are beyond price. Please tell your junior officers that I greatly enjoyed the trip and my association with them, and if there is a way Cand I know you will have onel please see to it that the rest of the crew get a big thank you from this civilian. I particularly appreciated the special extra impromptu karate exhibition which was staged for Bill MacConnachie and myself I Sunday evening on the tank deck by the instructor and one of his assis- tants. The color slides we obtained of this are terrific. V I I ' w 1 X w r l 1 L i x k 4 I mu 'X 3 , Y , i - 2 - It is impossible for me to detail all the specific instances which, added together, made for a most enjoyable twenty four hours so probably the best way to express my sentiments is just to say Hthank you very muchn and that I shall treasure the experience and the fine fellowship as one of the finer things which have happened to me. I recall very vividly sitting in the wardroom with Norm Nelson, Jr. and yourself, and discussing the world situation and also your hopes for the future, and to all this I say nAmenn. I hope you realize your ambitions The Navy needs men like you, making policy. To you and your crew, good luck. - Sincer ly, ff, - 7 -1 ,7 f '-, ,uv ,.- ' . f 4 1 J N v 'C .l66,l5Qgg.L,' J' HSO:jc f ' :1--fm. v.-rm.--.wuz-m-wn.mn1 v.,...,. , .... ..-.. , ..... -f --Q.. 4 :ne Q :Y:,...- fLfrv1-- -:fr-f f r-- ' Au- ---H it---Irrr'v-vw - . .L -1 :mln- v rx- fm.

I wish to express my own very great appreciation and that of the City of Rochester for the visit of U.S.S. DE SOTO COUNTY CLST-11713 from June 16 to 2l and the concurrent visit on June 17 of Vice Admiral John S. Mc CAIN, Jr., Commander Amphibious Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. These visits provided an unusual opportu- nity for the people of an inland community to see up-to-date Navy and Marine Corps equipment, to learn of current techniques of the Navywharine Corps team, and to hear of the vital role of seapower in the defense of the nation. A In a recent conversation with Com ander G. J. BINKS of the Rochester U.S. Naval Reserve Training Center, I learned that over 40,000 people visited the ship. There was extensive press, radio, and TV coverage reaching many times that number. Two audiences of Rochester business and industrial executives and another audience of veterans and reserve personnel heard Admiral Mc CAIN make very impressive pre- sentations on HSeapower: The Four Ocean Challenge.U Our city was thus exception- ally well informed on the success of the Navy in meeting an enormous and diverse challenge. Your staff and personnel of the Center here are to be complimented on their thorough advance planning and skillful management of events which made pos- sible this excellent result. ' . Having been a Navy man myself during World War II, the professional manner in which the crew carried out their duties during my own tour of the ship with my family, together with the obviously intense interest of the hundreds of Rochester- ians who were there at the same time, was a reward to my personal as well as to my civic pride. Rochester enjoys the reputation of being Ha good Navy townn as the DE SOT0 crew might attest to. we look forward with pleasure to every opportunity, of which this was an outstanding example, for reinforcing that reputation.

ELLIS Public Information Officer Commander Amphibious Force U. S. Atlantic Fleet, cfo FPO, New York, N.Y. Dear Commander Ellis: Sorry for the long delay in answering your correspondence about the evaluation of the De Soto County cruise. The delay basically was caused by the number of reports made on this particular cruise and as a result, the lack of backup material left on hando The cruise was considered by this Command as outstanding, and I believe mostly due to the high caliber of the officers and men which were sent here to represent the Navy-Marine Corps team. Community leaders are still talking about the cruise and consider it one of the finest events to take place in this area last year. The amount of press and television coverage was far greater than expected, and as a result, the public was definitely made aware of the Navy-Marine Corps team and the public image was greatly increased in this area. It is only hoped that another cruise of this type can be scheduled again in the near future, and you can be assured to receive the same record crowds and publicity. Sincerely V 'few 1 J- 17 W. H.

It is most attractive and will adorn my desk and remind me of the enjoyable and informative visit I had with Commander Mann in my office. I am sorry that I did not have the opportunity to meet you during your stop in Rochester. ' From the community standpoint, I believe that you can count the visit of the USS DeSoto County as a positive success. Comdr. Mann kindly escorted me on an extremely interesting tour of the ship and by the end of the stopover at the Port of Rochester many thousands of citizens from Monroe County took advantage of the ' opportunity to tour the ship and examine the latest equip- ment and techniques used in modern naval warfare. Your ship's officers and crew left all who met them, I am sure, with a higher regard than ever for the quality of leadership and manpower we have in our Navy. Best wishes on your mission and thank you again for the remembrance. ' Sincerely yoprs ff! Gordon A.

Mann, since he' would not have been given the responsibilities of such a cruise were his. qualities not already recognized. But Skip Mann is something special, and deserves my special remarks. His personal man's man charm is immediately obvious, but his abundant and genuine love for the Navy is the sobering quality which registers most deeply. His ability to project this feeling to others transforms a land-lubber like myself into a Navy enthusiast with a new appreciation of the immense Four-Ocean job which we face as well as the conviction that the problems are being solved with in- genuity and preparedness from position of strength. Needless to say, I am grateful for the wonderful cooperation Captain Mann and members of his crew extended to me in Erie, Pa. , with my painting of Oliver Hazard Perry for the History of Michigan series for Michigan Bell Telephone Co- The whole sequence of experiences has made me a devoted Horace D.

Ellis Public Information Officer UUS. Atlantic Fleet U.SQ Naval Amphibious Base Norfolk ZO, Virginia Dear Mr. Ellis, The Great Lakes cruise of the De Soto County is goneg but it is certainly not forgottena The citizens and community of Marquette, Michigan are still talking about it. I might add that all comments are of the favorable variety. T Many people still ask me when the ship will again make a cruise to Marquette. The cruise most definitely increased public relations and gave the people of Marquette and surrounding communities a far better knowledge of the Navy and Marine Corps Team, its! abilities and capabilitiesa Recruiting as such was not effected immediately following the cruise, although at the present time it seems to be increasing considerably. Through interviews with the applicants, many of them were greatly influenced by the De Soto County visiting this areaa I believe the l2 to lo age group were effected more than the l7 to 25 groupe Howevers this will enhance recruiting . within the next year or twoa This visit has stimulated a keen interest in these young people and it seems very probable that they will follow through in a few yearse Many questions have been asked pertaining to Navy and Marine Corps and we have answered by the recruitersa ' The college group was also effected, due to the fact many have been inouiring as to officer programs both Navy and Marine Corpse Flying seems to be the big interest with these mens All in all the Great lakes cruise was highly successful in this area, I am very Sure another in future years would be equally welcomed by Marquette. It has been my great pleasure to be a part of the cruise and to offer my small contribution to its' successo Respectfully yours?

STEVENS Virginian-Pilnl Staff Wrller NORFOLK - It may be the most improbable voyage of any U.S. warship in recent years and one of the most successful. There she was, the 8,000-ton tank landing ship DeSoto' Coun- ty, big as a freighter, a major vessel of the Atlantic Fleet Amphibious Force and part of Americais land-sea assault com- bination. She had just shot the rapids of the St. Lawrence River at 26 knots. tShe makes only 17 knots at sea.J She was approaching Clayton, N.Y., last stop on her 95-day, 9,100-mile public relations tour of the Great Lakes. She edged up to the dock at Clayton and tied up to a tele- phone pole, a' maple tree and a front porch. Two-thirds of the townspeople came out to take in the minia- ture shipboard fair and accom- panying show that told the story of modem seapower. The 95-day total for the DeSoto was 426,046 visitors. That was last week. The De- Soto County is back at Little , ....... . . . . .,-.m.:.-.mg--t:-N From Creek Naval Amphibious Base with tales that explain why she is a happy ship. the skipper, Lt.

Or take the junior officers, the single ones who are getting let- ters from lake ports and who describe the cruise with one word! Wow. Or the Marine who appeared at the gangway one night just before liberty expired and shout- ed up to the deck officer: Request permission to bring my rocking chair aboard, sir. He carried a brilliant orange 'rocking chair on his back. Said his grandmother gave it to him. Got permission, too. The DeSoto County was picked for the lakes cruise because of 'her outstanding record. It had to be an LST, because that's the only ship with a shallow enough draft for some of the ports she called at and enough deck space for the seapower show. H'-'M' ' f' rss-maze. rr - ......,-...-,.-......,...... ..- I i Success ul Cruise The show itself left landlocked visitors lgog. Some of them didn't know what a Polaris missile was. Their eyes widened as they looked at a full-size missile and heard how one Polaris subma- rine can deliver destructive power equal to all the bombs ex- ploded in World War II. They were fascinated -as frog- men dropped from helicopters, set up demolition charges and exploded them. Most didn't get mad when spray from the ex- plosion showered them. They looked on as members of a four-man -Marine karate team fought each other and broke wooden boards with their fingers and toes. Then they listened as a 25- voice Marine choir serenaded them. They heard the recorded voice of Vice Adm. John S. McCain Jr., commander of the Atlantic amphibious force, tell them grip- pingly about the four-ocean challenge. McCain visited the DeSoto himself several times during the cruise. Once he was accom- panied by Gen. Wallace M. Greene Jr., commandant of the Marine Corps. The visitors stood inside a monstrous cineglobe -half a massive sphere on which were projected three - dimensional movies of landings and takeoffs by carrier-based planes: an am- phibious assaultg and -a Polaris firing. It's like you actually were there, and it is breathtaking. Visitors to the New York World's -Fair can see the same exhibit. The DeSoto County stopped at 18 fresh-water ports, the largest of which were Cleveland and De- troit, and got enthusiastic re- ceptions at all of them. There was the little old lady in one port who, after finishing :the tour, found a small scrap of paper and wrote a note to be sent to -the skipper. The note hoped God would bless the De- Soto County and the Navy for protecting the country. The tour offered stiff- chal- lenges to the seamatnship of Cmdr. Mann and his crew. There were the swirling rapids between Montreal and Quebec, for one thin-g, and 'there were narnow canal looks offering 5 feet of clearance on each side. A major message which the tour .tried to put across was the importance of the Navy-Mamine Corps team -to national securil, The ship carried about 90 Ma- rines besides her crew of 187 of- ficers and men. How close is the teamwork between sailors and Marines? Well, one night in a lake punt the deck officer looked up to see two slightly staggering Marines helping what seemed to be a drunken sailor up the gangway. The sailor's blouse was hanging out and he wore a straw hat and he could.n't walk very well. The Marines took him be ow. A few minutes later the cin- credulous deck officer rubbed his eyes as the same sailor ap- peared on deck, cold sober, in spotless whites and ready tp go. One of my Marine .buddies was three sheets to the wind and didn't want to come back aboard by himself, the sailor explained. The sailor had put on a decoy act. Pm ready to go hack on lib- erty, sir, he said. And did,Aoo cement Navy-civilian relations. J 1 527. How is success measur- 1 S ll7l--Salesman For The '21 3 , 7 ,I ., 151 1 In 1.

The work will be carried out in the area where an artificial reef of junked cars is to be created. The reef would attract fish, according to the sponsors nf the pro- posal. Dr. Robert G. Sutton, chairman of the UR geology department, and Assistant Prof. Edward L. Towle of the UR Canadian Studies Program explained that the re- search project has several purposes. For one thing, the researchers want to get a clear idea of what the lake bottom looks like before the auto junkyard is established. By repeating the studies after the reef is made, they will have a basis for measuring the effect of the reef on currents and the deposition of sediments.

It all adds up to a festive atmosphere. Such was the case last night at the Naval Armory where the officers and men aboard the USS De Soto County were honored at a dance. It was part of the hospitality planned for the men. Local reservists and their wives were there. Girls were invited through the YWCA, sororities, nursing schools and the International Institute. Mrs. Ger- main Leslie' was chairman of arrange- ments. When the band played fox trots and conventional dance music the floor was crowded, but when it switched to a twist the marines quickly took to the walls leaving the floor to a few nimble navy men. A possible explanation is that it's easier in bell-bottomed trou- sers. As has been the case so often--To- ledo has a way of making large groups of visitors feel extra welcome.

Among the guests Schedule at the dance was Wilfred Bellmore, Nor- folk, Va., the ship's cook, who earlier in the day had been brewing Yankee pot roast with what was described as more meat than I've ever seen in one pot. His immediate family at home in Nor- folk includes his wife, five sons, and a daughter. He also has three married daughters, four married sons and eight grandchildren, reasons why he often pitches in at home with the cooking. Prior to the dance officers and a few of the wives, who were able to join them here, had dinner with the Navy League at the Toledo Club. Mrs. H. D. Mann, wife of the ship's captain, drove from Little Creek, near Norfolk, with their two daugthers, Karen, 9, Bobbie Sue, 6, and son, H. D. Mann III. Mrs. Greg Mather was also p r e s e n t.

The general noted that the Navy is too often thought of as consisting of ships alone. This was true in the early 19th cen- Y'-lfy. but today a combatant ship or plane is only a means Of Pl'0iECfmZ D0Wer 'o a dis- tance, he said. Put Wars Recalled' The guided missile cruiser, destroyer and submarine have this capability and it is obvious and understood by all, he said. 'Ifhe plane has its bombs and missiles and there, too, can perform an obvious mission. Berkeley said some maritime wars have been fought and won by the old fashioned system of hand-to-band combat, recalling the War of 1812. The British first saw the need of projecting the fighting man to a great dis- tance. Since the British have known this for all nf 'their history. he nid, I find lt hard to fathom why they forgot this principle at the time of World War II. He said that today men are projected to a point where they can get and maintain con- trol, and that perhaps in the future they will ride in rocket ships.

Regular forces are organized and deployed to pro- vide the nation with ready forces as close to possible dan- ger spots as can be judged. Most of the 190,000 regular Marines are in the Fleet Ma- rine Forces. The FMF-Pacific, with headquarters near Pearl Harbor, is made up of two di- visions and two wings and sup- porting forces. The 3rd division is on Okinawa with helicopters of the lst wing.

Before 10 this morning 500 visitors had climb- ed the gangplank, general visit- having been opened UP 8 hour early because of the number of spectators gath- on the wharf. Between 9 10 also was a special visita- program for Boy Scouts a large number of youths on hand with their leaders. Yesterdays visitors totalled 5,360,'Cmdr. Mann said today- This number included Rear Ad- miral Harrison B. Southworth, USN QRet.j of Mexico and his wife and about 100' special invit- ed guests who were conducted personally by the ship'S SkiPD21' on a tour of the ship. He spoke of the work of all four services -Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines-as a unit in therde- fense of our nation. Each phase of the tour was vividly described by Cmdr. Mann who stressed the improve- ments made to- utillze fewer men in handling the weapons than were used during World War II or the Korean conflict. Those who were privileged to the Marine Corps chorus away with highest praise the vocal organization which on national and in- televlslon and radio addition -to other concerts. a capella singing was sim- terrific in the words of many listeners who wished they could have heard a full hour or more X l l lil 1, .l ' i ing half large ering and of the singing instead of l 2 1 1 l . 3 ' l il in l it l l l ' shown demonstrating the i Warfnrn mnthnrle -terest in with open house for public charge of the four-man Marine team, broke eight pieces of inch boards with his foot while an- other smashed two with his fist as part of thedemonstration. The ship's crew and its Ma- rine contingent aboard are gharp looking military men. This impresses the thousands of visitors and the residents as they see them on shore liberty walking in various parts of the city. This is the'result of top leadership of Cmdr. Mann and Major John A. 0'Brien, USMC. The USS DeSoto County QLST 11713 will cast off its hawsers at 8 tomorrow morning and head for the St: Lawrence Seaway with its final port of call in Northern New York at Clayton on Wednesday and 'Thursday with Montreal the next stop be- fore it heads out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence into the Atlantic Ocean and back to Little Creek, Va., where the U.

' Commander Mann was the guest speaker at this after- noon's Rotary Club luncheon at Hotel Pontiac. The Marine Corps' chorus was also pres- ent to sing several selections. At Fulton Major O'Brien was the speaker before the Kiwanis Club members this noon. He introduced the Marine Corps Karate team which put on a demonstration of defensive tactics. The 400,000th visitor to board the ship on the current extend- ed inland tour was a Syracuse man, Frank Bradford, who came onto the ship about 11:30 this morning with his wife.

Navy ship which was built in 1958 and, when fully loaded, displaces 8,000 tons, more than five times that of a World War II LST. She can steam 14,000 miles without re- fueling and has a top speed in excess of 15 knots, according to her skipper, Lcdr. Horace D. Mann Jr., a 33-year-old North Carolina native. The DeSoto County, one of the newest ships of her type, is designed to transport and iand tanks, other heavy equip- ment and weapons in amphib- ious landings. With her shal- lnw draft forward, she is capa- ble of moving close to shore and being attached to pontoon causeways over which cargo can move, thereby bridging the gap between ship and shore. She can also move into a hos- tile. shore, beach herself, and, d'scharge her cargo throught hcl bow doors directly onto thci I beach. Visitors will get a view of' the modern Navy-Marine Corpsl Team during their inspection ol the huge ship which has, aboard a 'Cine-Globe Cruiser Theater, a tracked landing vehicle, a 52- ton tank, a self-propelled how- itzer, a Navy helicopter. a Four-Ocean Challenger exhibit, the Navy's Polaris ballistic mis- sln, the Marine Corps' Me- chanical Mule, its 0ntos tank killer and a Navy under- water demolition team of frog-1 rnen. ,A Marine karate team and a 25-voice chorus will also be found aboard the warship which leaves Cleveland, O., Saturday' to under Lt Jgy ana carrieu with ...in ...-,,-lYJC11111 of 111011111011 ., ..,., .... . . ,, I g ioiganization He is a W' 2.4. -fzs ' 1. s X --1513 1 W ' If 1' Q, Q x s K-:' NA -:1Q x e ,Q 33 fx .I 'UTI , - LST to Dock Here Next Mo 'Si' - D..4.A...

C l1QUshapeCal9Dz'spIa sHer Charms By Jo SAXDLN Of The Journal Staff LT. CDR. Horace D. Mann, jr., United States navy, introduced Milwaukee VIP's Monday night to a 27 million dollar baby he called quite a gal. The female in the spotlight was an 8,000 ton tank land- ing ship, USS De Soto Coun- ty, which docked off Jones island last Saturday. Official guess ranging from Police Chief Harold Breier to Miss Milwaukee, Miss .loan Fillar, 2658 N. Fratney av., took a sl-:ipper's tour of the vessel at an invitation only reception. Afterward hun- dreds of other Milwaukeeans filed aboard to inspect what Mann called your tax invest- ment and mine. By the time the De Soto County docked in Milwaukee, the llth city on the ship's 19 city public information cruise, Mann said, More than 280,- 000 Americans who have vis- ited us literally had walked the paint off the deck three ' times. Monday night's tour got off to an explosive start as a five man underwater demolition team set off a demonstration blast in the water near the ship. The team showed tech- niques attained during a 24 week training period so de- manding that only 1595 of all trainees qualify for demoli- tion work. On the lower tank deck, Mann guided the visitors to the ship's bow where a wide steel ramp opened into the water. The tank landing ship, he' said, is the only one in the navy with a front door. With the ramp pulled up and sealed watertight, Mann explained, This area forms a natural amphitheater with good acoustics. With this for an introduc- tion, a 25 voice marine corps chorus directed by lst Lt. Ben Borchelt promptly marched in and sang four numbers, including The Ma- rine Hymn. Mann then unveiled some of the other martial charms of Mlle. De Soto County. Her endowments included: A landing vehicle tractor, always launched first with an assault wave of 35 marines. When dropping equipment on a beachhead, the De Soto County can launch one of these every seven seconds. A 50 ton, eight inch How- itzer, with nuclear capability. According to marine Maj. John O'Brian, it can 'shoot a 200 pound projectile 15 miles to penetrate 16 feet of con- l'he which It e a r lj tons loaded crete with the sam a pistol has at 50 fe L While women on gasped and grimaced, a man marine karate team head- ed by Cpl.

Lt Richard Stack, from the ISO office? of Force Troops, Lejeune, and LtCdr Russell Harney, from CinCLant Fleet, practically lived out of a car all last summer. They would pull into a city three or four days prior to the T's arrival, and immediately contact re- cruiters andfor I-I staffers, the folk who knew other folk in the community.

There were other displays not quite so static. The gangway had hardly touched the dock, at 4:50 p.m., before three men in pyjamas leaped off. Well, they weren't wearing pyjamas, really. It just looked 'that way at first glance. What they actually had on was traditional judo 'garb. The three Marines were part of a karate team, Cordinarily, there were four-Cpls Glenn Premru, Earl Chris- teon and Frank Poilluci, plus LCpl Garland Aaron-but Poilluci was on emergency leavej and this particular karate team had 10 minutes before it was to appear on a live TV show. A police escort got them there on time, and experience before TV cameras negated the lack of immediate prepara- tion. That'was but the first of many move-let's-get-there appearances, for the karate team as well as the other groups. A 25-man chorus, from the Second Divvy, made five appearances during the visitg two at hospitals, two more on TV shows and a solo at a park concert. A Navy band, formed just before the ship left Norfolk, had almost as rigorous a schedule. The ship's softball team played a local one and created all sorts of good will. It lost . . . but the odds had been slightly stacked. Seems the Erie soft- ball team had beaten everybody for counties around and, like always, the ship's team hadn't had practice oppor- tunities. It's difficult to hold batting practice while afloat . . . especially on an LST! It's also difficult to fly a helicopter off a T's deck while tied to a dock, but the bright orange Navy ASW chopper rotored on and off repeatedly, carrying a 10-man UDT team which gave dem- onstrations in the bay, just beyond the pier. First, the fiipper-foots leaped out of the 'copter as it hovered about 15 feet in the air, the jumps placed at in is 1 I l the De Soto County was af Erie, a helicopfer rotored back and forfh, carrying l underwater demolifion feams which puf on demonstrations near fhe dock seemed to hang back. Finally, the Lawrence was a riddled hulk, her decks covered with blood and all of her guns out of commission. Only one piece of equipment remained intactg a under fire for years, and had lost an arm at the seafight of Trafalgar. If experience alone judged battles, Perry had no business challenging the Queen of the Seas. 1 .v Q' . swf'-. . .

Then, the frogmen's high-powered retrieving boat churned down the line, hooping the swimmers aboard. While that bit of action was oohing and ahhing the crowd, the helo flew back to the ship and picked up two more UDT-ers, who were carried high above the bay so they could parachute, showing another method of UDT delivery. The chopper then demonstrated how men are rescued from water Cby horsecollar and winchj, and the crowds drifted back to line up at the gangway, wait- ing to get aboard. Not all the demonstrating was done by the ship and embarked troops. The city of Erie demonstrated its hospi- tality with receptions for the officers and an entire evening in a rathskeller for the crew-compliments of a local brewery. And the sea stories which were woven? The brine was flyin' in all directions! There were, of course, scores of Erielanders who'd sailed on 'Gator ships, either during World War II or the Korean fracas. A few of them rode the De Soto from Buffalo, the last port visited, to Erie . . . and there was much, Now, when I was on an LST back in .... None of them had ever been aboard the De Soto before, because she's prac- tically an infant. The 1171 has been E is witn PhibLant only since 1958, theg year she was commissioned. But, young or no, her crew members could' x keep up with the loudest I remember: 1 whens, 'cause De Soto has logged ay few miles in six years. . It goes without saying: she's been, to the Med and the Carib a few times. As a matter of fact, the 1171 was the only 'Gator ship to take part in the Gitmo evacuation during the last Cuban crisis. She carried 92 depend- ents back to Norfolk, then loaded Marines aboard and headed back for, the troubled waters. I At Erie, the tale-swapping was inter- spersed with an occasional You sure make 'cm big nowadays . . . references to the De Soto's size. Most Marines who've seen LSTs as part of amphibious squadrons certainly! never considered LSTs to be big ships. But, the fact is, those built in De Soto's time displace five times the tonnage as' those built in WW II! And tied up close to the Niagara, the De Soto looked like an Empire Statei building, leveled out and fitted withi guns. The 1171 was almost four times, the size of Perry's flagship. Which leads to another comparison. Fully loaded, crew and embarked troops, the De Soto can easily carry 854 men. That's almost twice as many men as Perry had in his entire fleet when he won the Battle of Lake Erie. 111 11 111 11 4 , I I I I 1 1 1 I 1 s Ii It 1, I I I I I 'I 'I If ,. I-I I 11 I 1 I,.

INTRODUCTION 1., General, The USS DESOTOACOUNTY Summer Great Lakes Cruise by its very nature placed paramount importance on the public information aspect, All efforts were directed toward the accomplishment of the cruise mission which was primarily one of public informationfpublic relations, The cruise,Operation Order QCOMPHIBLANT No. 503-641 placed the responsibility for public information under the Amphibious Force- Public Information Officer under the direction of the commanding officer., This responsibility was carried out by means of the following procedures and techniquesz p A at Approximately one month prior to the cruise date, a visit by PI-HBLANT PIO and FMFLANT ISO was made to the Public Information Officers of the Naval Districts involved CCOM3, 4 and 95 and to FHTNC. The mission and scope of the cruise and plans for support were discussed and developed., It was determined that commanding officers of Navy and Marine Corps Training Centers, local Navy-Marine Corps recruiters and! or Marine I Sz I Officers' could best' be utilized as Area Project Officers. In each case, Navyand' Marine Corps..Area Project Officers were designated. In this way, the existing contacts with local media as well as leading citizens and civicxofficials nutured by these persons could be exploited to theadvantage' of the cruise. Press kit material was distributed at this visit. vb. One week prior to the cruise commencement avisit was made by the Advance Liaison Team to' nine selected ports of call to check advance arrangements, Area Project Officers were advised of the availability of special units CUDT, Marine Chorus, Marine Karate Team, helicopter crew, Navy All-American football 'playerj and encouraged to effect a tentative schedule of commitments for units and personnel. Especially, desirous were engagements on radio, TV and feature newspaper coverage for cruise personnelg 'The project' officers were also asked to arrange meetings with media representatives and whenever possible, to schedule promotional interviewsfor the Advance Liaison Team members.

PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY C OMMENTS A. AREA PROJECT OFFICERS 1. Insure that Area Project Officers CAPOSD have sufficient information and materials in time to formulate schedules, place advance publicity with media and arrange for promotional interviews by Advance Liaison Team. In addition, p-provide timed releases for 3, 2 and 1-week in advance of ship's visit. I 2. Provide APOS with an instruction sheet of requirements to include such items as: . a. Platform for karate team demonstrations alongside the ship. b. A VIP list for ship's hosted reception. QCity officials, media reps, politicians, businessmen, professional men, educators, clergymen, officials of Navy affiliated groups, and othersuitable group officials. J c. Need for FAA and Coast Guard approval to fly the helicopter and set demolition charges. The area should be patrolled by police boats or CG boats. A Notice to Mariners should be published in some instances. d. Courtesy car requirements. y ' e. Need for an appropriate arrival ceremony with city dignitaries on hand with key to the city, press coverage provided and a local band to. stimulate interest. g y f. Ship's needs - 2 telephones, dry cleaning service, trash and garbage pick-up, fresh water, and additional brow to facilitate traffic flow control. . B I , 3. APOs in consultation with Naval District operations personnel should serve as local representatives in finalizing berthing arrangements. The three most important factors reflecting on ship's visiting are adequate advance publicity, accessibility, and attractiveness of berthing location. The success of any ship's visit is predicated on the adequacy of the above factors. The APOs can be ofinvaluable service in these areas. The ports in which DESOTO COUNTY enjoyed greatest success were places where APOS had done outstanding jobs with advance publicity, schedule and berthing arrangements.

Newspapers Q15 City editor or military editor. Q22 Society editor - present- her with some 'angle that would interest the ladies. lEditors and women's groups were hosted to food preparation demonstrations aboard the DESOTO COUNTYJ Q32 Sports editors - if there is something interesting to offer - such as Greg Mather, LTJG, 41962 All-American, supply officer aboard DESOTO COUNTY. b. Radio and Television C121 Newsrdirector - straight newsstory. Q25 Program director - for other program possibilities, such as children's programs and ,interview shows. C32 Continuity director - for placement of spot announcements c. 'TRAVEL E v 1. The Advance Liaison Team should be provided with a good, heavy road vehicle.

The Bell System Credit Card enabled the Advance Liaison Team to accomplish a great deal of business through telephone calls that team members would not have otherwise been able to accomplish. It -made the Advance Liaison Team 40fZy more effective. RECOMMENDATIONS A. GENERAL 1. More attention be given to assignment of interested and capable Area Project Officers. 2. An effort be made to coordinate visits with local or state observances such as holidays, conventions, fairs, festivals, etc. -2- 1 4. . ., -.:!,,.,:m,--. mm-,-,5i...,.s ,, ...., -..... ,...-,,, W , , Q Y -v .

I L 1 3. Investigate the availability of suitable berthing locations which have adequate parking and lighting facilities and are accessible tolarge numbers in thedowntown area. B. SPECIFIC 1. Special units such as the Underwater Demolition Team, helicopter, Karate Team, Marine Chorus and Navy Band provide flexibility inarranging suitable ,special programsor capitalizing on existing programs or events Cconcert series, dances, parkdepartment, YMCA, college and university activitiesi. In addition, the use of these units with .speakers at club meetings seemed to create interest inthe ship's visit and to attract media coverage. The inclusion of these units would be crucial tothe success offuture cruises 'of -this type. 2. Additional materials important- to the success of future cruises are: a. Lights to illuminate the ship at night and attract attention. Large Hollywood type spotlights should. be carried by the ship. b. y An adequate portable sound system for use in areas adjacent t to the ship, during demonstrations. c. A portable platform for use withthe Karate Team -demon- strations should .be provided by the ship. d. Balloons with appropriate message to be released upon arrival in port. e. Tapedspots by CO ship and CO troops should be provided for radio. Sound on film clips are useful for TV, 'lnclude 60-second spots. f. Posters - window cards announcing dates, visiting hours and location of the ship to be placed in display windows, hotel lobbies, etc.. by, local recruiters. An audio vehicle. A sound truck was used on two occasions during the DESOTO COUNTY cruise. As the vehicle traversed city streets the driver repeated a short message inviting the public to visit the ship. It was our experience that a vehicle with an audio system could often be borrowed from the police department or some other branch of city government. Direct mail. A mailer aimed at businessmen and leaders of local service and social organizations, telling them about the ship and inviting them to bring members of .their organization aboard as a group. An appropriate mailing list can easilybe obtained through the local recruiter, the local project officer, or the Chamber of Commerce. The mailing pieces should be sent to the project officer we-lil in advance of the ship's visit, and he should be instructed to get them out approximately two week's prior to the ship's arrival. i ..3- g. h. - .... ... . - p p, , li W , 9 4 lik 11 1' w M , mu , -4 1f,, 'tuba AUM.

Send a,Navy All-American football player. LTJG Greg Mather was a valuable method of introduction to media and a means of attracting media to the ship for feature coverage. . 4. Provide a clipping service as a means of accumulating an accurate record of publicity coverage and 3 method of evaluating cruise results. 5. The importance of the Advance Liaison Team's function in making final ,schedule commitments, placing additional cruise information with media, promoting pre-arrival and post-arrival interviews, andin general, creating interest and awareness of the ship's visit cannot be over-emphasized Experience proved that one team had difficulty in performing these essential functions due to tight operating schedules. Therefore, it is recommended that two Advance Liaison Teams be formed under the direction of the Cruise Public Information Officer. Two teams would permit more , advanced-workto be accomplished and greater assistance be provided to Area Project Officersat the ,future ports of call. A In addition, a team would always be available for public information assistance to the ship during the entire length of the visit in a particular port. Rarely could the Advance Liaison Team. remain with the DESOTO A COUNTY more ,than a day or two in any port before departing for the next port of call. It was also a rare occasion when the team reached a port more than three days ahead of the ship. Area Project Officers often commented ' that they required more-:advanced guidance and assistance to do the advanced planning.

Operation Order I , COMPHIBLANT No. 503-64 ANNEX B CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 1. PRE-DEPARTURE PREPARATIONS. USS DESOTO COUNTY CLST 11712 will lgad at Little Creek the various exhibits and displays, including the Four Ocean Challenge exhibit and the CINE-DOME theater, which are being furnished by the Navy Exhibits Center at the direction of the office of the Chief of Naval Information. Target date for completion of loading of these exhibits and displays is Wednesday, 27 May 1964. On 28 and 29 May, the U, S, Marine Corps detachment, personnel and equipment, will be loaded. On Monday, l June 1964, a Navy helicopter with attendantfdetachment will be loadedoc On Wednesday, 3 June 1964, a UDT detachment with equipment will be loaded. All of the above loading will be acomplished at the-UQ S. Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Virginia. - Simultaneously with the above, the ship will top off in fuel, provisions and stores. An additional accommodation ladder will be installed on the starboard side in order to allow optimum traffic control conditions during the anticipated heavy general visiting in the Great Lakes ports, Required fenders, both pneumatic and wooden, will be procured as required by Seaway locks, An ' additional set of propellers will be-loaded aboard. This safeguard is prompted by the fact that during the Inland Seas cruise in 1959 a total of seven propellers required replacement due to damage primarily incurred in transiting the locks. Approximately 250,000 handout brochures, invitation cards, place setting cards, route signs for general visiting, photographic supplies and a miscellany of other varied items required for the successful implementation of a cruise of this nature will be procured and placed aboard the USS DESOTO COUNTY. While all of the above is taking place, intensive ship's force effort will be expended in order to bring the ship up to the-very highest standards of material readiness and cleanlinesso 8 2. EXECUTION OF THE CRUISE, When in all respects ready for sea o5og'June 1964, USS DESOTO COUNTY will depart Little Creek, Thereafter, she will conduct movements in accordance with the schedule shown in Appendix I to this Annexe. ,' In the preparation of this schedule, particular note was taken of the possibility of being delayed at the Welland Canal, and ample time was accordingly allotted for this evolution. ,f N D 'n da light transits between ports, VIP passengers and media represent- I Y ative: ipgto 50 in number can normally be accommodated, Overnight transits between ports must normally be limited to 9 passengers due to the accommodations available. - B-l V V , ,, V .,. , , H. -. -e J .-.I :..,.

The information contained herein shall not be construed as absolute, but as guidelines for the conduct of open house during this cruise. The Commanding Officer, USS DESOTO COUNTY is encouraged to exercise his good judgment and initiative in deviating from certain of these guidelines when the circumstances of a particular situation are conducive to such action. For example, it may be advisable to extend the recommended visiting hours if at the end of the scheduled hours there are still a large number of visitors waiting to come aboard and it is the last day in the particular port. 2. SPECIFICS. I . a. Recom ended visiting hours are 1000 to 1700 daily. This will allow general field day and titivation during the period.0800 to 0900 as well as the handling of visits by special groups, news media, etc. during the period 0900 to 1 b. The Doctor and corpsman should be readily available during visiting hours in order to handle emergency first aid and treatment as required. I c. Unescorted children younger than l2 years oflage should not be allowed on board. , d. Distinctive and numerous route signs should be prominently posted so as to control traffic flow of visitors in a positive manner. e. The ladies' powder room shall be meticulously clean prior to commence- ment of open house, and shall be clearly and prominently marked. b f. No smoking shall be allowed on board during visiting hours except in , those-spaces exclusively reserved for the crew and out of sight pf the flow of visitors. g. Bluejackets andfor Marines should be judiciously stationed along the visiting route in order to answer questions. A distinctive Efmband marked HINFORMATIONH would seem to be appropriate. h. 'Positively ensure that visitors do not enter restricted areas, engineering spaces, etc. - KU - i:'BF1I-1 N., ,. .. ..., ..... :- -if-T-A-ra-'52-r2:.14::-914... 55s:vz1r:.:rsi9i11:'i5l7Y . , - .. -- 1.-rv --,, '1 ::.

Great Lakes visitors to the DeSoto County will see color films of the NAVYFMAR NE CORPS TEAM in action on,a panora ic-movie-screen in the LST. The screen and films, known as the Cine-Globe Cruiser Theater, are the same as those attracting large audiences at the NAVYAMARINE CORPS New York World's .Ihir exhibit. There will also be an.impressive FOUR OCEAN CHALLENGE exhibit. The focal point of this presentation will be the projection of colorful slides, with accompanying soundtrack narration by Admiral McCain, in which he points out the vital role SEAPOWER and the NAVYQMARINE CORPS TEAM play in meeting the FOUR OCEAN CHALLENGE facing our country today. Many inland area citizens will get their first look at the deterrent power of the Navy's Polaris missile. DeSoto County will carry a full-scale model of this twomstage ballistic missile, which today can strike a target more than 2,000 miles away from its hidden submarine launcher. For a closeeup View of modern ground combat weaponry, U.S. Marines from units of the Fleet Marine Force Atlantic, commanded by Lieutenant General James P.
