To an extent, this is indeed true, but to those of us here in DELTA, the thing has been replaced by a very special kind of person. DELTA truly is apersong not just one person, but nearly six hundred of them. They are her spirit, and they breathe life into her hull. They Work hard and Well and have given her the reputation Which she has carried with her down through the years. They also play hardg and they Work diligently at doing things for others, earning for her the reputation of one of America's finest good-will ambassadors abroad. It is these six hundred, the men Who make DELTA the lady that she is, to Whom this book is dedicated. They are the story of DELTA, and they are her life.

SCABOO, USNR DELT DELTA was built as SS HAWAIIAN PACKER and originally designed for com- mercial use on the pineapple run between San F1'8HCiSC0 and H01101U1U- BSfO1'e completion she was acquired by the Navy. She WHS C01T11T1iSSi0Ued in June, 1941 HS a Cargo Ship QAK-295 and during her first year of service, made runs to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Iceland, Newfoundland, and Novia Scotia. On I July 1942, she was placed in a reserve status for conversion to a Eleet Repair Ship at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In her new capacity she sailed on 3 March I943 to join a convoy headed for North Africa. The convoy reached Mers El Kebir Oran on l9 March and DELTA moored alongside the mole where she immediately set to work repairing amphibious craft. During a short three months there she put in a total of llO,8OO man-hours working on 467 ships With the opening of the Sicilian and Italian campaigns, DELTA moved to Bizerte Tunisia late in July 1943 The following month, despite a series of air attacks by the Luftwaffe she worked on 248 ships and amphibious craft. The air raids reached their climax on the night of 6 September One of the planes shot down on that occasion was definitely credited to DELTA and another was recorded as a possible As the war moved so did DELTA She set up shop in Palermo, Sicily, in March, 1944 and at Pozzouli Italy that July At Pozzouli her Job was to get ships ready for the invasion of Southern France From there she went to Naples, Italy in August, to repair the damaged landing craft via Palermo to repair landing craft being returned to the United States. She did that until November when she was detached from the amphibs and returned to Mers El Kebir for duty as a destroyer repair ship for Commander Destroyer Squadron Sixteen In April 1945 DELTA arrived back in the States-- but not for long. After armament modifications and general repairs she left Norfolk, Virginia on I5 June 1945 for Pearl Harbor via the Panama Canal She reached Pearl on 6 July l945, worked there for a month then sailed for Eniwetok The surrender of Japan was announced while DELTA was at Eniwetok. She was ordered to rendezvous with Commander Task Group 30 8 off the Islands of Japan, and on 28 August she entered the Sagami Sea with advance units. Two days later, she moored off Yokosuka Naval Base where she was assigned to general Eleet 1-'SPHEI' Vlgirk She saw China Service in the year following the war's end. I H ebfuafy 1953 DELTA returned to the West Coast. She operated out of Cn the last day of September, 1944, the hard-working AR steamed for Bizerte, HISTORY San Diego and Long Beach for the next seven months, then returned to the Far East. This time, she saw service in Sasebo, Yokosuka and Subic Bay. She returned to San Diego in July 1954, where she joined Service Squadron One. On DELTA'S next Far East tour, which began in January 1955, she spent part of her time as the Flagship of Commander Blockading and Escort Force, Pacific Fleet. She returned to the West Coast that July, and the following month was ordered to the yard at Puget Sound for deactivation. She was decommissioned on 1 December 1955, and became a unit of the Bremerton Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet. Cold War was the word of the day for the next few years. As world tensions increased, so did the need for more mobile repair facilities in the Pacific Fleet. On 31 October 1959, DELTA was recommissioned by the crew of the Internal Com- bustion Repair Ship, USS KERMIT ROOSEVELT, at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. She sailed immediately for Long Beach, her new homeport. Her stay at home was 'short lived. On 12 April 1960, she sailed again for the Far East. As a unit of the U.S. Seventh Fleet and Service Squadron Three, she provided repair service in Sasebo, lwakuni and Subic Bay. On 21 December 1960, she returned to the States for what was expected to be an eighteen month stay. But again the need for repair services in the Far East called her away on short notice. She left Long Beach on 2 February 1962 and provided repair services in Sasebo, Okinawa, and Subic Bay. Work was accomplished on Seventh Fleet Ships supporting the U.S. Forces in Thailand and the Taiwan Patrol Forces. DELTA returned again to the States for a long stay, from August 1962 until Christmas Day 1963. She departed the day after Christmas for another deployment to the Far East, this time, providing services in Subic Bay, Sasebo, Iwakuni and Yokosuka. While serving the fleet, DELTA also served the good will of man with outstanding success in her visits to Moji, Japan and to I-long Kong. Her tour completed, DELTA returned to Long Beach in July 1964 for a long awaited yard overhaul. Upon completion of the yard period, she again provided re- pair services for the Fleet in Long Beach. On 1 July 1965, DELTA'S homeport was changed to Alameda, California, although she remained in Long Beach until sailing again for The Orient on 22 July 1965 for another eight month chapter in the 'history of a fine old ship. The jobs done on DELTA range from tightening the smallest bolt to the re- building of entire boilers and engineering plants on the ships she serves. No matter what the job, DELTA does her best to help the rest, in keeping with her motto: V DILIGENCE, DEPENDABILIT Y AND DEXT ERIT Y. r -, 2? gy -w A me 5? ,nl ..l ..f Q , rf' P 3 f ' SUPPLY GFFICER CDR J.S.

The variety of rates is an indication of the scope ofDC's respon- sibilities. D C-A, or the A Gang, is responsible for all auxiliary equipment on the ship, from the large diesel generator engines to the all- important steering gear machinery. Practi- cally all operating machinery not connected with the propulsion of the ship is the respon- sibility of the A Gang, for both operation and maintenance. As a bonus, they also care for the ship's boats and vehicles. D C-E is the electrical group, and their range of responsibilities is also quite Wide. These include all the obvious jobs, such as lighting and wiring circuits, electrical motors, etc., and the not so obvious, like boat generators, relay switches and coils, and the hundreds of other little things it takes to make a ship tick. D C-R is a sort of Jack-of-all-Trades department, Whose most important job is maintaining the water-tight integrity ofnthe ship. Their work load also includes fire- fighting and all other aspects o damage con- trol, as well as almost any repair job from patching plumbing pipes to rebuilding portable pumps. n Since the Repair Ship mustprovide serv- ices to the ships alongside, D C D1V1S10H may be called upon at any time of day Of night to rig electrical cables to a ship that doesn't have the use of her gener21tOrS, 01' to install steam lines, to provide hot water. cooking steam, and so on. In all, the mam' ,tenance of the gear required to keep DELTA in operation is a hard, complicated Job, and we of the D C Division proudly try to live up to the name of our softball team-The SUPG1' Snipes! km, Row I1 TCNIFKINS, FA, WALLACE, FA, LTJC BOWERg STAFFORD, MMC, HAWKINS EN3g SMAIL, MMS.

H Division, made up of six Hospital Corpsmen, one Chief Hospital Corpsman, and one Medical Officer, is concerned with main- taining the health of the crew and caring for the sick 'and the injured. At sick call, which is held daily, crew men are seen by Corpsmen and the Doctor: some may be directed to the laboratory for chemical analysis or micro- scopic studies: others may require physio- therapy, for which the ship is equipped with a heat lamp and a Whirlpool. Weights and braces may be rigged as necessary. A small portable X-ray machine is available and an operating room is maintained for minor surgery. Medicines are compounded in the pharmacy, and a great variety of tablets, ointments, and syrups are dispensed as pre- scribed by the Medical Officer. The Sick Bay, a nine bed ward for the care of the sick and injured, can be converted to a seventeen bed seagoing hospital in half an hour. In addition to individual medical care, medical department personnel conduct weekly sanitation inspections throughout the ship and make recommendations aimed at maintaining high standards of living conditions and pro- moting healthful and sanitary practices in food preparation and serving spaces.

A f1,,,.g A Q XXKHN vm 4'9- Q J? 51, M, if 0 ,fa The place was Long Beach, California on 22 July 1965. The crew were formed at Quarters for leaving port, and all the lines had been singled up. On the pier, small knots of women and children were anxiously looking up for a last smile from daddy, or a last kiss thrown from their husbands and sweet- hearts. In a few minutes, the whistle sounded, the order was given to cast off all lines, and DELTA began to back slowly away from the pier for the last time. Long Beach was now behind us, and the next thing in sight was the Orient. We weren't sure just where we'd be going, but we knew we'd not be home again for eight long months. We didn't know what we'd see, but we knew that we were going to work, and hard, to keep our fellow ships in the best possible condition for whatever action they might en.. counter. We knew that for eight months, we were going to visit many different ports, see many new and strange sights, shop for odd and interesting bargains in the far corners of the world, and write a lot of long letters home. . If we knew we were going to work hard, we also knew we were going to play hard, too. Though we knew we'd be lonely and home- sick, we also knew that we'd be making new friends in new places. Most of us were look- ing forward to it, too, for we also knew that the harder we worked, the faster the time would pass, and the sooner we'd be steaming in under the Golden Gate to our new home port in Alameda and our loved ones. 121 'ia 3 n I 1 5 hu?

In spite of a rainy day, out tour to Tokyo was a shining success.

And the American ' waitresses could learn a few new tricks here, IZOO. i Another very pleasant tour was our trip to Nikko, in the beautiful pine forests north of Tokyo. The trip included avisit to the Grand Shrine of Nikko, a drive over the scenic mountain roads and sightseeing at the waterfall at the top of the mountains. Ahighlight of the tour was staying overnight in a Japanese-style Inn, with all the Oriental fixtures. i I 'R -ff. 11 A i 1 , 5 I T J 1 'n E fi 1 i V I I W if I 1 ! 61 7 1 Everybody liked Yokosuka. There was shopping, lots of entertain- ment and parties to go to, the clubs on the base, and most of all, those beautiful 777 machines! s And then there was the First Class party at the Club Alliance.

Our first port after Yokosuka was Subic Bay, in the Philippines. As we steamed along the coast, we could see the jungles covering the hill- sides of the island and it just looked I-IOTI And it was hotg it was hot and busy. There was plenty of repair work to be done, and there were plenty of ways to try to keep cool, while we had our liberty. Some of us chose the beaches, and others tried acold San Miguel, as ways of relieving the heat. The bowling alleys were air-conditioned, and gota lot of trade from DELTA's men, too. Our sports program got intofull swing in Subic, too, with a busy schedule of softball games and league bowling. In all, we man- aged to forget about the heat, as best we could. Just outside the gate at Subic Bay is Olongapo. This town is one of the most thriving night club areas in the Pacific. From one end of town to the other are bars, but hidden on some of the side streets one finds scenery Whichis very typical of all the Philippines. af K, X. Xu-x '.y qc -1 B r v . 4?

This is the face that belies the richly modern downtown, with its shops and hotels. It tells the story of the people and not of the tourist.

Our bowling league got started in Yokosuka, and continued until we got to Kaohsiung. The softball league was active in Subic Bay, and the ship's softball team played at every opportunity and in every port where We found a challeng- er. Other sporting events came up, whenever we had the chance--swim- ming, water skiing and horseback riding were popular in Subic, while our chances were limited in the other ports, and we confined ourselves to less active programs.

Our last eight months were behind us, and our families and loved ones ahead, in a new home port, Alameda. It would be anew home for us, and a new career for DELTA, as the flagship of COMSERVRON SEVEN. For many of us, this will have been the first of many WESTPAC trips, and for others, the last. For all of us, it has been full of new faces and new sights. We shopped in the bargain centers of the Far East, and visited the many won- ders of the Orient. We made new friends and renewed oldfriend- ships, but we all are ready to re- new the best friendship of all, with our homes and families. 110 ex wx 111 L.

Ifelt as if I was lost, and well I would have been, without help. This help came from many peopleg they provided the spirit to sell the books to the crew, get the materials for the book, andputtogether the finished product. Pm especially grateful to Chief Ramon Block for his tireless assistance in layout, and to Gary Sams, PH2, and David Demartini, PH3' for their many hours in the photo lab. Thanks also to Gibbs, FTC2, Chief Chapman, and the many others who gave up their pictures for the book. I y D I I R. M. JOHNSTON I Editor Q I ,lx :?'j WALSWORTH Lilhogrcphed 6.
