DIACHENKO is the 306 foot, 1650 ton Hbabyi' of Amphibious Squadron Seven. As a high speed trans- port our mission is twofold: To approach a beach objective at high speed, launch and radar control boats carrying an Underwater Demolition Team or Marine Reconnaissance Team into the beach while retiring, to seag and to serve as Primary Control Ship during an amphibious assault. In addition to our major missions, DIACHENKO has been successfully used for gunfire support, anti-submarine war- fare, formation screening, and pony express. As you see, a versatile ship this definitely is. With so many diversified capabilities it is imperative that the crew of a ship such as this be constantly ready to shift from one task to another at a moment's notice. On several occasions during this cruise we were called upon to do just that, and during these times we showed the Seventh Fleet just how an alert and anxious warship operates. It is with great pride- and a satisfying sense of superior ac- complishment that we present this cruise book - the record of the 1963-1964 DIACHENKO WESTPAC CRUISE. In Quincy, Massachusetts during the summer of 1944 the last rivit was forced into the hull gf the USS ALEX M DIACHENKO KDE-6905 and she slid into the sea to join the Pacific Fleet and heip finish World War 11. But before the trip to the West Coast the ship was alerted slightly, and when commissioned on 8 December 1944, she became the USS DIACHENKO QAPD-1235, a fighting mem- ber of the United States Amphibious Fleet in the Pacific.
