ADMIRAL DONALD B. DUNCAN USS DUNCAN (FFG-10) is named for Admiral Donald B. Duncan, a distinguished Aviator who is best known as the architect of the Doolittle Tokyo raid of 1942. DUNCAN is the fourth ship to bear the same name. The first three were named in honor of Silas Duncan, a Revolutionary War hero. She is also the fourth OLIVER HAZARD PERRY Class Guided Missle Frigate. DUNCAN was built at Todd Shipyard, Seattle and was the first of her class to be launched by Todd Shipyard. Her keel was laid 1 April 1977. She was christened on 1 March 1978 and commissioned on 24 May 1980. DUNCAN is a multi-purpose combatant of 3600 tons displacement and 445 feet in length. She has gas turbine propulsion of 40,000 horsepower. The gas turbines are the marine version of the DC-10 jet engine and can be brought ON LINE in one-eighth the time required for a steam or nuclear powered ship. DUNCAN was the first of sixteen OLIVER HAZARD PERRY Class frigates to enter the Naval Reserve Force, thus giving them a modern training platform and unprecedented capability in modern warfare. Training and readiness are the primary mission of the Naval Reserve. In time of conflict DUNCAN can mobilize the selected reserves and be ready for combat operations. DUNCAN has a crew of 210 enlisted men and officers. However, only 60 percent are on active duty. The other 40 percent consist of local reservists who drill one weekend a month and two weeks during the year. PREVIOUS DUNCANS The first DUNCAN (DD 46) was commissioned 30 AUG 13 at Fore River Shipbuilding Co., Quincy, Mass. DUNCAN sailed along the east coast and in the Caribbean for training, target practice and exer- cises until 24 OCT 14 when she was decommissioned. Recommissioned 22 JAN 16, she sailed out of port for neutrality patrol in the Caribbean, protecting battle- ships in fleet maneuvers and guarding the entrance to the York River. DUNCAN escorted a convoy to Brest, France in October of 1917 and in November of arrived in Queenstown, Northern Ireland to escort convoys and hunt submarines in the Irish Sea. On 17 JUL 18 DUNCAN rescued the survivors of the Nor- wegian bark MIEFIELD and on 9 OCT 18, when USS SHAW (DD-68) collided with SS AQUTANIA, DUNCAN took off 84 of SHAW ' s crew, 12 of them wounded, and stood by while SHAW ' s remaining men took their ship into Portland, England, under her own power. Remaining in European waters a fter the war, DUNCAN joined in escorting USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, bearing President Woodrow Wilson, into Brest on 13 DEC. 18. DUN- CAN was decommissioned 9 AUG 21 after several years in ordinary and reduced commission. USS DUNCAN (DD 485) was commissioned 16 APR 42 at Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., Kearney, NJ. She arrived at Espiritu Santo in the South Pacific on 14 SEP 42, joining TFs 17 and 18 and escorted transports carrying the 7th Marine Regiment to reinforce Guadacanal. DUNCAN was in the screen of WASP (CV-7) the next day when she received torpedo hits and sunk. DUNCAN trans- ferred 701 survivors to other ships. On 11 OCT 42 while in the screen of TF 64 contact was made with a large enemy surface force. DUNCAN having a clear radar contact and seeing the flagship apparently closing the enemy and believing the enemy closing for attack, found herself charging alone toward the enemy force. She pumped several salvos in a cruiser, then shifted fire to a destroyer, at the same time maneuvering radically to avoid enemy fire. She sent two torpedoes towards the cruiser FURUTAKA and kept firing until hits she received put her out of action. The CO ordered the bridge, isolated by fire, abandoned. The crew attempted to beach the ship off of Savo Island. Salvage efforts failed and DUNCAN sank 12 OCT 42 about 6 miles north of Savo Island. The third DUNCAN (DDR-874) was commis- sioned 25 FEB 45 at Consolidated Steel Corp., Or- ange, Texas. She joined CABOT (CVL-28) for screen- ing and plane guard duty during the strikes on Wake Island of 1 AUG 85. She joined the 7th Fleet for patrol duty off the Chinese and Korean coasts during the landing of occupation troops at Tsingtao, Taku and Jinsen. DUNCAN served on occupation duty until 25 MAR 46 when she sailed for San Diego. DUNCAN departed San Diego for a 5 month cruise in May 1947. She visited Okinawa, China and Japan. On 1 MAR 48, off the Southern California coast, an explosion on board killed 2 and wounded 14. DUN- CAN steamed to the Far East again in NOV 1950 to serve three tours of duty during the Korean War. She sailed as plane guard for carriers and as ASW escort for battleships; she fired shore bombardments in support of minesweepers and to interdict enemy communications; she patrolled against North Korean minesweepers and fishing craft. After the war she returned to San Diego and continued a steady de- ployment schedule. She visited Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and many other South Pacific islands. She was decommissioned in 1973. CDR DENNIS M.

Between the stages of childhood and insecurity of a second childhood, we find a fascinating group of humanity, the SAILOR. The SAILOR comes in assorted sizes, shapes, weights, and looks. They can be found anywhere, on ships, on shore stations, in bars, on leave, in love and always in debt. Girls love him, towns tolerate them, and Uncle Sam supports them. The SAILOR is laziness with a deck of cards, bravery with a tattooed arm, and the protector of our country with a copy of Playboy. The SAILOR has the energy of a turtle, the slyness of a fox, the brains of an idiot, the stories of a sea captain, the sincerity of a liar, the tenderness of a cassanova, and when he wants something, it is usually connected in someway or another with a liberty card. The SAILOR likes women, girls, dames, and any of the opposite sex. They dislike answering letters, wearing uniforms, field days, watches, standing at attention, the chow, and getting up in the morning, on time. No one else can cram into one jumper pocket: a little black book, a comb, some change, his locker keys, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and his I.D. card and liberty card. The SAILOR likes to spend some of his pay on women, females, and just girls in general. He spends some of his money on poker games, subscriptions to any men ' s magazine, cigarettes, whiskey, beer, races, fights, and any other means of gambling. The rest of his money he spends foolishly. After months of seeing his fellow service buddies wooing their women, each SAILOR thinks he is a master of the art himself. The SAILOR is a magic creature that you can lock out of your house, but not your heart. You can scratch his name out of your address book, but not out of your mind. He ' s your far away from home lover, your husband, your son, your one and only, or your blurry eyed bundle of worry. All your dreams become insignificant when the SAILOR comes home with that tender loving phrase that has lasted for years, HIYA BABE, WHAT ' S FOR CHOW? I ' d like to thank Michelle for her help and understanding. Without her I wouldn ' t have gotten this project out of the planning stage. Larry, thanks for typing - I can ' t. Greg 80
