Everett Larson (DDR 830) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1953 volume:

_-•- He watched her every motion; he kept his gaze riveted upon her as a loving man who watches the unselfish toil of a delicate woman upon the slender thread of whose existence is hung the whole meaning and joy of the world. We all watched her. She was beautiful. We admired her qualities aloud, we boasted of them to one another, as though they had been our own . . . She was born in the thundering peal of hammers beating upon iron, in black eddies of smoke, under a grey sky . . . The clamorous and sombre stream gives birth to things, of beauty that float away into the sunshine of the world to be loved by men. She was one of that perfect brood. Less perfect than many perhaps, but she was ours, and, consequently, incompar- able. Joseph Conrad (The Nigger of the Narcissus) The Cruise and Crew of the Everett F. Larson DDR-83D In fHcmary of Put Eurrrtt iFrr crtrk Earamt, UMMML Private First Class Everett Frederick Larson, USMCR Born Sept. 3, 1920 in Stamford, Conn. He enlisted in the USMCR Jan. 13, 1942 and served until killed in action on Guadalcanal on Oct. 8, 1942. He was awarded the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, the Presidential Unit Citation, and the Asiatic-Pacific campaign ribbons. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving with the First Marine Division during action against enemy Japanese forces on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, on Oct. 8, 1942. With utter disregard foi his own personal safety, Private First Class Larson braved the intense fire of the enemy to swim the MATANIKAY in a heroic attempt to rescue a wounded comrade. His valiant and self-sacri- ficing action, in which he lost his life, was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. INTRODUCTION The Larson has sailed from Newport for the Mediterranean early in every January since 1948. This book is a kind of record of her sixth successive cruise. Since it is the only such record that has been put together and published, we have tried to make of it more than the sim- ple history of missions accomplished and ports visited during this one voyage. Instead, you will find here an attempt to catch something of the spirit of a ship in whose life this year ' s cruise is but an episode. For after a time any ship develops a character of its own which is seem- ingly independent of the individuals on board, though each contributes something to it. The Larson is no exception. Not even her most Ancient Mariner has been with the ship since commissioning. And all of us will undoubtedly have gone long before she is finally relegated to some rusting backwater or scrap heap. In this book we have tried to preserve this intangible quality; to show it to our families and friends, or to stran- gers who may have no idea of what a destroyer is, much less the things one does or skills required to do them. The Larson is a Radar Picket Destroyer, which sounds very special. It signifies only a specialty. All destroyers, past, present, or future, whether designated General Purpose (DD) Escort (DDE) or Radar Picket (DDR) are much alike. They are fast, as ships go, narrow of beam, rough in a seaway, handy in a fight. Peace or war, they do the work. Nowadays most Atlantic based destroyers are rotated to the Mediter- ranean for five month periods — perhaps not as often as the Larson, - but it is a routine assignment, nevertheless. There is nothing spectacular in it. The work at sea is hard and the liberty ashore is good. Each ship has its share in waging a guiet war the Navy is winning through the presence of strength and the creation of good will among foreign peo- ples. The Larson is only one of many doing this same important and almost anonymous job. In the following pages you will find shipboard scenes, fleet opera- tions, ports of call familiar to most Deslant sailors. You may see faces here and there which you recognize as those you know, or love. But it is our hope that you will discover something more. Then you may understand the reason why we take a particular pride in this one ship. Why we who have served in her think of the Larson not merely as one of many, but as one among many.

USN Ens ' THE WARDROOM Through traditional usage the term Wardroom has come to embrace both the Wardroom itself and the officers who are members of it. If your ordinary landlubber knows what the Wardroom of a Naval Vessel is, he probably has little idea of its significance to the ship. It is true that it is the place where the commissioned officers are served their meals, and where they can spend leisure time in comparative comfort. It is further true that no such lux- uries are available to enlisted men, — although the Chief Petty Officers Mess is reputed to serve better food. There was even once a Secretary of the Navy who advocated the abolishment of the Wardroom altogether as undemocratic. So much for public, and civilian opinion. The Wardroom has an importance to a ship far greater than the creature comforts it allegedly affords the officers; which, in a destroyer underway, can be less than negligible. The Wardroom, by tradition and by its very existence, is a mark of privilege which must be deserved. Privilege above the ordinary for those who assume responsibility above the ordinary. Only when the privilege or the authority is abused is there legitimate resentment of this institution. There is another equally important aspect of the Wardroom. Almost without exception its appearance and the conduct of the officers in it set the tone of a ship. Their example is invariably followed by the crew. Even the conversation at the table has a way of filtering through the ship. The effect of congeniality and loyalty cannot help but bolster morale and confidence. Loose talk and discontent can do the greatest harm. You can judge the morale and physical condition of nearly every ship by the appearance, courtesy and atmosphere of her WR.

T-i - _ - •■:■. - f ' ■si Operations Department ' O Division lvision OPERATIONS The Operations Department has a some- what unique position in the Larson. The other Departments perform functions which are much the same in any type destroyer. Even the Communications Division and Operations is different from that in other ships; Radio and Visual etc. being in no way different. But the O Division, — which embraces CIC and Electronics, — covers the the operation of special radar equipment and those jobs required of a Radar Picket. Its function supplies the R in DDR. It is the Larson ' s specialty which the Radarmen and Elec- tronics Technicians believe she does especially well. Be that opinion as it may, the pressure is always on them when working with the Fast Carriers in the Med. During the Sixth Fleet maneuvers, whether the ship remained in the destroyer screen around the heavy ships or was sent out as a picket, the CIC and elec- tronics personnel got very little sleep. All radars had to be manned and kept working at peak efficiency to detect opposition aircraft at the greatest possible ranges. Combat Air Patrol of our own Carrier ' s jets are frequently assigned the ship for control for long periods. The detection and interception of enemy raids requires the most exacting coordination, both within the ship and with the other ships of a force. The excellent reputation for Air Defense which the Larson achieved in the Med was largely due to the skill, reliability and endurance of the officers and men of the Operations Department. t dS S ' « U,, F Division 1st Divisic 2nd Div Offloading the jeep GUNNERY The primary mission of a destroyer, as the name itself implies, is to inflict damage. In the early types the em- phasis was on torpedoes. Later this was shared with surface gunnery. A modern destroyer must have three kinds of firepower to undertake the many tasks which have been heaped upon it; anti-aircraft, surface, and anti- submarine. Although a DDR carries no torpedoes, she can amply meet this re- quirement. The three twin five inch gun mounts are equally effective against air or surface targets. The forty millimeter battery, — three quad and two twin mounts, — is primarily for use against aircraft at close range, such as strafing and rocket attacks. The underwater battery is composed of anti-submarine rockets and depth charges. The combination of all these is formidable. The amount of training and maintenance required to keep them operating at wartime efficiency is great. Add to this the responsibility of the Deck Divisions for the topside ap- pearance of the ship and you have most of the function of the Gunnery Department. So long as destroyers are judged by how smart they look and how well they shoot, it will be the sin- gle most important one. 40 mm guns The Walrus and the Carpenter . ' haleboat Fueling, at se Cleaning (?) the side Ruddy makes a long heave 1st Division heaves around on 1 Dreams of glory — b Sonarman on watch SUPPLY In almost every way of life one tends to forget those who perform the routine but vital tasks which make that particular life possible. So it is aboard ship. The preparation and serving of food, the requi- sitioning and storing of supplies and provisions, the operation of the Laundry, Ship ' s Store, Sick Bay and Barber Shop, the accounting and disbursing of funds, — none of these appear as important or in- teresting as, say, the firing of a 5 gun or the detec- tion of an unidentified air contact on the radar scope. Suspend any of these activities for a few hours, however, and you will discover only too quickly their importance. This is not to suggest that these jobs are in some obscure way heroic or glamorous. No work in a destroyer is alamorous, and where every man has a General Quarters station, heroism, if such there be, must be divided pretty evenly. Neverthe- less, a great deal depends on whether these day to day things are done well or not. You will look hard to find a happy or efficient ship with a poor General Mess, an inadequate Ship ' s Store, and an ill-man- aged laundry, for instance. And a Supply Office which never gets around to procuring the requisi- tion of the various departments can ham-string the best trained ship in the Navy. The tasks of supply are not thankless; no thanks are required for per- forming them any more or less than others aboard ship. But the degree to which they are done can contribute inestimably to the physical welfare of a ship and are most accurately reflected in the morale and appearance of the crew. son laund r o-rnat  x-ch h° lx ° Calling Dr. Brown AS Old Navy barber E Division ' R Division Another western bites the dust ENGINEERING Engineers are a strange breed, a race apart. It is hard to explain how a man gets to be one, and since they appear to be unable to explain it themselves, the matter remains shrouded in mystery. The normal human beings who inhabit the pure air of the upper decks re- gard them, when they occasionally emerge from the depths, with amazement and curiosity. For though they look and move like other men, they are distinctly differ- ent. Their eyes blink continuously in the unaccustomed light of day. Their skin, when visible beneath oil stains, has a curious pallor like that of some ancient cave dweller. Their walk, too, tends to be stooped and shambling, suggesting an earlier and less attractive stage of evolution. And as for their uniforms . . . So runs the opinion of uncouth Deck Apes. But operating and maintaining the Engineering plant of a destroyer is not a matter of opinion. It is the primary job in any steam driven ship and even more essential in a destroyer. For a destroyer must not only be capable of high speed. Destroyers, more than any other ship in the Navy, have to be ready to go at all times. They are the race horses of the fleet who are also the work horses. And the responsibility for keeping them going, whether they have to shoot, chase submarines, patrol a harbor entrance, or deliver guard mail, falls entirely on the Engineers. If they fail, everything stops; all motion through the water, power for lights, radars and coffee pots, guns, pumps for fire mams, etc.; the ship, though still afloat, effectively dies. Which is not merely an Engineering Officer ' s nightmare. It can happen. In this connection it may be interesting to note that the Larson has not failed to meet any operational commitment how- ever small for the past two years. And that her Engineer- ing spaces have been the showplace of the ship at all inspections. Perhaps the Engineers do seem a mite strange to topside idlers. They just happen to be busy with making the ship run most of the time. l v T ®hr Aurintt fHarturrs From left to right: Kimmerly, T. F , Breton, R. A., Richardson, R. H ., Bush, I A , Jr., Harford, H.

O ' Donnell, E A , GM1 Stokes, E. L W , TN Dollhopf, R M , SN The heart and backbone of any crew are the old hands. Others come, stay a while, contribute something or take something away, but these remain. Captains, Execs, De- partment heads, the Ancient Mariners have seen them come and go. Some were hard, some easy, one wanted it done this way and another that. These men can tell you about them all without bitterness or enthusiasm, like a story which they have watched unfold, year after year, until even the most unpleasant parts become mellow in memory and yarn spinning. Meanwhile the ship goes on and they become a part of her and, beyond any doubt, the ship a part of them. Several are now in their eighth year on board. Certainly they have had opportunities for transfer to larger ships or to soft billets ashore. But no, they preferred to remain. The ship is in their blood. Though few would perhaps admit it, the ship is their life. Someday they will leave, of course. Orders will come which cannot be changed. But others will take their places at setting the example, squaring the new- comers away, and telling the old sea stories of things that happened even before they came on board. So the tradition of a ship is handed down and passed along. These are the men in the Larson who have been aboard for a full cruise or more. They are the unofficial custodians of unwritten tradition. Aside from their experience, and reliability, they are responsible for more good things in the ship than could ever be measured.

G Crossing the Big Pond Twas bitter cold the morn we set sail Fueling at sea Oran, Algeria, our first port of call in the Mediterranean Sea THE CRUISE A destroyer goes to the Med for two reasons. The first is simple: to be ready to fight in an area where combat is most likely to take place in the event of war. The second is not so simple because it is part of a diplomatic policy. American warships in the Mediterranean are a constant reminder of our strength, — to those who count on our support and to those who would guestion it. American sailors ashore are ambassadors of our society and form of government, whether they want to be or not. By and large, they are good ones. Each ship and each man has a part to play in such a scheme. At sea the Sixth Fleet usually operates as a Fast Carrier Group under wartime conditions. Refuel- ing and replenishing are done at sea, day, night, or in any kind of weather. Air operations go on around the clock. The Carriers with their accompanying cruisers and screen of destroyers range the length and breadth of the Mediterranean — from Gibraltar to the Dardanelles; simulating strikes on land bases, repelling at- tacks by land based aircraft and submarines. When a particular operation is over, the fleet splits up. The ships proceed singly and in small groups to widely scattered ports in Spain, North Africa, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey. There are no concentra- tion of sitting ducks to tempt a treacherous enemy. Yet the fleet can concentrate for action in a short space of time. Ordinarily a ship does not visit the same port twice in a single cruise, so that the crew gets a chance to see and mingle with the widest variety of foreign peoples. For performing his part in a diplomatic mission each sailor receives the opportunity for an education in return, — not to mention a most unusual shopping tour. This year ' s, cruise was both successful and enjoyable for the Larson. The ship participated in every fleet exercise and made an enviable record in all phases of operations; seamanship, gunnery, anti-submarine warfare, and her specialty, air defense. Although there was considerable bad weather at sea, the periods in port were favored with day after day of clear Mediterranean skies; egually perfect for sightseeing, shopping, or simple cafe sitting. If such was the deal, — fair weather in port and foul at sea, — all but a few went along with the idea. It was a happy ship, then, that sailed from Gibraltar for Newport in mid-May. In their sea bags were presents from all parts of Europe for wives, sweethearts, and children, and the prospect of much liberty and leave with five months in the Navy Yard ahead. And also in the bag was another prospect by no means less important: the Battle Efficiency Pennant as a reward for many tasks well done.
