The ship was commissioned at Long Beach Naval Shipyard on May 28, 1966 and is assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. USS FOX (CG-33) is in Cruiser Destroyer Group Three. FOX is the third naval vessel to be named after Gustavus Vasa Fox, President Lincoln ' s Assistant Secretary of the Navy during the Civil War. Through Secretary Fox ' s encouragement, the Navy was committed to the use of Ironsides , and he was responsible for having naval engineering added to the curriculum at the U.S. Naval Academy. The first vessel to be named after Secretary Fox was Torpedo Boat 13, commissioned in July 1899. It served as an experimental vessel until decommissiond in 1916. The second vessel to be named after the Secretary was the destroyer FOX (DD-234), commissioned in May 1920. It served the Navy faithfully for 25 years from Constantinople to Dutch Harbor. The current FOX is one of the Navy ' s most modern and complex warships. She is 547 feet long, 55 feet wide, and has a full load displacement of 7,900 tons; her speed is in excess of 30 knots. Armament includes anti-submarine (ASROC) and anti-air (TERRIER) guided missiles. FOX was the first ship in the Pacific Fleet with the capability of launching both missile types from the same launcher system. The dual-purpose launcher increases the effectiveness of the ASROC missile by providing increased stowage capability and a protected magazine. The missile systems on board FOX can automatically locate, track, and engage enemy aircraft at extremely long distances. With the help of computer techniques they can destroy the enemy before he can get within range of a carrier task force the FOX is designed to protect. The ship is further equipped with two quadruple-cannister HARPOON surface-to-surface missle launchers, a five inch, 54 caliber gun, two MK 32 torpedo tubes and Vulcan Phalanx (Close in Weapon Systems]. Detection equipment includes the AN SQS-26BX Super Sonar , the AN SPS-48 radar, a three dimension, height-finding air search, computer controlled radar, and OUTBOARD, a sophisticated electronic warfare system. She is also equipped with the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) for high speed computer processing and dissemination of tactical information. FOX has been awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation for service in waters off North Vietnam from 12 July to 13 November 1967, the Battle E Ribbon, the Navy Expeditionary Medal for services in the Indian Ocean Persian Gulf from 30 October 1980 to 10 March 1981, the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal (with two stars). Humanitarian Service Medal (with one star), Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal. FOX is manned by a crew of 450 men and 33 officers. 18 Born in Saugus, Massachusetts, on June 13, 1821, Gustavus Fox entered the Navy as a midshipman in 1838. He served in cruising warships, inckiding Comodore Perry ' s squadron during the Mexican War, the Coast Survey and finally commanding U.S. Mail steamers plying the Atlantic coastal routes. Resigning from the Navy in 1856, he entered business in Lowell, Massachusetts. At the onset of the Civil War, he volunteered for service and received a temporary appointment as a Lieutenant in the Navy. In April 1861, he was dispatched in the steamer BALTIC to relieve Fort Sumter; before he could land his embarked troops, the confederate bombardments began and, after the surrender of the fort, he could only transport the remnants of Major Andersons Command back to New York. He was appointed Chief Clerk of the Nav ' in 1861 and at President Lincoln insistence, the office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy was created for him by congressional action in August of the same year. Fox was a forceful, outspoken individual with considerable experience in ocean going steamships and he soon gained Lincoln ' s confidence. By sheer force of personality, he rose to a dominant position in the direction of naval affairs within the Nav ' Department. Similarly, his influence in government circles afforded him a major role in the tactical as well as strategic direction of the naval aspects of the Union War effort. Fox resigned his position in 1866 to represent the President on a special mission to Russia. He then returned to business in Lowell, Massachusetts residing there until his death on October 29, 1883. 19 COMMANDING OFFICER Captain Paul E. Tobin graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1963 and reported to USS TOWERS (DDG-9) where he served as First Lieutenant and Main Propulsion Assistant. After graduating from the Naval Destroyer School in 1966, he was assigned as Engineer Officer in USS DAVIS (DD-937) where he was awarded a Bronze Star for operations associated with the salvage of the USS LIBERTY (AGTR-5) after that ship sustained heavy combat damage in the 1967 Mideast War. In 1968, Captain Tobin commenced postgraduate studies at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School which culminated in a Master of Science degree in Computer Systems Management. In 1970, he joined the staff of Naval Destroyer School as head of the Technical Training Branch and as an Engineering Instructor in the Department Head and PCO PXO courses. Captain Tobin reported as Aide and Flag Secretary to the Command- er, Naval Forces, Vietnam in 1971. He returned to sea duty in 1973 as Executive Officer in USS KOELSCH (FF-1049).

The Navy has several types of underway replen- ishment (UNREP) techniques that use ships fitted with special cargo-handling gear to make transfers from one ship to another while the two are steaming abreast. 83 VERTREP 84 VERTREP Vertical replenishment (VERTREP] is another form of underway replenishment in which cargo-carryng helicopters are used to transfer food, personnel, and ammunition.

I ' •• T-.-. m ,.-r-n PORTS OF CALL V THE PHILIPPINES The Republic of the PhiHppines is an archipelago consisting of about 7,100 islands and islets lying about 500 miles off the southeast coast of Asia. The Philippines takes its name from Philip II, king of Spain during the Spanish colonization of the islands of the 16th century. Manila, the national capital, is situated on Luzon, the largest island. Because it was under Spanish rule for 333 years and under United States ' tutelage for a further 48 years, the Philippines has many cultural affinities with the West. It is, for example, the only predominantly Roman Catholic country in Southeast Asia. Its peoples, however, are Asian in consciousness and in aspiration. A country of rich resources, it is in the process of developing its full potentialities. Educationally, it is among the most advanced of Asian countries, having a literacy rate of about 83 percent. 98 .■ ' m ' 3 ' ■ - - ' MOMBASA, KENYA An independent republic within the Commonwealth of Nations, Kenya is situated in East Africa astride the Equator. It is bordered on the north by Ethiopia and The Sudan, on the west by Uganda, on the south by Tanzania, and on the east by the Indian Ocean. Since its independence in 1963, Kenya has been overshadowed by the compelHng figure of its president, jomo Kenyatta, and the national slogan of HARAMBEE, or pulling together. It has tried to strengthen its traditional agricultural base and to augment it with other economic activities, particularly industry and tourism. Renowned for its abundant wildlife, Kenya has set aside vast preserves as protected domains for endangered species. The beauty and variety of the landscape, which include snowcapped mountains, lakes, grassy plains, and gently rolling hills, as well as the pleasant and sunny climate, are compelling attractions. In addition, Kenya ' s diverse tribal life styles - exemplified by the colorful cattle-raising Masai people who, although small in numbers, are internationally famous for their Spartan ways - have also contributed to an only partly mythical image of hfe in Kenya. Mombasa, the principal port of Kenya, handles all the import and export traffic of Kenya, Uganda, and the Northern Tanzanian Mainland. i mm M VJik. ' .. . . piVW SRI LANK Sri Lanka (known as Ceylon until 1972) is an independent island state in the Indian Ocean lying off the southeast coast of India. The capital of Sri Lanka is the port city of Colombo. Since gaining independence from the United Kingdom in 1948, Sri Lanka has been striving to secure economic stability - a problem accentuated by the rapid growth which has doubled over the past 25 years and is increasing. The economy is overwhelmingly dependent upon the export of tea. which represents sixty-five percent of all Sri Lanka ' s foreign exchange earnings. Sri Lanka is inhabited by a varied mixture of peoples who have immigrated to the island at intervals since remote times. The population is divided into several groups, the two principle linguistic groups are the Sinhalese, who generally are Buddhists and the Tamils, who generally are Hindus. Sri Lanka is a country of great beauty, with scenery varying from the palm fringed beaches of its coasts to the highlands of the interior, where the famous Buddhist Temple of the Tooth is loc ated at Kandy, once the capital of an independent kingdom. : .X ; • ' i ' J i k  « ' . : ' .
