HOOPER LT USN 3 Win N.: I . ,-I ls' 9+ if F ' 1 I-. as I i 5 1 'J Q. it jr A' A .L N CAPTAIN A. W. CRANDALL E E LPH 7 I I The Executive Officer of GUADALCANAL, Captain E. A. 5 COOPER 'oined the Na in 1955 and in the 23 ears he has . I VY Y P served some significant changes have taken place, he notes, We've gone from a log of ships to a smaller number, airplanes are now more complex, carriers have gone from 37 to 70 tons displacement, and l've seen some improvements in the pay. l have also seen the All-Volunteer force from the Navy standpoint, I don't know if it is as effective as the draft I was. Q The six foot ?? inch, 2?? pound XO commented that all of his ' sea duty has been on carriers except for the GUAD. As for morale, it was down during the Vietnam-era, but now I think it's improving. I lt was a good MED cruise. My only disappointment was that the sailor didn't have a chance to see some of the ports that I visited, both historically and plain old liberty-wise. Palma, Athens, Malaga, and San Marinos are a few of the better ones. As for a future assignment, l'd like to stay in the Norfolk area. And when that hitch is up, l might just decide to retire. l'll have 24 years in and l'll be 46. That leaves 24 years for a civilian job to retire and l think that might be marketable. l don't want to sit back in a rocking chair. The fleet sailor of today is a little better than the fleet sailor of yesterday, but as for the sailor being better in the future, a lot will depend upon the pay studies, retirement,the draft, and that sort of thing. The one problem we have today is that the younger sailor feels he can get out of the Navy by breaking his contract just like a civilian job. That is because it is an 'All-Volunteer' force. 4 COMMAND Commanding Officer, Captain A. W. CRANDALL, has completed his second MED cruise. This was his first, and probably last, aboard USS GUADALCANAL. As for future plans, the 23-year Navy man said, They iwashingtonl have nominated someone to relieve me. But 800A of Navy Captains have a chance of going to Washington, and l don't know if l really like that. As long as the Navy remains an interesting challenge and motivating, l'll stay, l've never had a set time. l've frequently considereding resigning or retiring, but something about the Navy always keeps me in. As for MARG 2-77, Captain CRANDALL said, We didn't get all the good liberty ports that we wanted, but orphans in Barcelona and Marseille were glad that we showed up. The crew can be justifibly proud of its accomplishments during the cruise. There was overall good behavior and we represented the United States as good ambassadors. Now if you ask a sailor what was on GUADALCANAL during the last MED, there is no comparison. Being out at anchorage for 75 days is hard on anyone. Mail service was a little slow, but the people at Kennedy tried. The problem was that not enough mail was leaving from the ship so, inturn, the mail problem was a fact of as she will give, then she will receive. UGUADALCANAL is a steamer, she has operated in fair weather and foul, in almost every kind of exercise and has done the job well, if not better than average. l've been very proud of the crew. When there is a sense of purpose, we all seem to pull together. We went through a few inspections, but the men in Washington, Type Commanders and Fleet Commanders are working towards reducing them. We will have to find a happy medium where we can cut down the inspections without reducing the defense strength we are serving for. EXECUTIVE AT SEA! lt is a pleasure for me to add a few comments in the USS GUADALCANALW cruisebook which was prepared to commemorate the Mediterranean deployment from 8 September 1977 to 13 March 1978. As my flagship, GUADALCANAL was in a sense the nerve center of Mediterranean Amphibious Ready Group 2-77. Throughout the deployment the officers and men of GUADALCANAL provided superb support to the Ready Group and the embarked Marine Amphibious Unit by providing passenger, mail, and cargo service to the combined task forces. This, of corse, was in addition to your primary mission of amphibious assault, an area in which you are second to none, as evidenced by GUADALCANAL receiving the Amphibious Assualt Award for Fiscal Year 1977. You made every commitment throughout a deployment that included two major NATO exercises and operations that were conducted throughout the Mediterranean area. ln adverse weather, search and rescue missions, medical evacuations during darkness, and other contingency operations to numerous to list, you have all proved your mettle time and time again. I am proud of all of you, and it was a great honor for me to fly my pennant in GUADALCANAL during these important operations. Most of all, it was and is a pleasure to ba a part of the GUAD-TEAM.

They are also responsible for movement on the Flight Deck and Hanger Deck, maintaining the aviation fuels supply system, and control of aircraft within the flight control zone. The department is responsible for crash salvage and fire fighting as necessary This department performs these functions through the utilization of three divisions totaling nearly 100 men, V-1 fFlight Deckl, V-3 fl-langer Deckl, and V-4 lFuelsl Divisions. With close coordination through Primary Flight Control, the three divisions work as a team to launch or recover and refuel aircraft to meet assault requirements or support troops ashore. The ship is capable of '.:' handling any type of helicopter in the Navy or Marine Corps inventory. GUADALCANAL usually deploys with UH-1N, AH-1.1, CH-46, and CH-53 aircraft on deck.

V-1 Long hours of hard work and hurry up and wait are the norm for the men of V-1 Division. Their primary responsibilities are launching, landing, and moving the wide variety of helicopters assigned to the ship. Though these tasks may seem simple to the untrained eye, they require a high degree of skill and concentration. The Landing Signal, Enlisted il.SEl, personnel 2 in their yellow jerseys 2 must guide aircraft to a safe landing on a deck that is often pitching and rolling ba dly, with only a few feet of clearance between obstructions. The men in the blue X jerseys ensure that the aircraft are secured to the deck after flight and again after all moves. With the ever-present danger of a crash and fire, the red-shirted men df the Crash and Salvage Crew stand ready to respond to any emergency at a 'al moment's notice. All of the men in V-1 Division must be familiar with a variety of tasks. Aircraft elevator operations, maintenance of firefighting equipment, and cargo handling are a few of the everyday evolutions handled by V-1 Division. Flexibility and a can-do spirit typify the men in the colored shirts. LT HEARN -,A 'ff-,fe I ,f as ti.

Their primary mission is to defend the GUADALCANAL against enemy aircraft, anti-ship cruise missiles, and surface craft. To accomplish this task, they utilize the following installed weapons systems: two Basic Point Defense Surface Missile System Launchers, two twin 3 l.50 caliber gun mounts, two twin CHAFFROC launchers, .50 caliber machine guns, and an entire amory full of small arms. FOX Division also does their share of taking care of the Marines on board, by having control ofthe ship's magazines and cargo holds which store the Marine's ammunition and associated equipment. The division recently earned a Surface-to-Air Missile E efficency award for a direct hit on a target drone in a graded exercise this past year.

This department of approximately 100 men provides the hot food, clean clothes, and crisp money that hopefully keeps the crew happy. The Supply Department's seven divisions are involved in almost every facet of shipboard life. All equipment and services needed by almost 600 men and the embarked marines are stored, catalogued, and issued thru its outlets. Its diversity is demonstrated by the numer of rates represented in the ini department: SK's, DK's, MS's, DP's, Sl-l's, and AK's are all available to provide responsive service. The department is responsible for distributing everything from candy to expensive aviation parts and services range from LCDH BOLUNG operation of the onboard computer to the laundry. i gy 5 1 - l' P ' -M- My .43 S-1 The S-1 Division personnel play a key role in keeping GUADALCANAL in top operating condition. They are our inventory and financial managers. Over 23,000 different type parts and commodities are stocked in the division's nine storerooms with a dollar value in excess of fB1,000,000.00. The stock ranges from such diverse items as repair parts for the ship's engines, radars, and guns, to paper, pens, brooms, and paint, without which the ship could not function. Last year, over fS970,000.00 was spent on these items by GUADALCANAL, in addition to the high cost items that have been prepaid by the Navy. It's obvious that being a boxkicker involves much more than just issuing a bale of FSQS OF 3 Q3Sket to 3 CUSTOITWGF. SK2 SANTOS SKSA JOHNSON 4-ini -ill. LT MARTINEC .

That's a lot of chow, approximately 112,000 meals per month! Yes, it takes an extra effort to provide proper prior planning, preparation, and serving of each meal.

These retail operations offer everything from candy bars to stereo units. The shlp's laundry processes all of the clothing soiled by GUADALCANAL's high tempo operations. The Barbershops provide free haircuts. They may not be the latest hairstyle, but the price is right. Last, but not least are the Vending Machines which offer the opportunity to hoist a cool one at the end of a hard day's work. All of the above activities are held together and supported by an excellant office staff, who also handle special orders for items that are not carried in stock. S-3 Divisional Motto is SERVICE WITH A SMILE , and each and every member of the division is committed to that motto in order to make life onboard the GUADALCANAL a little more comfortable for all hands. leash, 4 Zh A 41 ' V f SH2 RAYBURN :ff ' sH2 FEUCIANO ,, y 'Q Y Q4 SH2 ESTES .5,..a'.
