Those were the words that echoed through the passageways on the morning of 26 March 1999 aboard USS HALYBURTON. Just two days prior the world had learned of the United States ' committment of troops to the Kosovo conflict. HALYBURTON, driven by her motto: ' Not for Self but for country ' put the engines ahead flank and steered a course to answer her call to duty.

North Carolina. His enrollment at Davidson Col- lege, WHERE HE PLANNED TO PRE- PARE HIMSELF FOR THE MINISTRY, WAS PUT ASIDE TO GO INTO THE SER- VICE. For extraordinary hero- ism WHILE SERVING ON OKINAWA with the marine rlfle company, Second Battalion, Fifth Ma- rines, First Marine Division, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. It was on lO MAY 1945, UNDAUNTED BY THE DEADLY ACCURACY OF ENEMY COUNTERFIRE AS HIS UNIT PUSHED THE ATTACK THROUGH A STRATEGI- CALLY IMPORTANT DRAW THAT Halyburton unhesitatingly dashed across the draw and up the hill into an open, fireswept field where the company ad- vance squad was suddenly pinned down under a terrific concentration of mortar, ma- chine gun and sniper fire with the resultant severe casual- TIES. Moving steadily forward barrage, he reached the wounded Marine who lay far- thest AWAY AND WAS RENDERING FIRST AID WHEN HIS PATIENT WAS STRUCK A SECOND TIME BY AN EN- EMY bullet. Instantly placing himself in the direct line of fire, he shielded the fallen fighter with his own body and staunchly continued his ministrations although con- stantly menaced by the slash- ing fury of shrapnel and bul- lets falling on all sides, alert, determined, and com- pletely unselfish in his con- cern for the helpless ma- rine, he preserved in his ef- forts until he, himself, sus- tained mortal wounds and col- lapsed, heroically sacrificing himself that his comrade might live. Also named in Halyburton ' s honor are: a road at the national naval Medical Center, Bethesda. Maryland; Halyburton quar- ters at the Naval Station, Charleston, South Carolina: and Halyburton Barracks at the Naval Aerospace Medical Center, Pensacola. Florida. Commanding Officer CDR William F.

Dur- ing his tour PEGASUS conducted law enforcement and opposition force operations, and was awarded the Battle Efficiency E and Joint Meritorious Unit Award. On leaving PEGASUS in July 1 993, he attended the Naval War College in Newport Rl. Commander Larson was next assigned on the staff of the Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic initially as Section Head for Command and Control Warfare, and subsequently as Branch Head for Nuclear and Proliferation Policy. CDR Larson assumed command of USS HALYBURTON October 21 , 1 998. Commander Larson ' s personal awards include the Defense Mentonous Service Medal, Navy Meritorious Seivice Medal, Navy Commendation Medal with gold star and the Navy Achieve- ment Medal with two gold stars in addition to various service medals and unit awards.

CDR Larson SHOWS HIS NEW- FOUND FRIEND, RAFAEL, AROUND HALYBURTON in naples, thereturned out to be no truth to the rumor that Rafael was aboard as the prospective CO. CDR Larson assumed command in Oct of 1998. He arrived just after HALYBURTON had STRUGGLED TO COMPLETE ENGINEERING CERTIFICA- TIONS NECESSARY FOR DEPLOYMENT. JUST MONTHS LATER. HALYBURTON WAS RECEIVING HIGH PRAISE FROM THEATER COMMANDERS FOR HER OUSTANDING TURN-AROUND AND PERFORMANCE DURING HER SUC- CESSFUL DEPLOYMENT. Executive Officer LCDR Gregory S. Higgins USS HALYBURTON FFG-40 «% LCDR Higgins, born in Union, New Jersey, attended Villanova University, lo- cated in Villanova Pennsylvania. He re- ceived a BE in Electrical Engineering and was commissioned through the NROTC program in May 1985. Fol- lowing commissioning he completed Basis Surface Warfare Officers school. LCDR Higgins first tour was on board USS EXPLOIT (MSO 440), stationed in Newport Rhode Island, where he served as Supply officer. While there he quali- fied a variety of watch positions, includ- ing Officer of the Deck underway, Engi- neering Officer of the watch (EOOW), and qualified as a Surface Warfare Of- ficer. In February 1988 he transferred to USS CAPODANNO (FF 1093), also homeported in Newport, where he served as Navigator and Administration officer. LCDR Higgins started his first shore tour in September 1989, reporting to Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington DC where he served as Executive assistant to the Deputy Commander NAVSEA (Surface Combatants). Upon completion of department head school in March 1991 , LCDR Higgins reported to USS McCLUSKY (FFG 41), forward deployed to Yokosuka Japan, as Combat Systems Officer.

Renaud USS HALYBURTON FFG-40 Master Chief Renaud checked aboard USS HALYBURTON just days before deployment, but it did not take long for his impact to be felt throughout the crew. He was the the driving force behind helping to keep the morale of the crew high during a demanding MEF deployment. Advancement onboard HALYBURTON is at its highest rate in years and that can be directly attributed to Master Chief Renaud and his dedication to his shipmates. A former Navy exam writer, he offers a unique perspective to the sailors to help them succeed on their respective advance- ment exams. Whether he is running on the ' HALYBURTON Race Track ' or out on the deck plates, Master Chief always has time to lend an ear to the crew. 26MAR 26MAR-02APR 03APR-06APR 06APR 09APR 21APR-26APR 29APR-03MAY 04MAY-05MAY 07MAY 08MAY 11MAY-14MAY 15MAY 16MAY-21MAY 22MAY-25MAY 26MAY-29MAY 01JUN-06JUN 07JUN-10JUN 13JUN-16JUN 17JUN-27JUN 28JUN-01JUL Depart Naval Station Norfolk, Deploy MEF 99-3 TRANSLANT, TR Battle Group Inport Rota, Spain, INCHOP SIXTH FLEET Transit Strait of Gibraltar Arrive Adriatic Sea in support of OPERATION NOBLE ANVIL Inport Naples, Italy Inport Haifa, Israel Transit Suez Canal, INCHOP FIFTH FLEET Swim Call in Red Sea Brief Stop for Fuel in Aden, Yemen Inport Muscat, Oman Transit Straits of Hormuz, escort M VI Buffalo Soldier Inport Manama, Bahrain - Gas Turbine Change Out OPERATION SOUTHERN WATCH - MIO Inport Kuwait City, Kuwait MIO - Northern Arabian Gulf Central Arabian Gulf (NAG CAG) MIO SURGE - NAG Inport Manama, Bahrain TACEVALEX SHAREM 128 - CAG Gulf of Oman Inport Manama, Bahrain 02JUL- 04JUL 05JUL- 10JUL- 12JUL- 17JUL- 21JUL- 23JUL- 25JUL- 29JUL- 13JUL 09JUL 11JUL 15JUL 20JUL 22JUL 24JUL 28JUL 31JUL MIO - NAG CAG Hump Day Independence Day Celebration MIO - NAG ESCORTEX - Straits of Hormuz (SOH) Transit MIO - NAG Inport Doha, Qatar Enroute Gulf of Oman, SOH Transit Inport Muscat, Oman GULFEX - Gulf of Oman Enroute NAG 01AUG-03AUG MIO - NAG 04AUG-07AUG Inport Manama, Bahrain 09AUG-11AUG MIO SURGE - NAG 12AUG-15AUG MIO - NAG 17AUG-18AUG Final port visit in Manama, Bahrain!! 19AUG-22AUG Transit enroute Aden, Yemen 23AUG BSF - Aden, Yemen 24AUG-26AUG Transit enroute Aqaba, Jordan 27AUG-30AUG Inport Aqaba, Jordan 31AUG-02AUG Transit enroute Suez Canal VADM Moore Visit 03SEP 03SEP 04SEP-07SEP 08SEP-12SEP 13SEP 13SEP-20SEP 22SEP Transit Suez Canal INCHOP SIXTH FLEET Transit enroute Palma de Mallorca, Spain Inport Palma de Mallorca, Spain INCHOP SSECOND FLEET TRANSLANT - Hurricane Evasion RETURN TO HOMEPORT, NAVAL STATION NORFOLK, PIER 20 LET ME INTRODUCE THE OFFICERS AND CREW OF HALYBURTON...

Of course the HALYBURTON sailors remained flexible and as you can tell from the following pages they still managed to have a great time. After racing across the Atlan- tic at top speeds the crew enjoyed a brief stop in Rota, Spain. The stop allowed HALYBURTON to refuel and prepare for their upcom- ing participation in the Kosovo Conflict. The port visit also allowed (from 1 to r) STG3 Beuck, GM1 Shwartz, TM2 Goodman, and OS2 Lopez to enjoy a round of golf on the local base course. «a lw u i The stop in Naples allowed sailors to enjoy trips to Rome that were organized by MWR. STG3 Peters, LTjg Mirelez, TM2 Goodman, and STG3 Beuck pose in front of some Roman ruins (above). Haifa, Israel ranked as one of the top port visits. It was the ship ' s last port visit in the Mediterranean before spending the next four and one half months in the Arabian Gulf. Highlights included MWR sponsored day trips to the Holy Land. FC3 Key (above) and SN Zamora enjoy the scenery in Jerusalem. In the Holy Land, sailors were able to visit the birth- place (left) and crucifixion of Jesus. rw rtiSfl a SN Brandon (right) decides to get in the local spirit and lose the dungarees for his newfound liberty attire. It appears as though ENS Violette. LCDR Boyle, and LTjg Mirelez (from left to right) are also enjoying the local ' spirits.

HMH Palma de lAallorca, Spain The final stop before Naval Sta- tion Norfolk was Palma de Mallorca, Spain. This was one of the port visits that was canceled due to the tension in Kosovo in April, 1 999. It appears as though STG2 Hickman is enjoying his stay in Palma as OSSN Adams wonders where he lost his date. _j A VH1 P |The Captain (left) and || lir.r |X0 (right) with the iri Palace Girls. jn| r jiiil r |xo (rig ■ • ' • irjJL iff ? !

' America the Beautiful Steel Be ch Picnics When the schedule permitted, a crew favorite was the famous HALYBURTON ' Steel Beach Picnics. ' The picnics were a welcome relief in the 110 de- gree plus temperatures in the Arabian Gulf. SM2 Batson enjoys a cold beverage as Disbo looks on. Perhaps the highlight of the cruise (No! Not when TM2 Goodman took his shirt off!) was when the CSO, LT Gombert received a pie in the face courtesy of TM2 during the 4th of July ' Hump Day celebration. Steel Beach Picnics Suppo (far right) checks to make sure the sliders are up to the usual HALYBURTON standards. With a demainding under- way schedule, a crew of over 200 and very little storage space, underway replenishments became part of the regular routine aboard HALYBURTON. The crew completed seemingly countless un- reps during the 6 month deployment with several different nations. Team 2 makes preparations to go alongside.
