Unity through diversity is not their motto, however, for each person in every facet of the division is proud to be such a valuable member of the ship's company . On the surface the ship's office would appear to be one unified section. Upon closer examination, though, one finds that two ratings are present here-yeoman, the men who maintain the ship's paperwork and the personnelmen-the men who maintain the ship's service records. Although they seldom get along between them together they modestly claim to be the Hub of the ship and responsible only to the Executive Officer. The postal clerks, on the other hand, assert that unless the mail is delivered the crews morale would be so low that effective work would be impaired. Therefore they are the Hub. Of course, the chief corpsman states that without him everyone would be too sick to H work. Hence he is the Hub. The quartermasters make no such extravagant claims but do quietly admit that the ship would never find its way across the ill charted seas without their expert navigation . Throughout the deployment this, the administrative division of the ship, functioned in an admirable if not outstanding manner. Their record speaks for itself-a job well done. YNC R. W.

R02 T' D' Wheeier RD3 S. J. lVlcAdamis SN R, A. Wessel RDSN Vincent The ECNI Watch Amidst the quiet hum of the radar repeaters situated in a dimly lit space sits the ever vigilant radarman. His job: keep the bridge continually informed of the tactical situation. Although not always vigilant and not always informed, he is, nevertheless, a valuable member of the ship's company. The basic functions of CIC have been succinctly described as collection evaluation, and dissemination. A radarman collects the information by radar, radio telephone and other pieces of electronic gear. ln order for this information to be of anyvalue, however, it must be assembled into some meaningful form and interpreted. This is evaluation. Dissemination is the process by which the information is distributed to the ship's vital areas-principally the bridge. CIC stands as one of the most complex centers of the ship. In order to cope with the functioning of his numerous pieces of equipment in addition to the influx of tremendous amounts of information the radarman must keep an alert and flexible mind. Throughout the deployment the men in CIC did a commendable job. They aided in gunfire support, prevented collisions, kept abreast of hostile contacts, enabled the ship to rescue downed pilots, and men overboard to name a few. It is to them this portion of the cruise book is dedicated.

OC Div-Operations, Communications, is the division which sends, receives, processes, distributes, records, and maintains these messages. ln addition, the division's signalman and radiomen must maintain, with the help of the ship's electronics technicians, a vast array of equipment. Some jobs are simple, some complex. Some require a sledgehammer, some a pair of jeweler's tweezers. Some jobs require both. But 24 hours a day, at sea, the radiomen and signalmen of OC Division use their unique brand of Navy ingenuity to provide communications for the ship, Captain, and crew. RM3 R. F. Nulph RIVISN P. C.

QE Division Sometimes referred to as skates because we don't stand watches, the ET's do not think of themselves as such. While others are worn out from standing watch and must have their nights sleep, the ET's can often be found working late at night on a variety of jobs varying from a full nights work on the air search radar to a full nights work playing dominoes or cards. During the HANSON's last deployment the ET's were on call 24 hours a day. The men of OE Division have the responsibility of keeping the radio and radar equipment on the HANSON in 'Tip-Top' condition. Critical responsibility requires that the ET's have a variety of qualities. Not only must he have a knowledge of numerous pieces of electronic equipment, but also he must possess some insight into the personality of his equipment. Each ET must anticipate the problems that arise in his equipment to minimize the time that the equipment is down. He must also be an acrobat to cope with the problems that require the ET to climb on the masts and alter problems in the antennas. The ET's must be mountain climbers because the job requires climbing up bulkheads, sides of stacks, and up poles to install and work on his equipment. When all is said and done about the ET's, the ET's work is as hard as any other division. It is necessary that they check-out all gear prior to leaving port, at which time nothing seems to want to work. While at sea when some gear feels like taking a break, it requires many hours of hard work until the gear is back on the line. The technical ability of the ET's is an essential requirement to the successful operation of the ship at all times. ETN3 F.

We began the cruise with inexperienced men who after frequent and bitter encounters with adverse conditions became professional seamen. The long hours vve worked and our dedication helped make possible the many compliments that HANSON received. Nothing is impossible, it just takes a little longer. l l .. 4 BlVl3 F. E.

Through the hard work of Gunnery Division over 5,000 rounds of death and destruction were rained down upon suspected enemy positions in ICorp near the demilitarized zone in South Vietnam. Year round repair maintenance and upkeep are continuously performed to answer that often asked question . . . but do they shoot? G Division in its systematic and unobtrusive manner maintains all gunnery and fire control components on board and provides the men with the know how to lead those GO teams in providing gunfire support to troops ashore. In the mounts the gunnersmates insure that the proper ammunition is loaded quickly and safely while the fire control men in the plotting room turn their switches and crank their knobs to insure that a proper computerized fire control solution is maintained to bring those rounds in on target.

All is quiet in AS Division as the HANSON steams silently through the early morning mists, the sun just beginning to show its P' R the earl morning watch e es I d golden face over the horizon of the endless blue waters of the Pacific. Up in the ing oo-m y- I , y I 9 ue to the Sonar Screen, patiently await ' Division. Reveille - ReveiIIe , and 18 men, Sonar Technicians, ASROC Gunnersmates and Torpedomen bless the day they enlisted and crawl out of their pits and 18 pair of tiny lsmellyl feet stumble into dungarees - the day has begun. Awhile later and quarters are over, the last moment instructions promulgated by LTJG S. E. WILLIAMS and well-known eIectronical enius ST1 L. C. WALK and the ASW team disburse to their given locationsp STS to Sonar Control, ASROC Gixfls to 9 . Launcher Control and the TlVls to the torpedo deck to check once more their particular equipment. All IS in order, the long hours of PIVIS have paid off and the complicated modern electronical equipment is ready to do its job with the well trained hands of the operators at the controls, the phone circuits connected. And then, after what seems like hours of waiting a tiny blip appears on the Sonar Screen lNo HODGE-its not a whalell reflecting the location of that silent prowler of the depths-a submarine! Sonar contact-bearing and range and the fun begins! Information is relayed to all stations, the well versed team prepared as steady hands fRight, lVlr. WlLLlAlVlS?I grip the controls. The ASROC missiles are ready to go, the gunnersmates manning their stations in Launcher Control, the Torpedomen have checked and re-checked their tubes and fish and are confident of their readiness, all is quiet in the Ping Room except for the precise information delegated and relayed by the phone talkers and the constant music of the stack and the Fire Control computer. The tracking is smooth and professional, the solution shows green and in a short time either the ASROC launcher or the torpedo tubes is trained on the target Standby - Shoot The powerful force is felt throughout the entire ship as the torpedo goes streaming out of the tube and through the water or the deadly ASROC missile is thrust out of the launcher, screaming through the air towards the enemy submarine. H Shortly thereafter the message is received over Gertrude underwater communications from the Captain of the delegated enemy sub, A hit-nice job! True, its only a game, but a very important and necessary game for without the training of today the tomorrows would be far from safe. The enemy submarine was actually one of our own, the weapons carrying dummy loads for indeed our country is at peace! But, tomorrow perhaps the submarine will not be ours, the warheads will be live and we won't be playing a game. And, if that day does come AS Division will be ready as will the entire force of the United States Navy.

To maintain this status, 8 hours of work and 4 hours of watch was needed. Some stood 4 hours on watch and 4 hours off which made it even more difficult to find time for eating and sleeping. Even with 8 hours to work with there never seemed to be enough time to efficiently finish the task. The pumps we have are not exactly of the newest type on the market, but because of the extra hours volunteered, the HANSON was and is able to glide through the water as smooth as ever. With the chief's and space supervisor's supreme organization, each individual's time was maximized allowing PIVIS, work, cleaning, and of course, anything urgent to be accomplished ASAP . One more item to be added, when time would not coincide with our work schedule, the famed deferred action would inevitably have precedence no matter what the problem. All in all it was an extremely learning experience, but it's great to be home. ..,.,,,J MMC C. S. Kefover, Jr. Nlain control underway - a place many never see. .,.,, .1 ivnvi2 T. A. Smith 'lVllVl2 w.

Bockness B Division Throughout the WESTPAC deployment HANSON has been called upon to partake in various tasks. ln each evolution the BT's lBoiIertendersl were the silent men behind the scene. These men were responsible for the steady supply of steam to each of the ship's turbines and auxiliary systems, they supplied the basic motivating force without which the HANSON could neither move nor function. Both at sea and inport the BTs were working long and demanding hours repairing and maintaining the ship's boilers and associated systems. lt was a special occasion whenever the BTs went ashore, so when they did there was usually a party. The BTs proved they could do as much steaming on the beach as they could in the firerooms chasing a bird farm . The HANSON can be proud of its fine record throughout WESTPAC and the SNIPES from B Division stand tall among the HANSONIVIEN for they have done a truly outstanding job in times of extreme difficulty. 4 ' BT2 L.

Stout The men of R Division perform many varied tasks, so many in fact, that they are almost too numerous to mention. R Division is responsible for gear in every space of the ship. The Division is made up of four gangs, the Shipfitters, and Damage Controlmen, Electricians, Inter Communications Electrician, and A Gang. The Shipfitters do welding, pipe-fitting, metal work, and instal- lations and mounting of equipment. The Damage Controlmen are responsible for the upkeep of damage control gear such as firehoses, pumps, OBA units, and NBC warfare items. The Electricians are responsible for distribution of electrical power throughout the ship. They keep the numerous motors, controllers, lights, coffee makers, and most all other electrical equipment in running order. Electricians also insure the electrical safety of portable electrical gear used by all hands. Sound powered phones and the gyro-compass are the main concern of the IC men. Also, the IC men handle the ship's movies lalways the best for the HANSONl, ship's entertainment system, keep the alarm systems working, and make sure the IIVIC is always in top shape. A Gang is another important group belonging to R Division. They are responsible for the cooling and heating aboard the ship. In addition, the men of A gang furnish compressed air, keep the motor whale boat running, keep the emergency diesels in running order, make sure the steering gear is in top operating order, and make sure there is always lots of hot water for those showers before liberty call. In short, on a ship that is older than many of the men of R Division, it is understandable that they may never be able to catch up with alll, the work there is to be done, but nevertheless, R Division can hack it. s .

SS Tw I ANA , .ng f E z N was www fi . , .Ng V N 'f -i-he Ceremony The Change of Command Ceremony 'is a time-honored tradition which formally restates to the officers and men of the Command the continuity of the authority of Command. It is a formal ritual conducted before the assembled company of the Command. The Change of Command of a naval ship is nearly unique in the world today, it is a transfer of total responsibility, authority and accountability from one individual to another individual. On September 15, 1969 this ceremony was repeated once again when Commander Fl. J. Fleeson, USN formally relieved Captain R. J. Raffaele as Commanding Officer, USS HANSON lDD-8321. Captain Flaffaele has been in command of HANSON since lVIarch, 1968 and will report for duty to the Scientific Technical Intelligence Center, Washington, D.C. Commander Fleeson is reporting aboard from a tour of duty in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, IVlanpower Requirements Division, Washington, D.C. LT GEBEAUX enjoys some hor's deourves at the reception after the ceremony. Admiral W.

Seventh Fleet Arriving The General During this deployment, HANSON had many dis- tinguished visitors as the photographs in this section indicate. One of the highlights was a visit by J. D. HITTLE, Ass't. Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs and Vice Admiral W. F. BRINGLE, Commander, U.S. Seventh Fleet. IVlr. Hittle and Admiral Bringle came aboard to discuss impending personnel measures which the Navy intends to implement to ease the burden imposed upon l-the men of the Navy due to operational necessities. During the waning days of our cruise, Brigadier General BURKE, Commanding General, 1st Brigade, 5th infantry llVlechanizedl visited the ship while we were conducting Naval gunfire support off the DIVIZ. Being unfamiliar with shipboard life, he left HANSON quite impressed especially of our ability to conduct sustained fire support which was amply demonstrated when HANSON was required to open up her main armament upon enemy positions ashore. llilnlln nnnn 'll !llIl lunlnn lnlllln 'll'llll'1 nil Il W i U-7 ' - .- '-v - - ' 3- . .,. .... .
