The hours have been long and tedious the Working and living conditions something less than desirable but the rewards of the Job we accomplished are not measured in dollars and cents Our mission has been to support the Commander of the SEVENTH FLEET, and through him the President, in our national effort to stop the spread of communism and bring eventual peace to Southeast Asia. The contribution of HUBBARD may seem relatively insignificant, es- is the day to day effort of thousands of menlike those of us in HUBBARD that will bring ultimate success For many men especially those with families, a cruise of this na- ture involves considerable sacrifice At all levels of command, the con- tinued willingness of Navy men to endure such hardships is recognized as the foundation of our commitment Only our steadfastness of purpose will convince our opponents that they have no hope of success. To all members of the sh1p's company, whose devotion to duty and tireless efforts made this cruise a success, my sincere thanks, Your sp1r1t, co operation, and can do attitude is somethinglshall not forget. pecially in view of the growing dimension of U.S. involvement, but it C OMMA NDIN G OFFICER Commander Philip P. BUSH, son of Mrs. Marjorie L. BUSH, and the late Mr. BUSH, began his naval service in January, 1943. After eighteen months of various enlisted duty, he entered the V-12 program at Oberlin College in July of 1944, and was graduated as a NROTC student with an Ensign's com- mission from the University of Virginia in June, 1946. After his first fourteen month tour of duty as a turret officer aboard the USS LOS ANGELES QCA-1355, Com- mander BUSH attended Electronics Ma- terial School at Treasure Island, San Francisco until February, 1948. His next two tours of duty were as Electronics Officer aboard the USS BAIROKO QCVE- 115p and USS RENDOVA QCVE-114y,dur- ing which time he participated in Operation Sandstone qnuclear tests at Eniwetoky and the evacuation of YMF- 211 from Tsung Too, China. During this period, he was advanced to the grade of Lieutenant fj.g.J in June of 1949 and shortly thereafter was married to the former Mary Lee Lower of Marshall, Missouri. Following a twenty month tour as Communications Officer, and, later, As- sistant Operations Officer of the USS BURTON ISLAND QAGB-ly, Commander BUSH attended a course of instruction in the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project at Sandia Base, New Mexico. With this training behind him, Com- mander BUSH reported to the Naval Administrations Unit at Clarksville Base, Tennessee for a two year tour as Electronics and Electrical Supervisor, where he was promoted to Lieutenant in June, 1952. f The following six months, starting in February, 1954, Commander BUSH attended the General Line School at the Naval' Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, to which he later returned in April 1957 in a staff assignment after thirty months as Executive Officer ofthe USS NAIFEH QDE-3525. His second stay at the Naval Post-Graduate School ex- - 4 ...:............t....1,.L...,....a.1....-f..,-...,-v-x----' tended through July 1959, during which time he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. In the succeeding twelve months ending in June 1960, he' attended the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. As a student in the command and Staff Course. The following two years were split between assignments as Nav- igator of USS ROCHESTER QCA-1245 and Executive Officer of USS SAMUEL N. MOORE QDD-7475. His promotion to the rank of Commander was effective 1 November 1962, during which time he served on the staff of the Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island until June, 1965. On 26 July 1965, Commander BUSH relieved Commander L.G. HINCHC LIFF, Jr. as Commanding Officer of the USS HARRY E HUBBARD QDD-748y in Long Beach. Commander BUSH lives with his wife and four children at 7885 Rosina Street, Long Beach, California. - , . .. - - 9.4, '..-,a......,.,,..l.......g.,.....-...,--.

Getting the job done--the battles fought and won--is simply a matter of making sure that no more than three people move at onceg otherwise mass confusion ensues. Yet out of this crush continually flows information--where the target is, what guns and ammo to use, recom- mendations to conn the ship--produced by 17 Radarmen consulting complex radar and radio equipment kept in peak condition by 8 Electronics Technicians. Such is the work of OI Division, un- commonly known as Operations Intelli- gence. But OI is men, not machines. It's Powell trying not to look too short while bagging it at middayg or Hiram getting red while opening a package from San Berdoo. It's Ram making like the human flyg or the Chief hauling out his B School notes to explain a compli- cated maneuvering board problem. It's Studley calling out down the B row at Saturday night. BINGO games, or Luna shaving off his beard because it interferes with his work , It's Frey, the cumshaw artist, walking around the SRF with a bag of coffeeg or Fidel Caruccio ready to deal them out in the ET shopg or Matt sending more Christmas flower orders than anyone elseg or Chuck the Truck insisting that his name is Richard. It's all of these characters, and more. There's Padge, still trying to get the kink out of his neckg and the whirling dervishes, Hansen and Destructo Gutting, running into each other on the ladder to the bridgeg over in the corner sits Rebus, revising his filing system for the umpteenth time,with Tom looking on sagely stroking his beard. Phil is at the head of the mess decks ladder, keeping order in the payline. Meanwhile, Allenis copying into the Pritac log as fast as he can write, and big Rex is wondering whether it was 320 or 230 degrees on the surface plot. Father Wayne's message comes through his bushy beard loud and clear, as he starts out, Mr. Miller, I've got a gripe! g while Dave continues to twist the dials on his speakers and amps, thinking that must be the reason his electric uke sounds so bad. Buddy Heidel combs his hair for the first time as we pull into Hong Kong. proving that he does have a forehead after all. Jess is down in ship's office looking for his orders f They're supposed to get here this week j, and Andy swabs the mess decks counting the days till he makes Third. Don wonders if some- day people will leave his charts aloneg and finally, Cousins amazes all by dem- onstrating what a Texan can do during just one day of liberty in Hong Kong. We're Steamers all--the RD's and the ET's. But if someone doesn't stop turning on those lights and banging the lockers at midnight when he rolls back aboard, there's going to be some changes made! t .:ug'-Win, Iii 1-' 4 ,gg-.-f:.-1-Q '-.I , .. .-J, X 'd' vw. ,ALE 1.

Lay aft to the boatfalls. Now return all paint to the paint locker. lst DIVISION is passing the word and the doing the work. Versatility is its cornerstone. But lst DIVISION is morethan versa- tility. The division is men of able body working together to execute HUBBARD's most serious and strenuous evolutions- replenishment, anchoring, mooring, loading the guns, and preserving the ship. Further, Ist DIVISION is the starting point for all Navymen. Ask any sailor. He was once a soupper scrubber. lst DIVISION is personalities as well as able bodies. Chief McPheeters and his repetoire of jokes: Say, Chaplin, did you ever hear . . . Lulow, now the leader, his quiet and friendly face hiding that fiendish mind. Sala, God, those East Coast sailors must have had it tough. Walton, Hey man, where'd you put ma paper? Ludy and DiDi, Nick and FiFi, Bert and his friends from the McKean. Gray, so short. Schultz, painting out the sides with last night's supper. Klawiter still can't get a laugh for his jokes, except his own. Hice, his beard and bottle. Troyer and his paint brush. Swede who can't wait to get back to George's Round-Up. There are many others among the 42 men of first Division. You'1l read about them in the next Cruise Book. Finally Ist DIVISION is a lot of laughs. Mr. Carter at Quarters, Boy, I sure hope none of you guys feel as badly as I do this morning. Let us not forget the everlasting cardgame on the reefer decks. Poor Klawiter. Ludy always seems to win! Standby for heavy ro11s Sk DIVISION..

HM DIVISION Deep in the dark recesses of the ship, in the jungle of the pipes, midst a maze of valves and the lush foliage of lagging, lives an exotic creature, the machinist mate. Highly skilled in the black arts, he often displays his ability to control the mys- teries of steam by creating a great frothing upheaval of the waters about the stern of the ship. And then a flick of his hand he causes them to be still and the fantail is quiet once again. Extremely jealous of his powers, he has been known to remind others of them by turning off the ship's electrical power and fresh water. However, he is generally quite friendly and co- operative, and nowhere is this better shown than in the Division motto, You make the Bells, we'll make the turns.

It is the name of a division and adepartment. It is a colorful collection of widely differing rates, some having little in common except their berthing space. It is a rambling network of little kingdoms --- Dietzman regally dispensing candy and shoe polish from the ship's store, Brannon handing down the statues of BuSanda from his supply throne, Penera fussing and fuming in the wardroom pantry ---- each small domain in its own small way offering some form of service to the ship. Overall, Supply is a kind of service funnel, an intake valve for HUBBARD'S wants. As a division and as a department, as whatever you want to call it when the meatloaf seems dry or the bearing you need is out of stock, it takes on goods by the ton and stores, trans- forms and hands them out. During just the first three months of the cruise, Chief Buirge and his merry band of cooks took on board a king's ransom in food and served over twenty thousand meals. The ship's servicemen sold athousandcokes amonth, consumed a mountain of soap in the laundry, and cut enough hair to stuff a weather balloon. The stewards produced a great deal, too, much of it gray of color and strange of taste. The storekeepers kept records of all the above, divided the optar, and then redivided it to keep the engineers solvent, and nearly lost their minds tryingto answer Ensign Miller's questions.

X Division, Hubbard's pot-pourri for specialists, is the most vital group on the ship. Without yeomen and personnelmen, who would be alive? And without our mailman who would want to be alive? Normally in wartime operations, the men of X Division would be missing members of Hubbard's fighting compliment. But with its characters, X Division has soundly established itself as a welcome and necessary aid to the older Divisions. In the office you cannot beat the double L combination, Lasher and Louie. These two, through intelligence, long hours, and much Bravo Sierra, have handled all the crew's paperwork problems. Peters, I got some orders for you today. Another five years on Hubbard. And where can you find aphilosophy like Haygoodfsz It's no fun unless you can gripe . Doc Ray was worried in Subic. Half the crew was sick, but Doc wondered who his next striker was going to be. 'Witcher had gone to school. Wilkenson had developed a bad kidney after one night on the beach with Doc. And who else could say, Mr, Robbins, I can't finish all my work unless I get another striker ..... Do you suppose I could get off a little early tomorrow, say about 1000. One of my old steaming buddies is in port. Finally, X brings good news and bad, all handled by our man from Ghoowhamm, Wusstig, PC2. Wusstig didn't have too much to do when we were at sea for 56 days, so he got a striker. He got additional help from a new Ensign in handling the mail on one helo detail. That's X Division, full of fun, hard-working, and ever-present for Service to the Crew . x XX X X X, 5 . I NYE? Nfz, 5 ' xf K .iw R S0 Q.. A ,, ,xx X N W' The Boss We'11 give you an A.P.C.
