Foreword On September 16, 1988. USS HARRY W. HILL began her fourth deploy- ment, the first in four years, to one of the world ' s most treacherous regions - the Persian Gulf. Nearly two-thirds of the crew had never made a major de- ployment and only a handful of seasoned veterans remained onboard from the last deployment to lend experience and insight. The next six months would be a true test of the HARRY W. HILL and her young crew. During the time the ship was assigned to Destroyer Squadron Thirty-one, HARRY W. HILL ' S sub-hunting abilities and all around outstanding perform- ance had earned her a reputation as the finest destroyer on the San Diego waterfront. But ASW exercises off the California coast and Persian Gulf pa- trols present vastly different realities. In February 1988, the emphasis shifted from anti-submarine warfare to anti-surface and anti-air warfare. Gunnery stations utilizing 25mm and 50 cal. machine guns along with 40 cal. grenade launchers were installed to counter small boat threats. Men whose previous responsibilities had centered on ASW were now training to be top-side gunners. Plans were made for mine watches and a detachment of surface-to-air Stinger missiles to be added lat- er. During several Middle East Force exercises, the ship ' s 5 inch guns, mis- sile systems. Close In Weapons System, and newly installed top-side weap- ons were employed through a variety of possible threat scenarios. While learning to fight and defend the ship above the surface was vitally important, refresher training (REFTRA) taught the crew how to save the ship if disaster should occur. As the pieces came together, HARRY W. HILL and her crew evolved into a deadly force capable of defending itself while protecting vital interests in the Persian Gulf. In September the long months of preparation ended - we were ready. No single division or department can claim credit for the success of this mission, for without the combined efforts of all hands it would not have suc- ceeded. This book is a testimonial to a proud and proven warship and the valiant, highly professional crew that sailed her into danger and brought her safely home.
