YARNELL DLG 17 HISTORY J£j J C U I YARNELL ' s busy and illustrious career began in May 1960 when her keel was laid. A year later she was launched and on February 2, 1%3, she was commissioned into the United States Atlantic Fleet. From north of the Arctic Circle to the Magellan Straits, YARNELL has sailed the Atlantic on many crossings and earn- ed the highest recognition attainable in her associations with the Second Fleet in the Atlan- tic and the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Always a streamer, the following highlights of her voyages attest to her outstanding reputa- tion. 1964: Intensive shakedown training in the Caribbean; YARNELL received the highest grade for the year at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and qualified as a first line missile ship off Puer- to Rico. Later she joined the Second Fleet as flagship of Destroyer Squadron 26 and deployed to the Sixth Fleet. Christmas for her crew was at Cannes on the French Cote d ' Azur. 1965: YARNELL returned to the States for Operation Springboard in the Carribean, then returned to the Mediterranean for Christmas in Beirut, Lebanon. Transiting the Dardannelles on January 3, she entered the Black Sea raising protest in Moscow but demonstrating the United State ' s adherence to the principle of freedom of the seas. 1966: Nato exercises in all types of fleet (operations and awards for excellence: YARNELL won the highly sought Battle Efficien- cy E for DESRON 26 as well as weapons and ■ operation E s. She also was winner of the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for top gun in the Atlantic Force of 150 com- batants. 1967: Back to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean for hunter-killer operations in ASW; YARNELL was chosen to represent the United States at the Canadian Centennial Naval , Assembly in Halifax, Nova Scotia. ■ 1968: Placed in out of commission status for installation for new computer systems and electronic eagioment. 1969: Recomissioned in Boston on July 12, YARNELL moved to Newport, Rhode Island for her new homeport. More shakedown cruises and missile firings followed in the Carribean. 1970: YARNELL rejoined the Second Fleet in operations in the Carribean. She was chosen to represent the United States Commander South Atlantic Fleet on the 19,000 mile UNITAS XI cruise around South America. 1971: Local operations along the U. S. east coast as flagship for Cruiser-Destroyer Flotilla TWO including three training cruises in sup- port of the U. S. Navy Destroyer School. Departed for six months in the Mediterranean as part of the Sixth Fleet. 1972: YARNELL continued operations in the Mediterranean taking part on various Sixth Fleet and NATO exercises. She returned to Newport in June, stopping enroute to aid the stricken research vessel, SS TRIDENT. In July YARNELL was notified that she had won the coveted Battle Efficiency E for the DIG 16 26 Class guided missile frigate. During the remainder of the year, YARNELL conducted important training cruises and converted to Navy Distillate Fuel, a cleaner burning fuel oil. 1973: YARNELL was dedicated to an impor- tant CNO Project— ATD (Automatic Target Detection) — aimed at improving the detection capabilities of the Fleet. Again, in July YARNELL was the winner of the Battle Efficiency E for DLG 16 26 Class guided missile frigates, and in addition she won the Engineering and Gunnery E for this year. In August, she readied herself for her fifth Mediterranean deployment. CAPTAIN ROBERT D. DUNCAN Captain Robert D. DUNCAN assumed com- mand of the YARNELL on 28 July 1972. He was born 10 October 1925 in Webb City, Missouri. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy and was commissioned Ensign in June 1948. He serv- ed as Commanding Officer of USS MCMINNVILLE {PCS-1401), USS GUIDE (MSO-447), and USS FECHTELER (DD-870). Other significant sea duty in- cludes tours as Communications Officer, USS CONY (DDE-507), Executive Officer, USS DALE (DLG-19), Executive Officer, Underwater Demolition Team TWELVE and Surface Operations Officer on the Staff of Commander Carrier Division SEVEN. His shore duty includes tours in the Operations Directorate, Joint Staff, Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Current Operations Section of the Staff of Commander in Chief U. S. Pacific Fleet and more recently as the Assistant Chief of Staff (Operations Plans) for Commander Cruiser- Destroyer Force U. S. Atlantic Fleet. Captain DUNCAN graduated from the Naval War College in 1963 and holds a Masters Degree in International Relations from George Washington University. He also participated as the Navy Member in the Thirteenth Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy conducted by the Foreign Service Institute of the U. S. State Department in 1970-1971. Captain DUNCAN and his wife, Patty, have two children, Douglas, 22, and a daughter, Kyle, 19. The DUNCANS presently reside in Middletown, Rhode Island. OUR CAP TArN. . .

We arrived in Lisbon, Portugal on 7 September tor a short visit. Following Lisbon, YARNELL took part in the NATO exercise QUICKSHAVE oft the coasts of France, England and Portugal. A lot was learned in this exercise and few will forget YARNELL ' S daring dash through the enemy forces (flash photo, flash photo, flash photo...). After QUICKSHAVE, YARNELL steamed to Rota for turnover with the USS DALE, and then proceed- ed on to Palma. Arriving on 25 September, YARNELL ' S crew took advantage of the good life in Palma, not really expecting the Arab-lsreali War and the thirty-five days on continous sea ops that follow- ed. YARNELL got underway on 11 October for a short period of ops with the USS ROOSEVELT, before being detached and becoming CINCWESTMED. It was a long, trying period before YARNELL was finally relieved; one marked by one GQ, a few swim calls and a lot of painting. YARNELL returned to Palma for a short period of rest and upkeep before getting underway on 21 November for a task group ops off southern Crete. YARNELL was given her second ORE within a year, and performed extremely well as usual. From 3-13 December, YARNELL was anchored at Athens, Greece. RADM Downey, COMCRUDES- GRU 8, came aboard 11 December for presentation of YARNELL ' S BATTLE EFFICIENCY E and Engineering and Gunnery E ' s . YARNELL got underway on 13 December for more task group ops while transitting west, via the Straits of Messina to Barcelona for the Christmas standdown period. Many dependents were able to visit Barcelona during this time. YARNELL left Barcelona on 7 January, and tran- sitted to Malaga, Spain for a short visit. YARNELL then proceeded to Rota, Spain for trunover to the USS LEAHY on 14 January. YARNELL steamed from Rota on the evening of the 14th and arrived in Newport on 24 January to a happy crowd of relatives and friends gathered on Pier One. OPERATIONS DEPARTME NT i LT. Leigh R.

Hall The Operational Equipment divi- sion aboard YARNELL consists of ET ' s (Electronics Technicians) and OS ' s (Data System Technicians), which main- tain a variety of equipment essential for contract tracks, navigation, and com- munications. The DS gang works within NTDS (Naval Tactical Data Systems) in interfacing the shipboard computers and peripherals with weapon plat- forms, while the ET gang enters analog inputs via surface and air search radars needed by NTDS for tracking the en- vironment. The ET ' s also maintain OMEGA and LORAN, helpful to the navigation team; with added critical support of receivers and transmitters required for operational communica- tion. These two rates comprise a un- ified effort in presenting an accurate combat picture to the operational per- sonnel. ETR2 D. A. Meiger l ' - ' ETN3 D. J. Calabretta v ETR2 C. R. Bowers ETR3 M. D.

McBrien A R, THE BACKBONE OF THE HARRY For those of you that don ' t know, A R stands for auxiliary and repair, and also fine workmanship. Most people think we are one, but that is because we work hand and hand. A Gang is made up of Engineman, Machinist Mates, Machinery Repairman, and a MMYN (Log Room Yeoman). They maintain all auxiliary steam and water, all heating and air conditioning, steering equipment, and emergency power equipment. They also make precision parts when needed, from nuts and bolts to engine shafts. HT1 B. Brent I HTC V. Bdker HTFN D. Orsini x HT3 |. Brickley HFTN R. Radel V l HTFN R. Raymond HT2 L. Martin FN R.

Daily duties consist of standing main switchboard watches while underway and standing Damage Control Central and sound security watches while in port. Interior Communications Electricians main- tain many diversified circuts, some of which are; alarm systems, plotting gear, interior com- munications, and the ship ' s entertainment system. While underway, forward plot and CCTV are their main duties. In port, ship ' s entertainment and sound security watches consume their time. ICFN M. Potter ICFNJ.Smith EN3 R.Arnold EN2F.

On the other hand, their individual knowledge of every detail of the ship ' s operation is something to be admired. Their work hours seem endless, ungratifying at times, demanding, but a sincere satisfaction grows within 1st Division. It ' s a job that calls for great effort on their part, but out of that emerges appreciation and gratification from each and every one of the crew.

The Sonarman provide firing data to the Asroc Launcher and Torpedo Tubes. Fourth division ' s largest project for the ' 73 Med Cruise was to operate and maintain the two coffee pots in Sonar for the more than 100 members of their mess. But seriously, these men have a very important task to perform, and they do it very well. STG2R.SecorskiX STG3 R. Hanson ilGSNT. Franke GMT3 R. Tessener STGSN D. Bowman ST1 Wood STG2 R. Licata STG2D.

Anything less than the best is unacceptable. The Storekeepers provide the repair parts to maintain a vast amount of complex electronic equipment in an up and ready to go status. The SK ' s maintain 37,000 line items in eleven storerooms and do the accoun- ting for a yearly budget of $300,000. The Disbursing Clerks compute pay records, process travel claims, register allotments, and sell foreign currency. Dur- ing the deployment, the DK ' s have paid out over $500,000 in salaries and have sold $120,000 in foreign currency. The Ship ' s Servicemen operate the ship ' s store the laundry, and the barber shop onboard YARNELL. The ship ' s store operator has sold more than $80,000 worth of merchandise. The laundrymen and barbers keep the crew squared away for inspections, work, or liberty. The S-1 Division contributes to the high morale of the HAPPY HARRY crew. S-2 DIVISION CS1 T. Norvellx CS1 G.

VlrKinia 2360S Many men make up a fighting ship ' s crew, different people with different personalities, yet all working toward the common goal of keeping their ship operating smoothly and efficiently — ever ready to meet all commitments. Every man aboard YARNELL helped make this a successful cruise. How long could she have operated without the cooks providing three meals a day, or without the BTs furnishing an unterrupted supply of steam? How many well dones would YARNELL have received without the tracking of the OSs, or the equipment of the ETs, RMs and DSs? The crew makes YARNELL. Without her dedicated men, she cannot function. YARNELL demanded a great deal from each man. However, each can takes with him the satisfac- tion of knowing YARNELL completed all tasks assign- ed to her and performed them better than any other ship in the Med. The Crew ' s Book is therefore dedicated to YARNELL ' S crew, those who make her successful. . -ti. ..f %J iL 4 fi. • ' -« ' A ' i '  y«,i .
