T R i i:mvi  V3 inriimiiiiini TownsviHe •lOh HALF WAY ' ROUND AND BACK The USS HOEL (DDG-13) is the second ship of the fleet to bear the name. The original HOEL, (DD 533), was a 376 foot can commissioned in 1943 and later sunk on 25 October 1944 in the battle of Sumar while fighting a superior Japanese Battleship-Cruiser Force. The present HOEL was launched in August of 1960. The ship has an overall length of 437 feet, her beam is 47 feet and she displaces 4,500 tons. The powerful engineering plant can develop a total of 75,000 shaft horse power which can propel the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots. HOEL ' s variety of weapons systems include two automatic 5 54 guns, standard surface to air guided missies, ASROC and homing torpedos. HOEL ' s compliment of 350 professional and dedicated officers and men make up her crew. A ship like the HOEL is nothing but a mass of steel, weapons, and electronics without a crew. The crew gives the ship spirit, character and a reputation. On this WESTPAC, 78- 79, the crew of HOEL has been called upon to carry out a variety of missions. There were the scheduled exercises such as COMPTUEX 2-78 and FLEETEX 1-79, and the unscheduled- our participation in the evacuation of Third Country Nationals from Iran. Therefore, we had planned on port calls, hoped for port calls, and cursed again port calls. What follows is a brief (resulting) schedule, and following is a photographic account of our deployment- join us. 26 Sept 1978 Depart San Diego, Ca., USA 30 Sept-5 Oct Composite training unit exercise 2-78 6-10 Oct Pearl Harbor, Hi. 30 Oct- 11 Nov Subic Bay, Republic of Philippines 17-22 Nov Fleet Exercise 1-79 30 Nov-5 Dec Chin Hae, South Korea 13-18 Dec Yokosuka, Japan 22-25 Dec Hong Kong 28-29 Dec Subic Bay, Republic of Philippines 23-26 Jan 1979 Karachi, Pakistan 19-25 Feb IRANIAN EVACUATION 25 Feb Bahrain 10-18 March Subic Bay, Republic of Philippines 22 March Guam 1 April Pearl Harbor, Hi. 8 April Return to San Diego, Ca., USA CO COMMANDER JOHN ALLISON PAINE, JR, USN John Allison PAINE Jr, was born in Lowell, Massachusetts on 13 November 1937.

The PC ' s perform what some consider the most important duty of all: keeping us in touch with our loved ones. We all know the ship couldn ' t operate for very long without the YN ' s who handle all the administrative paperwork, and there ' s a ton of it too, just ask them. The MAA ' s are the ship ' s police force, not always the most appreciated people but try going without them for awhile and you ' ll see how necessary they are. The NC, he ' s the one guy who can give you the straight skinny on your career. All in all, NX is a very necessary group of men. 28 LCDR William Snyder U.S. Naval Academy U.S.S. MASON (DD-852) Coastal River Squadron 1 SWOSCOLCOM- Department Head Course Prospective Engineering Officer Course ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Engineering Department- the service department of HOEL- propulsion, electrical power, fresh and feed water, compressed air, machinery maintenance and repair for the ship. AE R Division is made up of the Auxiliaries Gang (Machinist Mates and Enginemen). Electrical (Electricians Mates and Intercommunications Technicians) and Repair (Hull Technicians and Machinery Repairmen)these men maintain the auxiliary equipment and direct the damage control for the ship. B Division, made up of Boiler Technicians, maintains the Fireroom equipment-, 1200 psi boilers, feed pumps and deaerating feed tanks with associated feed water and fuel tanks. And M Division, made up of Machinist Mates, maintain the propulsion and electrical generator steam turbines, associated condensers, reduction gears and fresh water distillation plants with the fresh water tanks. Whenever the engineering plant is on the main, among the most important people in the spaces are the Engineer Officer of the Watch and Machinist Mate of the watch (with the Boiler Technician of the Watch n;xt door ). Shown here are LCDR Snyder and MMl Burleson. 30 The Helo Detail Crash Crew shown here easily represents AE R Division since it has all the ratings of the division- EM, HT, IC, MM, and MR. B Division- their work space, watch station and almost home is in the fireroom. Shown here are BTFN McGriff, BT2 Marceau, BT3 Clause, and the MPA, LTjg Doeler. M Division- their space is the Engineroom and the hub of all activity is the throttle board. With the forward throttle, astern throttle and almost overwhelming number of pressure gauges and thermometers, it can be pretty hectic . . . and of course records have to be made.

There is really nothing better, I would like to do. I ' ve been to a lot of nice places, a lot of bad ones too. Learning the cultures of the prople, was really something new. We ' ve been to the Indian Ocean, also the Arabian Sea. Even to the Persian Gulf, to see what we could see. In Iran, we evacuated Americans, and carried them far away. And, you can truly bet your life, the Navy will save the day. This cruise has really been something mostly underway. That ' s what you got to look for, the way the world is today. As for myself, I work in a fireroom, a Boiler Technician I am. I keep those boilers steaming, for good ole Uncle Sam. I put in a lot of hard hours, insuring the ship can steam. But, it only makes you tougher, and a little bit more mean. This ship is the Worlds ' Finest, at least that ' s what they say. Our boilers have seen better days, but we ' re still pushing the haze gray. Pretty soon we ' ll all be heading home, and the ship will go to rest. She ' ll go thru another overhaul, to get ready for her next test. Now my story, has ended, and I must be moving on along. I ' ve got another ship to steam, and 1 hope I don ' t go wrong.

The men salute their Division Officer as they are dismissed from quarters early in the morning. The men return to their compartment to do last minute rack making. Then the air is split by the shrill call of a Bosun ' s pipe. Time to ' hit the pit . The ladders rumble to the crashing cadence of Firemen and Petty Officers as they descend to their working spaces for a day of routine maintenance and cleaning. As they bend to their task, the clash and bang of tools is contrasted by the silent and grim watch standers. who keep a solemn vigil on the main engine rooms propulsion equipment. Then ' knockoff is piped throughout the ship, and the weary snipes ascend to daylight, there to have a smoke with friends as the sun fireballs beneath the horizon. Then retire to their compartment and gather in groups, chatting about the past until late in the evening, ready now for a good nights rest. Machinist Mates-men of the Last Frontier.

IAVi U.i:£Tl iti n FIRST ANNUAL And Probably Only HOEL - INDIAN OCEAN MARATHON On 1 1 Feb 79 four members of the San Diego based Guided Missile Destroyer USS Hoel DDG 13, now operating as a unit of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, participated in the First Annual and probably only USS Hoel Indian Ocean Marathon . LCDR Bill Snyder, 28 year old Chief Engineer from New Bethlehem. PA: LT Bob Reeve, 29 year old Supply Officer from Santee, CA; Ens Ken Shearer, 23 year old CIC Officer from El Cajon, CA, and Sonar Technician Third Class Steve White, 26 year old from Nederland, CO., set out at 0615 local time to run the 26 mile, 385 vard distance. 58 The seas were calm, the sky was clear, and the temperature was 70 degrees as the runners started out with a beautiful Indian Ocean sunrise to spur them on. They were cheered by their shipmates throughout the race and the two Officials LT Joe Driscoll and LTjg Pete Opsal kept the official time and lap counts, provided music for the runners and spectators, and passed out erg, water, and towels to help the runners combat the heat which rose to 85 degrees by the finish. The runners changed direction every 50 laps to try and reduce the strain on tiring joints. To prepare for the race, training schedules ranged from a low of 10 miles a week to a high of 50 a week depending on the runner and the sea conditions. Due to extensive operational schedules, training was limited almost exclusively to circuits around the aluminum non skid deck during the four months of the Westpac Deployment preceding the race. The course consisted of 339 laps 123 feet over the 408 foot track around the Tartar and Asroc decks of the warship. LT Reeve successfully completed the ordeal and broke the tape in 3 hours 31 minutes and 59 seconds. All participants thoroughly enjoyed the effort and expressed the opinion that once is enough, and that future Marathons would be limited to dry land attempts. The officers involved plan to meet in Boston in 1980.

And they did! Yet WESTPAC is more than that. Though few and far between, the sights and sounds of distant lands are a welcome relief to the long hours at sea. Without exception, all hands enjoyed our port calls throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans - from the tropical paradise of Hawaii to the cold northern climate of Korea to the arid desolation of Saudia Arabia. We saw it all while half way round and back. ilBii5BWiaBHg «WMfi«HiB i nra«; ' tR«ii Ftiai.TvRTtrrf. wiu),ii vii i « .i. r i: ri ' . ■ . i ' ,.

The world grows smaller in our e es bv observing the similarities , and much more so, the variations in lifestyle, customs, and dress. Although we are outsiders and visitors many people allowed us to touch their lives briefly; and they ours. The different histories, religions, and habits of the people of the Far and Middle East showed us that our way of life is not necessarily the only way, but did make us appreciate the luxuries and comforts we enjoy back home. Our lives have been changed, if only slightly, b ihc enchantment of travel and exchange of experiences, giving us a new perspective on our world. .vi:vi)Vi: ' :::ii;iiii ' iii)i i;iii i ;aii?ii;iV ia Jii!.

The Waianae mountain range on the east and the Koolua Range lo the west are separated by a wide valley, used chiefly for pineapple and sugar cane cultivation. Pearl Harbor, one of the largest natural harbors in the Pacific, became our home for this three day visit. From here the tourist areas of Honolulu and Waikiki Beach were easily accessable as well as sightseeing on the island. W hether it was snorkling and scuba diving in Hanauma Bay. cliff diving at Waimae Falls, or enjoying the nightlife of Waikiki. Oahu proved to be an enjoyable visit - a truly tropical paradise. Waimae Falls, Oahu SUBIC BAY Republic Of The Philippines Our homeport while overseas. Subic Bay was our longest port visit this cruise. A tropical mountainous group of islands, the Philippines were visited by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521 during his historic circumnavigation of the world. From Subic Bay the crew had access to rock and roll, western or disco dancing in Olongapo. relaxing on Grande Island, shopping for Rattan furniture in Subic City and outlying areas, or touring Manila. A popular stop on any WESTP. ' C, Subic Bay is also a busy working port. Outside Olongapo Subic Bay Naval Station CHINHAE Republic Of South Korea A slrongU Buddist nalion.

Western man was very isolated from the land of the rising sun until Admiral Matthew C. Perry. USN. arrived in 1853. Today Japan is fast becoming one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Known as Nippon ( Source of the Sun ) to the Japanese, six- sevenths of the country is mountainous and hilly, with a population over 100 million. From our berth in V ' okosuka, Japan ' s largest naval port, many tours were available to Tokyo, the ancient capital city of Kamakura. and the countryside around Mt. Fuji. A very expensive port because of the devaluation of the dollar, many buys were still available on stereo and camera equipment as well as inexpensive sightseeing tours.

Acquired from China by the British following the Opium War of 1839 - 1842, Hong Kong has from its start been a free port, open trading to all. In 1860 Kowloon and Stonecutter ' s Island were ceded to Great Britain and in 1898 the rural New Territories were leased for 99 years. Riddled by malaria, destroyed by typoons, and plagued by pirates in its early years, Hong Kong was not highly regarded by the British public. Today this metropolitan area offers the intrigue and excitement of the Orient that no world traveler wants to miss. One of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong offers a variety of entertainment and sights - the old mixed with the new, rickshaws alongside Rolls Royces. Museums, Theatre, orchestras, horse racing, and exotic nightlife can be found in the city of Victoria, the commercial center on the main island of Hong Kong. While wandering through the Wanchai District or Kowloon the sights and sounds of the Orient are everywhere; street barbers, bird ' s nest and shark fin soups, jade markets, fortune tellers, herbalists ' shops, open air markets, tailors, and snake shops. Hong Kong abounds with the excitement and atmosphere of the Far East. Victoria at night HONG KONG 1. J«B •«•■! .

Pakistan, the largest city in this Islamic country of snow-capped mountains, high plateaus, fertile plains, and sandy deserts. The many artists of this city of 2 million people displayed fine examples of Persian carpets, brass, mlaid woodwork, jewelery. and onyx. Thirty days later we stopped briefly in Al Manamah. Bahrain - one of 33 islands midway between Saudia Arabia and the Qatar peninsula in the Persian Gulf. Back to Subic we steamed for upkeep and repair before going to sea again.

' J UNREP UNREP-the manuver that puts the HOEL as close as Eighty-feet to an oiler or stores ship — while going twieve knots. We might be as far out as One-Forty to One-Sixty feet but more often depending on the weather and waves, the HOEL is closer. Through an UNREP or CON REP, the HOEL may get mail, food, fuel, ammunitions or supply parts via tensioned span wires from the supply ship. We do it any time of the day — almost any weather.

Because of our size, the HOEL takes helicopters at the hover. The HOEL has gotten personnel, mail, food, parts, or ammo from the CH-46 Chinook, H-3 Sea King or SH-2 Sea Sprite (LAMPS). The last two helos carry cargo interally so their loads are small, but the Chinook can carry loads on an external hook — as much as two full pallets a trip. This method of replenishing is faster and though the course and speed must remain consistant-it s less exacting than the alongside connected method. Still, there ' s no room for skylarking or slacking off while getting the stores aboard. a, 74 ] - fc  , Des 3 14 ' ■1! Jf Jli t .

And we weren ' t always just with the KINKAID. DECATUR and MISPILLION. On two occasions, ships of the French Navy joined us for exercises in their passing. On 28 January we were joined bv FS DUSQUESNE and FS DOUDART de LAGREE, Among the gunnery and maneuvering exercises, we exchanged LT Carey and ENS Shearer for two French officers for part of a day. During the second personnel transfer the de LAGREE sent the large bottle of wine over to the Midship ' s riggers and line handlers for a later date . . . . Then on 6 and 7 February we were joined by FS KERSAINT. We had an officer exchange for this joint exercise too; this time LCDR Snyder, LT Reeve and LTJG Opsai for two French Officers. 1 K ♦ S ?w ' ' • ■ ■ Planning And Preparation IRANIAN EVACUATION Drill . . .

The Tigers met the ship in Pearl Harbor and after checking on board HOEL, sponsors and Tigers were able to go sightseeing around Oahu. Once underway on the trip home. Tigers were able to see virtually all aspects of life on a NAVY destroyer. They were able to see most weapons systems in operation, all engineering plants, and all other features that turn a ship into a small city and a home away from home. ■dmaiaiiBwiB ,..cui,m mmmm The blessed 1 S.D. and we are home.

Steven was in First Division- he stood Bridge Watches at sea, Messenger Watches in port, and he was always involved in the Vertreps, Conreps, deck work and friendly banter with his shipmates. Then on 28 November of 1978 Steven Hererra was washed overboard, and the sea claimed him before two ships and two helicopters could find him in the remaining hours of daylight. Steven was and still is, missed by the crew of HOEL, and the HOEL still remembers and sends prayers to his family. CROSSING THE BAR by Lord Alfred Tennyson Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. Twilight and the evening bell And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; But such a tide as moving seems asleep. Too full lor sound and foam. When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns home again. For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. 96 ArhharigeTsk UNION OF SOVIET 8h 9n ° ' ' SOCIALIST REPUBLICS Podkamennaya Tunguska ToborsI ° o Sverdlovsk -MOSKVA ,- ' Petfooaviovsk -4h Magmtogofsko oBoflayDo Mogocfiao r.Tcalaiinsk AyagoZ o izyi-0 ' da MONGOLIA L C ' Kandahar x i Chiu-ch ' uan o PEI-CHING I ' PES ' -IMG) o o T ' ien-ching o Ch ang h „„ „„a,„„ ' „ C H Hsi-ning I ° N i ' ' P -5h I, I ' o :;- ;. i r:;-v- U ' J .l ' ; v 1 oLi-ch.ang ,p . j ||A__ .-?
