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.
