During this period she engaged in a variety of as- signments involving shore bombardment, counter- The U.S.S. HOPEWELL CDD68ll was named in honor of Pollard Hopewell, Midshipman, U. S. Navy, who was killed in action on board the Frigate CHESAPEAKE during the battle between that vessel and the British Frigate SHANNON on l lune 1813. A 2100 ton Fletcher Glass Destroyer, the HOPE- WELL was commissioned on 30 September 1943 at the Naval Base, San Pedro, California. After its commissioning, the HOPEWELL proceeded to San Diego for shakedown training and upon comple- tion of this training on 13 lanuary 1944, joined Task Force 53. The ship participated in seven star operations in the Pacific during World War II. Operating around Kwajalein and Marshall Islands, the ship took part in the shore bombardment cov- ering the landings on Mellu, Ennubing, and Roi Islands, the first of its star operations. Following a period of training with COMDESPAC the ship joined Task Group 12.7 and proceeded to Purvis Bay, Solomon Islands, and Guadalcanal where, assigned to Task Force 77, she participated in the shore bombardment at Aitape, New Guinea for the second of its star operations. Thereupon followed several months of routine training and upkeep in the Treasure Island area The HOPEWELL reJo1ned Task Force 77 on 10 Sep- tember 1944 and proceeded to Morotai Island, Netherlands East Indies. During the period 16-18 September several enemy air attacks were re- pelled consequently winning the ship its third star On 18 October 1944 the HOPEWELL with Task Force 78 proceeded to Leyte Gulf Philippine Islands for patrol duty its fourth star operation. The fifth star was awarded when in company with an attack group proceeding to Mmdoro Island she shot down three enemy aircraft and then partici- pated 1n the shore bombardments on Mindoro Island The sixth star was awarded on 4 Ianuary 1945 when the HOPEWELI. Joined the I..uzon attack force screen and close cover support group where sev- eral enemy a1r attacks were held off. On 14 February 1945 while assigned to give fire support to the Bataan Corregidor attack group the HOPEWELI.. received her first battle damage She was closing to rescue survivors of a YMS which had been hit by shore batteries when this sh p received four hits from batteries on Corregidor Xkillina seven men and wounding twelve For this action he sev nth star was awarded X Following two rronths at Mare Island for re airs D the HOPEWELL returned to the forward area and the official announcement of the end of hostilities with Iapon found her off the coasts of Honshu and Hokkaido with Task Fo ce 38 During late 1946 683 was decommissioned and placed in reserve inactive status On 28 March 1951 she was recorrrmissioned in San Diego and in Iuly proceeded to the forward area for duty battery f1re and screenlnq duty for carrlers durlnq the1r thqht operat1ons Though often W1th1n easy range of enemy shore batterres she was never h1t but 1I'1f11CtGd heavy damaqes on troop and supply concentratrons Es pec1al1y noteworthy were her operat1ons 1n the Wonsan area Where for almost a month she en qaged 1n ettectwe bombardment of shore 1nsta11a t1ons Slnce the end of actlon 1n Korea HOPEWELL has been enqaqlnq 1n routme tralnmq and upkeep and maklnq a cru1se to the Western Pac1t1c each year Thts book 1S the story ot her fourth such cru1se s1nce recomm1ss1on1nq I O I I ' ' U I 1 lu I ' , . , .

Gantar, USN, who relieved Commander lames B. Hil- dreth on 4 August 1954, while the HOPEWELL was still in Long Beach Naval Shipyard. He was graduated from Northwestern Uni- versity with the class of 1940, receiving a Bach- elor of Science in Civil Engineering. As a mem- ber of the NBOTC he was commissioned upon graduation and was called to active duty soon thereafter. Throughout World War 11, Commander Gan- tar served on the destroyers USS Brooks, USS Kalk, and USS Gyatt. This duty included tours of Alaskan waters, with North Atlantic con- voys, and in the Southwest Pacific. After the war, the skipper attended the U. S. Navy Postgraduate School in Ordnance Engi- neering, and he was awarded a Master of Sci- ence in Mechanical Engineering from Bensel- laer Polytech. From school, he reported to the USS Toledo where he served as Gunnery Of- ficer, being promoted to Commander while in this billet. Then followed a two year tour of shore duty with Ordnance Research and Development in Washington, D. C. Upon completion of this tour, he reported aboard the HOPEWELL to assume duties as Commanding Officer. .1 THE EXEC The Executive Officer is Lieutenant Commander Harvey E. Toponce, USN, who reported aboard during the 1953-54 cruise. He was graduated from University of California in February 1944, receiv- ing his commission through the NBOTC Program. Upon graduation he reported aboard the YP-58, a 65' gaff-rigged yawl, for duty as Boat Officer. During the remainder of World War ll, the Exec served aboard the USS COEFMAN CDE 1911 as Gunnery Officer. ln this billet he was promoted to Lieutenant Cigl. While serving on these two ships he saw duty in the North Atlantic and the Mediter- ranean. After the war, LCDR Toponce had command of the USS SHOUVLER CAM-3821 and later was C.O. of the AMS 215. This was followed by a tour as Executive Officer on the USS BULL, and then an- other command, the USS ESTEBO CAG-1341. During a tour as Second Division Officer on the USS ROANOKE QCL-1451 he was promoted to Lieutenant, and later served on the staff of COM- PLTRAGBU, San Diego. ln his first tour of shore duty, he was ordefedrtoaa billet as head of the Eire Control Section of the Officer Candidate School, Newport, B. 1. Upon completion of this duty, it was back to sea, aboard the HOPEWELL. ffff.'.i13 ... r.'iii'il :'- r-- --Q.- .. -.-1-wwf.-- ,+A aw-.

Our present division com- mander is Captain R. I. Badger, USN, who relieved Captain G. Hutchinson in Iune 1954. Captain Bad- ger's last duty station was the USS Bremerton where he served as Executive Officer. Assisting Captain Badger with administrative du- ties required of the division commander is Lt. L. E. Zook, USN, flag secretary. He reported aboard in Kuczmarski YN1 ' Rick QM2 Ianuary 1954 from previous duty as Gunnery Offi- cer aboard the USS Sproston. LTIG Mortimer Lorber, USNR, is the division doc- tor. He usually rides the Hopewell, although his duties have taken him to other vessels on several occasions. This is the doctor's first duty station. Completing the division 152 staff are Makepeace, RMC, flag radioman, Kuczmarski, YN1, flag yeoman, Rick, QM2, flag signalman, and Diego, SD2, Knot picturedl. -nw-nziufrninnm 1 I . v 1 1 1 4 pw: iq. fa, Jr' v? f. -1 T'q!5J:,.fQf?j1i::.:'.Q:j?.'A?'-fic-7q:r:':..'rl'ii'i.i1T : :5i5iSjj5j:+'?QiE.:111'z:'L?

Varbedian First Division Officer Second Division Officer Third Division Officer A warship is sometimes considered tactically to be a floating gun platform, all other ship's functions being means to the end of having the guns ready to fire when and where they are needed. If this is true, then the men of the Gunnery Department must be the most important men on the ship. There are prob- ably those among us who would be inclined to dis- pute this statement, but no one can deny that these men do their share in keeping the HOPEWELL ready for any emergency. The gunner's mates have as their responsibility keeping the 5 and 3 guns ready to fire. At GO, these men are usually the mount captains, the men in charge of handling rooms, and in other respon- sible positions. In addition to knowing their guns, the GM must also be adept with chipping hammer and paint brush to keep the mounts clean and painted. The boatswain's mates' specialty is deck and marlinspike seamanship. He works with boats, lines, ground tackle, and uses many skills common to the seaman of the old sailing ships. In addition he fights the never-ending battle to keep the remainder of the topside areas clean and painted, and the frequent presence of red lead and roped-off areas attribute to the diligence with which he attacks this problem. Aboard ship one can never escape the influence of the boatswain mate, for from reveille to taps his pipe, the symbol of his rate, can be heard over the IMC. The fire control technicians have charge of the upkeep and operation of all fire control gear. F rom their office down in main battery plot these men make certain that whenever the guns are called on the fire that they will be able to report solution, and know that the guns are on target. V The torpedomen and sonarmen work -together as a team in the ship's ASW warfare program, the sonarmen locating the submerged submarine and the torpedomen attacking it with depth charges. In addition the torpedomen maintain our torpedo bat- tery in a state of readiness. As a final duty, entering or leaving port always finds the Gunnery Department on deck, standing by mooring lines, anchor, and gig, ready for whatever is needed of them. ,-.,f Rf xx A 1' 'Bm r' fr eov'g14--,w f-Q-gasp-n'.h:' 'ue'g:e: 4s':r:1e':1p:-emma, . ., 'ra lwnvvwn-sn-m Al? 4 ' ' H: vi ,:,. :- -- vj L-:2,j.'1',.':-z-.-::.'f.' -:.g,.N,1.-if-:,51::',:--55--If--5,. .1 .- -.,.'-1-,,, . -- - -.,. .- 'L-...L,. .- , ' .

Reinke C Division Officer O Division Officer Assistant O Division Officer It's obvious when the deck force is working be- cause they are out in the open where everyone can see them, but with the men of Operations it's a dif- ferent story. They do their work in less frequented spaces like radio central, CIC, the signal bridge, or in the Ship's Office, with the result that many of us never see them working and so conclude that they are just along for the ride. Actually, however, these men work just like everyone else, both in and out of port. Theirs is the vital job of receiving information from and sending messages to outside sources' and then routing this information to the persons who need to know it. All external communications must go through these men. CW radio and teletype are taken care of by the radiomen and telemeng voice radio by radarmen in CIC, flag hoist, flashing light, and semaphore by quartermasters on the bridge: U. S. Mail and Guard Mail by the postal clerk and the Yeoman of the ship's office. In addition, the quartermasters navigate and steer the ship at Special Sea Detail. Yeomen and Per- sonnelmen keep the ship's records, correspondence files, and each man's service record up to date. The radarmenf with their radar scopes, plotting boards, and publications keep track of the tactical situation and assist the OOD in the important job of ship control. Certainly not to be omitted are the electronics technicians. 'T'hese tube testers have the responsi- bility of keeping the ship's radio and radar gear in operating condition. ' Without all these men working as a team, the ship would become an isolated unit, not knowing what was happening outside of our own ship. We wou1dn't know where to go or what to do when we got there. DIVISION Left to right. Front Row: Peterson, Wanichek, Glos- gow, L. Smith, Borne.

Warren E Division Officer Assistant R Division Officer Most people don't know what makes a ship move, other than the boilers generate steam, steam turns the engines, the engines turn the shafts with their screws and the screws drive the ship through the water. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, that is all most people need to know about how a ship is propelled, but here are the men who don't think it is that simple and who have to know a lot more than that about it. These are the men you don't often see on the main deck of a ship, because they are down below in the engine rooms and fire rooms working and sweating to keep the ship runningg supplying the things we so often take for granted like fresh water, electrical power and ventilation and heating, and at the same time keeping the shipready to answer all bells and hence ready to carry out all assignments. A discussion of the department wouldn't be complete without mentioning the three groups of repair personnel, the electricians, shipfitters, and A gang. These are the men who are responsible for keeping the ship supplied with power and interior communications: maintaining the ship's watertight integrityg. doing all the odd jobs of metal work which come up on a ship, and finally, keeping all the ship's auxiliary machinery in operating condition. If it's mechanical and isn't part of the main propulsion plant, these are the men who will keep it running. lt has been said that she isn't much for chow, and she isn't much for liberty, but with this crew of engineers working down below us, she really is a steamer.

They have the job of providing what is needed, when it is needed, where it is needed. ln addition they provide some of the extras which make ship- board life a bit less rigorous. The men who handle the requisitioning of stores, expendable materials, repair parts, etc., are the storekeepers. They have the task of keeping on board ready for use the materials with which all the other divisions do their work. The commissarymen order provisions and then prepare well-balanced meals from them. They probably hear more gripes per man than any other group aboard ship. Everyone wants to know why the chow isn't like home, or like a restaurant ashore, but never stop to consider that at home meals weren't cooked for some 230 men, and restaurant cooks don't have to con- tend with such cramped and rolling galleys. Ship's servicemen run the laundry, barber ship, and ship's store. There was a time in the navy when the crew washed their own clothes, cut each other's hair, and had no gedunk store, but now, thanks to the supply depart- ment these things are provided for us. The disbursing clerk is the most popular man on the ship, or at least twice a month he is. He is the man who handles pay records, and then on the big day he is there in the mess hall with the Paymaster. Then there are the hospitalmen who man sick bay. We often joke about their prescribing an APC for any and all ailments, but they are well-trained in their field, and sooner or later many of us are glad to have them to turn to when we do need medical attention.

CANADA U.S.A ,ng DIEGO Early on the morning of Tuesday, 4 lanuary, the USS HOPEWELL hauled her last line on deck, and therewith began her fourth cruise to the Western Pacific since her recommissioning. As we steamed past Point Loma, some of us were already contemplating the number of days until 22 May, when, according to the employment sched- ule, we would again hit the beach in San Diego, but the thoughts of others were already turning ahead to the ports we were to visit in the Far East. After a smooth trip to Pearl Harbor, we were greeted on the pier by a troupe of grass-skirted hula girls who danced on the guarterdeck, while the crew clambered over the superstruc- ture in search of vantage points to watch andfor take pictures. During our all-too-short stay in Pearl, all hands Cwith the exception of a few ofl the old- timers who had been there too many times beforel spent their liberty hours terrorizing the natives in such spots as The Royal l-lawaiian, Don the Beachcombers, and Waikiki Beach. Then we were underway -for Mid- way, arriving there on a day when the wind and rain were so disagree- able that even the Gooney-birds were considering moving to another island. After refueling and giving all hands a few hours ashore to take pictures of the Gooneys, or have a few short ones, whichever idea seemed the more attractive at the moment, we were off again with our next stop Yokosuka. One day out of port, we ran into our first real taste of bad weather. The veterans of the last cruise said it was nothing like back off Formosa in the old days, but still there weren't many people to be found out of their bunks, except for the watch. Then one morn- ing it was calm, and there on the horizon was Fuji, and we knew that soon we would be in our home away from home, Yokosuka. After a short availability, we were off for the island of Formosa, and our tour of patrol duty. Until we arrived, patrol duty had been just that, steaming up and down a section of the coast until fuel was needed and then heading in to cos- mopolitan Keelung for fuel, provisions, movies, and LIBERTY. The morning we first saw Keelung, it was raining, and for the rest of our time in the area, each time we entered the port, we were met by precipitation, sometimes just a drizzle or mist, but always wet. ' ' ' T WSF - .. MlR.rMw.nE0:anm-J,'g1Q. During our stay in picturesgue For- mosan waters, we assisted in sup- port of the Tachen lsland evacuation, and spent most of the rest of our tour in the area running errands up and down the coast, from Matsu to Que- moy. Then one fine day fno one no- ticed the rain that dayl our reliefs ap- peared, and we were heading for Yokosuka, and a few days respite from the rigors of Condition lll. Never a dull moment however, and just as we were getting settled down in Yokosuka again, we headed for Okinawa for ASW operations with the Princeton and a division of British and Canadian destroyers. About this time we learned that we had been granted a diplomatic pass to visit Singapore. We also learned, to the chagrin of all polliwags aboard, that on the way we were to cross the Equator. For several days prior to that most infamous day in HOPEWELL history, l4 March l955, strange things were happening. Several times a day word would be passed for All shellbacks lay up to the CPG quarters, and woe be unto the polliwog who happened to blunder in on one of these fateful gatherings. The ship became divided into two camps, the one Wandering around in a state of bewilderment as to Why the garbage was being saved, and Why polliwogs were not to go on the focsule or on the port side of the fantail, the other chuckling fiendishly at the guandary of the first. Finally the fateful day arrived, and the long line of clean-shave neophytes was sum- moned before the Royal Court for jusice tried, sentenced, and dealt with severely. At the end of this hectic day, the l-ICPEWELL set course for Singapore manned with a full com- pany of Crusty Shellbacks, duly in- itiated into the Ancient Crder of the Deep. ' Exotic Singapore proved to be in- teresting, if somewhat expensive. The courtesy of the Royal British Navy was exceeded only by their capacity for beer, and the use of Nuffield Service- men's Club added to amiable relations with I-ler Majesty's boys in blue. Other names. which will remain in our mem- ories of Singapore are the Raffles Ho- tel, the Adelphi Hotel, and Cockpit. ln sharp contrast to the pleasures of 'liberty in Singapore was humid Subic ---' Bay, our next port of call, where we stopped for an upkeep period. Sand- wiched between priority work requests and our annual Administrative lnspec- tion were excursions to Driftwood Beach, the fair city of Clongapo, and last but not least, the Club Bullpen. Before the sun and heat could fully take its toll, we were underway again, this time for Hong Kong, BCC. As we steamed into l-long Kong harbor that fine morning, we were met by the expected swarm of bum-boats, and in accordance with a custom of long standing, proceeded to turn the fire hoses on those who ventured too close. We were soon informed by the station ship however that sguirting the natives was no longer listed among the local outdoor sports, and that hereafter the police boats would take care of them. Since early in the cruise, the old-timers had been telling the boots about the wonderful bargains available, so when liberty went down, two sections swarmed ashore, to be descended upon by the local tailors, cabinet makers, cobblers, and other assorted tradesmen. Everyone left the ship with a roll of greenbacks and re- turned with a suitcase of clothes, or carrying a hand carved bar on his back. By the time we departed l-long Kong and headed for Sasebo, it was still a long time before payday, and the ghost of last. payday was in the compartment designated as the sou- venir locker. The HCPEWELL was only in Sasebo a few days before we were ordered .to Nagasaki for the Nagasaki Sea Fair and Festival. Nagasaki was a new port to most of us, so the tours of the city were well attended. After a few days of being moored alongside the pier, we had a pretty good idea of how a goldfish in a store window must feel. While our liberty sections were out seeing the town, the local popu- lace, or a goodly part threof, came down to the pier to watch our movies on the fantail, so it must be said that a good time was had by all. A few days later we were back in Yokosuka, getting ready for our last big jump back to San Diego. Many of us felt that it had been a pretty long cruise and intrinsic Joys of Yokosuka notwithstanding all hands were think ing ahead and tasting vicariously the pleasure of Stateside liberty and leave. Despite a threatening boiler, we waved good-bye and steamed for San Diego on schedule, 6 May l955. Variety in the form of refueling at sea off Midway and a speed run made the return trip go a bit faster, but it wasn't until we arrived at Pearl l-lar- bor again that we felt we were near- ing, home. A good deal of time and money was spent at Small Stores as Operation Full Sea Bag neared com- pletion. After a few days rest in l-la- waii, we were ready for that last leg of our trip. After an uneventful run, we picked up land on the radar one evening, and the next morning, there on the horizon was the coast of California. As we moved in, we formed up in a col- umn and made preparations for en- tering port. Now Point Loma could be distinguished, and as we passed the sea buoy, it seemed like much more than l38 dayshad passed since we had last steamed through that chan- nel. Finally about lOOO that overcast Sunday morning, the first line went over, and with the shifting of colors, the GUNG-l-l0pewell completed an- other cruise in the Western Pacific.

Warren Some guys chose their place in life, And live at ease, no strain, nor strife But after all, l'm no pretender, This is a destroyer, not a tender Now all was fine about the ship, When water came, they made a slip. The showers ran both day and night, An hour beneath them was alright. The chlorine taste was not so bad, If a shot of coffee could be had The deck force washed the topside clean, And greater waste was never seen. Then, there are those days underway, When water's scarce, it's hell to pay We're wasting water! I was the shout, So search around and CUT IT OUT!! The more they searched, the more was used, 'Twas then we really felt abused. Water, water everywhere But saving it, was despair They checked the piping and each connection, Could it be that cold injection? Everywhere, the going's tough. Evaps just don't put out enough. They stopped the showers, wardroom too? We'll stop that waste, l'm telling you. Check all the bilges, tanks, and drains, Even thought of catching rain. - The drinking fountains could be stopped, When all other means have flopped Let's see, water in the galley and head, We'll get it stopped, just like we said. Plugged all the pipes, scotch taped the showers, Should show something within a few hours. The tanks are filling, water at last, My shower's only three days past. Take me to a place like Minnesota, Where 10,000 lakes ain't no quota, Back in the land where water's free, And that B.C. won't bother me.
