C ttiiii This book is dedicated to those We must leave behind. Ourkiob f 7 Z , and our mission at times take us far from where we may prefef to be. We patrol the seas, assuring others throughout the world that we stand Hrm in our resolve. Our thoughts, though, are with 7 those who wait so patiently. . . ,I W k auf The Departure The scene is one repeated a dozen times throughout the year: a ship is deploying over- seas. Wives, families, friends, lovers, all saying their farewells, crowd the pier. Many are crying. wives especially. They know, down deep, that things are going to be a bit lonely for awhile. Many of the men seem awkward in the pres- ence of the tears. The traditional upbringing of most dictates a star's response. lt's not that they won't feel the loneliness, too, only that it will take longer for it to register. There are probably a number of reasons why the sailors don't really feel the separation until a few days into the deployment. The most obvi- ous is the routine: They have been on station for Sea Detail so often that exiting San Diego har- bor this time is little different from all the rest. Then there are exercises that often occur en- route to Hawaii, exercises that demand concen- tration, leaving little time for reflection. Hawaii, potentially exotic, is also familiar, enough so to dull the feelings of separation. Sailors are accustomed to being at sea, away from their loved ones for 2 or 3 weeks at a time. After a brief stop in Pearl Harbor, to refuel, to take on fresh food, and to provide the men with a short rest, the sense of separation begins to be deeply felt. lt's a long way to Guam, the next stop enroute to the Philippines: the frenetic ac- tivity preceeding the departure from San Diego, that served to mask the sailor's feelings, has given way to an awareness that they are going to be apart from those they love for what will seem like a long time. The old hands know this, know that these things have their own rhythm, their own logic, and they let the feelings come in their own time. Those that are left behind don't see this, of course. but underneath the pre-deployment pressures, the feelings are there. First light, Pier 1, San Diego. 27 February 1981. The ship has completed the long months of tests, inspections, train- ing and exercises that have pre- pared her for deployment to the Western Pacific. The decks are freshly painted. Equipment has been checked, re-checked and checked yet again. Stores have been brought aboard: The tanks have been topped off with fuel. A sense of anticipation hangs in the air. Last minute business is being quickly disposed of. The men and their officers have in some cases, worked around the clock in final preparation for the mornings de- parture. The mist begins to lift, and the first few well wishers ar- rive. . . The Transit Steaming with the Canadians The transit from San Diego to Hawaii was made in the com- pany of four ships from the Canadian Na.vy: HMCS Cootenay, HMCS Sascatchauan HMCS 10 and HMCS Provider. The Provid- er was our mobile gas station, transferring fuel every third day in order that we could keep the tanks topped off. lt wasn't strictly necessary Qwe could of course steam longer than that without refuelingj but it was prudent to do so. One difference between the United States and Canadian navies is that l.l.S. ships sail dry, while the Canadian's sail wet. Translat- ed into plain English, the Canadians have alcoholic beverages aboard and are permitted to drink while underway: their CLS. counterparts enjoy no such luxury. That's not to say that a 0.8. sailor or two doesn't occasionally smuggle a beer aboard. lt would be naive to think otherwise. By and large, though, our men must be content with bug juice. . This difference was not lost on the Canadians. Engagins in a little one-up manship, their off-duty sailors would lounge con- spicuously aboat, a cold can of ale in hand, casually observing the proceedings eact time HULL would come alongside the HMCS Provider to take on fuel. Now. an underway replenishment, is conducted with the ships at a distance of about 120 feet apart. You have my solemn word that any sailor who cannot spot a cold can of ale at a distance of 120 feet has met his ultimate and final demise. The Canadians knew this, and took the opportunity to rub it in, in a good-natured way. During one of our alongside periods, the Provider sent over a package. Inside were two cold, cold cans of Canadian ale. After considerable discussion, the linehandlers allowed that finders keepers was not a very fair method of determining the disposi- tion of the ale, and a more equitable way was agreed upon. The ship would hold a raffle. Two days and 8152.00 later, the winner, 20, got to drink his beer. The proceeds of the most expensive can of beer of the entire deployment went to the Navy Relief Society. 2 r i 1 l E I i l I l i I r i i The largest percentage of underway replenishments occur at night. The view from the receiving ship, above, was taken just after sunset. Below, an example of what an UNREP looks like from lifeguard station. l 'E I Q wa i I i F 1 1 E L l l l i 8 i i Those connecting lines and cables don't pass between ships magically: the photos below show how it's done. Fifteen to twenty men must grab hold and heave around on a line attached to a wire cable. Heavier than it looks, the cable is then hooked up and tensioned. enabling the fuel probe to slide down the cable and seat in a special device on the receiving ship. Below left, 20. winner of the ale raffle, receives consumer advice from Chief Plocan. Vertical replenishment QVERTREPQ enables the ship to receive smaller, less cumbersome items without the trouble of going along side another vessel. When at sea for extended periods, helo's were sometimes the only way we received mail from home. Personnel transfers are also much easier by helo than by rigging a bos'un's chair between ships. Huh missed! Junior Officer Training - Flaghoist Drills Among the numerous exercises scheduled during the transit were flaghoist drills for the junior officers. These drills are not overwhelm- ingly popular with the participants, as their expressions indicate. C' est la' vie. Left. LTJG Dave Algert concentrates while bend- ing on a signal.

At 4 AM the lights of Oahu were visable: by 5 the island had become for us a series of long slopes, rising gently toward the crest of a ridge, each slope carpeted with pinpoints of multi-hired light. By 5:30 Honolulu, clearly visible now, could be seen to stir. Soon, daylight, already beginning to break, would dispell the enchantment the firefly lights had bestowed. The burden of arising early for work is sometimes offset by unexpected rewards: such was Oaha the morning HULL entered Pearl Harbor. To have seen, from far offshore, the island's elfin lights, and to have felt the illusive promise in the warm, moist air, was worth arising early. True, it was largely for pragmatic reasons that we were about QHULL was scheduled to be at the channel entrance at 06001 but that doesn't lessen the pleasure in having seen it as we did. Since the days of Captain James Cook, the islands have en- joyed a reputation as a fair haven. For many of us, this would be one of the few chances to play, before the tedium of the deploy- ment set in. g , is ' on , , W W Q 'cg' f X C X N X f ,, X f ff --xb .

The strong, steady wind in Kailua Bay, on Oahu's windward side, en- ables even sailboats to leave a wake. A few indulgent crewmembers took up temporary residence in Waikiki's luxury hotels. enjoying the hospital- ity of bilgini-clad waitresses. The North Shore has such a distinct feel to it that it may aswell be part of another island. The colors run to pastels more than the vivid blues and greens of the windward side and east end of Oahu.

Her three 5 .54-caliber guns, now ominously silent. will soon be belching thunder and smoke as Hull qualifies in Naval Gunfire Support Exercises. Against a backdrop of high gray clouds and rippled sea, Hull, one of four remaining all-gun destroyers in the United States Navy, begins preparations for target practice with a balloon shoot. Fire control technicians and gunner's mates gather on the ship's fantail as an enormous red balloon is inflated and released. Remaining almost on the water's surface, it floats off the port side to a distance of 18,000 yards Qnine nautical milesj. Gunner's mates manning the gun mounts load 14 rounds in seven minutes to be fired at the practice target. As a warning bell sounds, the huge gun mount swivels to the port side. Below deck, Fire Control Technician 3rd Class Mat DeBuhr sights the balloon on the radar console as Fire Control Technicians 2nd Class Rick Junkins and Chris Bierman make final adjustments on the Mark 47 computers in the ship's main battery. l've got the target, go to remote, Bierman tells Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Richard Houk over a ship's sound-powered phone. Go to bearing one, zero, niner, elevation zero degrees. O.K., l see it. O.K., locked on and tracking. Mount 52, go to remote. Gun in synch. Meanwhile, from his station in the Combat Information Center, Gun- nery Liaison Officer QGLOQ Lt. Russ Milheim communicates with the gun director, Chief Mike Malady, in main battery. At Milheim's side, operations specialists are busy plotting navigational changes for the ship. Above deck, a gunner's mate signals the directing officer in the 'director'. a hydraulically-activated device from which the officer can 'spot' fvisually locatej a target with binoculars. A blast from Hull's gun is followed by a burst in the water, short of the target. A second round detonates just beyond the target. The -ship moves to within 6,000 yards with similar results. The near misses are intentional, designed to give the ship's spotters practice in determining correct target bearings and ranges. The long and short rounds provide practice in zeroing in on target. But blowing balloons out of the water is. just plain old gunnery practice, according to Senior Chief Fire Control Technician George Boutwell, Wait 'til tomorrow. The next afternoon, the Hull steams back towards Subic Bay to share the Tabones Target Range with the frigate USS Bradley and a group of Ll.S. Marine spotters. Marine Capt. Richard Campbell commands the range where 3rd Division Marines learn Naval gunfire spotting techniques.

As one of three ranges where Seventh Fleet ships may qualify, Tabones provided spotting services for 40 ships during the last 12 months. We shoot Saturday, Sunday, Christmas, anytime, says Campbell. On the afternoon of August 26, 1981, Hull gets off to a promising start, notching a perfect score in her initial exercise. ln the past, we spent in excess of three days attempting that exercise without scoring. l'll bet there aren't more than five ships that have made perfect scores on it, Boutwell says. The third exercise involves firing 11 rounds into a 400 by 400-yard quadrant from a distance of five. The gun ship then conducts a coordinated illumination exercise used in night shooting. A score of only 84 seems to indicate the crew's energies are flagging. But there is still one exercise to go. Similar to actual situations encountered in Vietnam, it is fondly nicknamed, the John Wayne. y The exercise begins as I-lull charges toward shore, her forward gun firing at the beach. When she has silenced the shore fire, she turns to make her getaway. At that point a mock patrol boat launches an attack on the fleeing ship. With a rapid turn, Hull brings her entire gun battery to bear on the ambusher. Meanwhile, another shore battery opens fire on the ship. Just like John Wayne, at high speed and with guns blazing, Hull must handle all the 'bad guys' and make good her escape. Much of the crew is on deck. They wait, eyes turned anxiously shoreward awaiting the first round. A blast and white smoke. A miss, short in the water. Another blast, short again. There is silence as the ship locks on new bearings. The gun roars again. The spotting officer, Lt. Chris Wode, turns from his binoculars and shoots a thumb skyward -then leans back. Flashing a tired smile, he lets out an audible sigh. Black smoke, a direct hit! The 'Duke' himself might not have done much better. After silencing her first two targets, Hull has knocked off the final shore battery earning a 93 on this exercise, matching her overall tally of 93 for the 24-hour 'shootout.' Hull is qualified in gunfire support exercises with 18 points to spare. Gunnery Liaison Officer Lt. Russ Milheim Qleftj, Assistant Gunnery Li- aison Officer Lt. j.g. J.W.

As a Crown Colony, Hong Kong is administered by the British in the same fashion as any other British metropolitan area, but with allowances made for the various ethnic groups represented. A Governor, appointed by the British Sovereign presides over the Colony, assisted by an Executive Council, a Legislative Council and an Urban Council. The Colony is com- prised of .three main parts: Q13 Hong Kong Island - ceded to the British by the Treaty of Nanking in 1842: Q21 Kowloon - ceded by the Convention of Peking in 1860: Q35 the New Territories - leased in 1898 for a ninety-nine year term. All the outlying islands, except for Stonecutters and Green Islands, are a part of the New Territories, Ninety-eight percent of the population, numbering about four-and one half million, is Chinese, with the remainder apportioned among other Asians, British, Americans and Europe- ans. Dining in Hong Kong can be a real culinary adventure, albeit a more expensive one in these days of inflation. A variety of cook- ing styles can be found throughout the Colony. Chinese food is a must, and one can find Cantonese, Shanghainese, Peking, Hunan- ese and Szechwanese fthe Mexican food of China because it is so hot and spicyj. Chinese food should be eaten with a group of six to twelve people. A dinner usually -consists of about ten courses, of which each person eats only a small amount of each course. Caution should be exercised in patronizing some of the sidewalk and alley noodle stands. One runs the risk of incurring great physical discomfort as a result of such a meal.

The Portuguese were the first to interrupt the tranquility of the harbor by trading at Yokose Qpresent location of the Fuel Detachmentj in 1570. By 1597 the Spanish and Dutch had joined the Portuguese in trading with the area. Sasebo enjoyed a Rip Van Winkle nap for 300 years before being awakened by news of the Omura Bay Survey of 1883. LCDR Togo Qlater Admiral Togoj entered the port aboard the DAlNl-TEIBO, the first warship seen in Sasebo. lmpressed by the seclusion, depth and spaciousness of the harbor. LCDR Togo made his recommendations to the Emperor and Sasebo was chosen for the development of a naval base. Three years later, actual construction of the base began and by 1889 the facilities were complete enough to have the Command- er-in-Chief appointed, Vice Admiral Akamatsu. The formal inau- guration of the Sasebo Naval Station was presided over by His Majesty the Emperor Meiji. This was an event unparalleled in Sasebo's memory. Several thousand people came to attend the festivities. Sasebo continued to expand and grow as a naval base through- out the l920's. ln the years before World War ll Sasebo's naval facilities were completed and improved. During World War ll Sasebo played a strategic role due to its location. lt was also one of the largest Japanese Naval bases in Japan. The first Ll.S. ship to arrive in Sasebo following World War ll was the USS SHANNON QDM-25j. She entered the harbor and accepted the surrender of the base on 14 September 1945. Eight days later the Fifth Marine Division landed and established tem- porary control. The Army soon followed and took over most of the land area. Fleet Activities, Sasebo, was officially born on June 30. 1946. Located only one hundred miles from Korea, Sasebo played an important part in supplying troops and equipment to the Korean War. Ll.S. Naval Ordnance Facility was established as a direct result of the Korean War in February 1951. lts primary function at the time was to supply ammunition to replace- that issued to combat ships and Marine air groups. flv' 5 tw. The Army pulled out of Sasebo in October, 1955, and turned their hospital, exchange, clubs, commissary store, school and 150 sets of quarters over to Fleet Activities. Fleet Activities then assumed the responsibility for 1,500 dependents. The number was so large because of the large number of ships homeported here Qnine frigatesy. The Vietnam Conflict producedplenty of work for the Navy in Sasebo. The Ordnance Facility handled over one million tons of ammunition. However, the end of the Vietnam era also signaled the end of another era in Sasebo. Since Vietnam, Fleet Activities continually reduced and consolidated until thirty years from her founding she was swallowed up by CLS. Naval Ordnance Facility. Sasebo, on 30 June 1976. Sasebo is situated on the west coast of Kyushu lsland and has a population of over one quarter million. lt's the second largest city in Nagasaki Prefecture. The distance from Shinagawa Sta- tion in Tokyo to Sasebo Station is 870 miles, and Sasebo is about 120 miles southeast of Korea. Sasebo has one of the finest harbors in the world and was a key port of the Japanese Imperial Navy for 60 years. lt is still famed for its ship building and port facilities. Y ,,,. 1. Glover House 1 Nagasaki was originally called Fukaenoura or Tamanoura before the district was given as a fief to Kotaro Nagasaki by Yoritomo Mlnamoto. founder of the Kamakura shogunate government in the latter part of the twelfth century. lt did not develop until 1571, when it became an important center for foreign trade. . Many trading ships from Portugal, Spain and Holland constantly visited the port, while Japanese traders made it their home port for trade with China, Philippines and Thailand. The feudal lord of the area,.Sumitada Omura, expanded the city by developing new sections. These areas grew and prospered. Many streets were improved and harbor facilities were expanded as a result of international trade. ln order to exert authority over the Nagasaki area, Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Prime Minister, put Nagawaki directly under the control of the Edo QTokyoj government in 1588. ln 1639 the Tokugawa Shogun- 5 ate government closed all of Japan to any trade or communication with the rest of the world to pre- vent foreign powers from estab- lishing colonies. Only the Dutch and the Chinese were allowed to trade at Nagasaki, the former be- ing confimed to the small island of Denjima in the Bay of Nagasaki. All through the Policy of Seclu- sion, however, foreign learning fil- tered into Japan through Nagasaki particularly in the fields of medi- cine, botany and the military arts. When the country was opened in 1859, Nagasaki attained a major but only temporary importance: many ambitious youths flocked there to acquire Western learning. With the rise of other seats of learning, Nagasaki gradually lost is intellectual primacy and popu- larity. From. 1889 and up to the time of World War ll, Nagasaki experienced prosperity in both trade and communication as the most vital point to China.

About 80 percent of those wounded died from atomic disease. About onefthird of the houses in Nagasaki were burned to the ground. Since World War ll the City of Nagasaki has been outspoken in promoting peace. PEACE PARK AND THE STA TUE OF PEACE: Located near the Cultural Center, the Statue of Peace, next page, was placed here at the commemoration ceremony on the tenth anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb. This bronze sculpture of a nude male was made by the donation of the citizens of Nagasaki to console the departed souls of the victims of the atomic bomb and to promote eternal peace in the world. The statue's right hand points to the sky as a warning against further bombing while the left hand stretches out horizontally to symbolize peace. The lightly closed eyelids convey the idea of an earnest prayer for the souls of the war dead. The position of his right leg denotes meditation and quiteness and the left leg char- acteristics of God and Buddha. Located about five minutes from Oura Catholic Church is an old British residence with a beautiful garden overlooking the lovely harbor. lt is the former home of Mr. Thomas Blake Glover who had it built between 1863 and 1866. lt has been designated as an Important National Cultural Asset because of its unique- ness and because it is the oldest wooden western style building in Japan. Mr. Glover was an Englishman who came to Nagasaki in 1859. By taking advantage of the national unrest in Japan in the latter days of the Tokugawa era, he made a fortune by selling weapons and warships to the clans loyal to the government. He was decorated by the government for his contributions to the development of Japan in establishing the first railroad and open- ing a coal mine. He married a Japanese woman named Trurujo and had two children, a daughter Hana and a son Tomisaburo. His son took the Japanese surname Kuraba and was naturalized in Japan. The mansion is publicized as being the setting for the original story on which the opera Madame Butterf7y is based. Museum: August 9, 1945 The feeling begins before you enter the building: 1 am an intruder. Silly, but it doesn't go away. The lobby is open, more businesslike than comfortable, with chairs, concession stands, magazine racks and an information booth that doubles as a currency exchange. The elevator, compact and precise, moves upward slowly to the third floor. You step out onto a terrayo floor, polished bright- ly. You notice a few glances from curious Japanese, but other- wise, no special recognition. The third floor of the museum is mostly taken up by photo- graphs, enlargements of pictures taken on the morning and after- noon of August 9, 1945. Each has accompanying text in several languages. Significantly, English is the most prominent. The photographs, in both before and after comparisons, show a city that was alive and vital one moment and destroyed the next. The scenes at first elicit no special reaction: you think perhaps you've become innured to catastrophy through it's relentless reporting. Gradually, though, you become uncomfortable: the sheer number of photographs, showing destruction on a scale previously unimagined, penetrates into your consciousness. They cannot be ignored. You begin to take a closer look at the scenes. You look at the people, what's left of them. Where the third floor is visual, the fourth is predominately physical. There are hundreds of artifacts that attest to the vio- lence of that morning. Pottery which was found for miles from ground zero, has been blistered under it's glaze from the heat. A section of an iron bridge, ornately decorated, shows signs of melting. Where before you could see the carnage, now you can reach out and touch it. The narrow staris leading to the fifth, uppermost floor are not sized for Westerners. You must bend, because the ceiling is so low. The feeling of being an intruder has passed. You notice that school children, who look at you most directly, and adolescents. who look at you most intensely, do not have hatred in their eyes. They do not blame you for what happened in the past. Rather. they seem to be questioning. The fifth floor is given over to the effects radiation had on those who survived the detonation. lt is not a pretty display. By now, thoughts of right and wrong, politics and military need have passed from your mind. You feel, not guilt, but a terrible emptyness: emotionally drained. You hope no other people need die that awful death. lt's bright outside, sort of. Watery sunlight is half-heartedly trying to shine through clouds. Another group of school children pass on their way into the museum, on one of the innumerable field trips they always seem to be taking. You notice that where yesterday you thought of them as Japanese children, you now think of them as children, period. You wonder whether you will be able to classify people as readily again. ji Q1 I V l I A I N 1 5 Q 2 I i N J P X .D .f P'l 14 I The island of Hirado is located approximately twenty miles north of Sasebo and the area is twenty miles long and five miles wide. The city of Hirado QPopulation 33,000j, after whiCh the island is named, was the first port opened to foreign trade in the middle of the sixteenth century. ln the ancient days Hirado was on the route to mainland Asia. Hirado literally means a flat open door in Japanese. History tells us this port was filled with excitement and activities with mission ships sailing to and from China and Korea more than a thousand years ago. Then came the Matsuura Family, who reigned over the Saikai area for the Western Sea of Japanj. They showed their remark- able power and cunningness as Wako or Japanese pirates. ln the battles against the Taira Clan and the Minamoto Clan, they displayed their power, and later won fame by defeating the enemy in the Mongolian Invasion. A few hundred years later, the family grew very powerful and started to have an interest in trading abroad. They went far off to the southern islands and to the China Sea. The port of Hirado became the home of a rich and powerful pirate fleet. The first European ship arrived in Hirado in 1550 which was followed by many other ships in later years. The first ship carried Saint Francis Xavier who started the spread of Catholicism in Japan. The name of this small port became internationally well- known as more and more ships headed for Hirado. These forerun- ners were followed by the Dutch and the British. Hirado was at the height of prosperity, tasting the fruit of international fame and fortune, when they founded their factories here. ln 1609, a branch office of the Dutch East India Company was established in Hirado. At first the trading began in two ordinary houses, howev- er, as time went on, about seventy houses were rebuilt to make room for the residence of the trading firm director, the ware- houses and quarters for the Dutch tradesmen who were self- supporting in the little Dutch community. Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the Deputy Commander of the Edo QTokyoJ Feudal Government visited Hirado. The people of Hirado rejoiced at the visit by the great warrior. The Dutch. too, celebrat- ed the occasion with a salute of guns. But Nobutsuna, who observed the accurate firing of the cannons, feared the close tie between the Hirado Matsuura Family and the Dutch, lest they turn against the Tokugawa Shogunate fthe military ruler in Ja- pan 1600 - 18681. Therefore, he ordered the transfer of the Dutch trading firm from Hirado to Nagasaki which was then the poses- sion of feudal government. Also during this time came the enforcement of the Edict pro- hibiting Christianity. All foreigners were moved to Nagasaki by' the policy of Seclusion by the Government and Hirado fell into a rapid decline as an important rading center.

They cried out. Well, not really 1 But the language they did use I cannot print freely Thus Powell came to bat With two men on base His visage was grim A snarl touched his face He took up his stance And awaited the ball Wode began his windup And threw with his all One minute later The tables had turned At 4 runs to 3 The J.O.'s were burned Special Eval! Special Eval! Went the cry NO! thundered a voice That rang clear to the sky The Captain strode forth, took hold of a bat Stepped up to the plate, and waited for that Little white ball, to come sailing across He didn't wait long, for there was the toss When the dust had settled. lt was 4 runs to 4 The Chiefs were determined then, There would be no more l could go on with more of this game But in truth l'd be telling just more the same For the teams were evenly matched that day And both sides consistently made the big play. ln the end though the Chiefs won 6 runs to 5 Whether through luck, skill, or perhaps they just tried Harder to beat their opponents that day ln the end for the beer the J.O.'s did pay. The Chiefs they did, revell in their might As the J.O.'s walked slowly out of sight But ll heard them exclaim when they paid for the cheer, Enjoy your victory, but WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR! 1 1 E 1- i 6 , i f 1 N w f 1 4 U M M v H xv u H I M w N :W qi li' W 'I U3 H gf Ml M U m w K 1 w 1 H. 1 N I P W N 1 'a wr :F W g - N v Stragglers FTGSN Ferguson .X W -4 ,W MM3 Headley MM2 Busby ., Q X74 ANL MMFN Salcedo 32 W Q S 5 MMFA Hoogs ling. x 0140.9 ,pw Q4 li x x .wx v 1 X .
