These are the first words before the war. Each man primed and ready to do his job to the fullest. This is what Combat Systems trains for, OPTIMUM READI- NESS. Whether the threat be air, surface, or subsurface. The Combat Systems Department is comprised of four divisions: CA Division-Sonar Technicians and Torpedomen. Cf Di vjSion-Electronics Technicians, Data Processing Specialists, and Internal Communications Specialists. CG Division-Gunnefs Mates. CM Division-Fire Control Specialists. Each division plays an integral part in the big game. CA uses sophisticated sonar equipment to hunt surface and sub- surface activity, as well as launching torpedoes to deter enemy submarines. CE is in charge of all communication devices and electronic radar systems. CG is in charge of the two venomous 5 cannons, along with all small arms (.50 cal, 25mm). CM is responsible for deterring air contacts utilizing the ship ' s lethal CIWS gatling cannons, HARPOON and SEA SPARROW missiles. Each division is trained for numerous hours in war time scenarios to hone the skills of accuracy and precision. While inport, all personnel ' s devotion is aimed at preventive maintenance and proper upkeep. Whether it be basic damage con- trol to firing an air slug, each man ' s role is important from E-1 to 0-3. All is put to the test while on deployment; the pos- sibility of going to war. Team camaraderie and devotion to duty and country keep the spirit alive amongst the crew of the Combat Systems De partment aboard USS INGERSOLL. If there wasn ' t a Combat Systems Department, then USS INGERSOLL would not be the Deadliest Destroyer of the Pearl Harbor Pineapple fleet. 14 I X TOP (L-R) STGl(SW) GREINER, STG2 THOMAS. STG2 ROSE.

Detachment 5 consists of 16 maintenance personnel. 3 flight crews (2 pilots and one aircrewmen per crew), and 2 SH-60B SEAHAWK helicopter. The SH-60B is the helicopter of choice for the U.S. Navy LAMPS MK 111 ship-air team. LAMPS is the acronym for Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System which is designed to fulfill the Navy ' s sea control mission. The system extends the search and attack capabilities of LAMPS MK III configured destroyer, frigate, and cruiser platforms, deploying helicopters directly from these ships. Primary Missions oU q LAMPS MK III are surface warfare (SUW) and under sea warfare (USW). In an SUW mis- sion the aircraft provides a mobile, elevated platform for observing, identifying, and localizing threat platforms beyond the parent ship ' s radar and or electronic support measure (ESM) horizon. When a suspected threat is detected, classifica- tion and targeting data is provided to the parent ship via a discrete datalink for surface-to-surface weapon engagement. Penguin missile equipped aircraft may conduct independent or coordinated attack, dependent upon the threat and tacti- cal scenario. When used in an USW mission, the aircraft is deployed from the parent ship to classify, localize, and potentially at- tack when a suspected threat has been detected by the ship ' s towed-array sonar, hull-mounted sonar, or by other internal or external sources. Secondary missions of the aircraft include: VERTREP -ability to transfer material or personnel SAR -Search and Rescue MEDEVAC -Medical evacuation of ambulatory patients COMREL -Over-the-Horizon transmitter receiver relay NGFS -spotting and controlling naval gunfire The LAMPS team proved to be extremely effective in all its warfare missions while conducting pre-deployment workup exercises, ENCOUNTEREXs, MALABAR ' 96, and especially when tasked with Maritime Intercept Operations. Most of the aircrafts flight hours were spent assisting INGERSOLL in maintaining an accurate surface picture for ship- ping Many hours were also devoted to utility missions performing MEDEVACs, and PAX mail cargo transfer. Al- though not permanently assigned to INGERSOLL, the Detachment 5 EASYRIDERS were a welcomed and essential part of the ship. 57 58 ARABIAN DHOW BOAT.

Admiral Tromp hoisted a broom at his masthead to indicate his intention to sweep the English from the sea. The gesture was soon answered by the English Admiral who hoisted a horsewhip to indicate his intention to chastise the Dutch. The British carried out their boast and ever since the narrow, or coachship, pennant (symbolizing the original horsewhip) has been the distinctive mark of a ship of war. It has been adopted by all nations. 104 INGERSOLL Coat of Arms The official crest of INGERSOLL is highly symbolic of the man whose name it bears.

Together, you proved that through teamwork, hard work, and determination this ship could meet ail challenges and excel. Throughout the deployment you maintained combat readiness, especially during those critical times when there was no one else capa- ble of doing the job. This ship was called upon to do her nation ' s bidding-you answered that call. We sailed in support of American interests by enforcing United Nations Sanctions against Iraq. We conducted numerous interceptions and boardings. We also engaged in several cooperative exercises with foreign navies during Operation Malabar and showed the American flag at events such as LIMA ' 96. Through the dhow escorts, the night time underway replenish- ments, the ARC escorts, and the MODLOC protection duties, INGERSOLL was KNOWN BY THE RESULTS. We have shared some fun and memorable experiences together. I could not have been more pleased with this ship and crew. You have been a model to all and have, trulv, made INGERSOLL The World ' s Finest Destrover! Stephen C.

V sfe «• ■ _ S ■4- DkI vou see that mail dropoffthe high line in to the 109 s eA v5 z Commander Bradley must run a happy ship because the crew of USS Ingersoll put on a happy face when visiting port. During a recent visit to Perth, Western Austra lia, the crew purchased supplies of Stitches, the cuddly teddy bear from the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children which boosted the funds of that Hospital. The next port of call was Hobart and many of the crew spent some shore leave in very inclement weather but, being resourceful, they brought their own sunshine and Stitches galore to put on the Great Teddy Bear Giveaway! EWC (SW) Richard Yeskis, QMl Brian Hartley and 053 Douglas M Price visited the Royal with bags of Stitches and gave out the teddy bears to children wherever they were. Our paediatric wards. the bums unit, the neurosurgical unit, emergency medicine, oral maxillo-facial, and visiting children in our corridors, all benefited from the crew of USS Ingersoll. It will be no surprise if many of the teddy bears are renamed Ingersoll. President Teddy Roosevelt certainly started a wonderfijl tradition with teddy bears, and the crew of the USS Ingersoll gave it added lustre to brighten up many children on a day which sparkled through the mist and rain. USS Ingersoll once again showed the compassion for others which is a hallmark of servicemen. We wish all our friends a safe trip home to Pearl Harbour, said CEO, Lindsav Pvne.
