By the time the cruise ended on December 7, Iowa had steamed more than 30,000 miles, operated in 12 seas and visited 15 different ports in nine countries. The first stop on the cruise was Kiel, Germany. For seven days, the crew took part in Kiel Week 1989. The week is traditionally celebrated with foreign navies from around the world. Represented at the Kiel Week festivities were navies from America, Britain and Germany. The stay in Kiel gave Iowa sailors a chance to relax and stretch their legs before continuing Med Cruise ,89. Iowa's next stop was Portsmouth, England. The Iowa was there from July 3rd to the Sth. Dur- ing the transit in the harbor, thou- sands of people were on hand to greet the Battleship to their city. In return, the Iowa hosted thousands of visitors on her main deck for tours. The crew of the Iowa also celebrated July 4th with members of the British Navy. Capt. Moosally cut the traditional 4th of July cake at a picnic celebration in town. British and Iowa sailors then challenged each other to softball, volleyball and log throwing and tug-a-war contests. Between these ports, the Battle- ship Iowa took part in Baltic Sea Op- erations CBaltopsD '89. lowa's RPV detachment used remote piloted ve- hicles to support a wide range of missions during Baltops. Baltops is an annual exercise involving several different NATO countries. From there it was on to Rota, Spain for a three-day visit. While in port Rota, an awards ceremony was held to advance a large number of crewmembers to first, second and third class petty officers. The ship then sailed to Casa- blanca, Morocco. During this three- day port visit, crewmembers got to see part of Africa. Several sailors took part in relief effort for the natives while in Casablanca. It was now time for Gibraltar, an English island in the Mediterra- nean, as the Iowa pulled into port on July 19th. The port call was an excellent opportunity for crewmem- bers to do some shopping or sunbath at one of Gibraltar's many beaches. In addition, many sailors traveled to the top of the rockl' via cable cars. After Gibraltar, the Iowa steamed into Marseille, France for a lengthy port call that was interrupted when the Iowa was ordered to Lebanon. The ship cut its port call early on August 2nd and headed off to the coast of Lebanon where she stayed for three weeks. The Big Stick was joined by other ships in the Battle Group as the United States showed its force against terrorism. The days ran long during this time as the men of the Iowa practiced for war-time situ- ations by running numerous general quarters drills and other exercises. During this time, Iowa was author- ized to practice shooting 16-inch gunneryg thus breaking a moritorium imposed on 16-inch gunnery due to a disaster in Iowa's turret two. After three weeks off the coast of Lebanon, the crew finally got some liberty in Antalya, Turkey. It was in this port, where most crew- members got good buys on leather and jewelry. The Iowa was well- received in this poit, as the Turkish people welcomed us to their country. There were several steel beach picnics held during Med Cruise I89. One of the biggest was held on September 8th, better known as Hump Dayf' This day marked the half-way point of the cruise and included a 5K run, boxing smokers, f'Hump Day cake cutting ceremony, USMC Sunset Parade and Iowa's first annual Gong Show. Hump Day was celebrated while the ship was anchored in Gaeta, Italy. When the Iowa pulled out of Gaeta on September 15th, she had been in port for two weeks. During this time, many sailors traveled to Rome to take part in an audience participation with the Pope. Mean- while, others went to Naples to shop at the Navy Exchange. After leaving Gaeta, Iowa sailed for approximately three weeks before pulling into Istanbul, Turkey on October 4th for a five-day port visit. Many tours were given in Istanbul, including one of the most popular ones - Istanbul by Night. The tour l Introduction continued from page l featured sightseeing, dinner, belly dancers and a Turkish folk band. Also, a shopping district called, the Grand Bazaar, proved to be a popu- lar place to buy Christmas gifts. The ship pulled into Haifa, Israel on October llth and many crewmembers traveled to J emsalem to see the Holy Land. When the ship pulled into Alexandria, Egypt from October 14th to 17th, a record number of Iowa sailors, 800 in all, went to see the pyramids on organ- ized tours. In between our pon visits to Haifa and Alexandria, the Iowa celebrated the Navy's Birthday and American Hispanic Month on the mess decks. Capt. Moosally said, It's only fitting that we honor American Hispanics on the Navy's Birthday. They have provided a lot to the Navy and America. On October 21st, the Iowa again visited Gaeta, the home of the Sixth Fleet. As the Sixth Fleet Flag ship for the Commander, Sixth Fleet, Vice Admiral J .D. Williams, the Iowa was on her second visit to Gaeta. It wasn't too long after our three-day port visit in Gaeta that the 2 Iowa steamed to Ajaccio, Corsica. Corsica, a French possession, gave crewmembers a chance to see a different culture and beautiful beaches. After Corsica, it was back to Gaeta on November lst for a two- week port visit. While at anchor, the Iowa celebrated the Marine Corps Birthday and many sailors again traveled to Rome and Naples. At midnight on November 2nd, the Iowa served in a Battleship Battle Group without a carrier in the Med. It was the first time in many years that event had happened. The Iowa officially tumed over Sixth Fleet Flag ship honors to USS Belknap in Augusta Bay, Sicily from November 16th to the 18th. Iowa served most of the Med Cruise '89 as the Sixth Fleet Flag ship. After the off-load of the Sixth Fleet, Iowa sailed to Palma, Spain and shortly thereafter headed for home. The ship was in Palma from November 21 st to the 25th and Thanksgiving was celebrated there. With most of the crew eager to get back home to Norfolk, the Iowa pulled into the Hampton Roads area on December 7th. an.. 1 9 8 9 llo I s p40 On August 4.

As the WWII vintage battleship hauled in her mooring lines and was relieved of her accomodation brows forward and aft, family and friends of crewmembers waved their goodbyes from pier 11 for what would be a six month separation. In addition, various media were on hand to record the event as IOWA slowly steamed toward the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and out into the Atlantic. Although the separation from loved ones is always difficult, the adventure and experience of the North Atlantic!Meditera- nean Cruise promised to be great. With that in mind, IOWA sailors tumed their minds to the deployment that lay before them as well as the eventual homecoming. 'TL :gi-'-' ., .

IOWA left its home in Norfolk, Virginia for a six month cruise. There were objec- tives to reach, challenges to pit our minds and other concerns to bend our brows as we made our way across the mysterious North Atlantic. On Sunday June 18, l I days after our departure, amid a sea of sailboats that glistened in the moming sunlight, the IOWA was slowly guided to its position in the middle of Kiel, Germany's aqua-marine harbor. The apprehension facing many sailors upon departure from Norfolk Wasexchanged foranticipation ofuhitting the beach. Even the old salts, having traveled far and wide over the oceans of the world, held a deep satisfaction. Neither the anticipation nor the Old confidence went unfulfilled as we made our way through the city of Kiel. i Crewmembers also visited neighbor- ing cities during the annual celebra- tion known as Kiel Week. The celebration was the center of attention, not only for the crew of the IOWA but also for the crews of many different ships representing the world. There were activities enough to make each day complete for everyone. Along the boardwalk. there were stands featured with many different types of foods and various bands. J uggleis played for nothing more than the crowd's generosity. Besides the wealth of food and entertainment, there was also a warm and gentle spirit that permeated the city of Kiel and rested like a security blanket upon the soul of the weary sailors. Many sailors. tired of the barren sea's restless silence. found life, music and company in Kiel along ix with good weather and plenty of re- freshments. lf anyone tired of the hectic pace while in Kiel. the green meadows and rolling hills of Germany's countryside offered a relief to the rowdy festivities. Perhaps what will never be for- gotten is the kindness that the sailors of IOWA discovered in Kiel. And yet. as all good things come to an end, so did the visit to Kiel for the sailors of IOWA. Much more alone than when she came in, the IOWA was led out of the harbor to continue her long joumey through the deep blue sea. As the ship made its way through the pitching waves, crewmembers traded stories of their stay in West Germany. The crew only needed to keep their minds on their duties but always looking forward to being surrounded by music, entertain- ment and excitement again. if fx I L i I 5 I i I ! 2 F - i H' , 1 2 i s i Y S 5 I i 1 i , Q ,f 1 r P 1 k x 1 .L xii-,. !

Even while the ship was easing into its berth at the Royal Naval Shipyards, IOWA sailors could already tell this would be a memorable port visit. And nobody was disappointed on that count. Visits to various points of interest such as Stonehenge OR HMS WARRIOR, and to cities such as the historic city of Bath or London, were punctuated by the warm reception extended by the British people. Sailors have always been highly re- garded in this city steeped in naval history and tradition. One obvious example of that tradition was moored at the shipyards, not far from IOWA's berth. Numerous IOWA sailors interested in battleships of years ago, visited Admiral Lord Nelson'si original flagship, the HMS VICTORY. The VIC- TORY, which is permanently moored at the shipyards and undergoing extensive re- furbishing, was the same ship on which Admiral Nelson lost his life, during the Battle of Trafalgar. - ,.fvrn.,, J fs Qxrzwr..

However, when the crew got ashore, all hands enjoyed an excellent port visit. In addition to taking a cable car to the top of the Rock, many took advantage of a guided tour that noted the many points of interest and high- lighted the extensive history of Gibraltar. The tour visited the dens of the famous Gibraltar Rock Apes. The sea-side city of Gibraltar was equally interesting. Narrow streets, lined with shops of all descriptions, had a distinctly international flavor. A few sailors even visited Gibraltar's beaches which were located on the other side of the rock from the town. Evenings for most IOWA sailors were spent in the inviting pubs and restaurants that were numerous in the friendly city of Gibraltar. -iv L -of-,nn-Q ,,-., ,,'.'... - fe . 1 Q se 4 Q Hs' 171 -.

During the following weeks, IOWA remained on-station off the coast of the island of Cyprus in case of further disturbances. As tensions in the crisis eased, IOWA was able to take a respite by making a port visit to the resort city of An- talya, Turkey. During the visit, many IOWA sailors took advan- tage of the sunny days to visit the many beaches of the city. Other sailors navigated the twisting alleyways and sidestreets visiting merchants of rugs, brassworks, meerschaum pipes and leather, for themselves or for gifts.

Aside from its history, Gaeta Proved to be the perfect pit stop for IOWA. lt afforded the ship a chance to catch its breath during its full schedule of operation priorities. IUWA used the opportunity to bring '-'Ll dl! aboard needed supplies and mail and for many of the crew, a chance to stretch their legs with a walk through Gaeta's tree-lined avenues. Touring the city afforded IOWA sailors a glimpse into the everyday life of this peaceful coast town. Many were surprised to find such a hustle and bustle for such a small city. Always, it seemed, there were children at play with soccer balls. Near the city's harborfront, a daily open-air market was the hub of activity in the evenings. Fishermen ,J.Y ,. v .

Many an IOWA sailor, upon retuming from a day trip to Naples or Rome, would grab a late-night snack at one of these establishments. IOWA sailors also made good use of the numerous phonebooths around Gaeta to call home. All in all Gaeta proved to be a home port away from home port. 1 -rr, ' .,--,. -.n...V. ,.L-.Q.-ff fx ,ij its 7 7, ii df: , fs' ,Q A ZW 1,932 ' ' ' 1 Q .--...a.-- ,.-M-- -,. 14.1, ' ,-k, - Y.-.

To most sailors, Hump Day, or the mid-point of the cruise, repre- sents being half-way home,' to a reunion with family and friends. On Sep. 8, Battleship IOWA honored the Hump Dayi' tradition with a celebration while in-port Gaeta, Italy. And typical of IOWA, it was celebrated in grand fashion. Kicking off the day's events was a 5K mn around the ship's main deck at 9 a.m. Twenty-nine partici- P3-HIS pounded the teak to the tune of I2 laps which ran from the fore- Castle to the fantail. SN Wright of 2nd division was first to complete the mn with a time of 22:42. Other Participants were just as content, however, to finish the run at a slower IIHCC for their own personal satisfac- tion. Just as the 5K run finished Ollt, the next event was underway. Fofthe IOWA sailors who preferred H little more action in their sporting events, boxing Smokers were held OH the fantail. Each of the partici- pants, after being given a go ahead by the ship's doctors, faced off for 3 two-minute rounds. The partici- pants then climbed into the regula- tion size ring and duked it out in 1 1 separate matches altogether. By the time the last bout drew to a close, the ship's First Class Mess had fired up the coals for the afternoon's Steel Beach Picnic. Barbecue ribs and hamburgers were served hot off the grill. Potato salad, baked beans, Battlechip cookies and an assortment of cold sodas, all provided by the ship's Supply Department, made the picnic com- plete. Next came the grand finale. The long awaited Gong Show was held on the fantail amid much hoopla. The ship's band lent their musical talents to insure the success of the show. LCDR Goforth, BOS'N Patnaude and SN Bulldog Wilson were the reigningjudges, making the ultimate decision over who continued with their act and who would receive the gong 18 acts performed for the very tough-to- please battleship crowd, who often persuaded the judges to swing their malletsf' For those acts not receiv- ing the gong, the judges awarded scores on a 1 to 10 scale. First place honors went to the group, A View From the Bottom, a spoof on Captain's Call and The Reverend Washington, who gave a rousing sermon on the virtues of home. Second place went to The Admin Pukes, and third place went to The Re-Up Sailor. If the numerous peals of laughter, cat-calls and applause were a general indicator, the Gong Show was an enomious success. The day closed out with an outstanding display of ceremony by the Marine Detachment. A tradi- tional Sunset Parade was held on the fantail as the crowd watched the impressive precision with which it was carried out. As the Hump Day celebration ended, IOWA's crew realized that home was not so far away. 65 5 I f 1, 1, E, w. i 5 Q E E E i L E I . 1 Q x I lr x i I I 66 SMGKERS 4 SMOKERS Q anno-anna'-1vvw1QnwwlUwuu'4:-avuasrev-yf .-5...-...-N.-gpg.. 1 .,a,,,.,, is-.... . . 68 c P '-1-. a :.1ff',,,- L, ,Q , , nv ,fe.u....j' ,V , , m.W,,,,, 1' E Q 5 .

I don't know if I can still do it, but leaming how to do the dance was fun, he said. The day after the tour, like many other crewmembers from IOWA, Hiett went Christmas shop- ping at the Grand Bazaar. While he admits his initial idea was to shop for family and friends, he did buy a leather jacket for himself. I got some good buys on gold, brass and sweaters. When Hiett retums to his hometown of Geraldine, he'll tell people about the folk group, belly dancers and shopping and the Grand Bazaar. ' Not many people can say. they've been to Istanbul, Turkey, he said. :,.:.4'g,.3-'+.i,nj..q-'Q -5- - va.. 1- -,, '. .-- '.: ' V ,.!, . j.- , - , .

On Oct ll, the battleship pulled into the Itlorthem Israel port of Haifa. Haifa IS said to be where Carmel touches the SCH, which refers to Mt. Carmel, the same Camiel of Solomon's Song Of S0ng's, and the place of the Pf0phet Elijah's victory over the false prophets of Ba'al in the Bible's Old Testament. . Haifa is Israel,s third largest City and the capital of northern Isfflel. The area was settled in prehis- :mc UIUCS, evidenced by the caves 0neYC0mbing the Carmel hillside. In the late 19th century Haifa really began to expand and has been called the, City of the Future. And in reality, Haifa has become Israelis main port, major industrial center and a home for nearly 250,000 people. Many IOWA sailors ventured to the top of Mt. Carmel, where the city's USO was located, and enjoyed a magnificent view of the surround- ing land and the wide harbor. One of the main aspects of Haifa the battleship sailors noticed was the hospitality and friendliness of the citizens toward American servicemen. Although it was only a short, two-day visit to Israel, it is one that will undoubtedly remain long in the memories of the IOWA crew.

Alexandria is the nation's stock exchange, but the economy relies heavily on tourism and trade. It is situated on the western extremity of the Nile Delta, on a narrow strip of land sandwiched between Lake Muiyut and the Mediterranean Sea. A half mile wide isthmus provides access to the Island of Pharos, on the site of the 400 foot lighthouse, famed as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. On the other side of the isthmus are Alexandria's two natural harbors - The West Harbor handles most of Egypt's commerce and the East Harbor is used mainly by fishing vessels. Alexandria is located on the Nile River itself and is 124 miles northwest of Cairo. The population in Alexandria is roughly 3.2 million. IOWA sailors soon found out the principal language is Arabic. However, English is spoken and understood in Alexan- dria by many ofthe inhabitants. especially the street merchants. Battleship sailors were welcomed and warmly received in the great port city of Alexandria. 99 . .1- The Pyramids of EGYPT They have withstood rain and shine, war and fam- ine, plague and pestilence, and all for over 3,000 years. They are the great Pyramids of Giza, just outside of Cairo, Egypt. Once they were counted among the seven wonders of the ancient worldg now they are even more awe-inspiring in the modem world.,- . .. D The largest of the three most famous pyramids was built for the Egyptian King Cheops as a tomb. It is esti- mated it took over 100,000 men, most of them slaves, working a little over 30 years to complete the monumen- tal task. t During IOWA's port visit to Alexandria, Egypt, over 400 crewmembers took the opportunity to travel l24 miles to Cairo to see Egypt's capital and of course, the Pyramids of Giza. 5 'if I . . ,I U W 1 -. 1-' .V -- ' - v-4 . - ,V ,-1. ,.- . . .I , , , , , , - 5 'E' -' V D .

One of Battleship IOWA's biggest success stories on that count has been its Pioneer Remotely Piloted Vehicle CRPVJ program. The RPV, which is still a relatively new program for the Navy, is an unmanned drone plane that can perfonn a variety of special opera- tions. In addition, the RPVS, which are manufactured in Israel, have been J., -- , ,, ff gaining wider use in the U.S. mili- tary in the past few yearS- IOWA first gained an RPV detachment full-time during its 1981 88 Medllndian Ocean dCPl0Ymem' The IOWAIRPV team is nowiwell established and well accomlmshed' I think it's been working Ou' really great, said LCDR RD- smim, Officer In charge Of VC6' RPV Det-1.

Corsica's history is vast. Both the Etruscans and the Carthaginians founded settlements on the island, but its most important contacts were with Rome. It formed a part of one ofthe Roman senatorial provinces after the first Punic War and was llll used as a place of banishment. Seneca spent eight years there in exile until 49 A.D. Corsica remained under Roman control until 469, when it was conquered by the Vandals of North Africa. Following the extinc- tion of Vandal control in the 6th century, Corsica passed successively under Byzantine. Gothic, Lombard and finally Frankish domination after which followed a period of feudal anarchy. In l755, a revolt led by the national hero Pasquale di Paoli, whose secretary was the father of Napoleon Bonaparte. who was born in I769, gave the islanders control over all the coastal cities. I During the French Revolution the island was occupied briefll' by the British in 1794-1796, and again in l8l4, but was restored t0 France by the Congress of Vienna. .

There is one group of people who know that getting to their battle station quickly could save the ship. IOWA's six repair lockers are the keys to successful damage control. Effective repair lockers can prevent further damage to the ship in the event of an emergency. Personnel in the repair lockers are trained in different aspects of damage control. Some people are on the shoring team: ready to stop an overhead from falling down. Others are on a plug- ging team: ready to stop flooding. They could be on a pipe patching team or one of the other teams. There is one team has a lot of members on it, with good reason. That team is the fire party. The fire party is trained in fighting all types of fires. There are a lot of people on the team because it takes many people to get hoses out to the scene of a fire, people to investigate what damage has been done and people to report messages to the repair locker about what is happen- ing at the scene. Fire teams can be the difference between stopping further damage or having a fire get out-of-control. The goal of drills in the repair lockers is to get everyone qualified in all areas of damage control. This l 14 way if someone is incapacitated, a qualified person can take his place. Many drills are run during a training general quarters. These drills are geared to give the people in the repair lockers experience at handling an adverse situation. This will give the people in the lockers confidence and knowledge. These drills help me know what to do in case a real emergency should arise. The constant drilling makes what you should do a second nature, said SN David Williams, a member of repair l-Alpha's desmoking team. Should a real emergency arise the people in the repair lockers will be able to act effectively and quickly. These drills can range from small fire to a major hit on the ship. Immediately the people in the rellzllf locker must go into action. lnvCSllf gators have to go out and aSSCSS damage. They then report it back I0 the Repair Locker Officer. who then lets Damage Control Central lm0W what the damage is.

So now the fire team starts fighting the fire. In the meantime the shoring team is working on keeping the overhead secure. As these things are being done, a messenger is running back to the repair locker to allow the Repair Locker Officer know what is going on. Finally, the fire is out. The overhead is secure. The firemain has been repaired. The call to restore all gear has been passed. Tired and sweaty the teams return to the repair locker where they will be briefed on how they performed. This may only have been a drill, but the knowledge gained will help in the event of a real emergency. It's rough, hard and some- times tedious, but the efforts of the people in the repair lockers are very important. One day it may come down to where their actions may save lives. ll5 Palma, Mallorca IOWA pulled into the port of Palma, which is on the Spanish-owned island of Mallorca on 21 November. IOWA sailors then began to enjoy five days in the scenic and historical city. Palma is actually the capital of Mallorca Cpro- nounced MA-YORKAJ and also of the Spanish province of Baleares. The city is picturesquely situated on the Bahia de Palma fPalma Bayj where IOWA laid at anchor during the visit. The bay itself reaches about I2 miles into the south-west coast of the island. IOWA sailors found this important Mediterranean port a lively modem city of over 300,000 inhabitants. Palma is also the eco- nomic center and the cultural focus of the Balerics. One of the main cultural icons, which stood on slightly elevated ground in the city's center was Palma's Cathedral. This magnificent building was begun in l230 in Early Gothic style but not completed until the l600's. Near the cathedral was the town's USO, a polular meet- ing place for sailors and hub of various activities and sight-seeing trips made by battleship sailors throughout Palma. In addition to the points of historical and cul- tural interest, Palma's night life was also abundant. One popular nightspot, Texas Jack's, was rumored to have served the best bowl of chili east of the Pecos. Many IOWA sailors also purchased strings of the famous Mallorcan pearls. IOWA left Palma after tive very well spent days in port. IOWA then pointed her bow toward Gibralter, to head out into the Atlantic and finally to arrive back in homeport Norfolk. ,..

These are the essential fare for a fine Thanksgiving meal. Thanks to IOWA's Mess Management Special- ists, the battleship's Thanksgiving diner was fine indeed. Crewmembers were treated to a feast fit for the most finicky of pilgrims. Before the feast began, however, an ecumenical service was held on the flight deck of IOWA. Many of the 'crew attended to hear speakers and readers of Psalms and reflect on the true meaning of the holiday. IOWA's Commanding Officer Capt. F.P. Moosally read a responsive Psalm to lead off the service. Chief Fire Control Techni- cian David A. Cameron then read an invocation prayer. A Hebrew scrip- ture was read by Joumalist Seaman Peter L. Sunshine, followed by IOWA's Executive Officer Cdr. J .P. Morse reading a Christian scripture. Chaplain Joseph C. Cappar read a homily and reminded us why we were giving thanks. Chaplain Peter W. McGeory then read a Thanksgiv- ing Prayer, followed by the closing - 1 Benediction prayer read by LTJG - Michael A. Weaver. At the close of the service many of the sailors in attendance proceeded to the messdecks to eat and enjoy the Thanksgiving feast. And what a feast it was! Just like Mom used to make. tWell, almostj. The Mess Management Spe- cialists spent a lot of time preparing the Thanksgiving meal. said Chief MessManagement Specialist Charles F. Oakes. Bakery items were started the day before. The turkeys. all 80 ot' them, were started at l a.m. that moming and slow cooked to ensure that they wouldn't dry out. The messdecks were dressed up with artwork by Chief Mess Management Specialist Edgardo D. Baytan. and with a display ofa fulli' dressed turkey surrounded by huge bowls of nuts for the crew. On the messdecks sailors were smiling. talking and enjoying the food the tht MS's had prepared. Most of the lillk centered on giving thanks that we were almost home. After the Thanksgiving ml those who didn't have duty hadcthe chance to leave the ship and CIIJOY liberty ashore in Palma Mallorca, Spain. Most of those who went ll . . C llll ashore took time out to call hom wish family and friends there a happi Thanksgiving.

Amid the sounds of a Navy band and the excited shouts of hundreds of family and friends, IOWA tied up to pier 7 shortly after l p.m. When the brows were put in place, the long-awaited reunion of crewmembers with loved-ones was finally realized. Six months before, on June 7, USS IOWA CBB-615 left Norfolk, Virginia, for her six-month deploy- ment. Finally the deployment had come to an end. It was time to be home. During the deployment IOWA participated in two major Also during this period, IOWA was refueled by the West German oiler, RHON. During that refueling 195,000 gallons of fuel was brought aboard.

' we x From remarks by Captain F. P. Moosally i April 24, 1989 f 1 2 sz 4.47- ' THE CRE What was a line from a memorial service speech, became the rallying cry for a crew. When our Commanding Om. cer Captain F.P. Moosally uttered the words, uWe are the crew of IOWA, he expressed the pride and determination we all felt as we began the extraordinary task of getting our ship ready to deploy. It let everyone know that our's was not a ship of individuals, but of a family. We are as crew. That is what IGWA ultimately boils down to, itis crew. We may have the thickest armor, the most powerful engineS or the largest guns but without the crew I0 man her, a battleship, or any ship, is with- out life. A crew breathes life intoashill and we give her an identity of her 0WI1f We are the Battleship IGWA that the F051 of the world sees. A ship which makSS an impression on all who board her. Even what the rest of the world fl0f5 not see, the daily life of the battlesh1QS crew, adds to her personality. We 'Tam' we sweat and we toil. We swab hefdecks and shine her brass. And inthe Process TP - we leam to appreciate that our most valu- . able resource of all is, of course, our ship- mates. Both on and off the ship that per- sonality grows, for the people we meet I know our ship through our actions. : We are the crew of IOWA, also r sums up what we really are, a family. We i have endured many trials, from the excite- ment of REFTRA to the tragedy of April p l9th. And we built a common bond which can never be broken. Together, we stand ready to accomplish any mission, , no matter what obstacles lay before us. s The morale of this great ship and this o remarkable crew is at an all time high,', - I said our Captain. We continue to per- , form as professionals throughout the de- ployment and we returned to Norfolk in ' December proudly manning the rails - mission accomplished. Our ship is in fine 2 material condition and our training and i qualification program is a solid as the ShiP's armor. We are ready today!', . IOWA is our ship and we are her crew. QS We dedicate our lives to serving our Navy and our Nation. Our 1989 Mediterranean deployment, which took us from our fami- lies and friends for half a year, is one example of that dedication. HI cannot praise IOWA,s crew enoughf' said Vice Admiral J. D. Wil- liams, Commander of the Sixth Fleet. 'Their performance has been of the high- est order. There is precision and pride in everything they did. In every port in the Mediterranean, IOWA sailors were out- standing ambassadors for our country. They are the best our Navy has. Even Admiral Howe, the Commander in Chief of U. S. Naval Forces Europe, sang the praises of IOWA's crew saying, The real winners are those who can take a hit and come back strong. You are true winners. We are the IOWA. Our common bond is forever strong. We work side-by-side and shoulder to shoulder continually building the great family we have be- come. We are permanently fused like the steel of the ship we sail. We are our ship, and she is us. Together we form the living IOWA Spirit. 131 ' ' fi 'W' 5 '.:,f: 5'-...Q-5-a-f+Jv .. , ln. a 3- N- W v 1 --4 -UQ ' 'WZ A 91 if f 0 -- r, I A U? 1., ,, --9-'2-n ,-.,, -as J, 4 w :K-.i,,. 1 Q .
