The UniTed STaTes Ship fwo Jima is The firsT ship of her class and The firsT ship To be de- signed from The keel up as an amphibious assaulf ship. She was launched on SepTem- per 47, 4960 aT BremerTon, Washingfon, and commissioned on Augusf 26, 4964. lwo Jfma's original homeporT was San Diego, California. l-ler firsT of six VVesTern Pa- cific cruises pegan in SepTemper of 4963. ln each deploymenT she could pe found play- ing an acTive role in SouTheasT Asian devel- opmenTs. One highlighT of fwo JiTna's WesT Coasf career was her assignemenf as The primary recovery ship for The ill-faTed Apollo 43 lvloon Mission and The successful recovery of asTronauTs Lovell, SigarT and Haise. ln lviay 4972, Iwo Jima deparTed San Diego for The lasf Time, pound for her new homeporT of Norfolk, Virginia. Six weeks afTer arriving on The EasT Coasf she deparT- ed for her firsf Mediferranean deploymenf. Also ThaT firsf year, Iwo Jima received The Arleigh Burke Trophy for The The mosT im- proved ship in The Aflanfic Fleef. OTher EasT CoasT high- lighTs include her parTicipa- Tion as hosT To 4,200 official guesTs aT The 4976 Bicen- Tennial Mardi C-Bras celebra- Tionsg her parTicipaTion in The evacuafion of civilians from war-Torn BeiruT, Leba- non in June 49765 she con- ducTed The firsT shipboard cerTificaTion Trials for The CH-53E Super Sed STallion helicopTer, The largesT air- crafT of iTs kind in service To- day: and in May 4979 she was hosT To such guesTs as Don KnoTTs, Diane Carroll, Charo, Henry Kissinger and Mrs. Happy Rockefeller in New York CiTy for The Tap- ing of The Bob Hope BirTh- day Special ThaT aired na- Tionwide. wr The Mission . . . Iwo Jima's main baTTeries are The 4200 embarked Marines and Their helicopTers. Her mission is To deliver These combaT ready Troops and Their supplies inland, bypassing enemy beach defenses To engage The enemy in a Two pronged assualT by air and by sea. The auesTion for The nead of This Type of delivery was answered early in The 4950's when helicopTer operaTions in amphibious warfare came in To Their own. The value and effecTiviness of helicopTers was proven conclusively in The Korean conflicT and heloborne assaulTs soon became an inTegral parT of amphibious operaTions. ,, ri., Captain William Dclugherly CapTain William A DougherTy was born in PoTTsville, Pennsylvania He received an appoinfmeni To The U.S. Na- val Academy where he earned a commission in The U.S. Navy in June 1958 Subseauenfly, he commenced flighT Training and was designaied a Naval AviaTor in January 1960 Flying S2F TRACKER aircrafT wifh VS-27 in Norfolk, Vir- ginia he made deploymenTs To Europe, Soufh America. and The Caribbean while flying aboard USS VALLEY FORGE, USS RANDOLPH USS ESSEX and USS INTREPID. ln Augusl 1963 CapTain DougherTy maTriculaTed in The OperaTrons Research curriculum aT The U.S. Naval PosT- graduaTe School Monferey, California.

The Captain Only a seaman realizes to what great extent an entire ship reflects the per- sonality and ability of one individual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman this is not understandable and sometimes it is even difficult for us to understand. But a ship at sea is a distinct world in herself and in consider- ation of the protracted and distant operations of the fleet units, the Navy must place great power, respon- sibility, and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. ln each ship there is one man, who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. ihere is one who alone is ul- timately responsible for the safe navigation, engineer- ing, performance, accurate gunfire, and morale of his ship. l-le is the Commanding Gfficer. He is the ship. This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His privileges in view of his obli- gations are almost ludi- crously small, nevertheless, command is the spur which has given the Navy its great leaders. lt is a duty which most richly deserve the highest, time-honored title of the seafaring world . . . Cap- tain. Joseph Conrad Com- mcmder Russell J. Henry Commander Russell J. Henry, a naTive of San Francisco, California, received his com- mission in The U.S. Navy in 4962.

Our visit to the U.S. Naval Station there wasn't for liberty or fun and relaxation, though: it was to effect the turnover of Sixth Fleet emphi- bious responsibility with the USS Sakban, be briefed on the situation in the sea of ages , and take our place as Task Force ol. The three days we spent there, though, did give us some relief from the routine of the transit-the Divtacs, GQ, Carrier Quals, Tactical drills, and other exercises that were designed to rnold the Task Force into a unit, but at the time seem nothing so much as a waste of time-and boring at that. Most of the crew weren't able to get off the base, but everyone enjoyed the oppor- tunity for a cold beer and a good horne- cooked meal at the club. Before long, it was back to sea, through the Straits of Gibraltar, past 'tThe Rock , and into the deep blue waters of the lvledi- terranean. 4.

BeauTiful Naples, And The Amalfi Coast d I4 N s 1 -df' rl Haifa, Israel A Study In Contrast . One of the highlights of our cruise was OU, port-of-call in Haifa, israel from April 26th till the morning of the first of May. Very few of our sailors or Marines had visited israel be- fore, but the ones who had told us to ex- pect a uniaue, exciting, and memorable ex- perience . . . they weren't wrong. Israel, and the Middle East generally, is Q place that holds great significance for all peoples of the world as the 'lcradle of civil- ization . Jesus, Moses, Allah, the Pharohs, and Roman legions all trod on the dusty lanes of these timeless cities, and many of the streets today remain just as they were nearly two-thousand years ago. Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jaffa fnear Tel Avivy, and many other revered locations beckoned the Iwo Jima's crew, who re- sponded by going on tours in record num- bers. Not all went in groups. Some adventur- ers set out on their own to learn the lsraeli transportation system, meet the real people, and absorb the culture. Some even stayed at Kibbutzim, lsrael's communal agri- cultural enclaves. Another highlight of the visit was the re- ception, held on the 27th of April for the mayor of Haifa, and the Commodore of lsra- el's Haifa Naval Base. The reception fea- tured entertainment by Sixth Fleet's stage band, 'tlhe Diplomats , and was held in Iwo Jima's hangar bay, festooned with signal flags and bunting. Many guests later took us into their own homes. . ,-. .- ,. 2 ,gi N. flu flgpfih E' , 'YC' 0 I , .. . 1.11 fl.. 5: ., , V w 1 1, - I .- Q.,-.15 , ..
