B TATISTICS With 282 officers and men, OWENS' haze gray hull is a living machine re- quiring tremendous amounts of supplies to keep her running. During the seven and one-half months she was deployed, OWENS traveled over 52,720 miles, or far enough to have steamed around the world twice and in doing so used over two and one-half million gallons of fuel oil. The ship went alongside various replenishment ships at sea 63 times, collecting everything from fuel and bullets to electron tubes and ice cream. Although supplies were restocked whenever in port, replenishment ships such as oilers, refrigerator ships, and ammo ships remained her primary source of supplies as she spent 76 percent of her time at sea and on the line. During the deployment, over 2,100 gallons of paint, 2,000 repair parts and 3,000 items of a consumable nature, such as paint rollers and swabs, were issued. Over 3B425,000 was paid out in payrolls. In the ship's galleys aboard, 1145 pounds of hot dogs were consumed, or enough that if placed end to end would reach half way across Charleston between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. Enough coffee and cokes were served or sold that if passed out in Charleston, every man, woman, and child would receive three cups of coffee and two cokes. While aircraft carrier plane guard duty and Soviet trawler surveillance were important assignments, naval gunfire support remained the most challenging of CWENS' assignments. OWENS' guns accounted for 12 Viet Cong killed in action, 101 bunkers and fortifications destroyed, 75 structures damaged and miles of supply and escape routes interdicted. CWENS expended a total of nearly 7000 rounds of high explosives during her tour on the Gunline.
