McCain QDL-33, the second ship of the Mitscher QDL-2, class of frigates, was commissioned 12 October 1953, at the Boston Naty Shipyard. She is named for the late Vice Admiral john S. McCain, who gained fame during World War 11 as the commander of a fast carrier attack force. Admiral William F. HGlSQ1 paid this tribute to Admiral McCain: Your resoursefulness, ingenuigf, stamina, and fighting spirit have been superb. lnadequate though it may be, l give you one more rousing, Afarewell, 'Well done.' V McCain is 493 feet long, 50 feet wide at the beam, 117 feet from waterline to mast tip, and displaces 4400 tons, fulbf loa.ded. Her main engines develop 8o,ooo horsepower, capable ofdelivering speeds in excess of 35 knots. Her four steam driven generators could meet the electrical needs of a cigf of 50,,000. Her fre mains have a capacigf equal to that of the combined' output offve fre trucks. ' The ship is armed with two 5,754 gun mounts and one 3 f70 twin mount. These guns combined can deliver 260rounds per minute. The undersea threat is countered with Weapon Alpha , various antisubmarine torpedoes, and conventional depth charges. Her vast array of electronic detection and communication equipment makes McCain well suited for search and picket duties. ' 'Q Home ported in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, McCain- proudbf bears the flag of,Destrq1er Squadron 'Twengf-Five. She normalbf operates with an anti-submarine Hunter-Killer Group, better known as a HUK Group, which is organized around a high speed aircraft carrier. The carrier, her aircraft, and the destroyers in the group work together as a specialized forces to counter t-he enemy's submarine threat. 1 Assigned to the United States Seventh Fleet, McCain operated as an integral unit of the world's largest task fleet. Seventh Fleet's jurisdiction includes nearbf one-sixth of the earth's surface or thirgf million square miles, extending from the Siberian coastal waters to Antartica, and from the Indian Ocean to 160 degrees east longitude, approximateb1 1200 miles east of Guam. Comprised of some 150 ships, 700 aircraft, and 70,000 highbf trained Naxy and Marine Corps personnel, the Seventh Fleet is dispersed throughout this vast ocean area, acting as a deterrent force against enemy agression in the Wester'ni'llJacific and insuring that the sea lanes are kept open for -free world trade. V Duringlthe period from September 1965 to March 1966, MCCein steamed some 57,000 miles engaged in missions ranging from surveillance to shore bombardment. Twice McCain was called upon tolfre at Viet Cong strongholds in South Viet Nam. ln December her, schedule took her to the frigid waters of the Sea of japan for joint operations with units of' the Korean Fleet. ln january she was assigned surveillance of Soviet units operating in the Philippine Sea. Libergf ports ranged from Ghinhae, Korea, to Sydney, Australia.

Where else on this wide earth could one find a more devoted, hardworking, loyal, .and Well-disciplined lot of rabble-rousers, the incomparable seamanship expected of all Seventh Fleet ships, and liberty hounds blessed with undying incorruptability on the beach. While putting in many long hours and much hard work on board, we also put in a few hours on the beach, although our motto in Subic Bay, Give me a liberty card or give me deathf, nearly drove the Executive Officer to distraction. In Hong Kongf however, we drew a little slack in the form of early liberty and time off in which to rest, although little rest was had. The Pay' master also came through with a few coins, which were t t which were taken back to Hawaii. . - f pu o good use on tours and on the purchase of various goodies, Some 0 Though sometimes bleary-eyed and fuzzy-minded, the men of First Division can be proud of many accomplishments. Side- cleaners Lefty,' Frizzell, Adair, SN, Delgado, SN, and Gallegos, SN, managed to keep the sides looking as if we weren't alWayS moored next to the Fletcher.

These were the culprits that started the comP1Cfe1Y Un' founded rumor that our division consisted of a bunch of animals. We roared in reply-and shot down a high-speed drone in 21 CtYPiCaD gunnery exercise. Credit for this feat went to,LTJG Moreland in Director 51 with his sterling crew of Unger, FTG2, Darveau, FTG3, and McGinnis, FTGSN. In Mount 31, Johnson, GMG1, growled commands to Christensen, GMG3, and Johnston, SN. And next morning on Director 51 and on Mount 31, there appeared, for the entire lleet to admire, a mystic flaming banana, courtesy of Ru les FTGSN- Sg , Second division personnel commanded the attention of their shipmates a few weeks later at the Gunnery Department personnel in- spection. Other divisions wore whites or blues-we wore both. Gun Boss LT Hart had devised our uniforms-dress blue jumpers with white trousers. Shaw, GMG2, laconically commented, Even you guys wouldn't wear that on the beach. The day before Thanksgiving some sailors may have become apprehensive when the ship proceeded within a good-swimmer's reach Of a white-sand ictur - t- d ' ' ' ' , p Ve pos car beach in South Viet Nam. But instead of swim call the animals had a turke shoot. Mounts 51 and 52: , Y under the expert guidance of gun captains Shelton, GMG2, and Stock, GMG2, provided on-target fire.

There is a surfer, Evans, STGSN, who sits on the fantail and polishes his surfboard. There's our representative from the Detroit Chapter of the Mafia, Green, STGSN, and our ambitious Stuber, SN, who once launched a rocket at the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. Thereis Big Dad Navalta, Wh0 whips his strikers into line, inspiring them with well-chosen words of encouragement. Therels the intellect, Trimlett, STG3, who arrived on board only to discover that he was next to go mess cooking. And who needs Caruso when we have Gary Io? A strange combination, we'll admit, but each carries on the burdensome work of transporting coffee cups as we skate from one com- partment to another. Besides the fact that we have the fatherly job of caring for, pampering, and controlling the actions of our sonar and ordnance equipment, we have our own self-discipline to maintain. For recreation and a change of this routine, the entire division swings into action with the signal, Set the sonar attack team? A complete change from relative dormancy to intense action takes place- Equip' ment growls, minds sharpen, tigers roar, and ASW is in full progress. We missed countless hours of rack time and some couldn't handle the strain, for instance, our fearless Cunico, STG3. The grind was just too strong to bear, so he gave up prestige and money because he lacked the courage to extend 77 days for STG2. But new hope arises. Small, TM3, is planning a big SCORE by changing to sonar tech- nician, and a STAR was attained by Adams, STCS, and Alexander, STG3. Always changing, the division somehow adjusts to new situations. When we lost LT Shoop as ASW Officer, the tears that were Shed could only be quelled by gaining LT Moreland as his relief, and, to some extent, by liberty in Hong Kong. Many other things will be remembered by our division: For Roberts, TM3, the grief when the Navy changed from alcohol to electric-propelled tofpedoes' For Schmidt, STG3, the affectionate pats he gave Myrtle to keep her going from one day to the next. For Johnson, STGSN, the fun he had while frapping number six in Subic Bay. For Coley, SN, his recent operation t0 rCm0Vc the mattress that had grown to his back. FOT Anders, GMG1, the spiritual guidance he gave us. For Catlin, SN, the new liberty cards he issued us when we so desperately needed them. Also we can't forget the softball games in Subic Bay with our triple threat man, Best, SN, and our sociable beer brawls afterwards- And last, but not least, we salue Thomas, the youngest bald-headed torpedoman in the fleet. So now we wait for orders, looking forward to Philadelphia. For some it's home, for others, a new division on another ship and, Perhaps, another cruiSC. But most definite1Y, none will be like Fox Division that made the 65-66 West Pac cruise on USS John S.

Cracking the whip over the electronic technicians were ENS Tom HSatch Simpson and Nielsen, ETCM. On the way over to WestPac and from Yokosuka to Yankee Station off Viet Nam the radarmen' were very busy in combat with ASW exercises, gunnery shoots, and communication drills. Once on station the pace slackened to the routine job patrolling our assigned area and tracking and reporting all radar and ECM contacts. A break in the monotony came when McCain was called upon to deliver shore bombardment in support of operations ashore in Viet Nam. Since CIC, shipis nerve center, is directly involved with plotting targets and communicating with the spotter, this was a very exciting and rewarding day for the radarmen. Playing a big part in the success of the gunfire mission were Burgess, RD2, Beat, RD2, Schomaker, RD2, and Orosz, RD3. The ETs, however, performed a most thankless task. -They are responsible for maintaining the equipment that the radarmen use. This, of course, led to a lot of good-natured recriminations between the RDS and ETS. The ETS were always certain that the RDS didn't know how to operate the gear, and the RDs were equally positive that the ETS didnlt know how to Hx it. One of the highlights of the cruise for the division was winning the ship's softball tournament held in Subic Bay. After sustaining a Hrst round loss, the OI Division Plunderers defeated the Second and Fox Division Tigers in the final game to take the championship- Senior Chief Johnson came through with some outstanding pitching Cfor a man of any agej, Schomaker swatted four over the fence lead the league in home runs, and Jacky Jones made some unbelievable plays at third. Throw Hard to Harvey did the catching when he ,co get time off from the constant confusion known as Radio Central. In Sasebo three members of the division made a big hit in the entertainment circuit. Chick Chandler, One Beer MacCourt, and Animal 0 7 2 ' ' ' Frye, all third class radarmen, played some wild rock and roll at one of the local cabarets. Reported the Animal I guess they liked us-f they kept jumping around and screaming. , p The division had several men honored by advancements and commendations during the cruise Chief Mares made the big jump from' chief to senior chief. Harvey, ETN3, advanced to ETN2, and McCuaig, ETR3, advanced to ETR2 Parking RDSN made third class, an Schomaker and Orosz were awarded good conduct medals. In addition, Schomaker was given a letter of coinmendation prior to the ship in Sasebo. ' . 'r' 'ir ffm' I it pr' 'fi' In Nl ,Wu 4 4 5' - 'WN 1 '15, k 4 -w Q . a s , , I!

George, QMSA, known for his quiet voice and mild manners on the beach, and veteran I. P. Brown were the other QMS and with the new strikers S0011 progressed to a three section watch-a rarity in OC Division. Overseeing all quartermasters was Chief Hull, who seemed to live 011 the bridge. The Chief could always be found on the wing of the bridge taking a fix or in the pilot house plotting one. ' The PN! YN section of OC, led by Chief Rangel, did an excellent job in WESTPAC. With inexhaustible patience and ma1'1Y h0UfS of hard work, they always managed to keep ahead of the mountains of paperwork. Pizarro, PN1, athe whipn, veteran Devito, and rookie Sheroky made up the rest of the ship's office group. Carson, YN3, another experienced hand, kept the operations oiiice in fine trim through' out the cruise, in spite of a little water. ' The signal gang, responsible for the ship's visual communications, was another mixture of old and new. Under the leadership of Bailey, SM1, the signalmen showed much improvement during the cruise. Alfa Alfav Randolph and Billy Joe Crawford soon had their sections molded into workable teams. Veterans Wilson, SMSN, Meyer, SMSN, Gutting, SMSN, and Smith, SMSN, were also Of Sfeat help as the ship began the cruise. It wasn't too long, however, before Faass, SN, and Tetreault, SN, were holding their own. , The radio gang likewise did a commendable job. The WESTPAC communications requirements had more than doubled since the last cruise, so that the RMS approached the cruise with mixed emotions. Senior Chief 'fDoc Kelly did an outstanding job keeping McCain communicating. With his assistant, Chief Phipps, he quickly isolated the major problem areas and implemented solutions. Of g1'Caf h?1P to the ChiCfS Were the two veteran Supervisors, Hutte, RM2, and Stoll, RM3. In spite of being in port-and-starboard sections for the entire cruise, they managed not only to do their job well, but also to keep morale high. Denton, RMSN, and Leekity, RM3, the third radio' man chiefv were responsible for the busy and extremely important task group common net. McCormick, CYN3, Pitts, RM3, Orland0, RM3, and Rogers, RM3, were FOX men, and deserve much credit for keeping the missing numbers to a minimum. O'Connor, RM3, Hall, RMSN, Nowak, RMSN, and Smith, SN, worked many hours and t d l't 11 . Ype iera y thousands of messages for both ship and staff. Highlights of the cruise for OC were: Yokosuka, our first port of call: Subic Bay, where the OC sneakers', were robbed of the soft' ball championshipg Sasebo and all the Christmas trimmings, and Hong Kong, where Denton finally got SOme.1iberty. - 7 7 9 7 ' J 3 9 9 7 ' 'Q 3 2 , , , - J-Q 7 9 7 7 ' 0 f 0 . . . , , . . . . . .

This assortment of specialists provides everything from laundry services, to mea S, 0 P Y , to repair parts, to .even a healthy shot of medicinal li uor. q Under the guidance of. Chief Archbell, the commissa t ff h ry s a as worked hard to make each meal more than just an accumulation 05 food by decorating the service line with fiery volcanoes, Christmas scenes, and shipis emblems, ingeniously derived from colored rice an. other foodstuffs. The man behind the scenes is Searle, CSI, who, as jack of the dustf, maintains the stores. and sees to it that there 13 always enough of everything on hand for the breakouts the next day. Doing the actual preparation and cooking are the port-and-starlboarts watches of Lightfoot, CS3, Diekmann, SA, and Carlson, SN, and Schick, CS3, Krock, SN, and Windsor, SN.

The more personal aspect of supply is provided by the shipis servicemen, whose contributions to shipboard comfort are embodledfrill the functions of laundry, ship's store, and barbershop operations. Chief Brown heads up the ship's servicemen and does an outstan 1 E job of co-ordinating these operations and maintaining the records. Lloyd, SH2, is the hardworking ship's store operator who can alwgy be called upon to figure out a watch bill problem or set up an organization chart. The maiority of the ship's servicemen are the laulgi FY gang who always manage to wash and press the mountains of clothing that fill up the SH compartment every Monday and Thurs aa They include Duenas, SH3, Walton, SHSN, Matherne, SN, Platt, SN, Crane, SN, Britt, SN and Gallegos, SN.

She excels in those missions which are most demanding of positive reactions, reliability, and endurance. What is the mission fyf a frigate? In a very broad sense, she directbr implements that ultimate goal of the Navy-to gain control of the seas and to deny their use to the enemy. IH Pllffuit of this goal her more immediate taslzs are varied-ASW, search and rescue, picket and screening dugg surveillance, air, surface, and shore gunneryg and, yes, even plane guarding. During MCCain's 1965-1966 Cruise perhaps the most routine ry' all missions was surveillanC6. An occassional Soviet unit was sighted, and in january McCain observed two Soviet guided missile destrcyers for about a week, but the slzunlzs most generalbf turned out to be Jqshing b00155- Twice McCain was called in for shore bombardment of the coast of South Viet Nam. For the thirteen years, her 5 f54 and 3 f7o batteries were fired in anger.

Both Protestant and Roman Catholic services were hlld each Sunday While underway. Through most of the Jqrst part of the cruise the ship vvas most fortunate in having a Protestant Chaplain on board, and on other occassions the services of a chaplainrvvere received via the Hob Helo .

Approximatebf two months later the ship will be decommissioned and will remain inactive for the remainder of the conversion period, expected to last about twengf-two months. During MCCain'S thirteen years of service, the United States and the rest of the world have witnessed striking changes-and continued conflicts between nations. McCain participated in one of these conflicts-the war in Viet Nam, perhaps one of the most confusing and frustrating struggles in histogf. The United States Seventh Fleet is famed as a ready power for peace-and, indeed, this description may he applied to all U. S. Naval Forces. We hope that during the next two years, positive steps may he taken to achieve this peace and that the recommissioned McCain may fnd hersey' in a world illuminated by the possibiligf of international agreement and understanding. It is to this hope and to United States Ship John s. Mccain 413116-363 that this book is dedicated. l I Y J. Q MN urn rid?
