Built by Litton Industries of Pascagoula, Mississippi, JOHN YOUNG is a member of the first class of ships in the U.S. Navy to have gas turbine power. Four General Electric LM-2500 engines, marine versions of those used on DC-10 and C-5A aircraft, drive the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots. Twin controllable-reversible pitch propellers provide JOHN YOUNG with a degree of maneuverability unique among warships her size (563 feet long and displacing 8000 tons). JOHN YOUNG is a multi-mission destroyer capable of operating independently or in company with amphibious or carrier groups. Her primary mission is to operate offensively in an Anti-Submarine Warfare role. JOHN YOUNG ' s sonar is fully integrated into a Naval Tactical Data System, providing the ship with faster and more accurate processing of target information. Integration of the ship ' s digital gunfire system in the NTDS provides quick reaction in the perform- ance of the ship ' s mission areas of shore bombardment, surface warfare actions, and anti-aircraft warfare. In her 10 years of active service USS JOHN YOUNG has participated in 4 Western Pacific Indian Ocean deploy- ments, 5 RIMPAC exercises, rescued 255 political refugees from the waters of the South China Sea, and conducted combat operations against the Ras Hadat Oil Platforms in the Arabian Gulf. USS JOHN YOUNG has recently been awarded the Battle Efficiency ' E ' from Commander, Destroyer Squadron Seven and was selected as Runner Up for the COMNAVSURFPAC Anti-Submarine Warfare Ship of the Year Award. A destroyer is a lovely ship, probably the nicest fighting ship of all Battleships are a little like steel cities or great factories of destruction. Aircraft Carriers are floating flying fields. Even Cruisers are big pieces of machinery, but a Destroyer is all boat. In the beautiful, clean lines of her, in her speed and roughness, in curious gallantry, she is completely a ship, in the old sense. - John Steinbeck Ship ' s Coat of Arms The coat of arms of USS JOHN YOUNG (DD-97:5) serves as a heraldic reminder of the ship ' s namesake, Captain John Young. The shield of the coat of arms is a tricolor design. The upper portion is per fess gules (scar- let) and the lower portion is independence hlue. These are separated by a wavy bar in white. John Young was appointed in the Continental Navy from Philadelphia in 1776 and received his Captain ' s commission in October of that year. During much of his period of service he was associated with France who was then helping the fledgling American nation in their strug- gle for independence. This is represented by the golden fleur-de-lis in the upper part of the shield. In August of 1780, while enroute from French Marti- nique to the United States aboard the 18 gun sloop-of- war SARATOGA, Captain Young captured four enemy vessels after a severe engagement with two of them at one time. This deed is symbolized by the wavy bar with four stars. On 20 March 1780, Captain Young ' s ship, the SAR- ATOGA, sailing in the company of French and American ships, became separated in a storm and was never seen again. The loss at sea of Captain Young and his crew is symbolized by the anchor without cable. The tricolor de- sign alludes to the national colors of both the L ' nited States and her Revolutionary War ally, France. The mast with sail hoisted is symbolic of the Conti- nental sloop-of-war SARATOGA, Captain Young ' s last command. The coat of arms of the early American family Young is represented by the red rose on the sail. The ship ' s motto, Prends La Mer Avec Courage , meaning Set Sail with Courage serves as an inspirat ion for the men who serve aboard the USS JOHN YOUNG. The Commission Pennant The origin of the commission pennant is said to dale to the 17th century, when the Dutch were fighting the English. 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 p]nglish 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 coachwhip, pennant (symbolizing the original horse- whip) has been the distinctive mark of a ship of war and has been adopted by all nations. Commander Sherman E. Wright Jr., USN Command at Sea Only a seaman realizes t o what extent an entire ship re- flects the personality and ability of one individual, her Com- manding Officer. To a landsman this is not understandable and at times it is even difficult for us to comprehend, but it is so! 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, responsibility, and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emer- gency or peri! at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one alone who is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfire and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship. This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instance during his tour as Com- manding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His privileges in view of his obligations are al- most ludicrously small; nevertheless, command is the spur which has given the Navy its great leaders. It is a duty which most richly deserves the highest, time honored title of the seagoing world . . . CAPTAIN. JOSEPH CONRAD Commander .Sherman E. Wright, Jr. was born in San Mateo. Cali- fornia.
