The Philadelphia Experience 5--ti After six-and-a-half months of almost continuous operations in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, USS JOSEPHUS DANIELS steamed into Philadelphia for a major overhaul. Daniels arrived in Philadelphia 14 October 1982, and, after several days at historic Penn ' s Landing, entered Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The ship was suspended in drydock for six months, and then, in early May, moved to Pier 6. Sea trials were held in September, and during that week DANIELS encountered the fierce winds and seas of Tropical Storm Deane. DANIELS ' crew expended 23,145 mandays, which equates to 24.62% production factor. The average percentage for most ships during overhaul has been about 17%. Combat Systems underwent extensive overhaul and upgrade. A Close-in Weapons System was added, and an SM-2 upgrade was performed. In addition, a single audio system for better communication was installed, and the Electronic Warfare Suite was upgraded with AN SLQ 32 (V) ESM ECM Systems. The first major milestone was the August Light-Off Exam. For months the engineering division worked long, straining hours, and the results were awesome. The test was completed within 24 hours, there were no major def iciences, ail oral exams were passed, and all administrative aspects were satisfactory. On more human terms, DANIELS ' crew worked through an excrutiatingly hot and humid summer, labored through extended working hours, and toiled under t he constant clanking and grinding cacaphony of an industrial shipyard environment. As an example of morale stability, retention rose in quantum leaps. Over 45 DANIELS ' sailors reenlisted during overhaul, and in that time the ship ' s ranking in reenlistment rose from sixth to second in COMCRUDESGRU 8. Members of the crew also spent their free time engaged in ship-sponsored sporting events, and many ventured into the local community to help underprivileged citizens. Crew- members worked for weeks renovating the Christian Street YMCA, saving the organization several thousand dollars. Others held clothing drives for Bethel Baptist Church in Kensington, a depressed, poverty-stricken region of North Philadelphia.and these same sailors visited the poor, aged and forgotten, and helped rebuild the church at phenominal savings to the parrish. ii
