OUR HERITAGE The insignia of the USS JOUETT (CG-29) hears a short hut potent motto: ETERNAL VIGILANCE. From time to time, these words may convey various svmhols ami meanings. In the last analysis, however, they always come to focus on the concept of ceaseless watching and constant readiness. ' ' JOl ' lTT ' s motto is a first principle for ship ' s company. It defines our daily duty in the clearest possible terms. It also speaks to a past history, a purpose, and a price that must be paid by those who dare to display such words. In that respect, ETERNAL VIGILANCE becomes a terse but weighty summary of the JOUETT HERITAGE. ETERNAL VIGILANCE recalls past history and a tradition spring- ing from the 19th century naval career of Rear Admiral James Edward JOUETT. In 49 years of service, Admiral JOUETT distinguished him- self by dedication, daring, and decisiveness. These personal qualities are essential ingredients for ceaseless watching and constant readi- ness. CG-29 is the third ship to bear his name. Each has executed missions worthy of his reputation. Indeed, each has added to his reputa- tion. ETERNAL VIGILANCE reminds us of the purpose for a ship of the line. Upon commissioning, every naval vessel becomes an instrument of our national objectives. This is true, whether engaged in the projection of sea power or the promotion of people-to-people diplomacy and missions ot mercy. A sober responsibility falls upon each succeeding ( ommand and Crew. No one can adequately fulfill this obligation without crease-less watching and constant readiness. ETERNAL VIGILANCE reflects the price required to uphold the JOUETT tradition and the national trust. JOUETT men must give beyond average professional expectations. They continually strive to be first. This is not for the sheer glory of position or recognition. Rather, it is the only time-tested way to insure that our missions will he completed with competence and excellence. JOUETT men meet the challenge of disappointments, sudden changes, frustrations, failures, and sundry other obstacles with adapt- ability, determination, creativity, and initiative. When textbook solu- tions tail, they invent. W hen sources are lacking, they improvise. They bear with long separation from loved ones and the comforts of life ashore to keep JOl ETT on the line. Motivated at times by duty alone, they turn to. W( are proud of the JOUETT HERITAGE. It is a distinct and singular honor to cam on in the place ot those before us. May the thoughtful consideration ot our past, our purpose, and our price etui stantly stimulate in us the character necessary tor — ETERNAL VIGIl.ANf I ' T ■ ; f Mayfi mttat ' 6 r B THE BEGINNING OFT-HE CIVIL WAR.

Another major objective of TASK OROl ' P 75.3 was sea-going diplomacy for the United States. We showed the flag in .1 remote, but politically important part of the world. Our group succeeded in both respects and earned the praise of Rear Admiral Alex Sine lair. ( OM- MANDER TASK FORCE 75.

It is a long standing Navy tradition to initiate those sailors crossing the Equator for the first time. These initiates are known as pollywogs or simply wogs. They can not enter the domain of NEPTUNUS REX until thoroughly purged by the Trusty Shell- backs. This entails elaborate preparations and ceremonies. ROYAL DOMAIN RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR SHIPS ENTERING THESE WATERS Pollywogs will muster in the starboard for- ward passageways leading to the anchor wind- lass room as called over the IMC. All pollywogs will address all Trusty Shell- backs as Most Honorable Shellback Sir. All pollywogs will not speak unless spoken to by a Trusty Shellback. No nonsense or skylarking by pollywogs will be allowed. All Special Equator Details will be prepared to explain their special duties and the impor- tance of their watch to any Trusty Shellback upon request. All pollywogs will be prepared to provide special favors and courtesies to Trusty Shell- backs and follow any special instructions giv- en to them by a Trusty Shellback. O ' EQUATOR CROSSING All pollywogs will be down on all fours in the presence of NEPTUNUS REX and HIS COURT. Prior to entering COURT, pollywogs will shout slimy pollywog (name) request permis- sion to enter THE COURT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS NEPTUNUS REX.

The USS RATHBURNE entered port and obtained much welcome mail for transfer to our ship. Then we proceed- ed to the island of Mauritius, which is off the coast of Madagascar. We arrived at Port Louis, the capital, on 28 July. Mauritius is a gorgeous, paradise-like island. British and French influences are predominant. The people were generally quite friendly. Mike Turnauckas, our CETA, was treated to an airplane ride over the island by a local British family. A Mauritian policemen gave a broke anil lost sailor taxi fare back to the ship. That friendship was reciprocat- ed in a variety of ways. In one instance our Mess Specialists treated 36 bovs from the Mauritian Muslim Orphanage to a party on the Mess Decks. W i left Port Louis on 30 July, steaming south, then west around the tip of Madagascar, and north through the Mozambique Channel. On 5 August, we entered Mombasa, Kenya. During our four day visit, we pursued sightseeing, shopping, swimming, and safaris. Crew members donated blood to the Catherine Bibby Memorial Hospital. 19 men from JOUETT and RATHBURNE painted at the NGUMBA YA W AZEE Nursing Home. Departing from Mombasa on 10 August, we proceeded to the Gulf of Oman. Operations there included exercises with the Omani Navy. And the Russians came out to look us over. The weather in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea was incredibly hot. We survived, however, and eventually headed back towards Singapore. Three and one-half weeks elapsed inroutc from Mombasa to Singa- pore. During th.it time, we emphasized recreation as well as our normal military exercises. These activities included Bingo, Smokers, Fantail ( ookouts, a Fishing Derby, and a No Talent Talent Show. On 3 September, we berthed in Sembawang Port, Singapore.

En- route from Singapore to Subic Bay, JOUETT was contacted by a U.S. P-3 aircraft. The pilot had people behind. JOUETT arrived after dark. With the aid of flares dropped by the P-3, we found 16 men, 5 women, and 16 children. They were in much worse condition than the other refugees. At sea for 21 days without adequate provisions, VIETNAMESE REFUGEES spotted a possible Vietnamese refugee boat some 360 miles east of Saigon in the South China Sea. Arriving at the scene a few hours later, we found a small wooden vessel flying a tattered S.O.S. flag. A special team boarded JOUETT ' s Motor Whale Boat and went to inspect the condi- tion of the vessel. Based on the team ' s report, Captain Martin declared the vessel to be un- seaworthy. He then ordered that the refugees be taken aboard JOUETT. Later, their boat was sunk to avoid leaving a navigational hazard. I 7 men, 19 women, and 11 children came aboard. They were organized by families and given emergency medical treatment, showers, and clean clothing donated by members of the crew. Then they were taken to the Helo Hangar. This area had been rigged with mattresses, pil- lows, and fresh linen. After a hot meal, 47 ex- hausted people settled down for their first com- fortable night in days. The next morning, we were investigating a small radar contact. This proved to be another refugee boat with 22 men, 10 women, and 10 children aboard. Our Refugee Assistance Detail went into action again. Within hours, JOUETT received another P-3 report. A refugee boat had been encountered by Soviet warships. The Russians, however, left the they had resorted to eating dried jellyfish and drinking seawater or urine. As a result, many were severely dehydrated. Some in the boat had already died. We continued to investigate further possible contacts for about 12 hours. No other crafts were located. A pregnant woman and a 16 year old boy needed immediate hospital care. Ending the search, we proceeded at full speed toward Subic Bay. Upon nearing the coast of Luzon, Navy helicopters were dispatched from Cuhi Point to MEDEVAC the woman and boy. JOUETT ' s distinct effectiveness in handling the rescue was immediately noted by COM- MANDER SEVENTH FLEET. All ships in the South China Sea area received a message with guidelines developed by the JOUETT. These guidelines were recommended for use in all sub- sequent refugee operations. For their outstanding contributions to the res- cue, three JOUETT men received high honors presented by Captain Martin on 28 December. On behalf the SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, COMMANDER SEVENTH FLEET awarded the Navy Commendation Medal to HMC Robert Li- vengood, the Navy Achievement Medal to ENS Richard Faust, and the Navy Achievement Medal to PNC Larry Gibson.

COMMENCES UNWIND BEWARE OF J ' S HAMMER!! ■1 NORTHERN PACIFIC OPERATIONS 3 OCTOBER - 15 NOVEMBER 1979 We were once again underway from Subic Bay on 3 October. During the inport period immediately prior, JOUETT spent eight days in drydock. This was a traumatic experience in the life of our ship. But it was worth all of the dust, water, mud, noise, fumes, and clutter. With a clean, freshly painted hull and a new starboard propellor, JOUETT slipped through the water with the grace and ease of a blue-nosed dolphin. Our mission for the next six weeks primarily centered around the USS KITTY HAWK (CV-63). We became part of the CARRIER BAT- TLE GROUP in NORTHERN PACIFIC OPERATIONS. Acting as plane guard and anti-air warfare picket, JOUETT provided an umbrella of protection for the HAWK. On 9 October, we engaged in a BUZZARDEX. Participants in this exercise are among the most select in the FLEET NAVY. In traditional form, JOLLY J smashed the BUZZARD with her biggest hammer. This added another highly significant achievement to the JOUETT HERITAGE. We entered Yokosuka, Japan on 12 October for upkeep and liberty. Liberty in Japan can be quite expensive. Resourceful JOUETT men, however, managed to sightsee for a nominal cost. Many pursued self- guided tours, aided by the efficient and economical Japanese railway system. JOUETT left Japan on 22 October and headed towards Pusan, Korea. A sudden political change in Korea brought the BATTLE GROUP to alert status. We proceeded to an area west of Korea and remained on station until the situation stabilized. Entering Pusan on 5 November, most of the crew spent the next four days in one giant shoppingex. Adidas bags, tennis shoes, blankets, and sweaters headed the list. There was also time for painting two barracks buildings at the Pusan Sin Ae Won Orphanage. With Christmas presents stuffed everywhere, we left Pusan on 10 November. The transit south took five days. We entered Subic Bay on tin afternoon of IS No ember, expecting to stay until 27 November and then proceed homeward. These plans, however, were dramatically changed. On the morning of 21 November, JOUETT received twelve hours steaming notice. Our destination was the Indian Ocean. A major crisis had been prec ipilated by the Iranian take over of the Ann ru an I mbasS) in Tehran and kidnapping of American citi ens. This ultimately added another sixtv days tO our WESTPAC and opined a new .mil ital i haptc r in the JOUETT HERITAGE. 49 YOKOSUKA JAPAN PUSAN KOREA W« 2 RETURN TO THE THANKSGIVING BLESS OUR FEAST ETERNAL FATHER In gratitude for your care and provision, the Pilgrim forefa- thers set aside a feast of Thanksgiving.

CHAPLAIN GARY POLLITT A U TURN Twas three weeks before THE DAY, when all through our town, All the J girls were busy buying frilly nightgowns. The Welcome Home banners were painted with care, And the band was reserved as were tables and chairs. The Thanksgiving Turkey had cooked ' most all day, While visions of pumpkin pies brightened the way. With Moms in their aprons, and kids at their places, We are grateful to know that we ' d soon see your faces. When over the airwaves there arose such a clatter- We perked up our ears to hear what was the matter. Away to the transistor we flew like a bird, Turned up the volume, BUT didn ' t like what we heard. In the hush of the room, you could hear a pin drop. The children were quiet: it was news about Pop! Then what to our wondering amazement we learn At the very last minute - You ' d made a U ' turn! But we want you to know right now and right here, That deep in our hearts, you ' re always quite near.

Ill COPING WITH MANY 4 o- LONG DAYS AT SEA ■ - JOUETT departed Camel Station on 23 January 1980. In company were USS Kim ' HAWK, USS BERKELEY, USS STEIN, AND USS WABASH. We formed TASK GROUP 70.4, commanded by CAPT. W.P. ALLEN, COMDES- RON THIRTEEN. Our transit homeward indued a stop in Subic Bay from 3-8 February 1980. On 16 February 1980, we outchopped SEVENTH FLEET and became TASK GROUP 37.8 under THIRD FLEET operational control. Entering Pearl Har- bor, Hawaii on 19 February 1980, we stopped to offload WESTPAC assets. Then, we embarked thirty-eight male relatives and friends for a TIGER CRUISE to San Diego. UPON RETURNING HOME BY OSC JAY SHAW As homeward bound this ship of ours turns east to face the sun. We marry ourselves to the ocean of dreams with her we are as one. She beckons us with whispered voice to stroke the swell of her breast. Mighty ships fearless men ride her foam filled crests. Soon our loves we promise you in just a few more days, The mighty bow of 29 will be visible through the haze. See us proud men that we are calloused hearts that bear the scars of a lonely life of wanderlust. She calls us to the sea reducing you to a fleeting glimpse that serves as memories. Fond and dear we embrace them close keeping you in our heart. Fearing the moment we say goodbye when our two worlds must part. She guides us through the latitudes as around the isles we sail. Through raging seas the teeth of the wind she protects us without fail. She will share with you our time let the sun break through above. But will defend to the very end her singularity of love. She loves her men who sail the ships who claim her virgin soul. Her temper is the mighty wind her love a gentle roll. It is a burden we all must bear that of being alone. But oh the pleasures we all share upon returning home. When our bodies grow weary the depths so blue our spirits fall below. She sends thoughts of you and back again we go.

SPEAKER, IN A FEW DAYS TIME ABOUT 6.000 YOUNG AMERICANS WILL BE RETURN- ING TO CALIFORNIA FOR THE CHRIST- MAS HOLIDAYS. THEY WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO HAVE BEEN HOME IN DECEMBER WHEN THEIR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS CELEBRATED CHRIST- MAS, BUT THEN SO WOULD ANOTHER 50 AMERICANS IN TEHRAN, THE EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN IRAN. AND LATER IN AFGHANISTAN ARE OF GREAT CONCERN TO AMERICA AND TO OUR ALLIES AND FRIENDS. AND SO TO SHOW OUR RESOLVE, THESE 6,000 DEDICATED MEN OF THE USS KITTY HAWK, USS JOUETT, USS BERKELEY, USS STEIN, AND USS WA- BASH SERVED NOTICE TO THE WORLD THAT THE UNITED STATES IS DETER- MINED TO MAINTAIN PEACE AND STA- BILITY IN THE REGION. OUR COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MARITIME NATION, DEPENDENT ON FREEDOM OF THE SEAS FOR TRADE SE- CURITY. TO MAINTAIN THAT FREE- DOM, THE U.S. NAVY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON CALL— FROM TRIPOLI TO MA- NILA BAY, FROM THE NORTH ATLAN- TIC TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC. THESE RE- TURNING SHIPS REMIND EVERYONE THAT OUR NATION STILL MAINTAINS A FORCE ALWAYS READY FOR RAPID DEPLOYMENT. AND SO TODAY, WE SALUTE 6,000 BRAVE MEN AS THEY RETURN HOME FROM A LONG VOYAGE. THESE AMERI- CANS EXPECTED TO BE HOME LAST DE- CEMBER, BUT THEIR COUNTRY NEED- ED THEM, AMERICAN MARITIME TRA- DITION CALLED, AND THE PRIDE OF THESE MEN IN THEIR WORK RUNS DEEP. THEY RESPONDED. TO THE MEN OF THE USS KITTY ' HAWK, USS JOUETT, USS BERKELEY, USS STEIN, AND USS WABASH, WE SAY WELCOME HOME AND A BELATED MER- RY CHRISTMAS. YOU ARE HEROES TO US. Entered inio THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD on 20 February 1980 by Congressman Bob Wilson from California.
