The professional background of the naval officer after whom the ship was named was also a major consideration. The crest of the insigne, the eagle's head in silver, represents the high ideals to which the ship's crew is dedicated to uphold and, further, is supportive of the ship's chosen motto Nulli Praeda - A prey to no one . The crest rests upon a blue and gold wreath which serves only to separate the crest and the silver helmet of a gentleman. The helmet connotes the readiness of the ship to defend those under escort. The blue shield with 3 golden banners is representative of the Ship's capability to project power over, under and on the sea against intruders attempting interdiction. These figures set upon a red background, are completely encircled by the name and numerical designation in gold, of the ship against a blue background. The blue and gold colors, while appearing as major colors in the family coat of arms are representative of the Naval Academy background of the Admiral while the two stars represent his rank of Rear Admiral at the time of his retirement. The helmet and shield shapes were extracted from the family coat of arms as were the blue, gold, red and silver colors of the insigne. A -1- The Loss of a Shipmate IN MEMORY OF BT3 CHRISTDON E. GRIFFIN, USN 16 OCT 1955 - 28 SEP 1977 The unity and closeness of a ship's crew is something unseen and unfelt by the outsider. But to those of us who live and work in the confines of 414 feet of grey bulkheads, experience the long weeks at sea, the lonely months away from home, the many hours beyond a civilian 40 hour work week, to those of us who wear the Naval uniform, stand the endless watches, prepare for the various inspections, train for the war we hope never to see, Unity is the foundation upon which all the success, honors, BZ's, and well dones are achieved. The unity of a ship's crew is something only the crew- member can feel, experience, and see. He becomes a part of the ship, and the ship, a part of him. He becomes a part of the lives of everyother shipmate aboard, and everyother shipmate's life becomes a part of his. lt is that binding force that only a sailor can know that makes the loss of a fellow shipmate one of the most difficult trials the ship will undergo. But it's at a time of loss that the significance of the ship's unity is made ever more real. It is then that the importance of each and every man onboard becomes the focal point of our thoughts and attention, and the men reach out to help those friends and family members of the lost shipmate. And so itwas when BT3 Griffin died in an unforseen accident last September in Charleston. BT3 Griffin, or Grit as his friends called him, was loved by all onboard. His smiling face and cheerful approach to life filled the fireroom in which he worked. It was his humor and laughter that helped make the work seem less difficult and demanding. Throughout his three and a half years onboard, he did much to improve the readiness of the fireroom, and assisted in the successful completion of three of the ship's most difficult engineering inspections. His efforts, his knowledge, and his attitudes combined to produce an outstanding boiler technician that the ship and his shipmates can always be proud of. After the sad news of his death reached his shipmates, the crew immediately proceeded to raise almost S350 to be jointly used to purchase a memorial monument to be placed at his grave site and to assist the surviving family with the funeral expenses. All in remembrance of a true friend and shipmate missed by all. -2- W -N -- ----- - H -A-1.-4 ...gr-V D..- - .,-.x m,,A4 - Y,-ar..

After the security of his childhood, and during the insecurity of his second childhood, we find a fascinating group of humans commonly known as sailors. -5- They come in various shapes and sizes, weights and states of sobriety. They can be found anywhere on ships, in bars, in love, and always in debt. Girls love them, towns tolerate them, and Uncle Sam supports them. -7- A sailor is laziness with a deck of cards, bravery with a tattooed arm and the protector of the sea with a copy of Playboy in his back pocket. He has the energy ofa turtle, the slyness of a fox, the brains of an idiot, the stories of a sea captain, the sincerity of a child, the ap- petite of an elephant, and the aspirations of a cassanoua. When he wants something it is usually connected with a liberty card. -8, Some ofhis likes are: girls, women, females, dames and members of the opposite sex. He dislikes answering letters, getting up on time, his superior officers, the chow and squaring his hat. -9- No one can cram more into the jumper pocket: a little black book, a pack of crushed cigarettes, a picture of his best girl, a Playboy calendar, a deck of cards, a church key and what's left of last month 's pay. He likes to spend his money on women, booze, poker and the rest he spends foolishly. -1o- He can always be depended upon to sign up for every tour and side trip, only if they're scheduled during the workday or his watch. -11- Initiative is his middle name and screaming is his pastime. From Iubejobs in the fireroom to a sea bat on the deck. From mail buoys on the forecastle to King Neptune and his court. Screaming is his pastime, while constructive thought is a sin. -12- ThesaHorspendsrnuch oflnsthne handHngrnoonng'Hnes shot lines, tending lines and fishing lines. He thinks he's Broadway Joe with the football, Pele at the goal, Wilt the Stilt on the court and Ali in the ring. A sailor is a gob, a twiget, a snipe, an ape and other animals. But above all - a mate. -13- ni His life is spent in foreign ports, on the high seas, chasing un- known ships, and where home-port is just a fuel stop. His acquain- tances range from Presidents, Ambassadors, and Admirals to hey joes , burn boats, and local people. -14- A sailor is a magical creature. You can lock him out ofyour house, but not out ofyour heart. You can take him off your mailing list, but not off your mind. You may as well give up. He is your far-away-from-home lover, your big bundle of worry. But all of your shattered dreams seem insignificant when your sailor docks, looks into your eyes and says, Hi honey . 3.1 .1 ' .fm 1 . fini-.:. .4 . f --V4 - -v 44 ' -' ':.1,:..

VADM GIBBONS BT -62- ONCE I LOVED Once I loved the wind as it blew down from the mountains over the land. Once I loved the touch of the wun almost as much as the touch ofa hand. And once I loved the smell of the sea, the feel of the waves rolling over me. Sea and sand, air and sky, Once I loved, oncell loved. Once I loved all of God's things that grow on the earth and cover the land. Air and sky, sea and sand, Once I loved but never till now. - Rod McKuen -53- r !
