KEPPLER, Boatswain's Mate First Class, winner ofthe CongressionalMedal of Honor while servingin USS SAN FRANCISCO at the Battle of Guadalcanal. KEPPl.F.R'S keel was laid at the San Francisco Yard of the Bethlehem Steel Com- pany on 23 April, W44, she was commissioned in May of l947. She has seen much action, including a previous round-the-world cruise in which she won many laurelsfor contributing to the fight against aggression in the Republic of Korea. lt was a bright 4th of October, whenKEP- PLER unfurled her colors and set sail on her most illustrious voyage to date. The ship pro- ceeded to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for refueling and minor repairs.On October 9thKEPPLER'S keel cut through Pacific waters as she passed through the Panama Canal and stopped at Rodman Naval Station, Republic of Panama. lt was here that the crew first tasted the excitement and charm ofa foreign port. During the transit rom Panama to the Hawaiian lslands,the crew was developing into a closely knit and effective team through many hours of arduous drills and exercises. But the hard work bore fruition early as the Mighty K gun crews qualified her for Pacific Fleet shore bombardment by attaining excellent scores in competitive firings iust prior to her arrival at Pearl Harbor. KEPPLER entered Pearl Harbor late on 2l October to the breath- taking sight of an island whose every hill was ablaze with light. All the crew relaxed in the sun and sand of the many beaches covering Oahu during the ensuing week. KEPPLER got underway for Yokosuka, Japan, on 30 October, arriving on the lOth of November, losing a day in transit when she crossed the lnternational Date Line. After a brief stop at Okinawa, the ship entered the Tonkin Gulf on lf? November. KEPPl.ER'S first assignment, as plane guard for the USS TlCONDEROGA, was to became Q familiar mission in the months to follow. During this at-sea period KEPPLER first became associated with Operation SEA DRAGON -- a Naval interdiction of North Vietnamese waterborne logistics craft. The interdiction was highly successful, however, the highlight came on December llth, when KEPPLER effected the rescue of a downedAir Force pilot scant miles off Dong Hoi, North Vietnam. On 2l December the ship entered Sasebo, Japan, for some much-needed relaxation for the crew and upkeep for the ship. Christmas Day saw KEPPLER entertaining a groupofchildren from a local orphanage, treating them to a delicious dinner and later presentingthem with gifts as a remembrance of the day. The high point of the holidays was most certainly the Ship's Party, which provided an opportunity for the officers and men to enter into the spirit of the holidays.STG2 Roger O. PACIFIC added to the enjoyment of these affairs by puttingon his professional magic show fgratis -- as usuall. On December 31 KEPPLER again set sail for Vietnamese waters, spending New Year's Day, T967, refueling from an oiler in transit to the Gulf of Tonkin. On January lOth we steamed into Hong Kong for a five day visit. The Pearl of the Orient , provided an outstanding opportunity for many of the crew to purchase items of iewelry and clothing normally out of the price range of most sailors. Mary SOO and her helpers completely repainted the sides ofthe ship in return for foodstuffs supplied by the galley. On the l5th we departed, escorting the FDR down to the Gulf. Dawn February 7th, saw the ship arriving at Subic Bay, Republic ofthe Philippines, after a successful period at sea, during which KEPPLER sank many enemy supply barges and carried out plane guard assignments for the attack carriers on Yankee Station. while in Subic, the ship went into drydock for repairs to her hull and screws. Many of the crew en- joyed visits to Manila, and to neighboring Grande lsland, where there were numerous recreational facilities. On February l4th, KEPPLER left the Philippines for what was to be her most grueling test of fortitude on the long deploy- ment. KEPPLER iourneyed to the lCorps area of South Vietnam to provide gunfire support to friendly forces on the lst of March. While supporting U.S. and Republic ofVietman troops, KEPPLER played host to some of our boys who were stationed ashore with the marines and RVN forces. To these fellows a hot meal and our abbreviated Navy Showers were a luxury. Quite unexpectedly, on March third, KER- PLER was ordered to proceed North to join the Heavy Guided Missile Cruiser CANBERRA and an old friend, the Destroyer Ingersoll, for intensified operations against logistics craft and coastal radar sites trackingAmerican air- craft. The first few days on this mission were fogbound and the ship's efforts were oriented toward surveillance, but the fog finally lifted and the task unit began an aggressive inter- diction patrol. There were long hours of patient watching and waiting as KEPPI.ER'S radar scanned the coast of North Vietnam for enemy barges and the guns roared with feroc- ity as they destroyed their targets with deadly accuracy. Shore installations and water traffic alike were brought under the sights of the ship's main battery. So effective were the unit's efforts, that coastal shipping immediately made for port when they glimpsed the ap- proaching mastheads and the coastal artillery batteries were put on the alert. Saturday II March, I967 is a day that is now proudly recorded in KEPPLER'S history. For on this date she provided maximum counter-battery shot against powerful enemy fire and her crew reacted magnificently when her forward gun mount was hit in the third battle of the day. The months of hard training now paid off as the wounded crewmen were expeditiously evacuated from their stations by the heroic and competent action of their ship- mates while the engineers pressed the plant to capacity to get the ship out of the heavy rain of enemy fire. KEPPLER finished her last at-sea period HAWK and then plane quarding for KITTY steamed for subic Bay. After spending Easter in the Philippines, KERRLER effected a mid- night departure for her next port-of-call, Singapore. On March 29th, the equator was Crossed and the traditional ceremonies were 9ftlOyed by Shellbock and RoIlywog alike. The initiation into the Solemn Mysteries of the Ancient Order ofthe Deep was accomplish- ed to the full satisfaction of the presiding ruler of the day, his maiesty, Neptunus Rex . April Ist saw the departure of the ship from Singapore, the last Asian port we were to visit on the deployment. Tropical uniforms and sunbathingwere the order of the day as the ship transited through the intense heat of the Indian Ocean en route to Massawa, Ethiopia. After spending a day in Massawa to refuel the near empty tanks, KERRLER departed for Port Said and the Suez Canal on I3 April. Most memorable in the transit of the Suez Canal is the searing heat enveloping the ship and the Egyptians hawkingtheir wares on the fantail. e chin the waters of the Mediter- Upon r a g ranean, the ship set her course for that island of Mythologicol fame, Crete. The ship next spent three memorable days in ValIeta,MaIta, making many friends and enjoying some wel- come rest and relaxation. The ship then weighed anchor and steamed for Naples, where two day tours to Rome were arranged, considered by many to be a high- light of the cruise. The Island of Maiorca, Spain, was next on the agenda and the site of another ship's party for KERRLER. The Mayor of Inca, second largest city on the island, entertained a de- legation of the crew from each ship in the division with a dinner party. Sunday, April 30th found the ship entering the harbor of Gibraltar. The day was spent by many KERRLERMEN intouring The Rock , ascending it's heights via cable car. The antics of the apes that inhabit ledges of the Rock amused most of us. A brief stop at the Azores for fuel cul- minated the list of ports ofcall onKERPLER'S around the world cruise. On Monday, May 8th, KERRLER entered Newport amid Brass bands, welcome home signs and water spraying fire- boats, happy to be home, secure in the know- ledge that the Mighty K had accomplished ALI. her missions with distinction and had vindicated her motto- R EADY .
