Knapp Ship's History The USS KNAPP fDD653j, a 2150 ton destr0Y' er of the Fletcher class, was built at the Bath Iron Works Corporation, Bath, Maine. The vessel was named in the honor of the late Vice Admiral Harry Shepard Knapp. She was first commissioned at the Boston Naval Shipyard on 16 September 1943. F ol- lowing an extensive shakedown cruise to Bermuda, the KNAPP set sail for the PaciHc war zone, stopping on the west coast long enough to become a member of Destroyer Squadron 50. The KNAPP performed her duties well, taking part in numerous encounters with the enemy and earning eight battle stars on her Asiatic-Pacific Area Service Ribbon. She also earned the Navy Occupation Medal for duties performed after the war had ended. The KNAPP returned to the United States in time for Christmas 1945 and was placed out of commission in Reserve at Charleston, S. C. on 5 july 1946. She was reactivated at Charleston Naval Ship- yard, Charleston, S. C. starting in March 1951 and was recommissioned on 3 May 1951. After another intensive shakedown cruise, the KNAPP operated out of Newport, Rhode Island until 26 August 1952 U' ,. a.. guy, fi?

S. 6th Fleet and took part in the fleet exercises held off Maltaland Sardinal December 1952. The KNAPP operated indepen. dently following the Fleet Exercises, spending Christmas in Athens, Greece and New Years day in Istanbul, Turkey. Then she proceeded Westward on 3 january 1953 stopping at Athens, Greece, Tarra- l gona, Spain, and Gibraltar. The KNAPP arrived in 5 Newport, R. I. on February 1953 after having gone 1 about 100 miles above the Arctic and having stopped at every major European country - not unevehtfully, covering 25,000 miles. Following a short stay in the Boston Naval Shipyard, Boston, Mass., the KNAPP operated out of . Newport, R.

Captain HEINE was born in Highland Park, Illinois in 1915. Te attended primary school in Ham- burg, Germany for seven years acquiring a thorough understanding of the continental way of life as well as a more than academic knowledge of the German language. Retuming to the United States in 1927, he completed high school in Highland Park and then went on to Northwestern University where he was a member of the Reserve Officers Training Corps and upon graduation in May 1939 was commissioned an Ensign in the United States Reserve. His first active duty was in 1940 on board the USS LAUB, a four stacker destroyer, that was turned over to the British. He then reported to the USS GREGORY, an APD, and by virtue of his being senior surviving officer, he assumed command of that vessel when it was sunk, during action with the jap- anese on 5 September 1942. VI day found him heading the LCS-1 group 15 in Tsingtao. China. Since the war, Captain HEINE has served as Executive Ofhcer of the USS DYESS QDDRSSOJ and as Officer-in-Charge of Naval Recruiting in Dallas, Texas, prior to becoming Commanding Officer of the Uss KNAPP in July 1952.

You could probably find more good cloth in a Bikini bathing suit than in the entire KNAPP Hag-bag, but the signal men make the best of it. The Radarmen, better known as the scope dopesi' are usually found in the dark, in a space called the Combat Information Center where one always hears - blonde and sweet or blonde and straight. Garbled? Not on my watch, sirv, is a familiar cry in the electrical jungle known as Main Radio. KNAPP well posted on all official communi- cations and a pretty good coverage of stateside news when we are steaming, which is a very common oc. curence for the KNAPP. Some of our talent hides back aft but are called at various times during the day or night to maintain or repair some of our modern, up-to-date electronic equipment. These men, sometimes considered magi. cians, are really our Electronic Technicians. QDarn handy to have aroundl.

Some off the men, having stolen the preceeding few moments for the ever welcome 40 winks and well-wom dreams of home, are shaken from their private little worlds to perform vital duties to the nerve center of this Eghting ship.

In the compartment, Sleepy JOHNSTON is living up to the tag, and bemoaning his unjust fate. Kaz' KACZMAREK rolls to his feet and bounds back to his station in the after-steering control room. 'Canvas-Back' SCHAEF ER bounds out of the ba with a glad refrain, usually a muffled 'UCH' and gro es his way forward, toward the bridge, being slowed lfxy the very efHcient damage control squad, who always seem to close all hatches just before he ets there. ......................... . g Tourist CURRIER, our Hampshire mailman, iis roused from his sack, time after time, to take his is roused from his sack, time after time, to take his In the center of the ship, in emergency radio - the supplement to Main Radio - Hums', HUME and Lover LYNN DUNN profound vast theories in the field of electronics, DUNN usually wandering to thoughts in his journey of no return.

An insistant buzz sounds from CHARLIE 'West of the Pecosi' ET- TLiNG in the counter-measures room inquiring, as always, You guys got any mud up there?

We are about to venture ott on a journey to dis- tant lands, aboard our so-called MAGIC CARPET. So, it's all aboard for our crew of forty men. At the wheel is Mr. Bump DAY, in charge or this itinerary, and in the co-pilots seat is Mr. Choo Choo ALLEN. Cruiser', LEDFORD BMC, gives the order to ullstakes fore-and aft and we find ourselves air- Egme. The shi starts out with no immediate troubles until the word, is passed Secure the ship for rough weather . oe Pot, LAIRD runs for the coffee mess, and Candy Bar LOFTNESS, and his sidekick 'Little Sam MARTIN are having themselves a time trying to stow LOFTY's main source of food. We find ourselves landing our carpet in japan, and the first one off is Baldy DILLINGER who hotfoots it up to the hilln, to get the layout of the land. Bobo' BOWMAN and Bones RILING took their hard earned money and invested it in a grow- ing enterprise, the Harbor Bar. It seems as though they forgot to inform their shipmate Terror,' Mc- CORKLE of their purchase because he proceeded to tear their interest down. They were fortunate, though, to have the patronization of HUGHIE HUGHES, who is of fair size and has a large capa- city for good old Niplpon. Also investing their pay while in this wonderfu Far East is Big I. LAWVSON who bought and occupied one seat in the Missouri Bar, Woody MILLINER who owns half of the Peace Hotel, and Coffee Cup BROVVN, the onky man who payed fifteen hundred yen for a cup of co - fee.QHow many did he buy?j. Boats CONSTABLE went ashore with two hundred yen but couldn't seem to find anything that cheap. A few of the crew tried learning the ways of the japanese in hopes that maybe they'd be able to re- turn. There was Lover SUITOR, the one man most ada ted to this kind of liberty, and Lightfoot BRSWN, who turned pro in the art of japanese dancin . . It's Eli hands back aboard again as we leave this land of enchantment for some other interesting place. 'Slee FYE has the carpet all swipt down, and as usualplle did it with his eyes close . His close-run- ning second up forward, jet WEBB, who found out that they use brooms topside as well as below and Our Magic Carpet the rumor has it, he likes ice cream and stronger drinks when available. Alongside comes our Slllaxlel' carpet which we call the g1gi', and it is piloted by hbaltyv MARKS, and his assistants Butterball BROWN, and Sneakers IOHNSON. Next on our itinerary is Italy, and setting down there, we are mobbed by friends of Easy BILLOCO, Wine Spout CANCRO, and Big IOHN OREFICE. Rfter spending some time ashore Rocky MASON, and Sly SLIM DAVIE came back with a sizeable amount of rocks. Boston Benny DIGREGORIO went looking for some of his relatives, and Farmer KOKER went to check with the farm bureau and find out what the a icultural situation was. As we leave Itaif tears are in the eyes of all who were met by their relatives, and those claiming that this was their homeland. Running Lights PERRY, and Eyes EDICK should have stayed over here, be- cause they were noted for their bargaining in the Far East. QThey certainly could have made a 'ving herel. Stopping a short time in Arabia Spot COLE- MAN claims the title of the onl one aboard who drank Pepsi Cola in the middle oty the desert. We find ourselves setting down in S ain and there to welcome Wahoo EMERON is tlie ueen of Bel 'um. fLucky gu Huh?l TEGGART todlc the title ofqthe stores working party, and assisting him is Uppy UPTON. Airborne again after a brief stay here, we head for Portugal where Big jim BROADICK gave his shoulder to the cause. 'Tack Hammern HEIGES was thankful for that. Bring 'em back' ABNER could have used a little of this assistance in some of the places we've been, too. Now on our way back to the states 'F at Boy' GORHAM is thinking of the 88 he's been saving for.

They represent numerous rates and are molded into Eve basic groups, BT's MM's ShipHtter,s, A gang, and Electricians. Besides getting you there and back , which is too Often taken for granted, the boys attempt to pro- vide and maintain whatever comforts can be jammed into 376 feet for 300 men. This is not an easy job when one considers there are 300 men waiting to offer suggestions. The maintenance and creative work may vary from replacing the element of the chief's toaster to finishing the Spud Locker or any other UHEINEALTN. Damage Control and allied personnel manage to keep busy during regular hours, but it is during GQ that these people really shine. If the hull con- tinues to grunt and groan their work may be become more important as the weeks pass. ....... .

Our other stopping-place in japan WRS Yokosuka Qpronounced Yokuskalj in Tokyo Bay. The crew feels that Yokosuka was the most beautiful of the two because of its many attractions. Mt. Fuji is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. When viewed from the ship on a clear day it forms a very interesting background for the many hills and valleys that IAPLAN is noted for. For the not so hardy gentlemen , the Enlisted Men's Club was a main attraction. Most everyone else paid a few visits to the store of packaged spirits which was next door to the E.M. Club. Also there were many thousands of Cabarets and rest homes scattered throughout the city. For nightclub atmos- phere the Grand Shima for surpassed any other es- tablishment in the city. The boys feel that some of the performers would rank with Lili St. Cyr and Rose La Rose in their profession. Although the ship didn't sta as long in Sasebo as Yokosuka we still feel as though we got our money's worth. The only resemblance Sasebo bore to Yokosuka was the people and the price of a bus. . We all feel that the japanese people were friendly, courteous, and very thoughtful to the American servicemen. Everyone, with the exception of a few short timers, is looking forward to a return visit to the land of Fuji.

After walking a useless mile some of us took the bus and were roped into a tour of the oil reHnery. We were shown four plants by the fore- man of each. They were the Power plant, both the catalystic and fractional distiller crackers, the as- phalt and barrel rnakini plants. Some did get to e nearby village bringing back some souvenirs and being good sa' ors eventu- ally found something to drink. The city itself was typically Arab in design and layout. As the majority of stores didn't open until 4:00 in the afternoon, buying was limited to street venders selling silver and gold trinkets. Most of the streets were narrow and dark with the shops dimly lighted. Articles, in the stores were mainly Britis and Arnrican and were reasonable in price. -s -. r ' Aden It is a British Crown Colony in South Arabia, on the Gulf of Aden.

There was also a two-day tour was educational and impressive, although a bit dis- appointing since the Pope was too ill to grant any audiences. Naples itself offered several varieties of enter- tainment: a few chose the opera, some sampled 'real' Italian food and Chianti for 'Chanty', as one con- noisseur called itb, and the majority visited 'The Snake Pit' and other world-famous bistros for at least one 'quick one'. There were cameos to be bought tat the 'origina' factory, of coursej and eight or nine hundred henchmen of Lucky Luciano selling guns, hony money or offering their services .as guides Iby climbing into the taxi with you and sitting on your lap. The KNAPP left Naples on the afternoon of Feb. 18th, leaving two men stranded somewhere off in the hills when heavy snows disrupted all trains and road traflic.

The harbor is of great importance as it links Northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean ports. LISBON has a population of 710,000 The city is set on seven hills and is dominated b the fort, Castel de Sao Jorge. Though many of the old buildings were destroyed by earthquakes, some of the medieval buildings remain. The old section of the city about the Cathedral, Alfoma, has picturesque relics. Many of the buildings are of tile veneer. The roads are of cobble stones and the sidewalks of small marble squares. Many of us walked about the city viewing the sights and taking pictures at random. The tools and methods employed in building are still of a primitive nature. Most of their Hshing craft still use the sail for propulsion. lA familiar sight is the passing of the varinas, the dark-skinned Hshwives, who pass grace- full through the crowds balancing heavy baskets of iish on their heads.

It all started when JOHN CARVIN, with his trumpeti DON HAUCK, with his saxaphone, and ENS WHIT DAVIS, with his trumpet decided to see if they could create a small band. lAfter a few nights practice other members were incorporated into the band. They were LEE IONAS, on the guitar: FRANK CYARMATY, on the accordion, RICHARD ROELOF F S on the drums, BOB RANDALL on the trombone and DICK KIRKPATRICK as vocalist. A late newcomer to the band was ENS FRANK SYL- VESTER, a man with a good ear for harmony on trumpet, who reported aboard the KNAPP for duty in December 1953. The first time the band played was for three other ships of Destroyer Division 182. After that successful debut the band was known as the Duty Bandn. The next time the band played was when the KNAPP pulled alongside the USS F RONTIER in Yokosuka, japan. After that the band played every- time the KNAPP came alongside another ship and whenever the ship went in and out of port. The band entertained Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force per- sonnel when the KNAPP transported them between PUSAN, Korea and SASEBO, japan. The outHt has also played in the Ofticers' Club in PUSAN, Korea and on the beach in POINT SILVER, Korea. It has also entertained patients at the U. S. Army Hospital in SASEBO, Iapan. The Duty Band was also fea- tured at a Nightclub, The Bijou Hinode, in YOKO- band played or dancing and also the floor show.. band played for dancing an dalso the floor show. Severa men from Destroyer Division 182 were pre- sent, including our Captain and Executive Officer. , . N .ah The most enthusiastic su orters of . if have been our Captain, Commralfider H, and and our Executive Officer, LCDR R. A. BRACKEQIJIQ Without them insisting that the Duty Band be one on every opportunity to play the band would have never existed. One of the best things accomplished by the Duty Bandv was two very successful Ship'S Band parties held in SASEBO, japan. These two parries were entirely conducted by the members of the Ship's Band and had nothing to do with regular Ship's Parties. The parties were held at two different Cabarets in SASEBO and proved very successful, Two main attractions at the parties were hostesses and Budweiser . The Captain, Executive Officer and some other ofhcers attended both parties. The average number of persons attending each party was one hundred. Most of the instruments in the band are owned by its members. The Recreation Committee allotted S100 for the purchase of instruments, but only S50 was used for the purchase of a trombone and a set of cymbals. The band, for a long time was short of one trumpet, forcing WHlT', DAVIS to double up on his clarinet. In LISBON, Portugal IOHN CAR- VIN bought a Eb Cornet which enabled the band to have the full strength of three trumpets. The band is not at present, or never was, the Best . Only one member, IOHN CARVIN, can be said to be a professional musician. The others are strictly amateurs. Everyone in the band plays by ear and anyone who understands music atfall can realize that this is quite a difficult task to try and master the melody and harmony in unison. The majority of tunes played by the band are old timers . The band has mastered a few good polkas and a couple of marches. The theme song gif the band is When The Saints Come Marching In, although many people are in doubt as to Whether or not the Saints,' is a good theme song for the KNAPP! 1 !
