The Marines ashore sloshed for twelve days through waterlogged roads and fields and in- numerable vehicles became stuck in huge mud holes and had to be pulled out. The first sneak attack exercises were held and LA SALLE was one of several ships in the squadron which were sunk by the enemy UDT swimmers. And, of course, on 16 January, LA SALLE 's own Super Squids hit Blue Beach with great success ifor those who like Bud- weiserj. LVTs in Wave 1 moving down the assault lane.

After conducting a conventional landing in the inky darkness of early morning, two additional landings were conducted over the horizon . While the transport vessels waited ten miles off shore, the waves steamed in to the beach under the watchful eye of LA SA'LLE's helo. In addition, LA SALLE successfully conducted an experimental underway launch of LVT's at varying speeds. All operations were extremely successful. At the completion of this last exer cise LA SALLE made for Athens but with 300 guests. Marines from the CAMBRIA rode Sally to Athens since their ship had made port several days before for repairs. 1 ?

Their guide was SFP3 Torrid Thompson who also led YN3 Wicked White, EN3 Jolly Johnson and EN3 Lantern Lewis in one of the strangest amphibious assaults ever recorded. The weapons section was led by GMG2 Caliber Camp with SN Chuckles Coleman, SN Rosey Rhodes and TN Lax Lawson carrying the load. The other infamous but lovable characters in the exercise were: SA Corney Connell DCFA Tuff Turney SN Chiller Clark SN Horrible Holt SN R99-dy Reid AN Mountains Mackaluso AN Willow Watkins RDSA Weasel Wagner SA Slippery Sullivan SN Lucky Le Baron TN Loud Ladera HM3 Windy Westbrook Due to continual bad weather, the major assault exercise and Navy landing party functions were postponed, to the deep chagrin of all. A holiday was declared and beer was issued to each man to console him in this time of sorrow. Following a stormy night, the Super Squids Ctheir own name for themselvesj were the first up and packed in true Navy tradition. Of course, the Marines broke their tent for them, but you can't expect a squid to do land lovers work. Following a more direct route to the beach, they slipped and slid over rocky slopes toward home and ar- rived back only 36 hours after departing. Our thanks especially goes to SGT Baker, G Company who pushed, prodded, and taught the squids how to survive on one quart of beer a day while fighting the rain and mud of Sardinia. ENS. W. V. ARNETH Through the mud and rain they came, all 46 of them Cin- cluding the RUSHMORE personnelb marching like waddling ducks over hill and dale. Nothing could stop them Cbut the two mile walk nearly killed themj, Upon reaching the Marine Administrative Camp the LA SALLE and RUSH- MORE landing party became a legend, A strange cross between Hogan's Heroes and McHale's Navy, the Argonian Misfits Cas they came to be knownj were real men. They trooped straight through Golf Co. Headquarters and were greeted with the usual friendly Marine jeers of Good Morning and Welcome! But never feeling jolted, they soon acquired the largest and muddiest tent in the camp, however, shrewd Navy Men that they are, theyalso req- uisitioned a tarpaulin for the muddy deck and the Tent Hilton was established. , - . ., , ,V . - -1 , - 4.

GCDMMLMWHDUKE QDFFHGER Captain J. E. Hansen assumed command of the USS LA SALLE on 21 January 1969 followinga tour as Force Operations Officer on the Staff of Com- mander Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. His command ability, high standards of excellence and exceptional conning talents have greatly en- hanced LA SALLE's readiness capability. Remem- bered by his men for his frequent announcements over the 1MC, he constantly looked out for the crew's Welfare, and developed a higher 'esprit de CO1'pS On LA SALLE. Because of Captain.Hansen's devotion to duty and desire to have an outstanding ship, LA SALLE never missed a commitment during the past year.

We occasionally ran a three ring circus simultaneously, with Garris dropping the anchor, Hussey low- ering boats with the crane, and Leytrick rigging the ,accommodation ladder. Our deck seamen stood the long, dreary, and thankless lookout watches, Whaleboat watcheshhelm, lee helm, messenger and Boatswain Mate Watches. The cruise engraved a variety of mem- ories on the minds of each of us. Not one will ever forget the whaleboat incident, the sad departure of our Division Officer and the Memorial Service. Another memory is the hard driving rain on D-Day morning at Lovo Santo. Thor- oughly s o ake d by the time we had dropped the anchor, We started lowering the boats when the crane, shorted out by the rain, sent sparks flying. Sea 8a Anchor Detail FIRST DIVISIGN LTJG S. P.

Schoening For BM3 Birnbaum, SN R., Shoemaker, SN Blackwell, SN Collier, SN Damewood, SA Bearden, and LTJG Grant, the high point of the landings was the day we took the Mike boats for an assist beaching exercise and ended up spending the night on the beach at Porto Scudo. C-rats, standing 1 hour boat and fire watches through the night, and sleeping in a drizzling rain snuggling close to our rubber tire-boat fender fire climaxed the campout. Birnbaum's Mike boat gave out on one occasion and started drifting on the rocks, but Damewood made the rescue. Another highlight was the day the Commodore 's Gig went adrift and BM3 Chase and SN Brinson towed it back through heavy swells.

We spent a good portion of our five month deployment in the confines of our well deck. Always a dangerous assignment, 2nd Division seems to handle the job with real skill. When we weren't handling boats in the well, other things seemed to pop up with little warning. Refueling and highlining were a big part of the cruise. Sometimes we were lucky enough to have our Marine friends pitch in and give us a hand, but this wasn't always the case. ' Only a handful of the division were trained enough for this deployment, but when it was over, every man could truly be called a fine sailor. In addition, the division has a fine record while on liberty, which most of us en- joyed as much as possible. Now we're back in our homeland and the men are trying their best to acquaint themselves with what must seem like a foreign port. But as usual, we're very confident that 2nd Divi- sion will succeed without many complications . BMC W, Davis Ensign J.B, Watkins Second Division Officer BMSN J , Langenbach BM3 A, LoPresti AN R.

Gunner's Mates are responsible for the oper- ation and maintenance of LA SALLE's guns, which are many. They range from the large 3 50 cal. gun mounts to the small 45 cal. pistols. However large or small they may be, all must be ready to go into action at a mo- ments notice Fire Control Technicians are responsible for the operation and maintenance of LA SALLE's gunnery radar and computer guidance systems that feed electrical information which auto matically tells the mount where to shoot in order to hit the target A During MED 3 69 LA SALLE's guns fired over 1500 rounds of three inch ammo at nu- merous targets ranging from airplane towed sleeves at Malta to the hillsides of Navp1iO1'1, Greece. Under the direction of Rest1eSS Guns Barry and Gun Repair Reid, LA SALLE's guns had their best day off Malta, shooting up 3 aircraft-towed sleeves. We spent many hours before and after General Quarters keeping everything in working or- der, but all was not work. Third Division also saw her share of well-earned liberty in the MED.

A DIVISION A Division distinguished itself throughout MED 3-69 in helping to maintain LA SALLE as a fight- ing ship. Through many cold and rainy nights the men of A gang worked around the clock to keep our assault craft in operation. We experienced' many crises during the cruise, among the most memorable being the time when the stern gate was stuck in the down position iblunder to the Supply Dept. for not having any hydraulic oil on ENC E. K. Burkett boardl, and the fateful GQ casualty drill when the ship was stuck with 350 right rudder on, steaming in tight circles around the island of Malta. A Division on LA SALLE is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all shipboard aux- iliary machinery. Our machinery varies from the anchor windlass to after steering in location and from the B St A Crane to the galley meat slicers in kind. A Division also operates the machine shop where we manufacture everything from stern gate dogs for the deck apes to ma- chine gun parts for the grunts . Our' Motto: lf we can't fix it, it ain't broken.

The main propulsion steam is provided by B Di- vision to keep the ship underway, and for the generators that provide our lights. Auxiliary steam gives us heat, hot food and shower service. We seldom get any recognition as we work where no one else but a snipe would dare be seen. Our hours are sometimes long and the work always hardg but this is just another job and we all know it has to be done. B Division also handles NSFO which runs hand in hand with our providing steam. No oil, no fire, and consequently, no steam, and without B Division the ship would be at a loss for many of life's conveniences. We have two boilers to tend and fire sides aren't a bed of roses, as any snipe can tell you. We do our Work and keep the LA SALLE on the go. W w E v X . .

Responsibilityis another major fac- tor in the operation of an efficient division. This too is a part of E Division. The EM's are responsible, not only for the correct and proper operation of all electrical equipment, but also for keep- ing all gear SAFE to operate.Needless to say, LA SALLE Elec- tricians are on top of their responsibilities. Steering, communication, anchor handling gear, lighting, ventila- tion, and portable tools, which we all use, are constant companions for the electrician. A constant supply of electrical power, dis- tributed throughout the ship from the four Ship Service Turbo- generators and switchboards, is another service to the ship, During an emergency situation, electricians will be found supply- ing emergency electrical power and manning all repair parties. Casualty power is also rigged and connected by the repair party Sparky , Many extra hours are spent working while underway, and when finally in port work goes well beyond liberty call. Med lights are a must and are handled efficiently. time after time to show that this is a United States vessel, on a mission of good will, Communications, shipboard and outside, and gyro compasses are the responsibility of the I, C, Electricians. The good sounds over the ship's entertainment speakers, and your daily movie ration, are brought to you by the I, C, men with loving care. Small boats and fork lifttrucks are alsoa major responsibility for E Division. Our Electricians in the Battery shop usually have their hands full of Bos'n Mates, I mean, trouble calls, The extra boats we have on board, during our Med deployment. meant extra duty and many extra hours for the battery gang. EM's had their share of trouble calls and emergency jobs throughout Med 3-69, but they have always worked as a team with dedication. This factor alone helped them get the job finished Fight. Any Well dones given to E Division were well deserved, .both for the quality and quantity of work accomplished. It was a long, tiring cruise, but finally it was LA SALLE's turn at Pier W7 NOB, and liberty calls resounded,but LA SALLE's Elec- tricians were, as usual, working late rigging shore power. The best Dart Of any cruise for E Division is when the 1 MC pipes UP, THERE WILL BE A TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POW- ER, WHILE SHIFTING FROM SHIP'S POWER TO SHORE POWER.

We control a great deal of the ship's vital functions such as the fresh water supply that is consumed daily from our two evaporators, maintain and operate the LA SALLE's turbo-generators, control the flow of steam t th ' - o e main en gines from orders from the Bridge, and supplyneeded steam t th ' o e laundry, and other parts of the ship. Most of our re- pair work pertains to the pumps, and related machi ' nery in our spaces which are vital to the ship's engines. During the cruise, LA SALLE consumed 1 980 393 gallons of boiler feedwater and 5,566,345 gallons of fresh wat er. M Division produced it. Our hours are long and hard and M Division like to play hard also. We work together as a team, since most of our repair work and engineering functions require team work to get a job done right. The main engines on the LA SALLE are our babies, and it takes a high caliber of men to See that they are running, and to operate the complex machinery in our engine rooms.

AVN' as ' Sf N f P Carpenter's Shop - DCFN Miller and DC2 Dolan R Division is broken up into two different shops working together as a team to act as the main repair group aboard the LA SALLE, The DC shop maintains the firefighting gear, does all the carpenter work and maintains various piping and ballasting systems. The shipfitter shop is responsible for the welding and brazing and other various jobs that in- volve metal, pipes, and plumbing. Together, these shops make up the main firefighting force, ballast team, and ship- board damage control training force. LA SALLE's 69 Med deployment started out by giving R Division its usual preparational headaches. Being the main repair division, they had to be fully prepared and in an ex- cellent state of readiness, a goal that was completed wh en the infamous cry of shift colors was passed. The ship- f'tt h 1 er s op was replenished with FA Petit, complemented by .DC2 Dolan and DC3 Cushing joining the forces of the DC shop. The trip over proved to be a rocking and rolling affair keep- ing both shops busy and in great demand for the many re- pair Jobs caused by the rough seas.

Our leading petty offi- cer is ABH1 Underwood. While deployed on the Med cruise we em- barked a UH-2A helicopter, from HC-4, homeported at NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey. All operational commitments could not have been met without the outstanding performance of the helo crew and the two pilots, LT Foss, and LT Peterson. Upon visiting some ofthe choice ports in the Med all hands can truthfully state that they had a good time, but there is no place like good ol' USA, Of primary interest on the homefront, AN Kueb1er's wife gave birth to a baby girl. 011 transferring of men during the Med de- ployment we lost AN Schuchardt to Aviation Metalsmith School in Tennessee. AN Lopez was transferred to the Naval Hospital in Rota for a knee operation. At last report he was doing fine. Departing the ship for CivLant were AN Love, AN Nesbit, and ADRAN Shoupe. During our slack time on the cruise a couple of new faces appeared on the flight deck, compliments of AN Gregoire and LTJ G Smith. Namely our Tilly Gator and our fuel in- jected f?y Road Runner . Our work time consisted of busying ourselves on the Flight Deck, we launched the helo for fr e que nt mail runs, personnel transfers, medevacs, other various emergency evolu- tions, and the Holy helo for transferring the two chaplains for divine services on other ships and for marines training on the beach. Replenishment of stores and supplies,uti1iz- ing CH-46D helicopters from the USS CON- CORD and the USS SYLVANIA, was accom- plished largely through the efficient direc- tion of the Air Department personnel. Although the Med deployment proved to be interesting and enjoyable, no single event that took place during the cruise could match the excitement when the word ShiftColors was passed upon our return to Norfolk. i sf Jun, ,, , , - ,, M: int, ,,.., ..,v,,-,x .MIN V--ik,-,f-,Q3-3,1-ff-f-ML, ,nga QL.

The men standing three sec- tion watches, message traffic just slightly above normal, and all communications sys- tems go. Then that proverbial something hit the fan. Seas...rough, traffic load...sky high, Comm systems...EMCON. Soon the dreaded Words were heard above the deafening noise of HI-Comm, CW and teletypes... port and star- board . Months later, a highly professional team of communicators slipped back into three section watches as the LA SALLE made the stretch run to our homeport, Norfolk. Although we in truth cannot look back upon our five months in the Med with extreme pleasure, we can look back with pride in our accomplish- ments and the knowledge that there is no bet- ter C omm gang in the Gators . The com- municators of the LA SALLE carried outtheir mission...superbly. Rivics F, O'Dea, RMC L. Phillips, RMC S. Sayas, BMC A- Tippins ' . . ' 11 RMSN W. RMI D. McLaughlin, RMS J.

Supplying the needs of a ship the size of LA SALLE is a continuous and tedious job. To show how busy S-1 Division Was during our Med- iterranean Deployment, the storekeepers issued 2,890 cans of scouring powder, 63 pails of wax, 337 swabs, 201 brooms and 574 sponges. Also, 636 pens, 396 pencils, 2,034 packages of paper were issued to the various offices. For morale purposes, 5,160 rolls of toilet paper were issued. In addition to supplying the parts and material vital in the operation of LA SALLE, the storekeepers were called on to furnish, from LA SALLE 's stock, parts to ships in company. The aforementioned barely scratches the surface of what is done by your S-1 Division. H SK1 D, Hopper, SK3 B, Bartz, SK2 D. Brown SKC G- W- Blackwell SN W.

Tons of pota- toes tthat's a lot of peelingl, an ocean of coffee, thousands of eggs, and much, much more were served up by LA SALLE's cooks to an always hungry crew. We had picnics on the flight deck, special holiday feasts, and allrnight mid-rats for channel fever suffer- ers. Rough Weather taught the Marines how to eat soup during 20 degree rolls while the bakers wondered Why all the cake was in one side of the pan. Working in two shifts and aided by Marine cooks, We served three meals a day every day -there's no holiday routine for cooks. I never thought we'd serve this.

North Layet Sallese Recently captured onboard LA SALLE was this photo of some of the world's most important North Layet Sallese. From left to right, up, down and across they are as follows: Gily Gily Serrano - field cook for the Ward- roomese dynasty, Gily Gily got his name from the battle of Gily-Gily fought not far from Pork Chop Hill. Al Capone Albano - perpetrator of a thousand hilariums, he is seen in the photo fingering his favorite revolutionary instrument, the harmonium harps ichord. Ritty Ritualo - noted for a first name resembling the firing of a ma- chine gun, Ritty has distinguished himself as a corny breakout man. Center front is Moustache Medina - international playboy and front man for various North Layet Sallese organizations including the dreaded Pineapple Panthers. Cen- ter back is A. C. Aceveda - better known as Ace , this desperado has distinguished himself by remarking, l regret that I only have five million four hundred and fifty thousand hairs to give to my country. Wearing the White stove- pipe hat With W. R. Mess insignia is W. R. Mess himself, who goes under the codename of Sad- sarin. Rumored to have a recipe for world rev- olution W. R. is as closely watched as, say, steak on a hot tin grill. Villa Valencia, next right, speaks several languages and is thought to be the real 'brains' of the outfit although he denies this claiming he prefers 'rice' instead. And finally, in the corner is Romeo Romero who has probably cooked more gooses than any man alive. Not shown in the photo is leader of the N.L.S., Ho Chief Driver. Chopped brains tonight.

Four men left and two new men came on board before our return to Norfolk. The men managed to keep busy both before and dur- ing the deployment. Before leaving Norfolk about 1,000 charts Qmany in duplicateb and 200 navigational publications had to be checked to be sure that they were the latest editions and were in good condition. A large supply of logs and forms had to be on board and ready for use. Navigational instruments also had to be in good repair. During the cruise LA SALLE entered 14 different ports, some several times. She dropped anchor 48 times, went to special sea and anchor detail 106 times and highline or replenishment detail 26 times. LA SALLE was underway over 1,480 hours while steaming over 15,561 nautical miles Qthat is about 16,895 land milesb. Over 150 charts and maps were used which if put end to end would extend about 600 feet. The ships position was determined more than 7,170 times by taking more than 25,000 visual bear- ings and radar ranges, 560 loran readings and 302 celestial sights.
