' « U ?c v PAcim OCEAS Seoltl e % R Sa M KoMci tea tion During the period covered by this book, LANSING ' S primary assignment has been as a Navigation Air Search and Rescue Ship for U.S. Naval Aircraft patroll- ing the Pacific Radar Early Warning Barrier. Our secondary mission has been the detection and reporting of air contacts discovered by our radars. In perform- ing these functions, we operated under the control of the Commander Barrier Force Pacific on what were called Barrier Patrols. Barrier Patrols or Pickets, as they were nicknamed, usually lasted about 24 days, port to port. Very few other types of naval vessel spend that long a time at sea without seeing land. Only those who have actually made DER pickets out of Pearl Harbor can fully appreciate what they were like. Our stations were off the Aleutians. Our fuel capacity was such that consistently bad weather on sta- tion, as was usually the case in the winter months, left us barely enough fuel to get back to port. Securing water for washing and eating off paper plates to con- serve water due to fuel shortages was often compulsory. With the boiler secured during the night to save fuel there was no steam for heat to the berthing spaces or coffee for the mid and morning watches. It was frequently necessary to lie to in disagreeable weather where continual rolls of 25-30 degrees were the accepted way of life. Salt water on the decks inside the ship due to cracks in the hull from rough weather was often encountered. The monotony of our long periods at sea had to be experienced to get the full impact of DER duty. The time between patrols, or Inports as we called them, averaged out about 23 days. Of this, 5 days were normally spent underway off Pearl Harbor conduct- ing destroyer type exercises, such as gunnery shoots, chasing submarines, engi- neering drills, underway replenishments, or CIC exercises. The rest of the In- port was required to get the ship ready for the next Picket or cope with numerous inspections. Unlike the Submarine Force, where they have two complete crews for their Polaris submarines employed on similar duty, everything had to be done by one crew. Often liberty had to be curtailed to meet the many demands. The In- port was invariably spent in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and, although there is much to be said for Hawaii, our schedule didn ' t allow much opportunity to Join the Navy and See the World. Under these conditions, you all produced superior results and proved beyond a doubt that you are sailors. You met every challenge and we made every commit- ment. We can all look back upon our tour in LANSING with a sense of pride and feeling of accomplishment. With the above thoughts in mind, this book is proudly dedicated to the Ship ' s Company, USS LANSING (DER 388). R. T. SHULTZ Lieutenant Commander U. S. Navy Commanding Officer iDerSSS 4. HISTORY The USS LANSING commemorates the naval career of William R. LANSING, Aviation Machinist ' s Mate First Class, U.S. Navy. LANSING participated in an aerial flight in a patrol plane in action with Japanese Forces during the Aleutian Islands Campaign in June 1942. Opposed by heavy anti-aircraft fire from ship and shore batteries, LANSING participated in a determined divebombing and strafing attack on Japanese Ships in Kiska Harbor. While manning his exposed and unpro- tected station at the engine controls during an attack on 11 June 1942, he was killed by enemy fire. On 15 May 1942, the keel of a destroyer escort was laid by the Brown Shipbuilding Company, Houston, Texas. During the next 15 months this keel grew into a sleek destroyer escort, and on 2 August, USS LANSING slid down the ways. Commissioning took place on 10 November 1943. 3 December of that year found USS LANSING in Bermuda, for training under the Destroyer Escort Shakedown Group. Upon comple- tion of training, the ship joined the now famous Atlantic Fleet convoy escort force, and participated in numerous crossings. During this time two encounters with the enemy took place - both in the Mediterranean Sea off Oran, Algeria. After VE day, LANSING underwent a lengthy overhaul, then reported to the Pacific Fleet on 1 August 1945. She did not arrive in Pearl Harbor until after VJ day, how- ever, and was therefore sent back to New York, where she arrived in October 1945. The ship operated with the Atlantic Fleet until January 1947 when she was placed in reserve status at Jacksonville, Florida. From June 1952 until June 1954, LANSING donned a coat of white paint and served as a unit of the United States Coast Guard. Early in 1956, LANSING entered the shipyard and work began on converting her for her new mission - that of a Radar Picket Escort Vessel. The conversion included extensive modification of both hull and equipment, with the result that she no longer bore much resemblance to her former destroyer escort silhouette. The latest elec- tronics equipment was installed, and modernization of the entire ship took place. To compensate for the long and dreary hours ahead on the North Pacific Barrier, every effort was made to provide for more comfort and recreational facilities for the crew. In 1956, LCDR G. N. DE BUER, USN, assumed command and the ship was recom- missioned. LANSING has been home ported in Pearl Harbor ever since, and in 1958, under command of LCDR E. D. FLORY , USN, served with Joint Task Force SEVEN, participating in the Atomic Tests at Eniwatok and Johnson Island. In 1960, when former President EISENHOWER made a trip to the Far East, LANSING, then under command of LCDR E. W. OSTLUND, USN, served as a life guard vessel for the Pacific crossing. BEFORE CONVERSION In July 1961, LCDR D. J. KREJCAREK, USN relieved LCDR OSTLUND as Com- manding Officer, and in November and December the ship journeyed to the Western Pacific, stopping at Yokosuka, Japan for an interesting change of pace. February 1962 saw LANSING enter Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard for regularly scheduled overhaul. Upon completion in May, the ship underwent refresher training before returning to her normal rotation on the Pacific Barrier late in July. During the Fall of 1962, LANSING again assisted in the nuclear testing program at Johnston Island, this time under the operational control of Joint Task Force 8. As 1962 came to a close, the ship once more readied herself for the North Pacific Barrier. On 9 August 1963 LCDR R. T. SHULTZ, USN relieved CDR KREJCAREK and later the same month LANSING departed for a two and half month deployment to the Nor- thern and Western Pacific with brief stops at Dutch Harbor and Adak, Alaska, enroute to Japan. While passing near Kiska in September a wreath was cast upon the sea in memory of Aviation Machinist ' s Mate William R. LANSING, USN. The ship visited Yokosuka, Japan in late September and early October. While return- ing from the Western Pacific LANSING was called upon for the unusual task of refuel- ing USS GUIDE (MSO 477) while on the high seas between Guam and Midway. Refueling problems were quietly worked out and the thirsty GUIDE received enough fuel to com- plete her journey to Midway. As November came to a close LANSING prepared herself for another picket. Late Christmas Eve LANSING returned from patrol to Pearl Harbor and the year 1963 came to a close. The new year brought quick action from USS LANSING. On 2 January 1964, she was selected by Commander, Hawaiian Sea Frontier to participate in a Search and Rescue mission. LANSING readied herself in 3 short hours and steamed northwest of Oahu where an Air Force C- 124 Globemaster went down with a crew of nine. LANSING had the distinction of being the first surface vessel on the scene and also the last military unit to leave the search 8 days and 2500 search miles later. In February, LANSING went into Ada ' k, Alaska in the middle of a snow storm to drop off a crewmember requiring surgery. In August, the ship crossed the equator and in October, made a call at Johnston Island for fueL Another medical emergency diver- sion to Adak, Alaska occurred in December, with much the same weather as experi- enced during the February trip. LANSING was inport for Christmas and New Years ' Eve, The new year again bi ' ought an early start to sea when LANSING departed Pearl Harbor on 2 January 1965, for her final patrol. During this patrol, the ship again crossed the Equator. The patrol finished the end of January as LANSING returned to Pearl Harbor for her last look at Hawaii. As the book goes to press, the ship is scheduled to depart Pearl Harbor on 16 February 1965, for Bremerton, Washington and decommissioning. The final decom- missioning ceremony is expected to take place 27 May 1965. AFTER CONVERSION ' ISS -iPJtm COMMANDING OFFICER LIEUTENANT COMMANDER ROBERT T. SHULTZ US NAVY Lieutenant Commander SHULTZ was born in Frederiksted, St, Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands. Upon graduation from Coronado High Sciiool, Coronado, Calif- ornia in June 1945 lie enlisted in the Naval Reserve and reported to the U. S. Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, Maryland in July 1945. He entered the U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland in June 1946 as a Fleet Appointee after completing the U. S. Naval Academy Preparatory School, Bainbridge, Maryland. He was commissioned Ensign upon graduation from Annapolis in June 1950 and reported to USS LEYTE (CVA 32) for duty in the Mediterranean and off the coast of Korea. A tour as Gunnery Officer, USS CONY (DDE 508) was followed by assignment as Commanding Officer, USS BRAMBLING (MSC(O) 42) in June 1954. In July 1955 he reported to the Bureau of Ships, Washington, D. C. and subse- quently commanded USS ST. CLAIR COUNTY (LST 1096) in the Pacific from 1957-59. Following a tour as the Amphibious Ship Placement Officer, Officer Distribution Division, Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington, D. C. he com- pleted the Command and Staff Course at the U. S. Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island in June 1962. In July 1962 he reported to USS TAYLOR (DD 468) in Pearl Harbor as Executive Officer before assuming command of LANSING in August 1963. EXECUTIVE OFFICER LIEUTENANT RAY S. HARDY, JR., US NAVY Lieutenant HARDY was born in San Francisco, California in November 1935. After graduation from Wasiiburn High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1953, he spent a year as a Naval Reservist preparing for entrance to the U. S. Naval Academy; he entered the Naval Academy in 1954. In 1958 he graduated from Annapolis, receiving his commission as Ensign, U. S. Navy, and reported for his first tour of duty aboard USS MC DERMUT (DD 677) homeported in San Diego. During the next two years on the destroyer, he served as CIC Officer and Com- munications Officer. Following this, LT HARDY was assigned to Commander Destroyer Division 212, homeported in San Diego, fulfilling a billet of Staff Op- erations Officer from 1960-1962. He then attended the U. S. Naval Post-graduate School in Monterey, California, specializing in operations research. Upon com- pletion of his graduate schooling, he reported aboard LANSING in July 1964, to serve as Executive Officer. LT HARDY will report to USS VANCE (DER 387) as Executive Officer, after LANSING reports to Bremerton, Washington for decom- missioning in February 1965. WARD ROOM 1_ ' Z_j - _ . Left to Right; ENS J.

Here is to those courageous men who spend un- limited hours down in the heart of the ship braving the heat, smell, and deafening roar of the engines. These men are assigned the thankless task of main- taining all main propulsion and auxiliary equipment providing life to the ship. Composed of Enginemen and one Boilerman, this group does an outstanding job supplying the skill and technical knowledge necessary to keep the plant in operating condition. To be even more appreciative of the work these men do, one must consider the age of the equip- ment they sustain. Add to this the difficulty of obtaining the proper repair parts in sufficient quantity and one can understand what problems they face. The ability to jury-rig a piece of gear to suffice the needed thing, along with the ability to stay awak and work long hours are im- perative to the LANSING SNIPES. M 13 •J f ' K ' y yM jj c,.

If ever, one word could be used to describe such an assortment of talent, surely it would have to be VERSATILITY, for theirs is the responsibility of maintaining and repairing the greatest variety of equipment on board. Faced with such an endless task does not deter this small group of skilled men though, as they have so capably proved in the past. Both the quality and quantity of work accomplished by this division has earned for them high praise and gratitude from every other division aboard. 15 r nm L , w ■ 1 1 B. G. BAKER, LTJG, USNR WEAPONS OFHCER WEAPONS DEPARTMENT J. L. HOLLAND, LTJG, USNR FIRST LIEUTENANT P. C. VOGLER, ENS, USNR ASW OFFICER Whether rigging for replenishment at sea, an evolution requiring skill and teamwork, or scrap- ing the hull inport, a dull and tedious job, the men of First Division always have the situation well in hand. They proved their reliability over and over by their outstanding performances during such events as underway replenishment, air drop re- covery, and hi-line transfer. Other than perform- ing these tasks, there is that continuous job of keeping the ship clean and trim and rust-free. Since the LANSING spent so much time at sea and usually under such conditions that it was im- possible to work topside, the men of the deck force had to work extra hard during the inport periods preserving and maintaining the hull. Scraping and painting, which never seems to end, along with such tedious jobs as keeping the anchor, anchor chain and windlass in top con- dition are just a few of their responsibilities. By the skill and efficiency displayed by this group of men, they surely can be regarded as a top- notch bunch of Boatswains Mates. KNEELING (L TO R) : Lopez, A. D., Palm, P. L. , Glcnnon, G.

Technicians all, the STG ' s, FTG ' s, TM ' s and GMG ' s of Fox Division are responsible for the armament of the LANSING, from the 3 50 ' s to the Hedgehogs. All the Ship ' s fire power is maintained in a constant state of readiness and kept looking sharp by this small group of men. The Gunners Mates can usually be found under one of the mounts (asleep?) or in one of the maga- zines , painting, taking temperatures , or con- ducting skilled technical maintenance on the guns. If you are looking for a Sonar Technician, he can be found either in lower sound. Sonar Control, or on the Hedgehog mount fixing, scrubbing, painting, shining brightwork, or maybe having a good bull session. The Fire Control Technicians (with the help of MOTU- 1) maintain an operate the fire control system that controls the guns in action. Last, but surely not least, is our Torpedoman, who is responsible for the torpedoes and depth charges aboard LANSING. When not hard at work on his gear he can be located at the bull session in Sonar. 20 iL ■ m H ■i II V. D. McDANIEL, LTJG, USN OPERATIONS OFFICER D. F.

Functioning as part of the operations depart- ment, this twenty-one man division is charged with keeping command informed and current on the tactical situation. This sizeable task is accomplished through the medium of radar, radio, ECM, weather observa- tions and forecasts. GIG (Gombat Information Center) is the nerve center where this data is accumulated and evaluated. Its mission is the long range detection and reporting of air contacts and to assist command in safe navigation of the ship by tracking all surface con- tacts and taking navigational fixes when near land. One of the toughest and most sensitive jobs aboard ship, belongs to the ET ' s who have the job of keeping the radars, communication gear and all associated equipment in top working order. The gathering and evaluation of weather information is carried out by the Aerology gang. This weather data is dissemin- ated to fleet weather activities and aids in making area forecasts. 01 23 A midst a pile of cancelled Notices, D umped.atop a heap of old Instructions, M eager iiands of Yeomen you ' ll find, in hot pursuit of information.

To fulfill this task, they accomplish such duties as washing the laundry, cooking the chow (which is just like what Mom cooked at home), providing a barber, and maintaining a ship ' s store for the purchase of gedunks and personal items. Ship ' s Servicemen, Commissarymen, and Stewards are assigned tliese duties. Aside from these rates, the division also consists of the Storekeepers, those men responsible for maintaining a constant supply of repair parts and consumable items for each department. Last, but cer- tainly not least, is the Disbursing Clerk, who sees to it that we each receive the pay to which we are entitled.

H. MOORER, USN, CINCPACFLT. Our Destroyer Type Commander has been Rear Admiral M. E. DORNIN, USN, COMCRUDESPAC. In our homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, our Flotilla Command- er has been Captain E, B. HENRY, USN, COMDESFLOT FIVE, with our Commodore be- ing Commander W. F. ZARTMAN, USN, Commander Escort Squadron Five. LANSING is 306 feet long - just a little longer than a football field. Her beam is 36 1 2 feet and the water must be at least 16 feet deep for the sonar dome to clear. When fully loaded, she displaces 1840 tons. She is driven by 4 Fairbanics-Morse Diesel Engines, that develop 6,000 horsepower to turn two propellers at a top speed of about 20 knots. Her fuel tanks hold 100,000 gallons of diesel oil. Fresh water tanks hold 11,000 gallons and the ship ' s distilling plant is capable of making 8,000 gallons of fresh water a day. The ship carries enough food and supplies to remain at sea 90 days. For armament, she carries two 3 50 caliber rapid fire guns for anti-surface and anti-aircraft defense with hedgehogs, torpedoes and depth charges for anti-submarine warfare. To perform her radar picket mission, exten- sive radar and communications equipment is installed. Her economical diesel engines give LANSING a considerably greater cruising endurance than steam driven destroyer types, which coupled with the excellent electronic capability, has resulted in her assignment to a number of unique tasks. 34 IT ' S HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT i. During Wt)4, the LANSING Spent 191 days underway, while steaming 34,538 miles. 2. We spent a total of 28 hours in ports other than Pearl Harbor. 3. Due to operational commitments, scheduled trips to Nawiliwili, Kauai; Lahaina, Maui; Hilo, Hawaii and a proposed trip to Yokosuka, Japan; Hong Kong, B. C. C. ; Guam, and Midway were cancelled. 4. Of the 13 Officers and 140 men aboard for the Captain ' s first patrol in August, 19(33, only 3 Officers and 37 men made the ship ' s last picket in January, 1965. 5. During 1964, 96 men were trans-ferred from the LANSING, while 103 arrived on board. 6. Usage for 1964: a) We burned 766,130 gallons of diesel oil and used 19,272 gallons of lube oil. b) Our evaporators distilled 757,164 gallons of fresh water, and we received 979,061 gallons from the outside, making a total comsumption of water of 1,736,225 gallons. This averages out to approximately 32 gallons of fresh water daily per man. c) We spread 200 gallons of deck gray, 257 gals, of haze gray, 190 gals, of white, 152 gals, of red lead paint and 215 gals, of paint thinner. d) We scrubbed with 336 quarts of liquid detergent, 600 lbs. of borax soap, 1924 boxes of alkaline soap, and 2552 cans of scouring powder. e) We have worn out 100 paint brushes, 60 swabs, 96 brooms, and 80 hand sponges. f) We have used 68 bales of rags (3400 lbs. ) and 124 yards of canvas. g) We have kept the brightwork shining with 342 cans of metal polish. 7. Food consumption for 1964: a) Total money value of the food eaten by the crew $66,323. 16. b) Beef - 19,532 lbs. c) Potatoes - 31,820 lbs. d) Fresh eggs - 7,345 dozen. e) Fresh milk - 7,608 gallons. f) Coffee - 2,160 lbs. g) Sugar - 5,360 lbs. h) Apples - 4,024 lbs. 8. We had to file 27 CASREPS during the year. 9. We spent 67 days alongside the tender. 10. 148 Polywogs were initiated into the royal order of Shellbacks . HOMEWARD BOUND FROM HER LAST PATROL HOMEPORT - PEARL HARBOR Entering Channel Welcome Home Arizona Memorial 36 Land Aho ' ! After a long patrol at sea for twent ' -four or more days, witli no sight of land, the crew was always more than anxious when the Island of Oahu began to appear on the horizon. Picturesque with its high rugged mountain ranges, tall palm trees, and sandy beaches, the Island offered various forms of recreation for the weary sailors. A tour of die Island to discover the many scenic spots it has to offer, always provided an effective and interesting means of re- cuperating from the patrol. During such a trip, one might encounter such attractions as Waimea Falls, located far back up in the mountains . . . 37 Blow Hole , which intermittently shoots forth its spray of ocean water . . . Hanauma Bay, a cove with a shallow reef area, popular to those with an interest in skin diving . . . or one of the many beaches along the coastline, such as Mokapuu Beach, pictured here with Rabbit Island in the background. Returning to the populated side of the Island, and Waikiki, one could wander through the International Market Place . . . 38 or stroll up and down the long strip of beaches belonging to the large hotels along the water front . . . search of nature, in another and more interesting form. For night-time festivities, there was always Hotel Street, with its various clubs, entertainment, choice young damsels, which seemed to be the popular place. ft2 -te ' i 1. 1 ii And when the evening was over, there was our own private taxi service to return those who couldn ' t quite make it alone ! 39 Centered above, amidst the pictures characterizing some of the more subtle weather actually encountered on those NORTHERN PATROLS. arePARALES, SH2, and PROVOST, GMG2.

For the first time in the history of DESTROYER FLOTILLA FIVE, one ship, the USS LANSING, won both the COMMODORE ' S CUP for athletic excellence and the FLOTILLA OLYMPIC FIELD DAY TROPHY in the same year. The LANSING, one of the smallest ships in the squadron, competed against twenty-three other Pearl Harbor destroyers, to become the first ship of its size to win the coveted trophies. To list some of our achievements, we placed first in softball, basketball, pistol shoot- ing, and the 1964 FLOTILLA Olympic Field Day, while taking second in bowling, volleyball, and swimming. The Field Day was won by almost double the points of the closest competi- tor. In the final standings , the LANSING athletes had totaled 322 points compared to 179 points to the second place ship. Since we operated at sea for over half the year, it took double effort on each member ' s part to squeeze a years competition into about five months. The teams overcame this handicap by playing several double headers in softball, football, and basketball, and even one exhausting softball triple header to complete their competitive schedule. Thanks goes to Captain SHULTZ , who took an active interest in all sports; to the var- ious team members, who devoted their time and abilities; and to the rest of the crew, who was backing the teams the entire season.

HENRY, USN, Commander Destroyer Flotilla FIVE on 29 Commodore ZARTMAN, Captain SHULTZ , Ship ' s Company of the LANSING. It is a priv- ilege for me to come aboard today to award the Commodore ' s Cup and Olympic Field Day Tro- phy to this ship. Excellence in athletics is often the hallmark of general excellence in team- work and effective leadership. This is especially true where men must live and work together under stress. The record of the LANSING certainly illustrates my point. It has been a source of pride to me to note your performance at sea and in port. And it has also been a source of satisfaction to me to feel confident that when the LANSING is there the job is well in hand, whe- ther it be on Barrier, Special Ops, or whether it be going into an ARD for repairs. Turning specifically to your performance in winning the Flotilla Athiletic Competition, I am reminded of the story of the first time the United States won the AMERICA Cup, which we still hold after 100 years. This is the yachting cup that America brought back from England in 1851. The rules have changed a little bit since the original race and of course you have read about the 58 races at Newport, Rhode Island, where the attempt to take the cup away from us is made every few years. But the first time America got the cup, it was done by the yacht AMERICA that sailed across the Atlantic to England to enter the race. The race was held by sailing around the Isle of Wight. There must have been at least as many yachts there as there are ships in Destroy- er Flotilla FIVE. The performance of the AMERICA that day was something on the order of the performance of the LANSING in 1964. Queen Victoria came down to watch the race as the yachts started out around tiie island. I guess the course covered at least 100 miles, maybe more. She had her Royal Chamberlain, who was her number one advisor, with her and waited at the finish line for the sailboats to come in. Finally, the first yacht showed up and as time went by they finally identified the yacht as the AMERICA. As time passed and still no other yachts approached, Queen Victoria turned to her Chamberlain and said, Who is coming in sec- ond ? And the Chamberlain said, Madam, there is no second. That is about the way LANSING did in this competition. Captain SHULTZ , I want to congratulate you, your officers, your leading petty officers, and your team captains on an outstanding performance, and I would also like to congratulate each member of the Ship ' s Company. 59 Edgar Bergen and Charley McCarthy Camera shy ??
