Within the Squadron numerous mission areas are addressed. These warfare missions include anti-war warfare, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, amphibi- ous warfare, electronic warfare, command and control, towing and salvage. The Squadron currently numbers nine ships homeported in Long Beach, California. Captain Robert A. Goff, USNR assumed command of Surface Squadron ONE in August 1990. The squadron is under the administrative command of Commander, Naval Surface Group Long Beach and under the operational command of Commander, Third Fleet. COMSURFRON ONE reports for additional duty to Commander, Naval Reserve Force. As an NRF squadron we have the responsibility for the training and readiness of the assigned ships and their crews, both active and Selected Reservists. The Squadron ' s diversification becomes apparent when it is noted that in addition to the numerous warfare missions assigned, COMSURFRON ONE is responsible for three different types of ships: FFG ' s (Guided Missile Frigates), LST ' s (Landing Ship Tank) and an ARS (Rescue and Salvage Ship). The mix of personnel on board each ship is approximately 72 percent active and 28 percent selected reserve. Each ship functions as a fully participat- ing member of all fleet operations. They provide services and support to other units of the active fleet. These include Battle Group operations; anti-submarine exercises. Coast Guard law enforcement operations, CNO special projects, amphibious troop and cargo lifts and fleet towing and salvage. Surface Squadron ONE ' s involvement as a participant in national policy and naval operations in recent years is impressive. For example, two squadron ships deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1988 and four more deployed to WESTPAC in 1989. Additionally, upon relieving in August, the Squadron Commander and staff embarked in the flagships USS TEXAS (CGN-39) and USS LONG BEACH (CGN-9) for duty as the Task Unit Commander during Enhanced Counter-Narcotics Operations off the coast of Central and South America. The Naval Reserve Force Squadron Staff and its assigned ships is fully committed to the training and readiness of dedicated selected reservists. SURFACE SQUADRON ONE COMMANDS USS LEWIS B.

Her primary missions are harbor and coastal salvage and long-distance open ocean towing. She is assigned a full complement of divers, and can support air diving operations to a depth of 190 feet of sea water using either MK 12 or the new MK 21 Surface Supported Diving Systems. She has an onboard recompression chamber for treatment of stricken divers and for conduct of surface decompression dives. BOLSTER carries a full package of portable salvage equipment, including high-capacity water pumps, generators, compressors, and underwater welding equipment. She also carries two 50- ton capacity hydraulic cable pullers and four specialized anchors to assist in refloating grounded vessels. Coupled with her installed deck equipment, all these items give BOLSTER enormous flexibility and the ability to accomplish a wide variety of heavy salvage tasks. Her 100,000-pound capacity automatic towing winch allows her to perform double duty as a towing vessel, and she is often called upon to transfer decommissioned Naval units to their final resting places. BOLSTER ' S long and illustrious carrer has included participation in campaigns during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. In Vietnam, she operated in the vicinity of Da Nang, earning the Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Citation. In December 1982, BOLSTER made diving history by conducting the first working dive of the MK. 12 mixed-gas (He02) rig while salvaging an F-4 aircraft in 210 feet of sea water outside Subic Bay, In June 1983, she transferred to the Naval Reserve Force and moved to Long Beach from her original home port of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Although her primary mission is now training of her Selected Reserve force, she has continued to support vital Third Fleet Operations by successfully completing well over 20,000 miles of open ocean towing since 1987, in addition to numerous salvage evolutions. Along the way she has earned both the COMNAVSURFPAC Self-Sufficient Ship Award and the CNO Surface Ship Safety Award for salvage vessels. 19 Lieutenant Commander William T.

On 17 September, in heavy weather, the ex-USS JOHN PAUL JONES began taking water through the rudder posts while under tow by BOLSTER. A team was dispatched to the tow via workboat to investigate and combat the flooding. While the team attempted to halt the leak, the workboat headed back to BOLSTER to pick up food, water, and other supplies. Building seas prevented the boat crew from passing the provisions on the ex-JPJ, however, and the boat was forced to return to BOLSTER. Despite losing one engine along the way, the coxswain maneuvered the boat into position for recovery. The release hooks were connected, but before the boat could be hoisted out of the water, it dipped suddenly into a wave trough. The resulting strain on the boat davit caused a wire on the davit drum to part. The crew tripped the release hooks, and the boat was set adrift in 12-15 foot swells. When the coxswain was unable to start either engine, BOLSTER began a slow turn to starboard to remain close to the boat. After several minutes adrift, the boat crew was able to start one engine, and the coxswain was ordered along bolster ' s port quarter to facilitate recovery with her aft boom and two ton hook. All hands pitched in and, with the ship taking 15-20 degree rolls, the workboat was hoisted aboard and secured on the fantail. Due to continued high seas, BOLSTER was unable to provide the repair party on the ex-JPJ with food or water for three days. Despite minimum provisions, they continued pumping and patching efforts and saved the tow. The following crewmembers were awarded the Navy Achievement Medal for their courage and perseverance: ENCS (SW) (MDV) C. M. Ellis, MMC (DV) R. W. Mallet, HTl R. W. Tracy, ENl D. C. Griffin, and ICFN J. S. Buxman. 30 AT LEFT AND BELOW, HEAVY FOLLOWING SEAS CAUSE THE EX-USS JOHN PAUL JONES TO YAW WILDLY. T RIGHT, THE DECK CREW RENEWS THE SHRED- DED CHAFING GEAR.

She is the second ship of the fleet to bear the name. The RACINE was built by National Shipbuilding Company of San Diego. Her keel was laid 13 December 1969 and she was launched on 15 August 1970 under the sponsorship of Mrs. Edwin B. Hooper, wife of Vice Admiral Hooper, Director of Naval History. The USS RACINE was commissioned on 9 July 1971 at Long Beach, California, with Rear Admiral Horace V. Bird officiating. The primary mission of RACINE is to land tanks, vehicles and other heavy equipment directly on a hostile beach during an amphibious assault. There are two methods of amphibious landings; one over the bow, the other from the stern. The over the bow method is the reason for the huge derrick arms extending some 90 feet beyond the bow. The derrick ' s arms hold a bow ramp over which up to a 60 ton tank may be driven directly onto the beach or onto a floating causeway. Amphibian vehicles may off load directly from the stern while the ship is still underway through the use of a stern gate. The ship is also designed with a helicopter deck so that she can participate in vertical envelopment amphibious operations. RACINE is 8,000 tons and able to steam in excess of 20 knots for an Indefinite period of time. Maneuvering such a large ship in on a beach would be an impossible task without assistance. To give assistance, a bow thruster is added. This is a separate variable pitch propeller mounted on the forward part of the hull. Using the bow thruster, the conning officer is able to move the ship laterally through the water; ' sport car handling for a limousine. ' The RACINE conducted five deployments to the Western Pacific in its first ten years of commissioned service, which included service during the Viet Nam War. In January 1981 the RACINE was assigned to the Naval Reserve Force. The mission of the Naval Reserve Force is to provide trained units and qualified personnel available in time of war or emergency. In order to accomplish this mission, the ship is composed of sixty percent full time active duty personnel and fo rty percent reservists who train one weekend a month a two weeks of active duty each year to maintain their proficiency in amphibious warfare. RACINE has been assigned to Surface Squadron ONE, homeported in Long Beach, California since 15 January 1981.

SOUTHERN CAL The USS RACINE is a very versatile ship, capable of performing the unique operations of the Gator Navy. Some good examples of these unique operations are, Bow Ramp Ops, in which the ship ' s bow splits open and a giant ramp is Shot out giving the ship an extra 110 feet of length allowing her to beach herself for the rapid offload onload of Marine vehicles, or for allowing her to merge with causeways and become a link in a long floating bridge. The RACINE has three different troop and equipment landing operation capabilities. Amphibious Assault Vehicles can be launched and recovered from the ship ' s lowered stern gate. The ship carries four small boats, three LVTs and an LCPL, which when launched from her two boat davits can be loaded with troops and equipment. The RACINE can also debark troops and equipment via helicopter. As you can see the RACINE is a can do ship which it has proven time and time again. ON LOADING EQUIPMENT INTO LCU.

Born: August 26,1953 Departed: March 28,1991 Paul, it seems like only yesterday that we all received the fateful news of your passing. All of us were shocked that such a great friend and shipmate could die so young. You have left us a precious gift though, a gift of wonderful memories. Memories of when we were in Tijuana when you volun- teered to do the bargaining for those cheap blankets, and that real imitation Rolex watch that you bought. We also had a wild and crazy time in San Francisco. Chinatown will never be the same without you. For the new shipmates who never got the honor of meeting you, I just tell them that Paul Maloney was a 4.0 sailor who worked hard and played hard. Paul you were always the life of the party, the guy everyone wanted to be around. Your fellow shipmates and I salute you and are proud to say you were our friend. Don ' t worry about Mitzi and the kids, they are doing fine. 219 SAN FRANCISCO GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE H T 1.1 fl The RACINE pulled into San Francisco in February 1991, for one week of a training avalability. RACINE crew members went to General Firefighting School and CBR School. The whole crew enjoyed the San Francisco treats, China Town, Fisherman ' s Wharf and Alcatraz.

Who on the USS RACINE {LST-1191) NRF would have thought these would be among the memories brought back from a tropical cruise to the South Pacific? As Racine departed Long Beach on June 25, 1991 her crew expected to perform their normal missions. Two months and twelve thousand miles later it would be the unusual missions they were called upon to do that they would remember. Pohnpei Island, a member state of the Federated States of Micronesia (F.S.M.), was to host the 22nd South Pacific Forum. The forum is a meeting of Pacific island nations to discuss issues affecting their countries. Fifteen countries, among them the F.S.M., Australia, New Zealand, and Tonga, had committed to sending delegates. The United States had promised to assist the F.S.M. by providing facilities for the media and other persons supporting the forum. This assistance came in the form of the USS RACINE. First stop was Pearl Harbor in time for the Fourth of July. A detachment of Marines from 3rd Battalion, 1st Division embarked for transportation to Guam. On arrival in Guam the Marines went ashore for jungle training and Seabees and a medical dental team took their place. The Seabees, a Civic Action Team (CAT) from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Four based in Okinawa, would provide skills and material for several Humanitarian Civic Assistance Projects on the island. The medical dental team would provide support for the island ' s medical facilities. After a pierside welcome from F.S.M. Government delegates and the American Ambassador Aurelia Brazeal everyone got busy. The Racine ' s first task was to turn into the Four-Star Hotel Racine . Accommodations were provided for over seventy members of the media that had come to cover the Forum. The reporters stayed in the troop berthing normally used for carrying Marines and were provided meals onboard. The Seabees split into three teams with each team being supported by six to ten Racine crewmembers. One of the teams restored portions of the Historic Spanish Wall first built by the Spanish in the 19th century. Parts of the wall had been missing since World War Two. Another team provided much needed repairs and preservation to the Pohnpei State Hospital. Many times they were working in the same rooms were patients were being treated. A Utilityman and a Racine Engineman were able to hookup a new boiler for the hospital. The third team added two new rooms to a local school. During their breaks they discovered the Pohnpean students could play a mean game of volleyball. The medical dental team consisting of a physician, two dentists, two dental technicians, and two hospital corpsman traveled to several hamlets on the island. With limited supplies and working in buildings with no electricity, the team treated the locals for a variety of ailments. Often times a flashlight was the only source of light. Another two man dental team spent a week with the Pohnpei hospital dental staff sharing knowledge and skills of dentistry. Racine off-loaded 98 pallets of Project Handclasp material. Sixty-three pallets were educational books for the Department of Education to distribute among thirty-one schools. More than 8,000 pounds of animal feed was presented to the Pohnpei Poultry Association to supplement its feed supply. Several pallets of me dical and hygiene supplies were delivered to the hospital. Only a third of the Racine ' s crew could be on liberty at any time to avoid overwhelming the island ' s facilities. Shopping for woodcarvings, snorkeling, diving, and visiting the waterfalls were popular pastimes. Viewing the ruins of Nan Modal provided an insight into the island ' s history. The 13th century buildings were made of stone logs weighing several tons on man-made islands. After the Forum concluded, Racine returned to Pearl Harbor. There she shifted from goodwill ambassador to amphibious warrior. Operation Barracuda, conducted with the Marines from 3rd Battalion, 1st Division, was a three day exercise to provide training in surgical strike techniques. For the first two days Marines in Combat Rubber Raiding Crafts (CRRC ' s) and helicopters practiced attacking enemy communication and supply sites. The General of the 3rd Marine Battalion flew out to observe part of the exercise. The final attack, launched at dawn, was an outstanding success due to the excellent coordination and preparation. During the exercise Racine crewmembers safely performed sterngate operations, over two hundred Deck Landing Qualifications with helicopters, and close to shore navigation. During the transit back to Long Beach the Racine had more guests onboard. Seven Tigers, family members of the crew, were able to observe, and take part in, the daily routine aboard a naval vessel. Some of the many activities observed included a gun shot, a General Quarters, and Engineering drills. Through the deployment Racine was augmented by 156 Selected Reservists (SELRES). Most came for one of several periods approximately two weeks long. Thirty SELRES were onboard for a month or longer. Forty-six came from Racine ' s own SELRES crew permanently assigned to the Racine. The others came from all parts of the country including Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, Arizona, Washington, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Florida, Vermont, Utah, Wisconsin, and California. The SELRES were completely incorporated into the ship ' s company. They provided a solid base of experienced performers to assist the Racine in fulfilling her mission to Pohnpei. Among the many tasks accomplished by the SELRES were filling in as a division officer and assistant department heads, divisional LCPO ' s and LPO ' s, stood watches, conducted training for SELRES and Regular Navy personnel, and provided administrative support. As the USS RACINE pulled into Long Beach her crew knew they had successfully performed every task they were called upon to do and did it as a One Navy ship. 223 Play Ball Says HMCM MORRIS Ship Tours A Full Day Evolution This Bud s For You Chief Where Do I Put The Firemain Bring On The Dancing Girls 224 V k .i THE AMBASSADOR DIVE Field Trip Constructing School 225 RACINE found its way to a little island called Pohnpei. During her visit, the crew offloaded over 100 pallets of Project Handclasp material including books, medical supplies and construction material, all of which was donated to local schools, the hospi- tal and various civic organizations. Besides, being a floating hotel for many diplomats and reporters, plus giving numerous tours RACINE crew members and an embarked CB Unit found time to help the local community by building a room addition for a local school, rebuilding a local historical land mark (the Spanish Wall), and held refurbishing the island ' s only hospital.
