Stepping Back... Arrayed for Victory LE YTE GULF History.- Naming the Navy's ninth Ticonderoga Class Cruiser LEYTE GULF commemorates the largest naval battle in modem warfare. Fought between 23 and 26 October 1944 in the Philippines, this battle virtually ending the Japanese N avy's capacity to fight as an organized force The battle marked the end of centuries of naval warfare tradition in that is was the last sea battle between forces employing battleships. lt also marked he last time surface ships employed the classic maneuver of Crossing the T when the Japanese ships attempted to enter the gulf through the Surgao Strait early on 23 October. The battle showcased three separate, major engagements. The Battle of Suri gao Straits, The Battle of Samar Island, and The Battle of Cape Engano. Called the last of the great sea battles, the Battle of Leyte Gulf used every known weapon of naval war, except mines, and in terms of sheer destruction, the battle has no rival in naval history. The battle was noteworthy in another sense, in that it saw the lst kamikaze attacks on 23 October, five planes swooped down upon escort carriers on the U.S. Seventh Fleet. This incident is credited as the forerunner of modem cruise missiles employment, and thus, the genesis of the AEGIS Weapon System. No previous U.S. Navy Ship has bome this name, although three prior Navy ships carried the name 'Leyte' to sea. Keel laid March 18, 1985. Christened Leyte Gulf In 1986.

We can look ahead. 1 make plans and even anticipate all fun and COMRELs well get done. but then again that would so blase. So, on the other hand, we took the road less tixiveled ,.i,' ' for our Deployment 2008-09, an unpredictable road. a road that ut times A seemingly going everywhere, sometimes nowhere. Some would say more time to learn about our ship and our shipinates, NOT! We could have gone where others went, but instead We made our mark by boldly going where few have been before us. We got the job done when it counted most! We made the best of each opportunity and pulled together as a team and we had the good fortune of helping in some places that needed it the most. May the Lord richly bless the LEYTE GULF and the brave sailors who served during this deployment. for together it e exemplified the greatness and best as well as the strength of our unity. l-et's be proud of our accomplishments, yes, we did it! 7 months! !!

I DECK DN isi9w lst Divisiong lst to Lead, lst to Succeed First Division, otherwise known as Deck Division was one of the first divisions known in the Navy. During the 200812009 Deployment First Division played a crucial part in conducting Small Boat Training with the Cape Verde and Congolese Navies. By training these navies how to operate, drive and maintain a RHIB in order to keep it in top performance, the Boatswainis Mates and Seamen in First Division contributed to the success of LEYTE GULF participation for the African Partnership Station in the SIXTH FLEET. Besides the training for and execution of Special Evolutions, our major responsibility lies in the maintenance of the ship. By keeping the decks clean of dirt and painting the hull of the ship on a regular basis, we ensured the ship's immaculate appearance during receptions in Congo, Senegal and Dakar and during the festivities for the 100th anniversary of the Great White Fleet in Messina!Sicily. During normal underway steaming we provide and train the majority of the Deck Watchstanders, such as Boatswain's Mate of the Watch, Helmsman and Forward and Aft Lookouts. Our knowledge and motivation are key factors for the shipls safety and battle readiness. Beside the daily routine and Special Evolutions Deck Division personnel has to be flexible and innovative in n solving even the most unexpected tasks. Being a member of a division that faces all these challenges every day makes you realize that as individuals we won't be able to make that happen. But working as a team and looking out for each other allow us to accomplish everything - BRING IT ON!

This division's Operational Specialists assume many diverse roles, controlling aircraft, maintaining detailed surface awareness, and providing secondary navigational inputs. Their hard work and professionalism allow this warship to be successful in everything it does. OI Division has contributed to every aspect of USS LEYTE GULF's mission during the AFRICOM Deployment. Pursuing piracy on both coasts of Africa, conducting a search and rescue operation in Cape Verde, and maintaining fleet surface awareness, the Operational Specialists onboard knew exactly what to do and supported the ship in every station. In-port, they provided support to Africa Partnership Station conducting commercial reQations service, and assisting receptions for dignitaries onboard. The Operational Specialists of OI Division are LEYTE GULF'S pillars, ready to support the ship in whatever it does. 49 fix '----1 --i F1 av, -auf J---1 l E 1 ', ij gy ieliiliiuiili CTRCCSWD Sandra Tumer ,.-X ,M., , rj , , ,O 11 1.

This vvas a very rewarding experience for many as it brought us out of privileged comforts and allowed us to see the need of the others who are not so fortunate. With the help from dedicated workers and many skilled laborers we were able to make a huge difference in many of these communities. Some of the impact that was made was not necessarily from paint brushes and hammers, but was through relationships built with the locals. Whether vve were playing soccer with the children from an orphanage or teaching games such as rock, paper, scissors to children, and impact was made in a life. This impact vvas probably felt more by some of the crew members than by others as we began to connect with the people of these communities. Some days reallv made it hard to leave While deployed under African Partnership we had the opportunity to do various . . The COMRELS that we participated in were rewarding because it reminded us of how blessed we are with all that we tend to take for granted. As we look back on the places that we visited and on the journey that we encountered, we know that we left our mark 'th l .wi peop e of these communities. Thank you to all who selflessly dedicated their time to these projects. ' ifiiif EE 4. . 3 Fifi-y xp T 'gy' X7 Q X X , XXX ' 'ern' 5-fsfmfyj FK xg 'Sqi in ,i,'Y4?'1' '1d'00 r Q -0 ?J' , fiff iff .
