On 4 September 1942, off Guadalcanal, Soloman Islands, Commander LOFBERG, as Commanding Officer of the USS LITTLE, challenged the numerically superior Japanese Naval force which was shel- ling American positions on the island. His ship scored numerous hits on the enemy vessels before it was spotlighted by two enemy destroyers. Caught in a curtain of fire, the LITTLE was set aflame. Commander LOFBERG was lost at sea during the battle. LOFBERG is a 2200 ton short hull destroyer of the SUMNER class. The keel was laid at San Francisco, California by the Bethlehem Steel Companyon 4 November 1943 and chris- tened. a year later for a cost of eight million dollars excluding armament. The LOFBERG com pleted her shakedown cruise too late to participate in World War II, but she was at Pearl Harbor on 9 August 1945 when the Japanese forces surrendered. In the fall of 1945, LOFBERG continued westward to Japan and assumed the duties of flag- ship for Commander Mine Squadron Three., who controlled the clearing of mines in the area. She also undertook patrol duty along the Chinese coast and frequently visited Sasebo, Tokyo, and Okinawa, with brief visits also to Tsingtao and Taku. After her first WESTPAC assign- ment LOFBERG returned to the states, arriving at San Francisco in March of 1946. . For her first stateside duty LOFBERG acted as training ship for the Naval Base at ,Treas- ure Island, San Francisco. She was .then assigned2tQIthe Inactive Reserve in the Third Fleet, based at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. In the early months of 1947, 'LOFBERG departed San Francisco and operated in Dan Diego waters for several weeks. She then returned to San Francisco to conduct' Naval Reserve Cruises, visiting Victoria, B.C., Juneau, Port Angeles, Seattle, Esquimalt Harbor, and Ketchican, Alaska. She also conducted gunnery exercises off Cape Flattery and off Tatoosh in the Puget Sound. In September of 1950, shortly after the United States had been committed in the Korean hostilities, LOFBERG, as flagship for Destroyer Squadron Seven, steamed for Korea and 0 Far Eastern waters with Destroyer Division 71. LOFBERG completed three tours of duty to the Far 'East during the Korean action, serving with fast carrier task forces off both coasts of Korea, providing naval gunfire support and patrolling the Straits of Formosa. On her first cruise in 1951, during the cold winter 'months of January and Eebruary, LOFBERG A joined the battleship MISSOURI in the bombardment of Hangnum, Kansong, and Kangnung on the east coast of Korea and escorted the Mighty Mo to the west coast of Korea and on to Inchon. Wonsan was included among the bombardment assignments during the second and third cruises. During the third cruise LOFBERG remained in Wonsan Harbor for six weeks while participating in the longest. naval seige in history. Sincie the cessation of hostilities in Korea, LOFBERG has served with the United States Far Eastern Forces on twelve occasions in addition to the Western Pacific tour which is covered on the adjoining pages of this cruise book. . In 1962 LOFBERG underwent-the Navy's Fleet rehabilitation and Modernization program QFRAM IIJ. At this time she was modernized and her service life extended several years at a fraction of the cost of a new ship. Among the instaliations added to LOFBERG were the DASH qDrone Anti-Submarine Helicopterb weapons system, Variable Depth Sonar, Combat Information Center, Anti-Submarine Warfare Center, as well as various electronic equip- V ment. ' I Since FRAM, LOFBERG's assignments have included several patrols on the Formosa Straits, fast carrier operations, including plane guarding for combat aircraft in Vietnam, a tour with the Pacific Fleet Hunter-Killer Group Alpha , Market Time patrols and Naval Gunfire Support missions in Vietnam. She has visited in addition to the Navy bases in Subic Bay, Philippines and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Midway and Guam, Yokosuka, Sasebo and Osaka, Japan, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung and Keeltmg, Taiwan.

It doesn't take much to realize, however, how heavily the people of Supply are depended upon to support every function aboard the ship. Supply types not only feed and pay the crew and provide the ship with parts that are vital to its oper- ation, but they also make shipboard exis- tance a comfortable mode of life.

Countless memories were made hereg memories of the endless toil of shipboard upkeep and of the too few hours of relaxation. Subio Bay soon became an old friend. The Naval Base itself was our baok yard and Olongapo City was our childhood sand box. We got to know it all in one way or another, from the warm sunshine on Grande Island to the cold San Miguel at the Sherry Club. Memories are made of this. 5 553' it an Ai ia A A y -1 Y .'

Five days of noth- ing but rest and relaxation for hell- raising and exhaustionb was just what the doctor ordered for War-weary sailors and We took our medicine gladly. Hong Kong was many different things to all of us. No doubt it's a thriving, mod- ern city with all the comforts of home, but it's also the shopping capital of the World and a city of exciting mystery and intrigue. The tense political atmosphere and the nearness of Communist China made it all the more enticing. All these things and more made Hong Kong a port of call none of us Will ever forget.

Davao, the third largest city in the Philippines and the largest on the island of Mindinao was scheduled for LOFBERG as a port visit . Here we not only had a chance to relax and see a truly unspoiled land of beauty but We also acted in the real sense as ambassadors to a foreign country. As part of our activities we played host to many Philippine dignitaries, op- ened our home for general visiting, gave a party for Philippine orphans and al- most beat the Davao championship soft- ball team.

A man's deepest thoughts become religion and with a war to fight he rarely has time to think. Whenever possible the services of a priest or mine ister are flown in by helicopter from a carrier or other large unit. The Holy Helo is a welcome sight for all hands for it is a genuine break from routine and a chance to stop long enough to thank God for life itself. 18,5 J?-ffm wk-Eg fb f gi '57 Y H fi j'-.,.f-'XXM 49111 fl :'.'n.,- Q'..- , V7 'TfT ':' M534 '- a to ' ' 11.--ef I r Khrl ima 196 7 ' 1 First Division, standby to pick up Go1d Dust .

Twenty-four hours before, the cele- bration in favor of the Pollywogs began, and the Shellbacks were chased, ran down, tied up and sprayed with water. The Poly- wogs , however, hadn't counted on what was to follow the next day. This was to be Shellback Day and even though all was in good fun, the shellbacks were plotting against the Pollywogs. On the day of our crossing, Shellbacks dressed as pirates, took on a superior air and pollywogs scattered for safety. Safety was soon lost,though, and the initiation Lnfbc' g fl Z5 the Pollyufvg Day began. After the spraying, crawling, dips in the garbage chute, and kissing of the royal baby'sobelly were complete, Shellback con- gratulated Shellback, and not one Pollywog existed aboard the LOFBERG.

LOFBERG was a prime unit for selection in this new Naval action. Although warweary and eager to re- turn home, she Was well trained for any as- signment and in as good an operating condi- tion as any time in her history. From Subic Bay we returned to the Viet- namese War Zone to shoot and be shot at by Viet Cong in I Corps near the DMZ. From Vietnam we steamed to Sasebo, Japan then on into the Sea of Japan to continue the Naval pressure put on the Korean communists. These swift reassignments made quick self-adjustment manditory both in the pace of operations and in the climate under which We had to work. LOFBERG responded ad- mirably to every demand placed on her and she can Well be proud of the way the true spirit of destroyermen was carried on.

LOFBERG returned home twice during her 67-68 Westpac cruise, once in spirit on February 27th and once physically on April 6th, almost six weeks later than originally scheduled. It was a glorious day when we first caught sight of Point Loma and then 1SD and even moreso when we finally set foot on U. S. soil once again. Hundreds of dependents and friends were Waiting for us on the pier and no one noticed that the Crudespac band played the same song upon our arrival as upon our de- parture. We were home.
