Built in the Fall River Shipyard at Quincy, Massachusetts, the ship ' s keel was laid on December 2, 1957, and the ship was launched on July 14, 1959, with Mrs. Craig Hosmer of Long Beach, California as sponsor. LONG BEACH got underway on nuclear power for the first time on the morning of July 5, 1961. On September 9, 1961, the ship was commissioned at the Boston Naval Shipyard with the Honorable John B. Connally, Secretary of the Navy, keynoting the traditional commissioning ceremonies in which LONG BEACH, with Captain E. P. Wiikerson as Commanding Officer, joined the fleet. Early in 1962, LONG BEACH made a six week cruise to Europe, visiting Germany, France and Bermuda. The ship operated out of her homeport of Norfolk, Virginia throughout 1962 and 1963. In July 1964, the LONG BEACH lo ' ined the nuclear carrier USS ENTERPRISE and the nuclear frigate USS BAINBRIDGE on a world cruise, steaming more than 30,000 miles in 58 days and visiting Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil. LONG SE ICH underwent her first overhaul at Newport News, Virginia from August 1965 to February 1966. She then transited, via the Panama Canal, to her new homeport. Long Beach, California, arriving on March 15, 1966. In November of the same year, LONG BEACH departed for her first tour in the Western Pacific (WESTPAC). During the next three years, the ship rotated between her homeport and WESTPAC, completing three tours of duty in the Far East. Operational assignments included aircraft identification, and control and rescue duties in the Gulf of Tonkin. In March 1970, LONG BEACH transited to Vallejo, California for her second overhaul. She returned to Long Beach in late 1971 and remained there until March 1972 when she departed for her fourth deployment to the Western Pacific. Operational duties were again in the Tonkin Gulf where several communist jet fighters were shot down and 17 U.S. pilots rescused from the water. LONG BEACH returned to the U.S. in November 1972 and continued to rotate between her homeport and WESTPAC. IN 1975, the ship ' s homeport was changed to San Diego, California. The LONG BEACH was awarded the Commander Naval Surface Force Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) award, and the Battle Efficiency E , in March 1979. These awards signified respectively the best AAW ship in the Pacific Fleet, and the most operationally ready large ship in Cruiser Destroyer Group One. On January 7, 1980, LONG aEi4CHdeployed to her ninth WESTPAC cruise. During this deployment, she was awarded the Humanitarian Service Medal for her efforts in the rescuing of 144 Vietnamese refugees. After her extensive overhaul at Bremerton, Washington, the LONG BEACH commenced her tenth western Pacific deployment on 13 January 1984. THE SEAL . : y %i Ti- The ship ' s seal is representative of the LONG BEACH m ss ox , summarizing it in the motto Strike Hard, Strike Home . The capability of the LONG BEACH to Strike Hard, Strike Home is her three missile systems, symbolized in the seal by the triple tridents. The missile systems are designed to operate offensively against air, surface or submarine threats making the LONG BEACH an effective tactical weapon. To combine this with the advantage of nuclear power, no refueling, is to further increase the effective- ness of her role by allowing virtually unlimited cruising ability. Nuclear power is represented in the seal by the sun. The anchor-carrying eagle stands for the sea power possessed by the LONG BEACH, one of the strongest in the surface fleet; a capability of conducting far-ranging opera- tions independent of logistical support. The final symbol, the seashell, portrays the city of Long Beach, California, the ship ' s namesake; and it symbolizes all the qualities of adventure inherent in a sailor ' s life. Adventure with a mission of naval strength, composed of nuclear propulsion and three missile systems, is exactly the reason for the U.S.S. LONG BEACH (CGN-9). CAPT.

The Bible says there is a time for every purpose, and this was the time for saying goodby and for looking ahead. Even though it was hard to face the prospect of not seeing loved ones for months, there was excitement in the air. The months of waiting and training and inspections were over. The mission we were embarking on was our reason for existence as a ship and as a crew. None of us were sure what challenges lay ahead or just how he would react to them, but as I stood on the bridge, I had a feeling of confidence and of great pride. This ship and this crew were the most capable and the best trained of any I had ever sailed with. The events which filled the next six and a half months and which we have tried to represent in this book have done nothing but make my feelings stronger. In real world confrontations with potential enemies and in continuing training, we met every challenge head on and we triumphed. No book, regardless of its length could tell the entire story of a deployment. What we have tried to do instead, is to provide a flavor of the fun and the work; the excitement and the boredom. There was plenty of each of these to go around. We have also attempted to write to readers who are trying to form a better picture of what a son or husband did while he was away for so long as well as to those of us who in years to come will want to look back and remember what it was like or maybe what we looked like before we put on weight or lost our hair. Regardless, what you see is a crew of American fighting men, dedicated to maintaining freedom of the sea and to serving their country. Men for whom the equivalent of a late night run to the 7-Eleven for more beer was four hours keeping a tossing ship 150 feet away from a store ship in the black of night while shipmates wrestled half-ton pallets of food and supplies across the foamy chasm between. It was men staring at radar scopes whose voice on the radio meant life or death to pilots miles away, men standing watch six hours on and six hours off for months at a time, and men standing watch on nuclear reactors in one hundred degree heat and humidity. Why do men do these things? Why do wives send them off? There are as many answers as men, but i think a big part of it is that these Americans realize that freedom isn ' t free! If our children are to grow up to enjoy the things we enjoy, to have the chance to make an even better life for themselves, we, today must make an investment. So here they are! The crew of the U.S.S. LONG BEACH and their ship, the ONLY REAL CRUISER IN THE NAVY! Here is a crew that John Paul Jones or Chester Nimitz would be proud to serve with, and one that I am honored to have had a chance to lead.

Many of these were behind the scenes and known only to those involved. The most spectacular, and most visible test was the testing of our weapons systems. We went up to PMTC, the Long Beach, her sailors and me. We shot off our wad for country and God and the drones they all splashed in the sea.

The Islandia government re- quests support from the U.S. to prevent the revolt and LONG BEACH answers the call, alert to the risk of hostile fire. At dawn LONG BEACH is attacked and the General Quarters alarm is sounded, beginning two days of combat. HIT ALPHA! HIT ALPHA! t REFTRA, or Refresher Training, enables a ship ' s crew to prepare for actual battle situations by acting out scenarios like the one above. Included in this training are firefighting, damage control, emergency first aid, emergency communications and abandon ship under the most adverse conditions. Readiness comes from preparedness. Passing REFTRA proves that a ship ' s crew Is ready for real world situations and the crew of LONG BEACH proved they were ready. THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO SERVE . . .

Before deploying, Japan had been removed from our schedule. How- ever, because of our extended stay in Pearl, we were detached from the Battle Group and allowed to make this short but memorable visit to Japan. Japan is a beautiful nation with beautiful people that are bound to tradition. if . ' ii f i ii  fit Ht a . .

KOREA MAR. 15-17 Our visit to Inchon was part of Team Spirit ' 84. The Korean winter was cold but that did not stop us from having a good time. Because we had to anchor out, the only way ashore was via liberty boats. This was interest- ing at times, due to winds and waves. The only regret most had regarding our visit here was that we didn ' t have more money to spend on the great buys that were available. Photo by FTQZ Woitorhula ICOME.

It was a truly rewarding experience for all involved. H BISIac r ■ ' X.. ' SUBIC BAY, R.P. APRIL 1-7 JULY 5-9 Our first visit to Subic was a chance to make minor repairs and prepare the ship for our tour of duty in the North Arabian Sea. It was our last chance to get many jobs done prior to those operations. Our return visit was used to put some final touches on projects begun after leaving the North Arabian Sea. Many of the crew found good bargains on base and off, and brought back many souvenirs.

On this crossing, there were some 800 slimy Pollywogs and only 150 Trusty Shellbacks. The festivities began on the evening of June 14 when the Royal Beauty Queen was selected. The beauty contest was followed by a talent show which all enjoyed. Early on the morning of June 15, the Trusty Shellbacks began the process of cleansing the slime from all the Pollywogs thus enabling them to become Trusty Shellbacks. King Neptunis Rex was present to observe the proceedings and to give his approval to all those who became Shellbacks.

This was a time when we embarked male guests so that they could see what we do while underway. To kick off Operation Tiger, the ship sponsored a luau at the Halekoa Hotel. Upon departing Hawaii, the Tigers were treated to an active schedule which displayed our many capabilities. This schedule included an air show by Airwing 2, gun firings and high line transfers. HOME AT LAST AUG 1, 1984 After 201 days and over 58,000 miles, we returned home to San Diego to be reunited with our loved ones. The cruise was exciting but that excitement could not match the excitement of reunions with family and friends. We had completed our assignment and it was time to begin a period of relaxation.
