Admiral Luce succeeded in having the world ' s first Naval War College established at Newport. Rhode Island. He retired after com- pleting AT years of ser ' ice. 1942 1957 1961 The .second LUCE (DD-552) was laid down by Bethlehem Steel Co.. Staten Island.

Following her commissioning on May 20. 1961. LUCE participated in numerous fleet exercises and de- ployed to the Mediterranean five times and the Indian Ocean once. On February 25, 1970, Luce was decom- missioned for a year for an extensive conversion as part of the Nav ' s Anti- Air Warfare Modernization Program. On July 1, 1975. LUCE was reclassified from [3LG-7 to DDG-38. Further modi- fication included the addition of the HARPOON surface-to-surface cruise missile system. USS LUCE is now one of the most capable fighting ships in 1918 1945 The first vhhsiA to Ixjar the n.iine LUCE was built in Quincy.

The blue and gold colors are s mbolic of the U.S. Na T. The three stars on either side of the border represent the three ships which have borne the name LUCE. The words Pride. Power and Knowledge on the lower scrolls represent meaningful concepts within the Ja T. The word Knowledge has particular meaning because of the guiding philosophy of Admiral Luce and the Admiral ' s intense concern with education, training and knowledge. The Trident in the 1st quadrant and the blue and white waves in the 2nd and 4th quadrants of the center design represent victor - through seapower. and were drawn from the coat of arms of the Naval War College. The special relationship of .Admiral Luce with the college is significant because he was instrumental in having the college established and was its first president. The torch in the 3rd quadrant signifies know ledge which enlightens our lives and prepares the way for progress. x COMMANDER LANCE A. WATERS Commiinder Waters, a nati ' ti of Waiiwiitnsa.

Jacksonville started out as a French colony on the St. Johns river. The city soon grew in size and importance as an Atlantic sea- port, not slowing down until the great depression. Today, still growing and in the middle of the so called billion dol- lar decade, Jacksonville has a wide variety of leisure ac- tivities to offer, including water sports, concerts, sight seeing, and of course, a good selection of shopping malls.

Fkarido ' s workj famous oranges Life at Sea A work day at sea begins with reveille at 0600. Breakfast is served at 0615 for one tiour. At 0730, the crew assembles by divisions in designated areas around the ship for quarters to discuss planned events for the day before going to work at 8 o ' clock. Each sailor has a job to do and a watch to stand. Watches vary from 4 to 6 hours and some are even 12 hours long. Considering the watches we stand plus the numerous all hands evolutions we have during each day like refuelingatsea, flight quarters, and general quarters drills it is often difficult to complete our daily tasks. By 1100 it is time to clean the ship, put away tools and get ready for lunch. For the guys who had early morning watches, lunch is also the time to catch a nooner . At 13 00 work resumes till 1630. By 1600 the ship ' s closed circuit TV system is on the air providing the crew with two channels of continu- ous entertainment. Early dinner is served at 1700 for those going on watch and at 1715 for the rest of the crew. After dinner is usually the best time to work out, jog or just relax on the weather decks. At 2200, lights in all berthing spaces are turned off so the crew can rest and get ready for upcoming watches and the following day. For those with late night watches, midrats are served at 2315. At midnight, LUCE ' S bakery resumes operation preparing all the delicious bread, cakes and dough- nuts for the upcoming day. We all enjoy our time at sea, but after days of demanding work and naval maneuvers we look forward to hearing the three magic words: IVIOORED, SHIFT COLORS . at quarters Ji tJ m w s fi i i 1 V L 2 1 ' K M M BC f wl flH ti ■ w .■ 0c 0% « Engineering (Or A T THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CONSISTS OF BOILER TECHNI- CIANS.

GARRETT 27 REPLENISHMENT AT SEA In oraer to operate or sec for prolonged periods of time, a fleet unit receives logistic support by means of underway replenishments (UNREPs). Steaming at 12 knots with only 140 to 160 feet between ships, fuel and solid cargo are transferred. From the time the first line is received onboard to the time the fueling hose is prop- erly connected and fuel is flowing, 8 to 10 minutes have elapsed. LUCE usually conducted UNREPs every four days while underway, regardless of time or weather conditions, and always in a professional and safe man- ner.

They nornnally last 15 minutes if the helo is in sight or for as long as 5 hours if re- ceiving supplies from a replenishment ship.

A curtoin of rocky mountains running parallel to the coast, descending at times to form cliffs. And the water, as calm and clear as we ever imagined. There it was; Benidorm, Spain, our first stop in the Mediterranean. Well known for her crystal clear beaches, continuous night entertainment, and most importantly, for their friendly people. LUCE sailors soon discovered to their delight that Benidorm ' s reputation was well deserved. Our visit coincided with the city ' s celebration of Saint Joseph ' s festivities which included numerous parades of beautiful sel oritas dressed in the traditional to era custom. This name comes from the word ' Yo o which is given to a spe- cially made wood and paper figures sometimes over 20 ft . tail exhibited throughout ttie festivities and later burned on the closing night at midnight, symbolizing their own purification. ■.
