FRANCE % SPAIN £3 o AFRICA USS MANLEY (DD-940) 4 s - • £ o o C h TURKEY MED CRUISE ' 61 We have produced this book to remind ourselves in future years of the 1961 deployment of our ship the us s manley (DD 940) to the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea. I HOPE IT WILL ALSO REMIND ALL HANDS OF THE FACT THAT ALL AMERI- CANS OWE SERVICE, LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TO OUR COUNTRY. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT BY YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS CRUISE AND THE SA- CRIFICES AND HARD WORK THAT HAS GONE WITH IT, YOU HAVE IN PART MET THAT DEBT., IT HAS BEEN A GOOD CRUISE AND MANLEY HAS MADE A REPUTATION ALL OF US CAN BE PROUD OF. I THINK THIS IS ONLY NA- TURAL because MANLEY is a United States Destroyer and there IS NO BETTER FIGHTING UNIT IN THE WORLD TODAY. K £ U ' ? ? USS MANLEY DD940 SHIP ' S HISTORY u.s.s. manley is the fifth destroyer of the Forrest Sherman Class to be com- missioned AND THE THIRD SHIP OF THE NAVY TO BEAR HER NAME. SHE IS NAMED IN HONOR OF CA- PTAIN John MANLEY of the Continental Navy. MANLEY ' S keel was laid on 10 February 1956 and on 12 April 1956 MANLEY was christened by Mrs . Arleigh BURKE , the wife of the Chief of Naval Operations. Delivered to the Navy by the Bath Iron Works on 25 January T957, MANLEY was commissioned one week later on 1 February 1957. After a six week period of trials and fitting out manley sailed for guantanamo Bay, Cuba for shakedown training. While undergoing this rigorous training, manley was sent to Key West, Florida to take part in a wide screen movie entitled windjam- mer. at the conclusion of her eight weeks of shakedown training, manley sailed on .her shakedown cruise visiting, lisbon, por- TUGAL, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Kiel, Germany, and Copenhagen, Denmark. After a six-week post -shakedown ship- yard AVAILABILITY DURING WHICH SHE WAS FOR- MALLY ACCEPTED by the Navy, MANLEY sailed TO HER HOME PORT NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. ON 4 September MANLEY headed North once more on NATO Exercises , during which she crossed the Arctic Circle. Returning to the U.S. on 24 October , MANLEY became Flagship for DESTROYER SQUADRON FOUR. After a three month period of local operations , MANLEY sailed for her first mediterranean deploy- ment on 4 december 1957. druing the ex- tremely rough atlantic crossing , manley was struck by a huge wave off the azors on 12 december. two men were killed and se- veral seriously injured when a large portion of the Galley, Radio, and Radar Rooms were stove in and flooded bythe big wave , which the plank owners still aboard vividly re- MEMBER. Diverted to Lisbon, Portugal, to transfer her injured, manley sailed for Gibraltar on 17 December after effecting emergency repairs. while in gibraltar, the Royal Navy dockyard and the ship ' s company accomplished extens i ve voyage repairs and on 4 January 1958 MANLEY sailed for the Uni- ted States, arriving in Norfolk, Virginia on 16 January and five days later departed for Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for a three month yard period to repair damages . AFTER A PERIOD OF LOCAL AND FLEET OPERA- TIONS, MANLEY SAILED FOR KEY WEST, FLO- RIDA in January for two weeks to evaluate the USE OF A DRONE HELICOPTER LAUNCHED FROM AND LANDED ON A DESTROYER AT SEA. After returning to Norfolk MANLEY sailed to Charleston, South Carolina, her new home port. On 21 September 1959 MANLEY departed Charleston for her second Med. Deployment though it was the first she actually partici- PATED in. During her six month stay in the Med MANLEY visited such ports as Istanbul, Turkey, Athens, Greece, Naples, Italy and Cannes, France. Completing her Mediterra- nean duty on 1 April, MANLEY headed for HOME, RETURNING TO CHARLESTON ON 10 APRIL 1960. Following a tender and upkeep period in April and May, MANLEY took part in local operation and participated in the first pro- ject Mercury Shot. On 6 September 1960 MANLEY once morl pointed her bow northward to participate in NATO Exercises. After 28 days at sea, the longest time such a large formation had been at sea since World War II, MANLEY pulled into Cardiff, Wales. The people of Cardiff gave MANLEY an enthusiastic welcome and MANLEY RESPONDED with equal enthusiasm. Seven days later MANLEY left Cardiff for ANOTHER WEEK OF NATO EXERCISES RETURNING TO CHARLESTON ON 20 OCTOBER. IN NOVEMBER AND JANUARY MANLEY AGAIN PARTICIPATED IN FLEET OPERATIONS AND ANOTHER PROJECT MER- CURY Shot . On March 8, 1961 MANLEY once more DEPLOYED TO THE MEDITERRANEAN FOR 6 MONTHS OF INTENSIVE OPERATIONS. WHILE IN THE MED, MANLEY visited Beirut, Lebanon, Athens, Greece, Naples, Italy, Izmir, Turkey, Beau- lieu, France, Rhodes, Greece, Golfe Juan, France, Santo Stefano, Italy, and Cannes, France. Detached from the 6th Fleet on 22 September , MANLEY headed for home , stop- ping off at Rota , Spain on 23 September and arriving home in charleston on 4 october 1961 . While in Santo Stephano, MANLEY en- tertained A GROUP OF 30 ORPHANS. THE PARTY WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS AND TO SHOW HIS AP- PRECIATION the Priest in charge of the child- ren CAME ABOARD AND BLESSED THE SHIP IN ONE OF THE RITES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH . i l -, CDR . K.
