MANLEY has de- ployed to the Mediterranean four times, cruised the Caribbean six times, and operated in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. In 1960 and 1961 she partici- pated in Project Mercury assisting the recovery of our early spacemen. She contributed significantly to the solution of both the Dominican crisis of 1961 and the Cuban crisis of 1962. When revo- lution erupted in Zanzibar in 1963 MANLEY was again on the scene, evacuating 91 Americans from a barely tenable pOSi'EiOI1 on the island. In 1965, when the SS World Bond collided with the USS KASKASKIA CAO-271, the of- ficers and men of the MANLEY rescued many of World Bond's crew, extinguished the fires and saved the merchantman from almost certain loss. The first nine months of 1966 were spent in training the MANLEY crew and testing the reliability of the equipment before de- parting for unfamiliar waters and an unknown war. 'At last, ready for any contingency, MANLEY departed the United States on 5 October 1966. Six days later, in Rodman, Panama Canal Zone, she became the flagship of De- stroyer Squadron TWENTY and began the long transit of the Pacific. MANLEY joined the war effort on Z1 November, firing her guns in support of U,S, Marines fighting in the I Corps Area of South Vietnam. On 7 December, Mount 51 suddenly and mysteriously exploded, injuring four men and destroying the gun. Y Man ey Departs Far ,ar -, -an-ca.: -ef ,,,..., . xnxx K xy if 4. na 1 X :af V 'fr . .

From the Holy Vineyard of Heaven, please my God, hear and answer my prayer. AMEN 6 or After investigations and repair work, MANLEY returned to the war effort on 22 December to plane guard for the mighty nuclear powered carrier, USS ENTERPRISE QCVAN-655. During the New Year's cease fire,MANLEY steamed north with the USS INGERSOLL QDD-652D to patrol the North Vietnamese coast. During that patrol, MANLEY assisted when the INGERSOLL returned the fire of North Vietnamese shore batteries. In january, MANLEY returned to the gunline for 20 days of troop support and harrassment and interdiction of the enemy. Her first period of rest and recreation was spent in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Her final war- time operations began 1 March, again on the gunline, and were tragically termi- nated on 18 March when Mount S3 ex- ploded, much the same as Mount S1 had in December. This explosion once again illustrated the coolness and expertness of the crew as they immediately put out all fires preventing secondary explosions and fires, while promptly caring for the wounded, preventing any loss of life or permanent injury. MANLEY rejoined DESDIV 201 on 26 March and began the 45 day homeward transit during which time she crossed the equator, visited such ports as Singapore, Massawa, Suda Bay, Valletta, Naples, Palma and Gib- raltar and completed the circumnavigation of the earth, returning to Charleston on 9 May 1967 3 Q 3 COMMANDER W.

Ma.nskY The Deck Forces provided many varied services to the MANLEY. Refueling and replenishment at sea, boat transfers, vertical replenishments and light line transfers were but a few of the evolutions handled by First Division. In addition the Boatswains Mates supplied the personnel for bridge and aftersteering watches, magazine crews and repair party members. In addition they maintained the highest standards of cleanliness and preservation for the ship. As the division men report to, upon reporting aboard, ,and the unit from which personnel are selected for other rates, First Division is in a constant state of flux. As a conse- quence, training of personnel for specific duties becomes difficult. First Division deserves much credit for continually providing qualified watch standers and a clean ship. i p t, ,Y 2 Y, L, 'wi 4 wff, pl, . p 2 D 1 Q' , 5 F i f f P fff p l ie'rt - S , X Z A p J 7 P F A 7, fi ypip I y SN L.

MITCHELL B DIVISION OFFICER B Divi ion During MANLEY's Southeast Asia tour, B Division was responsible for the readiness and performance of the steam generating equip- ment.The many and demanding missions assigned to the ship during the cruise required maximum performance from the engineering plant, which was delivered only through the efforts and aptitudes of the men of B Division. Their pre- ventative maintenance was so thorough that none of the tubes in the four boilers had to be plugged the entire cruise. When a series of main feed pump casualties occurred during plane guard assignments, B Division managed to execute timely and effective repairs so MANLEY could complete all as- signments. Through. B Division's strict adherance to sound engineering practices, the continuous operation of the -highly complex and temper- amental 1200 pound boilers was ensured.

When casualties occurred or other difficulties developed their rapid re- sponse, effective repairs and timely corrective actions to equipment vital to the ship's mission such as air com- pressors, steering machinery and leaking fuel oil tanks enabled'the ship to fulfill all assignments. On two occasions when gun mount explosions occurred, R Division played a major role in minimizing and repairing the damage. The Repair Gang con- sistently performed their duties in an outstanding manner and contributed immeasurably to MANLEY's superior combat record. QA t t 1, V R -- V ,ir r tv , ICI J. Petersen ICZ T.

PAULSON ,r, M Division has played a vital role in the suc cess of MANLEY's around-the-world cruise. Re- sponsible for the two 35,000 I-l.P. main engines and their associated auxiliaries and the 12,000 gallon-per-day capacity evaporators, the Ma- chinist Mates have had little time for leisure as the MANLEY steamed over 50,000 miles. Hard work and effective training resulted in limited major casualties, excellent grades on Competitive Engineering drills and many advance- ments in rating. The fact that MANLEY was underway 857: of the seven-month period meant that liberty was often curtailed as overhauling pumps, refacing valves and inspecting condenser and evaporator piping were assigned priority. M Division's contribution helped MANLEY to gain enviable records while on the gunline, plane-guarding or in the service of COMDESRON TWENTY. .fy 2 er fly M , , , , X , ,Q f ,pg I I W Q ' Wt 5 ,xxigf-.V 4, V iW4 ,W I 4 I I t wi Q e f' Ni!

COTE DISB URSING OFFICER MANLEY's Supply Department, an integral part ofa Well-trained .fighting machine, performed round-the- clock tasks in keeping with its motto Dedicated to 7 outstanding supply support. ' Tasks which appeared mundane to the performer were welcome sights to the recipient. A fresh haircut, a lamp for the movie pro- jector, payday on the gunline, the welcome bowl of hot soup as the Blue Team prepared to relieve the Gold at midnight, the Steward's smiling reply of Ain't got no mo. in the Wardroom at breakfast, were all small contributions, but how important they were when measured in terms of morale. Altemately chastised and championed, the Storekeeps held N.I.S. parts to a minimum. Tons of supplies came aboard MANLEY, arriving by helo, boat, truck, and by courtesy of lst Division and its highlines.So back to Charleston came MANLEY, with a well-laundered, neatly-trimmed, and slightly stouter crew, thanks to the varied and well-executed talents of the Supply Department. .,,fWw ff , 'Q - - ,, XQXXX ,X ,W sv, ff , W ,XX XV , y X ng, ,te . 6559, , if ,, ff of f X r fa: 5 XV 3 C X , w l f y , , C gy X V SKI J.

Fewer than 172 of the other Destroyers operating in the South China Sea handled a comparable amount of traffic. Fora job well done, the Radiomen deserve a BZ and a Red Eye. s. , Y K RMI E.

While steaming in formation in the Tonkin Gulf or with the Squadron, the signalmen obtained vital information quickly and efficiently. The dedication and professional ability of the hospital corps- men were truly demonstrated when mounts 51 and 53 exploded. Their effective response and corrective action minimized injuries and prevented possible loss of life. Their treatment of the injured men prevented further loss of blood, checked shock, dehydration and infection. MANLEY will always be in debt to her hospital Corpsrnen.
