This department is responsible for the operation of the vessel and maintenance of the vessel's machinery. The Engineering Department is divided into three main componentsg Machinery, Repair and Electrical. Each division fuctions separately in its own field and all cooperate together to form an efficient, hard-working department. R -Division, headed by Ensign Mullon, is largely responsible for repairs and alterations to the vessel and its equipment. Towards this end the Carpenter Shop, Shipfitter's Shop, Machine Shop and Boat Shop all put forth noteworthy effort and quality workmanship. E -Division, the smallest division in the Engineering Department, has the monumental task of maintaining all of the ship's electrical equipment in working order. Under the leadership of Division Officer, Chief Electrician A. C. Watkins, this small group of men have really pro- duced fine results. During this last cruise, the E Division took on the extra job of maintaining the up and over lights. These lights are strung together and lead from true bow to the stern by way of the mast heads. It is the policy of the Navy to have these lights lit all night when in a friendly foreign port. It is a tribute to the Electrical Division that the Maury's lights shone bright- ly on all occasions. Last, but by no means least, in the Engineering Department is the M Division. The per- sonnel in this division headed by Chief Machinest Andress are in charge of the operation of the Maury's power plant. Accompanied by the hum of a smoothly operating Engine Room, the boiler tenders and machinist mates of M Division stand their important watches. Work goes on in port as well as at sea. Machinery must be maintained, machinery for refrigeration and heat must be cleaned and repaired?-f all these attest to the technical knowledge and skill of M Division. nc .':hl 7 1 I I .xxvx i X ,.

We are proud of the job done by engineering personnel on this past cruise and we salute their high degree of training and tech- nical skill. . 1 ...J-.X .- I 4-1 - --U.,-., we ,, ALA , , z Y v F , i 1 5 What are you up to Smith Endless repair u R J Y ' Man this is cool ,- 51,196 Sure wish I new what I'm doing hit ana like 'M' in scomnd, wa n ,,1,Ah W . . a C a c 5 b V g ' -'Mil3,a....--,,.-f,-.,..,f,-,..mai .,........f v as X S PPLY QC The Supply Department is responsible for the procurement, receipt, stowage, expenditure ' ' d' l t res and Marine and accounting for all materials used on board except for ammunition, me ica s o 'bl f the serving and preparation of food for the general mess Corps stores. It is also responsi e or and the operation of such service activities as the ship's store, laundry, barber shop, tailor shop, clothing and small stores and ship's service fountain. Also, and very important indeed, the dis- bursing section is responsible for the disbursment of all public funds which includes pay days for the crew. N..

Q W' 'Q 0P RATIO The operations department with LT. Katz as Operations officer is composed of the OC and OE divisions. OC with ENS. Quinn as division officer takes care of all communications. This includes Morrison RM3 and his radio gang, Casey, SMCA and his Signalmen and Dick, TEl with the all im- ant mail. It also includes Decker, AG2 and Haworth AG3 the faithful weather men, who also published our daily newspaper. OE with ENS. Schoen as division officer is composed of basically two functional parts. That is, McNamee, RDCA with CIC and Laughlin, ETl and his electronic technicians. CIC col- lects, evaluates, and disseminates infomation which is especially important in keeping the Maury out of danger while underway. The ET's have the tremendous job of keeping all of our electronics gear aboard the ship, the soundboats and beach stations in operating order. When a helicopter and its detachment are aboard they are also assigned to the Operations port Department. The Operations Department and specifically the Operations Officer must plan ahead so that the Maury can complete her assignments in an orderly fashion. At times, it will mean an urgent message for an air shipment or a rendezvous with another ship. The Operations Department has functions at all levels of the ship's activities. If any member of the operations team falters in his job, it severelv hampers or limits the Maury's capability.

A A., On this cruise, as on all cruises, the functions and duties of the Medical and Dental Department remain primarily the same. Shots are given, First Aid Supplies throughout the ship are checked and administrative duties are performed. Sick Call is held three times daily and the Common Cold becomes very common. The Ship has the equipment and staff cap- able of performing almost any type of Medical or Dental pro- cedures or handle any casualty that may arise on long extended cruises. 4 Only two more to ev Gee, :have cold 17 PERS 0 N Sf! The far-reaching arm of the Executive Officer performs under the auspice of the strative Department. A never-ending flow of paperwork radiates from the cubbyhole and the bewildering volumes of Navy Directives come to life and sensibility in the hands of YNs and PNs who traditionally inhabit the ship's office. Burly Boatswain's Mates ptowling decks behind MAA badges do so as members of this department. The Chaplain, who liveng montony of shipboard life with spiritual enlightenment, is another valuable asset to Maury and the Admin Department. It is also the Chaplain who, as librarian, keeps a goodly supply of read. ing materials available to officers and men, and sees to it that the Crew's Lounge is as ogm. fortable as can be.

The survey - drafting department of the division is capable of compiling the survey data and making usable navigational charts, Then the photography - lithography section make the neg- atives and can reproduce the charts in quantity if need be. Such things as hand printed signs, photo - stats, Chap1ain's bulletins, ship's letter head -stationery are some of the other items that the group is responsible for. During the surveying season, the Hydrographic Department is responsible for obtaining the necessary information in order to make the cruise a successful venture from the scientific stand- point. lf Hydro fails in this endeavor, then the department is more or less at a continual Gener- al Quarters ! The sweat, and tempers that were lost from time to time had their effect but des- pite these the job was accomplished and with remarkable fine results, as attested to by letters from Captain Munson, Hydrographer of the Navy and CNO's Admiral Arleigh A. Burke.

Somers There was an air of enthusiasm and expectancy when the official message arrived stating that USS Maury QAGS l6l. ahydrographic survey ship would visit Odessa, Russiat It was almost like a drearng but it was true that we soon would be on our way to spend a week-end at a port in the Soviet Union located on the westward shore of the Black Sea. .. Q During the next few days the officers and crew were engaged in learning Russian expressions and words. We wanted to be able to greet the people in their own lan- guage. All kinds of Russian enunciations were heard throughout the ship. For all personnel, the approaching visit to Odessa was the most exciting assignment ever presented to USS Maury. To this end everyone would have a definite role in the visit. Finally. the big day arrived. On the cloudy, rainy morning of Z5 SePtembe1' 1959, USS Maury, under the command of Captain Roger W. Luther, USN p roudly steamed into the harbor of Odessa. The dbwnpour of rain prevented us from seeing the beautiful panorariqig 9kY1iHe of thisUkranian city.

If Anyone who knows will tell you that you have not really seen Italy until you have visited the city of Genoa. This we did from 6 April 1959 until 10 April 1959. We viewed with w nder th o , e splendor and magnificence of its cathedrals and monuments as our tour party threaded its way 1 th a ong e narrow streets and by the quaint shops and historic walls of the ancient city, to the teeming boulevards, towering skyscrapers and modem apartment buildings of a more recent Genoa. Here we saw the well known Genoese skyscraperg the tallest building in all Europe and an en- bl via e example of new Italy's architectural achievements. We visited the vinyards and wineries just outside the city and came to know the reasons behind the greatness of Italian wines and champagne. The Chaplain arranged a tour to visit the Riviera di Levante, better known as the Italian Riviera. The resort towns of Camogli, Santa Margherita, Portogino and Rapallo provided a fun - filled afternoon before our return to Genoa over the particularly rugged hills of the National Road. Back within the city of Genoa we halted f ' t , or jus a moment for a glimpse of the humble Cand genuinel childhood home of Christopher Columbus. This tie between Italy and America is a source of pride for the Italian people and the colorful floral gardens depicting the ships of Col- umbus are a living momument to one of ltaly's greatest heros. Nearby the floral gardens is the Monume t t F ll S ld' ' ' ' ' n o a en o iers, built at the request of Mussolini to honor those soldiers of Italy who gave their lives in the defense of their country. Within this monument burns an etemal torch of freedomg an inspiration to the fierce pride of Italian generations. V ' qky. .,.

We observed a backward, but friendly,people in their efforts to absorb a changing and modern world and, at the same time, we saw the olderTurkey as it grasp. ed for the remaining shreds of ancient custom and tradition. We saw the old and new combined into everyday living for the Tur- ks,as they sat around the out. door cafes in their native dress smoking water pipes or while driving their dated American automobiles over the dusty un- paved roads surrounding the city. These scenes provided the pho- to bugs with lots of opportunity for pictures of Turkey .... old and new. The International Trade Fair was in progress during our final visit to Izmir. There, for inspec- tion or purchase, were the varied products of almost every nation of the world as they competed for the approving glance of the customer or sightseer. This dis- play, attracted swarms of Am- erican sailors as they blended into the Fairground atmos- phere of activity. Many of us took advantage of the tour to the. ancient city of Ephesus of Biblical times. AS we passed through the ruins we recalled that these still beauti- ful ruins of granite and marble were once a great thriving city. and the scene of the preachings of Apostle Paul on his journeys through Asia Minor.

Ragged peasants still parade the narrow streets a d ll n a eyways offering their wares to interested parties. Many of the women still adhere to the traditional attire of long, drab robes and face covering veils. The open air markets a d b n aazars are still flourishing like they were in the days when camel caravans brought their merchandise to be sold in th e market place. Also, there are many fashionable shops which have been built within the past few years. The windows furnish the latest fash' d ' ions an styles, particularly for the women. Numerous bar- gains were apparent as the crew soon discovered. Towels, Morrocan leather, tobacco and espec- ially the meerschaum pipes were purchased in abundance. The Air Force exchan u er oppor- tunity to purchase additional gifts and souveniers. Located directly above the exchange was the N.C.O. club, a chance to refresh and relax. The club was situated in an ideal location. From the balcony, there was a a ' ' ' ' p noramic view of the city. The beautiful Istanbul Hilton hotel provided an interesting background from which to capture the contr'st of a cit devel ' a y oping out of the back- wardness of a thousand years.

' lt's like taking a walk into a by- gone era when you trek up the winding flag stone road to the Acropolis. Hundreds of years ago animals were dragged up this same trail for sacrifice to the gods and goddesses homag- ed in the Temples, and sandal- ed Athenians made their prayer- ful way to the summit.
