H ii? -e- f 1 1 'W l --...Lal n wi ...Jav- -af The MAURY'S mission is to obtain hydro- graphic and other oceanographic data to permit updating of navigational charts and insure safe navigation to the world's mariners. A port of her mission is to provide field charts to place new information in the hands of ship navigators at the earliest possible time. The USS MAURY was originally com- missioned the USS RENATE QAKD-363 in August 1945. The RENATE was built in Providence, Rhode Island, by the Walsh-Kaiser Shipbuilding Company and was attached to the Amphibious Force of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet. The RENATE was converted to a hydrographic survey ship at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, by the addition of four large soundboats, a modern drafting 1'00II1. print shop, and photographic laboratory and helicopter flight deck. On 1 August 1946 she was commissioned as USS MAURY QAGS-165. Upon recommissioning, the MAURY joined the Pacific Fleet to survey Truk Atoll. In 1948, following a year of inactivation, the MAURY began the first of several deployments 501-,JP - . 1. ...Qs .-. 4, - ih- A-1-......, Q, . to the Persian Gulf. This operation continued until 1952 when a new series of special survey projects were begun. In September 1959, MAURY became the first U. S. Navy ship to entera Russian port since World War II when she paid a good will visit to the Black Sea port of Odessa. In February 1960 the ship's homeport was moved from New York to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Since changing homeports MAURY has spent many a month in various areas of South East Asia, South America, Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific performing survey operations as specified by Navoceano, SecNav and treaty obligations. Presently the MAURY has com- pleted an exhaustive hydrographic survey in the Vietnam area. The Oceans cover some seven tenths ofthe ea1fth's surface and if excuse be need- ed, surely this alone is adequately to justi- fy theiifstndy H. Barnes Oceanographic Ki Marine Biology. 1959 s..Sc.

Not to mention the other divisions on the ship, it requires a multitude of disciplines to produce an ac- curate field chart. The talents and abilities of the personnel in V Division are corre- spondingly many. Surveyors survey and compute geodetic positions of reference to pin-point soundings taken by the sound boats. Draftsmen work on this data and prepare boatsheets and then smoothsheets filled with these soundings which are then photographed. From the photographs, soundings are selected to represent the depth in an area on the chart original. The chart original, which also has the coastline and latitude and longitude drawn on it, is then photographed by the printer to produce lithographic plates from which the chart is printed. Shorelines on the chart may be established from Army combat charts or hy K1.fXl'liY photographers taking aerial photograplis of the coast from helicopters and producing a mosaic photo to be drawn on the chart original. Our operations have iiiwii further enhanced by four Marines from thc Lind Topographic Company from Cfaiiip l,vic'i1iie,N. Cf. fine of our most notable accomplish- iia-iiie this year has been production of niiilii-color field charts, which are less ziiiiliigviifiiis than black and white ones.

Henry X DIVISION Executive Division is comprised of the ship's personnel office, the Chaplain's off fice, and Special Services. The ship's office takes care of all the official mail that comes in, routes it around to the appropri- ate divisions and officers, and keeps up-t0- date records and files. They also take care of all the correspondence to COMSERVPAC EPDOPAC, and BUPERS along with keeping the officer and enlisted men's service records and diary entries. The Chaplain, LCDR Gerald N. Reiff, is charged with the task of caring for the spiritual matters and problems of the ship's personnel. Along with conducting weekly worship service, the Chaplain also offers personal counseling and advice for those who seek it. He also arranges tours at our major port calls throughout the cruise. Special Services runs the ship's recreational facilities by issuing athletic equipment, operating the hobby shop, setting up periodic bingo games and skeet shoots. All told, X Division is a vital and vziried division on board MAURY. we - b. A. Www It says here....... Who's in charge here?

L Good station! l 1'T OC DIVI I0 The primary purpose of OC Division is keeping MAURY in communication with Naval shore stations and the rest of the ships in the fleet. This is a twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week task requiring the talents of four Navy rates: Radiomen, Signalrnen, Communications Yeomen, and Aerographel-S qweathermenl . Most bridge watchstanderg are familiar with the Signalmen's duties on MAURY, but few members of the crew ever have the opportunity to see the work that goes on inside the Radio Shack because of the classified nature of equipment and material, While at sea, our radio gang screen thousands of messages each month, making doubly sure that they don't miss any traffic addressed to our ship. During survey operations the men on watch have the responsibility of keeping voice circuits with our soundboats and beach camps loud and clear , as reliable communications with units, especially in a combat zone, are of vital importance to the command. Outgoing messages are now being handled with in- creased speed after the installation of our new teletype transmitting system by SRF Guam during MAURY'S delayed visit to that island paradise. The Radiomen, long accustomed to CW qMorse Codel and its related procedures, are fast becoming acquainted and quite proficient with this latest mode of communications. Radio Central also has the distinction of being the softest touch in the bridge area for free cigarettes, superior coffee, and cold Kool-Aid. pf 'T Q 1' 'OJ sfo - 0,5 g 34' 5 - I Not 50 fast' 18 Some H1 F1 set' qv? ,.

Talk about a transistorized sailor. 19 would you believe? OE DIVISION This OE Division, composed of Radar men and Electronic Technicians. The Radarmen are concerned with the safe navigation of the ship when near land and the plotting of other ships to calculate how close they'll come to our ship, They also handle the all-important job of keep- ing in touch with the soundboats when they are surveying. The ET 's are a most important group of men. They are tasked with servicing all of the shipboard electronic equipment which consists mainly of communications gear and radar components. Also, since the systems of surveying are primarily electronic in nature, the job of maintain- ing the survey equipment in a high state of performance is theirs. This function is vital to the mission of the MAURY. Al- though the ET 's are pretty good at trouble- shooting, estimating the time of repair on a piece of gear is difficult because of the many variable incremators in the circuits. When WO Olander, our Electronics Materiel Officer, passed the Soundboat Test he became MAURY'S first Warrant boat officer. -o - A -sv 5 l . I A1 3' Q M W M.,--1'- ' How am I going to get out there?

Q' X' L f A XWLLL FIR T DIVI I0 It is the men of the First Division to whom we look for providing us with the means to anchor and moor MAURY wher- ever and whenever our orders take us. Our three mooring lines and two anchors can help secure us for survey needs and other shipboard requirements. Our thirty-ton boom can hoist each of the two soundboats carried in the forward skids into the water with ease. Gff-loading and back- loading the vehicles and equipment used to aid our survey operations ashore, which are stored in the itil hold, is also part of First Division's contribution to MAURY'S mission. Not to be overlooked are the Bos'n Locker and Paint Locker - each one a storeroom for the various supplies and materials needed to carry out normal shipboard maintenance, Men of the First Division are also responsible for the cleaning and preserva- tion of decks forward of the superstructure, the sides in that area, and the numerals of our hull number. First Division's job is a large and important one in support of our survey mission as can be plainly seen. it qw? w Q 'mf yan., Refueling Ops. Xxx X xW, . .

He is seasoned and trained on deck into the sea- man who will eventually run the topping lift, coxswain the boat, or fire the guns, Second Division does its part in making this seaman. The green learn from the salty, and sometimes the process works in re- verse. The tough jobs, the long jobs, and sometimes the dirty jobs are all com- pleted with the experience gained in the first few months on deck. Second Division's boatswains and gunners trained their men alongside the piers at Pearl, and off the reefs at Kwaj. They were ready for the big jobs to come during the cruise. The working of the 30 and five ton booms in lowering and raising cargo and boats, the landing of helos, and the rigging of boat booms and accommodation ladders were all done with speed and efficiency. The chipping, the painting, the sweeping, the cleaning of weapons, and the long hours on watch were all taken in stride. The men of Second Division rate a solid well done for the contribution in service to the MAURY'S mission. R31 S . ' ' f-N... Ml 4 5? 5 f.

It is the responsibility of these men to maintain, preserve, and Oper- ate the two LCVP's, LCPL-5, and LCPL-6 fbetter known as the Captain's Gig j , Dm-- ing survey operations, the division also furnishes men for the soundboats and for the beach camps. These men get much experience in lowering and raising boats for garbage runs , mail runs into the beach, crashboat manning for flight quarters, and if that isn't enough, they sometimes put a boat in the water for a water test. During their spare time, BM2 Ennis, a most capable petty officer, has them chipping paint, painting, scrubbing down bulkheads and decks on the main deck, 01, 02, and 03 levels. Keeping these spaces clean is a job in itself with the periodic blowing of stacks and the con- tinuous rain of soot every four hours.

The' boat shop also supplies enginemen for all boats when underway. They carry a tre- mendous responsibility and are very ably led by EN1 Jim Bowling and CM1 Seabeen Windes. The machine repair shop is operated by three outstanding men in their field. They manufacture repair parts of all sizes and shapes from a wide variety of metals. The shop is led by MR1 Hpappyn Dietz who knows his rate as well or better than anyone on the ship. Everyone on board knows of the shipfitter shop gang and the type of work they do. They under- take and accomplish a tremendous variety of jobs. Chief Rollerson, Steve Potter, Paul Vizcaino and all the other personnel of the shop have really become a highly trained and organized group of workers. if there are any needed repairs to piping or valves, any work involving welding or cutting or fabri- cation of metalwork, these guys are always on the job - and a fine job they do! The DC! carpenter shop is the fourth shop of the group, and in the area of carpentry, there is very little they can't do. They also maintain and repair all of our damage con- trol equipment to keep it in the best pos- sible working order. The shop is led PY Chief Hennington and his very able 'ihlfd class petty officers.

NHA T RAN G Concluding our R gl R in Subic Bay, we returned to the combat zone, develop- ment of Nha Trang harbor as our goal. Sound boats were again used and pro- ceeded to add up survey miles in a true can-do fashion. All hands took advan- tage of the beach parties and liberty opportunities provided in this relatively secure area. Long hours of round the clock effort by both the sound boats and during the last few days by the ship paid off in dividends. Having obtained high quality survey data to be used in the production of the ship's field charts, the short but fruitful Nha Trang survey was concluded in record time and we departed the area on 19 July for Subic Bay, R.

The crew was offered daily tours to either Hakone or Tokyo where camera bugs were busily engulfed with picture taking of the magnificent countryside and the many other unique features Japan has to offer. MAURY and her crew said Sayonara to Japan on ll September and headed easterly to her almost forgotten homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. .Qi .e1' tl A L t I '-K' , Q r iff-if r V 4 ' 2 U I ff' I Q .- - -vw fu1.i'fiJ inn., O1micSrtStd' Q A A . , , - 1 .1 ,Q 7 I if f x ,U 8 A V if ' 4 'I , Q X .1 ' l w.
