Her Iife's blood would be supplied by the sweat and toil of hundreds of men. The Second World War was her legitimate parent, and freedom and justice her life's ambition. Born on the quay at William Cramp and Son Shipyards, Philadelphia, December 22,1944, OKLAHOMA CITY was similar Qto any youngster, a little uncoordinated but anxious to try her legs. At first sight she re- sembled a giant steel octopus with her twelve, six inch-47 caliber cannons and twelve, five inch-38 caliber dual purpose guns. In addition, she sprouted twenty-eight, 40 mm. and fourteen, 20 mm. anti-aircraft guns. But the gaudy looking child soon developed a pride and character of her own. The men who had nurtured her gave the ship poise and personality. After several Shakedown cruises, CL-91 was ready to join the Pacific Fleet. She passed through the Panama Canal and joined the U. S. THIRD Fleet on june 6, 1945. From there she saw limited action in the last few months of the war, participating in the Okinawa Campaign and the bombardment of japan. With the long awaited peace treaty, OK CITY had served her purpose and was inactivated, then decommissioned on june 30, 1 947. For ten years the OKLAHOMA CITY lay dormant with the Pacific Reserve Fleet. In May 1957, she was faced with new challenges, flagship and warship. Recommissioned September 7, 1960, at Hunter's Point as CLC-5, the USS OKLAHOMA CITY became the first combat unit of the Pacific Fleet to successfully fire a TALOS guided missile. With a new configuration and a new lease on life, OK CITY accepted the dual mission bestowed on her. Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, Today, in OKLAHOMA CITY's third tour with the SEVENTH Fleet, she still answers the calls of flagship and warship. Gunfire support missions are still a reality, and we are just as able and willing to answer the call as we were twenty-five years ago. As a good will ambassador, the OK CITY has carried the SEVENTH Fleet Flag to most major ports in the Western Pacific. OKLAHOMA CITY was conceived in war and dedicated to justice twenty-five years ago. Captain C. B. HUNT, her first Commanding Officer, ex- pressed his thought on this at the close of the war: The job of keeping peace is still ahead of us. The ship you commissioned, the work you did readying her for battle, and the spirit you imparted to her . . . . . md will continue as a force for peace, justice, and understanding among nations in order that your c i ren may never have to fight for liberty as we have had to. The years have changed. The cause of freedom has not. But, .... WE'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY .... KLRHOMA - E' mx, .bf . cw 5 S50 C' I f.

Food, fuel, and ammunition, the life blood of a Naval combatant, are received many times while we are at sea.

Composed of men with a variety of basic trades, this Division serves long hours, works with great pride, and continuously maintains a can-do attitude. V ,, , I 2 . I. E - V - ' ' , L I 1 1 1 1 w Third Division is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of the aft third of the ship. This includes the exterior of the missile house and the helo flight deck, which, needless to say, receives a lot of use. This work consumes most of the division's time since the erosion of an active ship is an ever present factor. Two evolutions which the division is responsible for is the rigging of the fantail awning for the many receptions, and manning the underway replenishment detail, for both refueling and rearming. Also Third Division has a utility boat for which it supplies coxwain's. Of the many watches the men stand fantail sentry, bridge, lifebouy, some of the most demanding are on the Gunline where they stand Port and Starboard in the mount and turret and stand anti-swimmer watches on the main deck. Third Division is fortunate to have outstanding Petty Officers, who have established a good rapport with the men and have kept morale at a constant high. Friendships have been established which will last forever. N.-' a mia ef. Front row L to R: D. Fischer BM2, M. Anthony BM3, A. Wade SN, VV. Fowler SN, E. Almazan SN, R. Whittemore SN, C.

Their primary task is the operation, testing, and maintenance of the MK 77 Missile Fire Control System and the Weapon Direction System MK2. The equipment provides tactical evaluation of target aircraft, radar tracking of the target aircraft, and guidance of the TALOS missile after launch. When on the gunIine OKLAHOMA CITY has little need for long range missile AAW defense. Therefore, many of the FT's from FM Division have been utilized in the gun battery as watchstanders during Condition ll Shore Bombardment. Several times the Condition Ill AA watch has been set while on Yankee Station, SAR, PIRAZ, and during the ship's assignment in the Sea of japan with Task Force 71 during the Korean EC-121 crisis. In addition to the normal duties aboard ship such as watchstanding, working parties, Shore Patrol etc., the FM Division provides as further service to the ship, whenever the ship's Marine Detachment disembarks for operations in the field, Division Petty Officers assume the role of Sergeant of the Guard, CO and XO orderlies, and Corporal of the Guard. . ...A...kau' .L....... rl 73 tlL..L.1L.

Today, the men of B division might still bg . . , . . h considered the black gang, since they still work down in the ship s hole in the grimy atmosp ere of the fuel Oil, heat, and moisture. Even though the conception of propulsion has changed from paddlewheels to f the modern black gang still remains to operate the ship's boilers to provide the power necessary to move the ship, and today, the power to run the ships service turbogeneratorg propellers, the basic task o and auxiliary equipment. On the Oklahoma City, B division comprises 56 men under the direction of CHMACH W2 R. A. MORRIS and leading CPO l. B. JONES. This black gang operates, maintains, and repairs the ship's four boilers and their fireroom auxiliaries, with the division's primary wor and the oil-water laboratory. Each fireroom is equippe , and fuel oil service pumps while the oil-water laboratory is the setting for the coordination of the testing and distribution of the ship's potable Cdrinkingb water, feed Cboilerj water a k centers being the forward and aft fireroomg d with 2 boilers main feed pumps, draft blowers nd fuel oil. Often underestimated, B division performs a difficult and uncomfortable job in a proficient and profes- sional manner that demands at the least a grudging respect for the black gang. dl lliEl?00lfl r 3 . , 1 i ' ' 4 ' .

Hermann FN Any ship requires a high degree of reliability from it's main propulsion plant. However, in a wartime situation, this reliability must become imperative so, for the main engines division of the Oklahoma City reliability has become its byword. ln coordination with A , B and E divisions, M division is responsible for propulsion of the ship and for the provision of electrical power and compressed air throughout the ship. Although these services are few in number, their vitalness is obvious. In a combat zone, the ability to answer all bells' is mandatory. lt is the responsibility of the approximately 50 men of M division to meet this demand. Specifically it is the task of these hardworking individuals to repair, maintain, and operate without fail the ship's four 25,000 horsepower engines, four 750 KW ship's service turbo-generators and four air compressors as Well as a substantial amount of ancillary equipment required to serve these major components of shipboard propulsion. Since the Oklahoma City's deployment to WestPac, it is encouraging to note that the reliability of the ship's main propulsion plant has increased significantly. This achievement has occurred only as a result of the efforts of all the personnel in the division, who, by working together constantly have become a smooth functioning unit.

Separately, E the interior communication systems aboard ship. Broken down, E division consists of 2 ratings: Electricians Mates EMS and Interior Communications Electricians ICS . The E division EM's are directly concerned with the operation and maintenance of equipment used to generate and distribute electric power. They are also involved with the upkeep of a myriad of lighting and power circuits throughout the ship. The IC-men maintain and repair IC systems, gyro compass systems, navigation systems, amplified and unamplified voice systems, alarm and warning systems, and related equipment. ln addition, it is E division's responsibility to provide personnel to operate and maintain the ship's movie projectors. In total, the E division responsibilities canvas a large amount of equipment spread throughout the ship.

Much as man strives to fabricate products that last indefinitely, he has been unable to accomplish this. So, it comes to pass that this products fall into disrepair and someone must be called upon to restore them. Such is the role of R division on the Oklahoma City, the role of trouble-shooter and repairman. Specifically R division fills the vital and wide-ranging functions of handling most of the mechanical and structural repairs aboard ship, along with maintaining the fireman, drainage, and flushing systems and insuring the damage control readiness and watertight integrity of the ship. ln this multi-faceted capacity, the division operates out of 4 main work centers, the metal shop, pipe shop, carpenter shop, and damage control shop. In the first three the personnel of R division mend and fabricate products varying from bookshelves to piping to sheet metal construction, indicating the broad spectrum of repair work done by the division. ,From the damage control shop, with coordination from DC Central, the D.C. gang directs its work toward the upkeep of all damage control equipment as well as maintenance of watertight fittings. This last is a job of foremost priority for the division, since watertight integrity and damage control readiness must be insured if the division is to be able to perform the necessary repairs after a battle or accident casualty. Ready for the worst, R division works to insure the worst never has a chance to occur. Front row left to right, D. Lackey SFM3, B. Toth SFP3, P. Mathews' DC3, L. Lozen FN, S. Arshan FN, W.

Each month an average of over 1200 requisitions are typed and submitted to logistic points aSh0f9 with the emphasis on timely reordering for stock. This, complimented by underway replenishments, is designed to have the required material on board when needed to preclude interruption of the sl1iP'5 mission. Additionally, vigorous follow up procedures are in effect to ensure receipt of required material prior I0 departure for sea. This enables the ship to operate without assistance from supply activities ashore IO' extended periods. This fact is emphasized by approximately 1600 issues made monthly from stock I0 the various ship's departments. Staffed with a division officer and 26 enlisted personnel, S-'i Division affords round the clock service to it's customers. One of the busiest divisions aboard ship, in port or at sea, the Storekeepers continualll' strive for a coveted WELL DONE for their efforts to provide the finest support service.

They are .I h d responsible for satisfying the gastronomical needs of over 1300 hungry Saiors every ay, The IIOK CITY KITCHENH is a favorite Spot for the crew where they expect four piping hot meals every day. The meals that are carefully prepared and served from the crew'5 galley are the most important morale boosters for the crew while at sea. A satisfied stomach and a healthy crew are the most important products a stewburner can turn out. Tasty bake shop and desert specialities are on the daily bill of fare and the cooks go all out for special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas meals when their expertise in decorating and garnishing is displayed with the entree. In order to provide such volume feeding, more than 300,000 pounds of dry, fresh, and frozen provisions are carried on board. Each at sea period, approximately 75 tons of provisions are loaded during VERTREP evolutions. This enables the ship to continue extended at sea periods without returning to port.

Meysenburg DK2, I. Dunn SN S-I DIVISION The Disbursing Office is perhaps the most popular personal services office on the ship. Disbursing personnel maintain approximately 1400 pay records representing the pay accounts of OK City's officers and enlisted personnel, COMMANDER SEVENTH FLEET and his staff, the Marine Detachment and occassional TAD personnel. On a normal payday the paymasters distribute some 180,000. But pay is not their only service. These bankers of the fleet also take care of per diem, dependents travel claims, and a myriad of other things which affect the sailor's pocket book. The division consists of one officer, a chief and four enlisted men. The busiest day in the Disbursing Office, other than payday, is the day the ship returns to her homeport. The arrival and departure of numerous personnel plus sudden desperate needs for funds finds the DKs spending long hours helping their shipmates. Personal service is their business and everyone aboard has benefited from their talent and consideration. ' . - -- 1 '-s--- - -. -,-.w.-V.h.W.-.N--,f,.'..i.-if-..-.r.Aq.'.V-,-r. ,.-.

The Radarmen are highly important to the combat readiness of the ship. An enemy can be engaged only after he is detected, and the ship's ability to detect an airborne or surface enemy depends upon the alertness and skill of her Radarmen. The Radarmen are on the job around the clock performing functions in navigation, communica- tions, early warning, electronic warfare, naval gunfire support coordination, and a variety of other necessary functions. They keep a continuous and current plot on all air and surface contacts and disseminate pertinent information concerning these expeditiously and precisely, to other areas of the ship and other units. The Operations Intelligence Oli Division of the OKLAHOMA CITY does this job with the utmost endeavor and distinction, and have earned the big green iefficiencyf E to prove it.

From ordinary radio receivers and transmitters to radar systems, weather satellite receivers, and ionispheric sounders. From ordinary electron tube circuits to transistorized and integrated cirCUilS- To accomplish this maintenance the division is organized into three groups. The Radar Group maintains the radars and electronic navigation systems which are the eyes of the ship seeing through bad weather and looking for possible threats. The Communications Group maintains the receivers and transmitterS which are essential to OKLAHOMA CITY and COMSEVENTHFLT in their need to talk with other ships and commands. The Test Equipment Group operates a repair and calibration facility capable of servicing 9070 of the electronic test equipment on board. On other ships this job is done by tenders and rapair faCiliIlf?5' There have also been occasions when the Test Equipment Group has done hi-fi and stereo work.

From underway to moored, one can always look to the O4 level and find the eyes of the ship . Throughout all weather conditions their job is to guide the ship through the dangers ahead, liaisons between command and the complex electronic functions of CIC. OL division not only stands lookout watches, but designated personnel are assigned to stand watches at CIC. This provides a broader understanding of the underway functions of the OKLAHOMA CITY, than watch standers in other divisions have the opportunity to experience. Sometimes known as 4th Division, OL division has the responsibility for three passageways, and two weatherdecks. Probably the most scrutinized working space on the ship is the Admiral's Passageway . This space houses the Commander SEVENTH Fleet, his Chief of Staff, and at times, the Commanding Officer of the OKLAHOMA CITY. The upkeep and appearance of this space is constantly observed by foreign dignitaries in the ships good will visits to foreign ports. The men of OL division are a proud group. Whether standing their watches or swabbing the deck, they are proud to be serving their country on board the USS OKLAHOMA CITY. +- Wm ' 2 1 .

Brogan QMCS Adams The Navigation Department is responsible, under the direction of the Commanding Officer, for the safe navigation and piloting of the ship and for the upkeep of all navigational equipment. Comprised of a dozen men and two officers, the department must be aware of any navigational hazards that might endanger the safety of the ship. This requires a knowledge of the ship's position and the areas of navigatable waters at all times. ln addition to standing routine watches on the quarterdeck, bridge, and in after-steering, the department provides qualification requirements for helmsmen and lee helmsmen and a training program for junior officers in the art of navigation and ship handling. In brief: The Ouartermasters and Officers of the Navigation Department stand ready to plot the course of Oklahoma City along the shore of Vietnam or in the harbor of San Diego.

This division is responsible for all staff surface transportation including driving for the Admiral and Chief of Staff. At sea the primary job of the division is maintenance of the Admiral's Barge and the Chief of Staff's Gig by protecting them from the elements and keeping them in top-notch running condition at all times for use during port calls. In the home port of Yokosuka the duty drivers keep on the move driving the Admiral, Chief of Staff and Staff Officers around the Yokosuka-Tokyo area, while the rest of the division is busy getting the boats ready for another cruise. The division also stands War Room messenger vvatches, assists the Flag Office in collecting and mailing various publications and provides personnel during UNREPS to load provisions and ammu- nition. 1 s i 1 I 4 I 4 w 1 1 ruin rustic zirraiiis Whether it'S D'i0V'fl l24 'TTUW7 lm' llffflilli 'ii Mi mam, xxiitiiig spur r r. P. lor the Fleet Commander, taking pictures tor the cruise book, or writing the Flt'et's history, the COMSEVFNTHFLT Public Attairs Division is a potpourri ot activity. The name of the game is promoting understanding and good Will betvveen the Fleet and the general public, and the division does this largely through people-to-people programs and by dealing with nexvsmen. In foreign ports, Flag PAO arranges the Fleet Commander s press conferences, calls, and myriad details that make successtul visits. The 17 piece Seventh Fleet Band performs everything from martial music to jazz in public Concert, The so-called Battle Band puts rhythm into underway replenishments and sometimes visits Vietnam and hospital ships to entertain troops. The Fleet Historian writes a running history of the Seventh Fleet, and eight photographers mates shoot photo-features and other otiicial pictures, processing, and printing them on board. If the Seventh Fleet ever had a smile, Flag PAO put it there. cs nivisinit y 1 A3 1- l 3 Wi 1 . ,. yi Front row L to R: W. Stater SA, D. Grinnell SM3, T, Pattavina SM3, R. Million SM1, A.

In 1797 Captain Thomas Truxtun devised a system employing flags that was published as a signal book. That system is basically the same today. Nothing has been developed to replace visual signaling, because when the nearness of an enemy dictates radio silence, there is nothing else, Using a 12 inch incandescent light the SM can signal as far as the horizon. With an infra-red system Called NANCY he can signal with no light visible to the naked eye. Language is F10 Pfoblemf Wlth a fixed code the SM can signal in seven languages including Russian code. The SM is an authority on The display of Ensigns, personal flags and honors and ceremonies. He is well versed in radiotelephone DVOcedure and international distress signals. 24 hours a day regardless ol' weather, the SM is virtually the eyes of the ship.

These men operate sophisticated equipment that provides a continuous stream of information to and from higher and lower echelons of command. The division is comprised of Radiomen, Communications Yeomen, and Data Systems Technicians who handle such diverse assignments as teletype circuit operator, transmitter operator, circuit, and system controllers. Not the least of their assignments is the operation and maintenance of a computerized Message Processing and Distribution System. This prototype system provides a means for rapid message handling within the flagship and is the only such system in the fleet today. There are eight communication spaces on the ship. The hulo of operations is the Main Com- munications Center. It is here that hundreds of messages are transmitted and received daily and that instant communications link the flagship with headquarters ashore and other commanders and ships in the SEVENTH Fleet. The CR Division is organized into watch sections to insure top talent is on the job twenty-four hours a day providing vital communications at-sea and in-port.

One of the most impressive being the basketball team with such laudits as the championship in the Seventh Fleet Christmas tournament and victories over the USS Long Beach, USS Constellation, and Hong Kong International School. Another outstand- ing team is the pistol team led by Lt. Nichols and Chief Kemmering, which never lost a match. The volleyball team was led by Lt. Seufer and enjoyed themselves immensely. Two of the more exciting games were in Otaru, japan. The golf team had an opport- unity to play some of the best courses in S 't F the Far East, which pleased LCDR Dunn and LTJG Speights tremendously. The softball team was coached by LTlG's Dean and Shreve and had an exciting VVestPac tour with such memories as representing the USA in an international tournament in Hong Kong and being stranded in Da Nang attempting to go to the ComNavForjapan tournament.

Fleet Activities Complex, Yokogukg YOKOSUKA, IAPAN Our Home Port For many of us it meant a return to families and loved ones, for others, it was merely a return to a port more familiar than most, In either case we were always anxious to tie-up and hit the beach. Our japanese friends always made us feel welcome. Whether at home, steaming on Honcho Street, at the Club Alliance, O-Club, or enjoying the other facilities of the Navy Base we all found pleasure in YOKOSUKA. J!
