V s l People to People The Oklahoma City is not only a command ship and a warship, but she is also a people ship-concerned with making and keeping friends throughout the Western Pacific. When Oklahoma City pulls into a foreign port for a visit, officers and crewmembers reach out together to help the needy. Projects such as repainting schools, residing an orphanage, or patching walls in classrooms are typical of the volunteer work done. These people-to-people projects give port visits a bit more of a human factor. Many crewmembers find a side of a particular people that they didn't know existed. Even though language is sometimes a barrier, one look from a child's eyes can surpass any amount of words. The Oklahoma City also sponsors tours, both in foreign ports and in her homeport of Yokosuka, encouraging people to come aboard and become familiar with the ship. She sponsors an annual Christmas party for the Kobo Cottage Orphanage in Hayama, Japan and recently has sponsored an orphan through high school. X if , , 'I L From the bake shop to the weather decks to the signal bridge-each day is filled with the activity that makes Oklahoma City operate. Each person fulfilling his duty, each functioning as part of the whole make up the daily routine at sea. Oklahoma City is a city only 610 feet long with 1300 people- it takes a group effort and a spirit of cooperation. 1 in .. . '55 f I Q V 3 , I . , 5-E fa. .A tl fn?

All per- sonnel move as rapidly as possible to their designated positions, hatches and portholes are closed fast and Oklahoma City buttons up for safety. Most of the time the alarm is only a drill, but a necessary drill to keep a high standard of operational readiness in case of attack, fire at sea or some other unforeseen disaster. df? vb F 0111 lu h 1? -ffl l , X--ww , N K Y V i an Q g , N NAVAL GUNFIRE SUPPORT p i 4 ,fl ' . ,-I 3 r During rearming, the crew takes on more ammunition from supply ships. Replenishing a full load of ammunition while underway requires about 300 men. The projectiles, weighing over 100 pounds, and the powder cases, weighing up to 70 pounds, must be loaded and stacked by hand. Q 'P lv , -4...-5 - il ..f 'L -1 Nm lt takes a team effort to meet gunfire operation schedules. Re- ceiving radio spotters' reports, plot- ting targets, loading the guns and replenishing takes long hours of preparation and hard work. In periods of bad visibility, targets are pinpointed through in- formation from Oklahoma City's computer. The correct coordinates are relayed to the gun crew, which makes the necessary adjustments for taking aim before squeezing the trigger which finally sends the pro- jectile on its way to the target. SWF qw I i POLLYWOGS BECOME The Oklahoma City crossed the Equator on November 17, 1971 en route to Singapore. After two days of boisterous activities, about 750 pollywogs became trusty shellbacks, having been duly initiated into the solemn mysteries of the deep. Crossing the Line ceremonies are among the most ancient of naval traditions. Since antiquity, seafaring men have used the occasion of crossing some significant sea frontier to test the worthiness of inexperienced seamen. Typical modern Crossing the Line consists of considerably less physical abuse than in bygone days. But shillalahs, fire hoses and garbage chutes are still part of the fun.

Trans- portation is coordinated and visits scheduled for the many high-ranking American and foreign military and civilian visitors to SEV- ENTH Fleet units. The office monitors and gives guidance for transfers and assignment of SEVENTH Fleet personnel. Of particular significance in this area is the Drug Information Team which travels through- out the SEVENTH Fleet presenting deployed units with the legal and health hazards as- sociated with drug use in WESTPAC. The largest single area of responsibility for Nl is the FleetAwards Program. The Secretary of the Navy has delegated authority to award the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Ser- vice Medal, the Air Medal, the Navy Com- mendation Medal and the Navy Achievement Medal.

PHCTOLAB AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS The SEVENTH Fleet Public Affairs Office develops and promulgates Navy public affairs policy and procedures to SEVENTH Fleet subordinate commands. These widerang- ing policies are aimed at informing the public at home and abroad, informing the Navy family and maintaining good news media relations. As the Navy's largest overseas fleet, SEVENTH Fleet is charged with patrolling seas covering almost one-fifth of the earth's surface. ln this capacity, it is an instrument of U.S. foreign policy. The mission of SEVENTH Fleet PAO is to tell the Navy story in a clear, factual manner in order to facilitate the American public's understanding of the role and capabilities of SEVENTH Fleet in the Western Pacific. The Public Affairs Division does this largely through full co operation with the news media photo features produced by its assigned photographers and journalists and official news releases 'HHH First row: W.

However since on-duty boat crews are not always needed, there are other duties assigned. When at sea, the Boat Pool's duties are split into three areas: taking care of the boats, standing Command Center messen- ger watches, and maintenance of the Flag head and passageway. When in homeport, Boat Pool members are SEVENTH Fleet Staff drivers. Occasionally, Boat Pool personnel may rotate, staying in homeport for a cruise to work for the SEVENTH Fleet Dependents Assistance Team located on base Yoko- suka, Japan.

FLAG BAND lf music is the international language, the seventeen members of the SEVENTH Fleet band are linguists of the first order. With a repertoire which runs the gamut of musical taste, from spirited marches to contemporary popular music, the band has played in just about every friendly country in the Western Pacific. As the official band of Commander SEV- ENTH Fleet, the group logs some 60,000 miles each year aboard the command ship USS Okla- homa City. Public performances and people-to- people concerts take up most of the group's time in foreign ports. At sea, rehearsals are daily but the hours are trying as practice is between 10 P.M. and 3 A.M., the only time their studio , the ship's library, is not in use by the crew. There are performances at sea, too. The band often plays for unreps -underway replenish- ments-where food, supplies and fuel are trans- ferred from other ships. A little music helps to lighten spirits, if not the loads of the working parties who unpack and store the material. , FV 'wr' First row: R. Fair, G. Newell, J. Brown, D. l-lelpler. Pierce, L.

MATisoo NAVIGATION The mission of the Navigation Department is to provide for the safe and effective navigation of the ship. The tasks of the Naviga- tion Department include the con- tinual and accurate plotting of the ship's course and position, recommending courses to steer, and the procurement and main- tenance of navigational charts, publications and equipment. Navigation undenfvay main- tains a plot watch--keeping close tabs on the Oklahoma City's position, course and speed --and keeps a chronological re- cord of events occurring during each watch. ln port the Navigation Depart- ment is responsible for all honors and ceremonies from the quarter- deck. 143 LT B.

HEXT L---f ' sl 'P ' 3' fr-- l.l Iii COMMUNICATIONS The Communications Department comprises CR lradiol and CS lsignallingl Divisions. CR Division, consisting of Flag allowance and ship's company radiomen, communications yeomen and data sys- tems technicians, provides Commander SEVENTH Fleet with a vital communications link to any geographical location in the world. More importantly, these men and the complex array of equipment they operate are the Voice of Command. With its operational center in Main Communica- tions, CR Division, supervised by a Communica- tions Watch Officer and Chief of the Watch, processes a steady flow of messages between the fleet commander and his subordinate units. Data systems technicans maintain a sophisticated com- puterized Message Processing and Distribution System lMPDSl-a big help in handling the large volume of message traffic. Radiomen and com- munications yeomen operate voice and teletype circuits, operate transmitters and monitor circuit control systems. Older forms of naval signalling are handled by the men of CS Division. Working high above the other working spaces of Oklahoma City, the signalmen specialize in a form of nautical com- munications as old as the Navy itself: close-in visual signalling-secure, rapid, effective. Equally adept at sending and receiving messages and recognizing signals by flashing light, semaphor and flaghoist, the signalmen are also familiar with passing honors to other ships and boats and the proper display of ensigns and personal flags during salutes and personal and national honors. ln addition, and of equal importance, are the lookout capabilities of Oklahoma City signalmen. Using high-powered telescopes and binoculars, the signal gang is able to look, recognize and make positive identification of any ship or aircraft within visual range. Objects in the water, such as buoys and lifecraft, and low flying aircraft just above the water are often beyond electronic detection capa- bility, so the eyes of Oklahoma City signalmen prove invaluable. 145 4 Lf., Fw y,,., . ? ,, 12.1 ti 1 4 J' f as 1- f f -.Q 4: 4 YU t i 1 2 CR DIVISION 4 Iwi , L P 1 , . 5 1 f.g'.,fs.

MICHE LS MEDICAL AND DENTAL The primary mission of the Medical Department is to maintain the health of the officers and men embarked. Through daily routine and emergency visits, up to 1000 sick call visits are registered monthly. A 10-bed ward is available, and fully qualified techni- cians provide laboratory, X-ray and electrocardiographic services. A phar- macy technician dispenses 700-800 prescriptions each month from among 200 different drug items in stock. All personnel in the Medical Depart- ment are trained to provide any service needed in time of emergency. The Dental Department provides the crew with the best possible dental treatment. In order to accomplish this objective, the department has a dentist, two dental technicians and a trainee, who use the most modern dental equip- ment. An important function of Medical and Dental is conducting an extensive preventive medicine program through lectures to all hands.

Primarily a service division, most of its time and manpower are centered around the provisions of hotel services on the command ship. Enginemen, machinist mates and machinery repairmen struggle together to maintain installed air condition- ing and heating systems. Associated with these services, A Division also maintains all refrigeration equipment, scuttlebutts and laundry and galley equipment. A well-equipped machine shop run by this division provides technical assitance and fabricates needed parts for myriad used throughout the ship. An evaporator gang provides water to feed the boiler and quench the crew's thirst while at Sea. 'QI riIY 91' ' 4 ' 1 I1 Q -W I is . in-q ' us' L First row: B, Keeling, M, Gonzales, T. Whetsel, B.

Almost every operation aboard ship, routine or emergency, requires electric power for its accomplishment. A ship that has lost electric power has lost her capability as a fighter. ElVls are directly concerned with the operation and maintenance of the equipment used to gen- erate and distribute power circuits and equipment throughout the ship. The size and complexity of Oklahoma City require that a great amount of circuitry be devoted to the transmission of information from remote locations to various command centers within the ship. The maintenance and repair of this circuitry is the main function of the lCmen. This covers everything from the sound-powered phones to the voice tube bell circuit, from the latest gyro com- pass systems to closed circuit television with a vast array of equipment in between. ffl Row One W Crawford D Gozdecki Fi Delgreco, D.

While at sea, this amounts to the preparation and serving of over 2200 meals per day, a big job requiring the efforts of over 20 cooks and more than 45 messmen. Oklahoma City has her own bake shop on board which produces fresh bread, rolls, and pastries. S-2 Division recognizes the important part food plays in the morale of the crew and makes every effort to provide a wide variety of dishes that will satisfy every appetite. ln this vein, the Food Service Division has established a series of Inter- national Nights where various cultures are spotlighted and national dishes are pre- sented to the crew. Another popular innovation has been Beefeater's Night. Normally held on Sunday evenings, this night's menu will normally consist of steamship round or prime rib of beef. any 35 N. 1 I I L First row: G. Martinez, H. Flosales. D- Tucker, S. Up a 45 dike M.

They are the Weapons Control Station, the MK 111 Fire Control Computer, the AN!SPG49 Tracking!Acquisition radars and their control modules, and the ANXSPW-2 guidance radars and their control module. The focal point of the entirety of the Talos missile system is the weapons control station. Here target informa- tion is processed by an array of radar display! decision consoles and disseminated to the rest of the system. From here missiles are brought onto the Talos launcher and fired. Once a target has been designated to the system by weapons control the giant SPG-49A radars go out on the threat bearing to track their targets. Target information is then relayed to the MK lil computer which solves the Fire Control problem of interception within seconds Once a solution is available the SPW 2 guidance radars are enabled to direct Talos to intercept QC S nd Row: R.
