N. Pierozzi, USN Commanding Ciiicer LTJG SA. Mamikonian, USNR Cruise Book Editor Jia, W1 X 9 Moa' in g 1 I 391 jp Q'-iwfis HISTGRY or THE USS RANKIN USS RANKIN lLKA-1031, named for Rankin County, Mississippi, was built in Wilmington, North Carolina, and later converted into an attack cargo ship at the Charleston, North Carolina, Naval Shipyards. She was first commissioned on 24 Feb- ruary 1945 at the Boston Naval Shipyards. During her brief year of service during WW II, RANKIN was part of the Pacific Fleet. After the war, she was decommissioned and placed in the Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, California. On 22 March, 1952 RANKIN was recommis- sioned and ioined the Atlantic Fleet with her homeport in Norfolk, Virginia. During the first eight years following her recommissioning, RAN- KIN won the Battle Efficiency E six times, five of which were consecutive years, thus entitling her to display the Gold E , She was the first ship in the Atlantic Fleet to be so honored. In October 1962, upon the discovery of Rus- sian lntermediate-range ballistic missles in Cuba, RANKIN was part of the Amphibious Force of the Atlantic Fleet, which marshalled near Cuban waters and was prepared for any eventuality. In February 1963, RANKIN, with Amphibious Squadron Ten and components of the Second , . . - - - A Marine Battalion, ,visited Sfxntoidigirrajixrago fosffyvlaa 'Enaargurafrion ofiitigieifirst elected President ofiti-ue Dominican Repuibiicig 'ar their alert role on this occasion the RANliSNreceived commendationsfrom Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. In April of that same year, as a result of the unstable political situation in Haiti, the ship proceeded directly to a position off Haiti and patrolled in the Gulf of Gonave for a period of thirty-one days until ten- sions eased. During Squadron exercises in April of 1965, RANKIN took part in the Domincan Republic crisis. Arriving off the coast of Santo Domingo, RANKIN and other ships of Squadron Ten commenced the mass embarkation and evacuation of over 1,000 U. S. civilian nationals and refugees. As a result of this successful amphibious operation, all per- sonnel of the RANKIN were awarded the Navy Unit Commendation by the Secretary of the Navy. In October of 1966 the RANKIN was called upon to render relief to the disaster area of Cayes-Jacmel Haiti, after Hurricane Inez caused massive damage to the island. Men of the RANKIN unloaded tons of food, medical and building sup- plies tothe stricken people. After her regular overhaul period in 1967, RANKIN returned to operations in the Atlantic and Caribbean with Amphibious Squadron Ten. Deployed to the Caribbean from March to July 1968, RANKIN visited San Juan, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Panama, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Aruba, and Jamaica. ln August 1968, RANKIN participated in Riv- erine 68. This exercise was designed to demon- strate to Marine and Naval Forces the latest methods of combating iungle warfare. In November 1968, RANKIN was reassigned to Amphibious Squadron Four. In December 1968, RANKIN participated in the Apollo 8 Moon Shot as a secondary recovery ship operating sourth of Bermuda. In January 1969, RANKIN deployed south to the Caribbean for two months of intensive opera- tions and then returned to Norfolk to prepare for the Mediterranean cruise. The RANSGN is 459 feet long and has Q beam of 64 feet. Fully loaded, she dispiczces 31300 tons with u mean :lrczft of about feel. S-he has n maxi- mum speed of lb knots and a cruising range of nearly i7,Gif!i'i miles. Carge is carried in seven holds equipped with four 35 ian beams. Almost ali cargo aombei loaded. This means that it as feaded in zazcordaavze with premranged 323255, suzh th-rztwhcfn it is off loader! in ci, amphibi a-.rs assault, it willbe .placed :whore ready for combat and in the order that will be required by the troops. As a result of combat loading, however the RANKIN is generally completely loaded by volume but lightly loaded by weight in comparison with non combat cargo ships. RANKIN's main battery consists of sixteen land- ing craft carried on deck over the cargo holds and in welin davits on either side of the ship. These boats carry personnel and equipment through surf and on to the beach where the ramps are lowered and troops and equipment debark. Once the first wave of men and equipment has landed, amphibious operations do not end. The troops so landed are ill-equipped to do more than gain a foothold. The cargo deep in the holds of the RANKIN and other attack cargo ships is needed by the troops to keep the attack going and insure ultimate success in the operation. The need to work around the clock is impera- tive. The crews of the attack cargo ship settle down to unremitting hours of backbreaking work. These are times when the greatest skill and team- work are required from both hatch crews and boat crews. Bad weather may cause the ship to roll and pitch, creating hazards for the crew who are faced with the problems of placing heavy vehicles, am- munition and other supplies into bobbing landing craft. As can be surmised from the foregoing, duty of the RANKIN, or any other attack cargo ship, is not glamorous. It is simply hard work, sometimes dangerous and usually prolonged in the support of combat troops. Neither the ship nor its crew seek out the enemy, but the enemy sometimes seeks them out. Then they must man the ship's 5 38 caliber gun, and the four twin 40 millimeter anti-aircraft mounts. Such being the story of an attack cargo ship, a ship devoid of the prodigious equipment, the capabilities, comforts and conveniences of more modern ships, she, nevertheless, has been able to attain and possess awards which are the envy of all ships.

O. during MED ll 69. Being Executive Officer of a fairly large ship as the RANKIN is a difficult and at times ennervating billet. There is a multitude of items and affairs to handle, reams of paperwork, and varied func- tions to attend. lt is a credit to LCDR BURKE that the details of the entire cruise were accomplished without a hitch. His dedication to duty and his aggressive attitudes rubbed off on the entire crew, who patterned their actions and conduct on his brilliant example of the naval professional. LCDR BURKE will leave the RANKIN sometime after our return to the United States. With him go our best wishes and respect for our X.

ANSPACH First Lieutenant Under the able leadership and guidance of Lieutenant Jack Anspach, USN, the Deck Department of the USS RANKIN fulfilled its mission on the cruise brilliantly. The Department consists of the three Deck divisions: lst, 2nd, and 3rd and the Gunnery division. To- gether they won for the command the Assault Boat Award fSecond Consecutive Awardl and the Gunnery E for the guns. They also scored high in many competitive exercises, such as underway transfer, man- overboard drills, and cargo-handling. The nature of the ship and its mission is such that this Department is the heart of the RANKIN. The loading and off-loading of combat cargo and its delivery to the assault beaches are of paramount impor- tance for the LKA. Lt. Anspach brought to bear his many years of experience in the Navy to enable the Department to fulfill its duties thoroughly and safely during the deployment. He supervised some of the more tense and difficult moments of the operations with foresight and calm, providing the whole ship with a sense of pur- pose and of getting the iob done right.

Wall BMCM LTJG William Thompson lst Division Officer Chief of the Ship From the forecastle to the superstructure, from the top of the 'A' frame to the bottom of number three hold are the boun- b ard the RANKIN In charge of these spaces are twenty-three of the hardest dries which encompass First Division spaces a o . working men on the ship. Their efforts throughout the entire cruise during both scheduled and unscheduled evolutions enhan- ced the success of MED IIX69. When the work was tough, they were tougher, working together as a team and always accom- plishing their goal. Let's take a closer look at this undaunted team and their impressive lineup. ' ' l' l b t ver L adin the backfield was BMCM Wall. When anything needs an answer, ask Chief Wall. He knows a itt e a ou e y- 9 9 thing and a lot about the Navy. BMT Legg, leading petty officer of the division, could be a friend if needed, a slave driver when necessary and a leader all the time. Next was our friendly, fearless boom-saver BM2 Handy-Andy Anderson. A- . . . I h nother addition we received from the USS MOUNTRAIL and a worthy one was BM2 Griffith, a hard charger but a litt e on t e ' ' h ' d th cruise so much and skinny side. BM2 Sitte in charge of the Boastwains Locker, extended for another six years e enloye e especially Mr. Anspach's shipping-over lectures. And, of course our two junior petty officers who did an outstanding iob throughout the cruise gaining experience and abosrbing knowledge for future use. They are BM3 Ho-Dat Korb, and BM3 Leave me alone, Legg Thompson. Now that we have seen the backfield of this allpro team, et s a e a 0 out on deck. The Bobsy Twins, Szweda and Valiante are skipping along the deck harassing people while Muhammed Ali . . . , . lb ',, K' ' the situation while talking with Mouth Bishop. Rounding the paint locker, the Twins run into Big A er ing sizes up Blissitt and Not Me Sharpnack discussing the latest world political crisis. ln the tree are Nose Miller and his brother Don Juan Miller of Pittsburgh fame, Steadying the load on deck is the baby bull, Bobo Bowen being assisted by Georgia Peach Prince. Meanwhile, in the gear locker Lips Cleveland is belting out a tune while the Karate Kid Poole is throw- ' ' ' ' ' h e of soa and in hands in perfect rhythmn. Below decks our Headman Costello is instructing Tex Davis in t e proper us p 9 water on the body, while nearby the Italian barber, a former First Division graduate, Pisano is giving Bertonaschi a Flatbush I ' t k l ok at the meaty line, as we see them one day flat top special. Finally, a flash from the past, as rumors are heard thot Costar is alive in California studying law enforce- ment, and Danny Mallek is considering reenlisting if he can only work for Sitte again. With a group like this, it is easy to see why First Division performed so competently during the Cruise. lt is also under- standable why their Division Officer spent so much time hiding in his stateroom. The one remaining question, of course, as we walk away from First Division spaces is Will the'Nose' ever pass his Sea- man Test? fy v, . 2 , it ff J?

Young BMI Second Division Officer THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF SAILORS ON THE RANKIN: THOSE WHO AREIN SECOND DIVISION AND THOSE WHO WISH THEY WEREIN SECOND DIVISION. Deck Department's Sec- ond Division works the booms and hatches in the after part of the ship. Their responsibil- ities also include the boat booms for tying up the ship's boats and the two capstans on the fantail. Morris Thompson BM3 Through hard and patient work the men of Second Division have become an efficient and experienced team, working together on any of their varied tasks, whether it be unloading cargo or refueling at sea. During this deployment Second Division's hatch crews took part in the setting of a record time for LKA s achieved by the RANKIN for lowering all boats into the water. During General Quarters the Division mans the ship's five inch dual purpose gun, RANKIN'S main gun bat- tery. Under the able control of the Second Division Leading Petty Officer, Boatswain's Mate First Class Billy R. Young, who serves as the Mount Captain, the crew of Mount SI has won the Battle Efficiency E Award for their deadly accur- WMI acy. Second Division typifies the RANKIN spirit of Ready Now by their skills and pre- paredness for their many du- ties.

This responsibility includes driving these sixteen landing craft and it also includes the never-ending task of trying to make the work horses of the AMPHlBs look like show horses through the use of paint brushes and gallons of haze gray and white paint. At the start of the MED 2-69 Cruise, Third Division had only a few old timers with the maiority of the 36 men a bunch of rookies from boot camp . The big question when we got underway on July 22 was how were we going to make all our boat commitments? The answer came through hard studying and many many hours of Hon the iob training . Gradually the rookies became old salts and Rankin's Boot Group successfully carried out their mission through 5 maior Ship-To-Shore Operations transporting hundreds of Marines and thousands of tons of equipment. We had another goal to achieve during MED 2-69. This goal was to qualify for the Assault Boat Award for the third con- secutive year. lt was to be attempted at Timbakion, Crete. Our first practice landing was a complete disaster. The surf was so rough that we could not practice hitting the beach and retracting. The second practice met with the same results. By now one would have thought that Third Division should have been down in the dumps. The third attempt was for grade and it turned out iust beautiful. The Boat Group came through and made a great show. As a result of hard work, pride and the desire to do the best iob possible, Third Division returned to Norfolk qualifying for the Amphibious Force Assault Boat Award. T, , f,,f'5l. agp.

For the men of Fourth Division, the cruise was quite satisfying. The Gunnery exercises were frequent, the targets varied, and as time passed, the Gun Crews, through hard work, schooling from Gunners Mates and Mount Captains, and actual practice, improved constantly. Equipment failures were also few and far between. The grade on the Administrative Inspection was high and the ORI brought the best day of the deployment when all tour 40MM mounts and two 40MM gun directors qualified for the White Weapons E award for a period of one year.

RHODES J if Operations Officer ssiis W. i ,Nw 'lMr. Rhodes at the CONN The inevitable pencil-pushing Lieutenant Robert Dusty Rhodes heads the Operations Department of the RANKIN. He always has his fingers in everything that goes on, like an outstanding Ops Boss should. His domain includes the Radiomen, the Radarmen, the Signals Gang and the Electronics Technicians. Leading this group of intelligent workers is no easy task, but Mr. Rhodes knows how to handle the Department efficiently. His men have won the Communications Green C and the Radarmen hold the E for their division. During the cruise the Radiomen kept the communications capabilities of the RANKIN at a high level, while the Signalmen provided smart and precise tactical signaling, the envy of the whole squadron. The Radarmen worked around the clock to maintain the alert watch for contacts, friend and foe. Last, but not least, the ETS were always there to fix the electronic equipment when any of it failed. RANKIN is by no means the youngest LKA, but its Ops Department is up to par with any modern warship, and this is because of Mr. Rhodes and his young warriors. 18 Wt-g., ' -, , - .'

Their duties and responsi- bilities are varied, but are mainly concerned with the gathering and dissemenation of combat infor- mation. Gathering of combat information and dissemen- ation of evaluated information to command, to con- trol stations, and to those units or commands which are concerned with the current tactical situation are the maior responsibilities of the CIC team. These actions are accomplished by receiving in CIC all information from the following sources: radar, visual means, radio, oporders, and tactical and intelligence publications. It is Ol divisions responsibility to see that the radar is operating properly, loolcouts are trained, and all operation orders and tactical pub- lications are lzept up to date. During normal underway steaming, the primary function of the CIC watch is to plot the movements of unidentified surface craft in order to allow the bridge watch ample time to take action, if any, to avoid collision at sea. CIC also assists in the piloting of the ship when entering and leaving port, and when anchoring. During low visibility, the responsi- bilities of these functions increase greatly. Finally, CIC may be called upon to vector and control boats heading to and from the beach during an assault landing. 23 M ' 1 4 W if 4 , J ff 'V f Z ? 7 W' V .-yylif X 1 ff fff 4 .- f , Paul Federer RD3 X . n ,fa.,E'2 . ff 1 Of, L., 'V O4 We ' 'Jizz ff f 7X W 9 ,ff f X f M X X X , Z i f X f ,1 fxf W--Q X ff, A 7, X 1 X fff J f, J 4 , W X Roger Grafenstein R fx Ziff, I .

Hidden in the bowels of the ship, its personnel seldom, it ever, come topside tor a look at the sun and some fresh air. Living like morlocks, they main- tain and repair every bit ol machinery that keeps RANKIN afloat, moving and habitable. The Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Charles English, keeps the 24-year old ship in good shape, ready lor any movement or eventuality. That he has done an outstanding iob is attested by the tact that RANKIN sustained no significant engineering breakdown or casualty during the tive months we spent in the Mediterranean. Engineering is divided, logically, into tive divi- sions: Auxiliaries, Boilers, Machinery, Electrical, and Repair. B and M take care ot the engines and boilers to move us, A covers all the ancillary machines, such as internal combustion engines, E worries about electricity and wiring, and R does the welding, car- pentry and maintains damage control gear. Snipes are often the objects ot derision, but on the RANKIN they hold a special place, torthey give the ship its lite and its blood through their patience and diligence to their duties. To you tor your hard efforts. . .thanks lor a great iobl 25 'lm if K 5' xx T. ll i t T - - x . A l si lb LTJG James Fahrenthold p Auxilianes Officer l an The 'iEternal Screw A Division is one of five Engineering Department divisions composed of IB men lone chief engineman, six second class enginemen, three third class enginemen, and eight firemenj whose work center is located in the ship's boat shop. The primary responsibility of A Division personnel is the maintenance, operation, repair, and cleanliness of the Ran- kins 28 diesel engines which include one General Motors 8-268-A emergency diesel generator, two Buda emergency diesel fire pumps, one gig engine, and 24 General Motors 6-7l LCM, LCVP, and LCPL boat engines. During amphibious assault landings boat engine repairs often range from replacing belts or minor adiustments lby the embarked engine- manj to making complete engine overhauls on board the ship. Other A gang responsibilities include the mechanical condition of the ship's after steering, vehicles, and deck op- erated equipment including winches, davits, and the anchor windlass. In addition THE division maintains the auxiliary steam system for the ship's galley, laundry, scullery, and steam heating. With all of these responsibilities in mind, it can be readily seen why the engineman have the largest quantity of planned maintenance systems TPMSJ requirements of any rating on the ship. Yet, delays in the Mediterranean deployment operations because of failure of A Division equipment were non-existant iwould you believe minimal?l, a tribute to the hardest working division on the Rankin. r , ,. 1,7 ,r ,, . 4 rf' ' ,. , f . fmsw, f ! ,!I, , f if ,, ,I I 1 ,ff KW Dewitt Wright ENI ., 'XX , s V ' X-Hsin' R Qui X Q 1 ., ,wrffw-1 X ,Tig , ff ., M K -X K . , ' 5 4 ff , , New x f if X V f , A , , if-W W c . , f X We -. 1 Q ..., 11 lr .- J0hn Burke EN2 William Burnett EN2 Eugene Nichols EN2 Stephen Nichols EN2 Dewey Sloan 26 ft 5 ' 'bs- . 2 5, 5i:'n6Y 5 fl:-Q i?1'5:'i . , f.,VV,g.. c I G .1 ' Pj-Q f L? ,I , , X V , VM I ' -1 ,..1. ,- xi' 'Q fl-' , ': ' - X - fr A 7 8 , ,: 0 V. 37 , ' 'W gb? 5 Q- : M 'i 'R '. 4 , 'JW' ' -ef 'J D, ,f ,Q - Q 3 IQ ' ' K f 'J , xx r cg if 'M f 'N P if W +51 5 1 F vu? 5 ws., if -if Gif I ug G 5,5 f 34.0 I. 5 f mf- ,, ,aw . f I ' Z In V, , iff' , If, W, KM ' ' X 7 Qin ,' f0 vw!

B Division personnel maintain and operate our 450 PSI boiler system, which is the source of power for the main engines, auxilliary equipment and various accessories throughout the ship. They also control the receiving and trans- ferring of fuel oil for the boilers. This oil is stored in various tanks which are locted in the bottom section of the ship. The secondary purpose of the fuel is for controlling the list and trim of the ship. B Division also contains an oil lab- ratory which is operated by the Oil King. The Oil King is the man responsible for daily reports on fuel and boiler water. His report contains the percentage of oil in each tank and the pureness of water used for the boilers. M Division personnel maintain and operate the main propulsion engine. They maintain the operational effective- ness of the main engine and all of its ouxilliary machinery. They operate our ships service generators which supplies electricity for the entire ship. M Division men operate the evaporators which make our fresh water and feed water for the boilers. They are responsible for receiving and transferring water in the various water tanks located in the bottom section of the ship and also for stowogeof lube oil for our main engine. M Division operates and maintains the water fountains aboard ship and the various air conditioning units. They operate and maintain the refrigeration system for stowage of our various foods. To sum things up: B 8. M Division as a combined force, propel the ship through the water. The nickname for B B. M Division is HDRIFTY SNIPESH. But all in all, they are a highly respected group of men and everyone has a soft spot in his heart for a Drifty Snipe . Our Slogan is: Paint everything machinery gray and get this ship underway .

Finding this out is the special province of the Quartermasters isometimes referred to as Navi- f h guessersl o tx e RANKIN. This little group of dedicated individuals keep the ship from getting lost or going aground. Their work begins the moment we get underway and isn't over until we moor again. With backs hunched over the chart table LTJG Sigal's Henchmen pore over tables and charts in a frantic effort to keep RANKIN pinpointed on the sea. They haven't been wrong yet, for RANKIN is still sate and sound. Some of the concerns of the quartermasters are the winding of the ship's clocks, the maintenance of compasses d an sextants, and the supervision of various logs and notebooks. They are also the upholders of the customs and tradif tions of the quarterdeck and are res on 'bl f ll h d iob! p SI e or a onors an ceremonies.

The medicos operate out of a modern and well-stocked sick bay, and they are prepared for any eventuality, from handing out aspirins and seasickness pills to setting borken bones and delivering bobies. Fortunately we had no serious casualties during the deployment, but its good to know that there is a good Medical Department aboard.

The amphibious landings were designed to maintain our sta e o prep ' th Med As art of the Sixth Fleet RANKIN and Amphibious Squadron Four were directly in e . p , involved as members of the United States forces in NATO. Our landings were four in number: Porto Scudo, Timbakion, Saros Bay, and Carboneras. These assaults tested the concept of landing a str: e orce o in which our artici ation would be ordered by the President. Approaches and actual operations P P were conducted in simulated conditions of battle. All of the landings were successful for the RAN- ll ll T n KIN, and our men and equipment proved themselves Ready Now as always to accomplish a y t f aredness for action while 'k f f US Marines for any contingency iob which we are directed to undertake. The am hibious task force anchored at each beach and set the Marines ashore with their equip- P ment and supplies for sustained operations on land. At the conclusion of the exercise, the men and vehicles would be loaded back aboard. While the Marines moved on the beach, the ships practiced gunfire support, sneak attack de- fense and other covering measures. Foreign officers and dignitaries were welcomed aboard and briefed on the operations in an atmosphere of mutual cordiality with our allies.

Fiwis deployment to the Med the RANKEN rc-fried 11 detachment of United States Marines who became known as The RANKIN Marines. The reason behind this sobriquet is The tact that, lor the first time in recorded history, the crew of u Navy ship and the embarked troops got along tabulously. Mutual cooperation on both sides made our cruise a complete example ot Navy-Marine Corps teamwork. Under the command ot Captain Walter Payne, the Marines blended into the crew, helping around the ship when we were underway, and being helped in turn on their landings. The cooperative spirit on the ship stands as a warm memento oi the cruise, for this Marine- Navy interaction was the fullest manifestation ot the great RANKIN Can-do Spirit.

Everyone was both eager and apprehensive. For many of us it was a totally new experience. We spent five months over there, working hard and playing hard. The weather was great at first, but by the end of the cruise it was downright miserable. We shot up tons of ammunition and burned tanks of oil and spent a lot of money ashore. What did we accomplish? Three things. We strengthened firm friendships on board and made new ones in the Med. We exercised the ship and ourselves, maintaining the RANKIN Ready -Now attitude. And we served our nation and the free world by taking our turn on station in defense of the seas. A great deal? A little? All values are relative. What one has gained from this deployment is a personal matter, and each man has his own reply. For myself, I remember the laughter, the frowns, the joys, the frustrations spawned on this ship during those five months. I have tried to recapture some of those moments of cameraderie and loneliness in this cruise book. If these pages stir your memories, this book will have been worthwhile.
