This cruise book culminates the Maiden Voyage of REASONER, her first major challenge and operational eicposure to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The 3 lst of July, 1973, was of particular significance to us all for it was not only the second anniversary of com- missioning, but also the completion of a highly successful operational tour with the Seventh Fleet and the beginning of our long transit home. In brief reflection, those two years marked a period of amazing progress. Born of an open hearth furnance in some obscure town in Pennsylvania, those cold sheets of forged steel were transformed by the magic of hard work and sacrifice into the character of a fighting Man-of-War. During the agony of an extended shipyard period, followed immediately by the frustrations of refresher training, REASONER men trained themselves as true professionals for the still unexperienced challenge of deployment in this new class of Destroyer Escort. However, with the guiding hands of those veteran sailors in each department, she responded like a thoroughbred. Whether it was support tactics during End Sweep in the Gulf of Tonkin, anti-submarine operations with the Nationalist Chinese. or plane-guarding for high speed attack carriers, REASONER charted and sailed a precisigin course. A .Admiral Clarey, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, joined our July 3 lst celebra- tions, in.fSubic Bay, Philippines, and emphasized that REASONER could truly take its place alongside any unit' of the fleet. In this regard, the proud and confident character manifested by thisfnow sleek and graceful greyhound is merely the personitication of the dedicaton of those aboard who spared no sacrifice to achieve perfection. f J V Behind us were five months of high tempo operations, broken occasionally by short. but enjoyable, visits to ports such as Hong Kong and Singapore. Ahead lay the new task of serving as ambassadors of good will during a 15,000 mile solo-ship transit to some rarely visited ports in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific prior to our return to San Diego. For those of you who followed REASCINER'S departure in March, it left as a. fledgling, untested ship and perhaps a bit uncertain. She returned, having successfully completed every assignment given her and after having firmly established a reputation for herself throughout the fleet of being A Cut Above. As with Admiral Clarey, we welcome you aboard REASONER to join us in the retracing of A Maiden Voyage , , , s 2 A u ,L- 'fr vs-4 A4,,,,,,-K .,.

The months prior to her first deployment are important to her history. for these months were used in making REASONER what she is to- day, A Cut Above. The men who manned her during that period, par- ticularly the Plankowners, played a vital role in shaping the character of this proud ship. This section is dedicated to those men for their hard work and perserverance. ay' l 'se' i -2 ,auf COMMA DI G OFFICER Commander FLEMING was born in Norfolk Virginia and attended public schools 1n that city In June of 1954 he entered the United States Naval Academy graduating with the class of 1958 and receiving his commission as Ensign in the United States Navy Upon commissioning Commander FLEMING reported to USS MULLINNIX CDD 944D where he served for three years as ASW Officer, First GALVESTON CCLG 32 working with both the conventional and TALOS missile batteries In June 1964 he reported to the Staff of Commander Amphibious Training Command U S Atlantic Fleet as Aide and Flag Lieutenant. Follow- ing this tour of duty Commander FLEMING was ordered to USS YARNELL CDLG 172 as Weapons Officer In March 1968 he reported to USS ROBERT L.

WEAPONS DEP RT N f 1 5: Lt. Arthur J. Gilbert. USN Weapons Officer REASONER'S Weapons Department, numbering about 60 men, commenced the deployment with feelings of both excitement and anticipation. In March the long- awaited cease fire in Vietnam was still not secure and the ship's weapons systems were peaked to expect the worst. Although REASONER never fired a shot in anger, there were some rather tense moments patrolling areas just off the infamous harbor of Haiphong. On the other hand the department can boast of the smooth and efficient manner with which they conducted dozens of successful underway replenishments and their participation in a joint anti- submarine exercise with the Nationalist Chinese Navy. In the Western Pacific, salt and humidity are a con- stant adversary. The herculean efforts put forth by the Deck Division to keep our ship consistently sparkling in appearance set a fine example for all ships in the Seventh Fleet. The group of highly professional individuals which comprise this proud department thoroughly enjoyed the many new and exotic ports we visited, while never forget- ting their reason for existence: to have all systems in peak condition to meet and destroy any threat at any time. To this end the Weapons Department can take great pride in a highly successful cruise. hw ,luv , .

She must have the mobility and the dependability upon which sound command decisions can be made. In less than a year REASONER'S engineers have experienced a major shipyard overhaul, a rigorous refresher training, and pa six month deployment, but have met all these commitments with a high degree of professionalism and enthusiasm. The dedication to duty, by the engineers, often under very ardous conditions, has given REASONER the reputation as one of the finest steaming ships in the Pacific Fleet. As a single screw ship, meticulous attention must be given to all aspects of operation, maintenance, and repair. There are virtually no back up systems which means that there is absolutely no margin for error. Our engineers have spent long and trying hours to ensure that support to weapons systems, shipwide hotel services. and operational mobility are maintained continuously, to thereby assist the command to meet each of its scheduled commitments on time. As evidence by a casualty free. 15,000 mile, solo-ship transit from Westpac to San Diego, the efforts by the engineers have paid dividends for all hands. In the final assessment. REASONER'S engineers have responded to all challenges like champions and have met all their responsibilities. No other accolade can be more meaningful than this. f.. A l 3 l i l M DIVISIO I .

Time, place, distance, mission, task force organization, electronics policy, communications procedures, frequencies, and intelligence briefs, all must be fully researched and exactly incorporated into the ship's schedule. Once the ship sails, the men of the operations department involve themselves in a 24-hour a day struggle to properly collect, evaluate, and disseminate the information flying between the units of the force. This type of daily grind absolutely taxes a mans mental capacities to the fullest. During this deployment the momentary ex- hilarations of these operations were seperated by long hours of continual waiting for REASONER to be called. When the call came, the men who you see on these pages. the laughing ones, the ones making the most of a few spare minutesg these men went about their job under all types of pressure in a remarkably professional manner making the brains of the ship function and contributing their part to the success of the deployment.. , I 0C DIVISIO al 3 jab Xi! f RUXM V KNEELING: RMC O'Nea1, SMSA Stull, RMSN Cota, RM3 Hicks, RMSA McDaniels, STANDING: RM1 Vallery, RM2 Schoepp, RMB Mazella, SM3 Hagar, RM1 Mahoney, SN Feldborg, RM3 Carney, SM2 Schildhauer, SM1 Hartzell, SMSA Stevens, LTJG Brandt.

Already more than two months of planning and loading stores had taken place. Doing what comes naturally, the storekeepers, commissary-men, ship's servicemen, disbursing clerks, and stewards were ready for the heavy day to day routine of providing full service to the ship and her crew. With frequent opportunities to replenish during the first five months, the steady job of issuing repair parts, food, and other services proceeded smoothly in port and at sea. Along with the haze grey, lobster tails, and coke, quite a load of stereo gear. cameras. china. and furniture found its way into spaces too numerous to name. The down-under transit from Subic to San Diego presented an exceptional challenge to the Supply Depart- ment. Knowing that we would be self sustaining. we loaded more supplies at the end of July than during the predeployment days in February. The success of our ef- forts can be seen by the fact that no shortage of essential items took place. For the personnel involved with this department, we can look back on a good cruise and a job well done. JV '4 SUPPL DIVISIO 'Y Kris, Q Q X. r.

Councilor Personnel from the XN Department are responsible for the safe navigation of the ship and the efficient management of sick bay, the post office, and ship's office. During the deployment the YN's and PN,s continously sifted through the sea of paper that keeps the Navy go- ing, and thereby kept REASONER in touch with the day to day changes of our Navy. Whenever the mail arrived the PC's were the most popular men on board as they dis- tributed those welcome letters from home. Also. the Corpsmen helped cure us whenever someone would catch one of those not so rare tropical diseases. The Quarter- masters did an outstanding job of pointing the ship in the direction of the best liberty ports in the Pacific and dis- tinguished themselves by navigating the ship without any modern navigational aids and without a gyrocompass for over 8000 miles.

V' ,AF f 'tNow, man the Underway Replenishment Detail was a common command heard throughout REASONER during our Maiden Voyage. From the transit to Pearl Harbor to the final leg of our journey home the ship conducted numerous Unreps. Underway Replenishment is the method by which a ship at sea takes on personnel, cargo, ammuni- tion, and fuel. Personnel and cargo can be delivered either by highline transfer using kingpost and manpower to pull them across, or by a helicopter making drops of people or stores onto the ship's flight deck. The helicopter delivery method, known as Vertrep, is faster and easier, but not always available. Taking on fuel is a constant task on a Destroyer. When operating, it is necessary to keep as much fuel on- board as possible. Therefore many refuelings are made. It was not un- usual for REASONER to take on over 100,000 gallons of fuel during one replenishment. Underway replenishment is always a potentially hazardous operation. Two ships steaming close together passing thousands of gallons of fuel or tons of cargo, creates many safety problems. REASONER was able to avoid any accidents during the many unreps'l due to well'trained and alert personnel. It was a job well done an-r' --A J . 5- i s .. 6 lf' s 'c TV .

The primary purpose of frequent visits there was to perform major maintenance and repair on vital systems of the ship. However. the reduced prices at the Navy Ex- change. the many outstanding facilities and services available on the base, and of course. the daily carnival atmosphere in Olongapo City provided a welcome divergence from the ship's routine for all hands. i 1 3 1 'IQ l 5 sl: E f 2 ,-1 -if l ' -.w.,,.l V if' SRI LANKA LAND OF TEA AND SPICE - .sv 5 .

When the operational phase of our deployment was completed, REASONER began a 15,000 mile journey home with a visit to Colombo, Sri Lanka. Our port call was in conjunction with the annual A'Pereaheral' festival week in Sri Lanka, which is a gala time of parades, costumes, and good cheer. The mountain city of Kandy attracted many sightseers during our stay and the evening parades with 30 elephants in full regalia were certainly a unique ex- perience. Q 9 4 FJ . 5 x X 5, 5 Q Q . ' 1' .

THE GREAT DOW U DER As REASONER left Sri Lanka, excitement reached all hands as we made our way to the land of Roos Cliangaroosl and Emu's. CPronounced A-mewsl We lived the chance of a lifetime and witnessed the contrast between the small town and big city worlds of Australia. Our first call was to Geraldton, a small seacoast town in West Australia. There the people hosted us to a real Sunshine festival. Many hours were spent in spirited athletic competition, lively com- panionship in the pubs, and genuine friendship throughout our stay. Too soon, we left the sunshine of Geraldton and steamed to the large metropolis of Melbourne. Here, we experienced the other side of the Aussie culture. Melbourne was defmitely a contrast to Geraldton, but the people were exactly the same: totally cheerful and friendly with genuine interest in America. From Melbourne, we continued south to the colder climate of New Zealand and called upon the na.tion's capitol of Wellington. Although the Springtime winds blew quite cold, the open invitation by the local people to enjoy their city was thoroughly heartwarming. The weather was no deterrent to our enthusiasm and in no way hampered a good time. The final stop along the way home came to the island paradise of Tahiti. Set on a sun-kissed beach and in the native habitat, we had a fabulous party featuring Tahitian dancing, food, and old fashioned good times, as we completed a six month series of operations. San Diego seemed just over the horizon as we left Tahiti with many cherished memories, and our thoughts turned to families and loved ones. Our Maiden Voyage was to cover over 50,000 miles and in all the excitement perhaps the two most memorable miles we traveled were six months apart that began and concluded our trip. With all the challenges, the joys and tears, our Down Under was the fitting ending to a great cruise. GERALDTO . . . THE WILD WE ST ,WS ,, ., I P . f, ' 1-ft , av . I 'FS' 1.
