Breen, Ji., U.,S.,Navy, received his commission in August 1945. He s. iquently r 'u'ted to VR-ll for aerial navigation duties. Su. 'ive assit 'ments included duty in the USS BATAAN CCVL au, tistructor'at the U.S. Naval Air Facility, Annapolis, and a pexiioll of instruction at the University of Texas. Between 1947 and 1950 he served in the USS LOS ANGELES CCA 1355, andt.- the staffofComair- pac. During the Korean War he saw extensive service in the Far East while serving in the USS BOXER CCV 213 as Radio Officer and the USS BUCK CDD 7615 as Operations Officer. Commander Breen then attended the General Line School at Monterey. He next served on the staff of Comtralant prior to returning to sea for duty as the Gunnery Officer and later Executive Officer of the USS WALLER CDDE 4465. Later assignments included duties as the Executive Officer, U.S. Naval Ordnance Plant, South Charleston, West Virginia, service on the staff of Comphibgru Three and a course of in- struction at the Army Language Schoolin Monterey, California. Commander Breen came to this command from a two year period of service as the assistant Naval attache in Toyko, Japan. Commander Breen and his wife, the former Betty Nicol, reside in Honolulu with their children, Thomas, Patricia, Richard, and Susan. ' Thi Is The Captain The USS RENSH All fDD 4995 has aproud history, reaching from the South Pacific Battles of World War Two the present commitment in the Tonkin Gulf. So you can appreciate that RENSHAW is a mature ship. Some, more unfeeling perhaps would say o1d. But that very fact seems to drive this crew to work harder to match RENSHAW with the newer, more glamorous destroyers of the modern Navy. During the 1966 Westpac Cruise, which added well over 36,000 miles to RENSHAW'S already full log, l was continually reassured by our ability to give an outstanding performance in response to any task assigned. This crew with this ship has a spirit and a capacity to do that any captain would be proud to claim. I am. The memory of your performance during Westpac 1966 will befor me always a source of great pride and satisfaction. Well done! C.E.. BREEN JR. 9 3 Lieutenant Commander Ernest Zon enlisted in theplavy October 27, 1944. His first ship was the USS ALLEN CDD 665 with the following subsequent duties, USS GIRASOL CPY 275, standard landing craft units 61 and 62., USS SAN MARCOS CLSD 255, USS SATYR CARL 235, USS ASKARI CARL 305, USS JASON CARH 15, USS HECTOR CAR '75, 2 years recruiting duty, Glendale, California and the USS BRYCE CANYON CAD 365. He was ordered to OCS in March of 1958 and commissioned an Ensign in June of that year. On completion of OCS he served on boardthe USS TRATHEIN CDD 5305 as lst Lieutenant and Gunnery Officer for 36 months, then as Executive Officer of the USS MARYSVILLE CEPCER 8575 for 24 months. Prior to reporting aboard the RENSHAW he served a 3 year tour of shore duty with the fleet work study group, San Diego, California. LCDR Zon, a native of Minto, North Dakota is married to the former Shirley Pratt of Glendale, California. The Zon's are the parents of two children, Deborah and Stephen and reside in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Our ship is 24 years old this cruise and like a lady of 24 requires more at- tention to recapture her appearance and to enable her to perform at her best, than to try to accomplish feats past and beyond her original capabilities. Our ability to perform as well as we did was accomplished only through the tireless efforts of the officers and crew assigned to this ship. This cruise will be memorable due to the enthusiastic, hard- working crew at sea and the true am- bassadors ashore in foreign ports. Lt.

Jr' .AKHW M RENSH The Ship, , f . rv l .my Her Crew The destroyermen of the USS RENSHAW are unique because they can answer certain qualifications. They are on a destroyer, not a cargo ship or a radar picket ship. They can fight, especially against their eerie, deadly sparring partners, submarines. And, above all else, they are confident that they will win. They are members of a small combatant ship that carries approximately 260 officers and men. The crew is tight. Everybody knows where everyone is from and can tell funny sea stories about each other they'll never forget. These men, by necessity, are the pro- verbial Jacks of all Trades. They seem to thrive on special problems and soon grow restless if there are none. The RENSHAW is an old 2100 class destroyer, one of a type that inspired legends of heroism in the South Pacific and helped the destroyer earn the title of the Greyhound of the Oceans. The USS RENSHAW has a curious, almost imperceptible two degree-list-to port sort of battle scar, the result of a Japanese torpedo during a furious battle in which ten crewmen were lost. .. ..,..-. ,,.wJ...N White water pounds RENSHAW'S side in the Bashi Channel during a storm that lasted days. The Professionals The RENSHAW'S equipment is worn with use. and its upkeep provides the crew with an almost 24 hour internal and external war on wear. This means that these destroyermen, no matter how late the hour or how little the sleep, must be there to replace a vacuum tube or patch a pipe. They are there on the job and, nine times out of ten, will perform the task without a single groan. The new man on board learns this fact of Destroyer life soon enough. Westpac 1966 was a tour for the USS RENSHAW and her crew that represented work-hard, very often disappointing, thankless , seemingly fruitless work. But then we have much of which to be proud--and thankful for. There is no uestion but that whatever was given Cl us, we did it, and with pride. The USS RENSHAW has, after all, a tradition and a history to uphold. Westpac 1966 only added to her honor. Above, top, supplies swing onto RENSHAW.

A SHINTO temple lies in quiet se elusion on a wooded hill. The sights of Japan, for those of us who were lueky enough to find the time, was only a train ticket away. Yokosuka had its night Clubs and hot steam baths, but the gigantic: City of Tokyo was too tempting to pass up. Our special services officer sent large flroves of the crew ofi' to Tokyo for a clay, or to quiet little Kamakura, a picturesque rural town lying seeluclecl from big city smog. Tokyo's Imperial Palace seems afloat in the tranquil goldfish filled moat that protects it from ancient, feudal enemies. Our first visit in Japan was accompanied by warm temperatures and overcast skies. Our second visit in December had us in overcoats, at first a pleasant change after the sultry heat of South east Asia, but soon had us wishing for the tropical climate of Hawaii. Many,as in Hong Kong, took advantage of low prices and went Christmas shopping in the naval base exchange center at A-33. Electronic equipment was a special bargain, especially tape recorders, stereophonic phonograph consoles and records. Other items of great interest were china, crystal, and silver. Japanese dolls of all shapes and sizes were available. Pearls, a specialty of Japan, were incorporated into many designs of jewelry. All things considered, Japan proved to be the place for a bonanza shopping spree. Ens. Prout .nd Chiei Baldasan ran lst division through dozens off port entries, exits and gallons of haze- l gray paint. RED LEAD AND RIGGING Throughout history, the deck hand has played an imporv tant role in the operation of the sea going vessel. This is particularly true in today's modern Navy. Whether in the crow's nest of yesteryear or the flying bridge of the present the function of the underway watch is the sameg to assist the officer of the deck in running the ship. First division is made up of deck hands and boatswains mates. The boatswains mates are responsible for the external appearance of the ship and the handling of various rigging and mooring lines. The maintenance and operation of the small boats, the handling of replenishment and refueling riggings are two important responsibilities of the division. The vigilance required for continuous success in the performance of these jobs offers little reward, other than the knowledge of a job well done. Morrison, BM2, and Davidson, BM2, made sure operations ran smoothly-had one heckava good time on the beach. ..- S V .

If oHs1UNc We were all fortunate enough, during on-e inport period, to land liberty in the port of Keelung, which is the starting point for a trip to Taipei, Taiwan's capital and largest city. Taipei is a mere hour away from Keelung by bus, a trip well worth taking, as many of the crew would attest. Taipei's attractions included not only many fine night clubs and restaurants but also excellent American entertainment, including singing star Patti Page. The weather during both tours on Taiwan patrol was good, The Renshaw Hornets, our softball team, enjoyed them- selves immensely out at the Navy's regulation field at Tsoying, having cold beer between innings and razzing the umpire. Then there were the ship's parties, where we rode water buffalo in the rain. NY5f:i:'5...,.t' T J -ii FAMILIAR SIGHT to all Renshaw sailors was Fleet Street.

A combination of new and old rates, seconds divi- sion operates and maintains armament. The gunners mate rating no longer has a simple task of loading, aiming and firing the guns, but has evolved into a specialty that requires great accuracy and as a result has been supplemented hy the fire control technician. During the Yankee Team Operations, the gunner mates kept their mounts in a high state of readiness in anticipation of a call for assistance from our forces on shore. Working directly with the gunners mates, the FT's provide pertinent information regarding a targets loca- tion and speed and keep a constant track of it, so that every shot of the guns will he as accurate and effective as is possible. Through the use of a special type of radar and computer system greater efficiency can be attained in our gun fire assignments. Although the ship never fired a shot in anger , the men of this division were constantly prepared to fire with swift calculation and high accuracy.

Lull in operations permitted more training and clean-up than normal sea time will allow. Ten years ago the Taiwan Straits, a small bod of water that separates Com- Y munist Red China from the island of Taiwan or Formosa, was a tense world trouble spot. Today these waters are quiet. The RENSHAW and her crew patrolled these straits for two months. When we were at sea we were helping a country and a people that honestly might have little con- cerned us personally a year ago, but when we were in port and saw and met these people perhaps we felt for the first time their pride in being free people, a privi- ledge we too often take for granted. Taiwan patrol was not only an hopor, it was a rare priviledge for the destroy- errnen of the RENSHAW. We are proud to have served, knowing that the price of peace is eternal vigilance.

First the radarmen, as they constitute 1 the bulk of our division. Since World War Two, Naval operations such as gunfire support, anti- air warfare and standard navigation have gone beyond the scope of the quartermaster, gunners- mate and sonarman. Thus was born the radarman. Basically, the radarman backs up the bridge by being a file cabinet of information, the panel for communications and the computer for assistance in command decisions. During Yankee Team operations, radarmen assisted in various duties by maintaining con- stant radar watch, a surface summary plot of all Seventh Fleet units, and supported the bridge in her navigational duties.

' Pi ' Always a beehive of activity, the ship's office is responsible for not only the care of the crew's service records, but they are the information and clearance center for the vast amount of paperwork required by a military organization. Here is a group of RENSHAW sailors always happy to help out at a moment's notice, a fact Ol Division owns with pride. Completing the division we have Doc, our hospital corpsman. Faced with the responsibility of 250 men and their health, Doc's efforts kept many a man out of bed and fit for duty. Clinic in Taiwan is bolstered by Chief Joiner's expert assistance. Man in tie served as interpreter. I w-J' Radio Runs Un Split Shift The primary tasks of OC division are communications and navigation. Without communications in the fleet, a ship at sea is virtually separated from the outside world. It is the duty of the personnel in the division to maintain continuous radio and visual contact with activities ashore and units at sea. Navigation, of course, aids the ship in maintaining its geographic position. The responsibilities of communications falls primarily on the radiomen and signalmen. Flashing light, semiphore and flag hoist are the means by which signalmen transmit and receive information. Radiomen use various electronic equipment to obtain greater ranges. The job of the quartermasters is two fold, one, the main- tenance of a constant navigational plot and two, keeping continuous logs or history of the ship. The postal clerk completes the communications picture. This popular member of the crew Qwould you believe a hero 'Pl enforces U.S. postal regulations on all personal mail to and from the crew. He sells stamps, weighs packages and consoles jilted lovers who are found hanging around the mail shack.

R Visitors to the RENSHAW'S radio central, where all the transmitters and receivers are located, are dumbfounded by the small space in which these people work. The job of getting messages out to various units at sea and ashore leaves the problem of space, however, far behind. There is too much to do to think about ten extra square feet. Radiomen tear information off teletype machines, much like those used by radio and TV stations to copy news service broadcasts, and make paper copies for the persons who need to know. They set up voice radio equipment for the bridge or the combat information center and then make that final adjustment to get the garble from the voice coming from the other ship. At times, Radio central is a total uproar of activity. Other times it is calm and the radiomen can take a deep breath and relax. But always there looms behind them the awesome fact that the ship is next to blind without the information they collect and disseminate. As with the tasks of all other destroyermen, theirs is a 24 hour plus job. Only absolute heads-up performance is tolerated. The reason is obvious enough. ,X . c.

Flag Ba s And Flashin Lights Sinalmen are a valuable asset to a destroy- er that relies so much on communications. These men must be quick and absolutely sure of them- selves. Misreading a number could result in catas trophe. Of all destroyermen, signalmen are most exposed to the whims of the weather and the seas. They are constantly waiting for the light in the dark or the flag hoist to signal a turn 180 degrees. They freeze in the cold rain and sweat in the heat of a south China sea sun. lt's simply all in the job and the challenge. 34 .f THE UNIFORM FOR WASHING DOWN NEWCOMB uses 12-inch flashing light to communicate with another ship Morse code 1S used for messages. , , i f' at ,f 2 , - Q E f 4 n ' Q' ' 5 7 . 9' .,,, if X I I Plotting a point on chart, Lacy QMSN, carefully crosses points with a compass qbarely visable in sunlightj after using RA.DARto get ranges and bearings to nearest land.

The RENSHAW'SQuartermasters aren't quite the romantic sailors of the windjammer days, but they serve the same purpose--getting the vessel from point A to point B. They do this in a much more sophisticated manner, using radar and a radio navigation device known as loran. The classic celestial bodies, of course, will always be used. From the Left: Goe, QM3, Brown QM3, and Lacy, QMSN. One quarter- master per watch is all a Navy destroyer is allowed. Ours were in three sections. Quartermasters are also keepers of the ship's logs. They record every deviation in the ship's course and speed as well as unusual happenings, weather and who has the Conn at any given moment. The RENSHAW'S Quartermasters are few and the demands many. They plotted this ship through 36,347 nautical miles of sea. They plotted us home to Pearl. LTJG CJiml Walker, Heads 'lVI 'i in 0 Division. Left, Chief Hanks, BTC.

The RENSHAW has two main propulsion units that drive two propellers with a total force of 30,000 horsepower per shaft and is capable of zipping the elderly RENSHAW along at a stately clip. Also included in the division are a small band of MM's who operate and main- tain the distilling plant that is so vital to a steam driven ship especially on pro- longed periods at sea. These men are re- ferred to as Water Kings , and control all water aboard, conduct daily chemical test on the boiler water to ensure purity and closely control storage, usage and distilling of all water. We also have the BT's, who spend all of their working hours and a good part of their sleeping or liberty hours either operating the ship's boilers or operating on the ship's boilers, a dedicated bunch who can always be depended upon to furnish steam to the turbines at any temperature or pressure desired and at any time ofthe day or night. Last, but not least, are the oil kings, who are responsible for the ship's oil supply.The oil kings may be found at all times of the day and night taking soundings on the ships tanks.

B our partner for several days in the Tonkin Gulf, the USS CHICAGO, bristles with sophisticated radar gear and missiles. YANKEE TEAM No one will likely forget the day we were suddenly there, in the Tonkin Gulf, with the North Vietamese coastline looming up in the Horizon. The railings were jammed with silent crewmen staring off towards the hazy grey-green hills. Now the training was over. We were assigned to guard the USS KEARSARGE, the aircraft carrier we accompanied to Japan. RENSHAW hawked the KEARSARGE constantly, visually by day and with radar by night. When she turned, we turned. When she added five knots the plume of water from our stern rose high into the blue Tonkin sky. It became a constant sight to watch the submarine patrol planes as they came gliding over us in that last precious mile before 'touchdown and a safe land ing It must have been a comforting sight from above seeing us bring up the rear When we weren't guarding the KEARSARGE our guns were needed to protect other 48 large ships, ironically so sophisticated in weapons systems that a small torpedo boat could possible slip in unchallenged by the awesome yet nearly helpless missile- armed ship and fire at will. We performed such a service for the mighty USS CHICAGO, a guided missile cruiser many times our size. When we departed, the CHICAGO was pleased with our work, and she told us so. Other guard assignments included the dramatic attack carriers, with their jet fighter-bombers that are performing so brilliantly in the air over North Viet Nam. Day in and day out these screaming aircraft were launched and recovered while we carefully watched and waited to act least an emergency arose Yankee Team operations for the RENSHAW were not bloody but they were exciting We were on time and did the Job without flaw It is happily as simple as that Q ' I - .

L 63 Who knows what makes a man proud of what he is or what he has accomplished. Most mortal men will feel pride when they stand out from others as being elite or chosen. The destroyermen of the USS RENSHAW have and rightfully deserve this sense of pride of being elite. Let a RENSHAW sailor make cracks about life on his ship, but take heed to never do the same. His sense of pride will swell until, if provoked enough, he will fight. This is pride, and the RENSHAW has seen to it that every crew who has ever served on her decks is seasoned with the stuff before he leaves. A destroyerman is proud of his ship, his shipmates and the honor of being assigned tasks most outsiders would hardly think possible. A destroyerman smiles to himself when his ship pulls alongside a gigantic? aircraft carrier to take on fuel in rough 2 f n' ' ' Z f nr ' 'I ' I 'vii ' :gf Efi, seas. The crew of the carrier seems aghast at the way this little vessel rolls and pitches They gather in crowds of silence, some taking pictures of the spectacular sight of a destroyer battering hack at the sea, others shaking their heads in an answer of no to the laughing, beckoning destroyermen who motion for them to come on over for a visit. No destroyerman will deny the thrill of standing on our fantail and watching the mountain of foam and water known as the rooster's tail thunder skyward, the boiling tortured product of twin propellers driving the ship through the water at speeds only a small boat can attain with such ease. What is a destroyerman? He is a sailor, wedded to his ship, in love with the sea. Want to see one? Come visit us on the RENSHAW and see a couple of hundred. Q 5 ,fl Q 1 ,ff , f 7 mf!
