This vessel was constructed under the au iiority of the Maritime Commission at the Vancouver, Washington. shipyard of the Kaiser Company. l.aunched on 25 October 1944, the ship was completed and accepted by the U. S. Navy on a loan basis from the Maritime Commission and commissioned the U.S.S. RENVILLE QAPA-2271. She is named for Renville County in both Min- nesota and North Dakota and is the first Navy ship to carry the name RENVILLE. Present for the last bloody invasion of the VVorld War I1-the assualt on Dkinawa-the U. S. S. REN- VILLE saw extensive service with the occupation forces in Japan and along the Chinese coasts during the mainland battles between the nation- alists and Communist forces. The title for the RENVILLE was transferred from the Maritime Commission to the Navy Department on 26 January 1946, when the vessel became a permanent part of the Navy. The attack transport was assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet in March 1949, and on 30 June 1949 was decommissioned. The Korean Conflict brought the RENVILLE back to active duty, however on 5 Ianuary 1952. When she was recommissioned she was assigned to San Diego, California. Since the termination of hostilities in Korea, the RENVILLE has transported troops between the United States and the Far East. 'We on the RENVILLE are proud to display the following awards and medals she has ac- quired: American Area Campaign Medal Asiatic-Pacific Area Campaign Medal with 1 Bronze Star 'World VVar 11 Victory Medal Korean Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars Navy Occupation Service Medal China Service Medal lfnited Nations Service Medal National Defense Medal Assault Boat Coxswain Award liven now as the Cruise Hook comes off the Dress, the RfiNVl1,l,lf has made more history for herself in many ways. Future personnel, we feel, will continue to carry on lier proud history and traditions. VV1ll13.1T1 lee Savidfe was born 25 April 191 lacorna Washington.

Har-g dest working of any department on the ship ini terms of muscle power and sweat, the deck department often toils while most of the ship, sleeps. The winches hum until the last piece. of cargo is loaded: ammunition in 51 hatch,l gasoline in 152, stores in 1173 and 54, vehicles ing 55. The morning brings no letup, for the deck? department's work is never done....lgall0nSt of paint were used on this cruise just to keepl the weather decks painted.

The work goes on and on. . The largest division in the deck force ISM, J First Division withlmen. Originally HH even larger unit, the month of August saw the formation of a new Division, 1-A, which in' corporates some of First Division's personnel. 35 well as those in the former side cleaners. These two divisions have the responsibility of fully half the ship: from just aft of her superstructure. to the tip of the focsle. ffl ,J ig 4 I . Second Division has one of the most essential jobs on the Renville, keeping her boats in the best possible running condi- tion. These boats are to our ship what the eight inch guns are to a cruisers- they are the weapon of attack. And without I t . the twenty-four hour vigilance of Second Division, this weapon would be useless. S R Now Third Division Man Number Four Hatch is the Word we've heard innumerable times on this cruise. Tons of fresh s provisions are hoisted into our ship's reefer spaces, many drums of diesel fuel and ammo have been swallowed by 4414 X hatch. xAtop the hatch rests three Papa boats, the gig, the Mark Pour and the L boat. Number 4 is the repair hatch for all Renville craft. s. Into Number 5, the Marine cargo hold, goes the heavier S vehicles and equipment. The 35-ton boom with its 17-man ss. x 1 egg. c crew accom lishes this almost never-endin1 assi nment. Ato 8 Lieutenant Lee E. Esquibel Lt. Lee E. Esquibel from Doenver, Colorado graduated from San ,lose State University in 1956. He came to the Renville in July from NAS, Atsugi, Japan, where he had served four years as Cryptographic Security Officer. In August he relieved Ensign Richard Vogels as Boat Group Commander. Key man in each ship to shore movement, Mr. Esquibel has control over all water borne boats. DEPAR TMEN Number 5 is the roosting nest of the two Mike boats. No. 5 hatch area is the after underway replenishment station for fuel and cargo. At sea, the 26 men of the Third Division are no watch as Bos'n Mate of the Watch, helmsmen, lee helmsmen, port and starboard lookouts, stern lookouts and after steering. Myriad deck seamanship duties from frame 98 to the fantail-that is accomplished and ac- complished well by Renville's Third Division. Most unique of the deck divisions, however, is the Fourth Division as an amphibious ship, the Renville has skoshi firepower, but the five 40 mm mounts on her decks could well be essential in certain circumstances. The care and feeding of these mounts fall to Gunnery,s ten men. Many words of praise have been spoken about this well organized and efficient group of gunners.

The morale has been kept cruisin' by our Postal Clerks. The arrival of those bright orange mailbags on the shoulders of Hall and Ludi means only one thing-mail from home. Our stops at the post office Window for stamps, money orders, parcel post and registry service never cease. The MAA,s, our sheriff and his deputies , are assistants to the Executive Officer in enforcing internal discipline. The MAA shack functions 24 hours each every day. One of the primary duties of this small and efficient group is the policing of the ship -on the mess deck, for example, which is maintained on the 4.0 level by a MAA representative. ., V 14: .ffacihf A las... . 4 .

Each is important to the crew in a different way. S-1 Division, under the supervision of CWD Roland Eorgrave, includes the cooks, bakers, and storekeepers. Food is their busi- ness, they order it, load it, store it, cook it, and serve it. The tantilizing aromas that rise from the bake shop are one of their advertisements, and those earnest pleas for pastries from passers- by are their greatest compliment. Each week a new menue is planned with meticulous care to insure that it is healthful as Well as appetizing. S-1 handles staples of both- kinds however. In addition to its job in the galley, it also runs GSK. Nuts and donuts, bear claws SUPPLY GFFICER A native of Central Falls, Rhode Island and a relatively new member of the crew is LCDR George Buben, who reported from NSD Newport for duty as supply officer. Mr. Buben hasn't always been an officer. He joined the Navy as a SR in 1940. In 1945 he went to Midshipman School at Notre Dame and commissioned a line Ensign. In 1949, as a Lieutenant jg, Mr. Buben transferred into the Supply Corp. He has served on the USS GILBERT IS- LANDS CVE 107, the USS SHELLIKOF AVP 52, and at various. LCDR Buben is married and is the proud father of two boys, aged six and nine. Presently his family is residing in San Diego, California.
