ON ROANOKE they serve functions ranging from keep- ing a watchful eye on the bridge of the ship, to ensuring connections with the various ships being replenished by ROANOKE are proper. Serving in a demanding position aboard ROANOKE, these sailors work sometimes day and night to transfer provisions from ship to ship. Working hand-in-hand with the Helicopter Detachment, they see to it that proper flight deck procedures are followed.

Since ROANOKE is in essence a Supply Ship, and her main function is one of keeping hungry sailors in the fleet fed and fuel thirsty ships full of IPS and DFM, without too much research you can tell that the Supply Department is a vital part of the ship's routine. But that's not the only function of the Supply Department on- board ROANOKE. ROANOKE's Supply Department also has an obligation to the 400 sailors who man ROANOKE. They are re- sponsible for maintaining a Dis- bursing Office, Crew's Galley, Officer's Wardroom, Chief's Galley, a Barber Shop, a Laundry Service, and a Ship's Fountain and Walk-in Store.

Need- less to say, with 400 men aboard ROANOKE, S-3 per- sonnel find themselves working long hours sometimes just to keep from getting backlogged. Also consid- ered a part of S-3, is S-4 Division or ROANOKE's Bank of America which consists of Disbursing Clerks who maintain pay records for the entire crew, Officers and Enlisted alike. It may seem that these bookeepers and accountants have little to do, but not only do they keep tabs on pay records and handle inquiries, but they maintain a leave and earning statement which reflects exactly how many days leave each individual sailor aboard ROANOKE has on the books. Good minds in this division, keep our pockets jingling. 1 SH3 Maurice Floyd SH3 Gene Panoringan 4 .- I . ,' x x SH3 William Tomera - 3 il!!-ws ! l ? l I I Q I 1 i w L N 5 I 1 1 : I f 5 i 1 50 W ll - K gl I , , D voovii L' sf ,-Q Q Y X f 5 l F A k, 1 4 , ,- ,- .- .au ,Q i .Q -i Y 'R -A iff SN William johnson SN David Russey 4 I SA Wallace Hooper OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT ff N .fm LCDR IEFF ENS DWIGHT RYAN BELTZ OPERATIONS COMBAT DEPT HEAD INFORMATION OFFICER P 1 Y' if f ' ' 'iq M v, 'Jr - ' ' I I ,.,,t,.,,,,W, rv' ' 6 r 2 t 5 L if l l X f l 4 , I f 'C r' -'F :mln nt '. 5 lf, .H .

But to ROANOKE's Operations Specialists in the Combat Information Center it has a very definite meaning. These unusual personnel serve as the eyes, ears, and voice of the ship. They control the ship's radar, sonar and radio frequency nets. Their main function aboard the ship is tracking what are called contacts on the radar and sonar equipment and determining whether they are friend or foe. Once this is determined, they quickly no- tify the bridge and suggest the tactical maneuvers which should be made by the ship. Unique in their work, Combat , as it is called, sets the emission controls for the ship, acts as back up Navigator, and also serves as the prime locator for man overboard operations. .1-str, 'QL ns- N ' l l X l f .ww 4. osz cHRisToPHER Piizrsiriz O52 ROBERT WILLIAMS , P ' if if OS3 GARY NELSON OSSN RAYMOND NOLAND i S3 f 7 f 9 , Sf , , ,W f ff' Q fw ff! 5 Zf f , ' ,gf 4' ' ' X J J f Q , ,Q Z X, XZ!

When the ship's schedule has been arranged, it is the job ofthe Navigators to get us there. Wheth- er it's a port visit or an operational exercise, the Navigators can lead us to the desired point at the precise time. Sometimes the complexity of this job is overlooked, but after just a moment's thought you will find that the Navigators' role is a very intricate part of the ship's operation. Outside of getting the ship where it needs to go, on the correct course, the Navigators are well versed in the rules of the road on the high seas and are able to plot the ship's course utilizing their instruments and regulations to perfection.

Letaw Main Propulsion Assistant Ens David Broaderhausen Damage Control Assistant ENGINEERING DEP RTME T February 1778, we see the value of warships just being on hand, or showing the fleet as it is referred, to manifest national purpose and preserve the peace. On that date, john Paul jones, in the Continental frigate RANGER, Sailed into Quiberon Bay, France, flying the new stars and stripes. RANGER's 13 gun salute to a French squad- ron, traditional honors for a major monarchy, was an- swered by a nine-gun reply reserved for sovereign re- publics. The event meant more than an exchange of normal naval civilities, it signified France's recognition of American independence, not yet achieved. Since that day, nearly two centuries ago, the U.S. Navy has shown the flag in peace and war a countless number of times. In 1778, our Navy got Underway with Sails Raised . Today, all the sails are folded and have given way to more complex systems, diesel engines, steam power and even nuclear powered engines. These new systems enable our modern Navy to get to any point in the world in mini- mal time. The job of maintaining our new systems and making sure they are functional at all times is the respon- sibility of the Engineering Department. Engineering De- partment, in short, makes sure that we can Show our Flag at a moments notice. fl.. 29' 11,114.5 1 2 I' W1 ,f wig LTJG Thomas Boyd A Division Officer Making sure the fuel carried by ROA- NOKE gets where it is supposed to go, whether taking on or distributing it, is the job of the Machinist's Mates and Enginemen aboard ROANOKE.

Whether it is flight quarters, general quarters, man overboard or just regular sick call, the corpsmen aboard ROANOKE stand ready to attend to any medical need which may arise. On this cruise alone, they have treated everything from in- fluenza to broken or cracked bones. This unique group of crewmembers put in nu- merous hours on just research and study all in an effort to combat medical problems of ROANOKE's 400 man crew. xx i G ' e SN Felix laramillo SN Sal Balderrama HM3 Richard HM3 Martin regoir Stansbury .wa 'w-' iw' .,, gn-fs, w l ExEcuTi E Dlvlslo Q' , , Q55 Mm '. ,, , gg? fj 1 T, vt www . f - .. , , ,, ,L . ,, ,s I , 7 .sv ' A .t it ' T s x ,x I ,, ,, I '-. ff- ' ' fl V , K, 5:4555-Wfsfsfssgsfl .Q f.

The main streets look quite a bit like those in japan, but the smaller sidestreets which run in all directions parallel with or at right angles to the main streets are still nar- row, loaded with atmosphere, and lined by buildings which are usually only two stories in height. lt is extremely diverting to simply wander about at random, up and down the streets, in and out of the numerous depart- ment stores, antique shops, small shops, and coffee houses, just going wherever your feet take you. fi X 'Nr 1 a '41 G '1 W ,, . f I V -FQ A4 s Ii 2 I i I li ge II It I I I I I I l I I I I r I. ll I I I I , I I I I I I I I Il I li l I I I I I I i I I s I I I I, E, II I ,. yr I II fi Ii I Ii I l II II I I I 1 . , I 1 4 ,wr X 1 .. .

In 1959 it became the 50th state of the United States of America. By the early 1970's it was economically vigorous, with diversified agriculture and manufacturing, stra- tegically important to the United States, a Pacific basin transportation and cultural center, often called the Crossroads of the Pacific , and a major tourist mecca. Hawaiian activities gaining in national and international importance by the early 1970s include research and development in oceanography, geo- physics, astronautics, satellite communications, and biomedicine. The capital city, Honolulu, on the is- land of Oahu, is 2,397 miles from San Francisco to the east, and 5,293 miles from Manila in the Philip- pines to the west. l 39 ' 2: .f -W.. f, ,.r' , 'W' r . , ' lfb, J - 0' ,.,'s Q ,' k'U:'Shs...hn'?f'-..- ppf -..,,.M-,Q -,.....-.-.-1 . ,4- gl ,xikyap Y an .

It is one of the few remain- ing places in the world where the word colony does not have an insulting connotation. Everyone seems quite satisfied with its status. Although the island is not paradise - what place is? - for many thousands of poor refugee laborers, others have done well. The Chinese are satisfied with the Colony because the PeopIe's Republic banks provide the mainland gov- ernment with the hard cash - dollars and pounds ster- ling - which they desperately need. Britain is happy with Hong Kong because it is a good source of rev- enue. Southeast Asia regards Hong Kong as a reliable, stable pivot point, where British financial integrity permits money to be invested with safety. From the tourists' point of view, Hong Kong has ev- erything. The world of Suzie Wong tthe oriental beau- ty with the high split skirt called Cheong-saml, the west's listening post on China, a bargain basement shopping center for luxury merchandise, the Chinese listening on the west, a flourishing, ingenious industri- al oasis off the coast of China. You name it - Hong Kong has it, has it or soon will have it. Most of the respectable entertainment for an even- ing is centered around the hotels. The other kind has more to do with the exotic and erotic and mysterious Orient and is found in the bars and clubs and dance- halls scattered around Wanchai, Tsimshatsui, and Causeway Bay. lt's possible tjust barelyl to enjoy both kinds without spending too much money or getting into too much trouble. ,-mi' Q... JAZZ II IX li if 555 if Occasionally a name performer plays a top hotel res- taurant, although this type of entertainment has be- come rather rare in Hong Kong. On an irregular basis several hotels offer live stage plays with dinner. This type of theater-restaurant presentation has proven to be quite popular with name actors and actresses, mostly English, drawing in good crowds every even- ing. Several places offer music with dinner but no floor show. There are strolling musicians and a dance area at the Peak Tower Restaurant. Lovely flute and guitar music floats into the dining area from the adjoining bar at the Repulse Bay Hotel restaurant. In Kowloon, Caddi's in the Peninsula and Pink Giraffe at the Sheraton Hotel offer dinnerfdancing music. Hugo's in the Hyatt Regency Hotel has the music but no dancing. Lovers of kitsch and camp, perhaps masochists as well, will enjoy a visit to a Chinese style supper club. Bejeweled mistresses, the big band sound, or Chinese opera excerpts can benumb the mind. P TTAYA BEAC In a sandy bay, some 85 miles south-east of Bangkok, has developed the largest beach resort in the Asian tropics. Only 15 years ago this bay was almost com- pletely deserted, with land costing only a few dollars an acre. Now it is one of the hottest pieces of real estate development in the region, with hotels, nightclubs and restaurants fighting for shorespace. Pattaya is not yet Acapulco or Cannes - it still has an air of informality and it is not yet as well organized or as efficient as it should be, but things are changing fast. Along with the growth of hotels and other tourist facilities have come problems such as lack of municipal planning and pollu, tion, but compared with, say, the Mediterranean the level of pollution is low indeed. Touting and over- pricing are present as well, but again these are much less serious in Pattaya than elsewhere. There is plenty of nightlife and the quality of food in the many restaurants is good. There are lively nightclubs ranging in style from respectable to frankly seedy, but for the novice sailor fun nevertheless. l !

As any intelligent man knows, the Filipino is the most hospitable person in the world, wrote an ob- server ofthe Philippines scene some 50 years ago. To cover half a century in three words, we can say simply that things have not changed. Filipinos are naturally hospitable and it isn't just Sunday manners. They're courteous and gracious even among them- selves. A host will pull out all stops to make a guest feel at home even if it breaks him, and it sometimes does. Despite Bataan, Corregidor, and Magsaysay, the Philippines isn't as well known as it should be in the great outside world. The Philippines has got everything to become one of the world's sunshine spots for the cold of bone and the depressed of lamina spirit. Statistics tell us that, what with jet travel, the picture is changing and the Philippines is in the pro- cess of being discovered. There's plenty of hospital- ity and sunshine to go around, but our advice is to get there first. In the Philippines, you will get all the sunshine, charm, and color of the South Seas, and you won't have to turn beachcomber to do it. You can inbibe all of this in style and comfort. There are plenty of islands to go around, 7,107 in all. Fortu- nately, you won't have to explore them one by one to learn what makes the Filipinos tick. Most of the population lives on eleven large islands and about 300 in all are inhabited. All of these friendly islands lie south of Taiwan and north of Borneo, a few hun- dred miles off the Asian mainland. The Phillippines is a mountainous country with fertile plains and tropi- cal vegetation and forests. The largest island is Lu- zon, where Manila is located. Manila has boomed in population right along with the country as a whole. At last count, the Filipinos numbered better than 48 million and were still going upward. English speaking visitors have observed that the Philippines is differ- ent, but yet it's like home . The contrast is because it really is different. The similarity is due partly to the widespread use of English. lt's used in the schools, in discussing new laws, in drawing up contracts, writing news stories and, on billboards. The visitor, in any event, will find the popularity of English convenient. It is one of three official languages, Philipino and 11 '1 PHILIPPINES I I l'Q-lr?'1Pd . ?3K 1 'V 'R it ip A .

H u M After indicating to the Sailors aboard ROANOKE that there is hope in the way of monetary improve- ments for military personnel, the Secretary of De- fense said, I think there is coming to be a much greater appreciation in the nation for just what it is you are doing and what that service is, how difficult it is, how many months away from home, and missed holidays, and missed days with families, but for per- haps the greatest prize that any of us could have. 'Milt I' 1 . Av A The boisterous ceremonies of crossing the line are of such ancient vintage that their derivation is lost, such horseplay took place in the Middle Ages, and even before that when ships crossed the thirtieth parallel or passed through the Straits of Gibraltar. These early ceremonies were extremely rough and to a large degree were supposed to test the crew to determine whether or not the novices, the boots, on their first cruise could endure the hardships of a life at sea. Then, as now, it was primarily a crew's party, The Vikings are reported to have practiced similar ceremonies on crossing certain parallels. lt is highly probably that the present-day ceremony was passed on to the Angles, Saxons, and Normans from the Vikings. At an even earlier time there is record of ceremonies of propitiation. Neptune, the mythological god of the seas, was appeased by the seamen, and marks of respect were paid those of his under-water domain. It is of those days, even though Viking sailors had come to doubt the physical existence of Neptune. Nevertheless, Neptunus Rex is today the Majesty who rules in the ceremonies. Those who have crossed the line are called Sons of Neptune or Shellbacks . Bona fide Sons of Neptune always compose the cast for present-day ceremo- nies. fx -if-fm ' il ,. , . , es , ,, Q, ,L,,. ,R , . 5 . .' ,Mei .. I 'C 1 gr. wr, X515 'Lau 'vhvl t L win...
