F ,' uf rv - , - 5 If-,X ,.,, in I Commissioned on 28 March in Boston, Massachusetts, the USS ROBERT L. WILSON CDD-8477 was constructed by the Bath Iron Works Corporation, Bath, Maine. The keel was laid on 2 July 1945, and she was launched on 5 January 1946 under the sponsorship of Mrs. Joseph Wilson, mother of Private First Class Robert Lee Wilson, USMC, who was post- humously awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II. His citation reads in part: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the Second Bat- talion, Sixth Marines, Second Marine Division during action against en- emy Japanese forces on Tinian Island. Marianas Group on 3 August 1945. With a full peacetime allowance, the USS ROBERT L. WILSON car- ries about 260 officers and men. She has a length of 390 feet and displaces over 3.300 tons while being capable of speeds in excess of 30 knots. Having completed a nine-month facelifting in the Navy's Fleet Rehabil- itation and Modernization Program, FRAM I. she is equipped with two of the fleet's newest anti-submarine weapons, ASROC tAnti-Submarine Roc- ketb and DASH tDrone Anti-Submarine Helicopterb. Her main battery con- sists of two dual purpose 5 ,f38 caliber twin mounts. Thus, although specially aimed for anti-submarine duties, the USS ROBERT L. WILSON maintains the ability to handle all destroyer missions. Since her commissioning. she has completed twelve tours of service in the Mediterranean Sea, while making other cruises to Europe, the Caribbean area, and South America. She has been instrumental in train- ing both regular and reserve crews and midshipmen in the techniques of anti-submarine warfare and has also participated extensively in numer- ous f leet-wide peacetime exercises along the Atlantic seaboard. On 1 March 1963, the USS ROBERT L. WILSON entered the Phila- delphia Naval Shipyard to receive FRAM I modernization, designed to add eight years of usefulness to ships of the fleet. For eight months her status was changed to in commission, in reserve and active duty was resumed in November 1963. In January 1964 she was in Key West, Florida, and then underwent six weeks of intensive refresher training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The ultimate in training was achieved when the gun crews of the USS ROBERT L. WILSON set a record by being the first ship ever to score 100070 in the surface firing exercise of the Op- erational Readiness Inspection. In June 1964 she conducted her DASH qualification trials, and in July she departed for the Mediterranean and duty with the U.S. Sixth Fleet. During the cruise she visited ports in Italy, Greece and Spain and participated in the greatest amphibious operation since World War II, Steel Pike I. The first three months of 1965 were spent in an upkeep period, in local and anti-submarine operations, In April, the ROBERT L. WILSON proceeded to station 800 miles east of Bermuda to act as a rescue de- stroyer for America's first GEMINI Manned Space Shot Recovery Force. The ship participated in contingency operations in the Dominican Re- public area for two weeks in May, and on 1 June 1965 she commenced preparations for her 11th deployment to the Mediterranean Sea. After serving as Gunfire Support Ship at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the ROBERT L. WILSON participated in Spring board early in 1966. In early summer she participated in ASWEX III prior to her 12th deployment to the Mediterranean Sea in July 1966. After visiting more than a dozen ports in the Mediterranean and Middle East, including India and East Pakistan, the WILSON returned to Norfolk in mid-December for a wel- come period of leave and upkeep. .WW fn-W,t..f.w Fordham in July at Dartmouth t.

David CHARLES NIMITZ COMMANDER, USN Commander Charles Nimitz, USN, was graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946. His first tour of duty was on the cruiser USS PROVIDENCE as a junior gunnery officer. Since that time he has served in minesweeper, destroyer and amphibious type ships. In 1950-51, he commanded the USS GULL, a minesweeper engaged in operations off both coasts of Korea. During this period he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for opera- tions at Chinampo and Wansan. The GULL received a Navy Unit Commendation for her operations. Commander Nimitz subsequently commanded the destroyer escort USS THADDEUS PARKER and the tank landing ship USS LORAIN COUNTY both a part of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. In 1951, Commander Nimitz received post graduate training in Naval Intelligence and 3 course in the Italian language. Subsequent shore tours related to intelligence involved duty under the Commander in Chief U.S. Pacific Fleet as instructor at the Naval Intelligence School? duty with Joint Task Force Four, a combined Army-Navy-Air Force staff under Commander in Chief Atlantic, and, most recently, as Intelligence Officer on the staff of Commander Anti- Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. th fson of late Captfiili, USN, and Mrs. Otto Nimitz of Kerrville, Texas, he is married to e ormer lzabeth Wright of Washington, D.C. They have four sons. U.S.S. ROBERT L. WILSON CDD 8471 F.P.O. NEW YORK 09501 The 1966 deployment of the Uss ROBERT L. WILSON CDD ew? to the Mediterranean and Middle East, characterized by a high per- formance standard, provided exceptional cultural opportunities as well. We not only visited famous ports but we made new friends for the United States in unusual places. In future years, this cruise book will remind us of good shi mates and the interesting experiences we shared together. -. . 7 , x + C, .Q Q W H ' X fkliwquk-N ' C. E.

Feeding and paying the crew, keeping the storerooms stocked with the necessary repair items washing the clothes and cutting the hair is their repetitious, and somei what thankless, lot. Constantly hearing gripes from all makes service with a smile.. a bit difficult but we usually get what we need when we need it-and we haven't yet starved or missed a payday. fu x N'-M x M . , ...-Nm, , Q CS1 P.

WILSON, under command of Commander Charles Nimitz and bearing the flag of Commander Destroyer Division 362. departed Norfolk bound for the mysterious Mediterranean. This cruise was to be an eventful one carrying her crew as far as East Pakistan. In each port visited, from Rota to Chittagong, her crew were to see and visit historic places which have Served as foundations for their own government, literature, art and science. Ashore they were to take pride in the opportunity to further mutual understanding with the Fleet's many friends and to contribute to the peace and freedom in the Mediterranean.

Here, many of the natives used the Karnafuli River, which changed direction with the tide, for trans- portation, but most of us rode in gaily- painted, motor bike taxis. This port was the farthest point east reached by the WILSON, and was about 10,000 11151915 from Norfolk--nearly half-way around the world! l ar , H' fw4,g. Y f , . 'EEF' 'Tj' . ' f A X n,,..i,,.v.
