Named fm the industrial city of Rochester, N. Y., the ship was built in Quincy, Massachusetts. December 20 1946 was the day her life began. Mrs. Herbert Eisenhart, wife of the president of Bausch and Lomb Optical Company, was the sponsor via the traditional bottle of champagne. Rochester got her first exercise as training ship for the Navy Reserve Program in the Atlantic. ln T947, she cruised from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba teaching midshipmen the Navy way. The flavlfg always present in a new machine were now corrected, Rochester was ready for her first duty assignment. lt as a big one, Flagship of the Sixth Fleet. Accordingly, most of i948 was spent in the Mediterranean ea. On her return Rochester spent the next eighteen months in routine operations' and further training duty. 'ln June, ll950, the ship was ordered to the Pacific, her new home port was Long Beach, California. Shortly thereaffer, Rochester sailed for the Far East and her tirst tour in the Western Pacific as Flagship for coivissvsrsirnrilr. P lt is in lgfattle that a man-o'-war iustifies itself, peace time operations are only a preparation for battle. With the ou brfeak of Korean hostilities, the Rochester was one of the hrst ships on the line . She was i ,out to iustif hh-ar existence. ,V The 'Rich served a total of three tours in the Korean War. ln the first of these, she operated fdf' eight-one onsdcutive days as a unit of Taskforce 77. ln addition to her duties as Flagship, Rochester delil A i vered fire suppicjrt, provided helicopter services, and performed other missions. ln particular, an eight day period, of conti ous life support om her heavy guns .contributed materially to the holding of the Hugnam beachhelllm during gre withdrawal of our that area.

In contrast to the very logical disection of the ship into divisions, and responsibilities, there is the X Division, which seems to be in the Misc. category on the ship's roster. lt is suspected that the X Division is a catch-all for those personnel that the Navy overlooked in the ship's organization. The X Division is the staFf for the LTJG Gregory H. DAVIS San MGIBO, California Administrative Assistant Administration Department. One might call the Administration Department a iack of all trades, for it involves many unrelated re- sponsibilities. There is the Captain's Oftice, which handles much of the ship's paperwork, ofticial incoming and outgoing mail, and the data pertaining to the ship's olticers. There is MYTR, the ship's radio station, which transmits over a closed circuit, the ship's entertainment system. The staff which manages the ship's library, crew's lounge, and the welfare proiects headed by the chaplain is a part of the X Division. The Personnel Office is concerned with the business pertaining to the enlisted men, from the Personnel Office comes the Plan of the Day , the schedule of navy life. A member of the Administrative Department, the Public Information OFficer, keeps the world informed of the events concerning the Rochester. The ship's photographers, who help supply the pictures for the Cruise Book, are part of the X Division, as are the Rochester's cops , the Master at Arms force, who inforce the rules and regulations, and keep the Roch --- squared away . Diffuse as the iobs of the Administration Department are, they are highly necessary to an eFficient Rochester. ln any operation, what is miscellaneous is often what is most essential.

They wanted to see the 'Rochf The messenger had a counter, by the end of the afternoon, it said that six thousand visitors had come aboard. The 'Roch' has been in many ports, and handled many visitors, but ,these were sure dilgterent. For one thing, there were so many of them, but the big difference was that every few minutes, an Australian would come up to the JOOD with the same request. lt usually went something like this . . . The wife and l thought that one of your chaps might like to come out to our place for a little food and drink tonight. Do you know of anyone who might be interested? . . . Man, it was never like this in the states! Around l300, l went up on the Ol level to answer any questions the visitors might have. lt wasn't long before I began to enioy the iob, answering questions asked by Australian girls is no problem. Late in the afternoon, as the visitors were leaving, an old man came up to me. He was very short, but looked stocky because he had so many clothes on. He was bundled up like he was going to the North Pole. He must have been at least ninety. He said something to me, but l couldn't understand him because his voice was so soft. l bent over to hear him better. The old guy had tears in his eyes. He said God Bless you Yanks I You could have knocked me over with a feather. -- N., These 'Aussies' sure dress funny, I mean the shorts, and all. like this one guy I was taking Ground the ship. He had on boondockers, and a pair of shorts, and a real thin shirt. He must have been cold, because I was none too warm in undress blues. A real outdoor type, the 'Aussie' I mean. Deep tan and all, and that blonde hair that looks real English. He sure was typical of the people in Sydney. You should have heard the accent on him. Well, I was talking to this guy, and lasked him where he was from, lhgured some place out in what they call the 'bush'. When he said Colorado Springs , I almost flipped. Turns out he passed through Australia during the war, and liked it so much that he came back for good. After a few days of him showing me around, meeting his friends and all, I began to see the guy's point. After my hitch is up 'Colorado Springs' may have company. ,, , .f A IQ!!

There were colored streomers oll over The lifelinesg the pier wos crowded with girls. There was one gal in particularg she was standing apart from the rest waving and crying like a cloud- burst. Nobody was in a very good mood. I lust happened t.o glance up, and I saw about fifteen white hats go sailing over my head onlo the pier. I probably would have done the some thing if l had thought of it. The way the group was snifting, I knew there wasn'I a dry eye in the division One of the sea- men summed up the ship's feelings pretty well. I overheard him say, as we moved out into the steam ,... You con't have a soft heart and be in the Navy. A week after the ship left, everyone had signed a petition ask- ing to go back. The Rochester had left part ol its heart with people ol Sydney. Power to move our heavy cruiser is the responsibility of the Engineering Department.

To the traveler, some countries seem more hostile tlzan others, to those on the Rochester who had never been to Japan before, it seemed somewhat mysterious and untrust- worthy. For we were brought up on those misconceptions which made good propaganda during World War ll. As the ship steamed up Tokyo Kaiwan in the early light of October hfth, the weather was fog bound, the dawn especially quiet. The setting was perfect for suspicion. The hills surrounding the Naval Base at Yokosuka began to step out of the haze. Occasionally, small fishing boats would appear from nowhere, and chug by the ship close aboard. To the fertile imagination, it seemed obvious that many eyes were watching. As the morning matured, the vis- ibility improved. lt was then clear that someone was watching. He was peering over the hills to the south of us. lt was Fuii San. if idly? We rounded the point, and headed into Truman Bay to our pier. On tho other side of the pier from our berth was the Helena, the ship we had como to relieve. This new place began to look more friendly. As a familiar tune. The Gillette Cavalcade ot Sports was on the airl It sounded we moved closer, we heard like home. There was a loud cheer from the Helena, it was an American cheer. We began to think we were home. A month later, most of us agreed that Yokosuka was home ,... home away from home. -A -ri- 1 'Wd r QU v QL! YI' xfm , QAD' S-ff l uf' K.

We shopped in the small shops along the sidewalks of the Ginza and in the large, modern department stores. We visited the Museum, ate in Japanese restaurants and saw a striking Japanese stage production where women were women and men nonexistent in the cast. We wandered down the wide avenues and marvelled at the size of the city, that once was destroyed sr by fire and bombs, and the number of people living there. We learned that the earthquake of t923 destroyed half of the city and that was the reason for the western influence. We thrilled at the sights but once again it was time to return to the ship at Yokosuka. We, like Tokyo, had had a busy day. Our feet and our film supply were exhausted. After boarding the ship, a few of us, a bit under the weather, dropped wearily and gratefully to sleep. But Tokyo, as we had seen, never sleeps. We either went on a tour pro- vided by the ship, singly or in pairs, but most ol us managed to visit Tokyo. The sight tliat greeted us was the mogt western influenced city we had yet seen in Japan-- lt was the City that never sleeps.

The SEVENTH FLEET has a big responsibility in keeping the peace and showing the American flag through- out the Western Pacific. The Rochester's role as flagship has been truly an important one in that the performance of the ship and the behavior of the crew has been constantly observed by the leaders and peoples of foreign nations. The activities of the men ashore have done much to enhance our relations with the Japanese and other nations with whom they have come in contact. The Rochester has fulfilled her duties as flagship in a smooth and smart manner. Because of this the ship's company can look back on this tour of duty in WesPac with great pride of accomplishment.

I I The Electronics Technicians lET'sl are divided into two groups, Radar and Communica- tions. The Radarlgroup has cognizance of the repair of the radars, radar repeater systems, and electronic navigation equipment. The Communications group has cognizance for the repair of the radio transmitters, receivers, remote control units and systems, ship's entertainment system, and associated equipment. The ET is in each group periodically to afford experience on all electronic equipment. His working hours are often irregular, we find him anywhere from the mast tops to the bowels of the ship. At sea, the ET's are busy keeping the electronic equipment operating, in port, the equipment is subjected to preventive maintenance, which entails cleaning, lubrication,and calibration at regular intervals. The ET works in close cooperation with the equipment operator. When something isn't functioning properly, Call the ET's . The ET assigned isolates and repairs the trouble, which, in some instances, means tedious hours of circuit testing and analysis. An occassional shock tells him that all circuits are not grounded, very soon he acquires a respect for the potentials lurking within the equipment. Military efficiency is measured, to a great extent, by electronic capability. Without the services of the ET, the Rochester would be quite helpless and isolated in its role as a modern fighting ship. With the advent of the airplane into modern warfare, it became necessary to devise a system whereby ship's would be provided with a means of detecting aircraft. In the early l920's, this means came about through the invention of radar, a device sending out a radio signal which is reflected from a solid obiect, picked up by an extremely sensitive receiver, and displayed on a scope for easy viewing. Thus, a man-o'-war became capable of detecting targets well beyond the range of the human eye. In its early days, this new gimmick was subject to a great deal of skepticism, it was only given cursory attention. Since that time, the single small radar set off in a corner has evolved into the modern complex of radars and communications systems known as CIC lCombat Information Centerl. CIC is the central unit of a single ship charged with the collection and assimilation of combat data in order that operational decisions may be intelligently made. lt may be the tracking of a single small fishing boat in the South China Sea, or it may be the maze of activity which surrounds us during task force operations---in either case, the fact that a well trained team can collect, display, evaluate, and pass on that information necessary to fight, the ship helps the captain to make the decisions he must make. --- 7- -- -I LTJG Robert R COSGROVE Sullivan Missouri The age of the atom a d the supersonic fighter have increased the responsibility of CIC many times over what it was in VVorld War ll Ra er than having to concern ourselves only with a small forma tion perhaps live miles wide and with aircraft capable of 200 to 300 knots we now must worry about formations perhaps l00 miles cross and with planes which can come upon us at speeds of better f f fy? f f f an l000 knots lt is n n ZZ ZZf6 6, Ersis Clydel-l O WO ef RVIIGI Pe 'lSYlVO 'f' so much of her time to air defense exercises ADEXI fo it is through the constant training of our CIC team with the teams of other ships LTIG John E C R tr yy Ccgnflnue VVENCFRT WAIII RS Lebanon Colo 1 o Spring p,,n,,5y,v,,n,,, foiomyo ing our home shores maintain its historic role of defend IT Th ' I I , . . , f f SHAFFER that the Rochester should devote I 1 ' , , ' ' A ik , , , , 7 LTIJ irltairl A ll'lGl OL IXIG will to .JY T .T Q A , 0 it tl .E gi, E I J 0 , l T 'Tk Yam .

Louisville, Kentucky Waukesha, Wisconsin Des Moines, Iowa Miami, Florida Before the invention of the radio, ships relied on lights and flags to communicate with one another, Vtfith the advent of electronic com- munication, these means as- sumed a secondary role, they became useful for short range visual communication among ships in formation. One might think that radio would com- pletely replace signalling in this manner, but radio is susceptible to interception by enemy receivers, whereas signal lights or flags can only be detected within visual range. Wie assume that the enemy will never be in visual range of our ships for very long, consequently, the tra- ditional methods of com- munication, slightly modern- ized, are the most secure methods.

HAIR, Kenneth W Bglkeiv Gogrgid Chino Caliloinia Glen falls, Oregon Noinian R Joseph H, Richmond, Virginia Whittier, California Adel, Iowa Alexandria, Ohio The Signal Bridge, manned by the OS Division, is responsible for efficiency in visual signalling, as the OR Division is responsible for efficiency in radio signalling. When the Rochester is steaming in company with other ships, the signal gang must be continually alert for signals from the formation. For example, a flag hoist signal, ln that case, the OTC lOfficer in Tactical Commandl hoists a signal, the other ships respond by hoisting the same signal. When understood, each ship hauls the signal all the way up f two-blocks it l. When the OTC sees all the signals two-blocked , he knows that all ships understand, the signal is then executed , or hauled down, meaning that all must carry out the message sent. ln addition to their primary duty of signalling, the OS Division maintains a lookout watch, informing the Officer of the Deck of all occurrences within visual range. Alertness then, is the iob of the Signal Bridge. K Without it, the ship would be blind in one of its most indis- pensable eyes. 5' PARENT, Gregory A. BRISTER, Michael W. PROCTOR, Norris W.

The only thing that seemed to exist on this beach was the enlisted men's club, some entertainment was provided by our own Seven- th Fleet Band, and some by the club's band. Only a few of us caught cabs and went to the nearest town located some fourteen miles away. On our way we could see that the industrious people of Okinawa had used every square foot of ground in farming activities.

As we walked down the main streets of Keelung we saw QYOUPS Of fishing iunks and men sitting at the waters edge trying their luck at fishing which is one of the main diets of the Formosan people aside from the rice and sugar cane.

The rivers edge being so close that our wake was actually splashing over its banks.

Picture taking here will be easy! Which way to the main part of town? Better not ask a policeman, not unless you can speak French, which is only one of three languages spoken here. The people of Saigon are relatively the same as those of any Asiatic country, with its child beggars and overcrowded living conditions due to it's evergrowing population.

On the fantail, the third division may be using the ship's crane to hoist out boats or vehicles. Or perhaps they are handling the stern lines or wire. Placing a sedan in a pitching, small craft with only a foot to spare is an intricate operation. The lourth,tifth, sixth and seventh divisions may be lowering accommodation ladders or rigging out boat booms. To keep the maze of guys, guess-warps, lazy lines, iacob's ladders, topping lifts, strongbacks and hand lines on a boat boom, from becoming foul is an art of its own. The rigging and lowering of a bulky accommodation Ayres , -ss.r4v y ladder with platforms, l-l-frames, braces, vangs, wish- bone, and outriggers is not a simple iob, and as it must be done over the side, it is also a very dangerous one. ,fig .2 ' .',,,,,....-. f cs Zu ,5 . t t wrt' .sw t with the time element. ln addition there are many A olution which involves almost every deck division - and provides a photographer's paradise, or securing i for sea--topside boats, vehicles and other gear that l must be secured for typhoon weather every time the ship leaves port. r All this must be done in addition to scrubbing , and holystoning of decks, the battle with rust, shining of bright work and last but not least, the scrubbing and painting of the ship from bow to stern and waterline to masthead.

A COMSEVENTHFLT was testing the readiness of the AA Battery, and our i gun crew responded well by firing a round at the setting sun within a few minutes. The time would have been much faster if the gun crew l had been convinced that they really were to expend one round rather I than simulate fire. l ss? ggi .J W A f v' s sttii ll W A A M if ' 3 CAPT J.
