The Golden Bear departed for the Western Pacific and Arabian Gulf on Iuly 23, 2001, anticipating 180 days of steady operations replenishing the five ships of the Carl Vinson Battle Group. On September 11, rounding the southern tip of lnclia headed for the Arabian Gulf, she found herself in a much different environment. As naval forces from the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Italy and Iapan arrived in the waters off Pakistan, SACRAMENTO became one of the most important assets in OEE From September 4 to December 23, the crew sighted land a total of four times, for only a few hours, to hastily on-load provisions and weapons before returning to sea to support four carrier battle groups, three amphibious ready groups, and multi-national coalition forces from six different countries. SACRAMENTO completed a total of 175 alongside replenishments with 43 different ships, including four aircraft carriers, transferring more than 19 million gallons of marine diesel fuel and more than 15 million gallons of aviation fuel, 3300 lifts of ammunition and thousands of pallets of food, stores, parts, and mail. Practically every gallon of fuel used by and every bomb dropped in Afghanistan from a CARL VINSON jet came from SACRAMENTO. When a crisis unfolds anywhere in the world, the President asks Where are the carriers? -the Battle Group Commander asks Where is the AOE? USS SACRAMENTO- Ready for Service! AUEA 5 L.

After two weeks of loading ordnance at Indian Island Naval Magazine, SACRAMENTO was ready in all aspects to steam into harms way in support of the Carl Vinson Battle Group. Eighteen months of main- tenance and training culminated in one pivotal day that all lines- were taken in and the ship left the Puget - Sound for foreign waters halfway around the globe. X The only way SACRAMENTO can accomplish its mission is if Sailors are on board and operating the ship. Sailors have families, and no amount of training can completely prepare a Sailor for the challenges of Q-Q separation from their loved ones. Well prepared for what lay ahead, SACRAMENTO slipped out of sight from Port Hadlock and headed west. 2 fa X 'NY' 'if' -si 'i N - e- -V an A f' ' af' .2 ' . 'Q' '-.-- K. -- ,.

Employing two Cl-I-46D helicopters, they conducted vertical replenishment, logistics, VIP support, search and rescue, and special operations in support of the carrier battle group. Eight officers and 24 Sailors flew and maintained these 36-year-old aircraft. During deployment, the Eightballers achieved a 100 percent mission completion rate and flew more than 900 flight hours, which resulted in the transfer of more than 1000 passengers and 4,300 tons of cargo and mail. Supporting Gperation ENDURING FREEDOM, Detachment Eight supported five carrier battle groups and the ships of five foreign nations-Britain, Canada japan, Australia, and France. Often called 'Creyhoundj' UPSf FED-EXQ' or Life Flight , the Eightballers get it done right and on time.

There are four workcenters that combine to form the Executive Team. Personnelmen are every enlisted Sailor's best friend. The Personnel Office is responsible for maintaining all enlisted service records, administering the Navy- wide advancement exams, inputting reenlistments, extensions and qualifications, and processing all transfers, separations and retirements. Back down in the Mall you find the rest of Admin. The Captain's Office is manned by Yeomen and is responsible for maintaining ship's instructions, awards, preparing personal correspondence, the Plan of the Day, and a plethora of other administrative tasks. The Master-at-Arms and Legalman combine to form the Legal Office. The MAAs maintain good order and discipline on board and lead our Force Protection efforts against possible attack, as well as daily messing and berthing inspections to ensure the ship's cleanliness. Our Legalman provides command legal advice, heads up all investigations for NIP violations, and ensures all the paperwork involved is accurate. Our NCs man the Career Counselor office. They head up all Professional Development Boards, provide career advice 'Q- 'Qs-V MACSQSWXAWJ Lowe is to the junior Sailors, assist in obtaining transfer orders and special programs, counsel on military benefits for those retiring and separating, and lead in the retention efforts always on the look-out for another quality Sailor to Stay Navyf' One lone body interweaves these separate entities into the finely-oiled machine it has become. The Admin Officer's presence is felt throughout the command as he gives the daily plug for eval and award inputs while on watch on the bridge, helo- control, or usually as the XO's right hand. Transferring shortly after deployment, his battle-cry of Spell-check, spell-check, spell- check! will be sorely missed! PNCQSW!

Time It will pass everyone by without care, And cannot be grasped, its lighter than air. Time It should be allotted, scheduled and used, But usually is wasted, squandered, abused.

Ready to respond to need, we provided the best dental care in the North Arabian Sea. Working around the clock, you may wonder how we keep up that friendly customer service. Let's just say that some days putting that smile on our face was like pulling teeth. Even when the Water stopped running and the Waves were high, there was jaw Breaker and DT3 yanking and pulling your wisdom teeth, one tooth at a time. Neither sun, nor rain, nor dark of night stopped us from doing our duty. Every procedure, from cleaning your teeth to putting those pretty silver fillings in your head, was a joy and privilege for this SAC team. So just Remember that LT Drill and Fill Crecelius, DT1 Poo-Poo Pulu, and DT3 Pretty Petty are alwa s the . y re to provlde exceptional dental care to the crew. 26 'ly DENTA DEP RTME T LT Crecelius in 9, UTI Vulu DT3 Petty xl' rson IDN rx4m..-.- UN Ande ,-.,, .rv :fi PI! - 1 , , 5 , 'K A ' .1 M53 Q: aff If wszsw . 4' V4.1 ,gnu ,. ,A ,, -...

They tame the fire breathing dragons of the fireroom. They keep them alive and well and nurse the steam from these ghastly beasts to feed the underlying main engines and drive the electron creator which feeds life to the ship. They take salt water and magically transform it into fresh water to provide this life giving miracle to the ships crew. They toil in an environment that is not suited for life to give life to a 38-year young ship of great beauty and prowess known as SACRAMENTO There is no glamour to their job, no glorious shooting down of the enemy or waving of banded hats to the crowd as the ship ventures into port. These men and women toil day and night. They are the unsung heroes, for without them this ship we know as SACRAMENTO would be a lifeless hulk of metal. Few know their pain, even fewer know their faces, but these people are the heart and soul of this mighty warship. :rl .l 545155. .. ,,. J urs' A ' -,w .man -' n X , w N. fi' Q f 2 I i.

They continually exhibit the talent and experience to surpass all training cycles, inspections, evaluations, and supported and de ployed with the Carl Vinson Battle Group to the Western Paci fic, Arabian Sea, and the Arabian Gulf. The Boatswains Mates conduct maintenance on all equipment and consistently maintain the preserva- tion and cosmetic repairs to keep SACRAMENTO looking great. ln some cases, where rust is hard to getat theres always one rule of thumb to remember, Once for dust, twice for rust! Machinist Mates, Electricians Mates and Enginemen are forever known as Fresh Air Snipes? Alwats on top of their game, able to correct any discrepancy at a moments notice.

A The Work is hard and dangerous, the going rough at times, the parting from loved ones painful, but the companionship of ust Navy laughter, the all for one and one for all' philosophy of the sea is ever present. I like the serenity of the sea after a day of hard ships work, as flying fish flit across the wave tops and sunset gives way to ight. Ilike the feel of the Navy in darkness - the masthead lights, the red and green navigation lights and stern light, the Qlsating phosphorescence of radar repeaters - they cut through the dusk and join with the mirror of stars overhead. And I like lifting off to sleep lulled by the myriad noises large and small that tell me that my ship is alive and well, and that my shipmates gwatch will keep me safe. 1 llike quiet midwatches with the aroma of strong coffee - the Lifeblood of the Navy - permeating everywhere. And I like ietticwatches when the exacting minuet of haze-gray shapes racing at flank speed keeps all hands on a razor edge of alertness. like the sudden electricity of General quarters, general quarters, all hands man your battle stations , followed by the hurried iamor of running feet on ladders and the resounding thump of watertight doors as the ship transforms herself in a few brief iC0nds from a peaceful workplace to a weapon of war - ready for anything. And I like the sight of space-age equipment manned llY0l1ngsters clad in dungarees and sound-powered phones that their grandfathers would still recognize. In 'llike the traditions of the Navy and the men and women who made them. I like the proud names of Navy heroes: Halsey llmllzf Perry Farragut, john Paul lones.

IWAS A SAILOR ONCE. l WAS PAR li Ulf ll lli NAVY Sr THE NAVY WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF X: 107 H OMECOMIN G The Golden Bear had other goals it was tracking, too. Each Sailgr was encouraged to set professional and personal goals for themselves, called Marks on the Bulkheadj' in which to help pass the time. Some Sailors chose to spend time in the ships gym, while others worked on studying for advancement exams. More than 150 Sailors signed up for and completed six college courses taught by on board instructors. SACRAMENTO advanced 53 Sailors to Petty Officer Third Class, 16 to Petty Officer Second Class, six to Petty Officer First Class, and eight to Chief Petty Officer. Additionally 58 Sailors, including 38 on their first tour, re-enlisted to continue their careers in the Navy receiv- ing more than S600,000 in tax free Selective Re-enlistment Bonuses. Another significant accomplishment was the attainment of 100 percent qualification of all Second Class Petty Officers and above as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialists. Only after displaying a high level of professional knowledge is a Sailor authorized to wear the Surface Warriors crossed cutlass insignia. As a result of this remarkable achieve- ment, SACRAMENTO was able to proudly fly the Silver Surface War- fare Excellence Pennant on her forward mast as she steamed into Bremerton. Much was missed during those six long months at sea. While the crew diligently worked more than 114 days without a port visit, seven babies were born to SACRAMENTO families. An engineering department 189-strong, who maintained and Op- erated the ships boilers, propulsion equipment and auxiliary eqtlipmenf supported this herculean effort. The Quartermasters prepared and plot- ted on 50 separate charts, while the ships Boatswains Mates flew m0f9 than 450 fuel and cargo rigs. In all, 637 Officers, Chief Petty Officers and Sailors worked together to complete the ships mission-C0H1b3t logistics. The reason SACRAMENTO was able to return safely with- out mishap or casualty was due to the extraordinary teamwork and discipline of every crewmember. In all, SACRAMENTO traveled 51,343 nautical miles, m0I'9 than twice the distance around the world. Heading out to sea from Pearl Harbor on Ianuary 14, 20021 the crew spent their last week at sea with family and friends Wl10 flew out to Hawaii to meet the ship and accompany their loved 01195 home' IITLSQTSI' had the Opporiumfy to watch sAcRAMENTo do what She does best-transfer ammunition, fuel and stores to other shiP5 in the battle group.
