BUSINESS MGR: WENNERBERG IC3 Dedication It is because Navymen really care about those Whom they leave behind when they go to sea, that sailors endure the long separations far from home. We all wish to preserve our system of government and the traditional American way of life. We recognize that our country provides the most favorable environ- ment in the world for the pursuit of happiness we have claimed as an inalienable right. We also recognize that every privilege is accompanied by responsibility, for every gain there must be sacrifice. This, then, is the reason why we sail from our homes, our families, and our loved ones. We have accepted the respon- sibility of defending our country in order that those who are dear to us may be assured of their rights to life, liberty, and happiness. Although we leave our loved ones, We never forget them. For this reason we wish to dedicate this cruise book to the wives, children, and sweethearts of the men of the Moore. We express our gratitude for their love and support. Forward The following are scenes of the U.S.S. Samuel N. Moore, ably serving as a unit of the powerful U.S. Seventh Fleet to preserve the peace. The views and settings represent a scattered composite of the spirit and environment of the ship during both perform- ance of duty and relaxation. Words and pictures can only sug- gest the complex combination of atmospheres that are theory and practice, work and play, man and machine, however, this collection is not intended to be an indoctrination for the uniniti- ated nor introductory familiarization, but an aggregation of glimpses in retrospect, useful and worthy of reminiscence by those who participated in the cruise. For although the MOORE abounds in complicated electronic equipment, rugged propulsion machinery, sophisticated weapons systems, and the services to maintain them, the backbone of the ship is the men who operate these inanimate mediums. These men, coming from widely vary- ing family backgrounds and from almost every state in the union, represent a true cross-section of America. Combining their talents and directing their efforts toward a single goal results in bringing to life the inanimate machinery of the ship. Because of their efforts, what was once complicated, even cumber- some, becomes a smooth operating unit of our Navy. fwiif lim I3 Qflflll ai ' db A message from the Captain As 'fMooremen we need not be iemi d d tl , if f' n e iat the World is indeed in a trou- bl d t ' ' ' e s ate.

Ring 7 3 ' vo 171 -' C ,Q When one thinks of a warship, the thought that stands out in his mind is the mental picture of the ship at general quarters with her main armament blazing away. So it is with the Ram- ming Sammy . The Moore has three 5 inch 38 caliber twin mounts, these guns are always ready and able to give their utmost in any situation. Evidence of this fact is noted by the proud E that mount 53 now bears. This has been possible only because of the hard work that the Gunner's mates in Second Division have accomplished. Al- ways ready willing and able, these men take pride in their work and their accomplishments never go unnoticed.

This primarily includes our four boilers, units that ' re feed water heat lt to a point Where receive pu , it changes to steam, and release this steam into the lines leading to the main propulsion turbines and various auxiliaries. Many pieces of associated equipment are needed in conjunction with operating a boiler. These, too, are maint.ained by the BT's. Forced draft blowers su ily air to the boilers for proper combustion. Pl Fuel oil pumps bring oil from deep tanks to be ignited within the boiler. Complicated and potentially highly dangerous machinery, like boilers, calls for alert and highly trained personnel to man it. The men of B division are just this. They are skilled at casualty control and are always on the alert, making sure the plant is operating safely and efficiently.

Throughout the ship there is always something in need of repair. It may be as insignificant as a light bulb, or as necessary as a gyro repeater. It may be as small as the dog on a hatch or as large as the motor whale boat. R Division contains machinists mates, enginemen, machinery repairmen, ship-fitters, damage controlmen, electricians, and interior com- munications electricians. The men in these ratings are hand picked by the Navy due to their ability in quick emergency repair, jury rigging and fine intri- cate Work with big hammers. We of the repair force have two mottos: 1- if we can't fix it forget it. 2- The impossible takes a little thought, for miracles we must consult the Chaplain. ll?

It is responsible for the procurement, receipt, storage, issue, and accounting of General Stores Materials, repair parts, ordnance and electronic equipment, Ship's Store Stock, and provisions. In other Words, if you need, new gear, spare parts, hair cuts, your laundry done, a candy bar, razor blade, and of course if you want to get paid. . .need we say more? The Supply Department is actually iive ratings working as a closely knit and Well drilled team. They are Storekeepe1's, Disburs- ing Clerks, Commissarymen, Stewards, and Ship's Servicemen.

To the statistician, however, such a cruise suggests figures that tell a story. These are some of the iigures that tell the story of the 4'Rammin Sammy and her crew. The earth upon which we live is roughly 35,000 miles around. You can readily see, then, that the 50,000 nautical miles our ship steamed on the seven month cruise is no small amount. We spent 141 days actually underway at sea. The longest single stretch was for 35 days off the coast of Viet Nam. To stay at sea and on the job, we called upon the services of many auxiliary ships, replenishing underway 33 times from oilers, 3 times from ammunition ships, 3 times from refrigerator ships, seven times from dry stores ships, and 8 times from air- craft carriers. Once we even played ammunition ship ourselves, when we transferred ammo to the U.S.S. MADDOX. The ship's insatiable boilers consumed 3,201,349 gallons of black fuel oil, 8076 of which was received while underway. Our evaporators produced 2,656,168 gallons of feed water to be turned into steam as well as 968,868 gallons of fresh water for washing, drinking, and cooking. Speaking of cooking-and eating-the crew of the MOORE ate 16,254 pounds of meat, 2,780 dozen eggs, 5264 gallons of milk, 5,254 pounds of butter, and 29,400 pounds of potatoes. We didn't always have ice cream for desert but we did manage to put away 1,078 gallons of it. We ate 5,985 pounds of oranges and apples. Our paymaster had to part with S26,7 55 for bread and coiee alone. Statistics do not tell the whole story, though. No one can put into figures the amount of pride and satisfaction we feel for having completed this successful voyage far from home. Nor can one translate into figures the meaning of a job well done. X 61 Q ff? :B x 0 Contracted for on August 7, 1942, the USS Samuel N. Moore CDD 7473 has a standard displacement of 2200 tons. She Was launched at 8:50 A.M., Wartime, Wednesday, 23 February 1944 at Staten Island, New York. Named for Captain Samuel Nobre Moore, U.S. Navy, it is the first ship to bear the name. Captain Moore was born in Washington, D.C., on 7 September 18915 entered the Naval Academy in 1909, and was commissioned Ensign in 1913. He served aboard the CALIFORNIA, NEW ORLEANS, NICHOLSON, MICHIGAN, and PITTSBURG. He later commanded the CANOPUS, MCLEISH, WILLIAM B. PRESTON, HAZELWOOD and LAMBERTON. He Was Com- mander of Destroyer Division Seven and Destroyer Division Twenty-One. On the night of 9 August 1942, while in command of USS QUINCY, Captain Moore was killed when his ship, after con- tributing materially to the successful landing of our troops at Guadalcanal, was sunk by Japanese surface forces in the First Battle of Savo Island. USS Samuel N. Moore fDD 7475 saw much and varied action in the Asiatic-Pacific Area, and Won five battle against enemy forces during the second world war. She was one of nine destroyers Who made a sweep into Tokyo Bay, the heart of Japanese Imperial Forces, and succeeded in sinking enemy forces in this harbor. Again during the Korean Conflict the Samuel N. Moore was called on and again displayed the fighting spirit which makes her the great ship she is, when at one time she set a rate-of-fire record for her class during shore bombardment which still stands. stars for action Z'- 'T - -'- l OFFICER'S ROSTER CALIFORNIA BROWN, R.
