She was commissioned on the third of October of that yearnat Astoria, Oregon, and by the end of December found herslf completely fitted out, loaded with troops and equipment, and a full-fledged member of the Fifth Amphibious Force of the Pacific Plein. January of 1945 the SANBORN left Honolulu, where she had Spent her. first few commis- sioned months, and began her first trip to a battle area - Iwo Jima. The eighteenth of Febru- ary 1945 was D-Day on the bloody island, and the SANBORN played a dual role of supplier of men and lethal good s to the beach, and a refuge for wounded troops evacuated from the battle lines. On the second day of the assault her beach party suffered heavy personnel losses. D-Day plus ten saw the SANBORN put to sea again, carrying casualties to Guam. . She soon switched to a more deadly role when she loaded the First Battalion, Second Marine Regiment, at Saipan, and rehearsed at Tinian for her part in the invasion of Okinawa. Interest- ingly enough, the job of the SANBORN and the ships in her transport group was to conduct a 'demonstration landing' off the southern approaches to Okinawa, while the main attack force was to be put ashore on the western beaches. D-Day on Okinawa was the first of April 1945, and the grim men on the actual beach head found their going a little easier, thanks to the successful trick. To add to the enemy's confusion, a second 'demonstration landing' was conducted the followin mornin . Ten gdays lair, the SANBORN was on her way back to Saipan for a seven week stay, and then - home to San Francisco. News that Japan was willing to quit the war was received on the way, making the return trip even more enjoyable. But the SANBORN was given the word to re- turn to the western Pacific later in the summer. On the eighteenth of July, with the Eighty-sixth Division Field Artillery aboard, she pulled away from San Francisco, bound for Leyte, Philip- pine Islands. Later, she transferred occupation troops to Japan. By three October 1945, after one year of commissioned service, the SANBORN had sailed 44,000 miles, had visited ten western Pacific ports, and had transported 7,000 troops. Until March of 1946, she took part in the Magic Carpet' operation which brought thousands of battle- weary troops back home. Then, on three March 1946, the SANBORN joined the 'mothball' fleet at Stockton, California, to take a well earned rest. On six January 1951, the SANBORN was recommissioned at Stockton, with orders to proceed to San Diego to get back into fighting shape. She later sailed for the east coast for duty with the Amphibious- Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. She was justin time that year to participate in four ma- jor amphibious exercises. A yard period in Norfolk in 1952, and refresher training at Guant- anamo Bay Cuba witha stopover at Kingston J amaica for liberty prepared the SANBORN for her general mark of excellent in amphibious training exercise that year ' From January through March of 1953 the ship transported troops to Vieques in amphibious assault exercis l h Fl es n t 9 Spring the SANBORN reported to Commander Service Force Atlantic eet to transport several relief mobile construction battalions from Davisville Rhode Island to ggsgglanca French Morocco and Guantanamo Bay Cuba Then she rejoined the Amphibious ustlnbggll' the ZANBORN became the Afloat Gunnery School for the Amphibious Force In Aug I'SSum her earlier occupation of transporting mobile construction battalions from D ll glfaitvgnenfgei'-g1ngana'U0 BHY returnlng to Norfolk for amphibiou training and a moment of held aboinsic leet presented a Battle Efficiency Plaque to the U S S SANBORN in ceremonies Th Schoolenllesrgngf 1954 was consumed by another month as the Amphibious Force Afloat Gunnery pe md In Bostozf Sem?

SANBORN QAPA-1935 is be- ginning her first cruise to the uloveliest of seas , the Mediterranean! This is the climax of weeks of work. Supplies and provisions are aboard. Eight hundred Marine Corps personnel are embarked with their equip- ment, trucks, and jeeps. Every piece of gear is in top shape, and the ship is moving out. A glance at the Navigator's chart shows a planned track laid down across the Atlantic, through the 'Gates of Hercules' at Gibraltar, and into the old world of Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans. As the pages of the calendar turn, and as you leaf the pages of this book, those ports which are merely dots on the chart will spring to like when the experiences of the officers and men of the SANBGRN are told. Every sailor of the Mediterranean Sea is haunted by the seagoing men of long agog for through the thou- sands of years in which the blue Mediterranean has been sliced by craft under oars, sails and steam, every detail and mood has been described by those early seaman, and we can only share their sea with them. Yet the modern sailor might show the crafty Phoenician skipper a trick or two, for in the middle of the world' today sails one of the mightiest fleets in existence, the United States Sixth. Normally composed of aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, amphibious force vessels, tenders and supply ships, the Sixth Fleet is a self-supporting, mobile, powerful naval force. lts more than thirty ships are manned by approximately 20,000 officers and men, plus a reinforced battalion of Marines for good measure. The purpose of such a fleet is simply stated: lt is there to fulfill the United States' responsibility in maintaining world peace. ln doing so, the U. S. Navy gains invaluable experience in mock battles and landings, often in conjunction with forces of the NATO countries. During the leisure hours ashore in the historical ports ofthe Mediterranean, the U, S, sailor learns from the countries and their people, and he, in turn, teaches about the United States. Genuine good will comes as natu- rally to the American sailor as it does tothe friendly citizens of the Mediterranean countries. The men of the SANBORN are perhaps thinking of these things as the ship gets underway. Many are also taking inventory of themselves, for they know that it is each man's job successfully com- pleted which will combine to make an efficient fighting team. Only the best can be called upon to work long hours, often under adverse conditions, and still merit a place in the mighty Sixth Fleet. But they also know that they can look forward to the pleasant experiences to be found only in the Mediterranean, the sunning on the beaches, the sound of strange but friendly languages, the sights of the ancient world. This, then, is what they are heading for as they set their course across the wintry sea. Steady on zero seven zero!

He attended New York University, joined the Navy July 1941 and was commissioned in January 1942. He was first assigned to duty in the Atlantic aboard the PC 465, after six months becoming Commanding Officer of that ship. Almost two years later, he was transferred to the Pacific, where he served in APD, AF, AP and AKA TYPES. He later became the Commanding Officer of the DE 449. In 1952, Mr. Ward attended the General Line School at Monterrey, California, after which he became the Forcie Operations Officer on the staff of Commander Service Force U S Atlantic Fleet On 14 December 1954 Lieutenant Commander Ward re rted bo d the SANBORN for duty po a ar ll I ' ' za.1:....,fetl Captain Louis A. Bryan, U. S. Navy, Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. SAN- BORN QAPA-1935, was born in Lexington, Kentucky in 1908. He attended the Univer- sity of Kentucky and was graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1932. The first years of his Naval Career in- cluded service aboard the U.S.S. NEVADA and U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS, duty as a ferry pilot at Naval Air Station, Anacostia, atour of duty in the U.S.S. DALE, and a period as football coach at the U.S. Naval Academy. During World War ll, Captain Bryan served as Executive Officer of the U.S.S. DUNCAN, as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. SHUBRICK and, after duty on the Staff of Commander Destroyer Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. BLUE. He emerged from the war with the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and the Purple Heart. ln the early post-war years, Captain Bryan served as Executive Officer of the Naval Academy's Physical Training Depart- ment until 1949, when he was ordered to Bainbridge, Maryland, as Commanding Of- ficer of the Navy Preparatory School. Later, he became a student himself at the Naval War College in 1950. After serving as Commander, Escort Division 62 in 1951 and 1952, and two years on the Staff of Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Captain Bryan assumed command of the U.S.S.

This diversified organization, headed by Lieutenant H. C. Pratt, U.S.N., haS the responsibility of operation and maintenance of all propulsion and auxiliary machinery, and major repair to the hull, The five divisions of the department, totaling eighty-eight men, provide the ship with ventilation, heat, tele- phone service, fresh water in addition to electrical power to the lighting systems, winches and elec- tronic gear. Even the responsibility for the vital gyro compass lies in the Engineering Department personnel. A Division tends the auxiliary equipment, and repairs and maintains the deisel engines of the ship's twenty-six boats. lt also converts sea water to patable fresh water to meet the ship's huge daily require- ments. B and 'M' Divisionis responsible for keeping the main engines in top condition, as well as pro- viding the steam to run them and to heat the ship. E Division keeps an eye on all the electrical equip- ment and fixtures, from light bulbs to hefty deck winches. lt also is responsible for all interior communi- cations, including sound powered phones, the general announcing system and squawk boxes . R Division provides all of the departments aboard ship with experts in every phase of repair work. lt is also pre. pared at all times to minimize damage to the hull of the ship, to maintain water-tight integrity, and to take defensive measures against gas or atomic attack. Most of these jobs are done in remote spaces aboard ship where few people can observe the engineer at work. Consequently, the work done by the men of the Engineering Department is often overlooked by those topside, and the only recognition ofthe engineer's proficiency is the high spirit of the crew when the SANHORN returns from a safe and successful cruise.

A SANBORN sailor starts his day with breakfast, prepared and supervised bv the 'S' Divisions' Commissarymen. During the morning he may have occasion to submit a requisition for a swab or an electronic tube, or literally a thousand other items. This requisition filled by a storekeeper of the Supply Department. When the sailor finds his clean laundry on his bunk in the morning, it represents the work of an S Division Whip's Serviceman, who may have spent a good part of the night getting it there. After a nourishing dinner at noon, a stop at the ship's store is a good way to spend a tninute or two, There, through the efforts of another ship's serviceman, a complete, tempting stock of foreign and domestic good sare available, ranging from toilet articles to rich cashmere sweaters, lf he needs replacements for his uniform, he can purchase these, tw, at the Clothing and Small Stores salesroom, operated by yet another member of the Supply Department. Everytwo weeks he scans the pay list, on which the Supply Departments' Disbursing Clerks have calculated the account he receives in pay-line. They have also serviced his allotments, to his family, savings or insurance company account. The tailor ship provides him with pressing, alteration and repair service. After working hours, the ship's soda fountain opens up to sell tempting gedunk. The spirit of S Divisions' service extends into the wartiroom, where stewards mates plan, pre- pare and serve officers' meals, and also maintain the staterooms. By paying close attention to the details of the business of the day, .ind looking ,iheatl to tomorrows requirements, Lieutenant F. C. Cornell's Supply Department puts into expert practice the slogan of tht Supply Corps, 'Service to the Fleet . S Diwswn ,1 ff-4 Q --4 4' ir!

Nothing to do but hope for the best, eh, Leach? l L DECK DEPT The most impressive sight on the SANBORN is the 1-A' operation, when, in a few short hours, hundreds of troops are put over the side with their equipment to be dispatched into the beach for an amphibious landing. Boats must first be lowered safely and quickly, then troops debarked into them. Hatches, leading to the holds below, must be opened and heavy cargo extracted with professional care. Meanwhile, the landing craft are required to maneuver expertly to rendezvous points and then in waves to the beach. The efficiency of the SANBORN in carrying out this primary mission of leading, transporting, and debarking troops and equipment at an objective area, is a tribute to the hard working Deck Department. But another less dramatic job of the deck force consumes most of the time of the men ot' the First, Second and Third Divisions: the maintenance and upkeep of the thousands of square feet of steel which comprise the ship's decks, bulkheads, overheads and sides. The battle against rust is fought with Chipping hammers, scrapers, wire brushes, paint brushes, and gallons of paint, The men of the three divisions divide the ship vertically into thrids, and go about this important task with determination. Meanwhile, the Boat Group Division must tend its twenty-six boats, whether they .ire in the water to provide transportation for the ship, orin the skids where the scars of the last '1-A' can be mended. Lieutenant A. A. Warren, U,S,N, is the First Lieutenant and Head ofthe Deck Department on the SANBORN. As such, he is also responsible for the accurate fire and m.iinten.ince of the ship's tirinii- ment. O Division muSt know and understand its' guns well, for their correct anti efficient operation is essential for sustained defense against attack and the safety of the men who man them.

Aboard ship, and in the ports that lie at the edge of the 'jewel of Europe' called the Mediterranean Sea, we have watched winter turn to spring, cool sea winds turn to breezes freighted with smells of reawakening soil. Neither the stimulation of long amphibious exercises, nor the excitement of new cities, faces, and tongues, have prevented the crew of the SANBORN from sensing the strong appeal of the coming spring and summer, the reunion with families and friends at home. The last letters have been mailed from Barcelona. Below decks, souvenirs are stowed for sea, We must now let the routine of steady steaming see us through the twelve days across the Atlantic Ocean, into Hampton Roads and Norfolk. The primary purpose for our visit in the Mediterranean this spring was to provide a realistic reminder of our country's responsibility in keeping peace. We have worked and trained, spending most of our time at sea. We have brought ourselves to a high peak of readiness. But in doing so, we have merely exercised skills learned long before in 'state-side' operations. The new flavor in the past few months has been provided by a familiarity with the lands and peoples of the Mediterranean, allies we may someday join in keeping freedom secure in the world. We know a little better the countries which guard the strategic Mediterranean. We know a little better the people who live in those countries, their manner and environment which are so different from our own. The souvenirs and letters, we realize now, are able to tell only a portion of the story of our ex- periences in Algiers, Italy, Greece, Turkey, France and Spain. What they can't express, what no picture in this book can show, is the lingering warmth and high regard for the lands we have seen and which lie far over the horizon. So now, as we are homeward bound, we find that we have experienced a personal awakening this spring, encouraged by the breath of human understanding, and our homes, our families and ourselves fit more easily into a picture of a world of many peoples determined to be at peace with one another.
