After retuming from our 1966 Mediterranean deployment on the first of August, SHADWELL made all preparations for entering the ship yards. . . it was to be our first yard period in nearly three years. As good fortune would have it. our three-and- a-half month yard stay was spent in Newport News. Va., about a thirty minute drive from home. We entered the yard with ideas and plans on how to make our ship more ready for sea and a more comfortable home in which to live. Many long days and nights were spent adapting these plans to the physical shipg many plans had to be redesigned and new ideas emerged which would eventually increase and strengthen our shipboard capabilities. On 5 January 1967, SHADWELL was ready to leave Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock to challenge and test her many adaptations. After several days of intensive tests our months of work were met with success. Our plans were to depart soon for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for operational training and then to AOTU for amphibious training. All the while making prep- arations for our forthcoming Med deployment. We left the yard a new ship with a new crew, eager to leam and to improve. . .And thus, our story begins. THE KEEL OF USS SHADWELL CLSD-153 was laid in New- port News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Newport News, Virginia, during February 1944. Exactly three months later, on May 24, Miss Mary GREENMAN, daughter of Captain W. G. GREENMAN, USN, christened Hull 407 as USS SHADWELL, Landing Ship Dock 15. On June 24, 1944, SHADWELL was com- missioned in the U.S. Navy at ceremonies in the Naval Ship- yard, Portsmouth, Virginia. Her design having been conceived by the British, SHAD- WELL was originally contracted for delivery to the United Kingdom. and was assigned the names HMS TOMAHAWK and HMS WATERWAY prior to being taken over by our Navy. SHADWELL is the first ship to bear the name. She commemo- rates the birthplace and early home in Charlottesville, Virginia, of Thomas Jefferson, our third president. After christening, a three month period was spent in fitting out and shakedown. In August 1944, SHADWELL sailed for the West Coast. SHADWELL departed the United States on October 20, 1944 proceeding to Guadalcanal to join the Amphibious forces in the South Pacific. After a brief period of routine transport duties. she was assigned to Task Force 78. In December 1944, after embarking units of an Army Engineering Battalion, SHADWELL proceeded through the treacherous Philippine Sea to participate in the invasion at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. In spite of heavy air. surface, and submarine opposition, SHADWELL's guns remained silent during the entire voyage to the objective area due to the extreme effectiveness of the screening units. However on D Day, January 9, 1945, shortly after unloading her troops and cargo, and while getting underway to return to Leyte. SHADWELL bagged a Japanese Zero. On a return trip to Luzon later in January 1945, Task Group 78.8 of which SHADWELL was a part, was attacked by three enemy torpedo planes. Two were shot down by protective aircraft, but the third, after escaping in the darkness for 3 short time. returned from the high hills to press home an at- tack. The For-cehopened fire, but the attacker was able to release his deadly missile before he passed overhead and crashed into the sea. Seconds later the torpedo ripped into the Starboard side of SHADWELL just forward of amidships leaving a gaping sixty-foot hole where once the side had been. The Task Force steamed on, leaving two destroyers to pick up survivors, The crew was determined that SHADWELL would live and through almost miraculous effort. had her steaming under ner 3vZ:eP:gV?gtai?gIg25gna5ter1Sunrise the following morning. There barked troops were iron y three members of her crew and em- jured. After a brief sto at Le te for . P Y temporary repairs she was able to return to the States for required permanent repairs. One year after her commissioning, SHADWELL arrived at Bremerton, Washington, for major repair work. She had little time at sea, but much praise from Fleet Admiral NIMITZ to her credit. Bremerton Navy Yard spent two months putting SHADWELL back in topnotch condition. In July 1945, she sailed to join Admiral HALSEY's Third Fleet. In August 1945, SHADWELL was among the first units to enter Tokyo Bay, and she remained in the area performing routine occupation duties until May 1946, On 10 July 1947, SHADWELL was placed out of commission in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Orange, Texas. Just prior to the national emergency declared by President Truman in 1950, SHADWELL was again placed in commission at Orange, Texas on 20 September. During the remaining months of 1950, SHADWELL and her crew underwent intensive shake- down training, After this, the ship that refused to sink was ordered into the Charleston Navy Yard for a three month altera- tion period. Upon completion, SHADWELL joined the Atlantic Fleet as an active unit of the Amphibious Force. The year 1951 saw SHADWELL at Thule, Greenland, par- ticipating in the highly secret Arctic expedition known to the press as Bluejay , in Newfoundland on Operation Convex g throughout the Caribbean area on HLANTFLEX-52 , and finally back to Norfolk, Virginia for leave and liberty. The year of 1952 was a busy one. This included several Atlantic Coast Operations with the Marines and a trip to Balti- more for major alterations. Leaving Baltimore sporting a new mezzanine deck, super deck, flag quarters and helicopter landing deck, the experi- enced t'Arctic Explorer braced herself for two more extended operations north of the Arctic Circle. This was followed by operations in the Caribbean in early 1953 and back to Labrador in May for Operation t'Pinetree . SHADWELL welcomed the change in 1955 when two cruises took her to Havana and Bermuda, with the remainder of the year spent in various amphibious exercises. In 1956 SHAD- WELL was assigned a resupply operation in the Caribbean, followed by her first six month tour of duty with the SIXTH Fleet in the Mediterranean. Late 1957 and 1958 saw the ship participate in several operations in the Caribbean and U.S. Coastal Waters. SHADWELL, in 1959, became the first LSD helicopter carrier when she loaded eight HUS-type helicopters and Marine aviators for a trial operation with the Amphibious Forces in the Mediterranean. The success proven by SHADWELL in this mode of operation has made the Marine helicopter unit an important part of the Amphibious Task Force. Retuming from the Mediterranean, SHADWELI. made two trips to the Caribbean, adding Kingston and Cuidad Trujillo to the list of ports of call. On the latter of these cruises Navy helicopters operated from the fleet's smallest carrier. The retum to Norfolk by SHADWELL was delayed by the destructive Hurricane Donna. Playing cat and mouse and hiding in the lee of the Antilles, the ship finally made a dash for Norfolk and made port two days before the storm crashed into the area. In 1960, SHADWELL once again set course for the Mediter- ranean with helicopters aboard. During this tour many rec- ords were set for other helo carriers to match, such as. 4,000 landings on board. the logging of 660 flight hours in one month, and the initiation of 26 Marine Pilots in SHAlJWElLL's Centurion Club. The sole requirement for the latter is 100 landings on SHADWELl.'s Flight Deck. Retuming to CONUS in May 1961, SHADWI-ILL received a major overhaul under the Fleet Rehabilitation and Moderniza- tion Program which occupied the remainder of the year. SHADWELL commenced her fourth Mediterranean deploy- ment in May 1962, again embarking a Marine Helicopter de- tachment. Proficiency in flight operations during Amphibious Exercises contributed to saving the life of a Greek National who was airlifted from the remote island of ELANFONISOS to an Athens hospital for emergency surgery. Having just completed the deployment in October, SHADWELI. was never-the-less ready to answer the nations call to arms for the Cuban Crises of 1962, and put to sea with members of the Amphibious Forces for the entire operation. The first quarter of 1962 was one of relative inactivity as SHADWELL completed routine training assignments and made preparations for her forthcoming shipyard overhaul. The ship entered the New York City area the first of April to commence the two month overhaul. On completion of SHADWh11.l.'s overhaul. refresher training at Guantanamo Bay. Cuba and Amphibious Refresher Training at Little Creek, Virginia prepared the crew for an- other Mediterranean deployment with an embarked helicopter detachment. On 20 September 1963. SHADWELL departed the United States on her fifth Mediterranean deployment. During Mediterranean operations SHADWEL1. participated in many amphibious landings. several of them jointly with NATO allies. Upon her return on 26 February 1964. SHADWELL participated in Operation Quick Kick V. a major amphibious landing off the coast of South Carolina. SHADWELL then deployed south to the Virgin Islands in order to pick up a detachment of UDT person- nel and return them to Norfolk. In the latter part of July. SHADWELL spent a week in New York City so the crew could attend the world's fair. SHADWELL again deployed the Mediterranean in October taking part in operation Steel Pike enroute off the coast of Spain. SHADWELL returned to CONUS in March 1965 to begin an upkeep period. During the Summer and Fall of 1965 SHADWELL conducted several lifts of a non-amphibious nature again visiting New York and t.he Bahamas. In March 1966 SHADWELL sailed for her seventh Mediter- ranean deployment and returned. after a highly successful cruise, in August 1966, to begin her regular overhaul. After completion of her 1966 overhaul SHADWELL entered an intensive training phase prior to deploying to the Mediter- ranean. This included two weeks at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. followed by two weeks with the Amphibious Operational Training Unit in Little Creek. SHADWELL departed for the Mediterranean in March 1967 for a five month deployment which saw the ship standing ready to respond with aid or assistance in the Greek Coup and the Arab-Israeli War. During SHADWELL's eighth Med deployment. the ship acted as a base for the Squadrons only helicopter. performing numerous medical evacuations. SHADWELL partici- pated in many amphibious exercises including the joint NATO landing. 1-'air Game Y. at Lovo Santo, Corsica and completed a special advance base unit lift to Crete. The year 1967 has been SHADWELL's greatest year of achievement. with the following awards earned by its outstanding crew: The Battle Efficiency O Award. Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Prize Fund, the Second Amphibious Assault Award. the Communications Proficiency Award iGreen CW and Gunnery tWhite t'E J Awards for all mounts and directors. SHADWELL was also a finalist in com- petition for the NEY Award and recommended for the Arleigh Burke Award.

During that period, along with the physical overhaul of the ship's structure came an overhaul in the personnel who man the ship and who made up SHADWELL. Many new personnel were reporting aboard, some from boot camp, some from Navy schools, and some from other ships. . .Most of them unfamiliar with Amphibious operations. And so began the involved process of familarization and training. Processes designed to wield the many desperate elements into a well organ- ized yet flexible organization.

The week's transit was used for daily exercises to accustom the new personnel aboard to their role in the big picture. SHADWELL be- gan her actual refresher training on 23 January and left on 17 Februaryg but during that time, due to an engineering difficulty, SHADWELL spent only five com- plete days of actual training afforded to most ships. And yet despite the curtailed training time SHADWELL was able to take the annual Operational Readiness Inspection and pass with a mark of Good. SHADWELL sailed home from GITMO having impressed most of the fleet observers with her flexibility, preparedness and enthusiasm.

The enthusiastic recep- tion was not expected but was an ample reward for our favor to the base of carrying a new Ford Mustang from Norfolk for the annual GITMO Mardi Gras. Other events throughout the year included a visit from the retired Rear Admiral and author, Daniel V.

During this period the ship's personnel are trained in every phase of Amphibious operations. Again observers had nothing but good comments and high prase for the SHADWELL team. The month and a half intensive training period was necessary for the cobwebs accumulated during the yard period had to be shaken out it wasn't long before SHADWELL was operating like the efficient unit she is now.

Knox uttered a few choice words when he came to a hard one-point landing right in the middle of the whole mess. Mr. Brown squeezed the hand rail a little tighter and his face turned a deeper shade of green. A person didn't notice the green very much after looking at the deck. Knox was doing a pretty good job of stirring the twelve gallons of paint on the deck but the seat of his pants was wearing out pretty fast. Red, black, yellow, and turquoise are nice colors, but when they're mixed with a five gallon can of deck grey they hardly make anything other than modem art.

Tours were almost always available to historically interesting points in the surrounding area. Our first port, after being at sea for two months, was Cannes, France in the midst of the annual film ' ' ' h ffered festival. Weflater visited Naples, Italy, whic o to the ancient city of Pompeii and Mount tours Vesuvius, as well as three other Italian ports: Taranto, Livorno and Palermo. During the Israeli - Arab conflict we were d to Souda called away from the rest of the squa ron Bay, Crete, where we enjoyed four days of tours to ' ' ' ht the 1sland's most picturesque sig s. Valencia Spain was our last liberty port before the trip home. Being the only Spanish city we were to visit it was a welcome and rewarding conclusion to a long journey.
