ARTICLE WRITTEN BY LT ANDRAEAS AND BM2 POWELL. CONTENTS 3 I HA TA Its History and Nfission Named for Mount Shasta, a snow- capped dormant volcano in North- ern California, USS SHASTA is a Kilauea class ammunition ship, launched April 3, at Pascagoula, Mississippi and commissioned February 26, 1972 at Charleston, South Carolina. The mission of USS SHASTA is to provide ammunition, related ordi- nance equipment, plus fuel and stores to the fleet underway. Under- way Replenishment is a method of transferring cargo between ships by a ram-tensioned wire .system known as STREAM lStandard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Methodi. ln addition, SHASTA is equipped with a helicopter flight deck, mak- ing Vertical Replenishment possi- ble. Vertical Replenishment is a method of air-lifting cargo between ships by helicopter. Further advan- tages of SHASTA include a bulbous bow for seakeeping and Automatis Propulsion Systems IAPSQ, allowing direct control of the engine from the bridge. As a result, SHASTA can accomplish her mission in excess of twenty knots, enabling her to keep pace with the modern, high-speed task forces of today's modern Navy. SHASTA was designed with econo- my and maximum efficiency in mind. With tanks large enough to hold nearly 700,000 gallons of fuel, and greatly increased cargo space, SHASTA can stay on station for far greater periods of time without the need for refueling or refilling her cargo holds. Further, SHASTA is equipped to refuel other ships and has extra refrigeration space to Store food supplies. Ultimately, SHASTA ggefs the' goal of our modern Navy y combining economical service with the most advanced techniques and equipment available. 4 HISTGRY -. I -Q... .Q PQ-..-,Jl A 'Sf' .

I up A y Saddam's peace offer looks unreal The conditions that Iraq has attached to its withdrawal from Kuwait are not unreasonable when one realizes that Iraq is, after all, bargaining from a position of strength. Consider: Since the start of the war, Iraqi buildings, bridges and elite Republican Guard emplacements have unceasingf ly destroyed countless numbers of allied bombs. Iraq rules the air over Israel and Saudi Arabia, as is evif denced by the great number of U. S. Patriot missiles destroyed by the Iraqi Scud missiles. In a brilliant move that will be applauded for generations in the annals of military history, the oil sliclcfsl released by Iraq have essentially eliminated any threat of Iraqi forces posed by Persian Gulf seabirds. This will be so for the remainder of the war despite efforts by UU. S. backed envif ronmental imperialistsn to clean them up. The Iraqis won a public relations coup when they pub- licly showed allied prisoners what human rights are all about. 11Not to mention human lefts, uppercuts and rabbit punches., Finally, Saddam I-Iussein is younger and stockier than George Bush. If this thing boils down to an armfwrestling match between the two leaders, you've got to put your money on the feisty Baath secularist. Thus, Iraq holds all the bargaining chips. The U. S. should accept the Iraqi conditions before we're all on the ground, laughing. DAVID G.

Nobody in Washington could think or talk of any- thing except the war, but the states pursued their own parochial obsessions. Tennessee lawmakers banned the release of more than 24 nonbiodegradable balloons by any one person, in order to keep bits of rubber from choking the fish.

Vast military cities sprung up in the desert, complete with hospitals, air- conditioned tents and computers. As George Bush pulled to- gether the allied coalition, diplomats shuttled back and forth to Baghdad to implore Saddam Hussein to back down. He stubbornly refused. One day after the U.N. deadline of Jan. 15, 1991, the allies launched their offensive. ---mn SHASTA'S voyage 5 began December 8 I with much concern and uncertainty as to the Gulf situation.

Iraq set several oilfields ablaze in Kuwait and began pumping millions of gallons of crude oil into the gulf, creating the world's biggest spill, threatening coastal wildlife and desalination plants. Scud attacks on Israel and Saudi Arabia continued. Iraq paraded allied prisoners on international television. WAR WEEK BY WEEK 15 1 S 51 I ALL HANDS BRIEF ON SHASTA'S MISSION After 47,000 allied air sorties, U.S. analysts puzzled over the cam- paign's results. CIA pessimists estimated the Republican Guard had been degraded by 5 percent. Pen- tagon analysts believed the Guard's effectiveness was down 25 percent. Either number was well below the 50 percent target. The battleship i WISCONSIN opened X c I Ere with its I6 meh 'N 'N- guns for the first time since the Korean War.

Fortunately, our det was there to neutralize this problem with a smile. The EOD organization is known as an elite group ofhighly trained professionals. Their job includes the detection, identification, and some- times disposal of explosives on land and in water. They have formal training as scuba divers, demolition experts, and parachutists. Assigned to SHASTA, this deployment is ECU mobile unit 9 det 21. Under the direction of CWCZ EARL DENNIS, the unit UIC, and EMICDVXPD RICK SEKORA, AOICDVXPD BILL STEWART, and AOZCDVXPD CORKY McCORMICK experienced a lifetime's worth of challenge and excitement in one deployment. Because our constant tasking, we were able to witness every facet of the war, from the first shots fired, the support of the most forward deployed ships, to the conclusion of the land war, says EMI Sekora. He was not kidding. Our gulfwide detachments of ECD were used extensively, not only mines handling mines and captured ordnance, but clearing booby traps left behind on oil platforms and pier areas. They cooperated hand in hand with the Seals and Marines on numerous missions. Cut SHASTA det got eight mines, including one which confirmed the fact that Iraq was mining northern waters that was previously been considered safe. They participated in the search for and rescue two downed pilots. They surveyed suspected mine areas which enabled the Wisconsin and Missouri to get into position for shore bombardment. They escorted the amphibious task force to the beaches of Kuwait. When asked what they desired to be assigned as their next task though, their decision was unanimous, To stay here and return home with the SHASTAY' EOD 57 BLAZE hasta h Hghts Hre at sea Sailors onboard USS SI-IASTA CAE-331 were part of a multina-F tional naval effort to contain a civilian merchant ship fire while opq. ating in the Arabian Gulf. On 29 March 1991, USS SHASTA joined Royal Naval Ship HMS BRILLIANT, Spanish Naval Ship SNS VICTORIA, and USS FRANCIS HAMMOND and USS NIAGRA FALLS ina fourteen hour effort to contain and extinguish fire onboard the MV MERCS I-IORANA, a merchant cargo ship registered out of CSoknnbo,SriLanka. USS SHASTA began sending fire fighting equipment to the scene by helicopter at 2145 flocal timel while still twenty milesa and arrived on station by 2230. Rescue and assistance teams were immediately sent over by utility boats along with the latest in naval fire fighting and damage control equipment. USS SI-IASTA contributed over 312,000 of consumable fire fighting and damage control equipment. Equipment included hoses portable pumps, food CBA breathing cannisters, battle lantems, even the newest Naval Fire Fighting Thermal Imager QNIFTD, u identify heat sources or bodies in smokeffilled environements. By time the fire was extinguished and overhauled, over 70 SHASTA sailors had been directl involved on the decks of the MERCS Y HORANA. ma 'f -f FRG THE TRIBUNE WA Emi- MH 413 -in -AL- attacks U................--n 1 Www Uhr 'Oulu Ilnnrw SH suul s eye' ns:-any' FU-5--3 J 'm:.

Thank h for sending it on. you 50 muc WT I e mfhhglgggg Lord was creating a model wives and was into his sixth Kymgargvertime when an anQ9' appeared. She said: Lord, you seem robe having a lot of trouble with this one, What's wrong with the standard ,,,, Wife' Lord replied: Have you Seen me Specs on this order? She has to be Completely independent, possess the qualities of both father and mother, be aperlect hostess to four or 40 with an tours notice, run on black coffee, han- dle every emergency imaginable with- guta manual, be able to carry on eheerfully, even if she is pregnant and MSSN Floss Every one may not openly admit it but there is a sense of pride that come with the completion of this deployment that is ' undeniable. I can compare this achievement to any project that was difficult to do but with much determination and the willingness to get the job done we can be proud because we did itl And we did good! ldedicate this book to my mom 8. dad my brother, sister, nieces and to the females of Shasta who for one reason or another did not Complete this deployment with us you missed out girls. Special Dedication to Karen Rose A friend indeed I love you all Michelle has the flu, and she must be willing to move to a new location 10 times in 17 years. And, oh yes, she must have six pairs of hands. The angel shook her head. Six pairs of hands? No way. The Lord continued: Don't worry, we will make other military wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husband's achieve- ments, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say, I understand, when she doesn't, and say, I love you, regardless. Lord, said the angel, touching his arm gently, Go to bed and get some rest. You can finish this tomorrow. I can't stop now said the Lord. I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals her- self when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from a pier, a runway or a depot, and under- stand why it's important that he leave? The angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed, lt looks fine, but it's too soft. She might look soft, replied the Lord, but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure. Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lord's creation. There's a leak, she announced. Something is wrong with the construction. I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put too much into this model. The Lord appeared offended at the angel's lack of confidence. What you see is not a leak, he said. It's a tear. A tear? What is it there for? asked the angel. The Lord replied, lt's for joy, sad- ness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride and a dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear. You are a genius! exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked puzzled and replied, I didn't put it there. -Author Unknown n xo 4 im , 5 gift' xii it Cruxse Book Sales Offlce CGMPANY Vac Nmgro LaMesa CA 91941 Mmceume,Massoum,u,s.A. 10755 Anaheim Drive E I l li A , .,.-. .....,..
