Maintaining and cleaning spacers is a must both at sea and in port. Spaces are protected from corrosive salt and rid of rust by being primed and painted in a continuing battle against time. We start at one end of the ship and work towards th ' . ' e other. By the time the fantail is reached. the bow has started to weather. On the qnarterdeck we employ seamanship and the marlin spike as sailors have done through history. Brightwork , and Mac Numara Lace lend to the , ceremonial role of the ship's quartcrdeck.

Pompeii, a coastal town situated in a good commer- cial and defensive position on the hill at the mouth of the river Sarno, could not escape from being con- quered by colonizers, and in order to defend itself from the Etruscans, it made an alliance with Creeks ofNaples and Cumae. ln August 79 A.D., there came the final disaster, when Vi-suvius suddenly shed its ususal aspect as a peaceful mountain covered with fertile vineyards and thick woods. A huge cloud of ash, lapilli, and other eruptive iiiatt-ri.il hurst out of the volcano and submerged Pom- pt-ii, .intl many of its citizens died either through suf- lmntiuri, ur untlt-r tht' cullapst'-cl roofs, or under ash. llwu ht-gan lor tht- titv the long-lasting period of silt-uc 4-, which was to he intt-rruptctl only in 7748, when t'xt.tv.ititin wurlt was first startt-il, i pawn., g L: fy cf, ..,.u .- 4-A . ., ' , .

This department is composed of Hull Maintenance Technicians, Electrician Mates, Enginemen, Boiler Technicians, Machinist Mates, and Interim- Communication Technicians. These men perform separate, yet interrelated tasks vital to the ship's overall minion. The men of A-Division spend endless hours maintaining and repairing the ship's air conditioning and refrigeration facilities. Their duties range from a simple filter change on an air conditioner to performing ma- jqr overhauls on refrigeration systems. Through the efforts of these men, each of us was able to enjoy time off in 3 mol, comfortable compartment. The men of M and B Divisions work within an environment only they can describe. These are the men who gpend each day isolated from the rest of the crew. Located deep inside the ship's hull, the Boiler Technicians grid Machinist Mates perform the daily functions of keeping SIERRA's two engines in top running condition. Working in an area surrounded by a maze of fuel, water, steam and exhaust lines, the BT's ami MM's carefully monitor the production of steam, electrical power, and fresh water used throughout the ship. Temperatures range from 90 to 115 degrees. The services rendered by the men of Nl and B Divisions make everyday living a little easier for us all. On hoard a ship, the silent killer is fire. The men of R-Division, composed of llull Maintenance Technicians, highly trained in fire fighting techniques, serve as the ships fire control team. By conducting daily inspections ol all fire combatant systems and equipment, R-Division is ready at anytime to coordinate and perform all functions necessary in containing and extinguishing a fire. Shipboard training is also conducted by these men to familiarize each crew member in the proper identification, reporting, and combatant procedure for a fire. R-Division is also responsible for the maintenance of all plumbing fixtures, ranging from a simple installed gasket to a maior re-piping task of a water line or fire main system. Through the effort of R-Division personnel, SIERRA is kept free from all invitations of the silent killer. E-Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the ship's electrical and interior communica- tlons systems. E-Division is composed of Electrician Mates and Interior Communication Technicians who act ll the ship's electric and phone companies. The Electricians install and repair the endless miles of electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, and power control panels. The Interior Communication Technicians perform main- tenance on over 200 telephones and the master switch board.

There were also plenty of things to do to occupy one's time. One in- teresting feature for many, was a visit to a casino of Monte Carlo, In many areas, English was spoken quite well, the philosophy being why should a visitor come to France to enjoy himself and have to spend much of his time trying to learn French?

RO DIVISION The Repair Office is responsible for all administrative support as mav be required bv the depart- ment. The Repair Office Division is made up of various work centersralli interrelated to accomplish a prime mission objective. The Planning and Estimating Board is made up of representatives from all divisions. An integral part of the repair effort, the P8112 Board reviews, investigates and plans all work request accepted for ac- complishment by SIERRA. The Technical Library is manned to research mechanical, electrical and hull blueprints which are contained on microfilm. The Library keeps a master file locator of all technical instruction books re- quired by the Repair Department Shops. The Outside Tool Issue Room is equipped to issue pneumatic, electric and miscellaneous portable tools not normally carried aboard tended units. These men also perform the minor upkeep or repair work required for safe operation of the equipment. The Diving Locker is equipped to conduct underwater hull inspections, scrub sonar domes, install hull zlncs and anodes, and the list goes on and on. Almost any work below the waters surface can be ac- complished by the divers. They also perform cleaning evolutions to a ships' rudder, propeller, or hull openings. ln connection with underwater repairs, the divers are capable of providing underwater television video tapes. The Ship's Superintendent's primary responsibility is to monitor the progress ol all jobs being ac- complished by SIERRA. They act as the liaison agent for the shops of SIICRRA and the personnel ofthe customer ship. The ARRS Office is responsible for the receipt, processing and routing ol all maintenance data documentation submitted to SIERRA by our tended units. .-XRRS controls the flow of documents within the Repair Department, and provides each shop with computerized listings ol each job and the statins of each. The men of RO Division are essentially the first point of contact for the arriving unit. The smooth operation and production of work is attributed to the men of Repair Office Division. -1l 199 fr ,Q---4 ' w -.. , C' '2- ...M-T. .4!,4s,,, , fx , ix N.

These men are highly skilled in all areas of welding, metal fabrication, and carpentry. During the deployment, the men of the Weld Shop have traveled to places such as Greece, Spain, North Africa, and France just to meet the need for their skills by a deployed unit. 'l'he riggers have expended over 3 miles of wire rope in support of over 20 ships. They performed the first suc- cessful field change of a power turbine which belonged to a ship of the Spruance class. Over 26 tons of equip- ment ranging from a range to engines have been moved. The men of R-1 Division keep SIERRA and other ships in top performing condition. Work is just a way of life mak- ing them live up to their motto, Give us more work, or give us liberty! 5 CWO2 W.G.

Hooks Sailor of the Year Since reporting onboard SIERRA, Petty Officer Hooks has done an outstanding job both militarily and professionally. He joined forces with the Human Goals Office and immediately impressed his leaders with his enthusiasm toward SIERRA's Military Rights and Responsibility Workshops. He then spent long and tiring hours after regular work days to develop and put into action SIERRA's Leadership and Management Training Program for Petty Officer's Third Class. Petty Officer Hooks has personally instructed over 280 petty officers since implementation of this program some eight months ago. Petty Officer Hooks has associated himself with this Command by serving as the mainstay of SIERRA's Welcome Aboard Program by being the leading instructor of I Division. His constant drive to better himself and his Command has led the way to a very successful indoctrination program for other commands to follow. Petty Officer Hooks has an air of success about him that seems to permeant others associated with him. His potential to the U.S. Navy is unlimited and his assignment as a Human Resources Management Specialist has spearheaded a fire that needs room to grow. His selection as SIERRA's Sailor of the Quarter in December 1978 led to his selec- tion as SIERRA's Sailor of the Year in january 1979 Petty Officer Hooks' dedication len nava service has earned hlm respect f rom all his shipmates and for these reasons we onboard SIERRA proudly recognize him as our Sailor of the Year for 1979 to duty, devotion to his shipmates and obed' t ll ' ' SAILOR OF THE QUARTER During the period of 1 january 1979-31 March 1979, llT3 lef- fery L.
