SENIIVIES, USN Commander Destroyer Dioision 302 Commander Collingwood was graduated in 1941 from the University of Washington in Seattle where he won his commission as a member of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. During World War 11 Commander Colling- wood participated in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Southern France and the D day assault on the Normandy beaches. He has served five years in destroyers and three as commanding officer of destroyer escorts and of the attack transport llfantuolc CAPD-1252. Commander Collingwood whose home is now Snoqualmie, Washington, reported to the Smalley from the staff of Commander VVestern Sea Frontier, San Francisco, where he was attached to the planning Department. He relieved Commander N. C. Bliven, USN, on 27 March 1953. The Commander wears the Bronze Star Medal with KVS, Navy Unit Citation Commen- dation, American Defense Ribbon, American Campaign Ribbon, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Ribbon, World War II Victory Medal, National Defense Medal, Korean Campaign Ribbon and the United Nations Ribbon. A Naval Academy graduate of the class of 1934, Captain Benedict 1. Semmes, USN, saw his first duty aboard the Battleship M issis.sippi. This was followed by a year of staH duty in the U.S .S . California. He subsequently served in the capacity of Gunnery Officer on the old four piperv destroyers Claxton and Badger and in 1940 helped put the U.S.S. llfasp CV-7 in commis- sion. He remained aboard until she was sunk in the Battle of the Coral Sea two years later. In 1944 Captain Semmes returned to de- stroyers as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Picking DD685. While in that capacity he won the Navy Cross at Okinawa. Captain Semmes took part in the Guadal- canal, Gilberts, Marshalls and Palaus offensive actions against the japanese, as well as the Leyte, Linguyan, Corregidor, Mariveles, Biak and Okinawa Campaigns. After the war Captain Semmes served in several important shore billets with a 20 month interlude as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Ault DD698. Among his assignments ashore was that of Liason Odicer to Field Marshal Montgomery's Headquarters for Commander U. S. Naval Forces in Germany. In July 1958 Captain Semmes received orders to relieve as Commander Destroyer Division 302. COBIBIANDEH JOHN F. CoLLINGwooD, USN Comrnantling Offcer 4 Lieutenant Albert XV. Vittek enlisted in the Regular Navy in 1938. By 1943 he had climbed the ladder from Apprentice Seaman to Chief Quartermaster and in the same year- exchanged the Chiefls crow for the gold bars of an Ensign. Mr. Vittek, during Wforld NVar II, served in Africa, Europe and the PaciHc. His service included several commands among which were the U.S.S. ATR-57, U.S.S. Accolceek ATA-181 and the U.S.S. Alleglzany ATO-19. After ten years of continuous sea duty Lieutenant Vittek came ashore to attend Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, under the Navyis alive termv program. From there he went to General Line School. In 1950 Mr. Vittek reported aboard the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Newpoif News CA-148 and filled the billet of First Lieutenant. On 27 March 1953 Lieutenant V ittek relieved Commander R. Zenneck as Executive Officer of the Smalley. Mr. Vittek makes his home in Baltimore, Maryland. He wears the Cood Conduct Medal, American Defense Service Medal, American Area Campaign Medal, European-African- Middle Eastern Area Campaign Medal with two stars, Asiatic-Pacific Area Campaign Medal, NVorld YV ar II Victory Medal, Navy Unit Commendation Award, German Occupa- tion Ribbon, U.N.

At 1215 Queen CC-reenwich Civil Time plus four? on 18 May 1958 the Smalley, in company with the other ships of Destroyer Division 302 -Daly, Cotten and Bronson, passed the Bren- ton Reef Lightship at the mouth of Narragan- sett Bay and set course 188 degrees true for Panama. A dense fog prevented the division from getting underway at 0900 as previously expected. However, as we passed the lightship the May sun had started to melt the morning haze and we c.aught a glimpse of the Newport bluffs as they faded in the distance. Before those bluffs would be seen again by Smalley men in bleak January the ship would have steamed over 60,000 miles through more than fifteen seas and oceans and visited at least twenty foreign ports. That thought made the day one of loneliness, wonder and expectation. It was a day of loneliness because of the loved ones and the happy homes we were leav- ing behind us for so many uncertain months. Sfnrewell Ncw,v1frf.f It was a day of wonder over a future which seemed to be measured in endless times and distances interwoven with a myriad of new scenes. It was a day of expectation about our role in the Korean War which at any time could explode into a global conflict. . s-yur' 1 31 ' .. H il ' wi ,Q ...vjmgf ggi? Ei: 1'9' Q il.. V 'j....f: - . A.

Our first week of underway training had been climaxed by a gun- nery shoot off Citmo Bay, Cuba, and we were anxious to enjoy a leisurely passing of the famous Canal and some of the fabled liberty in our first Ports-of-Call: Balboa and Panama City. Culebra cut Unlike the numerous merchant ships that were anchored in the Bay waiting their turn to transit the Locks, we had priority and started through the three Catun Locks as soon as our pilot came aboard. Two destroyers Kuna! Zane could be accommodated in one lock at the same time, and the three Locks at Catun lifted the Smalley and Daly 96 feet in a few minutes. W7ater rushed into the locks in great volume, and except for large pumps which are used during the dry season they are gravity fed. Once up to the level of Catun Lake it is a thirty mile steam to the next locks. Because Catun is fresh water we used it to flush out our fire and drainage mains and to wash the ship from mast down. So, during our two hours on the Lake the uniform for all hands was bathing suitsg anyone in clothing at that time was fair game. W7ith the hot sun baking the steel decks to over 100 degrees and with all the fire hoses available spraying cool fresh water the crew went wild. ln their playful melee of water Hghts we managed to get some of the ship washed down and certainly all of the hoses well .flushed of salt deposits. 8 9 At the bend in the Canal before we reached the Pedro Miguel Lock we passed through the famous nine mile Caillard or Culebra cut. The rock cliffs rise to 150 feet straight up from the sides of the cut which is 300 feet wide in that section. The Canal winds like a serpent through lush, green tropical jungles for 49 miles. Here and there crocodiles and lizards can be seen basking in the sun. VVhen Culebra cut was dug, or better almost scraped out of the jungle by hand, about 300 men died in li Q . . . . .

To others, a chance to see old familiar faces. Some looked forward to seeing loved ones once again, but to most the VVest Coast was new and many were eager to get ashore to find out if the city of San Diego was all it was Kcracked up to bef, The Smalley, after moving through one of the largest natural harbors in the United States past Point Loma and North Island, moored alongside the destroyer tender Prairie. Those of the crew who were fortunate enough to rate liberty were ready to go and took the nearest means to do so. Civic center 11 San Diego as seen from Coronado To those sailors who like the outdoors Diego,' granted excellent possibilities. Balboa Park offered, besides one of the most complete zoos in the world, an excellent beach for swim- ming, horses for the hardier lot, rides of all kinds, games of chance and Hot Rod races in the stadium. Smalley sailors also visited the El Cortez, where a fine view of San Diego, North Island air station and the entire harbor was available. Excellent food to suit every palate was avail- able in Diego.v Steak hounds went to the c'Turf Club. Those who like salads went to Paddocks. New England sailors found choice sea foods at the Harbor House. The night life last, but far from being least-dance bands, floor shows and Mexican music was plentiful all over the city. Another place that saw a lot of sailor traffic was the Greyhound bus terminal, which made places like Los Angeles and Tiajuana practi- cally around the corner. The city of San Diego has the largest operat- ing base for destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines on the West Coast and therefore the sailors were made more than welcome. All in all, the crew enjoyed the stay and thought it all too brief. The Smalley departed San Diego harbor on Friday morning Iune 5th bound for Midway Island and points VVest. Three thousand miles to the West of San Diego lay the Midway Islands. These two little spots of coral sand with a total area of less than two square miles were the Svnalleyfs' objectives. Calm seas and sunny skies provided an excellent setting for the trip across the greatest expanse of water in the world. WVith a speed of advance of fifteen knots, the journey stretched out into nine days. lt was nine days well spent though, for the ships of Destroyer Division 302 were escorting the ammunition ship U.S.S. Mt. Katmczi. During the long trek several cooperative whales provided uservicesi' for the Division. The words Sonar Contactv blared out from the ping jockey shack on numerous occasions and without regard for the hour of the day or night the entire ship went to General Quarters. To an observer high above the formation, it would have been a beautiful sight to watch one of the screening ships pull out of the forma- tion, settle down on her haunches with a puff of smoke from her stacks and go charging off after a suspicious contact. There is nothing And Iflfl in Midway more awe-inspiring than a destroyer knifing through clear blue water leaving behind her a brilliant white wake. It was with a feeling of relief, however, that we learned our contact was just another curious whale, for we were under orders to attack with live ammunition. Seamanship, engineering and damage control drills along with tactical maneuvers augmented our training. Nevertheless, '4All work and no playn was not the featured motto of the Smalley. Every evening the fantail was crowded to capacity as Chaplain Little ran his gymnastic enthusiasts through their paces with bar bells and weights. Deck horse shoes, reading and just plain bull sessionsn competed equally for the waning rays of light as the sun dipped into the multi- colored Pacific horizon. VVhen the sky had turned to a dark blue and the stars began to twinkle, the scheduled activities of the day were drawn to a close with movie callf, Early on the morning of 14 june, two thin white streaks were sighted along the horizong Eastern and Sand Islands of the Midway 12 Z F Q71 'T 5 ? f1S'?'2f ?'?

On all sides they are encircled by a reef. The sheltered waters inside the reef are a clear turquoise color and as smooth as polished steel. The Bronson and the Daly proceeded through the narrow channel in the reef and moored to a pier on Sand Island to fuel. The Cotten and Smalley continued to screen the Mt. Katmai and awaited their turn outside the harbor. At 1000 we steamed in and while the engineers refueled, the remainder of the crew was given two hours liberty to udiscoverv the Isle of the Cooney Birdf, , ..

By 1300 we were underway again and on the last leg of our journey to japan. The next day we crossed the International Date Line and suddenly jumped from 14 to 16 june. For the Smalley there was no 15 june 1953. Our training continued and we became more and more proficient in our duties. On 22 june, sixteen days after leaving the United States, we arrived in Yokosuka, japan. We had traveled nearly 11,000 miles since leaving New- port and looked forward to seeing the sights of what, to many of us, was a new world. Pier at Midway Alongside thc fuel pier 14 4 Qi 1, . ki?

XIYA ' 1-if BMA, Y- A371 japan Yokosuka and Tokyo The arrival of the Smalley at Yokosuka, or Yokuskav in the Navy idiom, marked a big event in our cruise because it was the first port in the Far East We visited after a long and tedious voyage across the Pacific. Yokosuka, sometimes called the 'gsecret cityv because it is surrounded by immense hills and mountains, played an important part during World War II as the Annapolis of the Iapanese Navy. Much of the base is underground even today. When the Korean War began some of its facilities were reactivated. The hospital and shipyard are provided With a natural protec- tion against air raids by the hills surrounding the city. The same hills are honeycombed with tunnels, the exact number and location of which still remain unknown. Seemingly, with an eye to the future, the Iapanese are reluctant 15 to disclose any information concerning this maze of grottoes. Getting used to the Oriental Way came almost as a natural adjustment for the crew of XVhat, no ricksliaws? the Smalley, though for most of us this was our first time in the liar hast. Even with the broad acceptance of XfVcst1-rn ideas and customs which were seen in Amer- ican style cabarets, stores and clothes, we noticed the difference between Japanese living standards and our own. We were pleased with the quiet leisure and humble politeness of the Japanese people. The houses of paper and wood with straw matting or utatamiv on the floors, the rickshaws gone- modern with motor bicycles, the mysterious and often weird music, all called for attention. In fact, with all of its occidental trappings this country was found to be so entirely different from our own that on the first liberty we were almost at a loss for where to look or what to watch. Souvenir hunters found aYokuska,' a verita- ble gallery for beautiful Japanese paintings, Woodcuts and lacquers. These interpretive art objects are descendants of ancient oriental crafts which have always played an important part in the aesthetic lives of the Japanese people. Every evening we saw the streets crowded with people carrying small wash basins and towels toward the public baths. Some community baths have separate facilities for men and women to conduct their ritualistic ablutions, but in many places both share the same large pool. Those who could tear their eyes away from the brilliant banners and signs that hung on the thousands of small shops filled with curios and oriental gifts found a trip to the outskirts in a rickshaw was one to be remembered. VVe felt a little foolish riding behind such a hard- The Great Buddha at Kaniakura Yokosuka Naval Base pedaling little man, but we realized he was happily, if strenuously, earning a modest liv- ing. In the outskirts we found compact farms with rice and vegetables planted in fields which had been tiered to many levels. Because of the large per capita population we were told it was necessary for the hard-working farmers to cultivate every available piece of land, and we saw throughout the ancient countryside that is just what they had done. One hundred twenty yen and forty-five min- utes north of Yokosuka lies Tokyo. The trip to the big city on an electric train amounted to a series of countryside glimpses. The ride resolved into snapshot-like fiashes of terraced rice fields, thatched-roof huts and little brown figures in rolled up trousers who were planting rice. W7e rattled past Yokohama and the Stocking up for 77 l 'fagqggji Tokyo Railroad Station Buddhist temples of Kamakura before reaching Tokyo. For most of us, this was the first large city of the Orient that we had seen. The Tokyo abayousv which once served the city as canals, the modern streets and tall buildings, the rush of trucks and cars on the same thoroughfares as rickshaws and hand carts, kimonos and European Dress, the modern department stores and the portable stalls of small merchants made Tokyo a city of contrasts-truly a place where VVest had met East. Here again the occidental influence was rapidly sweeping into the oriental traditions. Of the twenty-two major parks, most of us visited at least one. The Shinto Shrines were run down but provided enough faded color to entice the shutter bugsv to unlimber their cameras. Uleno Park, situated in the north central part of the city, was perhaps the most popular of the parks. lt was certainly the most popular as far as the post card manufacturers were concerned. We found a good system of public buses and elevated trains but they were not much use to Smalley sailors who were incapable of deciphering the Japanese characters on the various signs. Many of us went jolting down the Ginza in one of those toy-like taxi cabs, dodging trucks, buses and three-wheeled rickshaws only to learn that Tokyo's traffic control is still geared to the rickshaw and oxcart. The Imperial Palace with its weathered gray walls rising out of a brackish moat attracted 17 all hands, though none of us were able to gain entrance to the palace grounds. Another place of interest was the Akasaka Detached Palace, also known as the Old lmperial Palace, and now a library. This sprawling piece of transplated Versailles style architecture was open to the curious. Those who ventured within the walls wandered many miles of dark red carpeted corridors in semi- darkness. Sometime during our visit to Tokyo we stopped at the lmperial Hotel, the pre-war rendezvous of diplomats and statesmen. The setting was good, the food excellent, and the tab amazingly low. There was much to be seen in this capital city of japan, the largest city in the Orient, but one or two days was not nearly enough to do it in. We only scratched the surface, but we had been to Tokyo. Back in uYokuska,', the bars, hotels and cabarets with which we became familiar early in our Hve day visit were of all shapes and sizes. They ranged from tiny old-fashioned japanese tea rooms to flashy night clubs which would put some of the gaudy stateside gin millsn to shame. The P.O. and E.M. Clubs with their various bars, restaurants, barber shops and ballrooms also saw a great many Smalley men. Even though we were burdened with gifts and void of money there was more than one wistful eye turned and one longing glance cast when the Smalley drew out of the bay on June 29th.

The tempo quickened and hearts beat faster all over the ship. The sense of routine and boredom van- ished as we hastened towards the distressed aviator.

The vibrating stern sank down to ocean level as the smooth blades of the two propellers bit into the water and sent it writhing in white foam fifteen feet into the air. As the fantail dug deeper into the sea, Smalleyis proud bow lifted its chin high, slic- ing into the dark waves and splitting an occa- sional swell into heavy spray which dashed over the bridge. Soon we were streaking toward the pilot at almost 40 miles an hour and the Task Force had long since disappeared behind us on the cold horizon. A weather plane was orbiting over the survivor's tiny raft and our radars kept a constant fix on his position. In an hour and fifteen minutes, we saw the red puffs from his emergency smoke bombs, as we drew closer we could see the solitary figure in the little rub- ber raft surrounded by deep green dye marker with the assist plane circling faithfully over- head. Five minutes after we spotted the pilot he was safely on board. His total time in the water was only eighty minutes. At the moment of rescue the starboard side of the ship looked like a circus grandstand overloaded with zeal- ous camera fans. We were happy to know that our mission, however slight, had saved a life and therefore had been successful. Airficlds afioat ,i ll K. Q.

After almost a month of continuous watches, exercises and replen- ishments, DesDiv 302 left 77,, to visit Hako- date, japan. VVhile we lay there peacefully at anchor the Korean Armistice was signed. It was greeted with an uncertain, skeptical silence by most of the Smalley men, though some hap- pily anticipated an early return to the States. After a two-week anti-submarine training interlude with Task Group 96.7 off the north- ern coast of Honshu we intended to return to Yokosuka for upkeep. However, in order to elude typhoons Lola and Mamie we were forced into the well-protected harbor at Sasebo. Following a week there we rejoined '477'i for another long period of steaming in the Iapanese and China Seas. Early in September, after several days along- side a tender in Sasebo, we spent two interest- ing weeks in and about Inchon, Korea. Our mid-month return to 6'77', was marked by an exciting incident which occurred when a heli- copter lost power while hovering over our fan- tail during a daily guard mail run. The whirly- bird dipped perilously for an instant and caught one wheel in the starboard depth charge racks, then it Hopped abruptly into the water. Immediately warning the ships astern, Smal- ley backed down quickly to recover the pilot and the crewman who had clambered out of the icopter as it plunged to the bottom of the sea. Galvanizing into action, the crew had them safely aboard in a few minutes. 2 N9 we ve?

Smalley participated in dozens of these operations. Often on a moments notice, high- line transfers of both personnel and equipment were effected as easily as the fantail was rigged for our nightly movies. The perpetual routine of shipboard life with the task force imbued almost everyone with a sense of inescapable boredom.

The Iapanese people themselves were the major attraction and we of the Smalley became quite fond of them after repeated visits had familiarized us with their interesting habits. A whaleboat ride to Fleet Landing always preceded liberty in the muddy streets of Sasebo.

Others started with the Club Lorraine, a USU, which provided writing desks, a snack bar and a small orchestra. Fishing rods, cam- eras, jewelry and other durable gifts were sought by many at the convenient Army PX. Protestant and Catholic churches and an Army chapel were all within walking distance of the landing.

During visits to Saseho the ship held parties at the City Hall huilding and the lchi Fuji Hotel. Beer and food were abundant and oriental entertainers provided a fast moving show on both festive occasions. Many men took advantage of a two-day trip to the resort town of Unzen which is situated high in the forest-clad mountains of Kyushu, some 60 miles south of muggy Saseho. Clean. pleasant hotels, hot sulphur baths, horseback riding, swimming and good food were found there. The refreshing atmosphere afforded Complete rural relaxation and those who spent the night away from the hot, grey decks of the An aft:-rnoon's stroll in Sas:-ho Night spot hy day ship never regretted the long bus ride over huinpy dirt roads. The department stores and souvenir shops which bordered the busy Sasebo streets were thoroughly comhed by curious Smalley men in search of curios and useful articles. Under- sized taxis and hicycle-pulled rickshaws car- ried many white-hatted customers to the eity's trinket shops and night eluhs during all hours of the day. That a great fondness developed for friends in Saseho was evident from the many reluctant farewells that were hid as we sailed from the inountain-surrounded harbor at the end of our last visit to japan. 23 i Q I 1 1 i . is 4 wf-1.- . ,, mm, ,,.,.-M ..

The Iapanese are great fishermen and it must have seemed as if they brought all their catch to Hakodate to be cleaned and canned. The breeze though, even if it did carry the strong scent of fish, was a Welcome refief from the furnace-like heat of Sasebo. The city is surrounded on all sides by tower- ing mountains that shroud themselves in the softest mantles of green and purple. Thick cumulous clouds nestle at their tops, dividing the clear blue sky from the less vivid shades of the slopes. When the oflicers and men of the Smalley stepped ashore in Hakodate, they were about to see a city which had not felt the impact of the souvenir hunting craze of the American sailor. Prices were low and there was surpris- ingly little to buy. Few of the local inhabitants spoke English or any of the many japanese versions thereof.

Most of us who rated liberty spent our two days roaming the streets looking for local color and something to buy. Few of us found either. Those of us who managed to get away from the town and ventured into the surrounding countryside found several resort areas with beaches of black volcanic sand and sulphur baths. Had we a few more days in Hakodate, these quaint little resorts would undoubtedly have found many of us basking in the sun, broiling in the hot sulphurous springs, or just walking the roads taking pictures. Hakodate was a pleasant interlude between the Sasebo that we had just left and the ten days of intensive anti-submarine exercises which we were about to commence. Hakodate was the rendezvous point for the ships of Destroyer Division 302 and 182 along with the jeep carrier, U .S.S. Point Cruz, which were to take part in this vital training program. 25 NVhirlybird delivers t r ry ae a L , lr., j. it .t . ,,., .

The jeep carrier Poi ut Cruz, participating in Operation Kite, acted as a landing platform for Army and Marine heli- copters which ferried neutral Indian Troops from there to the Truce Zone where they acted as administrators of UN and Communist pris- oners who refused repatriation. These same ,copters were returning to lnchon loaded with released American prisoners. While at anchor, all hands were given a chance to go ashore for a glimpse of shattered Inchon. Two years previously General Mac- Pusan Harbor Arthur had led an amphibious force through the treacherous 35 foot tides in a successful surprise attack behind entrenched Communists lines. The great disparity between high and low tides was evident when ships floating close inshore were resting on visible mud a few hours later. The rubble and poverty of Inchon remained as evidence of the intense battle fought there. Crimy, frightened children and tired, hungry adults plucked out a half-existence in the rutted streets near their collapsing shacks. It seemed to us that these people were so dis- consolate that they would wave the flag of any nation which granted them a cherished bowl of rice each day. 27 hmmm Fifth Avenue, lnchon lnchon was not the only port of call for Smalley in Korea, for Pusan was added to the list when we delivered 108 marines to their units after they had had a recreational visit to Hong Kong. This major South Korean sea- port bristled with activity as Navy and mer- chant ships delivered supplies for use by the Army. Liberty was not possible there because of our operating schedule. Before the truce was signed very few destroyer men had set foot on Korea, so Smal- ley men felt fortunate for their opportunity to see the battleground of the UN-Communist struggle at first hand. l l l 4 4 1 il fl il it l I 1 S 2 1 N 1 1 u-.a,.s- M.-4 .......,... .-M. l6'c',v,w1 Beppu-what did that new name hold in store for the Smr1lleyitesP XV hat new tales about this place could be added to their long reper- toire of sea stories? Would it be like Sasebo and would the people be as friendly? Beppu-the strange sounding word kept re-echoing in the windy salt air as the ship completed long days of hard steaming with Task Force 77 and impatiently awaited her detachment on October 2nd. That day came and the Smalley with the rest of Division 302 broke away from the huge screen of tin cans and headed toward Beppu. Finally on the morning of October 4th, the bow of the 565,' nosed its way into the peace- ful haven of Beppu harbor on the southern- most Japanese island of Kyushu. Different from previous stops, this port of call was for the primary purpose of liberty. That's why the men were eager to drop the hook-and per- haps, a bit too eager because that fateful day the Smalley literally dropped her port hook- chain and all-right into 35 fathoms of brine. There at the bottom it lay and subsequent draggings to find it were in vain. At a later date, however, it was recovered for her by a salvage ship. Once the ship was secured in her anchorage, all thoughts were concentrated on liberty. For the next ten days liberty was to commence at 1300 and it wasnlt hard to get an overnight if you wanted it. So this provided ample time during each day for Smalley men to enjoy themselves in the pleasant little japanese resort town. And that is exactly what they did. The warm sunny afternoons were preoccupied with .a series of fast-moving, thrill-a-minute softball games. Ten teams were organized to determine the champions of an Inter-Depart- 5 V... ,,,,,r..,,.

For the finals the Commuiiieations Division inet on the dia- mond with their worthy opponents, the Chiefs and Mess Cooks. After some pretty stiff com- petition, the Chiefs and Mess Cooks Team proved they meant business and came out on top as the shipis champs. Early afternoon would witness the motor whaleboats filled to capacity heading toward the liberty landing, the white uniforms of the riders gleaming in the bright sunlight. As they stepped ashore, the men would glance up to read a sign that said, iWVelcome, U.S. Navyu and something about American-japanese rela- tions. Already it felt good to be ashore. The next thing was to find something to do. They wandered afoot through the narrow crowded streets of the city, dodging rickshaws and noisy buses, and rubbing elbows with the natives, some of whom wore kimonos while others wore western style clothes. There were countless shops and stores selling jewelry, lacquer wares, silk goods and the usual souvenirs. Some sailors had gone ashore equipped with camera strapped over the back to take advan- tage of the sight-seeing. There was always the inevitable taxi and so after a certain amount of haggling with the driver over the cost, they would pile into the cab for a tour . , 13 NE Competition increases Ul'X3N ' Cood liberty ahead around the city. The first stop was at the stern and wise old SO-foot Buddha, the largest one in all japan. His dead-pan expression was a fine target for cameras. Next the tourists went for a ride up the not-too-safe-looking cable car. Once at the top of the mountain and breathing easily again, they enjoyed the antics of the animals of the zoo and the amusements offered there. The height of this place pro- vided a big 3-D view of the whole city and harbor. After much waiting in line, they found themselves again at the foot of the cable and their taxi waiting to take them on. A large mountain entirely populated by a clan of monkeys was the final point of interest on the tour of the town. They had seen the sights of Beppu. But every city has two sides and Beppu was no exception to this very nice rule. There has to be night life. The evenings were devoted to several various spots throughout the town. To some, the commercial public baths were a high point. Beppu boasted munerous natural hot springs which made possible this new and different type of relaxation not uncommon in japan. Some will never forget the music and merriment found in the familiar KNO. li' and other places. The Army welcomed the sailors to the NCO Club at their Camp Chicamaugua A stern god so the Navy could enjoy some good stateside food and music.

Our South Korean Ensign was called to the bridge as we closed to investigate the crude craft. Ensign joeng first thought the men were Communists, but in a few minutes he revealed that they were South Koreans who claimed they had been adrift for ten days without food or Water, ever since their temperamental engine had failed them. We pulled them along- side and they swarmed aboard. The boat was about 35 feet long and looked like it might hold ten people. However, much to our sur- prise, twenty-nine dirty, hungry fishermen jumped out of it. We attached our towing line to the boat, which looked as though it had been made from Y 4 E? Jn' , f f. Fishermen fed E '31 5 j E Fishermen rescued drift wood two centuries ago, and started out for Pohang, Korea, which our translater had learned was their home. We radioed ahead to the Army and South Korean authorities and then settled down to feeding the poor lot. From the manner in which they gobbled the food and water which we gave them, their story must have been true. Regardless, all the time they were on board they were kept huddled together on the fantail under the guard of several well-armed gunner's mates. The odor in the vicinity of the fantail was nauseous, and we decided that in personal cleanliness these people were just the opposite from their japanese neighbors. Of course they had been at sea for several days, but they must have been saving up on smell for months. Nevertheless, we were very happy to bring them home. As we steamed into Pohang Hang, a South Korean Army boat met us and re- moved the delighted survivors from our cus- tody. When they pulled away, towed by the ROK craft, they were as frantic in waving their thanks as they had been in flagging our assistance. With this deed accomplished we rejoined TF77 for our last round of circular steaming. On 4 November 1953, with our patience strained and with eagerness to be on our way, we were released from 77. For the last time the Smalley entered Sasebo, where we loaded supplies and readied the ship for our long journey home. Hang Kang Early in the morning of the 14th of Novem- ber, any passenger on the Kowloon Ferry could have seen four American destroyers steaming up the channel between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. To the men of those destroyers, the first stop in the long trip home presented a diverse wealth of unfor- gettable sights and experiences. The British Crown Colony of Hong Kong as it exists today was established on 1 july 1898, when the area which includes Hong Kong Island, the territory of Kowloon and the New Territories was leased from China for 99 years. 1 Bulging with the refugees from Communist China, the Crown Colony has doubled its population since 1941 and expanded into the Kowloon territory, where much of the wealth Victoria Square of the merchants of Shanghai and Tientsin has created a great industrial area. Accustomed as we had grown to the Japa- nese 'cbum-boatsfp we were totally unprepared for the onslaught of Chinese merchants that engulfed and overwhelmed our quarterdeck watch, almost before we had moored. From this mad confusion, however, there eventually emerged order resulting mainly from the Hail- ing fists of Chief 'cStewn and the torrents of water unleashed from the Smallegfs fire hoses. In no time at all, the entire after section of the main deck-from quarterdeck to fantail-was a maze of trinkets, mahogany furniture, Rolex watches, ivory figurines, jade, star sapphires, and bolts of tweeds and cashmeres. Inter- spersed were the busy tailors with their meas- uring tapes, ready pencils and order pads. ------Aw: 3 Aberdeen 32 Many purchases were inadc lmcforc the first liberty boat had left thc ship, but thc majority of us decided to visit the shops on the beach before committing ourselves. Fresh from the papier-mache cities of japan, the men of the Smalley stepped ashore to End a modern city with well-paved shaded streets, large department stores, tiny shops by the thousand, and bargain buys that could not be equalled any place in the world. Thereupon commenced the greatest shop- ping spree in the history of the Smalley. VVhether we stoppedat Mohanis or the Taj Mahal, James S. Leeis or XVillie McCee,s, No Squeak johnsonis or No Squeak Youngis-it all Z Peak Tramway amounted to precisely the same thing-the great green Yankee dollar was god. Ptesult- the best garbed civilians in the U. S. Navy. But Hong Kong was far more than a shop- per's paradise. A five minute ride up the Peak Tramway gave a breathtaking view of the entire Colony.

Our stay was all to short and 18 November found us half reluctantly heading Westward once again. As the ships of 302 knifed a path through the Waters of the South China Sea, the land behind receded until it blended with, then dipped below the horizon and another chapter in the story of our cruise had been written.

The Pollywogs, however, were not without their moments of derring-do, for the day before the equator was reached, fire hoses appeared on various parts of the ship with Pollywogs manning the nozzles and the Shell- backs on the receiving end of the salt water. A M l l The momentous day started cloudy and a little cool, and when all hands went to the mess hall for breakfast, they found some of the highest paid messcooks in the Navy waiting to serve them. The Captain and his crew of officer-messcooks did a remarkable job of run- ning breakfast on schedule, and cleaned the messing spaces and steam table ,til all fairly glittered. At 0800 Davy jones QChief Cecilj and Peg-leg Pete QLaChancej came aboard and delivered the proclamation of King Neptune. There then followed a series of details for the lowly Pollywogs, as befitted their position of undesirables. Some patrolled the decks on hands and knees, their heads covered with pillow cases, and presented a tempting and ample target for 34 SE i 'FIR the ever ready Shellbacks and their shillelaghs. QDictionary version-a stick to hit withj.

Rain started almost as soon as initiations, thus helping the Shellbacks make the Polly- wogs, who were huddled on the foc'sle, as miserable as possible. As the initiations started, the royal high sheriit QSchiebrelj and his assistant QChief Hicksj started the procession aft through a general cleansing with two hoses manned by McCardle and Villaire, two royal bears. The Pollywogs were then sent through a gauntlet of more bears, Knight, Hayes, Hubbard, and Covington, who proved that you donit have to be an Irishman to swing a shillelagli.

Unlike the mountain-surrounded cities of japan and Eastern Asia, Singapore is set on a plain which is almost level with the sea. The white build- ings and spires, which seemed to rise out of the flat earth, rested gently in the morning sun and clothed the melting-pot city in an unex- pected serenity. The British Colonial stamp of law and order was clearly apparent in Singapore. There is quiet harmony between the thousands of Malayans, Chinese, Indians and other national- ities mainly because of the supervision of a British Colonial caste. Malaya, famous for its rubber, tin and gold deposits, is actually a peninsula seething with communist inspired unrest. In spite of all the guerilla warfare which plagues the independ- ent northern Malayan states, the island of Singapore remains peaceful and continues to grow wealthy. In the Moslem section of the city we found clusters of gold jewelry shops, in the Malayan quarters were native arts and crafts and in the Chinese sections were the tailors. The heart of the city, near Rallies Square, con- Cross over the bridge 37 ii H , Malayals Astoria tained The Raffles Hotel, Raffles Museum and Raffles University-all named after the first British colonizer of Singapore, Sir Stafford Raffles. There was little of the mysterious oriental intrigue which Sydney Creenstreet, Peter Lorre and Humphrey Bogart have made the stigma of Singapore. As a matter of fact, most people could not find a Singapore Sling, much less a smoky bar with bamboo curtains. More- over, after the spending spree in Hong Kong, most of us could not afford much more than an afternoon at one of the sunny swimming pools, or an evening at one of the three popu- lar amusement parks. VVe left the sunny city after a frugal, but relaxing visit. g I Hsylnn Falling like a tear drop from the tip of India. the island of Ceylon lies in those latitudes which divide the Indian Ocean from the Bay of Bengal. Steady steaming, with only an occasional break in routine to conduct competitive exer- cises or independent ship maneuvers, carried the four little ships of the globe circling Thunderbolt Dog Division through the Straits of Mallacca and across the Bay of Bengal. On the last night in November they skirted the southern tip of Ceylon and turned north. 'The following morning the Smalley passed through the breakwater and into the artificial harbor of Colombo. Consisting of several long concrete jettys which extend out from the shore, the harbor at Colombo is said to be the largest artificial anchorage in the world. The method by which the ships were required to moor was indeed unique and demanded the utmost in ship- handling. To take advantage of every yard of space, ships moored to buoys both fore and aft. This mooring arrangement enabled the Ceylonese to literally pack their harbor. The city of Colombo itself offered little in the way of recreation. There was of course the Calle Face llotcl and the resort at Mo, Lavinia, the latter being a few miles outside the city and offering fairly good bathing facilities. The Slmtterbugs, of which the division boasted many, had their usual field day. There were colorful scenes of Buddhist Priests garbcd in golden yellow robes march. ing in groups or singly through the streets begging their food and in return casting a blessing on those of the faith who offered them sustenance. There was the contrast of the ox drawn carts rattling along side by side with modern automobiles. A sailor who walked along one of the fairly modern main streets Q..

All he need do though was to turn down any one of the side streets and he would discover another world. These side streets were unpaved, dusty and contained an astoundingly large assort- ment of indigenous odors and cacophonous sounds. The top-heavy ox carts bounced along, merchants hawked their wares and bare foot brown bodies clad only in loin cloths darted back and forth, filling the street with noise and apparent confusion.

The whole scene was lorded over by the heat and blinding brightness of a penetrating equa- torial sun. A few Smalley sailors with a little more of the Wanderlust than the majority of their ship- mates made the trip from Colombo through the jungle to Kandy. Kandy, in the days of the Sinhalese Kings, was the capitol of Ceylon. Though there were many interesting sights in Kandy, including the Temple of The Sacred Tooth of Buddha and the Botanical Gardens with their rich array of tropical plants, the most interesting thing about the trip was the ride through the jungle. The road from Colombo to Kandy twisted and turned as it wound its way through the mountains to the center of the Island nearly 4,000 feet above sea level. Along the road could be seen rice paddies, rubber plantations, tea plantations and finally the deep, dark, clamp jungle itself. For most of the Smalley 39 sailors this was the first real jungle any of tlleln had seen, and lived up to all expecta- tions of what a jungle should be. After three days of tugging at their moor- ings under the perpetual eye of the Ceylonese sun, the ships of Destroyer Division 302 made all preparations for getting underway and on the morning of the fourth of December steamed out of Colombo, pointing their bows westward toward Arabia. s B K S S On the road to Kandy Fashion center KH5-llf' Czzmzru On the day before our arrival in ,llas-at- Tanura the division split np. with the Daly and Bronson heading for Balirein lsland while the Smalley and Coflen continued north to Ras-at-Tanura. The port of Ras-at-Tamira sits on the edge of the great Arabian Desert nearly two thirds the way up the Persian Gulf. It is an out of the way corner of the world and one into which the average tourist is not likely to venture. Here on the fringe of the great barren plain is the gigantic refinery of the Arabian Amer- ican Oil Company fAramcoD. Despite the paucity of recreational facili- ties, the people of Aramco rolled out the wel- come mat in their efforts to make our two day stay as enjoyable as possible. Tours of the refinery were scheduled and parties were arranged for the men of the little ships that had carried the American flag to this far corner of the World. As the Snmlirif nose-d alongside the dock there was one question uppermost' in the minds ol, all hainds when they gazed out at the vast emptiness that was Arabia: VVhy Ras-at- 'l'aiiiii'a?i' lt certainly wasnlt for purposes of liberty and recreation that the Navy had ordered ns liere. lt vs as for something far more important. ll was the carrying out of a policy that is as old as navies themselves, that of showing the flag from the deck of a man-of- war. lt was to let the countries of the middle east know that they had not been forgotten. lt was to let the world know that the United States Navy conld steam up the Persian Gulf in force at any time if this vital area of the world were ever to be threatened by forces of aggression unfriendly to the United States. Destroyer Division 302 was performing duty just as important as any it had performed in Korea when the twenty 5-inch guns of the Division made their appearance in the Persian Gulf. DPSFRI' IIASI X g J. 254 Mm.. .gawiviihv Q 1167 With nearly 4,500 miles of steaming ahead of her before reaching the next liberty port the Smalley backed away from the pier at Ras- at-Tanura and headed down the Persian Gulf. Brief fueling stops were scheduled for Aden and Port Said. In the course of the next 1:3 days the Smalleyis twin eleven-and-a-half foot screws would push the ship through seven gulfs and seas and the worldis longest canal. WVe retraced our track down the Persian Gulf and into the Gulf of Oman, skirted the tip of Arabia and steamed into the Indian Ocean. For two days the Division cruised along the slatternly, barren, brown coast of southern Arabia. There was not a green thing in sight. Our stop in Aden brought a few hours respite in our underway routine, but still the scenery remained the same. One cursory glance from the main deck and we felt no pangs of disappointment at the thought that within six hours, Aden would be but a mem- ory. The Colony for the most part consisted of several rickety baked mud buildings lean- Hflihffiiwv Port Said ing at drunken angles and scattered over the side of a mountain. With the exception of a few white faced Government buildings, the British Protectorate of Aden gave the impres- sion that it was trying to burrow itself into the blackish brown rock of the dead volcano upon which it existed. As Aden faded away into indistinct un- eveness in the horizon, the Division formed into a column and with a straight shot at the X S X X S Aden 41 The desert sentinel We ' . , 4 A ' ,ff ik E N km I xxx f vj i J Q 'V . , in fp is .i he . p pp 'L l iillg it , t -fra-VW .K f-,fx A - Suez Canal, turned into the Red Sea. The large amount of shipping We encountered dur- ing the ensuing days gave testimony to the volume of traffic that flowed down the desert ditch. Ten days after leaving the oil fields of Ras- at-Tanura We dropped the Khooki' in the harbor of Port Suez and awaited our turn to enter the Canal. Unlike the Panama Canal, the Suez can handle traffic only in one direction at a time. Eighty miles long and only forty yards Wide, this Wet blue pencil line on the brown paper of the desert connects the Mediterran- ean With the Red Sea, subsequently with the Near and Far East. Our passage was to be made at night and it Was with unusual curiosity that we noted the jury rig of lights that Was required by the Canal Authorities. As we started through and the cold Wind began whipping down from across the desert, foul Weather jackets and pea coats made their appearance about the ship for the first time since before the cruise began. Very little could be seen of the surrounding country but We Were assured by those who had been through before that nothing in the Way of scenic Wonders was being missed. -4 1 ff-,I Both sides of the Canal are empty desert and stretch for the lull length of this engineering wonder from Port Suez to Port Said. The eerie glow cast by the huge nionstrosity of a light strapped across our bow gave a gl1oStliU6SS to the nearby desert dune. lt gave the feeling of being in another world-a world of lonely eniptincss.

Once again the iircrooin pGl'S011l19l were broken out to tucl ship. By late after- noon we were ready to get underway.

The Acropolis Athens On a grey December morning two days before Christmas, the Smalley wound her way up the channel into the harbor of Piraeus and tied up outboard of the Cotten to a rather rickety-looking old pier. So this was sunny southern Greece. It felt more like the North Pole or Newport. Our first glimpse of the fabled lands of Hellas had come as a persistent blue grey mountain peak thrust its broken nose through the pall of clouds and morning mist that shrouded the horizon. As the Smalley had pushed aside the miles, the white walled houses of the town became apparent and they seemed to run up and down the mountainside, from the summit to the sea. Parthenon 43 Piraeus is the port for Athens, the latter being about eight or ten miles inland. To some extent Greece presented a paradox. Here had been the birthplace of western civilization, here too, amid the sad old ruins of a great nation could be found all the dregs .and filth which the tides of the world and centuries had thrown upon the shores of Pellopenesus. One day was all that was required to see Piraeus. The migration of 1200 Americans from the pier at Piraeus to Athens was a tour companys dream. The target for this vast migration was the ruins of the ancient Acropo- lis. The highest point of land in the city, the Acropolis looked like a table top littered with broken pieces of white china. It stood out starkly in all its weathered whiteness against the deep grey of the cloudy sky. lt truly looked like a ghost from the past standing guard over the city-the ghost of Greek greatness. There must have been many who felt this as they unlimbered their cameras for a first shot 'of that about which they had heard and read so much. After our guide had given a preliminary speech and pointed out Mars Hill and the spot where Socrates had received the hemlock over two thousand years ago, along with-several other interesting points, we proceeded up to the Acropolis. Of all the temples that at one time crowned this height, there were only two , .-- 1- Santa Sakadales that had to any extent survived the depreda- tions of the elements, time, and man: the fain- ous Parthenon and the Erecthyum. Although practically all the statues and famous sculptur- ings had been destroyed or removed over the centuries, there was still enough left to make our visit an impressive one that would he remembered long after other places that we had seen were forgotten. if i 'lliene xx.is nnnr to Xthens than oltl ruins, lla' lliseiixeletl llils xxlieli We Xhldll tltiwll lIlt0 the eenlei ol the inoilein eitv ll'ith its depart- nient stores .intl xx itle tiaillie elogtgetl streets it eonld lnixe lieen any large ilnierieun city, 'lhuneh the ilziys xxeie eolal and windy with no sign ol the sun, ue xxaillu-tl along the avg- nues. tulxingg in the sights. ln the evening per- haips ai len ol us stopped in git one ol' the many night elnhs in Mliens. lt was here that We cliseoxiereal hoxx eaisy it was to run up a hill registered in the inillions. lint with the exelizinge ratio git Siltttltlll clinic-liiinie to ti dollar, our zilzirin soon clisaippeauecl when we hegan to eonx ert our ex enings entertainment hill into ternis ol greeiiliaelts.'l Despite the impressive exeliange rate, priees were fantastically high. . . y lnllation was rznnpant in Greece.

There was a feast of 4 3 , 3 if i 2 1 I lv ' fam- lt's in the img 44 Merry Christmas to all the best food the Navy had to offer, and it was probably by far the most sumptuous and extravagant meal that these children ever had or will sit down to. There were presents for all and then a movie program of cartoons in the mess hall. During the morning the Piraeus Police Clee Club came aboard and serenaded the orphans and the crew. On Christmas Day a few lucky men of the Smalley found that they had been selected to fill invitations for Christmas dinner at the homes of various American citizens, both civilian and military who were residing in Greece. At the end of our stay in Piraeus when the last 50,000 drachmae note was burning a hole in our pockets, we repaired to the john Bull Bar, the uhellis kitehenv of the Piraeus water- front. Who will ever forget the john Bull? Here you could get a beer or a bruise. lt all depended upon what you were looking tor. Our four-day stay in Creece went quickly and it wasnit long before we were steaming back down the channel and out to the open sea. Our consolation, however, lay in the tact 45 l that we were well on our way home now and that in less than three weeks would be sighting the shores of the United States.

Real French champagne, plus gam- bling casinos, European jazz and can-can dancers-that was for the Smalley. When our liberty boats first passed those sleek sloops and private schooners in the Cannes yacht basin, close to our anchorage, we knew we had hit a port where people really knew how to live. Cannes offered a few cafes and restaurants, but its grandeur was mostly proclaimed by its exclusive hotels, such as the Martinez. Nearby Nice reigned as the most cultured French city of the Cote D7Azur with its ritzy shops, well- kept parks and intimate night clubs which most of the Smalley sailors hastened to enjoy. Some of the crew went directly to the beau- tiful ski resort of Auron which was nestled in the snow-covered Alps which could be seen rising majestically in great contrast to the bar- ren desert of Arabia which we saw only a few weeks before. Even though it was mid-winter, the sunny Mediterranean afternoons permitted pleasant tours around the famous Cote D,Azur. Bou- langeries, epiceries, perfume, and clothing shops were seen everywhere filled with an easy-going clientele which included school children, farm folk, sahled demoiselles and professeurs. After two days of sight-seeing, Smalley men were ready to celebrate New Year's Eve. Cafes and night clubs in Nice and Cannes were brimming with high spirits and good cheer. Le vin-superb, la musique-torride, les fem- mes-mais oui! Fun was expensive, but after payday in France-clcst la vie. XV hen we weighed anchor on the second day of january and headed for Cibraltar and our last leg home, we realized we were leaving one of the best ports of the cruise.

From the sea, the town looked clean and white in the bright morning sun and the red tile roofs of the houses gave depth and distance to the scene. The town crawled tortuously about half way up the southern side of the Rock and faced across the Straits toward Africa. Fortress town 47 Our stop was to be a short one and we remained only long enough to fuel. However, the few hours ashore were suflicient to peruse the town. A sentry standing post on top of the Rock could have seen a column of white- headed black ants suddenly swarm ashore and proceed toward the center of the town. Liberty had commenced. For the next several hours the neat, narrow little streets, flanked on both sides by two-story buildings, some with color- ful facades of tiled mosaics and Spanish style open balconies of wrought iron were crowded with the sailors of Destroyer Division 302. For those who had money left from their stay i11 France and had intentions of discovering bar- gainsf time was of the essence, for it was Saturday and in Gibraltar that means a half day. The camera clubfansv took things more leisurely though, and commenced photograph- ing everything in sight. At 1400 the Smalley began spinning her main engines and a few minutes later got underway. She was followed out of the harbor by the remainder of the Division. h U15 ,tllflnfzk-111111 ,Hume The Old Wforld had been left behind and the New VVorld lay 3,000 miles over a horizon of angry gray windswept ocean. Once out into the Straits of Gibraltar, the Division formed a line abreast to starboard and our course was set to follow the sun. lVe had been following the sun since leaving Newport eight months before and now at last it would lead us on the final leg of our journey home. It was an eight day cruise to our next stop. Bermuda, and the underway routine of daily life soon settled down over the S mulley. There was a difference from previous times at sea though, for now a certain electrification and feeling of anticipation was in the air. The winds could howl and the sea stand the ship on end, and it would matter little at this point. The crew of the Smalley could stand it all, for Newport was only three thousand miles away. The days alternated between bright sunshine with brisk breezes and cold gray dawns which unleashed torrents of rain and howling winds against the ship. We pitched and rolled and the mountainous sea broke over the forecastle, and sent sheets of solid water cascading down upon the open bridge and banging against the bulkheads of the pilot house. The ship would falter for an instant under this onslaught, then slowly raise her bow high and plunge on to repeat the process. Nights like this were the worst of all for those who had to stand the bridge watches, for up there-there was no escape from the cold. But it was not all like this. There were days of calm and nights when Sk its tln' inoon nntl stars slum n elear in the heavens, 'l'lien tln' :noon uns like at seiinitar slice out of the lilat-k slit-ll ol night :intl the stars like a niillion pin holes. lfroin the silxer crescent the moonlight shot and xyayen-cl across the surface ol' the sea like niolten silxer poured from the ladle ol lienxren. Un these nights, the sea, deep and dark. rolled and swislit-tl gently against the hull and lullecl the oil'-wateli to slumber. Night alter night through storin and calm, the little ships ol' the Division rode on across the impenetrable and inserutable sea, ever onward, hoineward. Until one cloudy morning there loomed a green wooly shelf between where sea and sky met. lierniuda was on the horizon. llere we relfueled and moved Oli. Now only two days and the ever-pounding sea separated us from Newport. The boredom which had haunted us throughout the cruise and the adventure which was always fresh were finally forgotten with the intense antici- pation of home. YVe knew that our farnilies-mothers, fathers, wives, children and girl friends-would be waiting for us. The DesLant band would wel- come us with a fanfare from the decks of the USS Cclscufle. The Newport Mayor and Com- DesLant would laud us for a long job Well done. And so it was . . . we were not disappointed . . . on 15 january they were all there. But more important we were there too. The cruise, the experience, eight months and sixty-five thou: sand miles were behind us. At last we were home. Sir Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill. l ll R. il., .

It eonsisted ol' ten different rates, all specialties required to keep the machinery and associated auxiliaries of a modern man-of-war operating. Three-fifths of the Smalley consisted ol' main propulsion machinery. The Machinists Mates and the Boiler Tenders who comprised ISV Division saw us through sixty-five thousand miles of steaming with a minimum ot easual- ties. In the two fire rooms the BT,s operated the four boilers and the auxiliary equipment required to give the turbines the six hundred pounds of steam that they so readily devoured. From FULL BACK to STOP and then to FLANK the fire rooms always got the steam up. Remember when we blew safetys at thirty- five knots with 77? Un the other side ol the bullcheads in the engine rooms the MMR sent the steam into the turbines and made her gof, The Machinist Mates and the lioiler Tenders are probably the elosest knit group on the ship without one, the other is worthless. 1 x - Ihr hottcst. dirtiest jobs, but the most neees . 4 s uxg this was the lot ot the engineers. llnderwfax, exaeting response and eontinual mamtenauee was oi' the utmost importanec tor without .1 perleet engineering plant Sm alley would have been a eold dead ll tht llllx tilt to wfithout light. without heat. and una e' move.

Tl1e 111c11 of Division, whose idiosyncrasies were never co1n- pletely tathomed by tl1e nninitiated, were always 'iready to answer all bells.

They showed 53 movies a11d repaired the projector and when a 'glenionn was shown they took the rap as if it were they who had personally produced the Hop. And finally the third but not the least of the groups in KRD Division, the Av gang. It was their sweating and swearing that kept our temperamental dishwashing machines operat- in ging throughout the cruise. They maintained the refrigerating system and the emergency Diesel generator. They can be congratulated for having the most complete and up to date set of records in the Department. Then of course there was the 1nan with the typewriter. He not o11ly chased the liberty cards and the logs down each morning, but kept a fantastically large number of blueprints. records and files in order. It is probably because there is no other job anywhere on the ship aki11 to that of the engi- neers that their efforts are not always fully appreciated, but it 111ay be 11oted with pride that 11ot o11ce was tl1e Smalley unable to ful- fill l'l0l' operational coinmittnients because of a11 enginee1'i11g casualty.

They had left some eights months previously. lust as during normal operations. the shipis oilice became the melting pot lor all ship's business. This is where her Plans of the Day and watch bills were issued. This is where her operating schedules were first made known. This is where all the ships administra- tive information was filed, and then drawn from this pool to he pieced into the jigsaw puzzle known as ships work. News and infor- mation on ports-of-call was published hy the Officc force in the form ol dopc sheets dealing with recreation, cintertainment, and souvenir buying. llc-re it was that our logs were typed. records kept. and the numerous other clerical tasks were pcrlormcd which helped make the voyagc a smooth one. The Clombat team was small and rather green at the start ol' that long trclx toward Taslx Force T7 in the lar-oll Sea ol' japan. lint morale and willingness to Work were high, and the radar gang soon proved themselves a smooth and competent bunch. Occasionally a problem arose which momentarily stumped the experts, but the most involved operations soon became routine. At infrequent moments, how- ever, mistakes did occur, which oftentimes led to a good laugh at the expense of the perpetra- tor. The radio gang began by losing their only experienced man, which put quite a load on the new group of petty otticers. Tratlic literally trebled. Transmitters and receivers were in almost constant use.. Radio soon found it neces- sary to switch totwo sections. In spite of their shortage of personnel and lack of experience, the Snmlley radio gang had a high rating in the performance ot their duties and deserved the NVell Done they received from the Captain. For the Sonarmen, the hours of training condensed into one moment when Mr. XVPTU llill said upermission granted. Marcinowski yelled fire, and Sims let 24 hedgehogs ily over the starboard how one Spring evening in the mid-Pacific. NYhether a sulnnarine crew regretted that moment or a whale had a new hole through which to spout, the Sonarmen will never know. However the numerous mammals sighted as we crossed that wide span of hlue water lead us to an embarrassing conclusion despite the convincing arguments presented hy Mydosh. Sluski. House and the other members of the gang. The seemingly endless watches of continuous 'ipingingi' off Korea found Gregory or Brown on the stack and always Myers man- ning the Toe-Potfi Can we ever forget the BKT lowerings every four hours, our feet hare and our pants rolled, dodging the seas that broke over the fantail. Like everyone else, the signal gang started the cruise lacking in task force experience. But after operating with TF 77, the signalmen were a crack combat-trained outfit. The overall excellence of visual communications is elo- quent testimony to the training and hard work put in hy the hridge gang. In addition to this, their line naxigation in tlllliilllllllill' waters is deserving ol eonnnentlation. The SIIIIIHVU carries some I5 million dollars worth ol tnlies and assorted circuits which con- stitute the responsibility' ol' the electronics sec- tion oli the department. And. except for 3 recalcitrant YK, the high degree of opcrahility ol' the equipment is a taeit trihnte to the ET's radio, Sonar, Search and Fire Control Radars. They llorm a rather important segment of the SIIIllHt'tjl.S' personality as a man-of-war. In conclusion, the department was faced with a tough assignment' in girding itself for war. Our fine showing overseas tells part of the story of how successfully that assignment was met. The rest ol' it is known only to those who stood the watches and sea detail, and the thousand and one other items which together, constitute lite ahoard a modern combatant vessel.
