YV, Y Y ,,l 'L SN Tl Located on the next bay up the coast from Manila Bay. Subic has some of the best recrea- tional facilities for WESTPAC ships. This port, which SOUTHERLAND's crew got to know quite well because of our numerous stops there, has at the main base itself, facilities for miniature golf. skeet shooting, go-karting, slot-car racing, and softball. Grande Island, located in the center of the bay's fortification--one can still visit the gun battery sites--but has now been converted into a recreation area for U.S. military personnel only. Here one can engage in golfing, swimming, sailing. water skiing, skin diving, football, base- ball, or just plain relaxing. The island's hotel, game rooms, and night club provide additional opportunities to get away from it all. DAY 79... KAOHSIUNC5, TAIWAN Entering Kaohsiung Harbor, First boat ashore! 7 -'F 1 K! Kaohsiung, on the southern tip of Taiwan, serves as a major shipping center for the outstanding Taiwanese produce, and as a popular recreation port for U.S. Navy ships in WESTPAC. Because Taiwan's population is al- most entirely Chinese in descent, due to two massive Chinese migrations to the Island in the 1640's and in 1949, this port offers the visiting sailor nu- merous opportunities to sample Chinese culture by purchasing Chinese style statues, artwork and furniture or by eating authentic Chinese food in any of the outstanding restaurants.

DAY 87. .YANKEE STATION Both the first and the last of our periods in the combat zone of the Tonkin Gulf were spent on Yankee Station, the area from which U.S. Navy carriers launch their strikes against North Viet Nam. The first of these tours was with USS SHANGRI-LA QCVA-387, while the second was with USS AMERICA QCVA-665. SOUTHER- LAND's role while on this station was pri- marily that of plane guard ship, standing by close astern of the carrier during launcher and re- coveries to render assistance should a plane go down or in case a pilot should have to bail out overhead. Our secondary job was to screen the carrier against any possible air, surface or sub- surface threats. Strikes around the clock, con- tinual, course and speed changes, and the con- stant need to watch for threats kept us alert at all times. M DIVISION While on Yankee Station, M Division is heavily called upon to produce the power which is neces- sary while operating with a launching aircraft carrier. Speeds of up to 30 knots are often times required. M Division is composed of MachiniStS Mates and Boiler Technicians, whose job is t0 operate and maintain the ship's main pr0PU15i0n machinery. The main steam plants involve foul' SOOPSI 850 degrees F boilers and two turbine reduction gear engines. Additional duties involve testing and treating boiler feedwater and conver- sion of saltwater to fresh water in order to meet the crew's needs for drinking, cooking, laundry, showers and cleaning water. 5933? is 'U' Q? .- DAY 91 ...MORE STEAM! ff f ' Y 9 .

Care of the ships gener- ators, distribution of electrical power and maintenance of electrical tools are the work of the electricians. Interior communications systems, the main gyroscope, and a number of pieces of navigational equipment are maintained by the IC men. The Auxiliary gang's work includes maintenance of heating steam, air conditioning, refrigeration and ventilation systems and the steering engines. Welding, metalwork, and damage control in cases of fire or flooding, are the specialties of the shipfitters and Damage Controlmen. Despite the variety of tasks performed, the entire division is trained to handle all emergency equipment and to repair damage from fire, collision or enemy action. 311 ' 1 , Bath Iron works Bath Maine, in December 1944, From her birth at , M latt r stages of World War II the post-war years, the Korean through the e g tion riod of 1964, and the war in Viet Nam, War, the FRAM I modermza pe AND has been a proud, hard working ship.

HONG KONG The British Colony of Hong Kong, which consists of Hong Kong Island, the mainland and city of Kow- loon, the New Territories, and munerous islands in the area, provided what was the highlight of the cruise for most of the crew. Custom-tailored suits, rattanware, furniture, paintings, silk, carvings of wood and ivory, and numerous other items were ac- quired here at unbelievably low prices. The restau- rants in town, night clubs, and floating restaurants at such places as the fishing village of Aberdeen, all offered a chance to enjoy Chinese cuisine at its best. In addition, beautiful and fascinating trips to Victoria Peak, the New Territories, Tiger Balm Gardens, Re- pulse Bay and Thieves Market all made the time spent in Hong Kong an enjoyable one. A warm welcome from Mary Soo and her girls.

The aiming of the guns is done by the Fire Control Technicians who maintain and operate the radar, target designation system, com- puter, director and stable element. These pieces of equipment are used to acquire targets, compute bal- listic factors, stabilize the mounts against ship's movements and aim and fire the guns. Maintenance of the gun mounts, small arms, and associated equipment is the Gun- ner's Mates responsibility. In ad- dition, they must train the men from various other divisions who help man the mounts, or who han- dle small arms in order to assure speed, accuracy and safety in de- livering our projectiles on target.

Due to the large number of personnel being discharged or transferred upon arrival in San Diego, much administrative work is created for the Ships Office and Medical Office. The Ships Office, Post Office and Medical Office function almost as separate divisions. Working directly for the Captain and XO, the Yeomen, and Personnelrnen handle the ship's clerical work. The Postal Clerk makes sure that the mail goes out as often as possible and more importantly, that mail call is held soon after incoming mail arrives. In addition, stamps and money orders are sold through the Postal Clerk. The Sick Bay is operated by our Hospital Corpsmen, and serves as a combination doctors office, pharmacy, examining room and oper- ating room. Here the crew will find the cure for everything from the common cold to accidents requiring minor surgery. . 'LW ., CMJ H wg, DAY I53. 'bi ASW EXERCISE -AS DIVISION AS Division is made up of Sonarmen QSTI, ASROC Gunner's CGM! and Torpedomen fTM9. They are pri- marily responsible for SOUTHERLAND's antisubma- rine capability. The ST's maintain a constant watch on SONAR, the detection equipment which uses sound pulses as a means of detecting submerged submarines. Upon gaining Sonar contact they track it, classify it, and disseminate all available information to Com- bat lnformation Center and the Bridge. The ST's also man and operate the Underwater Battery Fire Con- trol System which releases the ASROC fAnti-sub- marine Rocketj and the surface torpedoes. The GM 's are responsible for the maintenance and operation of the ASROC system, performing maintenance, repair, and periodic tests on the system to ensure that it is operationally ready at all times. The TM's maintain the torpedo tubes and torpedoes, and assists the GM 's. 'I'he duties of all the members of AS Division overlap considerably which requires them to work as a close- knlt team at all times. DAY 155. . .TARGET PRACTICE 1 o During the transit home, personnel who pur- chased small arms while overseas held target prac- tice with their new rifles.
