History 3 Si? 53 , USS STARK FF -311 lVI'ssion and Histor SS STARK CFFG-315 was launched on May 30, 1982 and commissioned October 23, 1982 in Seattle, Washington. STARK is the twenty-fifth of fifty-tive Oliver Hazard Perry class Guided Missile Frigates, the largest class of ships since World War I1. STARK was named for the former Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Harold R. Stark. The ship is the result of a careful plan to provide a portion of the in-depth protection required for military and merchant shipping, amphibious task forces and underway logistics groups. In executing this mission, STARK will help meet our nation's far-ranging international commitments and keep the vital sea lanes open. In order to ensure a large class of capable yet relatively inexpensive ships, many innovative concepts are incorporated into her design. Some of these concepts include modular construction techniques and the utilization of numerous labor-saving devices toreduce the number of personnel required to operate the ship. STARK also incorporates many improvements in habitability, including lounge areas for the crew and improved messing facilities. 1 In today's combat environment, the ability to respond rapidly and effectively is the key to success. All of S'I'ARK's systems are designed to meet this important requirement. The propulsion system is a computer- controlled gas turbine power plant with engines similar to those found on the Air Force C5A strategic transport and the civilian DC 10 jetliners. STARK'S propulsion system can be brought 'on line' and made ready in less than one-eighth the time required for a conventional steam or nuclear poweredship.

THE VOYAGE. . . UNITAS is a Spanish word translated to mean united So is named the four and a half month deployment to over eight South American countries requiring complete cir- cumnavigation of the continent. Begun in 1959, the cruise originated as a relations- building campaign involving a small number of Navy surface warships. Since it has evolved into a large complex training exercise to include nine phases of operations combining all assets of various South American navies. Each phase consists of anti- surface, air and submarine exercises amid the myriad of other less significan yet tasking drills and operations. A pleasure cruise this was not, and it shall be remember for what it Was. However, let the few pictures and memoirs in the following pages help you recall the fun and comradery experienced by all during UNITAS 34, aboard USS STARK CFFG-311.
