TWV if 3 SHIP'S HISTORY AND MISSION The USS TANNER KAGS-155 is an old and a proud ship. She began her life as the USS PAMINA fAKA-34l when she was launched at the Kaiser-Walsh Shipyard in Providence, Rhode Island on 5 January 1945. She then served with the Pacific Fleet from April 1945 until January 1946. Since World War II was then over and the need for cargo ships was not as great, the PAMINA was sent to Norfolk, Virginia for conversion at the Naval Shipyard to a Hydrographic ship. ln Septem- ber 1946, the PAMINA was recommissioned and named in honor of the late Lera Luther Tanner, Cap- tain, U.S. Navy C1835-1906l, an authority on oceanography and the inventor of an early type of sounding equipment. - Since her conversion the TANNER has seen the four corners of the globe on her many survey missions. Four cruises each were made to the Bahama Islands, to Labrador and New Foundland, and to the Eastern Mediterranean. In 1959-1961, TANNER' conducted two hydrographic surveys in the Persian 'Gulf area. And in the summers of 1962 and 1963 she conducted extensive surveys in the Barents Sea. Sandwiched in between these was a hydrogra hic survey in the Florida Straits. The primary mission of the TANNER is to gather hydiographic and oceanographic data. Hydro- graphic data is used, in the construction of up to date charts which enable mariners to navigate in safety as they sail the sea lanes of the world. Oceanographic data is valuable in the exploration of the frontier beneath the sea and its possible future use to a now comparatively land-bound people. The operation of a survey ship is both complex and demanding. The TANNER often uses heli- copter and marine detachments to carry out her various missions. ln addition there are four fifty- two soundboats, four landing craft, two motorboats, and many thousands of dollars worth'-of electron- ic equipment. All of these are used, at times, to gather information that is eventuallygsent on to Washington for evaluation and publication. -.- 9 TANNER is also a logistic ship. Since she operates independently most ofthe time,,she must be relatively self-sufficient, capable of carrying out long and involved missions in the far-flung and, often, desolate areas of the world. - N A ei CAPTAIN STANLEY N. OHLIN Commanding Officer Captain Stanley Nelson Ohlin was born 7 November 1919 in Belmont, Massachusetts. He attended the Massachusetts Schoolship, USS NANTUCKET, where he earned a degree in Navigation and Sea- manship. Before entering the Navy in 1940, Captain Ohlin served for a short period of time in the Merchant Marine. Before coming to the TANNER, Captain Ohlin had a variety of duties. After serving as Cargo, Communications, and Gunnery Officer on the USS WM. WARD BURROWS CAP-63 he served for eighteen months on the USS ALNITAH CAKA-1277 as Navigation and Executive Officer. The USS GEMINI CAP-753 was his first command, and after that he served on the USS CABILDO ILSD-165. Then followed a period of shore duty with the Sub Board of Inspection and Survey in Norfolk, Vir- ginia. From there he went to sea again as Executive Officer pf the USS ROCKBHIDGE KAPA-2285. His next assignment was in the Office of Naval Material, Washington, D.C. His most recent tour of duty before reporting to the TANNER was as Assistant Chief of Staff to the Commandant, Third Naval District.. i Captain Ohlin wears the Legion of Merit, the Naval Reserve Medal, the American Defense Medal with clasp, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, Victory Medal- World War II, and the National Defense Service Medal. Captain OHLIN is married to ,lane Knee Edwardsl of Piedmont, California. They have four children: Barbara Jane, Charles Edward, Henry Nelson, and Mrs. Carol Mac Donald. COMMANDER WILLARD C. DOE Executive O fiicet Commander Willard C. DOE, a native of New Jersey and a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Class of 1947 reported to the TANNER for duty in December 1962. Prior to reporting to TANNER Commander DOE was attached to Staff, COMCHUDES FLOT Four as Assistant Project Mercury Officer. While attached to Staff, COMCRUDES FLOT Four Commander DOE was commended by Admiral H. L. DENNISON, CINCLANTFLT for his participation in Project Mercury. Commander DOE has had a varied Naval Career with duty principally in destroyer type vessels. He has served in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations and as an instructor at the New York Maritime College, where in addition to instructor duties he coached the Varsity Pistol Team. H Commander DOE is authorized to wear the following decorations: American Campaign Medal WW II Victory Medal, Navy Occupation Service Medal lAsia Clasp 81 Europe Claspl, China Service, Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Expert Pistol Medal. Commander DOE's wife and son presently reside in Norfolk, Virginia. 5 V i 5, i r P i P 1 l I LT ANDERSON OCEANOGRAPHIC LTJ G BRANN DECK LT MORLEY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT HEADS 3,1 ,J-1193?

Yet through the Chaplain and the Lay Leaders the attempt to do so is made. Chaplain BRINK serves as the co- ordinator of, and advisor on, all matters concerning the moral and spirtual welfare of the ship's company. He also conducts allofthe Protestant Services thatare held on board the ship. LT Hugh THEANOR, the Roman Catholic Lay Leader, and ENS Donald lVlOSKOWlTZ, the Jewish Lay Leader, at- tempt to provide for the specific needs of these two groups. While at sea, Dr. TREANOR leads the informal Roman Catholic Service every Sunday morning. ln port he is generally able to arrange for the services of a priest on board or for a Church party to attend services at some local parish. For example, while in Nor- way, arrangements were made for a special Mass to be conducted at the Cathedral by Bishop of Northern Norway. While regular Sabbath Services are not held for the Jewish personnel, ENS MOSKOWITZ does make arrangements for these men while we are in port. While in Scotland some of the men were enabled to attend the Rosh Hasonnah service in Edinburg. 3- LAY LEADERS 7 Q X x l Deckp A 1 N Q l Silk li ' E 5 fi? f hx K 1? n x wk v X X in .

It is almost impossible to fully describle the work of this Division. Carpenters, Welders Plumbers, and Damage Controlmen on hand to do just about any job that has to be done. If no one, else can do something, they will. Many of those menial tasks which make life easier to live fall to them, but they are also capable of carrying out such major operations as the construction ofan ocean station platform, the building of planking for the Bridge Deck, or putting in new hatches in the Light Lockers. 2, R x , --. , ........-,..., 7 N --1-..

This is one of the busiest divisions on the TANNER. It is responsible for all the electrical equipment from the anchor windlass on the forecastle to the running lights astern. Interior communi- also fall into their realm of responsibility. Someone from this division can be found anywhere doing such diverse things as manning the throttle underway or showing a movie to the crew. Without the men of this division many of the necessities and comforts of life would soon be lost. QPU :QQ QL fF,,.

They provide for the personal needs of the ship's company with suchfthings as food, pay, laundry service, haircuts, clothing, refreshments at the soda fountain, and with the multitude of things available from the Ship's Store. They also provide for the ship itself as they stock everything that the other departments will need to continue their work.

This cruise has seen much activity in the Medical Department. Aside from the endless run of colds, cuts, sprains, and fractures there have been two emergency appendectomies and several other more minor operations. The smallest Division, consisting of the Dentist and his Technician, is just about the busiest on the ship. With over three hundred men on board they have found the time to check over everyone at least once and have done much drilling and filling besides. With these men we always feel safe and sure that no matter what the physical problems, they will be handled with speed' and efficiency at all times.

We spent close to a month there, and although this was not considereda liberty port the fine hospitality shown us by the Royal Navy and the people of Scotland made our stay there quite comfortable and very enjoyable. Way up there beyond the Arctic Circle in the supposedly frigid unorthlandn we found an ex- tremely warm-hearted people. Our second port of call was Tromso, Norway.

This afforded the opportunity for the old hands to have sport with the unknowing Red Noses . And thus it was, on that fateful day, that Boreas Rex and his loyal court paid a visit to the ship in order to prepare us to endure the rigors of the Frozen North . After a day in the King's Court we were sure that the worst was behind us and that we could look forwardxto much better things. After all, what could be worse than that sublime Royal'North Tonic .

K S BEARDS Shortly after leaving Rosyth for our operation in the Barents Sea, an edict banning the use of the razor was promulgated and, as was reported in the Mainmast , the ship soon took on the appearance of a veritable frontier town with fuzz and scraggly beards of assorted shapes and sizes to be seen all over the place.

And with them there always comes that mixed feeling - the desire to go, to do the new work, etc., and, at the same time, the desire to stay among the old friends and companions. Such was the case with LTJG Bernard Scarlett. Such was also the similar feeling of his Division. And so, on an evening before getting back into Rosyth for the second time, M Division held a surprise going away party for Mr. Scarlett. It was short and to the point, but it gave them the opportunity to express their feelings for their Boss. l MR. BRANN'S BIRDS It would seem that among every ship's company there should be a naturalist for wherever we go there are all sorts of inter- resting things to behold, and there is always the off-chance of making some startling discovery to shake the scientific world. For instance, who has ever heard of penguins living in the Arctic? Yet who can dispute this picture?
