TOLOVANA was named for a river in the interior of the State of Alaska. The river is a tributary of the Tanana River which in turn is a tributary of the Mighty Yukon River. The United States Geodetic Survey crew originally named the river Nilkoka in 1896. ln 1903, the U.S. Signal Corps named the river and the village near its mouth Tolavana after the Tanana Indian name for the river. The name was soon modified to Tolovana to fit pronunciation. Tolovana village is located about 45 miles west of Fairbanks. For many years the village numbered about 1000 persons and was a maior refueling stop for wood burning steamers. Of late the population has declined to about thirteen. The Honorable Walter J. Hickel, Governor of the State of Alaska, was good enough to furnish the above historical infor- mation and a flag of Alaska. TOLOVANA proudly flies that flag during all underway replenishment operations and is happy to consider the citizens of Tolovana Village honorary members of her crew. On 17 October 1967 TOLOVANA and her crew said farewell to Long Beach and our loved ones. The TOLOVANA headed for the warm and often hostile waters of the South China Sea and the cold and turbulent waters of the Sea of Japan. We were deployed for a period of 219 days. During our deployment TOLOVANA conducted 312 replen- ishments at sea. We operated with ships of four nations varying in size from U.S.S. GANNET lMSC-280,145 feetl to U.S.S. KITTY HAWK lCVA-63,1046 feetl. The ship made several runs to the Market Time operating area, the DMZ and Yankee Station in the Tonkin Gulf. ln addition to serving the allied forces in Viet Nam, TOLOVANA played an important role in the Sea of Japan during the Pueblo Crisis. Out of the 219 days we were away from Long Beach we spent 58 days in the following ports, Pearl Harbor, Subic Bay, KaoHsiung, Yokosuka, Sasebo, and Hong Kong. The remaining part of our time was spent at sea either in transit to and from station or on station pro- viding services. During the seven months TOLOVANA was deployed she pumped 676,800 barrels of Navy Special Fuel Oil at a cost of S1,685,232, 164,000 barrels of JP-5 at a cost of ilS874,776, and 10,000 barrels of aviation gasoline at a cost of 571,400 After one swing through the Market Time areas TOLOVANA became attuned to the needs peculiar to the small boys operating for extended periods of time'on patrol. Combining experience with imagination TOLOVANA helped pioneer the concept of The Complete Unrep . Besides pumping fuel we transferred bottled gases, fleet freight, passengers, U.S. mail, fresh vegetables, ice cream, bread, potatoes and ammunition. We also rendered such extras as photographs of each ship taken before and delivered during the UNREP, copies of the ship's daily news- a er lTOLO TALESJ replacement navigational charts, potable and make-up feed water, and sales from TOLO- P P f VANA's post office, ship's store, and small stores. As often as possible we also supplied our customer ships with music from the TOLO TIGER Band. fTOLOVANA's exploits we would li e you o Ioin , k t ' ' us on a short pictorial cruise meet Now that we have told you o our crew and re-visit TOL OVANA's ports of call with us.

Engineering Dennrfnnfnf The snipes as the many talented members of the Engineering Department are often called, maintain and operate the main propulsion plant and other machinery vital to TOLOVANA. There are pumps and vvinches to repair, throttles andgenerators to man, and fuel and water to pump. The boilers need constant attention. The logs must be faithfully kept. Lighting, water, cooling and heating systems cannot be suffered to fail. Near miracles of repair work are occasionally performed. Machinery, laundry presses, steam lines, pumps, lighting, any of these may break down at any hour of the day or night. What ever happens our machinery is never out of com- mission for long because the engineers are always on the job. In port or underway work and the watch continue. Underway, the temperature in the engine room may reach T30 degrees, but the watch goes on. Winter in Japan brings snow and bitter cold, but the watch and work go on, on deck and below. Steam goes through lines rarely used and antifreeze goes in the boats. The best escape from the cold is the engine room, now a cool 80 degrees. In port, many hours after the rest of the crew has gone on liberty the engineers are still aboard loading fuel and bringing Mighty T machinery up to standards so that she can continue to carry out her mis- sion in the highest tradition of the Naval Service. The price of good service to the fighting ships of the fleet is careful planning and long hours of work, the weariness of little sleep, the frustra- tion of balky equipment, and always the watch, but the can-do attitude of the men of Engi- neering contributes much to the fine performance of the Mighty T.

These two rates function as a well coordinated team during all liquid cargo evolutions. They are responsible for the transfer, pumping, and receiving of all the cargo fuel that TOLOVANA carries.

Deek Department Aboard the Mighty T the men of the Deck Department play a vital part in enabling TOLOVANA to carry out her mission as a Fleet Oiler. The men of deck are the Tigers seen on deck handling lines when the ship is mooring, or getting underway, operating winches and rigging highlines for long hours at a time during replenishment operations. On days when there are no replenish- ments, or when the ship is in port, these are the men who keep TOLOVANA looking sharp by many long, tedious, hours of cleaning, painting, and scrubbing throughout the ship. They keep the refueling rigs in good working order, the ship's boats seaworthy and well equipped, and aside from all this, the men in the Deck Department are responsible for the care and mainte- nance of the ship's general tools, her paint stores, the ship's running and standing rigging, and other large and small iobs that are too numerous to mention. These men also stand underway and in port watches on the bridge and quarterdeck as lookouts, helmsmen, and Petty Officers of the watch. The men of Third Division are responsible for TOLOVANA's weapons, including her four 3 gun mounts, rifles, pistols, and other small arms. The men of this division play an initial part in the ship's replenishment detail by getting the first lines across to a ship alongside through the use of shot line throwing guns, For all of these men, the long, hard and dreary hours spent in the work they do pay off in the satisfaction of knowing that their ship is always sharp looking and always ready for another replenishment. 9ir I Division FRONT ROW: SN Granderson, BMSN Kinnaird, BMSN Brennan, SN Glenn, SN Hoffman, SN Hanlon.
