F John Trippe was born in'1785 inDorchester County, Maryland. Little is known about his formal education, but his naval correspondence suggests thathe was well schooled in his youth. Trippe entered the Navy-on April 1799 and served aboard theffrigate UNITED STATES and the schooner EXPERIMENT as a midshipman. During the quasi-war with France, he participated in the Mediterranean campaign against the Barbary pirates while aboard the frigate PRESIDENT. ' In late 1803 the new construction schooner VIXEN, with Trippe as. acting Lieutenant, sailed for the Mediterranean to join Comrhodore. Pr.ebIe's American squadron. Upon VlXEN's arrival, Preble planned a direct attack on heavily defended Tripoli. The battle began in mid- afternoon as the American gunboats and bomb vessels advanced against the Tripolitans despite overwhelming armament arranged against them. August 3, 1804, commanded Gunboat No. 6 in an attack on Tripoli fthe first of a series of five by PrebeI's squadronj, was severely wounded and commended to the Department by Commodore Preble in his 'report as follows: I Lieutenant Trippe, of the VIXEN, in No. 6, ran alongside of one of the enemy's large boats, which he boarded, with only Midshipman John I D. Henley and nine men, his boat failing off before any mo.re could get on board, thus was he left compelled to conquer or perishwith the odds ' of thirty-six to eleven. The Turks could not' withstandthe ardour of this brave officer and his assistants - in a few minutes the decks were cleared and her colours hauled down. On board of this boat fourteen of the enemy were killed' and twenty-two made prisoners - seven of ewhich were badly wounded, the rest of their boats retreated wrighin the A rocks. Lieutenant Trippe received eleven sabre wounds, some Qgrwhich I very severe, he speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Henley rartgigthose who followed him. ' . ' Charles Coldsborough in the Naval ChronicIe says of this Qffigage- ment: ' ' A more remarkable action was probably never recorded. Thge com- mander ofthe enemy's gunboat was a remarkably athletic, gallant man, his height considerably exceeding six feet. Before he engaged ignf battle Pubnshed inthe - I ' he swore upon the Koran that he would conquer or die.

It is the meeting place of three continents . . . Europe Asia and Africa. The Mediterranean is distinctly the world s most international sea. Linked to two oceans the Mediterranean is actually an inland extension of the Atlantic but retains none of its characteristics. By contrast the Mediterranean is quieter shallower and warmer. In the East it is linked with the Indian Ocean by the Suez Canal but the lndian Ocean has no influence on the sea s equilibrium. However the canal gives the Mediterranean a renewed importance as a commercial waterway. In the northeast the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov are linked to the Mediterranean via the Bosphorous and the Dardanelles Strait. Extending from approximately five degrees West to approximately 36 degrees East the Mediterranean spans a distance of 2 300 miles. The northern shore is separated by 1 080 miles from the southern shore. It contains a total area of just less than a million square miles. Fifteen different languages are spoken along its shores and twenty nations have direct access to its waters. 4 The free use of the Mediterranean is a vital part of the defense of Western Europe. It is in this complex and volatile environment that the United States Sixth Fleet has operated for more than a quarter of a century. l 10 LIC , :oe , - - 351 me A Q 4 ' fl' - .

The first day was deceptively calm, but by the second, the real winter North Atlantic had reared its ugly head and we began to do some heavy rolling. We began to judge the weather by not how severe the rolling from side to side was, but by more common place things such as how many seconds you could leave a coffee cup unattended before it went sailing off into space. We soon became used to the rocking and rolling, and prepared to rendezvous with USS NIMITZ. Once join- ing the Carrier Battle Group, the remainder of the Atlantic crossing was a continuous series of activities to sharpen our sea-going and fighting abilities. It has long been a tradition in the Navy to write the new year's midwatch entry in the deck log in the form of a poem. QM1 Dewaard, QM3 Whelan, and LT Shane composed the following entry which more than aptly described our first few days underway with the Nimitz Battle Group. Today is the day we start the new year, the cooks served us pizza without any beer. The winds are high and the seas are rough, the job we set out on is going to be tough. We are crossing the pond, with the NIMITZ Battle Group, and enough ships out here to really mix up the soup, the bird 's in the barn, we won 't let it out, the drivers watch movies, on their faces a pout. Base course is set by COMCARGRU EIGHT, 1 14 true toward GibraIter's gate. Twenty knots is rung up, for our base speed, 4...gg.:2:E5:E:f:5:::g:g:-.f K7 1:kE:5:'5S:Q2:7:1:?:1:55:l:f:5:f:1. -:-121' 1:- ':t1 :5:1:1:5:i'1:1:1: - mc-'-Ei:-152:gzigzgz-zgizggz-1 Y:-fd-:k1:-:-:iz-:-5:-:5-:-:-:A if 5:1 352555252532121Z2i1E5E2EI7'E2E1E15E: Q.-if25:21I:T521:155:2215:f:3:5'2:2:5:2:E:g:2 12-9 32355541113353921351E1i1E:ErErE2Er:12- 5' xfgzzzigi21'h '4ft'5:1S2151551122:f:Q. 5:52 iff-57 ' ' :'5iE2:7:2:15: ' :iflfffli ol ' ,I ,' LC'-VI-1121.1-IQ-1'11.' .1-Till'-1-In1-11.1-2'--f'.j-1' '.'-'f3f':.2'5,Zful.'f-:.1fg'ff-2'-'.-,.,.

U.S.Nc1vol Stcition Roto, Spoin Gcitewciy to the Ivlediterroneon The Naval base of Rota, located on the Bay of Cadiz, is a joint Spanish American base over which flies the Spanish flag. Ground- work for mutual defense agreements and construction was laid in 1951. The U.S. has an initial 10-year lease on the base sites, subject to two 5-year extensions. Facilities includea naval air station, port facilities, magazine area, communications center, fleet weather central, overseas cargo terminal, and fuel depot, among others. Although the U.S. activities at Rota are under U.S. control, the area encompassing the naval base is under the command of a Spanish Rear Admiral Jefe De La Base Naval De Rota. South Carolina has taken the lead. ln NIMITZ, Sopa and OTC are COMCARGRU EIGHT, all plans have been laid, we will not be late. The ship 's watch is set at condition three, lt looks like it will be a long time at sea and for we think not we sail as a joke, the ship has been set at material condition yoke. The plant is steaming and running so strong, with one bravo boiler pushing us along. Number one afc, evaps one and two, are keeping things comfortable for all the crew. One alpha, one charlie SSTG 's provide us with power as we sail the seas. Fire pumps one and three are now on the line, just in case of emergency, they'll be ready in time. Attached to the rudder are the unit and cable, tonight it is starboard, with port willing and able. EMCON delta is set throughout the ship, Happy New Year to all, the crew of USS TRIPPE. So went this transit. With gunnery drills, shiphandling exercises, underway replenishments, and enumerable other activities, those 12 days passed quickly and on 11 January we detached from the group for a quick stop in Rota, Spain. 4-Q Q: rv vu ' J., in -:- Q5 Vejer - Running of the Bull Toro Embolado fmksggw-iii :-!c'zQ-,xf-?f-a- -L 1-pLjZ'.cl717ixgQ'hlG52f. - ri is-me - . 235. wi M K- 'we v - Med Cruise Blues?

The visit was primarily a working one, with many ship's personnel receiving briefings on Mediterranean logistics and standard operating procedures. This first visit was only the first of three. Later visits allowed us time to explore Spain and join in the Spanish festivities, such as the running of the bulls festival. We did not stay long in Rota and early on 14 January we left on our way to the Med. That afternoon we passed through the straits of Gibraltar Cbetween the Rock of Gibraltar and the mountains of Moroccoj and were officially welcomed to the Mediterranean Sea. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather. The Rock of Gibraltar and Mount Abyla, across the Strait, were known to the ancients as the Pillars of Hercules and marked the end of the known world until the days of the Phoenicians. The two are geologically identical, but the rock differs from any other land on the Spanish side, lending credence to the legend that Hercules split apart the land bridge once connecting the two to open a route from the Mediterranean to the Island of Atlantis. During WWI and WWII, the Rock was used to control access to the Med. THE BUFFALO NEWS JANUARY 31, 1987 James J. Kilpatrick Navy s Message To Gadhafi IN THE MEDITERRANEAN The little town of Au gusta lies somewhat south of Catania on the east coast of Sicily Relatively speaking it is not even picturesque Apart from its petroleum refineries it has nothing much to recommend it to anyone but on a recent Tuesday it served a splendid purpose for Vice Adm Kendall Moranville He wanted to send a message Specifically the admiral wanted to send a message to Libya s Col Gadhafi It was a message no man could fail witness the climactic visit to Augusta. It was an over- ' ex erience. Whfehreqlgegrriee Kennedy, commanded by Capt. John A, Moriarty, is a floating city inhabited by 6,000 officers and enlisted men. By The end Of the Week, they were 6 000 weary men. Over a span of three days, while afrcraft were being launched and recovered, Moriarty managed to get four hours of sleep. He was not alone.

Manta i4i.4r.3'hQ ,inf Geography: Egypt with a population of 42 million, is located in the northeastern corner of the African continent and is one of the oldest countries in the world. It is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, and on the west by Libya, on the south by the Sudan, and on the east by the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez, and the State of Israel. lt is slightly larger than California, Nevada and Arizona combined, but less than four percent of the land is inhabited, cultivated land, the rest is desert. Egypt is an almost rainless block of desert, consisting mainly of high plains and some rugged hills and mountains in the east along the valley of the Nile River. The country's existence depends almost exclusively on the Nile River, which rises in Ethiopia and Uganda and flows northward through the Sudan into Egypt, where it stretches almost 550 miles from Aswan to Cairo. if ,,4,?.V.. ,Wah ,gfpziwyeq , 177. 1 ' f . ,.

Alexandria is a city of four million people. It is the largest seaport on the African continent and the third largest in the Mediterranean. Water taxis and ship's boats were used to shuttle the crew between fleet landing and the ship. By now, most of you have received post cards or letters describing the tours, the sights, and the dust. All were im- pressive. Many of us enjoyed invitations to the homes of members of the local American com- munity. Finding desirable souvenirs was very easy in Alexandria. The merchants had set up their stands directly across the street from fleet landing. It was a mini bazaar. Purchasing the items for a reasonable price was a different story. Bargaining for a brass plate or kaftan could be a lengthy process depending on pa- tience, how badly we wanted the item and how much we were willing to pay. The true test of our bargaining ability came when we returned to the ship and found out how much our shipmates had paid for a similar item. We weighed anchor and led NIMITZ and SOCAR back to sea on 18 February for more readiness training. We finally parted company with NIMITZ on 23 February. About every three months all U.S. Navy ships participate in a maintenance availability in which we stand down for a week or two and get equipment fixed. Either a shore activity or a tender is assigned to provide dedicated assis- tance. We were assigned an availability out- board of USS PUGET SOUND in, just our luck, Alexandria, Egypt. This time we went into the harbor on 24 February where the SOUND was pierside and we were the third combatant out- board. This was the first time fires were secured in both boilers in 67 days. We were all Al- exandria veterans so the other crews sought our 1 t'il ' T ' f'-Q .Q W ...r -T-4--.anti-5.

Fortunately, we had paced ourselves during the first visit and there was still plenty to do and see. We also repaid the hospitality of the local Americans with a cookout on the flight deck. lt was a big hit since sliders, dawgs, and beans are hard to come by in Egypt. Tours were arranged for Cairo, Alexandria, and the WWII battlefield at El Alamein. By far the most popular tour was to Cairo. The itinerary included such sights as the Sphinx, the great Pyramids of Ghiza, the Egyptian National Mu- seum, a papyrus factory, Anwar Sadat's Tomb, and the Step Pyramid. The pyramids and King Tut's Treasure were definitely the highlights. The local camel jockeys that operated at Ghiza were a sly bunch. They offered to let us take their picture with the pyramids in the back- ground or to take our picture with their camel. The first words out of their mouth were, no money for me. After the pictures were taken, the entire mood of the camel owner changed. He demanded money, not for himself but for the camel. Another ploy was to let us sit on a camel for free. But then we either had to pay to get off or to ,iump 8-10 feet while the camel was in a gallop. Everyone paid. All in all the tours were a nice way to see some of Egypt's ancient history. For those who remained in Alexandria, daily excitement was provided by taxicab rides. Traf- fic lights, one way streets and lane dividing lines were advisory only and were usually ignored by the average Egyptian driver. The taxi drivers take pride in their aggressiveness and many could probably drive on the Grand Prix circuit. The most used piece of equipment on their automobiles is the horn. They honk at eve- rything and everyone. Horse drawn buggies also provided transportation for anyone interested in a more sedate mode of travel.

After departing Rota, Spain we spent a week of operations with Spanish, Italian and British forces in the vicinity of Gibraltar. On the 26th of April the ship made a one day port visit to Ceuta, Spanish North Africa for fuel. Leaving on the morning of the 27th, TRIPPE arrived in Rota for o I t t . 0 ' ' ' ' ur as s op n April 30th the TRIPPE departed forthe Central Mediterranean and a huge Nato exercise featuring Italian. and Turkish participants as well as the majority of the sixth fleet. On 20 May we came to Haifa, Israel for a maintenance availability outboard USS YELLOWSTONE. Long hours and diligent effort made this maintenance period a great success. Even with all of the work going on, though, time was still provided for recreation. A great majority of the officers and crew managed to take one or more of the tours available, which included such places of biblical fame as Jerusalem, Galilee, Capernaum, Nazareth and Bethlehem. The people of Israel gave us a great welcome and we made many friends. A major event that showed Israel's appreciation of our visit was a USO show which included folk dancing and a fashion show held on our flight deck. Some of Israel's top models displayed the latest in swim wear, making this a truly memorable experience.

It was 31 meters high and took almost twelve years to complete. It was counted among the seven wonders of the world.

The city of Rhodes has a population of 30,000. Rhodes was inhabited in prehistorical times by the Pelasgians and by colonists from Argos, who took an active part in the Trojan War. ln later years, after having vanquished the Phoenicians, the islanders ruled the adjacent seas. This su- premacy continued until the 7th century. When the Peloponnesian wars came, the Rhodians fought alongside the Athenians. In 280 B.C., the celebrated colossus is supposed to have been erected by the islanders in their capital city. Cassius, the Roman general, captured Rhodes in 42 B.C. Even then, its flour- ishing civilization did not disappear, for Rhodes remained a city of many schools and boasted of famous artists. Numbers of prominent Greeks and Romans, including emperors, officials, and intellectuals, came to live there. When Rome was divided, the Dodecannese Islands became part of the eastern or Byzantine Empire. Rhodes eventually shared all the misfortunes of the invasions of the Barbarians and the Franks. In 1306 it was sold to the Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem by its ruler, the Chief Admiral of the Byzantine Empire, a move which established its fortunes. Rhodes was made so firm a stronghold that it was able to resist the attacks of Mohammed ll, the conqueror of Constantinople. In 1522, however, it was obliged to surrender to Sulieman the Magnificent, but only after a 6 months siege that captured the imagination of all western Europe. Rhodes was occupied by the Turks until 1912, long after most of the Greek islands were free. ln that year, the Italians captured the Dodecanese from the Turks. The occupation, at first benevolent, became in the later years of facism, vain and tyrannical. The islands were not freed from this occupation until 1945 when the Germans, who had taken over from the Italians during the latter stages of the war, surrendered to Greek and British commandos. Rhodes and the Dodecanese were officially returned to Greece on 7 March 1948 under the Italian Peace Treaty. In any case, the islanders had always kept up their connection with their brethren in free Greece, they have the same buildings, dance the same dances, and with some regional differences, are an integral part of Aegean Greece. 33 wARDRooivi - use TRIPPE CFF-10755 , , nm!

One of the toughest conflicts fought underway in the Med is the Battle of the Bulge. TRIPPE has its own answer to television's 2O Minute Workout. Thirty Minute Workout led by the dynamic LTJG Rusty Bazemore and ENS John Gentle meets twice daily and has developed a considerable following. The weight machines, free weights and other athletic gear on board are also getting heavy usage. Some of us have even reconfirmed the fact that 18.5 laps around the flight deck is equal to one mile. Believe me, a couple of miles around the flight deck is both a physical accomplishment and a psychological victory for not having lost count. ln an effort to hone the mind as well as the body, many shipboard training programs have also been beefed up. Daily Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist lectures, organized by Command Master Chief Bob Rose, are being offered for those who wish to earn their silver cutlasses. Practical applications and demonstrations of all shipboard equipment and special details have greatly expanded, and personal qualification training is currently at its peak. The ship's library has also reopened after a thorough remodeling and a large, diverse selection of books is available. Of course, many other activities have also been going on. Several Pizza Nights have come and gone. The first Flight Deck cookout was held on 1 February with the Wardroom showing off their many gourmet skills. The TRIPPE Tones, BMSN Mark Harris, STG3 Michael Banks, SK2 Dean Bush, QMSN Will Sohocki, and LTJG Harold Chester made their first appearance of the cruise after a 15 month hiatus. The audience was appreciative. GMG1 Jeff Glazier, TM1 Rick Vega, and GMG2 Rob Scofield organized a very popular skeet shoot and YN1 Sonny Ceasar has been teaching the finer points of boxing. Through VHS tapes, we have seen the,NFL playoffs and even had an exclusive viewing of the Superbowl. No one wanted to bet on the outcome for some reason! Martin Luther King Day was celebrated with holiday routine. Rear Admiral Kelly, our battle group commander joined the crew one day for lunch on the mess decks. It was the usual fare, steak and shrimp. He rated the meal as outstanding. , bfi' WW I fy X 35 .. N 'WT ' 'ffpwm-d,, fawhm nv ' 3 ff' QM-M X Q61 w 53 ' A L - Q Q X x Ev X x 3. 3 .

A 1See 'Speak Out' photo 'feature pages I2 and I3 USS Trippe returns home after six-month deployment The Charleston-based frigate USS Trippe returned home from -a six-month Mediterranean deployment June 30. Trippe, commanded by Cmdr. Robert G. Allee, was the only Charleston ship in the battle group initially built around. USS Nimitz and later USS Kitty Hawk. Included were cruisers, destroyers, frigates and replenishment ships horneported in Virginia, Florida and New Jersey. Trippe left Charleston on December 30 and entered the Mediterranean in mid- January. She was a key par- ticipant in -the exercise Na- tional Weelr '87 which in- cluded unilis of the U.S. French and Italian navies. Trippe spent the next I month on patrol in thex eastern Mediterranean dur- ing theprecautionary build- up of U.S. naval forces which followed the seizure of four American hostages in Beirut, Lebanon. Later in the deployment, Trippe was one of 50 ships participating the the NATO exercise' ','Dragon Hammer. During her six months away from home, Trippe operated in all areas of the Mediterranean, conducting independent anti-submarine warfare operations and par- ticipating in two other multinational naval exer- cises. Trippe spent more days at sea than any of the 11 other ships which operated, with their battle group, according to a recent press release from the frigate. In the course of the deployment, Trippe mad4 port visits to Rota, Spain Alexandria, Egypt: Naples Italyg Ceuta, Spanish Nortl Africa: Haifa, Israel am Rhodes, Greece. The Rhodes visit markec only the second visit by z U.S. Navy ship in over 11 years.

As important, exciting, and fulfilling as well as difficult, long and exhausting as deployments can be, the best part will always be homecoming. The reunion of returning sailors with their families and friends is one of the most cheerful and moving experiences ever witnessed.

Yesterday afternoon we did an underway refueling with USS KALAMAZOO and were taking water over the bow and salt spray the length of the ship. As we maneuvered at a separation of 120 feet, KALAMAZOO's H-46 cargo held was delivering mail, soda and stores to our flight deck and a working party was kept busy striking it below, our lamps held ducked in and out occasionally, too. Of course, all of this was going on during the normally scheduled supper hour. By the time it was over, nearly the entire crew was either cold and wet or hot and sweaty and all had eaten late. But the men are amazing individuals. There were no complaints, plenty of grins, the mail was in, and their afternoon's experiences merely added to their growing bag of sea stories. For this is the stuff of adventure. And it was adventures like these that continued day and night until on 30 June 1987, Homecoming, the Mediterranean deployment finally drew to a close. May this cruise book serve to remind us of the numerous hours of strenuous labor, the dozens of sleepless nights rocking about, the intensity of operations always close to danger's web, the months apart from family, all in the call of duty in service to our nation in order that peace may reign, that those at home are safe and able to live a life with happiness. We now hold a rich experience that nevegwilq be adgquately described by pictures or copy in a cruise book. You can be proud of your discipline and professionalism. lt is to e onore .
