Crewmembers arrived early to have a few moments to say proper goodbyes to families and friends before boarding. It would be seven months before they would be together again. Others were perhaps looking forward to the things they would see and the new friends they would meet during the long WESTPAC that lay ahead. Many had seen previous cruises, others had not. However, it is doubtful that anyone Z , BID there didn't have his own anxious thoughts about the months that remained in front of them. After everyone was aboard, it was apparent that the previous months of training had paid off. Both the crewmembers manning the rail and their ship, looked every bit ready for sea. As the last line went over and TRUXTUN started her journey out of the harbor, families and friends watched from the pier, some with envy. The men and their ship were off to add new experiences to their lives. f f QQ' 'wmv XXX ff WM . . . M, .Ar rggmbgbfeuwa-,,.q.Gr.l.mop A- - A- ev-u -m-A-lvl-Q-1+ W Hawaii, the first step in a long transit overseas, was a welcome sight after more than two weeks at sea. Many crewmembers took advantage of the Island's natural beauty to spend their time taking pictures. Others enjoyed the thriving night life, and some just relaxed in the warm sunshine that makes Hawaii famous. There were tours available that allowed people to see many historical landmarks and monuments. The tours covered many areas of the island of Oahu, including tours of Pearl Harbor where you could see the memorials of World War II, the Pali Mountains, the only Palace in the United States, and many museums that can be found on the TRUXTU A MOME T AIR DET A D BOARD After three days of 'rest and relaxationi' however, it was time to get underway once again. The ship and her crew made their way out of Pearl Harbor and back into the wide Pacific. One necessary addition to TRUXTUN was completed, the LAMPS helo and air det were embarked From now until TRUXTUN returned to Hawaii, a full array of ASW equipment was on board. island. PAUSES FOR I PARADI E HELD CGME FOR E TPAC Many a sailor has found memories of soft breezes, There were plenty of native Hawaiin girls in hula skirts to greet the TRUXTUN sailors where ever they went. The Cultural Center on the North Shore, gives you a look into Hawaii's past, the way they dressed, how they lived, worked and played. swaying palm trees, pounding surf, soft moon light, lovely maidens, lots of good food and a few Mai Tai's to be a healing balm for later times of long sea periods.

For some it was a reunion with old friends, for others it was their first visit to a foreign port. Subic was not a sightseeing port, it was a time for making repairs, bringing on supplies, and general upkeep of the ship. Of course it was not all work, there were plenty of night clubs, to visit in the evenings, offering a variety of entertainment. On weekends there were sports events, beaches, trips and lots of shopping to keep the off duty sailor busy. Upon our arrival at Subic a very interesting lecture was presented by the Naval Station Security Officer about what to watch out for when in town on liberty. The city of Olongapo was off limits from 0100 to 0400 to all personnel, but most of us managed to have a good time in spite of the curfew. FRUM HGME AWA HUME -um- A few sailors along with the ship's Chaplain did take some time to help paint out one of the schools during this inport period. Thus showing the hidden talents of some TRUXTUN sailors. 1 ,if .s..1-Q-M14 -,-.. PI E PHILIP TH AY: IC B UB 4' lg? 4 'fin A ,.,,f-A-. Subic is every WESTPAC sailor's home away from home. Those who had been here before knew about its tropical climate and friendly people. Those who hadn't, were in for a pleasant surprise. They would learn why it is not uncommon to carry an umbrella in broad daylight, and would learn the ins and outs of life in Olongapo and the Philippines. For the more adventuresome, there were excursions to Manila and the beautiful hamlet of Baguio for sightseeing. Perhaps the people and the republic were not enough to take away painful homesickness, but they had the ability to ease the sting somewhat. As we pulled out for the last time, many could not help but feel reluctant and look forward to the next trip to this wonderful place. TRUXTUN ARRI E I H0 KO Hong Kong was our second Port of Call in the Western Pacific. A truely remarkable city, under British influence, it is a blend of the Eastern and Western Cultures. TRUXTUN anchored out in this port, along with the big E , and a 45 minute ride by boat was required to arrive at fleet landing. There was plenty to see and do in this city, with its double decker buses, sam pans, junks, hydrofoils, trams, etc., the large bank buildings with their huge carved lions to guard them the floating restaurants the Tiger Balm Gardens the many shops theaters Cwlth chmese sub t1tl8S, night clubs hotels and book stalls There was food of all kinds to be enjoyed whatever the taste Almost anyth1ng could be purchased in Hong Kong Although more expensive than what some of us remember from previous crulses It was st1ll a good bargaln place for clothes and shoes Hong Kong always a grow1ng clty coloney IS more modern lookmg today than ever before TRUXTUN sa1lors spent a lot of money 1n this port as thls was really our flrst blg port V1S1t on thls cruise There were a lot of tours offered lots of film was expended and lots of worn out shoes Our V1S1t was made even more enjoyable by the almost perfect weather that prevailed TRUXTUN sa1lors w1ll long remember thelr port VlS1t of thls truely beautlful port city of HONG KONG 7 7 7 7 7 7 ' 7 . . . . . 7 7 7 7 7 . . J, .. . HARBGR IGHT Even at night Hong Kong casts a magic spell with its vast array of lights to be seen from the harbor. The city comes more to life than ever as the lights go on. There are many night clubs to visit, as well as the cocktail bars. There is of course the stark reality of the life styles apparent as in the contrast of a fishing village with that of the city seen from a top a lookout point.

The area is large, with almost no support facilitiesg therefore, the task group must be even more self-sufficient than normal. With the resulting extended periods at sea, the welfare of the crew is very important. TRUXTUN is outfitted with recreational equipment used by many members of the crew at one time or another. Each evening, the messdecks is transformed into a recreation room where one can go to play table-games, watch television QTRUXTUN is equipped with closed circuit TV systeml or just sit, write letters, and talk with friends. The ship is also equipped with a gym that has weight-lifting equipment readily available. Other activities on board TRUXTUN include skeet-shooting, jogging and the ever popular flight deck cook-outs. There was also a chance to get in some sunbathing as the Indian Ocean is mostly warm sunny days when there were no typhoons. We had the privilege of viewing the big E up close while she was performing flight operations, which for many was a picture that won't soon fade. We look on lots of supplies during this sea period, to replace those which had been consumed. The Indian Ocean gave us a chance to see her many moods, from the very calm seas to her not so calm seas, viewing the very beautiful sunrises and sunsets, of seeing the rains that would come up fast and were gone just as quickly. lt was a chance to catch up on work that couldn't be done in port. There was the excitment of the crew in preparing for the crossing of the line and meeting King Neptune and his royal court. Time went quickly even if it was a long sea period. A . -rg-.

Colombo, Sri Lanka was our third port of call in the Western Pacific, as in Hong Kong we anchored out. The boat ride was almost as long, but the trip was Worth it. Sri Lanka is an ancient country which is recorded in history as far back as 543 B.C. The Greeks and Romans had embassys. The island was so important that the Portuguese occupied Sri Lanka for over one hundred years. The Dutch then overthrew the Portuguese and occupied Sri Lanka for over another hundred years. It was then controlled by the British until 1947 when it became independent. Sri Lanka was called Ceylon during its British domination. As Sri Lanka was controlled by India longer than any other country, you igetthe impression that you are in India while visiting this island. There were plenty of snake charmers to greet you and the local dress was typical of India. TRUXTUN sailors spent plenty of money here buying semi-precious stones at great discounts. F PET CUBRA ANYO E? Colombo was a scenic port and lots of photos were taken of the colorful sights. The weather was again good to us, but the winds did freshen slightly to cause boating to be a bit rough. The American Embassy staff came on board to purchase items of necessity that could not be purchased in Sri Lanka and found it a bit difficult to board in the choppy waves.

Perhaps less from boredom than from fear of the unknown was born the ancient ceremony we know as CROSSING THE LINE. ln today's Navy, the boatswain's art fades, scrim-shaw is found more often on a seaman's plast.ic coffee cup, yet the ancient maritime superstitions prevail. Replete with its rogue's gallery of mythological deities from the depths of the Seven Seas, this fanciful initiation is still reverently observed and to those fortunates who witness it, such a ceremony is quite miraculous to behold! 4 A aagsreesagraaagf.:f.a.f:ii22f,11x.f'-i4auf6i-aifi3'fg:'..,f...'1fi'-.missin-fp. 1s.es,,:..,-+,l.,4.,:sf.:,3,9av.z.f.afmts1,s.:aL4 .NL 1:1-fs, 'Q A SHELLBACK... Sailing below the Equator, TRUXTUN dared t0 enter the fabled realm of NEPTUNIUS REX, RULER OF THE DEEP. To assure safe passage for the remainder of the cruise, atonement for this crime was required fr0II1 those slimy pollywogs who had not previously sw0I'H loyalty to His Royal Highness in the presence of the Royal Court. Before day's end, these scoff-laws made their obeisance. After a torturous, corkscrew path to the flight-deck, braving perils designed by the faithful to break down even the heartiest resistance, the slimy WOS initiates found a most interesting metamorphosis had taken place.

TRUXTUN sailors found the people very friendly and ready to share their warm hospitality, read to bend the elbow, whether in the home ofa Dial-A-Sailor family or manning the railsl' for a draught of ale and a game of darts at the local pub. We found ourselves caroming from one point of interst to another with our mates in the Aussie Navy, far and away the most cordial hosts we encountered in any port of the cruise. Coming at the end of some rough sailing in the Indian Ocean, Western Australia seemed almost like home. 'l'he downtown Perth area was a bit unique, though. ln contrast to the modern skyscrapers, nested in between blocks of industrial monoliths we found remnants of Victorian architecture, marble-columned buildings looming imperiously. Their bleached edifices bear witness to the climate- almost perpetual sunshine. - T Y .y.nw,- K Y . . . , . M is Wa...

Perth grew and flourished for a few years until the gold gave out, then flike their American cousins in the California and Alaska Gold Rush daysl a number of boom towns became ghost towns. Shortly after the depletion of the prospecting hordes, wheat became the principle commodity of Western Australia. Present-day Perth is the center of the Australian mining industry. Iron, nickel, aluminum, and zinc are refined here. ,. l......

From there, sailors went throughout the city sampling the sights and the exposure to the people of this exotic city. The sights ranged from the bizzare Tiger Balm Gardens to the quiet solitude of a neighborhood temple and flower garden. The city also provided a prime opportunity for shopping as many empty wallets attested upon our departure. .

Pusan is an inviting port for U.S. sailors with a bustling harbor and a modern city offering goods from the familiarto the oriental exotic. A 15 minute boat ride in a Korean Army landing craft delivered TRUXTUN crewmembers from their anchorage to the quay wall of the city. Many took advantage of the garment factories to purchase sweaters and coats for themselves, friends, and family. Although startlingly familiar in some respects the presence of troops throughout the city and the evening curfew reminded us that we were a long way from home. Our new chaplain , CDR Stanhope, joined us in Pusan, coming aboard on the last tug prior to departure.

An accident occured aboard the Colorado and a man had to be medivaed by Truxton into helicopter range from Hawaii. The next call for assistance came from a sinking lumber carrier in the Straights of San Bernardino off the tip of Luzon. Truxtun helped locate two missing passengers from the sunken vessel and administered medical aid to those requiring it. In the South China Sea, Truxtun found a boatload of Vietnamese refugees and carried them to the Philippines after efforts to repair their boat failed. They had been adrift 14 days and without water '4 days. A burial- at-sea was held for one of the refugees who had died. The final call for assistance came from the Monrovian tanker Prima with a very ill crewmember. Truxtun responded to their call for help and rendered medical aid. g .s 1, .1 . igirg t,s't' e ' W ,. .,k,. . -as Imax Xiii iw XLJV I iifwiii 'J jif.s.,,svag.s'Quiz-W i'.9f:' - A 'f w- '-1-.-gy:-1-'qw cyrrfw- :gpg-gif ,.:c,,,,.q-...1,,,,, R,-....-.1-,1,,,,fpmq,-,1-W,-.:..5-.-Q-1 ..-3.4.-S-.P-W, ::yg5-g.g-gf.,-,,.,5f V-Q-p-A:-1:4-Q-w-v-'F REL J EL.

The five-day trip was especially interesting to those Tigers Who had never been on a ship such as Truxtun before. During the five-day period the Tigers were kept extremely busy while they toured various divisional spaces and observed special General Quartersv drills and gun firing exercises. When the ship finally reached San Diego on 27 October 1978, the Tigers were probably some of the only people aboard who were not that eager to disimbark. . V , ' ' - ,M r '- - -m1?

He acts as Chairman of the Professional Development Board, and this is what Senior Chief John Cochran Jr. worked hardest at during West-Pac 78. He always encouraged all crew members to advance as far as possible. As Chairman of the Human Relations Council he made sure that life on TRUXTUN was as good as possible, and always stressed the need for im- provement. In addition, Senior Chief Cochran served as an aide to the Career Counselor and as liaison to the Wives Ombudsman to ensure that the Navy Wives Club was always kept up-to-date on the ship's schedule and pending events. He was a member of the Welfare and Recreation Committee and the Disciplinary Investigation Board. Perhaps the most important function he fulfilled however, was that of a direct link between enlisted personnel and those at the command level. i I fa xl ill m 5 ii E s Q ,..v,.Mf,-f ...,-kin... rv, . ,N V :..,,.,u,-. -fn ' ,A ' Y , --I'-Q34-N, , . ' Air Detachment ACHI MANY P RPUSES , fl? During WESTPAC 78, TRUXTUN'S air department proved itself useful for many purposes. In addition to fulfilling its mission of Anti-Submarine Warfare training, HSL-37 participated in TRUXTUN's rescue missions, personnel and equipment transfers, and mail deliveries. The men of HSL-37 recorded over 500 hours of flight time which gave them a new record to be proud of. Much of the time was spent searching for and locating various submarines. By sometimes working around- the-clock, TRUXTUN's air department recorded more subs during the WESTPAC than all of the ENTERPRISE squadrons combined. In addition to normal duties, the air department Worked hard to transfer personnel to and from TRUXTUN and made many patrols to survey areas for any foreign craft. Sometimes it was even necessary for HSL-37 to send the LAMPS helicopter on mail runs to insure prompt delivery to TRUXTUN crewmembers. .,,,.E .,,,,,,.,.Y,-- W- , .fV...,.T,..-...,..,mn':-fl' - --' 'rr--,.

EC Division is composed of two rating groups: Data Systems Technicians and Interior Communications Electricians. The DS rating is one of the most challenging Navy ratings. The number of strikers for this rating is on the upswing. With the growing use of the N TDS fNavy Tactical Data Systemj as an integral, vital link in the command weapons chain, Data Systems Techs are a crucial element. Data Systems Technicians maintain electronic digital data systems and equipment. They inspect, test, calibrate, and repair computers, video processors, tape units, buffer equipment, digital display equipment, data-link transmitting and receiving equipment, input-output devices, and related equipments. Data Systems Technicians are included on Truxtun to provide on-the-spot, instantaneous repairs and programming as the occasion arises. They also inspect and maintain their own test equipment. The ship's Interior Communications Electricians perform maintenance and repair on the phone circuits used to carry information between the various control and command centers. IC-men are responsible for the periodic testing and repair of the ship's alarms, ship's control, gyrocompasses, and plotters.

The current Operations Officer, LCDR Heitzman, relieved LCDR Hallett early -in the cruise when LCDR Hallett moved to the Chief Engineer billett. The Operations Officers include LT Bagley, Combat Information Center Officer and principle assistant, Lt. Combs, lst Lieutenant, LT Davis, OC Division Officer and Communicator, and LTJ G Moody, OI Division Officer. -- -r- , ..- -- --v--,-Y u-ev -1: 1-nazi, Operational Intelligence COD Division performs the difficult task of collecting the information available to the ship from various sources, evaluating this information and passing it along to the Officer of the Deck or the Captain, with a recommendation. There are many facets of the smoothly operating combat direction center and the bustle of activity includes such diverse jobs as aircraft controller, radar tracker, radio talker, gunfire support coordinator, anti-submarine coordinator, search and rescue coordina- tion, and various record keepers and communicators. No matter what type of operation TRUXTUN is involved in, the Ol Division personnel play a vital role by insuring the needed information is available and the proper response to any situation is at their finger tips. . , V , , . . , .

FIR T DI I IO First Division is composed of thirty to forty men charged with the upkeep and preservation of the ship's hull and superstructure. They maintain and operate the ship's boats and all ground tackle ianchors, mooring, lines, mooring cables, towing hawsers, and all associated blocks, chocks, and pullies.l Theirs is the job of the sailor , rigging lines and maintaining the appearance of the TRUXTUN. When a man comes aboard ship, and he has no training in one of the specialized skills required by the Navy, he is sent to First Division to learn of the many requirements peculiar to the Navy. He will stand watches as lookout, helmsman, lee helmsman, status board keeper, and sound powered phone operator. He will learn the skills necessary to carry out such complicated ship board evolutions as underway replenishment, anchoring, towing, and mooring to a bouy. First Division is a manpower pool for TRUXTUN and as openings occur in other divisions throughout the ship, men who desire further training or different types of jobs move from the deck rating to other work centers. Many elect to stay in First Division, preferring to work in the open with sunshine, salt spray, an open deck, and the satisfaction of a hard job done well.

Theirs is the interesting and challenging job of visual communications with other ships. They use flashing lights, semaphore, signal flags and on occasion flares to perform their task. They are also experts in identification of other vessels and keep the officer of the deck informed of all contacts within visual range. They help maintain many naval traditions through the observance of proper naval courtesies and protocol.

Through their efforts in maintaining the message traffic with the shore, TRUXTUN is effectively a Unit of the Seventh Fleet, rather than a ship operating alone. From the ghostly voice of the sattelite secure calling HNAVCAMSWEST-PAC to the scratchy static of the ship's boat's portable radios, the Radiomen insure that TRUXTUN is a tactical and strategic unit of the U.S. Navy.

The regular three meals a day, mid-rats , and the special meals like PIZZA NIGHT and flight-deck cookouts are big crew morale factors. TRUXTUN MS's were quite successful during the deployment, making variety the Watchword of the Enlisted Dining Facility. In addition to menu-planning, duties included at-sea and in-port provisioning, planning and catering formal luncheons for foreign dignitaries, and the operation and cleanliness of the Officers' and Chief Petty-officers' berthing spaces. qsunwiif -DIIIO Ship's-servicemen CSH'sJ provide laundry and barber service as well as operating the various retail outlets fship's store, catalog sales, snack bar, and vending machinesl. SH's work long hours, ensuring that grooming standards are met, toilet articles are available, and sufficient quantities of refreshments are available for the crew's after-hours enjoyment. The most obvious service was the gedunk store, with its almost never-ending supply of freshly-popped popcorn and sodas, which always seemed to go so perfectly with TV TRUXTUN's nightly broadcast. Less visible, but perhaps most important of all was the efficiency and prompt service of the ship's laundry. Shipis-storekeepers CSK'sJ are the logistics specialists in the ship's maintenance program, responsible for the procurement, inventory man- agement, and financial accounting for repair parts, supplies, and equipage. Their fifteen store-rooms contain in excess of 50,000 different items - quite the hardware store! Disbursing clerks CDK'sJ are the paymasterfbankers who process Leave and Earning Statements and distribute cash on paydays. Getting money to the crew in the form of Treasury checks, allotments, dealer bills, travel claims, bonus payments, and foreign currency, keeps them busy in port and underway. During deployment, their professional, no-nonsense attitude was something we could bank on. ..,g-.-. NR' SX x .XG ' XF ' 52 ,X ,X XA Y :SX A X XX X vi LX. f NNE?

Good food . . . and plenty of it. That's what it's all about. You stand in line, you're in a hurry, and when you get to the servers, you expect service. Thanks to the efficiency of our Mess-Management personnel, it happens. TRUXTUN's MS's kept the hot food coming, the fresh milk and bug juice pouring, and the salad bar stocked with a constant variety of menu items. The bakery Shop worked long hours after lights out to provide fresh doughnuts, coffee cake, and home-made bread for the crew's enjoyment. The flight-deck cookouts presented our cooks in their best formg offering steaks prepared to the individual's preference, along with burgers, potato salad, etc. Everyone will agree that our cooks turn out dishes which are just like downtown! , W, -.ngea..1 if--f 'nm mg:.',.w!snv7:?- .lvl -.. .4 I 3 1 Q 1 1 'W ER ICE TO THE CRE ,fm ,, ww, 1 ' ' w.',mi-X-,W .X uv , , f,,f.ff,.,, ,Q Q, ' , .,.-1' 1 J I STOREKEEPERS Q -if X , SKSN CULVER 214 ' 1- A 0 4 Qi ua 3 SKSN GARCIA SKSN RIJOS USTORESH 9?

An excess of 10,000 requisitions were created and a ship's budget of S727,000.00 was well accounted for by the SK's during the entire fiscal year of 1978 which ended on 30 September 1978.

THE ADMI I TRATIVE The Administrative Department is composed of Yeomen KYNJ, Personnelmen QPNJ, Postal Clerks CPCJ, and the Master- at-Arms Force CMAAJ. Their primary purpose aboard TRUXTUN, excluding the MAA Force, is to take care of all matters that deal with the smooth routing of correspondence through the chain of command. They handle all matters of both a military and a personal nature for all officers and enlisteds. The job of the Yeoman is primarily secretarial, as division officers' assistants. Postal Clerks are tasked with the routine sorting and distribution of all incoming and outgoing mail. PC's also sell money orders to the crew. The MAA Force, also a part of the ADMIN Department, is tasked with the job of ensuring that the rules and regulations of the ship, as well as the Navy, are enforced. They process report chits, Captain's Mast, and act as tour guides during visits by Staff Officers or other V.I.P.'s . ll: PN3 AQUINO YNSN GAYDEN YN2 ALLEN PC2 HAILEY I l Q?v4 ev av i QED hx , 511 1 A 1 L Q Q f ' 4 'W -annum A PcsN PAINE Pcs LESSLEY FHM?
