About the hip U.S.S. TULARE, a newcomer to the Am- phibious Force, Pacific Fleet, is the Navy s biggest and fastest Attack Cargo Ship. An Attack Cargo Ship carries combat cargo of all kinds to assist ground forces in amphibi- ous invasions once troops have landed on enemy beaches. . TULARE was converted from her Marin- er-Class merchant hull to a Navy ship by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in San Francisco. Cn lanuary twelfth, l956, she was commissioned, and Captain Donald W. Todd, USN., commanded her early days. Cn September tenth, l956, Captain Colin l. Mackenzie, U.S.N., relieved Cap- tain Todd and remained skipper until Sep- tember sixteenth, l957, when Captain Earl R. Crawford, USN., relieved him of com- mand in Pearl l-larbor and brought the ship back along the last leg of her Western Pa- cific cruise. TULARE is a modern ship. We have a large helicopter platform on our fantail to off-load cargo urgently needed Gt the beaches. Cur main battery consists of twenty-seven amphibious landing craft, but we also have six twin 3 f5O automatic mounts and six twin 20 mm mounts. Guy holds are large, and three of the booms on the guadrupod masts are capable of lift- ing loads in excess of GO tons. Cur speed is greater than 22 knots. Length: 564 feet, Beam: 76 feet. Registered tonnage: l8,0UU, Our living compartments are large and comfortable. The food is wonderful-as the dedication of this cruise book proves! TULARE is proud to be named after Tulare County, in southern California. . But a ship is more than the steel hull and fittings which make up her physical ap- pearance. A ship will always be a reflec- tion of her commanding officer - the old man-and the officers and crew who man her. Life aboard a Navy ship is the military life of these men as they work together, and rest, and train, and face the sea. Cn the next few pages we would like you to meet the men who give life to our ship. ,. .,.-Qf- A f-f. yr 't B
