IVlrs. K. K. Vesole, widow of the ship's namesake, was the ship's spon- sor. Ensign VESOLE was Officer-in-Charge of the armed guard aboard the USS JOHN BASCON. He was post- humously awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism while helping his men to safety after the sinking of his ship off the enemy beaches of Bari, Italy, 2 December 1943. VESOLE was modified for radar picket duty in the Pacific soon after her commissioning. The mod- ification, however, took just long enough to cost VESOLE her first' taste of combat as World War ll ended while the ship was enroute to the Pacific. VESOLE continued to the Pacific -and operated for a year in the Far Fast before returning to the Atlantic Fleetin 1947. Since 1947, VESOLE has made frequent tripsto the European area to serve with the Sixth Fleet or as a Midshipman cruise ship. In 1953, she was among the ships reviewed by Queen Elizabeth ll at the Coronation Naval Review. VESOLE also operated with the Atlantic, Fleet Amphibious Forces in the Caribbean Sea and took part in the Cuban Quarantine. ln 1962, she participated in the Presidential Review. Also in 1962, VESOLE was the recipient of the first Arleigh' Burke Fleet Trophy for the greatest improve- ment in battle efficiency. From January to September 1964, VESOLEunder- went Fleet ,Rehabilitationand Modernization QFRAIVIJ overhaul at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Selected for a complete refitting, VESOLE received internal and external' modifications. In addition to the installation of improv-ed underwater detection equipment, radar, and electronic warfare systems, internal improvements were made in living compartments, office spaces, I, pilot house and Combat information Center. Externally, she received a signal bridge, DASH Hanger and flight deck, and ASROC launcher. This armament brought VESOLE up to the standards of a modern fighting ship. VESOLE now carries ASROC and torpedo tubes to fulfill her primary mission in Anti-Submarine Warfare, and mounts two 5 f 38 twin gun batteries. From November 1965 to April 1966, VESOLE deployed to Vietnam and took part in numerous coastal patrol and gunfire support missions. VESOLE departed for the Middle East in November 1966 where she visited many ports including lVlassawa, Ethiopia. There the crew enjoyed a week of festivities climaxed by the graduation ceremonies of the Ethiopian Naval Academy and a royal visit by his Majesty Haile Selassie. In June 1967, VESOLE was part of the U. S. exhibit at EXPO '67 in Nlontreal, Canada. The ship entered Boston Naval Shipyard for her regular over- haul period in April 1968, after which she underwent refreshertraining at GUANTANAIVIO Bay, Cuba. From January to July 1969, VESOLE wasthe U. S. Representative in Standing Naval Force Atlantic-the multinational NATO squadron. While a member of STANAVFORLANT, VESOLE participated in several major NATO exercises and visited North Atlantic ports. At the 20th Anniversary NATO Review in May 1969, the ship had the honor of again being one of the ships reviewed by Queen Elizabeth ll. U When not deployed overseas, VESOLE operates with units of the Second Fleet in local ASW exercises. In August 1969, VESOLE will change homeports form.Newport, Rhode Island to Charleston South Carolinag assigned to Cruiser-Destroyer Flotilla SIX, Destroyer Squadron 6. VESOLE is manned by approximately 17 officers and 250 enlisted personnel. f 7--W W 1 44' M! ,Aff W M! owns' TWT-Z mv-ff 'W' .'.-f.-,fxp 1 : lil 1':2.-'f- 'Z' :'Z',f,'-3. jT1 -if P: fl'L5,-iff-'f- '4 1J ?: : ' ' 'Ti' ' N'-1.

Although her primary role in war. is the de- tection and destruction of submarines, DIDO is armed with a triple-barrelled antisubmarine mor- tar which is automatically controlled by sonar equipment. DIDO also carries a Wasp helicopter, armed with homing torpedoes, to deal with enemy submarines detected at long range. The Wasp has a range of 288 miles, a one-man crew, and can carry three passengers. DlD0's main gun armament is a twin 4.5 inch turret, mounted forward. This is directed by radar when fired automatically and is capable of engaging targets travelling at the speed of sound. The ship also has two 40 millimeter anti-aircraft guns. The distinctive hull shape of the Leander Class ensures stability and high maneuverability. DIDO has a standard displacement of 2,300 tons, a length of 372 feet and a beam of 41 feet. Her turbines develop 30,000 shaft horsepower, giving her a speed of more than 30 -knots. The ship has a complement of 16 officers and 236 enlisted men. THE SHIPS OF The Dutch frigate HNLMS VAN NES ,was built in Flushing, Holland, and commissioned on August 9, 1967. On October 5, 1967, after a trial cruise inthe seas surrounding the British Isles, VAN NES was assigned to The Netherlands Training Squadron Five. The fourth ship to bear the name, VAN NES was named after The Royal Netherlands Navy Admiral Aert van Nes, who lived from 1620 to 1693. The third VAN NES, a destroyer, served in The Netherlands East Indies during the Japan- ese invasion of 1942. She was sunk in February 1942 while escorting an evacuation convoy in the Java Sea. VAN NES has a standard displacement of 2200 tons. She is 360 feet long and has a beam of 41 feet and an average draught of 15 feet. VAN NES reaches a maximum speed of 28.5 knots and carries a complement of 254 officers and enlisted men. The frigate's armament includes two 4.5 inch twin turret guns, one three-barrelled depth charge mortar, two Seacat missile launchers, and a Wasp helicopter with homing torpedoes, 7 74, ix . 1 - X The Royal Netherlands Navy destroyer HNLMS LIMBURG is named after the most southern pro- vince of The Netherlands. Built in Flushing, Holland, LlMBURG's keel was laid in 1953. She was commissioned on Oct- ober 31, 1956. On her trial cruise she visited Portland, England, Free Town, Sierra Leone, and Las Palmas, in the Canary Islands. From March 1957 to March 1959, LIMBURG was assigned to The Netherlands Training Squad- ron I. From May to December 1960 LIMBURG made a world cruise with her sister ship, the destroyer GRONINGEN, and the Royal Netherlands aircraft carrier KAREL DOORMAN. F After serving in the New Guinea area during 1962, LIMBURG was put into a reserve fleet until April 1966. Since then she has operated with the Fifth Netherlands Training Squadron. From .lan- uaryto March 1967 LIMBURG was part ofNATO's Match Maker Ill Squadron, the forerunner of the presentStanding Naval Force Atlantic. LIMBURG displaces 2497t3ons, is 380 feet long, has a beam of 38 and onehalf feet and can reach a speed in excess of 36 knots. Her armament includes four 4.7 inch guns, four 20 millimeter anti-aircraft guns and two four-barrelled anti-submarine rocket th rowers. D gmwmss tw.

STANAVFORLANT HMOMS STAVANGER AND NARVIK The Norwegian frigates STAVANGER and NARVIK were built at Marinens Hovedverft, the Norwe ian Naval Dock ard at Horten and 8 Y . were completed in 1966 and 1965 respectively. Each displaces 1,450 tons, is 308 feet long, has a beam of 36 feet and draught of 17feet. Their main armament includes dual pur- pose 3 inch guns in two twin mounts, the Terne anti-submarine weapon system and two torpedo launchers. The main engines comprise a set of de Laval Ljungstrom double reduction geared turbines, which give the ships a speed of 25 knots. Each frigate has a complement of 30 officers and 119 ratings. 1 HMOMS STAVANGER COMMANDER P.H.

This book recalls the events of VESOLE's participation in the Standing Naval Force Atlantic, the first permanent, international naval force formed in modern history. STANAVFORLANT's primary functions are to provide a symbol of political and military solidarity of the NATO alliance and to provide a seagoing catalyst of naval security span- ning the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to America. It demon- strates with each new exercise and port visit that many NATO ships, each flying its individual national flag, can operate in unity and common cause. 2. I'm sure I speak for all of you when I say that this very successful deployment has been professionally stimu- lating, rewarding, and enjoyable. It has been a distinct honor for VESOLE to have been chosen to represent the United States in this force, and you have upheld that honor. You have met our many commitments with vigor and enthusiasm and a dedication to duty second to none. The pride you have exhibited in your ship, her operational performance, her appearance and her smartness, has been unfailing. This enviable record could only be attained with an inspired performance by each of you as individuals, along with a spirit of teamwork and esprit d'corps. You have shown your mettle as Destroyermen and you have distin- guished your ship, your Navy, and your country. 3. As this deployment comes to a close, the experience you have gained, particularly in dealing with contemporaries of other nations in professional and social situations, the pride of accomplishment you have experienced, and the worldly knowledge you have acquired will stand you in good stead no matter what your next endeavor may be.

The English equivalent of our Guantanamo, Portland is the British sea trial, training, and work-up area. The town itself rises high above the harbor, and is connected to the southern coastal town of Weymouth by a narrow causeway. Vesole participated in gunnery, engineering, and damage control exercises in the Portland operating area of the English Channel. A 6 M. . PER! UP WEYMOUTH A summer resort city on the south coast of England, Weymouth was quiet and sparsely populated in February. Many of us, however, enjoyed the quaint taverns in the area and returned to Weymouth even when Vesole was in London. An American sailor was a breed of animal not often seen in Weymouth, and the people went out of their way to be friendly and hos- pitable.

Each ship sent thirty crew members out on the pier in various dress and carrying placards. They were later allowed back aboard, but when they tried to demonstrate, were ushered oll. The value of the exercise was dubious, but we all had a fine time. SECOND Q ' Ig . -1-I II f, A I XM. lm V, w- I 'I I -. XYZQQT I., , . I I I I 1 I I i I I I l I - I I FTG2 T. M. REDMAN FTG2 M. C.

Most of us made the ettort to see Big Ben and Parliament, Number Ten Downing Street, Tower Bridge, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Soho,Carnaby Street, and hundreds ot less well-known places. Certainly the highlight of the visit for a few of us was meetin Princess Margaret aboard the Van Nes.
