USS VULCAN (AR-5) AC •h r EHifiKE a -4— ■ 1941 - 1975 l THE CHAIN OF COMMAND 2 INTRODUCING COM NAV SURF LANT A New Command A Traditional Mission For A New Navy “...More than 220 ships and about 80,000 Navy men and women are now part of a new command called the Naval Surface Force. U S. Atlantic Fleet. No longer is there an Amphibious Force, a Cruiser-Destroyer Force or, a Service Force. Rather, the Surface Force encompasses all these functions. The unique missions performed by the former commands will continue with the same amount of pride and professionalism as in the past.” “Bean , Bullets and Blac k Oil Without fuel, ships could not sail; without bullets. guns would remain silent; and, mast importantly, without food, sailors at sea would go hungry. Thus, a small variety of ships in the Surface Force have the important mission of replenishment at sea. That is, it’s their job to take on a vast amount of supplies, rendezvous at sea with other Navy ships and pass these supplies during underway replenishment operations. Giant oilers, refrigerated store ships and ammunition ships steam with task force units to enable the amphibious assault ships, the cruisers and the destroyers to fulfill their specific obligations. Technical expertise in salvage and diving operations is also a function of Surface Force ships. When ships, for some reason or another go aground or go dead in the water, salvage ships and fleet tugs provide valuable assistance. Newer replenishment ships in the form of the combat store ship, the fast combat support ship and the replenishment fleet oiler will eventually replace several other ship types because they offer “one stop” service. That is, a ship such as the fast combat support ship (AOK) will be able to resupply the necessary food, black oil and a wide variety of ammunition from her giant storerooms. Repair tenders—called floating factories—offer many varied services to their nests alongside. Almost every type of work is done in tenders—from cutting hair, medical, dental and canvas work to machinery repair, electronic calibration and pattern making. The various missions performed by the many ship types and shore commands within the Surface Force compliment each other to make this major surface command a cohesive, well-equipped seagoing strike force. The thousands of Navy men and women serving in these ships and at the shore support facilities continue to be the most important elements affecting the accomplishment of the Navy’s mission ofsea power for peace. Naval Surface Force Atlantic Fleet 3 COMMANDER NAVAL SURFACE FORCE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET NORFOLK. VIRGINIA 23511 This year marks the birth of the Naval Surface Force, Atlantic with its many challenges and responsibilities that directly affect the. whole spectrum of Surface Warfare. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral James Holloway bald that the establishment of the Surface Forces Atlantic and Pacific will give the Surface Navy the unique capability to: ...Emphasize and innovativeiy expand the Integration of Surface Warfare concepts, tactics, readiness and tAalnlng to meet offensive as well as defensive missions and to significantly enhance the Surface Warfare image by developing a natuAal community with established AequlAements, priorities and objectives with which all surface sailors can a elate.” As new surface ships and weapons systems enteA the fleet In IncAeaslng numbers, all ouA efforts should be channeled towaAd obtal-nlng pAofesslonal and capable pcASonnel. AdmiAal Holloway said, ”The SuAface FoAce must successfully compete foA the best offlceA and enlisted talent available. AttAactlng and Aetalnlng high caliber, enthusiastic and dedicated men foA ouA new ships, In my view, is its most compelling goal. This goal can be successfully achieved by Instituting and maintaining challenging standaAds and cAeatlng an atmospheAe that generates espirlt and a sense of contribution to a vital Navy mission on the paht of each offlceA and man assigned The Naval SuAface FoAce Atlantic will make eveAy effoAt towaAd achieving this goal. With youA support and assistance, the Surface Force will be a unified force that will serve the Navy and the nation well In the yeans ahead. R. E. ADAMSON, Jr. c— Dice Admiral, U.S. Navy I CAPT C. F.

He was considered the divine artificer and creator of all that was mechanically wonderful. In a quarrel between his parents Jupiter and Juno, he sided with his mother and was thrown from Mount Olympus by Jupiter. After falling for a whole day, landed on the Isle of Lemnos, where he stayed and regained favor of the mighty gods of Mount Olympus by serving as their blacksmith. All volcanoes, especially Lemnos and Etna were his workshops, where he forged the thunderbolts of Jupiter, the shield of Hercules, and the armour of Achilles. 17 VULCAN’S HISTORY OCTOBER 1909 - JULY 1921 The current VULCAN (AR-5) is the second service craft to carry this name. The first VULCAN was a coaling ship of 11,250 tons displacement, 385 feet in length, 53 feet wide, mean draft of 24 feet and had a maximum speed of 12.8 knots. VULCAN was built in 1909 by the Maryland Steel Company at Sparrows Point, Maryland, at a cost of $479,600 for the hull and machinery. VULCAN was commissioned on 2 October 1909, and operated with the fleet along with other service ships of the Atlantic Fleet and in the West Indies. In 1911, VULCAN sailed to France to coal vessels of the Atlantic Fleet and thence on to Norway with coal for the Naval Academy Practice Squadron. VULCAN remained at the Navy Yard in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, between July 1913 and February 1914, when she once again joined the fleet. In November 1915, VULCAN sailed to Mexico, and later served entirely in the Caribbean. VULCAN was placed out of commission in the Navy Operating Base in Norfolk, Virginia, on 20 July 1921, and was later sold. VULCAN’S HISTORY JUNE 1941 - PRESENT VULCAN is the first of the modern repair ships. Her keel was laid on 16 December 1939 at the Camden, New Jersey Yard of the New York Shipbuilding Company. At the launching ceremonies of 14 December 1940, Mrs. James Forrestal, wife of the first Secretary of the Defense, broke the traditional bottle of champagne as VULCAN's sponsor. Official commissioning of VULCAN was held 16 June 1941 at which time VULCAN joined the Atlantic Fleet. Soon after VULCAN was pressed into service during World War II. From her commissioning to December 1944, VULCAN operated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean areas, basing at Argentia; Newfoundland; Havalfjordur, Iceland; Algiers and Mer-EI Kebir, Algeria. Her first major repair job was the emergency repairs made to the USS KEARNY (DD-432) after she had been torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Iceland in October of 1941. VULCAN was awarded the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal for participation in the allied invasion of Normandy (including the bombardment of Cherbourg) during the period 15 August through 25 September 1944. OCCEMBSR 14TM 1940 1st VULCAN 1910 In December 1944, VULCAN was transferred to the Pacific Fleet where she continued to perform vital repair and support services for allied merchant and naval ships while based in Ulithi Atoll, Caroline Islands, and Leyte Gulf. Philippine Islands. In September 1945, VULCAN was deployed to Buckner Bay, Okinawa to assist the many allied ships damaged and driven ashore by the effects of a typhoon. As a result of VULCAN repair efforts many ships were saved and a disastrous situation averted. In October 1945, traversing one hundred and twenty miles of mine infested water through the Island Sea of Japan, VULCAN led a small force of service force ships to Hiro Wan, Japan and established a necessary and vital repair service facility in this forward area. During this Pacific deployment, VULCAN was awarded the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal for the period 2 September 1945 through 10 March 1946. In April 1946, VULCAN returned to the United States and the Atlantic Fleet for duty where she has remained fulfilling her repair mission. During the Cuban Crisis, in October and November 1962, VULCAN was deployed to the Caribbean area to provide repair service to those ships engaged in the Cuban Quarantine. In September 1964, VULCAN departed Norfolk to participate in the combined NATO exercise, “Teamwork”, during which time she served as flagship for Commander Service Squadron Four. VULCAN was deployed to Greenock, Scotland during this combined exercise and provided repair and service facilities to fleet units participating in “Teamwork . Upon termination of exercise Teamwork in early October 1964, VULCAN was deployed to Rota. Spain and participated in the largest peacetime amphibious exercise since World War II. Steel Pike I . Operating off Huelva, Spain, VULCAN provided repair service to the fleet units until completion of exercise “Steel Pike I in late October 1964. In May 1965, VULCAN served as flagship for a Mobile Logistic Support Group and provided repair and service facilities to fleet units engaged in Dominican Republic operations. In May 1970 VULCAN entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard where she underwent a four month overhaul period. During 1971-1972 a time of increased Navy commitments in Southeast Asia and frequent deployments of Atlantic Fleet units to that conflict, VULCAN undertook one hundred-fifty-three along-side and concurrent ship repair availabilities and completed them with enthusiasm, professionalism and dispatch. Quality work, increased ship-days on the line, and savings in maintenance funds were the result. In no less than eleven cases. VULCAN prepared ships to meet urgent operational commitments with minimal notice as dictated by exigencies of the tactical situation; in each instance the commitments were met and VULCAN'S contribution was vital. In 1972, VULCAN passed a Material inspection (by the Board of Inspection and Survey) and received a grade of Outstanding in the Administrative Inspection and was awarded the Battle Efficiency E” and the Red Engineering “E . These accomplishments were duplicated in 1973 when VULCAN added hash marks to the Battle Efficiency “E and Engineering E awards, and received an additional award, the Supply E”. In 1974, VULCAN received the Supply E again and the Communications E . USS VULCAN is presently assigned as a unit of Service Group Two Naval Surface Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and continues to perform repairs, provide medical, dental, engineering and supply support and conduct religious services for some 73 ships including aircraft carriers, amphibious, destroyer and service forces types currently assigned VULCAN parent tender.

In 1775, our forefathers, who had crossed the ocean in search of freedom, banded together as 13 colonies and established the United States Navy. From the beginning, the Navy is linked in spirit and tradition to each of the 50 states that now form our Union. The 13 stars of the Navy's 200th Birthday insignia represent the 13 original colonies whose Continental Congress formed the Navy. Fifty links on the chain represent the modern states; and the anchor recalls the strength and bravery of mankind inspired by the sea. Endleafs ■ USS CONSTITUTION, 44 gun frigate, launched in 1797.
