Her keel was laid on 16 December 1939 at the Camden, New Jersey Yard of the New York Shipbuilding Company. At the launching ceremonies on 14 December 1940, Mrs. James For-restal, wife of the first Secretary of Defense, broke the traditional bottle of champagne as VULCAN sponsor. Official commissioning of VULCAN was held 16 June 1941 at which VULCAN joined the Atlantic Fleet. Soon after VULCAN was pressed into service during World War II. At first VULCAN operated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, basing at Argentia, Newfoundland; Hvalfjordur, Iceland; and off North Africa at Algiers, Oran, and Mer El Kebir. Her first major repair job was the emergency repairs made to USS KEARNY (DD-432) after the destroyer was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the coast of Iceland in October 1941. During the period of 15 August through 25 September 1944, VULCAN received the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal for her participation in the Allied invasion of Normandy. In December 1944, VULCAN was transferred to the Pacific Fleet where she continued to perform vital repair and support services for Allied naval and merchant ships. In April 1946, VULCAN returned to the Atlantic Fleet for duty where she was remained fulfilling her repair mission. Based in Newport. Rhode Island in the post war years, VULCAN changed her homeport to Norfolk, Virginia in early 1954. In October and November 1962, VULCAN deployed to the Caribbean to provide repair services to the U.S. warships participating in the Cuban Quarantine. In May 1970, VULCAN entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard where she underwent a four month overhaul period. 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 Engineering Red “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 a second Supply “E” and the Communications ‘C”. In 1975, having successfully passed INSURV and Administrative inspections, VULCAN was awarded a second Communications “C” and the Battle Efficiency “E” as being the best of seven Atlantic Fleet tenders for Fiscal Year 1975. 2 VULCAN underwent a comprehensive nine month overhaul in 1976, emerging in November in a vastly improved material condition. The year 1977 saw VULCAN complete Refresher Training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba with solid passing grades in each of the fifteen functional areas of training. Subsequent fleet repair services in Norfolk and Charleston were broken by at-sea training periods with visits to Halifax, Nova Scotia; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rica. VULCAN was awarded Engineering and Supply Battle Efficiency “E’ 's as well as a second hashmark to her Communications “C” for Fiscal Year 1977. In 1978, VULCAN visited Halifax, Nova Scotia; Bermuda; and spent a tending period in Earle, New Jersey. On 1 November 1978, VULCAN became the first naval ship other than hospital or transport ships to have women assigned as permanent crew members. In September of 1979 VULCAN deployed to the Mediterranean to serve as SIXTH-FLEET tender, her first major deployment in over three decades. While deployed, she received many commendations on her repair services from ships tended and group commanders. VULCAN returned to Norfolk in March 1980. In April and May, VULCAN was again in Earle. In September, VULCAN deployed to the North Atlantic to take part in the NATO exercise “TEAMWORK 80” which combined ships and aircraft from the U.S., UK, Norway and the Netherlands. 1982 will be remembered as the Year of Overhaul. The tender arrived in the shipyards of Boston’s General Ship Corporation on 27 January, ready for the upgrading that would add many more years of useful service life. 13 months later, VULCAN emerged with the majority of the overhaul work and the Light Off Examination (LOE) successfully completed. The tender braved one of the fiercest winter storms she ever encountered to arrive home in Norfolk in mid February 1983. Post-overhaul refresher training was conducted FTG Guantanamo in April and May with VULCAN “setting the tone for other tenders”, in the words of CAPT J. E. McConville. Through the remainder of 1983, the overhaul work was completed and repair availability resumed. As 1984 began, VULCAN cruised to the Caribbean in support of READEX 1-84, stopping at St. Thomas and Naval Station Roosevelt Roads. The ship’s itinerary for the year included an intermediate maintenance visit to Naval Weapons Station Earle, New Jersey, and MTT exercises off the Virginia Capes in preparation for the Mediterranean-Indian Ocean deployment in October 1984. In October 1984, VULCAN sailed to the Indian Ocean and returned six months later after succes-fully completing her first major cruise in four years. 3 CAPT JAMES P.

Elm PRIOR TO . . . getting underway for our Med cruise many important tasks and jobs were completed. VULCAN entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard on 23 Sep 85 for a three month SRA period which uplifted VULCAN readiness. After our yard period we headed south to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for six weeks of Refresher Training. GTMO tested VULCAN in all areas of Damage Control, Deck Seamanship, Operations and Engineering. GTMO proved to be challenging experience for all VULCAN crew members. Our final task was replacing the port screw. VULCAN divers worked round the clock for two days so we could get our Med journey underway. 13 Jun 86 finally arrived after months of hard work and dedication. Family mem- bers gathered on the pier as we sadly pulled away from the pier knowing that the next six months were going to be tough. ACROSS THE POND During our transit to the Med VULCAN daily routine switched from a comfortable five section duty week to the daily routine of the “underway blues.” Our journey across the Atlantic Ocean gave us some underway training time and also a break to celebrate the 45th birthday of VULCAN. Fantail picnics gave us some relief from our day to day obligations. On 27 Jun 86 VULCAN entered the “pillars of Hercules” otherwise known as the straits of Gibraltar. Here lies the cradle of western civilization and also the home of the mighty U.S. Sixth Fleet.

These men and women make VULCAN the finest tender in the fleet. fey FANTAIL PICNICS While we were underway during our Med cruise we had the pleasure of enjoying many fantail picnics. Our Food Service Division planned and coordinated these events. These picnics helped relieve the pressure and loneliness of being away from the states for such a long time.

We spent three months in Naples, Italy and visited other countries such as Spain and France. In between work and duty days we got to enjoy some of the different foreign cultures and customs that were offered to us. SEVILLA SEVILLA! Those people who went to Sevilla got to see one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. The sights and sounds of the busy city were very exciting for all. Sevilla’s charm is her narrow streets, numerous shops, inspiring architect and ancient ruins. 83 NAPLES NAPLES Since we spent three months of our Med cruise in Naples, Italy it was known as our homeport in the Mediterranean. Naples proved to be enjoyable for all. Its history, art, charm, traditions and delectable cruise were just a few of the things which makes Naples a fantastic city. NAPLES NAPLES 4 Nearby Naples were the exotic ruins of Pompeii, and the scenic beauty of Amalfi. There were also many tours to Rome and such places as Capri and Naples’ fine cambio factories. NAPLES NAPLES NAPLES NAPLES ROME ROME ROME ROME ROME ROME ROME ROME o Rome, a city of fountains, statues, monuments, ancient ruins and unrivaled street scenes. Rome is a must for anyone visiting Italy. Vatican City, located in its midst, is the residence of the Pope and location of Saint Peter’s Basilica. Rome is known for its ageless architecture and priceless works of art. 87 o VILLE FRANCHE During our three week stay in Ville Franche, France we got to see some of the most beautiful beaches and scenery in all of Europe. For a small fee you could take one of the many trains to places like Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes and Paris. GAETA Gaeta, Italy is the homeport of the homeport of the SIXTHFLT Flagship USS BELKNAP. Gaeta is a small Italian town with many beautiful sights and sounds. Gaeta’s nightlife is filled with many activities such as bars, delicious food and very nice local people. 90 TANGIERS, MOROCCO TANGIERS, MOROCCO 92 ODDOHOW ‘SH3I9NV1 0990H0W ‘SH3I9NV1 PALMA Palma, the land of windmills and matadors. During the six days we spent in the Palma the pleasant climate made our visit exceptionally nice. Palma is famous for its beaches and shopping. Palma’s nightlife is also ex- 7- tremely satisfying. Many VULCAN crewmembers vowed to return to Palma one day. 94 95 TOULON TOULON TOULON TOULON TOULON TOULON 97 HELO OPERATIONS While we were in the Mediterranean we participated in many Helo Operations. These operations consisted of recieving many pallets of materials such as food and working supplies for the various divisions. When participating in Helo Operations it is an all hands evolution. It is sometimes necessary to have all crew members take part during this complex and tedious evolution. ' 99 OFF DUTY There were many places to relax when we had no duty. Places like the Old Mill Inn in Gaeta and Carney Park in Naples gave us a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather, the different countries and scenery offered. rr ro-HTioc ) Softball proved to be one of the more relaxing things to do while in the Mediterranean. Some people played the game for recreation and others played it in competition. Our VULCAN “A” Softball team won two fleet tournaments in Naples and was undefeated by any other ship team, including a tournament win over the Aircraft Carrier USS FOR-RESTAL. •5 DOD SHOWS We were able to enjoy many entertaining DoD Shows in the Med. Acts such as Ose’s Touch of Paradise in Ville Franche, Prince Anthony and Company in Gaeta, Heart to Heart in Toulon and Suzi Devereux in Toulon gave us an enjoyable break from our hectic work schedules. 107 THE CREW SHIP’S SELF DEFENSE FORCE The job of maintaining shipboard security while we were in the different ports around the globe was the job of the Ship’s Self Defense Force. SPECIAL SEA AND ANCHOR DETAIL Whenever VULCAN pulls into foreign or domestic port the special sea and anchor detail must be mustered. These Sailors are highly trained in the jobs. They become the major factor when VULCAN pulls along side a pier or moors in a harbor. Ill d 112 SMALL ARMS TRAINING When we were underway the armory conducted small arms training for the different divisions on VULCAN. These training periods were held on the fantail by the Gunners Mates. 113 WORKING PARTIES While we were in the Mediterranean working parties were an essential evolution for VULCAN. These evolutions consisted of all hands participating and sometimes loading thousands of pounds of goods for all the divisions in VULCAN. 114 Supplies were usually delivered by trucks or helicopters during VERTREP operations.

Sailors showed up for this fun and exciting party. I I i I |li 123 THE SAILORS DOWN BELOW 124 I 126 THE SNIPE’S LAMENT NOW EACH OF US FROM TIME TO TIME HAS GAZED UPON THE SEA, AND WATCHED THE WARSHIPS PULLING OUT TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY FREE. AND MOST OF US HAVE READ A BOOK OR HEARD A LUSTY TALE ABOUT MEN WHO SAIL THESE SHIPS THROUGH LIGHTNING, WIND AND HAIL, BUT THERE’S A PLACE WITHIN EACH SHIP THAT LEAGEND FAILS TO TEACH, IT’S DOWN BELOW THE WATERLINE; IT TAKES A LIVING TOLL A HOT METAL LIVING HELL THAT SAILORS CALL THE HOLE. IT HOUSES ENGINES RUN BY STEAM THAT MAKES THE SHAFT GO ROUND A PLACE OF FIRE AND NOISE AND HEAT, THAT BEATS YOUR SPIRITS DOWN, WHERE BOILERS LIKE A HELLISH HEART, WITH BLOOD OF ANGRY STEAM, ARE MOLDED GODS WITHOUT REMORSE, ARE NIGHTMARES IN A DREAM. WHOSE THREAT THAT FROM THE FIRES ROAR IS LIKE A LIVING DOUBT, THAT ANY MINUTE WOULD THE SCORN ESCAPE AND CRUSH YOU OUT. WHERE TURBINES SCREAM LIKE TORTURED SOULS, ALONE AND LOST IN HELL, AS ORDERED FROM ABOVE SOMEWHERE THEY ANSWER EVERY BELL. THE MEN WHO KEEP THE FIRES LIT AND MAKE THE ENGINES RUN ARE STRANGERS TO THE WORLD OF NIGHT AND RARELY SEE THE SUN. WHEN SHIPS CONVERGE TO HAVE A WAR, UPON AN ANGRY SEA, THE MEN BELOW JUST GRIMLY SMILE AT WHAT THEIR FATE MIGHT BE. THEY’RE LOCKED IN BELOW LIKE MEN FOREDOOMED, WHO HERE NO BATTLE CRY. IT’S WELL ASSUMED THAT IF THEY’RE HIT THE MEN BELOW WILL DIE FOR EVERY DAY IS A WAR DOWN THERE, WHEN GAUGES ALL READ RED FOR HUNDRED POUNDS OF HEATED STEAM CAN KILL YOU MIGHTY DEAD. I’VE SEEN THE SWEAT SOAKED HEROES FIGHT IN SUPERHEATED AIR TO KEEP THEIR SHIP ALIVE AND RIGHT, THOUGH NO ONE KNOWS THEY’RE THERE AND THUS THEY’LL FIGHT FOR AGES ON TILL WARSHIPS SAIL NO MORE, AMID THE BOILERS’ MIGHTY HEAT AND THE TURBINES’ HELLISH ROAR, SO WHEN YOU SEE A SHIP PULL OUT, TO MEET A WARLIKE FOE, REMEMBER FAINTLY IF YOU CAN “THE MEN WHO SAIL BELOW” FACES OF THE CREW 130 THANKSGIVING IN ROTA On November 27th we celebrated Thanksgiving in Rota. Spain. S-2 Division prepared a delicious meal for us to enjoy. This date also reminded us that it was almost time to head back across the pond and lay our feet back on United States soil. 1 TURNOVER WITH USS PUGET SOUND As the USS PUGET SOUND (AD-38) pulled into Rota, Spain, we all watched with much anticipation because we had been waiting for this moment for six long months. We knew that we were finally going to be heading home. MEDITERRANEAN SHOTS HOMECOMING We could hardly believe that December 10th had arrived! As we passed the Bay Bridge Tunnel we could see the Naval Base and the hundreds of people waiting for us at the pier. Signs and banners filled the sky from people we hadn’t seer, in six month! As the Navy band played for us we felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. We were home at last!

The significance of comments like those are not received without the extra effort of all hands. Most shops and work centers had their turn with the shift work or extended working hours. For some shops, twelve hour days were the norm for the entire IMAV periods. This just proves that VULCAN is a dedicated ship and she truly “tends to be better”. 148 STATISTICS 107,095 meals fed 3.000 box lunches fed 134,795 pounds of laundry completed $220,000 in Ship’s Store sales 7.000 cases of soda sold 4,224 hours steamed 17,961 man hours on watch 5,937,200 gallons of fuel was consumed 4.860.000 gallons offeed water was distilled 4,944,171 gallons of fresh water was used 847 accident-free crane lifts were conducted Five VERTREPS were conducted 761 liberty boat runs were oonduct d 118 cargo boat runs were conducted 1,268 gallons of paint was issued Over 1,100 ID cards were issued Over 24 reenlistments were conducted 209 Military Leadership Exams were given $636,501.95 in money order sales Cashed $36,093.21 in money order sales $28,294.00 in stamp sales 66,311 pounds of incoming mail 24,094 pounds of outgoing mail 732 people were seen by the Chaplain 81 religious services conducted aboard VULCAN 15,490 incoming messages were processed 2,069 outgoing messages were processed 680.000 message copies were made 1,250 burn bags were d ?llM| twns 311 tooth extractions 515 cleanings 4,122 total exams 1,585 laboratory tests were conducted 1,811 audiograms were conducted 1,561 prescriptions were filled 881 X-ray exams were conducted 200 physical examinations 230 immunizations and a total of 2,055 sickcall visits The most outstanding statistics obviously came from VULCAN Repair Department. 22 IMAV ships were tended, 4,080 IMAV ships jobs were completed, total jobs completed were 4,829, 116 tending days, 41.63 average jobs per day and 80 fly awayteams were con- PARTING SHOTS M CRUISEBOOK STAFF TOR - LT TIM SHEA, DC OUT, DESIGN, TYPESETTING -03 JAK AUEHLER LAYOUT, DESIGN - E' LAWSON PHOTOGRAPH PHI DENNIS TH« PHOTOGRAPHY - PH3 CHRIS PENN ARTWORK - SH3 MARVIN JURGENS SALES - HT2 DEBRA ROLOSON SALES - ET2 EREDRICK WARD CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHERS: MM1 ARTHUR HAMMERLING OM2 ALLEN COIT OM2 JEFF FILA IC2 CLYDE MOSIER IC1 MIKE McNIEL 152 WALSWORTH C WS« BOOK OFFICE PUBLISHING III 1203 Wwt Littt C'Mfc Ro� J COMPANyUJI Norfolii.
