Sea Power, as the essential element of our Navy and National Power, is symbolized by the silhouette of USS WORDEN in the center of the shield, projecting our dual missign of Anti-air and Anti-submarine Warfare. The silhouette of the USS MONITOR symbolizes a historic event in the life of Rear Admiral John L Worden f . , or hom the ship is named. Admiral Worden commanded MONITOR during her famed engagement with CSS VIRGINIA EvEX-USS MERRIMACKJ at Hampton Reads, Virginia The four stylized stars indicate that WORDEN ' . is the fourth ship so named. , , . . . The colors Blue and Gold, in addition to being the colors of the Navy, have a separate meaning to students of Heraldry. Gold betokens wisdom, justice, riches and elevation of mind, when joined with Azure fbluej th l e co ors represent a commitment to keep what one gets. The Shipfs mgtto, Id Fiat WORDEN Si, translates freely to mean Let WORDEN Do It, and is indicative of the pirit with which WORDEN undertakes all tasks. s J- r of d- h- th er- al, n. ad- :on 3 - Commandin fficer Captain Henderson Alison Hodge III reported for duty as Commanding Officer USS WORDEN following a tour as Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, Cruiser Destroyer Group ONE.

I PL INS CR ER Blessed be the Chaplain, for he encouraged us all and prayed for each of us every night. - The Crew. Everyone needs someone to talk to, and we had the Chaplain. He was always available, any time of the day or night. The Red Cross messages came in and Chaps became the stork bringing word to the fathers. Giving someone good information is an easy task, but the hardest test of a chaplain's mettle comes when he must break unpleasant news to a sailor far from home. No one could display more understanding and sincerity than Chaplain Leverette. He made a difficult time easier for many of us. Sunday services were an emotional and uplifting event with Chaps serving as a perfect conduit through which we could receive God's rejuvenation and the hope of a better, safer world. Q bs 0, 'IB-. Wrhen the seas were too rough for an outdoor service, the Ship's Library became a sancturn of worship where Chaplain Leverette delivered his sermons. Q 7, ,X W , ,wi cf' 4 ff f W, My W..

The men responsible for safely navigating WORDEN were LTjg Frank Martin, Division Officer, QMC Scott Shumway, QM2 Randy Hayme, QM2 Todd McClain, QM3 Vin- cent Stazione, QM3 Patrick Durbin, QM3 Paul Degiorgi and QMSN John Brizendine. From a QM's point of view patrolling the Persian Gulf was truly challenging. Visibility was down to six miles and would sometimes worsen to three miles be- cause of sandstorms. It was hotf' QM3 Durbin recalled. Our air conditioning was working but it wasn't cold. It was a definite challenge keeping the ship on course with low visibility and at the same time keeping out of the Iranllraq war zone, he said. Tension was high and for me the most challenging thing about WESTPAC was just getting qualified for my watches, said QMSN Brizendine. The Persian Gulf was a vacation for me compared to my tour in Lebanon, QM2 McClain proclaimed. It was a piece of cake, really. My most memorable mo- ment in the Gulf was drinking a cold draft beer in the Bahrain Holiday Inn at two dinars each. What was challenging about the Gulf was trying to stretch your money when one diner was equal to 32.65 Aside from standing watches eating and sleeping the entire crew found themselves cleaning the ship every day due to the harsh environment Just imagine a float ing desert and you ll know what we went through The sand penetrated our equipment caused lots of trouble so intense cleaning was a daily requirement I ...X E .3 dp 20 ' vb 9 V avigation Team S wx Q 9:5 ,if The QMS - FRONT ROW: QMSN John Brizendine and QM3 Paul Degiorgi.

Even when the helicopter arrived during lunch or dinner or when he was in the shower, he somehow managed to get our mail on its way. Mail was definitely one of the biggest morale builders throughout the cruise, especially in the Persian Gulf. The crew always appreciated corre- spondence from loved ones and friends.

According to Maldivian legend, a Sinhalese prince and his bride, the daugh- ter of the King of Sri Lanka, honey- mooned in a Maldivian lagoon. He liked it so much he decided to stay on to rule as the first Sultan. The islands were gov- erned as a sultanate from 1153 to 1968 with two exceptions - 15 years of Portu- guese rule in the 16th century and a short- lived republican government in 1953. Over the centuries, the islands were visited and inf1uenced by sailors from countries bor- dering the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean littorals. Mopla pirates from the Malabar Coast long harassed the Mal- dives. In the 16th century, the islands were plagued by Portuguese raiders, who were eventually driven away by the war- rior-patriot Mohammed Al-Azan. In No- vember 1968, the sultanate was abolished, and the country assumed its present name, Republic of Maldives. The Maldives are a chain of 19 atolls extending 500 miles from north to south. The atolls are comprised of 1,200 coral islands each smaller than five square miles. About 200 of the 1,200 islands are inhabited, and only 33 have more than 1,000 people. The greatest concentration of the population is on the capital island, Male. Though most islands are uninhabit- ed, there is little room for expansion be- cause fresh water and farmland are scarce. Islam is the official religion, and the offi- cial language is Dhivehi, but English is widely spoken. The Maldivian economy is based on fishing, tourism, and shipping. 51 k? ..F,,. .lf '--' N X N' x MM2 Kacmarcik relaxes on the beach.

I II Diego Garcia Footprint Of Freedom Known as the Footprint of Freedom due to its geography and association with both Great Britain and the United States, this tiny island in the Chagos Archipelago was home to Battle Group DELTA for part of our deployment. With beautiful beaches, a tropical setting and warm weather, who could want more? For the off duty WORDEN sailor, Diego Garcia boast- ed lots of water sports such as swimming, snor- keling, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and just laying out on the beach. The gymnasium of- fered weight-lifting and basketball. There were playing fields for soccer and softball games. The library was small but adequate. Addition- ally, DGar had a four lane bowling alley, bicy- cles for rent, a phone exchange, a post office to mail home all those goodies purchased on WESTPAC, a bookstore and an exchange to satisfy the need to spend our hard earned cash. Speaking of cash, there was even a Navy Feder- al Credit Union, but none of the electronic Wizardry of the twentieth century. With sever- al time zone differences and the vast distances, finding out your current balance took at least a day and depositing your pay check consisted of asking the teller for an envelope to mail your deposit to Subic Bay. Thereis a satellite dish on the island and it did make same day television coverage of the world events possible. Diego Garcia has a large runway capable of handling the biggest cargo planes which spelled mail call. That alone would have made being tied to the pier in DGar bearable. That was the problem. It could, but it didn't. It was just a gentle reminder that we were on the other side of the world. Still, we were on land and the clubs were providing a semi-cold beer to drown our sorrows in. lt really wasn't that bad after all.

The ancient desert city of Dilman was in exis- tence over 4,000 years before the birth of Christ. A major contribu- tor to the world's supply of oil, Bahrain is also known for its pearls. The 400,000 Bahrainis are mostly Arab Muslims. Under an agreement with Allied Forces in 1977, Bahrain allows the U.S. Middle East Force to maintain an Administrative Support Unit QASUJ for ships that call upon Bahraini facilities. ASU offered WORDEN a mecca of American culture - clubs and lounges, beer and pizza, video games, swimming pools, tennis court, a movie theater and gym. Most of the crew found their way to the souq, a conglomeration of small shops. Gold, textiles, rugs, perfumes, and cassette tapes were the most popular items. Purchasing was not difficult as the merchants spoke fluent English and willing to bar- gain. Though we had been briefed on the pecularities of Muslim customs, the Bahrain we saw was quite Westernized. The auto- mobiles were high-class luxury items like Porsches and Mercedes. Fast food outlets like Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and Hardees were all just a corner away. Still, desert headdresses, wom- en draped from head to toe in black, and the weekend falling on Thursday and Friday, reminded us that we were a long way from home. or ?..,X X Bahrain . X X HW h If ,.

Determined to do something to ease the plight of the disadvan- taged, the Navy established a program through which donations of clothing, medical supplies, books, etc., from our country would be transported on Navy ships to the needy in foreign lands. Initially generated by a handful of Navymen working on their own during off-duty hours, the program has since evolved into an official and Navy-wide humanitarian endeavor. During our port visit to Bombay, India, WORDEN crewmembers h h had the opportunity to participate in Project Handclasp. Alt oug Project Handclasp is an official program, it is largely unfunded and is completely reliant on individuals, service and religious organiza- ' ' d d t tions and industry for donation of materials and money nee e o carry out its mission. On the first day, GMCCSWJ Mark Holliday, NCMSWJ Chris Parrish and STGCCSWJ Dan Montgomery met with a representa- tive of The Jai Vakeel School for Children in Need of Special Care, hool for the mentally handicapped. At a glance it was obvious a sc that they would be providing much needed technical expertise to ' ' ' f th restore and repair antiquated equipment. After a tour o e unds it was determined that the top priorities would be restora- gro tion of the children's playground area and repair of the plumbing. ' - -9 l d d the Early the next morning, volunteers from E 1 to E oa e many boxes of donations and supplies and headed for the school. A t' from the school's staff greeted WORDEN sailors. warm recep ion Without wasting time they quickly formed two teams and went to . . d f. work. One team replaced pipes, plugged leaks, and tightene it- d h ond team sanded primed and painted the play- tings, an t e sec , ground equipment with bright cheerful colors. Lunch time rolled around quickly and the staff presented a deli ' al consisting of many native dishes. With a room full of cious me hungry sailors, there were no leftovers. After lunch work was re- l d. E ne sumed and shortly before dusk, the task was comp ete veryo thered around to donate the 951,000 to the school which was then ga collected prior to entering port. The work completed and the contri- butions of money and supplies were greatly appreciated by the school. As the volunteers departed, they left with a warm feeling of h' hared and returned, and a sense of having taken part in fellows ip s a worthy cause, helping the less fortunate. Project Handclasp was a huge success. 65 ri ' Q, 11 fl? 'R ix Z, -N asm ggx ur . ft 'N 1 .Oi Q1 ,ff W? K gf fa lw IV, ,,, Q I WW M23 VW, :if 'W' 5, ' ' H , , Q 3 ' .

The crew consumed 14,700 pounds of hamburger, 5,000 pounds of hot dogs, 22,500 loaves of bread. The scullery queens washed about 985,000 dishes, glasses and utensils. Can you guess how many sodas we drank? Would you believe 138,000? Keeping those soda machines filled was no skate job for the SHS. The barber provided over 5,000 haircuts, the laundry washed 108,000 pounds of clothes, and the SKS processed 6,000 requisitions and spent a total of 351,400,000 during the cruise. The ship made it home safely but our budget died somewhere in the Persian Gulf. The DK's paid us over 352,000,000 in cash. That's some paycheck. Too bad it had to be divided 400 ways and spread out over six months. n 1 , , 1? . ri H A ,,- Ji ' 2 , 1-P ' ' f- . R ' fi 4-f14f . iff. . . , n I- -,., ,fait ,, ' ,, K' -I.
