These are a few of the many words passed and acted on daily by the busy Yosemite deck crew. Comprised of First and Second Divisions, Deck Department maintains nearly all topside deck and hull areas on the ship, as well as all ship s boats. In port during the cruise, Deck Dept. worked outside under all weather conditions to keep Yosemite looking sharp, and the liberty boats running on schedule. At sea the bosuns mates manned the vital bridge stations including helmsman, lee helm, and lookout. In addition, the voices of the BMOWS became as familiar to us as any disc jockey as they kept us informed over the ship s public address system. That the Captain and crewmen were repeatedly complimented about Yosemite s appearance is a tribute to the drive and professionalism of Mr. Sowers and his men.

The generous people at WSLR provided us with numerous entertainment bargains dur- ing the deployment, including half-price tours of Rome, Athens, Pompeii, Montserratt, Palermo, Taor- mina, and many others. They also picked up the tab for division parties in Augusta Bay, as well as the bus trans- portation. And don't forget the Weed-patch bar in Au- gusta Bay either.

Deploying with an acute manpower shortage, the radiomen neverthe- less efficiently handled the receipt and transmission of thousands of pieces of radio trafic. With constant com- munications always a necessity, the small division manned their stations 24-hours-a-day, every single day of the cruise. Naturally, liberty was a rare luxury for them. ln addition to Yosemite's traffic, Radio took the guard for ships alongside as well, adding an even greater workload and responsibility. M 4, !

Working in the ship's 'cbasementfl the Weps people are responsible for the repair and mainte- nance of various types of Asrocs and torpedos, and in the Med for the Weapons logistics support of the Sixth Fleet destroyer force. When one of their frequent transfers came due, up came the mess deck and out came the Weapons. The skill and care of all the Weapons people is demon- strated by the absolutely clean safety record maintained in Mayport and the Mediterranean.

But despite the average man's fear of dental work, YOSEMITE sailors could look forward to their sessions in the dental chair with the confidence that they would be handled by real pros. Cap- able of handling nearly every dental problem, YOSEMITE's tooth menders provided assistance to all ships that came alongside. They showed that Repair Department wasnit the only one who could earn a kudo. FROM: Senior Dental Officer, NAF Sigonella, Sicily TO: Commanding Officer, USS YOSEMITE I would like to thank CDR Kravets for his superb effort in treating the many patients referred from the dental department for oral surgery.

For once we were completely free to relax and play tourist. As one of the best cities for shopping in the Med, Barcelona was just the right place to pick up those last-minute Christmas gifts for the folks back home. Statues of Don Quixote, and carved chess sets quickly filled the lockers next to the tapestries and cameos from Naples, the jewelry from Palma, and the antiques from Athens. And of course the Barcelona night life wasn't bad either. One of the famous Mediterranean landmafksr Cristoforo Colombo points the way to the Rilmb' las CBarcelona's Broadwayj and the bustle Of downtown Barcelona. Y r A. 5 ii, 4 5 fr 92: as W. W TEQQ A 1??

Knight Supply Officer A Navy ship can only be as good as the support it receives. On a tender this is particularly true because good repair work requires an efficient and timely ilow of materials to the various Working shops. Yose- mite's Supply Department proved itself well capable of handling this tough job in the Mediterranean. C ln addition to procuring, storing, and keeping track ol' repair materials, Supply also handled such diverse and important jobs as food preparation and serving QS-2 and S-2-M Divisionsjg ship's stores, vend- ing machines, laundry and dry cleaning KS-3 Divisionlg disbursing LS-4 Divisionlg food preparation for the Wardroom and Warrant's mess, as well as maintenance of Ofiicefs Country CS-5 Divisionj.

S.Snead Chief Engineer If YOSEMITE gave a comeback-of-the-year award for 1974, the hands-down Winner would be the men of Engineering Department. After more than a year of sitting next to the pier in Mayport, the Snipes lighted fires for the Mediterranean and steamed their plant con- tinuously for more than one hundredand fifty days. The Busy Lady travelled over eleven thousand miles in that time without a single major engineering casualty. In addition she often supplied ships alongside with steam and power - all produced by the Engineering Depart- ment. Under the direction of LCDR Snead, Engineering is divided into five separate divisions. B Division is in charge of the ship's boiler system and related matters such as fuel. MH Division covers the machinery of the engine rooms, and on the side its EVAPS gang produces the ship,s drinking water and boiler feed water. En Division stands guard over YOSEMITE'S electrical sys- least, E8LR Division is responsible for solvin an hull f 3 Z 2 S63 UW 1, V DIVISIONS E8tR f 1 ,.Y, .1 f' f -vf . ff 'V ,, ., .

As CONCORD leaves the Sixth Fleet, the splendid support rendered by YOSEMITE needs to be recognized. Time after time CONCORD called on YOSEMITE's repair and medical departments, often with little advanced notice, for assistance. Never once was there a second's hesitation and each time the job or patient was accepted and excellent service provided. The highly professional Work and excep- tional attitude of YOSEMITE's crew are to be commended.
