Bailey RD3, ’60-’62 [email protected] ) Hi Bill,----I was on-board during the Black Sea trip and was wondering if you remember when a shipmate, who suffered from chronic sea sickness, jumped overboard on the starboard side when the Russian Destroyer was in front and to our starboard causing us to turn toward them. I was in radar on the ships headphones when the fantail watch hollered man overboard. He was so excited I had to ask him to repeat what he said. Usually in radar we keep track of other ships movements on the DRT, (dead reckoning tracer), but since we could see the Russian ship there was no need to. We had to hurry and reset the DRT to a scale to track the man overboard plus put some paper on top of the DRT, by this time we were turning to starboard coming close to the Russian ship. We lowered the motor whale boat and picked up the jumper. In radar we also monitored Russian ship and land based radars and recorded them. I also remember spending the night transferring the milk onto our ship so we could make the morning convoy back down the Suez Canal and on to Mombasa, Kenya, crossing the equator, and the initiation to become a trusty shellback. I think a few were disappointed that we had to spend Christmas in Kenya instead of Naples, Italy. There were also some carriers that lost planes that we were plane guarding in the Med. There was another time when we were anchored off of France and some of us took a bus trip to the French Alps, don’t know if you were there or not. There was on shipmate from radar, Hap Hampson, (’59-’62 RD3), who decided to remove the pull chains from the men’s restrooms where we stopped, he ended up with seven or eight chains. Our tour guide asked him to return one chain to one of the hotels because they were related to her, which he did. I talked to him a few years ago and asked him if he still had the pull chains and he said he did but his wife made him take them down since she didn’t like them hanging in the house. (Harv) (Rec’d 12/23/2012, Charles J. Delahanty RM2 ‘61-’63 [email protected] West Seneca, NY) Jim,----Merry Christmas. In response to William W. Washington’s, ( FTG3 ‘61-’62) and Robert “Cham” Light’s comments in the December 2012 Newsletter, I served aboard the “H” from 1961 to 1963. My tour pretty much mirrored the sane 24 months that (Commander) Robert C. Light was in command.----I have provided some additional information about the Med-Cruise 1961-1962. I have attached the Haynsworth Family Gram (see page 4) covering the first 3 months of that cruise,(August to November 1961). I can’t find the other Family Gram covering the last 3 months which included our extended tour in the Red Sea, our emergency milk run to Africa, our Shellback initiation while crossing the equator, and the huge and dangerous storm we encountered while crossing the Atlantic in March ’62, while returning home.---- Hope this helps to fill in some of the blanks for those who served during this Cruise.----P.S. After the first Med-Cruise, there was a second six month cruise to the Med, and of course our involvement in the Cuban Missile Crisis in Oct-Nov ’62. It seemed like we were never home in Norfolk during these 24 months.----//s// Charlie Delahanty RM2/c (Rec’d 1/3/2013 Mrs. Donald R. Messecar, (Margaret) ’44-’45 TM3 D: May, 2006) Dear Mr. Horn,----I am enclosing a check to cover the expense of sending me the newsletter. My husband served on the Haynsworth, (1944-1945 TM3/c). We enjoyed the many reunions we attended over the years. Also, I am enclosing an obituary that was in the Buffalo News regarding a former member of the Haynsworth Crew, (1954-1958) William L. Clayton, (FTSn). We did not know him but some of your members might remember him. (Ed. Note; Thank you Margaret for letting us know of the passing of our shipmate Bill Clayton.). If you want to send my newsletter via the internet my e- mail address is [email protected] . ----Best Regards to our old Friends. Sincerely, //s// Margaret Messecar (Rec’d 1/5/2013) Marion W. Dinninger, ’44-’45 MM2/c [email protected] ) Enclosed is my check for dues. Thanks for sending the newsletter. I was at the reunion in ’06 and one I will always remember. //s// Marion Dinninger, 44-45 MM2/c ****************************************************************************************************************** (Rec’d 1/5/2013, Bob, (Robert J.) Csencitz ’69-’70 SKSn) Dear Jim,----Enclosed is a check for my 2013 dues. Read our recent, (Dec. 2012) newsletter and thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially enjoy the “MAIL BAG”. I enjoyed reading the article on the reunion, (page 8), but part of the list of attendee’s apparently was omitted. It said “continued on page 16). That page was the address label. Could you include this in the next newsletter? I’m curious to see if shipmates from my era attended. I and my brother, Joe (Csencitz, ’69-’70 CS3/c) were on board when the Haynsworth was decommissioned in January, 1970. Keep up the great work! (Ed. Note; Sorry Bob about the error on page 8. The actual continuation of the Reunion information was on page 13. As for the list of attendee’s, that was the complete list as printed on page 8. Only the “Reunion narrative” continued on page 13. There were no shipmates from the period of 1969 to 1970 in attendance. I researched all the reunions going back to 2003 and there were no shipmates from ’69-’70 that attended in that period.

At the close of the nineteenth hardly a vestige of that great empire remained. In 1898 its possessions had dwindled down to the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. A rebellion by the people of Cuba against the rule of Spain had been going on for several years. Governor General Weyler, who represented the Spanish Crown, through the methods he used in trying to put down the rebellion, turned the sympathies of the people of the United States toward the cause of the Cuban revolutionist. "Butcher" Weyler, as he was called, was soundly denounced in this country. While the United States government maintained a "hands off" policy as between Spain and the Cubans, it kept the battleship "Maine" in Havana harbor to be on hand in case of danger to Americans. On February 15, 1398, the "Maine" was blown up and 260 members of her crew killed. Spain was blamed for the destruction of the battleship and the people of the United States became inflamed over the outrage and demanded action be taken to put an end to the trouble in Cuba.

    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

WESTWOOD nCHTING C1TTDC or WORLD World War II was the last of the great naval wars, the culmination of a century of warship development in which steam, steel and finally aviation had been adapted for naval use. The battles, both big and small, of this war are well known, and the names of some of the ships which fought them are still familiar, names like Bismarck, Warspite and Enterprise. This book presents these celebrated fighting ships, detailing both their war- time careers and their design features. In addition it describes the evolution between the wars of the various ship types : how their designers sought to make compromises to satisfy the require - ments of fighting qualities, sea -going capability, expense, and those of the different naval treaties. Thanks to the research of devoted ship enthusiasts, to the opening of government archives, and the publication of certain memoirs, it is now possible to evaluate World War II warships more perceptively and more accurately than in the first postwar decades. The reader will find, for example, how ships in wartime con- ditions did or did not justify the expecta- tions of their designers, admiralties and taxpayers (though their crews usually had a shrewd idea right from the start of the good and bad qualities of their ships). With its tables and chronology, this book also serves as both a summary of the war at sea and a record of almost all the major vessels involved in it.

    NAVAL BATTLE of SANTIAGO DE CUBA BY: FRANCIS T, SIGISMONTI on February 18, 1898 the USS Maine Was Torpedoed and Sunk with a Loss of Over Two Hundred Men

    THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR - NAVAL BATTLE OF SANTIAGO DE CUBA BY: FRANCIS T, SIGISMONTI On February 18, 1898 the USS Maine was torpedoed and sunk with a loss of over two hundred men. Realizing war was imminent the American Fleet had started prep- arations for a conflict as early as January. After the sinking of the Maine, the fleet was ordered to Key West, Florida under the command of Admiral William T. Sampson. Two months later, April twenty-second, President McKinley or- dered a blockade of all major Cuban ports which two days later the Spanish answered with a declaration of war. We reciprocated the next day. The prime objective of the Navy was the Spanish Fleet under Ad- miral Pascual Cervera y Topete. This Spanish Fleet prevented any sort of force from crossing the ninety mile span from Florida to Cuba to engage the Spanish land forces then occupying the area known as the Province of Cienfuegos which included Havana. Another reason for the United States’ concern over Cervera’s fleet was the fact that the entire east coast of the United States was open to attack. In this case they were mistaken as the south- ern portion was closely guarded by the Flying Squadron under Com- modore Schley and the northern portion was too far to travel with- out a suitable means of refueling. An attack on New York City for instance would have been suicide as all their coal would have been expended just getting there. Soon after the blockade was set up in Havana harbor, Commodore Schley met Admiral Sampson to discuss such matters as the disper- sion of ships, blockade procedures and the necessary communications with the Cuban insurgents.

Sailor images from Naval History and Heritage Command, NH 94006 and NH 101116 At the dawn of the 20thwww.steelnavy.org century, the United States Navy was in the midst of a revolutionary technological transformation. The obsolete wooden sailing ships of the post-Civil War Navy, with their underpowered auxiliary steam engines, were swept away, and replaced by steel-hulled warships with powerful steam engines. This New Steel Navy was the first step in the long process that would eventually lead the United States Navy to a position of world dominance. This website examines the lives of the men who made that transformation possible – the officers and enlisted sailors of the Navy. They lived a life that was rugged and frequently dangerous, a life that was transformed by the new technologies of the ships they served on. They fought battles at sea, and even on land. They existed in a physically claustrophobic, yet socially divided world that adhered to naval traditions both old and new. They endured these hardships, and enjoyed brief moments of fun whenever possible. Pay a visit to an often overlooked moment in time, and get to know the sailors of the New Steel Navy.
