BACKGROUND The USS Wichita (AOR-1) was the first ship in a class of seven replenishment oilers specifically built for the U.S. Navy during the Cold War. The navy based the design of the Wichita on the USS Sacramento (AOE-1), a fast combat support ship that provided logistics for an battle group (CV). The Wichita was a smaller version of the USS Sacramento and designed to function as a one-stop resupply vessel for an anti- warfare group (ASW). The Wichita carried less cargo, had a smaller crew, and traveled at a reduced speed, which suited the needs of the ASW units since they were centered on modified Essex class carriers (CVS).1 Although the U.S. Navy designed the Wichita class for a specific mission, it also utilized the class as an economical alternative to the larger and more expensive AOEs. The U.S. Navy soon recognized the limitations of the AOR when it was attached to a carrier task force (CV), and the end of the Cold War signaled its early retirement as the ASW missions became less critical.2

The development of a one-stop resupply vessel began in earnest during the Korean War as the U.S. Navy identified shortcomings in its tactical pursuit, most notably in (UNREP). The attack carriers were spending every fourth day away from the battlefront to take on supplies. During replenishment by merchant ships, ammunition had to be broken out twenty-four hours in advance and stored on the upper , which was hazardous in inclement weather. In addition, the resupply ships experienced a high rate of booms breaking down when transferring goods, known as “tight lining.” These issues resulted in Adm. William M. Fechteler, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), convening a conference to address the issues with UNREP in 1952 in San Francisco. The conference laid the groundwork for the development of new support ships. To compensate for boom failures, a U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships research project examined developing a counterweight inside a kingpost to tension the line at a predetermined weight even as the ship rolled, pitched, or yawed in the sea. Problems persisted even with the new system, however, and it was ultimately replaced by the pneumatic ram-tensioner.3

The navy also activated the Dithmarschen, a German combination oiler and supply vessel the United States had received in 1946 from the Inter-Allied Reparations Commission. The Dithmarschen had operated in the Norwegian fjords as a supply ship carrying ammunition, fuel, and stores during World War II. The U.S. Navy renamed the vessel the Conecuh (AOR-110) and converted it into a replenishment fleet in September 1952. The Conecuh’s performance during extensive testing impressed naval officials, who began to discuss designing the U.S. Navy’s first multi-product ship. Adm. (CNO) called for another underway replenishment conference in 1957 to assess the state of the fleet. It was brought to his attention that the ships participating in UNREP had not made any significant gains since the last conference, and that new systems for resupplying ships needed to be developed. The success of the Conecuh’s operations convinced Admiral Burke that a

Murphy, “The Development of the U.S. Navy Underway Replenishment Fleet,” SNAME Transactions 95 (1987): p. 138. 3 Miller, et al., “Development of the U.S. Navy,” pp. 126-128. WICHITA HAER No. CA-356 Page 4

review of the design should be undertaken. Eventually, the navy hired Bethlehem Shipbuilding to integrate the design of the Conecuh into a new supply ship for the fleet that combined the roles of oiler, , and store ship in one vessel.4

Bethlehem Shipbuilding’s Central Technical Office in conjunction with Admiral Burke’s staff created a draft for the fast combat support ship (AOE) and submitted it to the U.S. Navy for review. The resulting AOE “was the first UNREP ship to fully integrate the mission (supporting an aircraft carrier task force) with the UNREP ship design.”5 After several modifications by the Bureau of Ships, the U.S. Navy laid the keel of the Sacramento (AOE- 1) on 30 June 1961 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. This was the first ship in the class of four AOEs specifically designed from the keel up to provide logistical support for an aircraft carrier battle group (CV). The Sacramento entered service on 14 March 1964. Traveling at 26 knots, the ship could maintain station with the battle group. It carried 5.2 million gallons of marine fuel, 2.7 million gallons of aviation fuel, 6,000 tons of ammunition, 300 tons of refrigerated stores, 500 tons of dry stores, and 150 tons of various fleet supplies. During underway replenishment missions, the ship could resupply a carrier on its port side and a screening vessel on its starboard side, as well as transfer fuel and supplies simultaneously. The ship performed faster than using three separate ships, and the design saved money, both in construction and operating expenditures.6

WICHITA CLASS During the mid-1960s, the Essex-class aircraft carriers were modified for antisubmarine warfare (ASW). The auxiliary replenishment oilers (AORs) were developed at the same time as one-stop UNREP support vessels for the Essex class. The Wichita class was based on the Sacramento but was two-thirds the size of the AOE and slower to suit the needs of the ASW warfare group since ASW warfare did not require large amounts of ammunition or speed. The Wichita class consequently had an economical design and lower operating costs since it required a smaller crew.7

When the AORs went into service in the Vietnam War replenishing the carrier strike groups, the officers in command noted deficiencies in the design that prevented them from serving as low-cost alternatives to the AOEs. The ammunition capacities and transfer stations were not suited for the attack carrier, but the convenience of friendly bases in the region and the operating area of the carriers did not hamper UNREP operations. The U.S. Navy again

See Appendix A for a comparison between the AOE and the single product ships. 7 Miller, et al., “Development of the U.S. Navy,” p. 138; Thomas Wildenberg, Gray Steel and Black Oil: Fast Tankers and Replenishment at Sea in the US.

Baer, One Hundred Years of Sea Power: The U.S. Navy 1890-1990 (Stanford, CA: Sanford University Press, 1994), pp. 338, 348. During the development phase of the AOR, U.S. naval doctrine was based on containment policy, meaning the navy’s role was to surround the Soviet Union with offensive forces and the blue water in between (power projection and sea control). WICHITA HAER No. CA-356 Page 5

recognized the limitations of the AORs during Persian Gulf operations at the time of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. In that theater, the nearest friendly base was Diego Garcia, which was 4,000 miles away, and senior commanders noted the AORs deficient speed and cargo capacities.8

The role for which the Wichita had been designed changed in the post-Vietnam War era. The defense department experienced large budget cuts, and the U.S. Navy sought to minimize the effects by retiring some of the older vessels. The expensive Essex-class carriers used for ASW missions were cut back as the navy’s doctrine shifted from sea control to power projection. Eventually, the navy decommissioned the Essex class, and the AORs began to replenish the carrier battle groups in the fleet. After another wave of budget cuts hit the military at the end of the Cold War, the navy retired the Wichita class in the early 1990s.9

CONSTRUCTION The U.S. Navy awarded the Wichita contract to General Dynamics’ Fore River Yard in Quincy, Massachusetts, on 2 June 1965. Thomas Watson had opened the shipyard in 1901 as the Fore River Engine Company.10 The property was 10 miles south of Boston near Quincy and occupied 111 acres along the Fore River. The company changed hands in 1913 when Bethlehem Steel bought it. Bethlehem Steel operated a successful shipbuilding business until 1963 when a budgetary crisis forced its sale to General Dynamics Corporation. In 1981, the federal government ended its shipyard subsidy program, and the shipyard began to suffer financially as a result. General Dynamics launched its last ship in 1986 after constructing six ships in the Wichita class. National Steel and Shipbuilding Company in , California, built the last one: the USS Roanoke.11

DESCRIPTION The Wichita measured 658' long overall with a breadth of 96' and 33'-3" draft. The hull was steel, as was the superstructure. The ship maintained a raked bow, stern, and two islands, including a forward conning station and an aft deckhouse. For added stability, the design incorporated bilge keels on the port and starboard sides of the hull and a skeg at the stern that followed the keel outward. The American Bureau of Shipping rated the vessel at 37,360 gross tons, and it displaced 13,662 tons of water. The twin-screw propulsion plant generated 32,000 shaft horsepower to propel the vessel at 20 plus knots.12

The machinery spaces were divided into three separate watertight areas. The aft fire room contained three Foster and Wheeler boilers that provided steam for the main turbines and auxiliary equipment. The working steam pressure was 700 psi at 850 degrees Fahrenheit. Each boiler had three Todd burners for combustion. In the forward machinery room, there were two General Electric turbines on the port and starboard sides. Each turbine utilized high and low pressures for maximum efficiency, and a General Electric double reduction gear stepped the shaft revolutions down to 105 rpm (maximum power). Two General Dynamic service generators rated at 450 volts were located on the upper platforms. The aft steering compartment housed two Western Gear electric-hydraulic rams that were double- opposed and turned each rudder simultaneously.13

Most of the space on board the Wichita was devoted to carrying petroleum products. The ship could carry 7,100,000 gallons of cargo fuel, including aviation gas, JP-5 (jet propellant), and marine fuel. The tanks varied in size and ran forward from the machinery area up to frame 25. Saddle tanks also protected the two cargo weapon spaces deep within the hull. A sophisticated control center above the aft pump room contained a control panel that remotely managed all the gates, pumps, and valves in the aft and forward pump rooms during underway replenishment evolutions.14

The remaining cargo space was devoted to ammunition, dry and refrigerated stores, and fleet supplies. The capacity plan for the Wichita allowed for 66,500 cubic feet of ammunition, 61,500 cubic feet of dry stores, and 15,000 cubic feet of refrigerated stores. There were two ammunition spaces: one forward of frame 59 and the other forward of frame 44. The aft weapons space was three decks deep while the forward one was two decks deep. An elevator passed through each space, and the crew used fork trucks to move the palletized ammunition up and out to the main deck for transfer. The second deck contained the rest of the storerooms, and a long corridor stretched between the two islands for the fork trucks. The refrigerated rooms were aft (port and starboard sides), and the dry store cargo room ran forward (port and starboard). A third elevator in the aft end allowed the fork trucks to carry palletized stores up and outside to the main deck. It also extended to the mezzanine deck, which allowed the fork trucks to drop off cargo on the stern helicopter pad so the ship’s helicopter could pick up and deliver cargo to the receiving ship. The Wichita carried two Sea Knight helicopters for vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operations, which were stored in the aft deckhouse on the port and starboard sides of the 02 level. A vertical conveyor inside the starboard hangar could carry an 85-pound package from the second deck to the mezzanine deck for VERTREP delivery.15

The forward house contained a sea cabin and rooms that contributed to the safe navigation of the ship. The navigation bridge was in the forward house at the 03 level. The bridge was

modern and contained the latest navigation equipment, including a compass, engine order telegraph, fathometer, gyro repeater, helm, and radar. Behind the bridge was the chart room and off to the sides were the bridge wings complete with peloruses. Below the pilothouse were two more starboard rooms used to operate the ship: the radar room and the command information center (CIC). The captain’s sea cabin was to the port side of the radar room. Adjacent to this cabin was the navigation department office and on the far side of the port bulkhead was an operations office. The gyro room was inside the ship on the first platform, slightly forward of the amidships line.16

The 01 level in the forward house included berthing for senior officers serving on the ship. In the center of the house were two large cabins for the captain and commander of the underway replenishment group. Their staterooms were off the centerline, with the commander on the port side and the captain on the starboard side. The galley for both officers was aft of their rooms. More staterooms for senior officers were on the aft bulkhead and on the far port side.17

Ship offices, storerooms, and workrooms were in the deckhouse on the main deck. On the main deck of the forward house were a variety of communication spaces, including the cryptographic room used for decoding and encoding message traffic, the radio transmitter room, and radio central. Forward of the communication center was the first class lounge while off to the port and starboard sides were various storerooms and offices.18

The aft house contained a majority of the crew berthing spaces, the galley and mess rooms, offices, and storerooms. A majority of the space on board the ship was for the enlisted crew. The ship accommodated 398 enlisted personnel and twenty-two officers. The crew’s berthing was stacked three high on the 01 level and main deck. The galley was on the main deck above the engineer room with the crew mess hall directly aft. Cooks served the sailors cafeteria style, and a scullery was towards the rear of the mess. The chief petty officer’s mess room and wardroom were on the 01 level, located on the forward port and starboard sides. The offices and storerooms were on the 01 level in rooms on the centerline and the port side of the ship. Communal showers and washrooms were located beside the living spaces, while the officer rooms had private ones.19

Good health was important in the confined ship, so space was allocated for a doctor and medical staff. To treat patients for both minor and major maladies, there was a doctor’s office and evaluation room on the 01 level near the stern that was equipped with an X-ray machine. Located in front of this office was an operating room and surgical dressing room. There was also a lab and pharmacy for diagnosing illnesses and prescribing medicine. Due

to the size of the crew, there were seven wardrooms with bunks for patient recovery, and the medical staff had accompanying rooms.20

Morale was another important aspect of ship life, so there was space in which the crew could relax. An ice cream bar, library, post office, recreation room, and ship’s store were located on the main deck near the stern. Crew members could relax in this section of the ship and purchase personal items. Movies could be relayed through closed circuit televisions from the motion picture equipment room on designated movie nights. The ship also had a barbershop and laundry department in the stern area of the second deck.21

To protect the ship against attack, there were four twin mounted 3"/50 caliber guns, two forward mounts on the bow directly in front of the house on the port and starboard sides, and two more on the stern 03 level, off the sides of the exhaust stack. Mk 56 gun directors, one forward and one aft, controlled each gun mount automatically. The gun director control room was beneath each mount, as was an ammunition store room. In the early 1980s, the navy modernized the ship by installing two Phalanx CIWS (Close In Weapons System), built by General Dynamics, on the bow and one Mk 29 Sea Sparrow missile launcher on the stern, built by General Dynamics and Raytheon.22

The Wichita carried motor boats and life rafts that could safely accommodate all the personnel onboard. There were two 40' utility craft (seventy-five-person), two 26' motor whaleboats (twenty-two-person), and two 26' personnel craft (twenty-person). All the boats were located on the main deck and could be picked up and lowered into the water by a 20,000-pound cargo boom located at deck frame 52. The motor whaleboats were attached to self-lowering cradles. In case of sinking, the ship was equipped with twenty-seven static release life rafts (fifteen-person) that were capable of carrying the entire ship.23

The Wichita’s crew performed general maintenance while underway and could conduct minor repairs. The boatswain storerooms were in the bow and stern of the ship, and there was a small repair area in the stern of the ship on the second deck. Crew in the mechanical and electric shops completed small tasks to keep the machinery operable for each department. Major repairs required the ship to dock in port.24

UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT TECHNIQUES Initially, the U.S. Navy used the Fast Automatic Shuttle Transfer (FAST), developed in the early 1960s, in its UNREP operations. FAST was difficult to maintain, however, and the navy developed Standard Tensioned Replenishment Alongside Method (STREAM) as an alternative in the mid-1970s. The navy retained one component of the FAST system, the pneumatic ram tensioner, which was a device that kept a highline wire tensioned at a

20 Booklet of General Plans, plate 7. 21 Booklet of General Plans, plates 7, 8, 9. 22 Booklet of General Plans, plates 3, 5, 7. 23 Booklet of General Plans, plates 2, 8. 24 Booklet of General Plans, plates 7, 8, 9. WICHITA HAER No. CA-356 Page 9

predetermined weight. The ram tensioner would compensate for the movement between the two ships when they rolled, pitched, or yawed by paying out or taking in line through the movement of a vertical ram piston. The STREAM method used trolleys that traveled along the highline to deliver products.25

The Wichita used two version of the STREAM method: one for fuel and the other for cargo. During refueling operations, a flexible hose measuring 7" in diameter with a male probe on one end was carried by trolleys along the highline by means of a span wire attached to a winch. When it reached the receiving ship, the probe would slide into a coupling and lock into place. The Wichita’s pumps could transfer 180,000 gallons of fuel per hour to the receiving ship, and there were four fueling stations on each side. The STREAM cargo transfer method worked in a similar manner by using a single trolley riding a highline back and forth as it carried a palletized load of cargo. There was a double-headed winch with one head paying out line and the other head taking it in to control the movement of the load. The Wichita also used a sliding block that lifted the highline up for the load to clear the rail as it traveled on the trolley. The receiving ship had a sliding block as well, and it lowered the load down for personnel to detach and store the cargo. There were two cargo stations on the port side and two on the starboard side. The ship’s personnel managed the cargo movement through enclosed winch control stations.26

OPERATIONAL HISTORY On 7 June 1969, General Dynamics delivered the Wichita to the U.S. Navy. At the commissioning ceremony, Mrs. Howard B. Yeager christened the ship, and Capt. Robert B. Deibler took command. The ship set sail for the Boston Naval Shipyard for the final machinery installation. On 17 June, the ship departed for the new homeport of Long Beach, California. The Wichita made ports-of-call in the at San Juan and Guantanamo before transiting the and heading to the West Coast. After arriving in Long Beach, the Wichita remained in port for four months while the navy modified the equipment. After the fitting out, the Wichita underwent sea trials and training cruises in December. The navy conducted further tests in February 1970 that lasted for two months. After shakedown, the ship sailed to join the fleet on 22 June for its first deployment.27

The Wichita joined the Seventh Fleet on 4 July and made a port-of-call at Subic Bay before heading to the coast of Vietnam to support naval forces operating against North Vietnam. The ship made five UNREP stops and took on supplies at Subic Bay to complete the missions. After each replenishment stop, the Wichita made liberty calls in the and two port calls in Hong Kong. As the first deployment ended, the ship returned to Long

Beach on 2 February 1971 and spent six months operating off the West Coast conducting resupply missions as well as ports-of-call.28

On 7 August 1971, the Wichita set sail for Subic Bay and arrived on 24 August to rejoin the Seventh Fleet on its second deployment to the Far East. At the end of August, the ship began provisioning the battle group operating off the coast of Vietnam. The Wichita continued operating off Vietnam and made a port-of-call in Sattahip, Thailand, towards the end of October. The ship continued its normal duties in November but was redirected on 10 December and assigned to a task force heading towards the Indian Ocean to observe the Indo-Pakistani War and react if necessary. The Wichita returned to the coast of Vietnam in early January 1972 and began regular duty supplying the battle group that was participating in the war. The ship continued resupplying the fleet until February as it set sail for Long Beach for an overhaul. On 31 March, the Wichita arrived home and went to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard for repairs.29

After completing the yard visit, the Wichita returned to the Philippines on 17 July and arrived in Subic Bay on 4 August 1972. The ship resumed underway replenishment duties off the coast of Vietnam and remained in the operational area for the next six months. In Subic Bay, the Wichita’s holds were stocked, and the ship traveled back and forth to the battle group. The ship made ports-of-call in Hong Kong and Sattahip before returning to the United States on 16 March 1973. The end of the ship’s deployment marked the closing stages of American operations in the Vietnam War.30

After the war, the Wichita continued to support the Seventh Fleet, traveling between the West Coast of the United States and the Far East. The first tour lasted six months as the ship resupplied the fleet off the West Coast. For its next assignment, the navy sent the Wichita to the Indian Ocean, where it operated with a carrier task force from the Seventh Fleet supplying the group. The Wichita returned to its homeport at Long Beach on 26 March 1974, remaining in port for a short time before heading out to sea and operating off the West Coast. On 28 June, the navy moved the Wichita back to the Long Beach Naval Shipyard for repairs, and it remained in the shipyard for ten months.31

After the refit, the navy changed the Wichita’s homeport to San Francisco on 24 January 1975. The ship went on a shakedown cruise beginning 28 January and continued south for a port-of-call in Acapulco, . The Wichita returned to San Diego for training and reached San Francisco on 4 April. The ship remained in port for a month to prepare for deployment to the Far East before sailing on 12 April 1997. The Wichita arrived at the forward base in Subic Bay on 4 May. The orders changed after 26 July, and the ship began operating in the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan from bases at Sasebo and Yokosuka to assist the Seventh Fleet in its operations. The Wichita left Yokosuka on 6 November and set

After four months operating off the West Coast, the ship headed into the Pacific for a multi- national training mission known as RIMPAC. During this time, the ship made ports-of-call along the west coast of the United States and Canada before heading into the Pacific to take part in RIMPAC 78. The Wichita made a short liberty call in Pearl Harbor in early April 1978, participated in more exercises, and returned to Pearl Harbor at the end of the month, which coincided with the end of RIMPAC. On 2 November, the Wichita sailed to Hunters Point, California, for a nine-month refit at Triple A Shipyard and returned to Alameda. From May 1979 to March 1980, the Wichita underwent a shakedown cruise and refresher training, in the process earning the coveted Battle Efficiency Award.33

CONCLUSION Critical to the success of the U.S. Navy is its auxiliary fleet, which provides a multitude of services that keep operating. Since their inception in , underway replenishment vessels have been a vital component of the U.S. Navy. The Wichita is significant as the first of seven ships designated as AORs in the U.S. Navy and represents evolving UNREP operations. The Wichita class, including the Wichita, currently resides in the National Defense Reserve Fleet in Suisun Bay, California, awaiting disposal.
