Bailey RD3 1960 to 1962 SHIPMATES, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS OF THE USS HAYNSWORTH DD-700 COMMITTEE, WELCOME TO THE 2018 ISSUE OF THE HAYNSWORTH NEWSLETTER. Chris and I are pleased to announce that we are working with Williamsburg,Virginia venues to host the 29th USS Haynsworth . Williamsburg was a day tour at our 2005 reunion at Norfolk, VA. A short day tour is not a sufficient time to fully take in and enjoy the history of Williamsburg and participate in the on-site events that depict life in the ‘Colonies’ of that period. If it is possible for anyone attending this reunion and you have younger relatives, especially school age children, this reunion would be the one you would want to bring them to. Some activities you can attend are in the photo’s below. A ride in a real stage coach A court drama about real trials of the 1700’s ! A ‘witch’ trial from court documents. Evening show of Benjamin Franklins ‘Glass Harmonica’. SO, BRING THE CHILDREN. THERE’S ALSO ‘BUSHGARDEN’S AMUSEMENT PARK! (Many School’s will give excused absences for educational trips.) 1959 ‘INLAND SEA’s CRUISE.

THE HAYNSWORTH by LT MALCOLM KENYON, 1969-1970 The pinnacle of my Naval career was to be Chief Engineer of the USS Haynsworth (DD-700), a 2250-ton destroyer, veteran of the Okinawa campaign, home ported during her last years on Pelican Island at Galveston, Texas. did not exist in 1900, but accreted later from dredge spoils dumped around the old quarantine moorage at the mouth of the HoustonShip Canal. The island was a flat featureless wasteland of crushed dusty white oyster shell, never fully recognized as a part of Texas. TODD Shipyards Corporation had a yard there. were water moccasins ans rattlesnakes just beyond the parking lot, making walking after dark totally insane and daylight strolls circumspect. No one wanted to walk there anyway since there was nothing to see. (C0ntinued on page 6 ) MAIL BAG April/May, 2018 page 4 Left to right: ? ; Frank Cavallaro; Louie Lowman; ? ; ? .

E-MAIL BAG April/May, 2018 page 5 (Editors comment on the following contribution from USS Haynsworth Committee President- Harvey N. Bailey RD3/c ’60 – ’62. The following article was penned by; James A. Lyons, ADM, USN (Ret.) Article was posted on Wednesday, September 6, 2017., [I agree with the following analysis/opinion.]) I am sharing this with the shipmates who have not had access to this article that was distributed to all shipmates that do have e-mail. Any received comments will be included in the next newsletter providing that the contributing shipmate(s) give permission to post their replies.) ANALYSIS/OPINION: (by James A. Lyons, (ADM RET. Cmdr. CINC Pacific) The U.S. Navy’s loss of two sophisticated, key anti-ballistic-missile-capable destroyers within a matter of several weeks is symptomatic of a much larger issue. The fact that these highly maneuverable ships were ‘steaming’ independently and collided with two civilian merchant ships, which was clearly avoidable, demands drastic corrective action. A recent directive by the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson, calling for a top-to-bottom review by all levels of the Navy’s command structure is a step in the right direction. Areas most likely to be reviewed include the current size of the Navy and an assessment of ots impact on force deployments, operational tempo as well as lack of time for required maintenance. Certainly, current training procedures and how personnel are qualified to perform critical bridge watch-standing duties, as well as in combat information center, must be examined. While these are key areas to review, the Navy has always had long deployments and overworked crews, neither of which affected fundamental seamanship on operating our ships. However, I am sure that eliminating of the Surface Warfare OfficerSchool will be highlighted as a contributing factor.

The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

SEE INSERT TO ORDER CHANCES ($2.00 each) NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS! The 2012 Haynsworth Reunion will be held at Albany New York. September 19 to 23, 2012, at the Crown Plaza Albany NY Last year’s Musical Ship’s Wheel, 2011 Reunion Clock was a huge success and highly desired raffle Clock. Based on the responses received, I selected a similar clock for our 2012 Reunion in Albany New York. This Particular clock called “The Americana” plays 18 tunes: America the beautiful; My Country ‘Tis of Thee; Battle Hymn of the Republic; You’re a Grand Old Flag; When the Saints Go Marching In; She wore a Yellow Ribbon; Amazing Grace; In the Garden; Ave Maria,(Hail Mary); How Great Thou art; Jesus Love Me; What a Friend We Have in Jesus; and 6 Christmas melodies; The First Noel; Jingle Bells; Silent Night; Deck the Halls; Joy to the World; and lastly, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The shape is OVAL and 21” high by16” wide. The clock also has a light sensor so the music is not played at night.(so it doesn’t wake you up). On the hour, the clock Face opens and reveals a revolving patriotic display. There is an open window at the bottom of the clock revealing a pendulum movement. The frame of the clock is beautifully finished wood. See last year’s winner, Norm Schultz (44-45) inside this issue.
