EFFICIENCY PLUS ABILITY
The two destroyers Wasmuth and Perry, now in
port, as well as 42 others of the Battle Fleet and all
destroyers of the Atlantic Fleet, were put into commis
sion during the last fewT months at San Diego, Calif.,
having been decommissioned shortly after the World
War and tied up at the Destroyer Base, San Diego.
The last ship ran up her commission pennant on July
25 of this year.
While the U. S. S. McCawley was undergoing an
nual overhau1 last September cracks were discovered!
in the mud drums of her boilers and immediately in-!
spection of the boilers of all destroyers was ordered j
bv Chief of Naval Operations with the result that near-;
ly all boilers were found to be defective.
The Navy Department ordered Rear Admiral j
Thos. J. Senn, Commander Destroyer Squadrons, Bat
tle Fleet, to recommission mates for the ships found to
be unfitted for service with only the help of the forces
afloat. Captain L. L. Hunter, commanding the Was-;
muth, was the Squadron's Personnel Officer during
the resultant period of selecting officers and men for
■ he highly skilled work required to modernize the old
ships, which had lain at the base for nearly 11 years.
Such an opportunity for officers and men to take
down their ship and build it up again is seldom had as
the intricate wiring of fire control instruments, bal
ancing of guns and turbines, installation of compasses I
and aligning of propeller shafts is usually done at a|
Navy Yard by men who have spent many years upon
such work and who have instruments and machinery |
ro work with suitable to the task. But with the usual
Navv spirit, the personnel came thru with flying colors
and * proved that the ability to achieve the seemingly j
impossible did not go out of existence with the remov-1
al of our early pioneers.
It is estimated that this task would have required
rwo years if undertaken at Navy Yards. The blue
jackets completed it in less than a year, with a tremen
dous saving to the government, taking needed parts j
from the ship going "out of commission and installing |
it. on the new7.
It has often been said that Sailors are always.
“Ready for a fight or a frolic” but none have mention-1
ed their ability to transform themselves into a ship
building force*and turn out work envied by the best
mechanicians and technicians.
“SINBAD THE SAILOR”
The Gateway wishes to take this opportunity of;
thanking Chas. K. Warrington (Sinbacl the Sailor) ;
for his great assistance to this paper during the pleas
ant stay here of the two destroyers officers and crews.
In assisting in recording local happenings “Sinbad”
has done wonderfully well and from the may comments
made, “Sinbad’s” writing went over big.. We thank.
Yeoman Warrington’s commanding officer for his |
valuable services and will bid him farewell with regret, j
Fortunately for President Hoover, his vacation itin
erary does not require ratification by the Senate.
A scientist says most successful men are short.
And all unsuccessful ones are.
Now that the debunkers have had a long inning,
it is time that they should be debunked.
Many who consider themselves leaders will follow j
a little golf ball all day.
