1. (u) S-1 Stock Control D iv is ion .

a. (u) The beginning o f 1981 found the S-1 D i v i s i o n hard a t work g e t t i n g ready f o r the upcoming Western P a c i f i c and Indian Ocean deployment. The SRA per iod ended and preparat ions began for the f i r s t o f two work-up cruises. Predeployment conferences were he ld monthly a t COMNAVAIRPAC w i t h the a i rw ing and s h i p ' s company (AIMD and Supply) i n attendance. AVCAL shortages were discussed along w i t h new i tems t o be supported such as A7 FLIR, SH-3H he lo w i t h the new TACNAV systems and the SLEP MD3 Tow Tractor f o r GSE. A f t e r the work-up c ru ises which were he ld i n January and February, t he ship entered the pre-deployment pe r iod f o r the month o f March and deployed on 1 Apr i 1. Due t o U1500 computer problems, reorders f o r bo th AVCAL and COSAL were delayed u n t i 1 t he f i n a l week before deployment. A COSAL reorder was forwarded t o NSC Pearl Harbor i n A p r i l . I n May, bo th AVCAL and COSAL reorders t o t a l l i n g more than 28,000 l i n e items were forwarded t o NSD Subic Bay v i a COD. The f i r s t i npo r t per iod i n Subic Bay found t h e Supply Department busy loading mate r ia l s f o r t he next at-sea per iod. The ship l e f t Subic Bay on the 13th o f May headed f o r the Indian Ocean v i a a short stop i n Singapore.

b. (U) While operat ing i n theX1.0., there was a no t i cab le lack o f AFS support. AO/AE support w i t h h u l l load 1 i s t items was excel l en t , bu t was not adequate t o support a CV w i t h a f u l l a i rw ing embarked.The S-1 O f f i c e r was designated as the Mater ia l Control O f f i c e r f o r Task Force 70.2. A t o t a l o f 809 urgent mater ia l screens were processed w i t h a t o t a l of 220 issues made f o r a 28% f i 1 1 ra te . An urgent ma te r ia l request program was set up w i t h NSD Subic Bay which proved very he lp fu l . An a c t i v e NMCS/PMCS v a l i d a t i o n team helped t o f u r t h e r enhance squadron supply support. The va l i dat ion team was made up o f two sharp AK1 ' s from the S-1 Program Management Branch (PMB). With the except ion o f the U- 1500 problems, the S-1 D i v i s i o n operated we l l . On t h e average, about 600 r e q u i s i t i o n s were processed per day, w i t h CASREPS averaging about 70 o f f sh ip requ is i t i ons .

c. (u) The 1981 c r u i s e ended on 23 November and preparat ions f o r the COH a t Puget Sound Naval Shipyard went i n t o f u l l swing. SFOMS has been set up and r e q u i s i t i o n s placed on order w i t h some rece ip ts already received. During 1981 COSAL support was about 86% and AVCAL a t about 75%. I n s p i t e o f t he many unforseen problems, the S-1 d i v i s i o n had a good year. A way i s always found t o procure and de l i ve r , even when i t seems impossible.

2. (u) S-2 Food Service D i v i s i o n

a. (U ) Overal l t he Food Serv ice D i v i s i o n completed a very successful 8 month deployment i n the lnd ian Ocean and Western Pac i f i c . As a morale booster the crew enjoyed many specia l meals such as B i r thday dinners and New Fathers

b. (U) While the K i t t y Hawk was i n Subic f o r an 18 day SRA period, the S-2 D i v i s i o n accomplished s i g n i f i c a n t improvements t o upgrade the ma te r ia l cond i t i on and readiness o f S-2 spaces. Repai r s included p a i n t i n g o f var ious spaces such as storerooms forward, and the Forward and A f t messdecks. Reefer doors i n var ious r e f r i g e r a t e d spaces and the alarm systems were a l l repa i red t o maximum e f f i c i e n c y . I n add i t ion , t h i s SRA per iod was u t i l i z e d t o send personnel t o F i r e f i g h t i n g and Damage Control schools i n Subic Bay. Upon completion o f the deployment f i f t y percent o f S-2 personnel were granted a much deserved leave pe r iod i n t ime t o enjoy Thanksgiving and the Christmas Hol idays w i t h t h e i r f am i l i es . Add i t i ona l l y , i n p repara t ion f o r t he upcoming COH, a l l the p lans t o completely renovate the g a l l e y p r i o r t o the next deployment were stated. A team o f experts i n the areas o f food service, a draftsman, and an a r c h i t e c t were contracted f o r and brought aboard t o p lan the renovation of the E n l i s t e d Din ing F a c i l i t y Gal ley A f t , Bakeshop, Butcher Shop A f t and Forward, Vegetable Prep Room Forward, and A f t and the Mess deck areas forward and A f t f o r maximum space u t i l i z a t i o n . The O I C o f the Food Management Team and Master Chief STROTHERS were a l s o c a l l e d upon i n these extensive e f f o r t s t o renovate the En l i s ted Din ing Faci 1 i ty .

a. (U) Sales. P r i o r t o the cru ise, the T o i l e t r y S to re ' s shelv ing capaci ty was increased 100 percent by adding a twenty-one f o o t d isp lay case fo r the sa le o f small p i l f e r a b l e items. This allowed f o r a greater l i n e o f merchandise and resu l ted i n t r i p l e the d a i l y sales i n t h a t o u t l e t . A new convenience store, t h e Hawk's Nest, was es tab l ished t o c a r r y t o i l e t r i e s , tobacco products and snacks. This o u t l e t proved t o be popular, espec ia l l y among o f f i c e r s due t o i t s convenient locat ion . Add i t i ona l l y , the gedunk hours o f operat ion were extended t o prov ide twenty-two hours o f continuous service. A l l new video games and soda machines were i ns ta l l ed , rep lac ing o l d and de te r io ra ted machines. Throughout the deployment the ship ' s s tores were adequately stocked, however i t was d i f f i c u l t t o mainta in an adequate supply o f T - s h i r t s and b r i e f s . Three la rge orders o f f o re ign merchandise were purchased, valued a t $700,000 wholesale. Gross sales f o r the calendar year approached $3.5 m i l l i o n which provided over $280,000 t o the Sh ip 's Welfare and Recreat ion Fund.

b. (U ) Services. I n the th ree months p r i o r t o the s t a r t o f WestPac 81, a l l barber equipment was inventor ied and any shortages o f equipment o r suppl ies refurbished. The same app l ied i n the laundry, d ry c leaning and t a i l o r shop. Remodeling o f a l l three barbershops was completed and a l l down equipment i n t h e 1 aundry was repa i red. Continuous equipment problems were encountered i n the dry c leaning p l a n t and, as a r e s u l t , o v e r a l l d ry c leaning serv ice was marginal. I n the laundry, numerous equipment problems were experienced, bu t through the p e r s i stence o f "El' and "R" d i v i s ions, repa i r s were accompl i shed expedi t ious l y

They accomplished t h i s job i n conjunct ion w i t h regu la r l y scheduled work i n a most ambit ious and commendable manner.

c. (u) Storage Space. Storage cont inued t o be bare ly adequate. An ino rd ina te l y la rge order o f f o re ign merchandise requ i red a hangar bay sa le because there was not enough storeroom space ava i lable. A1 though h i g h l y successful, i t was not the p re fe r red manner because o f t he s e c u r i t y problems associated w i t h open storage o f h i g h l y p i l f e r a b l e merchandise.

d. (u) Personnel. Generally, SH manning was s u f f i c i e n t w i t h 55 SH's and 30 TAD personnel. An emphasis on v e r s a t i l i t y and job r o t a t i o n provided t r a i n e d personnel dur ing peak load per iods t o work i n a given o u t l e t o r f a c i l i t y u n t i l the peak subsided.

I n summary, t he Ship 's Servicemen performed i n an exemplary manner.

4. (U) S-4 Disburs ing D iv is ion . During the w in ter and spr ing o f 1981, the Disbursing d i v i s i o n was i n the process o f prepar ing f o r the upcominq deployment. I n Apr i 1 CVW-15 came aboard b r i'ngi ng over -2000 pa; accounts. ' I n order t o handle the workload, d isburs ing o f f i c e personnel worked twelve t o s ix teen hours a day. The o f f i c e was manned twenty-four hours a day f o r a l l k i nds o f business t ransact ions ( t r a v e l claims, pub1 i c vouchers, emergency pay, specia l pay, e t c ) . During t h a t per iod the d isburs ing o f f i c e processed 2,800 t r a v e l claims, 200 emergency pays and 210 specia l pay ro l l s . Thousands o f OCR documents were processed w i t h a very h igh l eve l o f accuracy of over n ine ty -n ine percent. A f t e r re tu rn ing from deployment i n l a t e November, d isburs ing o f f i c e underwent a major turnover o f d isburs ing personnel w i t h the d isburs ing o f f i c e r and LCPO both being t rans fe r red i n the same month. There was a l so a loss o f two second c lass p e t t y o f f i c e r s w i thout replacement. Although there was no major upgrading o f f a c i l i t i e s i n the d isburs ing o f f i c e , concentrated e f f o r t s t o mainta in t h e o v e r a l l appearance o f the f a c i l i t y were noted. A new t r a v e l c la ims computer was i n s t a l l e d i n an e f f o r t t o upgrade o v e r a l l t r a v e l c la im service. Throughout the period, the d isburs ing o f f i c e cont inued t o prov ide outstanding, responsive and courteous serv ice t o a l l customers.

5. (U) S-5 Wardroom D iv i s ion . The mess b i l l f o r 1981 cont inued t o be kept a t $85/month desp i te ever increasing food costs. This was made poss ib le by a c r e a t i v e and resourcefu l MS s t a f f which c a r e f u l l y planned and executed Wardroom operat ions. The mess share averaged $16.00 w i t h the t o t a l membership o f j u s t over 400 o f f i c e r s . The Wardroom hosted a specia l dinner a t the Cubi Po in t O f f i c e r ' s Club f o r t he Seventh F l e e t B a t t l e Force Group which was attended by over 750 o f f i c e r s and guests and was an overwhelming success.

6. (U) S-6 Av ia t i on Stores D iv is ion .

a. (U) With the end o f the SRA per iod i n January, S-6 began making f i n a l p repara t ions f o r the upcoming Westpac/lndian Ocean deployment. January and February saw two predeployment work-up per iods w i t h March having the f i n a l i n p o r t period. During the work-up underway periods, S-6 i n i t i a t e d the " K i t t y Hawk Express" program under which requ i red a v i a t i o n par ts , not a v a i l a b l e on K i t t y Hawk, were ordered v i a the home a i r - s t a t i o n f o r shipment t o the ship. A lso dur ing the month o f March, S-6 performed a "Repair and Return" o f a1 1 non-RFI repa i rab les belonging t o CLAMP and Rotable Pool w i t h the home a i r - s ta t i ons . However, 80 percent o f these were returned t o K i t t y Hawk s t i 1 1 i n a non-RFI condi t ion.

b. (U) Upon deployment, S-6 D i v i s i o n had a ro tab le pool range o f 95 percent, depth o f 86 percent and CLAMP range o f 96 percent, depth 92 percent. Rotable pool and CLAMP range was considered t o be 100% w i t h cross-deck ac t i ons from the USS RANGER i n the l a t t e r p a r t o f A p r i l . At Subic Bay the Supply Department became inundated w i t h ma te r ia l from the f i r s t and second re-orders. Many days were spent between Subic Bay and Singapore stowing t h i s mater ia l . High e f fec t iveness ra tes i n the CLAMP and r o t a b l e pool u n i t s began t o d e t e r i o r a t e t o unacceptable l e v e l s dur ing July. The major c o n t r i b u t i n g f a c t o r f o r t h i s d e t e r i o r a t i o n was the amount o f U1500 downtime p r i o r to, and during, t he e a r l y stages o f t he deployment. This downtime negat ive ly a f f e c t e d our a b i l i t y t o t rack usage, monitor reorders, and manage onboard inventor ies. While opera t ing i n the Indian Ocean the l o g i s t i c s p i p e l i n e s were s t re tched t o t h e i r maximum. However, t he mater ia l f low, al though slow, was consistent . The average turnaround t ime f o r the ma te r ia l a v a i l a b l e i n the system va r ied g r e a t l y depending on COD serv ices and a b i l i t y t o UNREP. During the month o f November S-6 had an a s s i s t v i s i t by the Av ia t i on Supply O f f i c e ' s Repa i rab les Accounting Management Ass i s t Team (RAMRAT). The team was ass is ted by the CLAMP representa t ive f o r COMNAVAIRPAC. The corrment upon t h e i r departure was " K i t t y Hawk's CLAMP records and accounting f o r CLAMP mate r ia l i s as good o r bet ter" , than any c a r r i e r they had been on.

c. (U) Upon our r e t u r n t o San Diego, S-6 began t o o f f l o a d AVCAL, CLAMP, and Rotable Pool one week a f t e r a r r i v a l and cont inued through the month o f December.

7. (u) S-7 ADP Div is ion . S-7 began 1981 w i t h ser ious equipment problems. The o v e r a l l system avai l a b i 1 i t y was less than f o r t y percent throughout t h e predeployment per iod and even through the c r u i s e i t s -e l f . A newly recondi t ioned CPU was i n s t a l l e d p r i o r t o the deployment, and wh i l e the machine a v a i l a b i l i t y d i d improve i t remained extremely low throughout the year. Despite the equipment problems, the S-7 D i v i s i o n had an exce l l en t year. A t r a i n i n g program was

The a v i a t i o n 3-M runs were backlogged throughout the deployment. Keypunch product ion was exce l l en t w i t h over 210,000 documents processed monthly dur ing the c ru ise .

8. (u) S-8 Mater ia l D iv is ion . From January through March 1981, be fore the ship deployed f o r Westpac and the Indian Ocean, S-8 D i v i s i o n received and loaded thousands of l i n e items and tons o f ma te r ia l aboard ship. While the ship was deployed, S-8 d i v i s i o n personnel were involved i n underway replenishments/vertreps an average o f every fou r t o f i v e days. Replenishments ranged from rece iv ing a few p a l l e t s o f compressed gases/lube o i l s wh i l e alongside a T-AO, t o mul t i -sh ip , mult i -comnodity replenishments w i t h f o u r CONREP s t a t i o n s r igged and simultaneous VERTREP. The la rgest replenishment t o t a l l e d approximately 1,100 p a l l e t s and was composed o f fresh, frozen, d ry prov is ions , s h i p ' s s to re stocks, sodas, f i l l and h u l l items, f l e e t f r e i g h t , and mai l . During p o r t v i s i t s , S-8 d i v i s i o n personnel d i d not have much l i b e r t y and demonstrated a "can-do" a t t i t u d e . F lee t f r e i g h t was received aboard ship and ret rograde shipped t o designated overhaul p o i n t s (DOPIS), thus r e q u i r i n g shipping and rece iv ing personnel t o remain aboard ship dur ing l i b e r t y hours.
