    The USs JOHN w. WEEKS @D 701) is a2200 ton ALLEN M. SUMMER Class destroyer.She was built at the Kearney, New Jersey yardof Federal Ship Building and Drydock Company.She was launched 21 May 1944, and placed intocommission in ceremonies at the Brooklyn NavyYard on 21 July 1944. She is named for HonorableJohn W, Weeks, who was Secretary of War fromL922 to L924.

    After a brief training period in the Atlantic,she reported to the Pacific Theater and operatedas part of Task Forces 38 and 58, in operationsagainst Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the JapaneseHomeIslands. She was damaged on 19 February !945,by a Japanese coastal defense gun on lwo Jima;and a week later from heavy seas, as AdmiralSpruance took his fleet near Japan. During thesummer of 1945 she steamed with thefastcarrierswhich ranged the South China Sea and closed towithin striking distance of Tokyo.

    WEEKS cleared Japanese waters on B0December 1945, and returned to the United Stateson 20 January 1946. She proceeded to Charleston,S. C. where she was immobilized and left inactivefor a little more than a year.

    In May 194?, she commenced operations againout of Charleston, and later out of New Orleans, beingemployed in Naval Reserve training cruises until mid- 1 949.In September 1949 she sailed for a EuropeanCruise. Uponreturning in the Spring of 1950, WEEKS was again or-dered to the "Mothball Fleet."

    In October of 1950, with war raging inKorea, the ship1ryas recommissioned for a second time. She spent nearlya year engaged in training exercises in the Atlanticand Caribbean. In August 1951, she departed for anotherEuropean cruise. It was during this cruise, while callingat Portsmouth, England, that word was received of theSS FLYING ENTERPRISE in distress in themid-Atlantic.WEEKS, in the true "can do" spirit that typified the destroy-er force, was soon racing to the ill-fated vesselrs assis-tance. She was the first to arrive on the scene; and aftertaking off all of the crew except the gallant captain, KurtCarlson, she passed a towline and began the long, treach-erous haul to port. WEEKSwaslaterrelievedof her towingduties by ihe fleet tug TURMOIL, but continued to assistby passing food to the captain fighting to save his ship.

    The ship returned to Norfolk for the Spring of 1952,but in June she was again Europe-bound, this time withAnnapolis midshipmen embarked. The fall of that year andthe next spring were spent in local operations and a yardoverhaul at Charleston. After refresher training atGuantanamo, she returrred to Norfolk tomakepreparationsfor an around-the-world cruise.

    The many problems a supply department en-counters are amplified by afourmonthdeploy-ment. Repair parts must be stored in everyavailable space, ready to be drawn on shortnotice for an operational repair. The servicefunctions of supply go on under ever changingconditions. Meals must be ready, the shiprsstore must be filled with foreign goods whilemaintaining its stock of standard items. OurSupply Department managed to carry out allof their functions admirably, makingthe cruisea little more enjoyable for the whole crew.

During our stay weenjoyed the many events of this typicallyScottish celebration, the dances, parades,bagpipe bands and athletic contests. Theship took part in a tug-of-war, softball andsoccer games. There were several tours

    to local landmarks, John OrGroats, thenorthernmost point in Britain, the Dun Reynuclear reactor site and Dunrobbin Castle,the Queen Mother's summer home.

    Foremost in our memories of Thurso,however, will be the wonderful hospitalityof the Scottish people. Throughout our staywe were treated froyallyr by the manyfriends we made.

Un-like most foreign countries visited byAmerican naval ships, Sweden has a higherstandard of living than our own country andthis is reflected in the attitudes of thepeople as well as the way they dress andthe cost of living. While little known to mostAmericans, HaLmstad is one of the mostpopular resort areas in Sweden. Wide sandybeaches and warm sunny days, even byAmerican standards, make the entire areaa busy tourist Mecca for the summermonths. This was the first really warmweather we had seen and everyone tookadvantage of it by going to the beaches.
