The USs JOHN w. WEEKS @D 701) is a 2200 ton ALLEN M. SUMMER Class destroyer. She was built at the Kearney, New Jersey yard of Federal Ship Building and Drydock Company. She was launched 21 May 1944, and placed into commission in ceremonies at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on 21 July 1944. She is named for Honorable John W, Weeks, who was Secretary of War from L922 to L924.
After a brief training period in the Atlantic, she reported to the Pacific Theater and operated as part of Task Forces 38 and 58, in operations against Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the JapaneseHome Islands. She was damaged on 19 February !945, by a Japanese coastal defense gun on lwo Jima; and a week later from heavy seas, as Admiral Spruance took his fleet near Japan. During the summer of 1945 she steamed with thefastcarriers which ranged the South China Sea and closed to within striking distance of Tokyo.
December 1945, and returned to the United States on 20 January 1946. She proceeded to Charleston, S. C. where she was immobilized and left inactive for a little more than a year.

This summerrs deployment was especially challenging for the Operations Department. Working with British and NATO forces demanded long hours of study by all hands in preparation for the new tactics and procedures we would have to employ. Radiomen 'and signalmen mastered NATO communications and radarmen became experts on

ASW tactics. The ETs did a noteworthy job of keeping the gear operating without the benefit of outside technicai assistance. Professionalism was demonstrated in all areas of the department, making this summer a rewarding experience for aII concerned.

The cruise was a good one for the Weapons Department. In addition to the normal evolutions related to a deployment there were many unique jobs to do. AlI hands were involved at one time or another with presenting the ship during generalvisitinghours.

SUPPLY DEPARTMENT
The many problems a supply department encounters are amplified by afourmonthdeployment. Repair parts must be stored in every available space, ready to be drawn on short notice for an operational repair. The service functions of supply go on under ever changing conditions. Meals must be ready, the shiprs store must be filled with foreign goods while maintaining its stock of standard items. Our Supply Department managed to carry out all of their functions admirably, makingthe cruise a little more enjoyable for the whole crew.

NI WILHELMSHAVEN
Wilhelmshaven, Germany, our first port is the home of a large German naval base, a city whose heritage is closely a1lied to the sea and the navy. The people went out of their way to show us a warm welcome and to make our stay a memorable one. Excellent seafood is a specialty of the town. Grog (hot rum and sugar water) is a favorite drink here. The ship had over six thousand visitors andmanypeople took crew members to their homes and sightseeing around the countryside. On the last day the city celebrated a famous German naval battle, the Battle of Jutland and the officers and men of the WEEKS witnessed a formal military retreat attended by many high ranking German officials.

Le Havre, an important commercial port on the western coast of France, provided a point of departure for visiting many of Francers famous resort areas, including Deauville, Rouen, and'Paris. Many crew members spent the weekend in Paris on a special tour sponsored by the ship. Close by Le Havre were lesser known but equally interesting tourist attractions. The beaches, sidewalk cafes and the many old buildings offered enough sightseeing for the most eager tourist.

Hamburg was the largest city on our schedule. It offered all the advantages of a large metropolitan center, excellent shopping, an exciting night life and much sightseeing. We tied up next to the carrier Randolph with whom we hacl been operating, and for the duration of our stay there was a constant flow of visitors on the pier to see the two American ships. During visiting hours the Weeks had a total of 15,000 people on board.

After a period of operating we pulled into Thurso, Scotland, a small town on the northern tip of the British Isles, for their Gala Days Festival. During our stay we enjoyed the many events of this typically Scottish celebration, the dances, parades, bagpipe bands and athletic contests. The ship took part in a tug-of-war, softball and soccer games. There were several tours
