COMMISSIONING OF A SHIPThe commissioning ceremony marks the initiation into service of a ship in the operating forces of

the United States Navy. At the moment that the Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific

Fleet, Vice Admiral Harry C. Schrader, Jr., USN, orders the breaking of her commission pennant,

USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) becomes the responsibility of her commanding officer. Captain

William M. Fogarty, USN, who, together with the ship’s company, has the duty of making and

keeping her constantly ready for any service demanded by our country, in peace or war.

THE COMMISSION PENNANTThe origin of the commission pennant is said to date back to the 17th century, when the Dutch

were fighting the English. Admiral Tromp hoisted a broom at his masthead to indicate his intention

to sweep the English from the sea. The gesture was soon answered by the English admiral whohoisted a horsewhip, to indicate his intention to chastise the Dutch. The British carried out their

boast, and ever since, the narrow, or coachwhip pennant (symbolizing the original horsewhip)

has been the distinctive mark of a ship of war and has been adopted by all nations.

The second ship of the line to bear the name NEW JERSEYtoday enters the fleet for the fourth time, carrying a proud heritage

of service to the country, and the cause of freedom.

Originally commissioned on 23 May 1943, NEW JERSEYreported for fleet duty in the Pacific shortly thereafter. She sub-

sequently participated in the battles of the Philippine Sea and

Leyte Gulf, and fought to secure the Marshall Islands, Western

Guinea, the Marianas, the Carolines, Luzon, Iwo Jima, and

Okinawa. By the time victory in the Pacific was achieved, NEWJERSEY had earned nine battle stars.

The Korean Conflict was the scene of NEW JERSEY’S next

call to action. J'he “dreadnought” bombarded enemy installations

and troop concentrations, as well as provided anti-air defense for

other ships operating in Korean waters. NEW JERSEY’S actions

in Korea won her an additional four battle stars.

Following a transit through the Panama Canal and subsequent

Mediterranean Cruise, the NEW JERSEY joined the inactive fleet

on 21 August 1957. On 6 April 1968, NEW JERSEY was recom-

missioned for service in Viet Nam. Following a year of service

in Viet Nam, during which the ship was awarded the Navy Unit

Commendation and two additional battle stars, the NEWJERSEY was decommissioned for the third time on 1 7 December

1969.

In 1981, the decision was made, and funding approved, for

the reactivation and modernization of the NEW JERSEY, and in

August of that year, she was towed from the Puget Sound Naval

Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, to her new homeport of

Long Beach, California.

The NEW JERSEY is the second of the IOWA-Class battle-

ships. Her keel was laid on 16 September 1940 at the Philadelphia

Navy Yard, and she was launched on 7 December 1942, one year

after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The NEW JERSEYis 887 feet, 6 inches in length, and 108 feet, 2 inches in beam. Her

full load displacement is 58,000 tons.

The battleship is powered by 8 Babcock & Wilcox 600 PSI

boilers and 4 Westinghouse geared turbine engines. This engineer-

Page 5: RECOMMISSIONING NEW JERSEY (BB-62) DECEMBER LONG …€¦ · laterinTacticalAviationPlans.InAugust1971,heassumedcommand of USS CORONADO (LPD-1 1), whichwas deployed tothe Mediterranean

ing plant can provide up to 212,000 shaft horsepower to the NEWJERSEY’S four screws, enabling the ship to travel at speeds in

excess of 30 knots.

NEW JERSEY is heavily armored with Class A steel. Thearmor ranges in thickness from an average of 12 inches on the

hull, to as much as 1 7.3 inches on the turret faces and in the Bridge

area.

Her conventional armament includes nine 16-inch guns, capable

of accurately firing an armor-piercing projectile weighing up to

2700 pounds for a distance of 23 nautical miles. The NEWJERSEY also has six 5-inch/38 caliber twin-mount guns which

are capable of being trained, elevated, and fired completely

manually.

The NEW JERSEY has also been outfitted with the Vulcan

Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS). This system is an

automatic, close-in self defense “gattling gun,” capable of firing

20mm armor-piercing ammunition at a rate of 3,000 rounds per

minute.

In addition to guns, NEW JERSEY is being equipped with

both the Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles. The battleship will

carry 48 cruise missiles, which will be fired from 8 armored box

launchers (Tomahawk) and 4 quad-box launchers (Harpoon).

NEW JERSEY REACTIVATION AND MODERNIZATIONModernizing NEW JERSEY will enable this capital ship to

perform serveral urgently needed roles. She will be able to operate

as part of the aircraft carrier battle forces, adding a new dimension

of survivability and firepower. NEW JERSEY can serve as the

predominant unit of a surface ship action group, working with

carrier battle forces, or as an independent force in areas of lesser

threat. This will extend the reach of our present twelve battle

groups, while reserving the aircraft carriers for those tasks which

only they can fulfill. The lOWA-Class ships will fill a void in

naval gunfire needed to support amphibious operations or pro-

vide offshore support to any U.S. forces on the beaches or in

coastal waters.

Some of the major changes to modernize NEW JERSEYinclude:

1. Installation of eight armored box launchers for Tomahawkcruise missiles; NEW JERSEY will carry 32 of these missiles.

2. Installation of four quad-box launchers for Harpoon missiles;

NEW JERSEY will carry 16 of these missiles.

3. Installation of four vilcan Phalanx Close-In Weapons Systems

for self-defense against aircraft and missiles.

4. Installation of advanced cruiser-style communications

systems.

5. Installation of a modern electronic countermeasures system.

6. Installation of aviation facilities including an operating station

for one SH-60B helicopter, and stowage space for three

additional units.

7. Installation of updated air-search radar.

8. Conversion of the engineering plant to burn Navy Distillate

fuel.

9. Reactivation ot the 16-inch and 5-inch gun batteries.

10. Removal of the aircraft crane from the stern.

Today’s NEW JERSEY is more modern, more habitable, andmore technologically advanced than ever before. In addition to

new weapons systems and updated communications systems, the

battleship is air-conditioned throughout, and has been equipped

with its own FM radio station and full-color closed circuit

television station — the largest self-contained unit of its type in the

fleet.

Dear Captain:

Congratulations on your new command, and best wishes toyou and to your crew on the recommissioning of NEW JERSEY(BB 62)

.

You have been entrusted with one of our Navy's mostpowerful and versatile men-of-war. NEW JERSEY combinesrugged, highly-survivable construction with effective anddependable gun weapon systems. To these time-proven attri-butes have now been added some of the latest advances inmissile systems and command and control facilities, makingyour ship a potent addition to our modern surface forces.

Though NEW JERSEY is very much a part of today's Navy,her roots are deep. A Navy Unit Commendation and fifteenengagement stars are evidence of her service in three wars.Such names as Spruance, Halsey, and Mitscher are part of herlegend; the roll of her battle honors includes some of ourNavy's proudest moments. Whether operating with the carrierstriking force in the Pacific during World War II, attackingenemy fortifications and communications in Korea, or lendingthe weight of her massive guns to our ground forces in Vietnam,NEW JERSEY has never given less than her best. You inherit a

spirit that is at once an honor and a challenge. I know thatyou will add new luster to it.

Your ship now resumes her active role in the fleet.You, and those who serve with you, are charged with the heavyresponsibility of making NEW JERSEY a fully effective instru-ment of sea power in our nation's defense. May you meet withevery success in assuming that responsibility.

Sincerely,

CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS

2 December 1982

Dear Captain,

Please accept my hearty congratulations on theoccasion of the recommissioning of United StatesShip NEW JERSEY (BB 62). An unusual distinctionand a special set of responsibilities fall upon youas the first commanding officer after NEW JERSEY'Smodernization. By your selection as captain, yourdistinguished record of professional competence hasbeen recognized, and in this assignment the fullmeasure of your demonstrated abilities will be calledupon to fulfill these responsibilities.

When she rejoins the fleet, NEW JERSEY will bringto the operating forces one of the most unique andpowerful combinations of weapons and control systemsafloat on the seas today.

unless she is manned with a dedicated crew of Navymen who are capable of operating and maintaining her

to the very limits of designed potential.

It is your responsibility, as commanding officer,to establish for NEW JERSEY an operating capability to

match her potential. As your ship and crew perform,NEW JERSEY will develop a renewed personality of herown and a reputation which will endure over her manyyears of service to the nation and to the Navy. NEWJERSEY'S excellence of character and professionalreputation will largely depend upon your leadershipas commanding officer.

I congratulate you on your selection for thismost important task. Yours is a great honor. It is

also a profound responsibility. I have the fullestconfidence you will execute it well.

Sincerely,

Captain William M. Fogarty, USNPCO, NEW JERSEY (BB 62)Long Beach Naval ShipyardLong Beach, California 90802

Dear Captain Fogarty and Ship's Company:

I am very pleased and proud to offer you my congratulations and greetingson behalf of the over seven million people of New Jersey, on the occasion ofthe commissioning of the U.S.S. New Jersey into the United States Navy.

The name. New Jersey, has appeared with distinction and valour on UnitedStates Naval Ships-of-the-Line throughout the history of our Nation. BB-62,however, has earned particular distinction within this special class. Havingperformed valiantly in World War II, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War,the Battleship New Jersey has sailed with the pride of all New Jerseyans withher.

Again, officers and men of the United States Navy will sail in the U.S.S.New Jersey. No less than before goes all the pride of New Jersey and therecognition and hope that she sails to maintain our world at peace.

On behalf of the people of the State of New Jersey, I wish you Godspeed,fair weather and following seas.

Sincerely,

Thomas H.

GovernorKean

Governor of the State of New Jersey

THE HONORABLE THOMAS KEAN

“The Navy takes care of its own,”

is not just a maxim that is heard or

practiced in a ship. The NavyOmbudsman is living proof of that.

The Ombudsman is appointed as an

official representative of the

command by the commandingofficer. Whether the ship is at homeport of on deployment, the

Ombudsman is there with up-to-

date information about the

command Navy benefits, and as a

general “sounding board” for

grievances, suggestions, or

questions. NEW JERSEY has eight

Ombudsmen.

THE NEW JERSEY OMBUDSMEN ARE:

Nadia Bacon

Linda Boudreaux

Cindi Foley

Edie Jeffers

Shelia LooneyPeggy MallowRosemary Millemon

Donna Rayle

The following words, were found by shipyard workers on the back panel of the generator switchboard in the Number 3 Engine Room on

NEW JERSEY. Although the author of these words is unknown, his spirit and emotions are known and shared by NEW JERSEY sailors, past,

present, and future. Here are those words, just as they were written:

The returning once more to sleep of this great ship is both unfair and unjust to her and country.

She is freedom for those willing to fight for it.

She has brought pride to her country and most important to the men she served on land and at sea.

If she is called again to serve us, she'll be ready and willing to go more than ever.

For who of us can say what price is payed for freedom or that this country is so great or powerful enough to put her to death?

Amen

USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) is the sixty-second battleship

(BB) built for service in the United States Navy. The

predominant colors in the crest are blue. gold, and red. symbolic

of the embarked Navy and Marine Corps team. The bald eagle

commencing flight is representative of the United States, and the

NEW JERSEY’S offensive warfare capabilities. On the shield are

pictured a 16-inch gun turret and crossed Tomahawk and

Harpoon missiles, the primary batteries of NEW JERSEY. The

shield is placed on a field of alternating blue and w hite bands,

representing the sea service, and the four stars in the border of the

crest are symbolic of NEW JERSEY'S fourth commissioning.

“Firepower for Freedom" is the ship’s motto.

The National Ensign that will be hoisted for the recommis-

sioning of the NEW JERSEY is the same flagthat was flown over

the Arizona on 7 December, 1981. the 40th anniversary of the

attack on Pearl Harbor.
