USS WASP CVA-18 in 1957
Many customers have had the unwanted supply of NSFO (Navy Special Fuel Oil or black oil),
pumped to the wrong place. In 1971, sailing the Tonkin Gulf , the Pennant of ComSeventhFleet
was being flown on the cruiser USS Oklahoma City and Kawishiwi filled her bridge at 3000 gpm
with NSFO. An oil line had broken because cleaning rags were left in the hose. The UNREP was
suppose to be a sharp show of workmanship.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO
The 184th ship alongside during the 1966 Cruise holds special memories for the men of the big "K".
With the USS PRINCETON (LPH-5) already alongside to port, the USS ALAMO (LSD-33)
commenced her approach to starboard. At first, nothing appeared out of the ordinary. The starboard
highline and the after fueling station went over to the USS ALOMO. With the exception of the
Avgas rig on Station 2, the USS PRINCETON was sending the rigs back.
82
Slowly the USS ALAMO and the big "K'edged together and "Emergency Breakaway" was sounded.
Station 2 was returned from the LPH, the starboard hi-line was cut, and the span wire tripped.
Although our stern swung toward the LPH, the USS PRINCETON increased speed and was soon
clear to port. The USS ALAMO brushed our starboard side and her increased speed cleared our
starboard side. Quick action and correct breakaway procedures prevented any injuries and
minimized damage. See damage photos below. The USS ALAMO was alongside again within 30
minutes for completion of replenishment.
Tim Barron took the pictures of our collision with the U.S.S. Monticello one day out of Pearl
Harbor, we were returning from WestPac. Tim had the Mid-watch and was sleeping in "on the
starboard side", when there was a sickening lurch and a very loud crushing sound. He flew out of
his rack, and for some reason grabbed his camera. "When I got topside I couldn'
t believe my eyes!
We opened up that ship like a can of peas. You could see people peering through the huge gash on
their port side."
