Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. WNYDSB_140824_055.JPG: US Navy Knot Board
2. WNYDSB_140824_062.JPG: ASROC Launcher Anti-Submarine Rockets (ASROC) are a destroyer's primary ASW weapon. Each ASROC RTT (Rocket-Thrown Torpedo) consists of a homing torpedo attached to a rocket motor. The launcher holds a maximum of eight RTT's, one in each cell. Orders from the shipboard Underwater Battery Fire Control System (UWBFCS) controls launcher train and elevation, homing torpedo search settings, and time before separation of the torpedo from the rocket. After firing, the torpedo remains attached to the rocket until separation time, then begins free flight. At the end of free flight, the torpedo parachutes into the ocean and begins a programmed search.
3. WNYDSB_140824_064.JPG: Display Ship Barry (DD-933) The Grey Ghost
4. WNYDSB_140824_078.JPG: 5in/54 Cal Single Gun Mount: Mount 52 (5" battery, 2nd mount) is a shielded dual-purpose (surface and air warfare) single barrel mount. It can fire up to 35 rounds per minute at an effective range of 9 miles and an effective altitude of 48,700 feet. The maximum range of the gun is 13 miles. It fires a variety of projectiles including: High Capacity (HC), High Explosive (HE), Armor Piercing (AP), White Phosphorus (WP), and special purpose ammunition. Each projectile weighs 70 lbs. with the separate powder casing weighing 42 lbs.
5. WNYDSB_140824_082.JPG: Fan-Fair Torpedo Decoy: Fan-fare produced noise that could confuse earlier types of passive acoustic homing torpedoes. When towed behind the ship and energized, fan-fare could make a torpedo its noise target rather than the BARRY.
6. WNYDSB_140824_093.JPG: Number 2 Emergency Diesel Generator Room
7. WNYDSB_140824_110.JPG: Machinery Repair Shop: Equipped with heavy precision cutting and manufacturing machinery for metal work, the Machinery Repair Shop was manned by machinery repairmen (abbreviated "MR") who specialized in manufacturing metallic parts for machinery such as bolts, rethreading deformed thread holes, and repairing any deformed parts from operating machinery. They were also involved with engraving services for the ship as well as heavy metal cutting capability.
8. WNYDSB_140824_118.JPG: Ship's Laundry: The Ship's Laundry washed and dried all laundry for the crew. Officers' uniforms were also pressed. The washer/extractor and drier were 50-pound (dry weight) capacity. In each division's berthing compartment, the dirty laundry would be collected in 2 bins, one for whites and one for blues (color). Each division would have a designated day when the berthing cleaners would bring the laundry here to have it washed and dried. At the end of the day a representative from each division would pick up and distribute the clean laundry.
9. WNYDSB_140824_126.JPG: Dewatering equipment kit [we used to called them "pumps"]
10. WNYDSB_140824_134.JPG: Crews Berthing (B&M Division) 63 men from Boiler Technician (BT) and Machinist Mate (MM) ratings lived and slept in this space. The FORREST SHERMANS were the first class of ships to have all the berthing areas air-conditioned and were called the "CADILLAC of the FLEET." The middle and bottom racks had mattresses and pads that were lifted up. The top man's rack could not lift so he used the locker at the head of his rack.
11. WNYDSB_140824_155.JPG: Wardroom Gallery: The wardroom gallery is where the officer's meals were prepared. The galley was operated by men of the MS rating, and monthly dues were collected to buy the food served by one or two wardroom mess cooks [non-rates] fulfilling their 90 day tour after initially reporting to their division.
12. WNYDSB_140824_160.JPG: RADAR Room: The term RADAR is an acronym made from the words radio, detection, and ranging. It refers to electronic equipment that uses reflected electromagnetic energy to determine the direction to, height of, and distance from detected objects. Electromagnetic energy of the frequency used by RADAR is unaffected by darkness. However, it may be affected by weather.
13. WNYDSB_140824_221.JPG: Wardroom: The wardroom was the place where the officers ate their meals and conducted meetings. The mess was financed by a contribution from each officer. The officer's cook in the wardroom pantry cooked their meals separately from the enlisted men. It had an atmosphere similar to a gentlemen's club with formal meals, proper attire, and a strict code of conduct.
14. WNYDSB_140824_226.JPG: Post Office: On deployment, mail has an acute impact on crew's morale. Normally a postal clerk [PC] seaman or third class assigned to NAV/X division operates a post office of this size. If the ship has not received any mail for a couple of weeks while on deployment, there may be as much as ten to fifteen large bags. Once the sorting has been completed and "mail call" is passed over the 1MC, divisional "Mail PO's" will pick up their division's mail.
15. WNYDSB_140824_231.JPG: Sick Bay: Normally, the 'sick bay' is operated by an 'independent' duty corpsman chief or a first class petty officer. Both he and his assistant, an HN or HM3, are also assigned to NAV/X division however, since this ship did serve as the squadron commanders flagship (DESRON), a medical officer was embarked as ships company. Sick call was from 0730-0830 and from 1300-1330, when crew members suffering minor ailments could be treated or sent ashore (while in port) for treatments beyond the corpsmans capacity.
16. WNYDSB_140824_241.JPG: Personnel Office: Personnelmen (PN's) also assigned to NAV/X division were responsible along with the ship's office yeoman) for the administration of individual personnel career records, similar to those kept by any major business or corporation work here on the records of 22 officers and 315 enlisted men assigned to the ship's crew.
17. WNYDSB_140824_253.JPG: Galley and Mess Decks: Mess Management Specialist (MS) was responsible for the administration of the galleys. The Master-at-Arms (MAA) would line the crew up behind the doorway of the after passageway. As soon as the cooks were ready, he would send 43 men. Each man would have 10-15 minutes to eat. As soon as he saw a man finish, he would send another in. Each meal would take 1 hour and a half to complete. The hours were: Breakfast 0615-0730, Lunch 1115-1300, Supper 1715-1830. The mess decks is the largest enclosed space onboard and was utilized as a recreational center after meal hours so the crew could write letters, play cards or hang out. The crew normally had a movie played weekday evenings at 2000. In the event of massive casualties, the tables can be lifted out and racks can be put in place of the tables.
18. WNYDSB_140824_267.JPG: Display Ship Barry will be CLOSED from 25-31 October 2011 in preparation for "Ghost Ship". [It should be pointed out that this picture was taken August, 2014.]
19. WNYDSB_140824_276.JPG: Scullery: As sailors exited the Mess Deck they would leave their trays in the Scullery. Junior sailors, called "Mess Cranks," would then wash these trays. The trays were then returned to the serving line to be used again.
20. WNYDSB_140824_302.JPG: Motor Whaleboat 26ft: The ships motor whaleboat can be launched rapidly when the ship is moving slowly ahead (forward) or stopped. Two of the many uses of the ship's boat was to rescue a downed aviator or men swept overboard, and transport of the crew ashore (liberty) when the ship in anchored.
21. WNYDSB_140824_337.JPG: Bridge/Pilot House: The bridge is where the captain spends the majority of his time. When the captain is not on the bridge, the Office of the Deck (OOD) is responsible for the control of the vessel. He decided the course and speed and makes the order for the helm and the lee helm. The navigation officer spends most of his time on the bridge keeping track of the ship's progress and providing the ODD with a course to follow. He uses a sextant to track the sun, moon & stars, as well as electronic equipment (LORAN-C, OMEGA) to plot the course and mark it on the charts. The quartermaster writes every major incident down in the ship's log book as well as updates the status board for the ODD and checks the ship's position when the navigator is not on the bridge.
