Navy Demoralization: Familiar Signs Reappearing

I Is the U.S. Navy in for the
|1 same fate that destroyed the
American Army as an effective
FVFV fighting force in Vietnam? For
^INCH the past eight months, the Navy
has been doing the bulk of the
ED PPpr fighting and the familiar signs
'!RF!AA/t °f disintegration have all appear-
9 ed—increased anti-war dissension,
■ racial tensions and riots, acts of
sabotage, and growing use of hard

for the
Viet-
■ nam curse” that has demoralized
I the American military.
Serious racial clashes on air
craft carriers have received wide
■ publicity recently, but the Navy
I —
views as more ominous the rash
of sabotage incidents keeping U.S.
warships immobilized and away
from the Gulf of Tonkin. Since
the air war has intensified, mys
terious explosions have ripped
through several huge aircraft car
riers stationed just off North
Vietnam. Millions of dollars
worth of repairs have been done
on these ships, and others delib
erately sabotaged in other parts
of the Pacific.
The carrier USS Ranger, while
stationed at Alameda Naval Sta
tion, suffered more than two doz
en documented acts of sabotage
in two months. These included cut
ting of fire hoses, telephoned
bomb threats, plugging of a fire
main, pollution of the ship’s fresh
water with aviation fuel, fire in
the auxiliary room, flooding of a
gun compartment, and assorted
damage to the generators and oil
pumps. But the most spectacular
sabotage was done to the ship’s
reduction gear. Someone had
thrown a paint scraper and two
bolts into the gear causing $800,-
000 worth of damage and keeping
the 78,000 ton 4600 man ship idle
for four months.
The Navy has singled out a
21-year-old ship’s fireman, Pat
rick Chenoweth, as the culprit and
charged him with “wartime sab
otage” a crime carrying a 30-
year sentence. Chenoweth is a
quiet, unassuming sailor from
Puyallup, Washington who grew
up in a foster home. He has nev
er been active in any kind of
political group. Presently he is
in the brig at Treasure Island,
where he has been held without
bail for four months while the
case is going through its prelimi
nary hearings.
“The Navy has an incredibly
shaky case,” says Eric Seitz, at
torney for the young sailor.
“There are no eyewitnesses, fin
gerprints or any other physical
evidence linking him with the
act. The prosecution case rests
entirely on statements of three
witnesses who claim Pat admit
ted doing the sabotage, but two
of them say they thought he was
joking. We have evidence that
many of the men on the ship
talked like this—bragging they
were responsible for keeping the
ship away from Vietnam.”
Seitz says his investigation has
shown that some 350 men had
access to the room that was sab
otaged. “I believe there is so
much sabotage on the ship the
Navy is frustrated and looking
for anyone to serve as a scape
goat,” the attorney says. “The
charge of wartime sabotage is be
ing used to boost the punishment
and to make my client an ‘ex
ample’ to the rest of the crew.”
A similar sabotage trial was
completed last month in Norfolk,
Virginia. In that case, a military
judge found Jeff Allison, the son
of an Oakland, California high
way patrolman, guilty of setting
a $7.2 million fire aboard the air-

craft carrier USS Forrestal. Al
though the maximum penalty
could have been 350 years, Alli
son was sentenced to five years
of hard labor.
But while the Navy is putting
on the “show” trials, the reports
of sabotage persist. The USS Con
stellation, scene of the mutiny
by 120 black sailors, reports that
some of its sensitive equipment
has been “tampered with.” Other
small scale acts of sabotage go
unreported in the American press,
but rumors of them spread as
ships pull in for unscheduled re
pairs at US bases in the Pacific.
Racial problems such as the
riots on the USS Kitty Hawk and
the oil carrier Hassayampa, and
the mutiny by 120 blacks on the
USS Constellation, are new to
the Navy simply because the Na
vy has had a long tradition of
excluding blacks. When Admiral
Elmo Zumwalt took over two
years ago, he publicly stated he
wanted to change “the lily-white
racist image of the Navy.” He in
stituted a number of changes,
ranging from relaxed rules on
hair and dress to the active re
cruitment of more blacks into the
service. Still, the percentage of
blacks on the ships is only 5.8,
much less than any other branch
of the military and less than one
percent of the officers are black.
At the officer training college at
Annapolis, 131 of the 4400 in the
new class are black. Most of the
whites come fro conservative
small towns and have little or no
experience in dealing with minor
ity groups.
The Navy’s reaction to racial
dissatisfaction has been to use
swift repression. In the case of
the sit-down mutiny by black
crewmen on the Constellation, the
Navy has quietly showed most of
them out of the service. The
blacks accused of rioting on the
Kitty Hawk have been dealt with
more severely. They are being
court-martialed, with some receiv
ing prison sentences. Such out
ward symbols of black solidarity
as the fist salute have been ban
ned. No whites have been punish
ed in any way for their part in
the riot.
Because of the reactionary way
the Navy is dealing with the sit
uation, more racial fights are ex
pected by most sailors. Crewmen
on the Coral Sea, which sailed for
Vietnam in November, said that
both blacks and whites are arm
ing themselves with knives and
that tensions are high. “Every
brother is getting harassment
from these big fat white petty
officers,” said a black sailor. Both
black and white crewmen said
dope was a big factor in the ten
sion, something the Navy brass
has yet to mention. Grass, opium,
and increasingly heroin are used
widely on the ships, with both
races competing for the best
prices and highest quality. This
dope dealing on the confines of a
ship has led to numerous fights
and heatings, most of which go
unreported.
The racial inequality, dissen
sion, sabotage, and drug abuse
have brought the Navy’s morale
to its lowest point since Pearl
Harbor. Yet, surprisingly, the
congressional committee which is
investigating the Navy’s prob
lems is only dealing with these
issues in a peripheral way. Chair
man Edward Hebert, a hard line
hawk who heads the committee
is focusing on “permissiveness”
as the root cause of the Navy's
malaise. With this kind of diag
nosis, and the continuing war, it
will be a long time before the Na
vy will recover from its Viet
nam experience.
