Tauschek, Navy Sr. Ch. Personnelman Raymond J. (USS Mars - 1978)

Navy Senior Chief Personnelman Raymond J. Tauschek, son of Raymond P. and Ann T. Tauschek, Greenwood, recently completed a six-month deployment in the western Pacific.

He is serving as a crewmember aboard the combat store ship USS Mars, homeported in Oakland, California. While deployed, his ship operated as a unit of the U.S. Seventh Fleet.

During the cruise, his ship participated in several training exercises with other Seventh Fleet units and those of allied nations. Additionally, he and his shipmates had the opportunity to visit Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and the Philippines.

The Mars is 581 feet long, displaces 16,500 tons and carries a crew of 430 officers and enlisted men. She serves as a “floating store” and is stocked with more than 25,000 general and technical supply items. While deployed, she provides underway re-supply for ships of the Fleet.

Tauschek joined the Navy in December 1962.
