Tom Mallan was the Executive Director of the Church of Scientology of San Diego, from 1974 to 1978. Tom sent me to the Excalibur’s RPFAbbreviation for 1. Rehabilitation Project Force. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The Rehabilitation Project Force has been created by the Commodore so that redemption can occur. (FO 3434)
in February of 1974, but despite that he and I were good friends. This page is my memorial for him. I wish, during our many talks, that I had kept much better notes of our conversations, but I had no idea back then just how deeply his passing would affect me. This is, to the best of my recollection and research, the Tom that I knew.

Early life
Tom, the youngest of three brothers, went to and graduated from the Holy Cross Regional Catholic School, in Lynchburg, Virginia, class of 1969. I wonder if Tom took it as a badge of honor just how many times the nuns battered his hands with their rulers!
After graduation Tom entered the U.S. Navy, eventually being assigned to the USS Hanson (DD-832). The Hanson ported in San Diego in December, 1971, which gave the crew plenty of personal time. Sometime from December to the next April, Tom was introduced to Scientology. He most likely was asked if he would like to take a personality test at Carl Barney’s Scientology Coordinated Services (SCSStart-Change-Stop. An Objective Process...more), located at 1052 10th Avenue. He enrolled onto L. Ron Hubbard’s Communication CourseGives people a reality on Scientology and teaches communication formula by dummy auditing. (HCOB 5 Apr 73) (Comm Course) and bought several of Hubbard’s books. When he finished the Communication CourseGives people a reality on Scientology and teaches communication formula by dummy auditing. (HCOB 5 Apr 73) he would have gotten a certificate just like mine.
On April 10, 1972, the Hanson, with Tom as one of its crew, left San Diego on its last WESTPAC, destination Vietnam. On May 4, 1972 the Hanson participated in Operation Freedom Train (later called "Operation Linebacker") and engaged in a series of daring raids on the Haiphong complex. During the Hanson’s second raid, on the night of May 4, 1972, she was hit by an artillery shell which damaged the ship's water purification system. As Tom was a machinist mate, he would have helped with its repair.
From May 4, 1972 to September 18, 1972, a period of 138 days, the Hanson participated in the following engagements -
Hanson's participation north of the DMZ, 4 separate occasions, 42 strikes.
- Operation Linebacker - starting May 4, 1972
- Hanson subjected to over 300 rounds of hostile fire
- Hanson sustained minor damage on two separate occasions from N. Vietnam batteries
- Operation Custom Tailor – May 10, 1972
- Water Borne Logistics Craft Interdiction. September 2 thru 8, October 2 thru 3.
Hanson's participation south of the DMZ, 5 assignments on the gun lineThe military type of organization form whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of command. Orders pass from top management down the line of command and compliances and data pass on up without by-passing the chain of command. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976).
- Operation Song Thanh (5-72)- May 13, 1972
- Operation Song Thanh (6-72)- May 24, 1972
- Operation Lam Son 72 I – June 29, to July 11, 1972
- Operation Lam Son 72 II – July 11, to July 22, 1972
- Battle for Mộ Đức – September 16 – 18, 1972
After the Hanson’s last engagement its WESTPAC was nearly completed, all that was left was for it to return to San Diego. By this time Tom was already making news in the Scientology world. He had started a study group while in the Navy he called the "Squid Org", which was reported in one of “The Auditors” magazines (see below).
The USS Hanson arrived back in San Diego on November 10, 1972. For its service during its last WESTPAC, each shipmate earned the Meritorious Unit Commendation.
