SIGNS OF HABITATION BOWLIM . DEW m Y m HOnSOF OPERATION 0900-2200 DAILY • Although not a large base, it still supplied many pleasant ways to spencJ an afternoon. Its s unny beaches and dense jungles provided great places to party as well as excellent spots for solitary meditation. Some attractions; A four- lane bowling alley, a Miniature Golf course, a Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, Playing Fields left no excuse for not enjoying the physical activi- ties while the Hobby Shop provided a way to spend constructive hours, and without ques- tion, water sports enthusiasts were in paradise. Both times the ship stopped there, many found time to: get tanned, get bored, get to know yourself, get closer to friends, get homesick, get in shape, get out of shape, get sick of the ship, get shots, and get into something impor- tant to yourself.

THE NAVY ' S OWN TROPICAL ISLAND PARADISE Diego Garcia will not soon fade from the memories of the crew of the USS ACADIA. From the first view of it as a small, dark line on the horizon, to the cool blue of the lagoon and mysterious green of its jungle as we dropped anchor, to watching it disappear off our sterm as we sailed away, our stay was something unique, to be thought of and treasured in the years to come . . .

Diego Garcia provided Acadia with some of the greatest chal- lenges it has encountered in its short career as a U.S. Navy Tender. From the anchor windlass on the USNS Overseas Valdez, to the damaged flight deck and hanger doors of the USS Trippe, the Ship ' s first submarine avail- ability, to the over 400 odd jobs the USS Texas presented our Eiec- ronic Repair Division. In every one of those mentioned cases, and many more that are not listed, the Acadia excelled in its ability to provide shipyard quality work, while anchored out, to each and every one of its customers.
