The South Pacific As previously men- tioned, this deployment was divided into two sec- tions. Upon our return from the serious business of the Persian Gulf and the dealings there with belligerent states, we headed to the island para- dises of the Pacific. There, the people were friendly and the mission a pleas- ant one. Acting as US am- bassadors, the crew met with the natives of Palau, Guadalcanal, Tonga, and American Samoa. Though not the rowdy type port of call that most sailors are used to, these pleas- ant, mellow vacation spots were extremely re- laxing and added to the uniqueness of the deploy- ment. 91
