,KQQ-. Departure June 5, 1989 It all seems so long ago . . . The hard work, long hours, and exhausting preparations for June 5, 1989 the day Westpac 89 began. It was tough leaving family and friends behind, but we had a job to dog to serve six months in the Western Pacific as an instrument of national policy to keep the peace and protect the freedom we so often take for granted. The BARBOUR COUNTY served her coun- try well. She met every commitment and earned a reputation around the Western Pacific as a ship that can get the tough job done right. In a year marred by several tragic naval accidents, BARBOUR COUN- TY escaped serious injury. That was not an accident, it was due to the pride, professionalism and dedication of the crew to maintain a daily commitment to safety. For one hundred and eighty four days, navy and marine corps families were linked by letters and infrequent phone calls. This book is an attempt to visually capture what made up that half year of our lives. When reminiscing, it is only human to emphasize the friendships, liberty ports, and good times. However, to keep things in perspec- tive, we must remember that the majority of the time was spent doing hard work, 60-70 hour work weeks were the norm. Our only real breaks were the two weeks spent in liberty ports and the weekends in working ports on days we didn't have duty. But more importantly, Westpac 89 was a time for growth, professional devel- opment, maturity, and individual insight. Overseas deployments emphasize what many Americans take for granted, how truly won- derful our country is. It is our belief that everyone has emerged a better person. LTJ G Michael Huber f .
