On 18 August, 1969, while she was on the gunline, BOSTON received word that she had received the Bat- tle Efficiency E for Atlantic Fleet cruisers. It was the second year in a row that BOSTON received the award, and it was a fitting tribute to the ship herself and to the professional ability of her officers and crew. Upon her departure from the gunline BOSTON took a detour to Yokosuka, japan to give her crew some much deserved liberty. The hardships of the 24 hour- a-day gunfire support missions off the coast of the Republic of Vietnam became forgotten memories for the officers and men of BOSTON as they enjoyed their four days in japan. On the homeward journey BOS- TON stopped briefly in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and then BOSTON headed east for Acapulco, Mexico for some additional liberty before outchopping the Pacific Fleet and heading through the Panama Canal and onward towards Boston, Massachusetts. Homecoming in Boston, Massachusetts was a special occasion for the men who served on BOSTON presently and in years past. Her homecoming on November 15, 1969 may have been the last one for the great lady of the sea-BOSTON is bound for inactiva- tion as she was at the end of World War II. BOSTON has served her country well. Her name bears the symbolism of tradition of the Navy itself. From 1776 to 1970 BOSTON has meant seapower for the United States of America.
