There is a long list of requirements a ship must sat- isfy prior to embarking on a deployment. Fleet ex- ercises, training exercises, gun shoots, and engi- neering plant trials are but a few. But for most crew mem- bers, the most enjoyable requirement is the depen- dent ' s cruise. Although not an official pre-deployment requirement, dependent ' s cruises invariably precede major ship de- ployments. Dependent ' s cruises are designed to give fam- ilies and friends of crew members the opportunity to ob- serve first hand the regiment of life at sea. BOWEN ' S pre-deployment dependents cruise took place on April 29, 1987 -just over 1 month before the ship began it ' s June to november Mediterranean deployment. Families and friends of BOWEN sailors em.barked eariy on that Friday morning for the eight hour cruise off the coast of Charieston. As the ship transited the Cooper river, which leads to the Atlantic Ocean, guests listened to a guided tour of the river given by the Public Affairs Officer over the IMC, the ship ' s general announcing circuit. Among the points of interest were the riaval Base itself, third largest home- port in the United States; the Piavy ' s Degaussing Station, which neutralizes a ship ' s magnetic field; the twin Cooper River bridges, built in 1929 and 1966; Patriot ' s Point, home of WWII aircraft carrier Yorktown; the City of Mount Pleasant; the Battery, featuring classic architecture from the civil war era; Ft. Johnson and Ft. Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired; and buoy ' Two Char- lie „the sea bouy which marks the approach to Charies- ton harbor from the sea. In addition to tours of the ship, guests were treated to a noon meal on the ships mess decks. BOWEN re- turned to her Charieston naval Base berth at the end of the day, having satisfied yet another pre-deployment requirement. Bowenlife 23
