SWO Doggie Rap We ' re the SWO Doggie Rappers, and we ' re here to say, We sweat the load every single day. Standing bridge watches from eight until twelve, stand by, brother, we got a story to tell. Port and starboard lookout, helmsman and stat, they talk about this and they talk about that. BM3 Bixby, our BMOW He pipes so loud, it will really trouble you. Locklear, Braddy, and Bienworth too, if something goes down this ship is through. QM3 Davis, standing by his table, his body ' s willing, his mind ' s not able. Contacts, contacts, left and right, speeding up, slowing down, all damn night. We call to Combat, to ask what ' s up? We don ' t get an answer, ' cause they ' ve all given up. Our visibility is down to zero feet, let me tell you shipmate, this shit ' s gettin ' deep. The Cheng, he ' s losin ' it, he ' s almost gone, ' cause the Bos ' n ' s mo-boards are never quite on. Independent steaming, we ' re almost sunk, while the Quad and Austin sit in Palma, drunk. We ' ve got a chaplain onboard, God sent him down, ' cause our compass is off, and our radar is down. Our U.l.s are great, we handle them with ease. We stay in where it ' s warm - they stay out and freeze. Tom ' s in aft steering, he one of the boys, just so we don ' t forget him, he makes a little noise. The Captain comes on and off the bndge all night, but that ' s OK ' cause he ' s all right. We have a quiet watch until twenty-three thirty, when we get a contact, not one, but thirty. The Cheng starts sweatin ' . Pasquale is chill, it doesn ' t phase the seamen, ' cause we know the deal. Mr. Witten stands by the radar and plots, marking down all the ships with little white dots. Until our reliefs show, and we disappear out of sight, happy sleeping to all, and to all A SWO Doggie Night A SWO Doggie Night ■ A SWO Doggie Night From the Boatswain ' s Mate of the Watch bridge log: I woke up this morning, and I raised my weary head, I had a hard hat for a pillow, and main deck was last night ' s bed. -Anonymous 98

When I realized I would be doing not most, but all ot the work on this cruise book, I must admit I got a little worried. Actually, I did get some very necessary help. I ' d like to thank every- one who contributed pictures. They came from all ranks and rates and I hope will help this book better represent the whole cruise. I ' d also like to thank Barry Brown and Jeanne Czeiler at Walsworth Publishing. Their guid- ance and help was absolutely indispensable. Working on this book was a lot like the cruise in general. It was sometimes painful, but when it was over and we look back, it wasn ' t too bad. We ' ll all have sea stories to tell for years to come. I hope the contents of this book will help keep those memories as vivid as possible. i r 99
