OPERATION SHAKEDOWN Early in January 1952, the Queen was ready for shakedown and sailed for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Arrival inspections are never pleasant things, but this one was a nightmare. When it was over, everyone on board thought surely the Tuck would sink any minute. They say Guantanamo makes men out of boys, and everyone soon believed it to be true. It was underway early each morning for the operating area, drills and more drills, then back to anchor in the afternoon. But it wasn ' t all work. Anyone who has ever been to Guantanamo will always remember Hatue, Caimanera, the Red Barn, and the train ride to Guantanamo City, as well as the city itself. As the weeks went by, the Tuck and everyone aboard her improved. One day, a PBM that was landing near-by, crashed and caught fire. All boats immediately went to the rescue, and disregarding the flames, saved the people in the plane. The boat crews earned the Navy reward of well done. The mid-term battle problem went well and everyone was pleased with the progress that was shown. The ship went to San Juan to participate in Convex III and then after two weeks went back to Guantanamo to complete the shakedown training. (dtmo , . . -•iSL- ' fr -- . ,.— «««B ' !a»ti«-!«5-!;-.
