Haipboi HAWAII Hawaii, the land of hula girls and sugarcane, is a welcome sight. The popular Diamond Head is the first familiar sight we see. Then, we get a distant glimpse of Honolulu and finally, as we pass Diamond Head, we see Waikiki Beach. The beautiful green hills rise up to meet the clouds forming one of the truly picturesque scenes of the Pacific. Hawaii, com- prising both volcanic and coral islands built up from depths of 15,000 to 18,000 ft., is the northernmost of the Central Pacific island groups. It has the largest area and greatest altitude. There are about 900 species of flowering plants (more than 300 being trees), 140 ferns and also many hundred mosses, lichens, fungi and algae. Sugar has long been the chief product of the islands. Pineapple growing is second only to sugar as a crop here.

i! M The departure of a ship to a foreign country is an occasion that is met with mixed emotions. When the deployment date draws near, excitement begins mounting. To the sailors of the DIXIE, this means hard work pro- viding repairs for the ships while they are away from their home ports. Many long hours will be spent main- taining these ships at peak performance. Suddenly, 7 .luly 1960 is upon us. Today we must say goodbye to those we love. As the huge crane is re- moving the gangway, we sadly realize that its going to be a long time before we shall take that liberty boat that takes us the first leg of our journey home again. Then we hear the words shift colors and we realize t hat we are under way. Slowly we ease out of the berth at the Naval Station. As we pass the PRAIRIE we say to ourselves ■ it ' ll be a long time before we see them again . We soon find that we are taking one last look at majestic Point Loma. We have begun to develop what is to be our 19(i0 Cruise Book. Already we are recording those events which we shall show all who bear to look and listen as we shall describe this, our 1960 WESPAC cruise. Have a look V if ff . iL— -«f
