P ARL HARBOR - HAWAII The legendary Pearl Harbor of the island of Oahu, state of Hawaii, is the last stop for a 7th Fleet ship before the Orient. To the left of Honolulu Harbor is the entrance to Pearl Harbor. As the ship enters Pearl Harbor there is Diamond Head on the right with Waikiki Beach along the coast line and to the left is Barber's Point. All hands keep a sharp eye peeled for the Battleship Arizona Memorial off the tip of Ford Island. Just being in this historic spot brings rec- ollections ofthe fighting heritage of the Navy back home to all the old hands and gives the newest boots a new idea of what it means to be a sailor. Once liberty call is piped there are numerous opportunities for exploration of the city of Honolulu and surrounding cities and country side. Although, on this deployment, the ship stayed at Pearl Harbor only two days, everyone had an opportunity to see the view from Diamond Head or make the circuit of night clubs in the evening. It was noted the next day that many of the men had their first taste of Pacific sunburn. The area near Pearl Harbor has some of the finest beaches in the world. The morning the ship takes in all lines and leaves the pier for WestPac, every man makes a promise to himself to try to return to this easy going and scenic group of islands.
