lt waSn't every Naval vessel that got to spend the summer of '79 in the beautiful, sun-drenched Caribbean . . . sliding gracefully through the clear blue waters . . . checking out the clean, friendly beaches of Vieques lsland, and playfully sending the FORREST SHERMAN calling card onto the Shores of what Geraldo Rivera called Paradise Island . . . swinging in the glamorous and exciting night clubs of that fabulous resort area known as Roosevelt Roads . . . playing tag with other U,S, Navy pleasure craft in our clever Boris Czerman disguise . . . lazily winding our way across the entire breadth of that playboy's dream of a sea to find new venues of fun and escape off that unspoiled jet-set utopia, Nicaragua . . . making whoopie with the natives in fun-filled Cristobal Colon, Panama . . . . . cruising joyfully down south again after a brief stop for fuel in the dreary old U,S, of A, to find new and ever more titillating games to play with those wild and crazy Soviet tourists in their Kresta II and Krivak luxury liners . . . and knocking about off the Virgin Islands with that granddaddy of all ,pleasure craft, U.S.S. NIMITZ, And how about those cookouts! Seriously, FORREST SHERMAN's hard work in the Caribbean during the summer of '79, from Readex l-79 to the Soviet Surveillance Ops, from Readex 2-79 to the Nicaraguan Contingency Ops, and every- thing in between Qwith a special bow to the Gunnery Team and their performance off Vieques in Mayj showed the rest of the fleet 'that we could handle anything and everything that came our way, and do it with style.
