NAVIG TICJN DEP RTME T SING stars for sign posts, the gators of the Navigation department guided the ship thru the tens of thousands of miles the LEYTE covered in her record-smashing sprints over the globe. i Charged with the safe passage of the ship thru the many strange waters he has seen, the Quarter- masters' duties and skills cover a large span. Anyasteering other than routine cruising calls for an experienced QM, and the Quartermaster of the Watch is the good 'starboard armi of the OOD both in port and at sea.. Honors fa CV has manyj are N,division's -responsibility, and the accurate winding andsetting of over a hundred ship's clocks fall into their lot too. p These jobs are subordinate, however, to the primary task of navigating, an exacting, tedious achieve- ment. Led by Cmdr. Henry T. Haselton, the N department ran up an accident-free mark, despite quick transitions from one area to another. s ' , Originally attached to Operations Dept. where it Was known asO-N Division, a recent change con- verted it into a full fledged department. So, in the future, as in the past, we'll get you there, safe, sound- and likelthe LEYTE itself, ready for anything! y ' Feiiififlf23232312211:51152252515522532ii'iiiieiiiisizif?E3335: ?2?241i323f?gS'E1 ' V122':5E5i:'f . ,. i.i:fe'1lrii1?5'f252l i fiiiifl , ' a ss. , y 2.

PEARL HARBOR SEPT. 25-26 1950 AS 'WE entered Pearl Harbor, many of us felt nostalgic memories of Pearl during the last war. Our intrepid pilot shook the bridge watch up by speeding up the channel at I5 knots to our berth at Ford Island Pier. As we 'passed sunken vestiges of our unpreparedness, such as the hulk of the Arizona, most of us thought of the parallel between Japanese treachery at Pearl Harbor and the unprovoked Communist attack in Korea. f , g About 1400, we docked off Ford Island next to another reminder of uThe day which will live in infamyf' thellalf submerged hulk of the 4'Utah . While the duty sections loaded on about 30 or 40 planes and tons of stores, the lucky port watchitookaoff for a look at the Norfolk of the Pacific, Honolulu. A ' ' Liberty in Honolulu was short and sweet. A few brave souls took a quick dip in Waikiki Beach, while others picked up souvenirs and a few hangovers. By midnight the crew wasaback aboard ready to sail for the Orient on the next day. 1 I Aloha Tower, Honolulu 1 King lKameharneha I I Diamond Head AS Diamond Head faded from view on Tuesday, September' 26, we began our long 3,399 mile ' ' ' ' ' I h E ' 't' Officer announced voyage across the Not-so Pacific Ocean.. Shortly after departure, t ev xecu, ive that Yokosuka was our destination. A quick' lookfat the atlas and we discovered that Yokosuka was a naval base in Toyko Bay. . A , g , t A I . The long trip was filled with hard work in preparation for the long grind ahead of us. Only. one day was the crew allowed to dope off, Sept..,28. This day was bypassed upon crossing the International Dateline.. p 0 I ' p ' . - : J t I, V mfr? ' ,...Q1:k ,QR IE.RN n'r'npm.L t 1 if r fig- ' a W' Y-NE' SE' 'Woof E T I , , AT tp.
