AN ODE TO THE LOWE The USS LOWE, on October'2, U steamed out of Guam with a job to do. Sporting a new coat of gray and many new hands, she was on her way to war torn lands. She sailed cross the blue water a near perfect sky, and in a few days arrived at Subic, P.l. . On Subic's fair shores the men could breathe clear, and support a few bars drinking San Miguel beer. We spent a few days taking on supplies, and those on the beach were getting bloodshot eyes. Soon game time was over and their money was gone, most of it spent on wine, women and song. Again that LOWE Lady got under way, with a pretty good crowd in front of sick bay. The hangover cure is very clear, ' two APC's since there's no more cold beer. Another short run across the peaceful blue, and we were on station in Area Two. lf the weather stayed fair it would be a cinch, so in the darkness of night we relieved the FINCH. Now Market Time Duty is not the best, but it must be done like all the rest. You steam up and down the coast of RVN, knowing this is a fight that we must win. The days are long and the nights are slow, buyday after day we are on the go. For 27 days we bear the grind, and many are the miles we leave behind. Radar and Sonar are manned night and day, and the snipes in the hole are earning their pay. From the bridge to the bilge each man is on station, and three times a day he lines up for his ration. We would search a few junks and have many drills, and on the horizon you could see the hills. Hills in alland where Americans die, and Viet Cong troops protect the Communist lie. This cruise will soon end and we'Il be home port bound and we hope they'll remember the LOWE was around We know that our jobs will not be in vain, - and that one day soon we'Il 'see peace again. A HMI Rimmer
