HOMEWARD BOUND One of the first signs of Christmas was the tree created and displayed by the electricians. The transit home from Subic Bay and WestPac was eventful. Besides a unscheduled refueling conducted with the USS PT. DEFIANCE (LSD 31) an emergency transfer of BM3 ELMORE to the USS DUBUQUE (LPD 8) was made after his acute attack of appendi- citis. The ship was routed north in order to miss an approaching storm, only to run into a more severe storm with high seas and gale winds sweeping the ship for five days. The storm prevented much of the scheduled maintenance, and held up the unrep with the PT. DE- FIANCE for two days. Finally, the bad weather behind, the ship turned south and made a landfall off the coast of California early December 20, 1968. The USS V DKFIANCP: iLSD-.SU rides easily in spite ol 15 foot seas and gale force winds during December 8 unrep. n Sv JS p - i tf SP ' ' ,j y C lr H i i.
