DECEMBER 1969 Lieutenant Commander Kenneth Fisher relieved Lieutenant Commander Mumford as Executive Offi- cer in January while the ship was in Singapore. LCDR Fisher received his commission in 1958 in a direct appointment following his graduation from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. He served aboard the USS HISSEN (DER-400) from 1958 to 1960 as ASW Officer, Weapons Officer, and First Lieutenant. He followed this with a tour as instruc- tor of Naval Science at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In 1963, after receiving a masters degree in Education from Bridgewater St ate College, LCDR LCDR KENNETH A. FISHER Fisher returned to sea aboard the USS MAGOLFIN (APA-199). From December 1965 to May 1966 he attended Defense Intelligence School in Washing- ton, D.C. and continued on to Singapore where he was Naval Attache at the United States Embassy. He was then ordered to the USS SUFFOLK COUNTY (LST-1 173) as Executive Officer and served there until ordered to the MANATEE in November, 1969. LCDR Fisher is married to the former Lorna R. Boardman of Attleboro, Massachusetts and they have two children, Keith, 9 and Karl, 3. The Fishers live in Huntington Beach, California.

DEPARTURE On July 26, 1969, after three weeks of training and a major shipyard overhaul the MANATEE de- parted for WESTPAC. The CRUDESPAC Band arrived as the brow was being raised and with the fading sounds of Anchors Aweigh the ship cleared the fuel pier and headed into the stream. The transit was relatively uneventful as the major overhaul completed in June at Long Beach Naval Shipyard had left the ship in excellent condition. The new crew had a chance to work together and get the feel of the ship at sea. Because of the generally fair weather during the summer, the MANATEE proceeded well North of the Hawaiian Islands. Few ships were encountered. Landfall was made on Tori Shima Island, in the outermost archipelego of the Japanese Islands on the 9th of August as a small ' blip ' on the ship ' s radar. At dusk, on August 10, the lookouts spotted the entrance to Van Diemen Strait at the southern extreme of Japan. 13
