“

Winner of CONUS photo contest J. Bell. PH2 Our newest state Hawaii was an excellent first port. Somewhere between the States as we know them and foreign countries as we picture them, Hawaii offered the fantasy of a new place with the security of home. Tucked in between a rugged Operational Readiness Inspection and our long tour to Japan and Hong Kong, it was a place to forget the cool evenings of San Francisco and to begin our suntans. And most of all it was a place to see, with sights everywhere that we had heard of through books and rumor.

“

. . . a land The South Pacific isn ' t a paradise, in the sense that Eden wasn ' t either. There are always apples and snakes . . . So wrote James Michener. He also said, . . . it rose from the sea in sharp cliffs ... It contained deep-set bays and tree-rimmed shores of glistening sand. It was so beautiful that it seemed impossible that it had arisen by chance ; gods must have formed it . . . But even the gods have taken ages to accomplish the feat. The land was once a rugged, rocky lump of lava. It has taken centuries of sea, wind, and the weathering of the hot Pacific Sun, to round out the scenery of Hawaii. For Hawaii is a land of scenery. The Nuuanu Pali, Diamondhead, Moana Loa, and the many beautiful bays and beaches all fit together to form a chain of islands which lie in the sun and breathe relaxation.
