The sfory of fhe Washingfon had been a happy, carefree one during fhe days of peace, when she sailed as fhe pride of Amer- ica's expanding merchanf marine. Tired business men, fourisfs, and sfarry-eyed honeymooners had enioyed fhe comforfs and luxury of fhe ship. Many a cocldail parfy and moonlighf romance had flourished as fhe liner plied across fhe sea. The Washing- fon had been a greaf ship and a wonderful 'rraveling companion during fhose days when menfion of war was an idle fopic of con- versafion. As world conflicf became more and more apparenf, however, fhe ship fhaf was lafer fo ioin 'rhe Navy as fhe Mounf Vernon found herrfaslc a very differenf one. Americans in all parfs of fhe world were anxiously seeking passage home. Loaded beyond capacify, and sobered byifhe oufbrealc of war, she broughf her people safely fo fhe Sfafes. While hosfilifies were raging in Europe, fhe ship, sfill brillianfly whife, was profecfed from affaclc of warring facfions, by fhe Unifed Sfafes flag. By June, l94I, fhe ship had exchanged her glisfening whife for a uniform of grey. Lighf openings were sealed fo insure her dis- guise. Guns were mounfed on her decks. The cabins were sfripped of fheir lushness. Bare sfeel lined her spaces. The days of serenify were pasf. The days of doing a peace 'lime faslc were over. The Washing1'on had gone +0 war.
