As the ship steamed proudly out of San Diego harbor on that bright'and sunny morning in March I954, a new and brilliant chapter in Phil Sea history was opened. Looking back to March l2th l954, it little seemed that the coming cruise would actually be diFFerent from any other peacetime cruise in foreign lwaters, but many were to be surprised. l954 proved to be an historic year for the Phil Sea and a crucial one for the human race.
