COMMANDING OFFICERS MESSAGE This year in the life of the USS PINE ISLAND has been most interesting and busy. This is evidenced by the fact that the Ship has been deployed from her home port for eight of the past twelve months. Our active schedule has, however, given us- the opportunity to visit many interesting places such as the Galapagos Islands, Acapulco, Panama, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong and our home away from home - Okinawa, For many members of our crew this has been their first opportunity to visit these foreign areas. Our deployments have provided us with many in- teresting experiences, but there have also been some less pleasant aspects to our cruises - separations from our families and loved ones for instance. Perhaps, the hard- ships of separation will make our return from this cruise seem all the brighter. This has also been a profitable yearg the Ship was awarded the Battle'Efficiency Award on 24 April for the period of November l962 to February 1964. This was the fourth con- secutive award presented to the PINE ISLAND for being the most outstanding seaplane tender in the Pacific. May this cruise book remind you of some of the places we have visited, the work.we have done, and the efforts we have made in showing the American Way of Life to other countries. - W-.--H,-TW'-qfvr

D DIC TIO In June, the PINE ISLAND sailed for the Western Pacific to join the Seventh Fleet. While the Ship was deployed to the Far East, We were separated from our families. The hardships of these separa- tions were not felt by the members of the Ship's Company alone, but by the members of the families remaining at home as Well. By shouldering additional responsibilities at home during the Ship's deployment, through understanding and encouragement, the members of our families assisted us during this period of separation. The PINE ISLAND Families, therefore, played a very vital part in helping to make this cruise a successful one. Because of your devoted support, We the officers and men of the ,USS PINE ISLAND, dedicate this cruise book to you, our families,
