With a minimum of fanfare, the families stood on the quaywall at North Island, and the sailors looked back, hoping for an early return. Everybodiy was being very self- concious y brave, perhaps . Two hours out of the harbor, there was an abandon ship drill. A week after San Diego, Gompers pulled into Hawaii for the first time this year, though not the last. Engineering problems made sure Gompers would see Pearl Harbor a- gain. Everything was fixed in record time, however, and we began crossing the placid mid-Pacific re- gions enroute to Buckner Bay, Okinawa. At Buckner Bay, the ship moored to a pier and refueled. Six hours after mooring, Gompers set to sea again for typhoon evasion. Typhoon evasion took us to Sasebo, Japan. Gompers' arrival in Sasebo doubled the base's repair ca abilities and brought crewmen a lot ofj work but somehow, with everyone pulling together, the jobs got done . After three weeks in Sasebo, Gompers steamed for Yokosukap typhoons were troublesome in Southern Japan and only a little less so in the North. il 2 - - -3- -'sy-4--re if QS! , .x -z s 'r '.r-1'-1-vu-iq-4-f fvgiw . e eg ng-e,-i'r Lpg,'1e:a,,f,.

It was a shame to leave but we did have work to do. Subic Bay brought a change of pace. Gompersmen worked on subs, tugs, cruisers, and aircraft carriers. There was a course change six days into the homeward transit. Gompers diverted for Yokosuka, Japan to lVledevac a crewman for an appendectomy. The seas became rougher as we steamed North. The appendectomy was performed underway and the crewman medevacked for re- covery at the Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, The operation was a com - plete success . Then followed three weeks of heavy seas in a storm-tossed North Pacific transit and finally, arrival in San Diego six months and one day after departure, on the morning of Christmas Eve .

Well, I guess we're underway . Our Transit H aa' Begun During the transit to Pearl Harbor, Gompers had 28 Naval Sea Cadets on board for a training cruise. The Cadets stood watches on the bridge, in the engineroom, and elsewhere throughout the ship, getting a taste of Naval life. i 1 ,- 4 f 1 .4 I , I l Q15-11 N11 . X -..

Intrepid sailors capture live seabat on F'0'c s'le When this correspondent h ea rd a sea bat had been captured on the fo'c's'le, his first reaction was to find out if the Smithsonian had been not i fied, be- cause sea bats are very rare birds, indeed. He went out in a state of great excitement because he had never seen a sea bat although he had heard about such na ut i cal wonders . H e saw the group of smug sailors lounging in the sunset, and bent with curiosity Cand some fear, because sea bats are said to be vicious creaturesl to peer into the cardboard box . He gingerly lifted the box and knelt w i th a flashlight to look, ready to drop th e box if the sea bat tried to escape. And that is how ghis correspondent met his first sea at. 1 v.-, 1 . iii I, ' -0 jim ,iirf ffl, 'fi ' 47512 , 5 'g f2:sj5?3',.5' J-f - -. 1 1' 1 ,ai -, 1 1,' ,,A. ,- W - . f '-14:1 .,- 1.1-A Q1-.f'-:: -i - ., 7, ft 0'- f '9 5g'0'1f'f? f?0E. 0 315- H ile f' . , S-K1 A 0 1' '0 ,,', 'l,? 1if 0ilJ'5ff'0?

The locals, unfortunately, were pretty fishy characters and bore no resemblance to mermaids, so our overtures of friend- ship were limited to tossing them hamburgers . Meet one of our friends, he's a nice fellow who will eat them from your hand and leave you wondering what happened below the elbow. Then, when we least expected it, in the middle of a lazy Fourth of July after- noon, General Quarters was sounded . Gompers' crew responded dutifully, professionally, and admirably.

USS Samuel Gompers is a destroyer tender, right? The funny looking destroyers moored outboard of us are actually submarines and not destroyers. The one on the LEFT is USS PUFFER, the one inboard is USS - SEADRAGON. ln short availabilities in mid-November, we provided them with a number of services, in- cluding new formica on their mess decks tables, hull repairs, and WEST PAC storage lthere's not much room on a submarinel. You see, Sammy G. will fix anything that floats and a submarine does float. Well, those are awfully funny looking destroyers!

PC3 Frazier sinks another basket at right. At the LOWER RIG HT, Gompers' strength --its bench--looks on pensively during the action.

Very far away, as we entered the roads, we could see Diamond Head. Far ahead of us, tall vol- canic mountains sheltered Honolulu from our sight. The islands are a splendid place, with graceful coconut plams moving to the gentle breezes, and with the people a mixture of East and West. Twenty-eight Sea Cadets who sailed with Gompers from San Diego transferred over to the USS Prairie. Sightseeing the fiftieth state was a major undertaking by Gompers' crewmen. During our stay in Hawaii, many of us strolled along the sands of Waikiki Beach, delighting in the bikini clad girls. Others passed the days working and making repairs to the ship, the nights quietly doing the laundry, reading, or taking quiet, thoughtful walks along the beach. The International lVIarket Place was a popularlstop for shopping, though prices were stiffer than the lVlai Tai served at the Queen's Surf and Don the Beach Comber's. .1 '. ' E. We also became acquainted with the famous Hawaiian rainbow. Rainbows occur almost daily in Hawaii because, like fabled Camelot, the day begins with an early morning shower.. Be- tween one thing and another, Hawaii is sort of the land at the end of the rainbow and, prices being what they are, it would be nice to have the pot of gold that's also at the end ofthe rainbow if plans are made to spend any time t ere.

Others would never be there again. But for all of us, there is the memory of having been to Hawaii with the Gompers, and for most, the lingering impression that Hawaii certainly is a tropical paradise. lwgilfff ' .Q-uurmesmwf -. gsm f',A ' - , '-' 11 5 ' , .V iff?

The Philippines can stretch a sailor s dollar further, while taking it faster, .thag almost anyplace in Asia. You might say Subic ay a our Whip Inflation Now stop. lt is difficult to describe the Philippines. Any description is a juxtaposing of opposites, and both are true. The islands are a land of beauty and squalor, jungle and plateau. Looking one way, you find nothing but noise and excitement, but if you look someplace else, you will find peace and quiet. But it was a good place for shopping. Philippine exports include peacock chairs, pappa-san chairs mahoganey and teak, carved acacia, truly a shopper's paradise. If you want to stay close to the ship, but still go off base, Olongapo City beckons you to come to its neon jungle. Garish jeepneys and trikeneys the mainstay of Philippine commercial transport in mechanized areas surrounding naval bases, will take you anywhere you want to go and prob- a few places you don't. you don't, care to learn enough Tagolog to say 'lixiinde inc, not just no, but hell nolb you can asways stay an the base. You may miss a lot, because the 'gfverynight carnival atmosphere of the city is contagious, but the base library is cool and quiet, the laundromat serves vendo- beers for a quarter, the go-kart track gives you zhe chance to break your neck pretending you're .iuackie Stewart for a mere six bits. Or, you can fide a horse, shoot skeet out of the air, shoot arrows into the air, dive for the sunken treasures gf a conch shell in the clear blue waters of the ay.

S t. Benedicfs Hank Handelsman, a psychol- ogy instructor for Chapman College under the PACE program, got involved in a community relations project when Gompers visited Subic Bay. That is, he heard about Saint Benedict's Orphanage. Saint Benedict's Orphanage is halfway between Manila and Subic Bay. The orphanage is a crumbling, four-hundred year old ex-Spanish fortress whose walls are four feet of once solid brick, covered over with mortar. The mortar has long since rotted in Philippine monsoons and now falls away in patches. Seventy-five children live here, cared for by seven nuns. Handelsman took his class to the orphanage, to see what they could do for it. The pro- ject received quite a bit of support from me command and the community relations center. Though we only worked two weekends before we left, Gompers crewmen did get quite a bit done to make the old place livable.

That day Gompers delivered over three hundred measurement tons of donated materials to Project Handclasp coordinators in Subic Bay. Forklifts moved hundreds of packages from the cargo elevators to the dockside loading platforms. Cranes on the boat deck lifted the five by five packages and set them gently on the pier. Gompers' mission is to support the fleet, and support covers a lot of ground, including trans- Pacific Mayflower moving. The donations of meat sauce and bandaids, school books and diapers, surgical supplies and clothing were stacked on the pier, loaded onto trucks, distributed to a thousand recipients throughout the Philippines. How did it end? With a handclasp, of course. CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: SK1 Sison barrels down Gompers' Cargo Handling Passageway at the wheel of a forklift truck. He delivered this 500 pound package of food and medicine to the crane crew, where the package was picked up and guided to the pier by SN Fergus and SN Keller on the boat deck lABOVEl. Even the chiefs got into the act on the ship and the pier.

Six Days After departing Subic Bay, Fireman Apprentice Howard Bush developed acute appendicitis. Gompers cgianged course on her homeward transit to medevac Bush to Yokosuka for an appendectomy. Medical complications developed enroute, making it necessary to perform the appendectomy underway , in heavy seas. The operation was a complete SUCCESS . Here, Bush is being talcen from Gompers to the Naval Hospital in Yokosuka for recovery. After offloading the patient and taking on fuel, Gompers departed Yolcosuka and headed once more for San Diego, on 11 December 1975. 'N' N 'VL 4 V .ii :Q in-..
