Setting sail for WestPac '88 N4-y PH3 Robert D. Cross PW LISS M BfOWf1 PH1 LisaYM. Brown I-Q About the only good thing you can say about leaving is that one day you'll be coming home. Or as Charlie Brown would say when depressed about leaving loved ones, What l need is more hellos. When the Gompers departed Alameda Feb. 11, its slated return date of Aug. 11 seemed to be an endless time away. The waving hands, final embraces, and fond fa- rewells on the pier were memories the crew would carry with them. Feb. 11 was also a new begin- ning, a chance to prove the ship's worth in the demanding environ- ment of real-life Navy operations. So, with shouts of l promise to write, I love you and Where are the car keys? echoing through the morning air, the Sammy G proudly set sail to do her part for the Navy and the nation. Farewell Golden Gate, hello WestPac '88! TOP LEFT' Crewmembers watch as the ship approaches the Golden Gate Bridge. TOP F?lGl-l T: SH1 Mike Johnson gets ready to toss a dixie cup hat into the water, signifying his last WestPac deployment. LEFT' Sammy G sailors man the rail on the Flight Deck. 13 1 .T f..'
