X .3 PH2 RBCNEI A La le ,Lil , was 311 PH2 Flachel A Lauler PH2 Rachel A Laufer Airhead ops The island of Al Masirah, Oman, is near- ly halfway around the world from the farm- lands of sunny California where fresh fruits and vegetables abound. When USS SAMUEL GOMPERS left the shores of the Golden State behind in Febru- ary, its holds were filled with lettuce from Fairfield, garlic from Gilroy, and fruit from Santa Barbara, Grass Valley and Fresno. For a crew of 1,100-plus hungry sailors on a six-month odyssey, even the best laid stock of stores will eventually run out. Thanks to the efficiency of the Navy's Sup- ply Corps, fresh fruits and vegetables con- tinued to grace the GOMPERS' dining tables throughout the cruise. The daily fare acquired an international flair when U.S. Air Force C-141's delivered apples from Lebanon, oranges from Brazil, watermelons from Turkey, avocados from Kenya, onions from Australia, mangos from India and Brussels sprouts from Holland. To the crews of the ships and planes that made it happen, the Sammy G says thanks a million. PH2 Rachel A.
