The shrill whistle .... the word is passed... Liberty Call, Liberty Call... and it's hustle and hurry as the brows fill with sea weary men departing the ship for a well deserved liberty. Liberty in WestPac gives TRIPOLI personnel the opportunity to relax, to enjoy amusements, to get away for a few minutes to himself, to go on a buying spree and to observe different people throughout the Orient, which in itself is a marvelous and unique intro- duction to new customs and traditions. Ports of call for TRIPOLI included a visit to Hong Kong and Manila in Sep- tember, Singapore in October, and a return to Hong Kong at Christmas. The city of Olongapo, located just outside the gates of the Naval Base at Subic Bay, with its brightly colored jeepneys, and block upon block of neon lights was another favorite for TRlPOLl visitors. Liberty in the Orient is a never- forgotten experience. ws- iw h 1, M W., ,QW V Q...

The task of ensuring that stock levels are maintained at a high degree of readiness belongs to the storekeepers of S-1 Division. The men of S-1 are charged with procuring. receiving, storing, issuing, and accounting for all general stores, repair parts and other equipment necessary to keep TRIPOLI afloat on the high seas. Cutting through the seemingly endless maze of twelve store- rooms, the storekeepers are contnually able to come through with the goods. S-1 DIVISION SK3 F. Worten ,,..

The artistic capability of the ship's barber is constantly expressed in the form of high grooming standards which are the hallmark of the TRIPOLI sailor.

V Most sailors will tell you that the next best thing to going on liberty is getting paid. That's what S-4 Division is all about--getting the crew paid. Maintaining some 600 officer and enlisted pay re- cords, the financial wizards of the TRIPOLI Bank provide a complete assortment of banking functions which include safekeeping deposits, check cashing, and registration of allotments. Disbursing includes many things, but paying the crew twice a month is still the most important. The berthing and feeding of Officers is the assigned task of the men of S-5 Division, a job which assumes nearly round-the-clock proportions when deployed. Accommodating a constantly varying total of up- wards of 150 Navy and Marine Officers requires the capability, planning and flexibility of the men of S-5 Division. S-5 DIVSION S-5 DIVISION SD1 G.

The machine magicians of S-7 take facts and figures transposed onto keypunched cards, feed them into the computer, and through gentle coaxing. persuade the electronic brain to produce amazingly accurate reports, some- how making sense out of the multitude of data which is fad into the oversized abacus.
