Arriving at Gitmo for a period of training... Underway for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the Fleet Training Group for Refresher Training, GEORGETOWN incurred rough seas her first day off stormy Cape Hatteras. Continuing her southerly route, the weather warmed as GEORGETOWN changed time zones and climates. In Guantanamo Bay, GEORGETOWN underwent rigorous training in a two-week program designed to test the physical ability of the ship and her crew under simulated battle conditions and problems. In- cluded in the training were seamanship exercises which included hi-iine replenishment exercises and precision anchoring and docking. Hi-lines were conducted with the USS HOLDER, USS O ' HARE and the USCG CAMPBELL. General Quarters exercises involving nuclear attack, damage control and air attack were executed as a part of our training by Fleet Training Group observers. The two week training period was culminated by a general material inspection by Commander, FTG. Having successfully completed her Refresher Training, GEORGETOWN again got underway on November 3, for Kingston, Jamaica.
