AT CONSTANTA WE MADE WHAT CAN HONESTLY BE CALLED OUR MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION OF THE ENTIRE CRUISE. HERE, WE NOT ONLY HAD TO BE GOOD SAILORS, BUT AMBASSADORS OF GOOD WILL. OUR PERFORMANCE HERE CAN BE DESCRIBED AS NO LESS THAN OUTSTANDING. ASW WEEK, NATIONAL WEEK, AND THE AMPHIBIOUS EXERCISE AT CARBONARAS WERE OUR LAST OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS. HERE AGAIN THE LONG HOURS OF PREPARATION PAID OEE IN A DEMONSTRATED ExPERTISE OF EXECUTION. ON LIBERTY TOO, WE PROvED THAT WE COULD HAVE A GOOD TIME WHILE STILL REELECTING CREDIT UPON THE AMERICAN SAILOR ABROAD. AND WHEN THERE WASN'T A LIBERTY PORT AvAILABLE, WE MANAGED TO MAKE OUR OWN ENTERTAINMENT. SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD, STACK GAS AND THE OvERLOADS, AND TEEN ANGEL ALL HELPED TO EASE THE TENSION EVERY NOW AND THEN. OUR ALL-NIGHT TELETHON WAS ESPECIALLY WELCOME EOR THOSE WITH CHANNEL FEVER. IN RETROSPECT WE CAME THROUGH MED CRUISE 75 LOOKING LIKE A WINNER. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE WILLINGNESS OF ALL HANDS TO WORK HARD AND A DESIRE TO EXCEL.
