27 Aug. Underway for Pearl Harbor, a little late in the day! We had been delayed several hours because of an inoperative feed water pump. Finally we left to catch up with the USS UNION QAKA-1065, USS GUNSTON-HALL QLSD-55, and USS DIACHENKO QAPD-1235 with whom we would steam home. 2 Sept. Caught up with the other ships. 6 Sept. Arrived Pearl Harbor, cleared ous- toms and loaded 14 automobiles for shipment to San Diego. 17 Aug. Underway from Hong Kong for Yoko- Suka, Japan, We were really getting to be short timers!! 21 Aug, Arrived Yokosuka for a short upkeep period and our last chance to shop. The pat- tern first set in Sasebo was still identifiable! sas , y Am, Q f ,A ., . ,. , 26 ff f it A-4 M f X V, 5 f 0 V,-,. .. 'I NW' ,M H 3 W- ,rg , ,' 5 3 1 ,ffm , ,..,w ,5 . - ,g I I' k YM: A '

8 Aug. Underway from Subic Bay enroute to Hong Kong B.C.C. 16 Aug. Arrived Hong Kong and commenced liberty. The Boat Group began operation to provide liberty boats for the USS AMERICA QCVA-667. Again this did not turn out to be too big a chore although more was required this time because the commercial ferries quit running for a day and a half when a storm threatened Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, we loaded a Frisco Flyer that belonged to a Navy Dentist and carried it back to San Diego. f En.. E ' U 6' 1 I . 1 , I -,. 1 . , l 'UQ- 2 . wr- ,z su ltr Q 'LQ.,,,.,. 35

COMMENCED LEAVE AND LIBERTY -- except for the pa- rade detail that had to practice for the parade the next day.
