AO.,-,, lx 5 HMM B efx X -x X xxx ' ww x The USS ASHTABULA QAO-51D known throughout the fleet as the FLYING A was named in honor of the Ashtabula River in Ohio. Built by the Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard in Maryland and launched in August of 1943, the ASHTABULA sailed via the Panama Canal to Samoa where she became a service unit of the South Pacific Fleet. The ASHTABULA operated in the vicinity of the Marshall Islands from May until September of 1944. On the 22nd of October, she proceeded to Leyte Gulf and commenced refueling members of the task group assembled there. While operating in that area. the ASHTABULA came under air attack and a torpedo hit the num- ber six wing tank and it exploded, there were no fire or per- sonnel casualties. Within an hour, the ship had a thirteen and one half degree list to port. The following day three more planes flew over the convoy but were driven off by gunfire. One of the planes appeared on the port bow of the ASHTABULA and was shot down before it could turn away. In April of 1945, the ASHTABULA collided with the USS THORNTON CAVD-IID. The THORNTON sighted the task unit and in the confusion of trying to avoid them, she turned directly into the path of the ASHTABULA. The ASHTABULA'S bow struck the THORNTON amidships causing considerable damage. The THORNTON was taken under tow while the ASHTABULA, undamaged, continued servicing the fleet during the remainder of the war. In 1954 the ASHTABULA suffered a tragic ex- plosion in Sasebo, japan. Gasoline fumes from the forward tanks ignited from a welding spark and the forward well deck was literally blown off the ship. But the ships basic structure , f,,,,,,.,r was undamaged and she continued to serve the Pacific Fleet as she had in the past. In January of 196o, the FLYING A returned to the United States to participate in the Everett, Washington Armed Forces Day Celebration. The ship's company marched in the parade through town and then an Open house was held aboard ship. Over seven thousand people took advantage of this opportunity to visit the ASHTABULA. More recently, in june and july of 1961, the FLYING A received a well done from Commander Seventh Fleet for having seventy seven ships alongside in one month. In one thirty six day period, the ASI-ITABULA spent only thirty nine hours in port. In September, the ship once again returned to Long Beach to service the First Fleet. . Emerging from a lengthy four month yard period in February 1963, the ASI-ITABULA underwent a month of refresher trai- ning in the San Diego area. It was a proud moment when the ASI-ITABIILA learned she had received the highest grade given to a Fleet AO in seven years. As it had practically every year since 1944, ASHTABULA de- ployed once again in july of 196 5. After breaking practically every record for a Westpac cruise including 33 ships in one twenty four hour period, and refueling over Kl4OO ships during the cruise the ASHTABLILA returned home to Long Beach, tired, after much work, but proudly wearing its going home pennant over I8O feet long, knowing that 1965-66 had indeed been an outstanding year in the glorious, if not glamorous, career of a grand lady of the sea.

SN, STEWART Z 7 FIR T DI I IO For those of you who have never heard the early call of the boatswain mate pipe, you have certainly missed something. Punctually at six o'clock every morning, he passes reveille, waking the tired and overworked deck hands with his familar call. From this first call, to the soft call of taps, the average deck ape spends his day doing a variety of things. Of primary concern is the general appearance of the ship. His responsibilities cover everything from painting the sides, rigging, boats, shining lockers, to that well earned smoke break. Clean, chip, and paint are the order of the day. The head of the department is the First Lieutenant who is somewhere between the devil and an angel. Although at times we have gripes, Mr. PIECH does a fine job of keeping the Flying A the best of the oilers. The First Lieutenant is ably assisted by our own division officer. Ist Division is responsible for rigs 2, 3, 4.. First Division has the best rigs, although Second Division does not always agree, but then they are always second. The rigs are the responsibility, for the most part of our South of the Border Chief, Chief CARDENAS. The chief does a fine job of seeing that the safety of the men comes before all else. Of course First Division stands their share of mid watches, and also those inspections, in which they always look sharp. Though First Division works long and hard hours their morale is always A-1 and that is why they are QI. So as that great Chineseman once said to the deck ape, May your rust never run.', as ,Qf , 4. v.vs7' ,aff -, Hw .V ff, 7 .j..,, ' lL f' I X 322 'aku xv -if f ' I - .x Q V 7 it , f 1.1, a W 1 -. , . - -v ' A - . , ' f V V, , ' . .

The Boatswains Mates with their coffee cups in hand and pressed dungarees, hollering orders to the working backbone of the Navy: the SEAMAN. LTJG Marslender from Washington, North Carolina, Second Division Officer is always on hand and available to the men, at times even acting as chaplain. Breland BMI from Covington La. is the division's Leading Petty Officer, known throughout the Far East as the Honchof' Untiring, he carries the big load of the second. The second never hollers for help - they always say get Breland, with assistance from R. M. Boyer, BM2 from Long Beach, California, C. Adkinson, BM2 from Long Beach, California and H. Tarrants, BM3 from Pochontas, Arkansas, and the job is always completed in the best traditions of the Navy-4.0 fashion. The seamen are proud of their record 4oo plus ships replenished, working around the clock, available at all hours, doing the job in humid, hot weather with temperatures sometimes above loo degrees. Rain or shine they never stopped and when the dreaded rough seas and storms came they never backed away. The men of the second can handle it, they run the heavy weather fuel stations with their 7 inch 3oo foot hoses. They fuel anything that comes alongside from the small mine sweepers to the worldis largest lighting ships, the carriers. Routine work for the division goes like clockwork. With their Honcho Breland hollering lets go apes, and the seamen answering you got that right, you can count on 4.0 results when the job is completed. if-.. af ff 'X fw 5032 Q ,V Hvf Nw ffff ' X A jig X Kmmh. ya, my 'X W ,,..---6 THIRD DIE il IO FRONT ROW .

Due to our more specialized work, outstanding seamen are chosen periodically from first and second divisions to strike for the gunners' mate or fire control rates. Our primary job is maintaining the ship's armament, consisting of four three inch go caliber gun mounts and two Mark 51 gun directors. It's a full time job remaining ready in all respects while o eratin in P g unfriendly waters. Breaking out ammo while on 'Q Market Time is only a small part of the preparation and training necessary to remain an effective combatant ship. Lectures, loading drill contests with beer as a prize to the winners, added a lot of interest and incentive to our battle readiness status. Being there and being ready made us eligible for the five months' combat pay which we drew this cruise. The port and starboard Hi-Lines are also the responsibility of third division during refueling operations. The 40 tons of mail delivered by Hi-Line during one of our Christmas season unreps showed how important that job is to the moral of the sailors and ships we serve. The ASI-ITABULNS efficiency and rig time while unreping was enhanced by our top grade line throwers: Chief Chuculate, Dead-eye Edwards, Shoot-em-up Koeller, Cigar-winner Hagen, and our backup man Anchor Hughes. They have, with the exception of hitting a few men with bolos or throwing lines down the stacks of other ships, done a fine job this Cruise, Third division is also known for it's Steamers , and as Big Ed will 1-eadil t H y e you, We play like we work .......

It is the eyes and ears of the ship, and also the records keeper and jack-of-all-trades. Starting from the signal bridge we have the signalmen whose job appears to be quite easy when the Flying A is steaming independently. But let a ship come within visual range and the signalmen seem to be everywhere at once, sending and receiving messages by flashing light and semaphore and still finding time to run flag hoists. On the next deck We Hnd the quartermasters whose never ending and sometimes boring job is to keep the charts and navigational equipment in top shape. NVith the aid of the Navigator, they tell us where to go and how to get there. It sometimes seems like a miracle as to how they can look at a star and tell us exactly Qsomctimesj where we are when the nearest land is the bottom of the sea. On this same deck level we the ship's eyes, the radarmen. They are the ones who guide the ship through rain and fog. Their main job is supplying information to the Officer of the Deck concerning what ships are about and where they are. It is amazing how they can take a maneuvering board, parallel rulers and dividers and tell us what course and speed a ship is on and just how close he will come when the ship is still 2o miles away. Going down another deck we Hnd the ears ofthe Flying A, the radiomen. These guys tell us where to go. Day in and day out they are taking in and sending out messages and letting us know who wants what and when. Included with the radiomen is a very small group with a very big job, the electronics technicians. VVithout these people we wouldn't have our KASI-I radio station. Actually they do have a big job in that they are on constant call to answer any emergency when our electronic equip- ment in Combat or Radio breaks down. On down in they Ship's Office we find our yeomen and personnelmen. They see that all our records are kept straight and up to date and most of all let us know how much leave We have on the books. They also keep us informed as to what benehts the Navy has to offer. Many is the time they have wished they had never set eyes on a typewriter. Going back aft We find the three men responsible for our health,.the corpsmen. They take care of all out little ailments and stand by to react SVVlftlyll1 case of emer- gency. Their calm presence is always reassuring. Last W3 havg the man most res onsible for out happiness and morale the postal P . . i . . clerk, He is the one who brings us the gifts and good tidings from home. His job does not end with just the crew though and many is the ship we refueled this cruise that can thank him for the letters they received from home that we delivered to them while alongside.

How does the ASHTABULA'S Supply Department function and what services are provided? There are Hve areas of supply: Commissary, Disbursing, Service, Stewards, and Store- keepers. The Commissarymen are responsible for ordering and maintaining sufficient quantities of food and the preparation of appetizing meals. It is a tremendous job under ideal conditions, and ask anyone, conditions are not always ideal. Many times, due to long unreps, the galley is working from early morning to late at night to insure that hot food is always ready for the crew. Disbursing, the smallest component of Supply, is at least twice a month the most important. To prepare for each payday our DK spends many hours computing pay record and typing the all important pay list. In addition, there are allotments to register, taxes to figure and at least a hundred items concerning financial control. The Ship's Servicemen provide the crew with many personal needs important in maintaining high morale. The facilities operated by the SI-I's include the barber shop, REGULATION HAIR CUTS AND SHGRT SIDEBURNS ONLY, clothing and small stores, laundry, and the ships store where 72,ooo cans of soft drinks were sold this cruise. These jobs require both accuracy and precision. The Stewards are charged with the responsibility of maintaining 0fHcer's Country and pre- paring meals for the Vlfardroom. This requires versatility and professional ability. The ms necessary in keeping the ASHTABULA on the Line. This includes orderin recei A Storekeepers maintain a balanced stock of ite g, ving, storing and accountability of all stock on board. Storekeepers also record the amount of fuels transferred to other ships. Each of the above C0mP0nCnfS, by working together efficiently provide the necessary services and that is the missi f h - on o t e Supply Department - maximum service. mmm,- Ali- 'if' as , . 4 Q ,, ZQKMA f .M W.

Scheduling authorities for our services send a multitude of messages to virtually every ship in the Seventh Fleet, setting up rendezvous between carrier task groups and service force ships, and keeping all the units informed as to where we are and when we can fuel. The intracacy of the operation begins as soon as a customer ship is located. Our signal gang gets busy early, asking the customer ship by flashing light about requirements and other phases of our operation. As the customer ship and the ASHTABULA approach the rendezvous point, man all underway replenishment stations is passed, and virtually everyone on our ship goes to their 1 X in, eventually hooking up our spanwires, which support the hoses as they ride their trolleys to go over and do their job When hooked up, the customer ship signals when she is ready to take on fuel. At that instant, we start our fuel pumps d , an f rom out vast tanks comes much-needed fuel for the Nav 's shi 5 , Y and airplanes. When filled up the receiving ship signals us adjd we stop our pumps and take our rigs. The customer ship, once again Filled with fuel and ready to d o her job, departs from alongside. That is an UNREP-3 Stor of complexity and efficiency. And don't fgg-get to Chalk u 1 more for AO-gi. P ne assigned station. The engineers man the huge pumps and fuel control station, deck personnel quickly set up the fueling rigs, and Supply breaks out dry cargo and mail for delivery. Shiphandling must be at its best when two or more ships operate alongside each other while making way through the water, and t0 make sure we are at our best, our bridge watch is manned by most qualified personnel. As soon as we are steady on the LlNREP course and speed, We signal the other ship, who then begins her delicate approach from her waiting station astern of us. When the customer ship is alongside, we pass small shot lines over, and she takes them ,H-fm-V' , UN REP MEANS CO-GRDINATIGN fy ' Q1 'i Underway replenishment today is the strongest tool our Navy uses for keeping the Fleet moving and on station for the greatest amount of time. To be accomplished smoothly and quickly, much co-ordination is needed. Initial hook-up between ASHTABLILA and the customer', ship is done with the bolo method or shot over by a gun. By means of line connec- tion our huge hoses smoothly ride the spanwire connecting the two ships, and the customer ship is ready to hook up. On the signal from the cus- tomer ship, we start our huge CARGO pumps, and the delivery of fuel begins. Phone talkers co-ordinating stations both on our ship and between our ship and the customer relay information quickly. On our decks, working parties quickly move our dry cargo to the hook-up area to be transferred. They all make it go--the signalman who establishes the shi is spotted right down contact 35 S0011 SIS P tor in the pump room.

Although the adage is most true, those of us who served on the ASHTABULA is WESTPAC can go one better than that if you want to see ships, serve on an oiler. In our nine plus month deployment we saw and served virtually every kind of ship in our Navy, and foreign navies as well. At one time, we had USS MAURY QAGS-165 an oceanographic survey ship and the USS SAFEGUARD QARS-255 a rescue and salvage ship, alongside at the same time. It was the MAURY'S Hrst unrep in nearly two years and even though we veterans were prepared for anything USS MAURY performed very well, while poor little SAEEGUARD was being swallowed up by the rough seas we had that day. While steaming one day to meet the gigantic USS ENTERPRISE, nuclear powered supercarrier, our lookouts reported a huge dark cloud on the horizon. As we watched the cloud approach us to our amazement it turned out to be the BIG E, 1040 feet of floating magnificence, and firepower. As she pulled alongside she cast a huge shadow over us Qshe is nearly twice as longj. To the other side came the nuclear powered guided missile Erigate USS BAINBRIDGE. Proud we were that day in servicing the nuclear fleet. On the other side of the picture we remember the little ones also, and the scene that was played so many times as we made our countless number of journeys up and down market time,', the coastal waters Off Viet Nam. Many times combat would evaluate a radar contact as a small fishing boat. As it came into view, we could see it bob like a cork in the water but it wasn't a fishing boat, it was another of our minesweepers coming out for fuel. Small little craft that made us appear like a giant when they pulled alongside, but doing a BIG job in guarding the coast-that is the minesweeper. PLEDGE, DYNAMIC, ILLUSIVE, GAL- LANT, you name it, we saw it. By far and away our most frequent customers were destroyers. Countless numbers of the cans', were serviced by the Flying A in our nine months. No matter where they were, steaming with the huge carriers like RANGER, KITTYHAWK, CORAL SEA, INDEPENDENCE, TICONDEROGA, ORISKANY, MIDWAY, HANCOCK, ENTERPRISE, AND BON HOMME RICHARD fwe saw them all tooy, or on gunfire missions close in to land, we were always there when they needed gas and good music. From the huge cruisers like OKLAHOMA CITY and GALVESTON, to small destroyer escort radar ships, from carriers to cans, nuclear powered giants to the WILHOITE'S whaleboat, we saw them all, vividly giving might to our little phrase- if you want to see ships, serve on an oilerf' 5 D rf' ,VKZZW ill-is n i r. i L f fwzwwf MWZWWWWWX W' Wvwvw NW!

Two ships or usually three steaming at I2 knots or better in rough seas in the pitch black of night separated by fifty to loo yards creates at the very least a delicate situation. Add to this the six fuel hoses and their supporting spanwires, eight phone lines, two high lines and two distance lines connecting the ships and it becomes immediately apparent that any deviation from course or speed by either ship would spell lightning fast disaster. The Navy term for such a position between two ships is in entremis , and no skipper in his right mind ever gets in extremis . But our business creates this situation for many hours at a time. Only through the most keen attention to every detail and the reflex like reactions of highy professional mariners is disaster averted, When a problem develops, the Commanding Officer must in split seconds make his decision. The standard procedure when danger appears iminent is to have an emergency breakaway. Fighting against time as the ships draw away from each other the rigs must be broken and sent back before they become tight and break. Fortunately during the cruise we didn't loose any rigs. But as these Pictures testify: We did get a few badly mangled ones. And we'll always remember the day COMSEVENTHFLT stole our highline. CWe did have it returned in port.D ms, if PERSGNNEL HIGHLINE TRANSFER TEAM MAN THE CATWALK Our most distinguished visitor of the cruise, Rear Admiral McPherson, COMASWGRU 5, visited ASHTABURA twice when his flagship the USS BENNINGTON was alongside refueling. The Cargo deck complete with sideboys in life jackets and Captain Boe, took on an air of dignity that was a welcome respite from the day in day out transfer of less noteworthy cargo. VERTREP VERTREP Another break in the usual UNREP routine came when we heard now man the helo detail. At such times a tension would grip the ship while the helo made its approach and hovered over our bow to deliver mail and passengers while both helo and ship proceeded at I6 knots. At times it seemed like the bird would tangle its wings in our many masts and antenna, but with very careful teamwork and highly skilled pilots all went smoothly. w , MM!

V- ff' 3 Of course, between the days and nights of work came the fun and the ASHTABULA sailors maintained a full schedule of sport ing throughout the cruise. While in Subic Bay, the crew invaded Grande Island many times for games of golf, tennis, softball and football. Scenes on this typical of the sporting events high point in the season was the 3 page are held. A big game of softball between the officers and crew in which the officers overcame Freels, CS2, and beat the Mates, lo-6. Bullet 'i In participating in a wide program of sports, the ASI-ITABULA men kept in fine physical shape, and with somethin 8 for everyone, we all enjoyed ourselves very much. Z ,fe 7 ix' ZZ 7 Z , X X ,A Not limiting ourselves by participating in sports only while in port, we set up the infamous smoker.,' When We had a free sunday while at sea, we held a series of boxing matches, with men of similar size battling it out to be tops in their class. The unrep band was always on hand with background music, adding much to the very enjoyable after- noons that we took off, laying down our rigs and getting away from it all. As you can see nearly everyone showed up to root for their mates as they battled for prizes of early liberty and gift certificates. Many of the spectators even gave up their valuable rack time to catch the events. While in Sasebo and Yokosuka, japan, awaiting the long but enjoyable trip home, we formed a basketball team that stacked up an impressive record while encountering teams from the shore stations and other ships in the area. One of the big wins was a 73-33 stomp over the team from USS CALIENTE. The softball team that played in Subic Bay during our time there also did much to keep the name NASHTABULA high among those of the hard-working oilers. 'Sci oUR X2 fy, 2 BAND Providing many enjoyable entertainment sessions both during our sunday smokers and UNREPS was our band. Composed of three guitarists, Osenbaugh, MM3, Doll, SK3, and johnson, SN and drummer Levine, MM3, they gave swinging musical performances that were enjoyed by our customer ships just as much as our own crew as they worked on the rigs. BEER POR BLOOD During our visits to Hong Kong in November and january, our ASHTABULA crew donated nearly loo pints of blood t0 the needy British Red Cross. As a token of their apprecia- tion, the association presented free beer to all who gave, and it was quickly disposed of fas you can seej by our thirsty mates when we pulled in for a few days in Kiwhsiung' Nothing like material rewards, we always say! if f f ,ff ,. , , fgff if? ffm? fy 1 Q!! USS ASHTABULA DRILL TEAM A welcome addition to shipboard life occurred late in our cruise with the formation of our drill team. Resplendent in iinmaculate unifrom, spats, guard belts, and chromed helmets, they? added a sense of military pageantry to the sometimes humdrum routine of a service force ship. Capably led by the officer in charge, Ens. Sturgell and the drill instructor Arqyrakis, SN, the team had ten membersg Clarke, SNg Benevides, SNQ Oliver, R. SNg Oliver, D. SAg Grishow, C. SAQ james, H. SAg Miles, R. SNg Letcher, W. SAg and McCaughan, C. SA. PUR To get our huge ship into port takes a good deal of preparation. Our arrivals at Subic Bay, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Sasebo and Yokosuka were planned days in ad- vance to ensure a smooth, on-time arrival. Messages were sent out to port control authorities, sup- ply and ammunition depots, and of course fueling activities, letting all concerned know just what cargo we were bring- ing with us, and what we would need in the way of fuel, supplies and other necessities. The navigator and his team laid out the intended track for approaching and entering various ports. To bring the ship in, the navigation team was up and in operation be- fore land was sighted, making sure our approach would be a safe one. The deck force was usually busy tearing down our fueling rigs, getting them ready for inport upkeep and maintenance. Many times the same rigs that supported the gigantic fueling hoses were used to lower our boats into the water, and to put on and take off the vehicles we brought from home. In passing into the harbor we spent much time in both giving and rendering honors to our Seventh Fleet ships, and in answering honors given by merchant ships of the friendly nations. 5. 5 ACTI ITIE Because ASI-ITABULA is of such huge dimensions, and Weighs nearly 26,ooo tons, we had to be guided to our berth by tug boats. Two were usually enough, and with the guidance of skillful pilots supplied by the various ports, and some skill of our own, we never failed to make a smart entry into port, and safe move to our assigned pier. So it was into port-to replenish ourselves before we again returned to the vast South China Sea to accomplish our mission-to support our huge fleet as best we can. To do this, countless numbers of working parties, some involving as many as loo men, worked feverishly at getting our cargo loaded, and moving the cargo we brought with us onto the pier. The huge hoses connected, we began taking on fuel-fuel that we would deliver to hundreds of ships throughout our many trips to the war-torn area of Viet Nam. The ship loaded, all cargo on, the gangway over to the pier, we were ready for a few day of inport routine, a routine that will bring the one thing we had waited for since last we left-LIBERTY. ff wELC0MEmoLoueAm I LSMILITARY Pfnsonnsi on usenrv i W-IIIIINII OLOMGAPQPLEASE OBSERVE THE ...Nh fivonbi dhiielrieroun Mom on Tue smears.

'r'5tUQvIQi?i2I?ii BIC BAY For the first four and a half months of our cruise we were convinced that there was only one port in WESTPAC-Subic Bay. Hot and humid Subic Bay. From the South China Sea to the POL pier, to Riviera Point, we made the rounds time and time again. This port with limited facilities and an increasing tempo of operations was the home for the ships on the line and many were the hours we would wait for service due to the overcrowding of all facilities. Who can forget Transcor desperately trying to get men, mail and materials out to the fleet, loading us with transients, up to 70 a trip, mail, by the hundreds of bags, and cargo which seemingly hid Ashtabula's cargo deck. Yes, Subic is the working port for the SEVENTH FLEET, and though at times we grew impatient, we know that the Fleet and the Country owe a great deal to the men at Subic Bay who work tirelessly under very difficult conditions to serve the Fleet. Subic Bay was also a port of fun. Parties at Grande Island with steak and beer and so many activities were enjoyed by all. Golf, basketball, baseball, tennis and even water skiing were top attractions. It was also the site of a big ship's party at Sparks Club attended by all ship's company and held for two nights. The party featured booze, a real roast pig complete with an apple in his mouth, and entertainment by a very talented juggler and a pair of exotic dancers. Tours to the surrounding areas were also a big success, especially the overnight tour to Manila.

In Hong Kong the contrasts between East and West, poverty and plenty, modern and traditional were vividly portrayed. But the thing we will probably remember when all else is for- gotten will be those hour long boat rides across the harbor dodging ferries, passing the proud ships of so many nations and just enjoying the fabulous views unfolded before us. llJivQ lmllqli XJ' ,f X f' ,Q Sasebo, Japan was the site of our longest inport period in WESTPAC. This great harbour is one of the world's largest shipbuilding centers. All around us we could see ships in construction and maintenance and glimpses inside the immense buildings with the giant ovens, forges and cranes, gave some indication of the industrial might that has made Japan first worldwide in shipbuilding. Perhaps the friendliest people we met in WESTPAC, the people gf Sasebo made our stay most enjoyable. We dined on sukiyaki, drank sake with gohan and sipped that ancient cure for all ills, akadama. We also reveled in the luxury of the japanese baths after many months of Navy regulation showers. Japan also separated us from our savings. We flocked to buy tape recorders, sets of china and many other of the items that are available at good Prices' A highlight of our stay was the trip to Nagasaki which was enjoyed by all. Yokosuka, japan was the first and the last port of our WESTPAC cruise. Its lush countryside greeted us on arrival and bid us goodbye, or sayonara upon our departure. Hong Kong, Subic Bay, Kaohsiung, Sasebo, and Yokosuka-these were the ports We visited. Not like home, but filled with beauty, excitement, and enchantment. Miss ASHTABULA-MORE THAN A PICTURE Ask any member of our crew, and he will testify that there never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish all that must be done when we are deployed in WESTPAC. But that is the mark of the American Navymen--trememdous amounts of work done in a minimum amount of time. No matter how many ships we refueled in any one day, no matter how much time we spent in making our ship look as smart as it does, regardless of how much time spent on liberty in efforts to see what we saw, with us each day was the memory of our loved ones at home. A wife, some children, a fiance, a sweatheart, a dear friend. Daily we were laden with memories of the people whom we would not see for nearly ten months. Typifying those dear people whose presence was so sorely missed throughout our long deployment is a pretty young girl from West Covina, California. Her name is Susan Campay, whose picture was submitted by Harold E. Golightly, RDSN. Susan was chosen from a host of contestants by our 270-man crew to be THE girl to represent all the loved ones, and ALL Americans and other Free People, for whom we worked as a member to the mighty Seventh Fleet. h back ridin and she hopes to soon become a student at Mount San Antonio Susan's favorite passtime is orse g, College in California. Her beauty is truly representative of the many hours all of us spent thinking of that special someone back home. That is Susan Campay, our Miss ASHTABULA --more than a picture. -memories we have of ships, foreign exotica, memories are those of the men with whom we s the wisdom we gained from having served together and the sea.
