Beneath summer skies, with a background of snow-capped mountains, we lay in dry dock at Bremerton, Washington, while the ship's sides and bottom were scraped clean and painted, the flight deck thoroughly overhauled and general repairs made throughout the entire ship in preparation for our overseas trip. The sight of Welders at work and the sounds of pounding hammers and sand blasters became so common- place that the silence which followed the completion of our yard period was strange. . . but gratefully welcomed.

Following a test run and minor repairs We were off on the first leg of our Oriental Journey.

All preparations for our Oriental Journey having been completed, all hands joined in the final Stateside fling. With food and drink a- plenty and the orchestra playing our favorite music, soft and mellow, everyone attending the farewell party had a good time.
