Korea next! Buoy 18, old faithful still, awaits us in Sasebo Harbor. Underway for combat area. We buckle down. Back in Sasebo after first operating period on the line. Liberty deserved (and taken advantage of) by all hands. Sightseeing tours are held and rest leaves depart. The hero returneth ... Operating in Korean waters. Our planes fly combat oir patrols. Target Combat Air Patrol, Armed Reconnaissance, Pre-Briefed Strikes, Photo Reconnaissance, and Air Spot for naval gun firing missions. 282 sorties were launched during this period. An average of 31 planes left our decks per day. Moored to buoy 1 8, Sasebo Harbor. Where have we seen fhat before- ' .Liberty in Sasebo over. We noted the changes made since our lost visit and departed again for the line. Steaming toward Sasebo. Gunnery exercises. Jet tracking exer- cises. Moor to fuel dock in Sasebo. No rest for the weary. Back again. Home is the sailor, home from the sea ... Even buoy 18 looks good at this stage of the game. Red sails in the sun-uh-rise. The open sea again becomes a port of us. The enemy awaits. Operations have ended. At long lost the moment we hove awaited has arrived. Two days of liberty in Yokosuka and a tired warrior and her crew will sail for home. VMA-312 says goodbye to us. UNDERWAY FOR UNITED STATES VIA PEARL HARBOR. Soyonara, Tokyo — you know who I mean. Arrive in Pearl Harbor again. Hula girls await. The crew breaks out the lawn mowers. The lines leave the docks. No stops this time. Point Loma dead ahead. California here I come. SAN DIEGO ' I like it, I like it. Thus the third tour has been completed.
