Bolster (ARS 38) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1980 volume:

HffnH • - il — ' I I Bolster departed Pearl Harbor on 18 September 1979 witb the Republic of Korea Ship GuMi, as Bolster headed for an extensive tour of the Micro- nesian Islands. During the transit through the twenty-two islands of the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, the ship was visited by Neptunus Rex and the lowly pollywogs of Bolster were initiated into the Solemn Mysteries of the Order of the Deep. Before arriving in Yokosuka, Japan, Bolster vis- ited Chinhae, Republic of Korea, to conduct joint salvage exercises with the Korean Ship GuMi. Christmas Season marked the half-way point of Bolster ' s Westpac Deployment with the crew en- joying a few days of well deserved liberty in the Yokosuka, Japan area. Just three days into the new year. Bolster departed Yokosuka, Japan and headed south for the port of Hong Kong. During the week long transit Bolster experienced some rough seas and high winds, but we were able to maintain our transit speed and arrived on schedule. From the 10th to the 14th of January we enjoyed the fascinating and entertaining life of Hong Kong. From Hong Kong, we made the three day transit to the Republic of the Philip- pines, entering Subic Bay on the 18th of January for a three week industrial maintenance and upkeep period. While in the Philippines, we had the opportunity to show-off Bolster to three admirals: Vice Admiral Bag- gett. Commander Naval Surface Force United States Pa- cific Fleet; Rear Admiral Frudden, Commander Naval Surface Group Western Pacific; and Rear Admiral Leven- son. Commander United States Naval Forces Philippines. In the beginning of February, Bolster headed east with a large floating crane in tow, slowly crossing the last 4000 mile leg of our 17,000 mile Westpac Deployment. After stopping in Guam and Midway for fuel, Bolster arrived in Pearl Harbor on March 10, 1980. TRUST TERRITORIES OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS •W ' a . Kwajalein Atoll marked the beginning of the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands patrol for the Bolster when it arrived there on 30 September 1979. The Diamond Head of the Pacific stands out at the entrance to Ponape. As Bolster neared the end of its twenty-two island tour through the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, many of the atolls began to appear the same. It got so that one just couldn ' t tell the difference between Kapingamarangi and Farau- lep. Because many of the islands had steep under- water slopes, Bolster steamed off-shore of many of the islands as a five-man rubber raft carried the ship ' s technical experts to the beach to assist the islanders. Upon arriving at many of the islands the Bolster crew found that the islanders had a wide variety of items to trade which varied from wood carvings to an extensive array of shells. Some members of the Bolster crew found fishballs to be a worthwhile item to collect. i Since Bolster couldn ' t anchor within all the atolls, the islanders came to the ship to trade. As the native islanders came to the Bolster, the crew collected model boats, shells and fishballs, by trading cigaretes, soap, and candy. mmmm In order to prepare Bolster for the visit of King Nep- tune, a talent show and beau- ty pageant were held a day before his arrival. The MC for the events were QMC Williamson, who was helped, underhandedly by SMC Vera. Kimo Fuller puts on a command performance for the Bolster crew as the night ' s festivities continued. Tiny bumpers danced to the Ulul top rated hit. As the different depart- ments prepared for the beau- ty pageant, SA Pearson just couldn ' t resist the tempta- tion. 10 n During the shellback initiation, the pollywogs ruled the ship except for the fantail, where the shellbacks put the wogs through an array of garbage, garnished with an occasional raw egg. 12 The true sailor comes out! 13 It was surprizing what the crew would do to each other after a month of sea-time. Of course, some crew members promised anything to get the easy treatment. 14 As the wogs approached the end of the trial period, the XO posed the question, to determine if one was ready to become a trusted shellback. The XO was guardian of the garbage trough. Mr. Jeffries finally tastes his own . . . ■y..- w - ' 15 It was surprizing what the crew would do to each other after a month of sea-time.

Many events in South Korea were different than those encounted in Pearl Harbor as the South Korean Navy went to General Quarters frequently. 16 Duffy ' s was the hot spot of hinhae as the crew enjoyed iocializing with the South Koreans. For many it was a jlace to relax, play a little ainball or just get away from he ship. Another E-5 and above versus E-4 and below football game saw the over the hill gang beat the young- sters 56-0!! II 17 PEOPLE OF CHINHAE During Bolster ' s two week stay in Chinhae, the crew found time to tour the city and meet the people of our host city. Many of the sights were similar to American cities. Many of the crewmembers spent time by working at a local hospital projecting an image of goodwill for the United States Navy and the Bolster. rprr i |y - ' s SaEigBi W M 4 18 After leaving the city of Chinhae, Bolster made the short trip to Pusan, Korea, for three days of visiting on 17 November, 1979. QMSA Wagnon, HT3 Henning and EM3 Reina took advantage of the low prices found in the Pusan market places. 19 JAPAN The next country Bolster stopped at was Japan. Bolster stayed one week in Sasebo, Japan, then headed for the Philippine Islands for a target tow assignment. Bolster arrived in Yokosuka on 21 December 1979 after a week of beach mat recovery operations off the coast of Numazu. During the Christmas, New Year Season the Bolster crew traveled extensively throughout Japan, visiting various monuments and cities. The most impressive monument visited in Ja- pan was the 44 feet Daibutsu of Kamakura. 20 21 Membeis of the Engineering Depan- meni sample some of tbe shops in Ja- pan.

This British Colony, lo- cated on the southeast coast of the Peoples Republic of China (mainland China) in the South China Sea was established in the 1800 ' s when the large trad- ing companies of Europe, ex- ploiting the resources of China, needed a safe port for their ships. The island of Hong Kong was ceded to the British in 1841 and although scarcely populat- ed, the colony was established. Today the colony is a bustling port of 7 million residents and consists of the island of Hong Kong, the Kowloon and New Territories Districts located on a peninsula jetting out from mainland China, and 235 outly- ing islands. The port features excellent beaches, picturesque scenery, numerous shopping bargains and some of the world ' s best restaurants. 26 MR3 Haarman and ET3 Peterson cruise the waterways of Hong Kong. 27 30 31 ■K -. ;• 33 Many of the sights of the Philippines go unnoticed by the Westpac sailor as Olongapo City is usually the first and last stop.
