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.
