Enright was relieved as Commanding Officer of the USS BOSTON by Captain Glover T. Ferguson. After his one year tour aboard BOSTON, Capt. Enright proceeded to Wash- ington, D.C. for duty with the Chief of Naval Operations. With Captain Ferguson came a crew's captain, a fine ship-handler, and an old cruiser-man. Few Commanding Officers have gained in so short a time the love and respect this crew holds for Captain Ferguson. Lemme at 'er Same damn cake I had last year

G-'LT.A.JN'T.A.JN'.A.J3ZECJ BAY, CTJEA BOSTON'S first cruise after the long period in the yards at Charlestown took her to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba-better known to sailors as GITMO. During the two weeks BOSTON was in GITMO, she under- went a period of intensive refresher-training designed to bring the crew back to maximum battle efficiency after a pro- longed period out of action. Between the many strenuous exercises and the Operational Readiness Inspection Prepara- tions, however, there was still time to enioy the wonderful trop- ical climate. While the base at GITMO is understandably closed off from the rest of Cuba, facilities there for fun, rest, and relaxation are many. The ship's picnic proved to be the social highlight of the cruise. Plenty of beer and food, Latin music, and athletics provided all with a fine chance to break the monotony of the vigorous training schedule. After only two weeks of what is normally a five or six week training period, BOSTON streamed homeward out of Guantanamo Bay well prepared to assume her role of one of the nation's most responsible fighting units.
