Cn 'july 2, 1954, the U. s. s. BREMERTQN QCA-1301 had a lnirthclay. It wasn't mentionecl in the Plan-oi-the-Day, there was no large celebration, no 21-gun Salute, hut on that clay the BREMERTON was ten years olcl. There are really three clates that coulcl he consicierecl as the uBig Bnnna hirthciay clate: the laying oi the 1aaa1,ti1ia lannanina, ana the commissioning. But a lzeel isn't a shipg it's just the germ ot one. Whereas a ship which is ailoat is, in every sense of the worcl, a ship, even though it may not yet he commissionecl. Anci so it came to pass on the clay ot our Loral, July 2, nineteen liuncirecia anal iorty tour, that Miss Elizaheth McGowan irom the Puget Souncl Navy Yarcl, Bremerton, Washington, smashecl a hottle ot champagne against the stem ancl sent, the BREMERTQN into the sea for the iirst time. Since leaving Cammien, New Iersey, where she was lrmuilt, the B has covereci a lot oi water, enterecl many ports, iireci untolfi amounts oi ammo in comhat ancl peaceful training, anal carrieci quite a few flags. She has trainecl at Guantanamo Bay, celehrateci the lieth in Rio cle Janeiro, lolaloecl many shells across the Korean laomhline, welcomecl Mary Sods siciecleaners at Hong Kong, ancl listenecl many times to the iamiliar call, mfhere will he a hoat leaving for Pico Street Landing in tive minutes. I Throughout. her career she has won the constant respect oi the ileet anal the commenciation oi many aclmirals, asi well as, the pricie oi the oiiicers anmi men who have huilt her reputation. Although her lairthciay was not celeloratecl louclly, it was another milestone in a great career. We lznow she will have many more.
