Now some say that men make a ship and her-fame V As she goes onher way down the sea, , That the crew which first man her will give her a name- Good, bad, or whatever maybe. The recruits coming after them soon fall in line y And carry tradition along- V If the spirit was good, it will always be fine- If bad, it will always be wrong. The soul of a ship is a marvelous thing, A Not made of its wood or its steel, But fashioned of mem'ries and songs that men sing, And fed by the passions men feel. THE SOUL OF A SHIP It's built of ambition, of jealousy, strife, Of friendships, of love, and Offearg It includes almost all of the makings of Life, It's nurtured on grumble-and, cheer. The soul of a ship is a molder of men- Her spirit lives on through the years. As she started ,her life, so she is to the end, She shares each recruit's hopes and fears. So he takes to himself the old sea as his wife, As he stands up and takes heart again- So he takes to himself the old sea as his life, And the shipis made a man among men! -Cdr. Arthur A. Ageton, U.S.N w HISTORY AND CHARACTERISTICS The USS BURTON ISLAND QACB 11 is one of the eight icebreakers operated by our government, three by the Coast Guard and five by the Navy. She was built by the Western Pipe and Steel Co., San Pedro, Californ.ia. The BURTON ISLAND and the STATEN ISLAND operate on the west coast, along with the Coast Guard breaker, NORTHWIND. Named after a small island off the Atlantic Coast of Dela- ware, the BURTON ISLAND was commissioned in December, 1946. Since her commissioning she has participated in two Antarctic expeditions with Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Each year she makes two trips to the Arctic. In 1954 the BURTON ISLAND made history in the Beaufort Sea Expedition, when with the Canadian breaker, LABRADOR, she reached the famed Northwest Passage. She has the honor of being the first ship ever to reach Pt. Barrow in May, an accomplishment of the 1954 Bering Sea Expedition. An icebreaker like the BURTON ISLAND can operate in waters restricted to other ships. She- is well-built and well- manned. She displaces over 6000 tons even though she is but 268 feet in length and 63 feet wide. She is built to take a 72 degree roll and still right herself, and very often rolls 45 de- grees in open sea. It is when she rolls heavily, as only an ice- breaker can, that the crew looks forward to the ice, or in most 'til' ' ' il ' cases her home port. There is a saying on the BURTON ISLAND that she runs faster and smoother when headed south toward Long Beach. Seriously, however, the BURTON ISLAND is a warm, comfortable ship, and in her natural habi- tat-ice-she is very stable. Duty aboard the BURTON ,ISLAND is like serving on every type of ship at once. She does the work of the Service Force vessel, which she is. She has the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, the draft and armor of the battleship, the handlmg characteristics of a motor launch, the power of a sea-going tug: and the roll of a destroyer. Her two helicopters make ice recon- naissance flights to determine leads in the ice, in addition to carrying mail and providing occasional taxi servicef' HCT divers are always ready to go under to make hull and pr0- peller inspections and, when needed, to make minor repairs. In water temperatures which reach 28 degrees the divers are not at all envied by their shipmates. The icebreaker, called by Admiral Byrd the utOl1gl1f35t Ship CVCI' bulltfi is considered one of the safest ships afloat 1n eveTY respect. For this reason her crew is comfortable in both b0dY and mind, and those who have served aboard her deem it the best sea-duty in the Navy. sxscurlve OFFICERS O , Coming aboard the BURTON ISLAND in June of 1954, just in time to- make the now famous summer' cruise into the Beaufort Sea, CDR. R. W. Dale, Ir., has served as the ship's executive ofh- cer. His expert ship handling and his knowledge of the sea has been borne out during the course of his service on this ship. - Joining the Navy in 1927, just out of high school, the EXEC tried to make the Naval Academy but, as he said, I bilged out. e He later was' commissioned a reserve oiiicer after much experience as a seaman, fireman, mate and engi- neer. He has his Chief Engineer's and Master's Licenses. The Merchant Marine, Coast and Geo- detic Survey, Army Engineers, and Fisheries Re- search and Patrol. During World War II he served as Command- ing Oflicer on LST's in the European Theater of Operations, and since that time, prior to being assigned to the BURTON ISLAND, he has served as' assistant to the Director of Training in the 12th Naval District. The Commander has many yarns to spin and tells many .interestin stories of his civilian and military wartime ex eriences, proving that oining the Navy, one can truly see the world. COMMANDING OFFICER CDR. E. A. TRICKEY, USN After two years at Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington, E. A. Trickey was admitted to the United States Naval Academy, from which he was graduated in 1938. Being commissioned Ensign upon graduation, CDR. Trickey, recently selected for the rank of Captain, began a career which has enabled him to see naval action in both the Atlantic and the Pacific Theaters of I Opera- tion during World War II. In the Korean Cam- paign he saw service in both the destroyer and cruiser forces. The Cruisers ASTORIA and TO- LEDO were included in his recent tours of duty, prior to serving in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington 25, D. C. V Upon his detachment fromthe BURTON ISLAND, on which he has served since November, 1953, CDR. Trickey was ordered to duty in the Otlice of the Chief of Naval Operations, as he says, to pilot a desk. To the departing skipper and his family who have called Pendleton, Oregon, their home, we extend our bestwishes as they leave for our nation's capital city. NEW CGMMANDING OFFICER CDR. JOSEPH E. REEDY On 16 September, at Pt. Barrow, Alaska, the new commanding officer came aboard the BURTON ISLAND, arriving from thg States after completing the Arctic Geography Course of McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. On 28 September he as. sumed command of the ship in an impressive ceremony at sea, Captain Reedy was born in Texas, attended elementary and high school in Colton, California. After one and onqlhalf years as a white-hat he entered the Naval Academy in 1937, successfully passing a competitive examin-ation in the entire fleet. He was commissioned Ensign upon his graduation in 1941. Our new skipper has served on the Carriers LANGLEY and LEXINGTON, the Cruiser SAN DIEGO, and the Destroycrs HAILEY and TAUSSIG. He has served in the Operations oflice of the Port Director, Pearl Harbor, and as the head of the Surface Tactical Unit in the Ollice of the Chief of Naval Operations. Being a destroyer man, as the saying goes, Captain Reedy will not have to get used to the heavy roll of the BURTON ISLAND, nor tothe rigorous duty which -she requires in her ice operations. To the new commanding officer, his wife, and his two children we of the BURTON ISLAND extend our most sincere welcome as they become a part of the tradition of our great ship. Anaheim, California, will be their new home in California. BERING SEA EXPEDITION On Tuesday 5 April at 1812 hours the BURTON ISLAND em barked from the North Island Naval Arr Statlon fuel pier ln San Dleoo The annual sprin cruise was now under way The purpose of the expedltlon this year was to cgnduct an oceanographic survey 1n the Bering Sea durlng the spring break up of the ICB to study the 106 coverage from which future predlc tions on ICC and weather could be made and to test the various pieces of equipment under cllmatlc conditions found during th1s period On 19 April the BURTON ISLAND steamed through Unimak Pass into the Bering Sea after having relieved the Coast Guard icebreaker NORTHWIND at Dutch Harbor 1n the Aleu trans On 27 May after spend1n the major portion of our sprlng operation in the Berlng Sea we again sailed through Un1mak Pass en route home to Long Beach our home port While operatmg north of the Aleutians the BURTON ISLAND proceeded under lnstructions from the U S Hydrographic Office Under these orders the ship salled west to the International Date Line east to the Yukon Delta 'area and up to w1th1n 20 mlles of King Island on the north Ice cond1t1ons prevented any further northerly progress The 1ce was heavier covered more water surface and had more snow on It than the year previous when the BURTON ISLAND reached Pt Barrow ln May Snow on the 106 reduced the lmpact of the shlp on the 1ce and with a broken propeller resultmg from trying to back out of the 1ce when beset the shlp just could not reach King Island With one engine out of commission completely and another not operatmg properly the BURTON ISLAND then headed south toward Un1mak and home where she would be made ready for the big summer operatlon to the Beaufort Sea It was a happy occaslon whenf on Monday morning 6 June at 0711 the BURTON ISLAND t1ed up at the pler ln San Diego, greeted by the wives and sweethearts who drove down early from Long Beach What are our memories? There are many to relate, all of which will afford topics for conversatlon whenever sea stories are told There will be the story of the race with the polar bear, a race which the bear won hands down. There are the parties on the ice off Nome, where we were beset for a few days in very heavy ice, and where we had to replace a helicopteris engine before it could be returned to the ship. But to all of us, especially those of us who were making the trip for the first time, the greatest memories will be those of the vast sea of ice, white and brilliant, and from 6-8 feet thick, of the rolling seas that made many of us weary, and the beautiful Easter morning in the inland passage. It was there that we found ourselves in the arms of nature, so happy to be alive. i f I rf k WHICH WAY IS THE N BERING SEA CLUB? T x wwf UAS. BURTON ISLAND -:1:,,E.,. L4 E 1 , H-, .. -M- ,, ,,....

HOME AWAY FROM HOME IINCOMING MAILI MAIL CALL Nothing seemed to raise the morale of the BURTON ISLANDERS like MAIL CALL. So when mail was missent to a forward area, to which the BURTON ISLAND was not scheduled to reach, the men felt mighty low to say the least. For about six weeks we seemed shut offn from the world outside, and when mail finally began to reach us we eagerly anticipated its arrival. On the spring cruise mail was deliveredfrom Kodiak and dropped by parachute on the ice. It was brought aboard by helicopter or human-dog teams. On the spring cruise we had the thrill of seeing a plane pick up two bags of mail from the ice by means of a special rigging. On the summer expe- dition mail was taken off at Barterlsland or, at Pt. Bar- row, and mail was brought on board at the same sites by helicopter and by boat. Those were joyous occasions, and even though some mail arrived ahead of that sent days earli- er, it made for good reading and gave us more food for thought. 4 wks A ' ' .. - MAIL DROP RETRIEVING MAIL BY FOOT! RETRIEVING MAIL BY HELICOPTER ARTIC WILDLIFE - . , -,, One of the most interesting parts of our trip to the north is the seeing of Arctic wild-life. POLAR BEAR .OFF THE STARBOARD BEAM brings every available sailor to the rails. . The polar bear, having selected for his home the Arctic ice-pack, has been comparatively unmolested by man. He is seldom hunted except by the Eskimos, who enjoy the flavor of meat which is too strong for the average white man's palate. Fur traders find little demand for the coarsely furred pelt which is usually used as a rug or as a trophy. During the past 20 years only 1500'pelts have been reported shipped down from the Arctic. Alaskan game laws consider the polar bear a fur bearer and allow three per license per year. For the interested, a license can be purchased for 850. It has been estimated that approximately 3000 inhabit the northern part of Alaska. This monarch of the ice is one of the largest of the sur- viving members of the bear family, with big males often weighing 1500 to 1600 pounds, and females from 850 to 900 pounds. They measure up to 12 feet in length. Largely car- nivorous, his favorite food is the seal, but he will turn to fish, porpoise, a stranded whale, roots, seaweed and grass when no other food is available. They are powerful swim- mers and are occasionally seen many miles from any ice flow. Like other members of the bear family, his vision is not good and his hearing poor. His acute sense of smell. however, more than atones for the other sensory defects. He is able to smell bacon rind, which is placed on the stack of the ship, from great distances. - It is possible to look over the plains and see great herds of caribou. The various species of caribou have long been important to the natives. of the Arctic, as the buffalo was to the American Indian. The Eskimos utilize the entire caribou -the meat for food, the hide for clothing, bedding, etc., and the bones and antlers for tools. The smaller domesticated a V . is .. - . gl 4, rfb' .Q 9' if ' n f f - ' A . ,W ,X fy if were my S s Q X si Sf reindeer, a cousin from Asia and Europe, were Alaska at thebeginning of this century, but with poor re- sults. Efforts to introduce reindeer meat on the American market have been unsuccessful because of. the great trans- portation cost. Caribou and .reindeer are the only members of the deer family in which both the males and females are antlered. Even the young, one month old fawn bears a spike. The antlers are flattened much look moose antlers and have distinctive shovels projecting down over the face. Caribou have extremely large hooves which enable them to traverse boggy grounds and soft snow. Males average about 7 feet in length and weigh from 200 to 300, pounds. He is herd-bound, depending on safety in numbers. He wanders great distances in search of his native ffood, which consists of lichens, sedges and grasses. He is also an excellent swimmers and his the hollow hairs of his pelt make him very buoyant as well as insulated. His hide is consideredthe best material for Arc- tic clothing -because it is so warm and durable for its weight. No article on Arctic wild-life would be complete yvliill- out some mention of the herds of walrus that sit on their ice floes, eyeing the BURTON ISLAND as she goes -by. Al- though the flesh is used for food and the hide for covering of boats, the greatest economic value of the Walrus is its ivory.- The total retail value of carved ivory sold annually BP' preaches the S200,0000 figure. It is believed that the ma- Jority winter on the Siberian side of the Bering Sea. In the summer they move up into the Bering Straits and the Chilk- chr Sea area. The females bear their young in the spring of the Year, and are most ade-pt at placing them between their tusks and necks to carry them out of the paths of dan: 8913 Manyha picture has been taken by the shutter bug When We passed a herd numbering thousands, -taking life eaSY 011 the 106- n It 1S a very amusing thing to watch them 1'31Se UD' Off the lCe,'bark'and take tothe water, afterwe passed them, and when we could have done them harm had we S9 desired.

We give them credit for being, however, and that-is to their credit. ' LET'S TURN OCEANOGRAPH IC! The U. S. Hydrographic Ofiice, under whose orders the BURTON ISLAND operates on many of its cruises, is concerned with the physical properties and characteristics of all the seas. Through observation of the te-mperature, salinity, and the bottom content, and the .seasonal changes, valuablevinformation useful in times of peace and war is obtained. . The torpedo-shaped instrument used to meas- ure water temperature down to depths of 900 feet is called a BATHYTHERMOGBAPH or, as it is known aboard ship, a B.T. Within the B.T. is a copper tube filled with Xylene, which upon contact with the water expands or contracts ac- cording to the temperature of the water. This expansion or contraction causes a stylusto make a trace on a smoked glass slide. Each B.T.shas a slide graph with temperature versus depth, over which can be viewed the smoke slide and the tem- perature read directly in degrees Fahrenheit at any depth withinwitsf-range. as A - The NANSEN BOTTLES are yellow cylinders which are lowered at stations chosen by the Hydrographic Oiiice. These stations are merely areas that would provide information desired by that ofiice, from samples of water and mud taken from the iioor of the sea or ocean. E Attached to the NANSEN BOTTLES are two reversing thermometers, which are calibrated to trap the measured amount of mercury for the temperature at which they reverse. Unprotected thermometers fones encased so that the read- ings are the result of pressures and tempera- turesj are paired with the protected thermome- ters lwhich are not affected by the pressurej at random below 100 meters depth in order to de- termine the depth a-t which they reversed. With these readings a curve is drawn, taking into con- sideration the angle of the wire with the vertical. The temperature of the water is measured from surface to bottom. The weights which are at- tached, called MESSENGERS, are designed to slide freely down the wire. They are attached to the bottles and trip and reverse the bottles ahead of -it. Upon being reversed, both ends of the bottle close, entrapping a sample of water. A After the bottle is closed, a bottom sampler is lowered from the end of the line, which comes in contact with the bottom, tripping a lever. This shuts the jaws and collects a sample of the bot- tom which, with the water taken in the NANSEN BOTTLES, is used for analysis and study. With more and more attention being diverted toward the Arctic area the information obtained will prove invaluable in the future, 4' i rf 'r ff' 'lf ' A . N ' 1 ' . 'v Q.

First, the taking of surface weather observations. Second, making periodic soundings of the upper air. Third, the assimilation of weather re- ports from other stations into a usable weather map for local forecasting purposes. - l Surface weather observations are taken once every hour-or more .often if conditions warrant. Such ele- ments as wind direction and velocity, weather f rain, snow, fog, etc.l, visibility, atmospheric pressure, and cloud conditions are observed and recorded'on a daily weather observational log. Every three hours these weather re- ports are transmitted by radio to a Weather Central for rebroadcast to weather stations all over the world. Twice daily, radiosonde transmitters' are sent aloft on helium-filled balloons. Signals from these instruments are picked up by a radiosonde receiver on the ship and enable us to obtain the temperature, pressure, and rela- tive humidity of the air through which the balloon is passing. Balloons from the BURTON ISLAND has gone as high as 76,000 feet. 'However, it is not uncommon for balloons of this type to reach altitudes of over 100,000 feet. Like the hourly surface observations, these reports are also transmitted to the nearest Weatrher Central. Each day synoptic weather reports are received by radio-teletype from reporting weather stations in Alaska, Canada, Russia, the United States, Japan, and from many military and merchant-ships at sea. These-reports are plotted on a weather map and, when properly analyzed, present an accurate picture of the weather over a large area of the globe. By watching the development and movement of various air masses and pressure systems from one map time to the next, and by observing t current weather in our own area, comparatively accurat forecasts of local conditions can be made. Every month the surface weather observational logs and the results of our upper air soundings are sent to the National Weather Records Center in Asheville, North Caroline. There they are compiled with similar reports from hundreds of other weather stations and are used in climatological research. Because of the lack of reporting weather stations in the isolated operating areas of the BURTON ISLAND, weather reports from this ship are exceptionally valuable. -D. R. LAMB, AG1, USN. 1 1 P R O J E C T 5 7 2 On 8 July at approximately 1600 it was f'ANcHoRs AWE1cH', for tha BURTON ISLAND fTh 1' ' f h' h . e summer cruise, or W IC the sbipaand the men who would man her, were hurriedly prepared during theshort four weeks in port following the Bering SCH Expedition in the spring, was now beginning. Before it would be over long hours of vigilant watching, skillful towing and maneu- vering through heavy and treacherous ice would prove the durability of the ship and the capabilities of its crew. - After two beautiful days at Seattle, and three days at Kodiak, Alaska, en route 'to the Arctic region where the summer ex- pedition was to center, the BURTON ISLAND never again was rmitted t t k ,pe o a e a breather from her appointed task, that Of escorting ships through ice and water that presented a never-ending source of danger to men and ships. It was approximately 1000 hours on 29 September, that the men of the BURTON ISLAND, those fortunate to 'be in the liberty sections, could g0 ashore for a needed rest from their labors. The 1955 BEAUFORT SEA EXPEDITION given the name PROJECT 572 Q , was to be a newadventure for the intrepid Sl11P and her company of men. It would be a part of a vast operation that would include 117 ships of various sizes and descriptions:- This operation would have as its objective the transportation of over 500,000 tones of vital cargo which would be used ill the construction of the DEW LINE, a series of radar stations- that would stretch from the west coast of Alaska to to the Eastern Coast of Northern Canada. This DEW LINE would provide' a distant early warning in event of attack from that portion of the world by ang enegncy fof the, UNITED STATES or Canada. The above map illustrates the area where this radar '6fence would be H ron 1er o e ense. The DEW LINE, costing billions of dollars, was actuall b g ' ' 1954 h h ' ' ' l S, but, the bulk of the cargo had to come by ships. Like the Silvllzillulh h W en t e AH Force began flying m great Supp le 1 a Cy ad to get through. The portion of the operation that centered in the BEAUFORT SEA area was known as the MONA LISA OPERATION. The Military Sea Transportation Service was in charge of the operation involving Naval vessels and it was Ot until the BURTON ISLAND was released on 18 September at Pt.

No,APA1NT CMT! 1 ARCTIC SU PERSALESMAN DIVINE SERVICES I While not calling for a chaplain in her table of organization, the BURTON ISLAND always carries a chaplain on her annual spring and summer cruises. Many of the ship's personnel attended Sunday Di- Ving Services, the Sunday and Wednesday evening Bible Study Classes, and EVENING VE-SPERS, an informal period of evening devotions following the evening meal. On one occasion the. chaplain went aboard another ship to conduct services for the members, of its crew who had not had the privilege of worshiping together. Out. of the bountiful supply of the BURTON ISLAND Bibles, Testaments, Pray- er Books, Rosaries, and religious literature were distributed among ships .without-.a 'chaplain or a Supply of religious materials. Christian Fellowship, Religious Instruction and Spiritual Development Wepe provided and, as duty permitted, many an- swered the call to CHURCH in the Crew's Mess Hall or in the Crew's Library, thankful that they could worship their God even at sea. CATHOLIC LAY SERVICES In the absence of a Catholic chaplain a dedicated Catholic Chief Petty Officer, J. L. Dunkel, very faith-- fully led Catholic men in Sunday Rosary Services. When in an area where a Catholic Priest or chaplain was available, MASS was said by the available clergyman, who very graciously gave of his time to lead the men of his faith in worship. The men of the BURTON ISLAND were most appreciative, for their desire to serve God and Country was satisfied.

' The Supply Department, more commonly known as the S Division, by its foresight and efficiency, maintains the BURTON ' ' ' ' ' ' ISLAND and its crew by providing the necessary -supplies and services which enable both to fulfill their mis- sion. The slogan of the supply corps, READY FOR SEA, aptly fits this important division. A quick glance into the inner workings of the Supply Department indicates that most of the morale functions and problems ,of the ship are handled by it. In addition to- its primary function of supplying- the heads-of other depart-A ments of the ship with equipment and parts for repair, plus consumable items, the Supply Department provides excel- lent food, well prepared and served, handles the pay accounts, provides for all laundry and tailoring services, operates the ship's store and barber shop, provides steward service and last, but not least, provides all hands with the very neces- sary winter clothing ffoul weather gearl to protect them against th l ' ' ' H e e ements of wind, water and freezing cold. The BURTON ISLAND can well be roud of its ' ' ' p operations in regions above the Arctic Circle, ,as well as in the f0l1I weather of the Bering Sea. And the Supply Department can be d f ' ' . prou o its role in the carrying out of the important mission of this ship. I 9 1 A if F aa 2 T 5 2 3: www: T BLOCK AND TACKLE!

Vigilant are the eyes of the radarmen, quartermasters,- and aerogra- phers as they 'scan the surface of the sea and gaze into the air for contacts, or as they send and receive messages by Hag or by light, or as they predict weather by means of observations made hourly. Along with these experts are others, the yeomen and the electronic technicians, who maintain the records and the equipment necessary to the efficient operation A ' d lm ' tures all the im or- of the ship. Then there are the photographers who are always johnny on the spot to recor y pic , , p f but to rovide material for public information services on the ,tant incidentsathatehappen, notl only .for futures' re erence, p life aboard the ship. To this capable crew belongs the credit for all pictures taken for this cruise book. ' l.n addition to these routine ship functions there are the Oceanographic and Hydrographic tasks that must be per- formed in order to gain more knowledge of the uncharted waters of the Bering Sea and the Arctic Circle. Sounding lines are run and charted, oceanographic stations are- made, and bathythermograph readings. are taken.. These. scientific ex- periments provide invaluable information necessary to the safety of navigation and ultimate security of our country. iz! E DIVISION v Row 1.

THE ENGINEERING DIVISION f The Engineering Division is the largest division on the ship. While not the cleanest, it is certainly the happiest. K They win most of the prize money in the ship's hobby contests.l These lads' are the ones who, if humanly possible,,keep the screws a-turning. The E Division is composed of four gangs: main propulsion, electricians, damage control, and auxiliary. Each of these groups hasa definite job to perform and, with each man on the ball, a smoothly function- ing division is formed. . ' , - A , Main propulsion is perhaps the most vital of the gangs, and when listening to the throb of the main engines it is comforting to know thene is a good group of men down below o t h d h ' ' , ' n wa c an on t elr toes. We had fine luck with the mains until the start of the return trip, when trouble began to rear its ugly head in the form of cracked liners burned pis- tons, etc. Since then the engine room boys have been working night and day to get those engines back on the line. lThey succeeded, because they got us home ahead of our scheduled .time of arrival.l A . ' ' Next come the electricians Without these intre id s arkt ' ' th - . p p r1c1ans e ship would be in la sad state of affairs in- d d. Th h h ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ee ey ave c arge of all motors, mam drive and electrical circuits, and various other machinery. They proceeded to care for them and make repairs with all the affection of a dotingimother. I ' . The DC gang 'fdamage controll is well schooled-in controlling the after-effects of a collision, flooding, or any other damage that might be sustained during operations. These boys had their shareiof work on the summer cruise, due to the fact that certain other ships discovered that the BURTON ISLAND made a very good ramming target. Other than repairing the damage, the DC boys also run the machine shop and perform other-jobssuch as welding and cutting, etc-, throughout the ship. - , I .

FERRIS, JR., ADC .... . . .Batavia, New York E HOMEWARD BOUND On 18 September, after all other ships were safely out of the ice, PROJECT 572 completed, the BURTON ISLAND began her homeward voyage. For eleven days her crew would relax a bit after a hard cruise. Now they could taker time to really think of home -and plan for that needed liberty. , . The emotions of all of us would be mixed, as expected. Some of us were just tired from working hard to do a necessary job. We missed our wives, sweet hearts, and children. Some of us will see our new offspring for the first time. Some of us are making our last cruise on the BURTON ISLAND. Some will go to new ships, others will go to shore stations. Many will enjoy the lush sea duty ustatesidei' in Long Beach, while others will return to civilian life, to continue wherethey left OH four years ago. Some will start life over, so to speak, having come in the Navy as boys and 'going out as men, with men's responsibilities. But of one thing we are all certain, duty aboard the BURTON ISLAND will never be forgotten. For the BURTON ISLAND, too, was once our HOME And who can ever forget HOME ?
