Burton Island (AGB 1) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 57 text:

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 ?
