The hoped for cruise of the Flagship CAN- BERRA to the fascinating ports of the Orient and Austra- lia turned out instead to be a long hard deployment of a warship to the forward area. For many this was the one and only chance for Singapore, Manila, Sasebo and Sydney and it was a keen disappointment to see these visits chopped from the schedule. Hong Kong, Yokosuka and Subic were great but they didn't make up for the ones we missed. So what do we have to show for 6 months-to tell our friends and families about when we turn the pages? H'ere's what you have to tell: Over 40,000 miles steamed with no breakdown we couldn't fix ourselves, Con- dition III and watch-in-watch, 65 days in one stretch at sea, 40 days as early warning and air control site for air operations in the Viet Nam I Corps area, Six months as Flagship and communications center for Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Group SEVENTH Fleet, who operated all the destroyers as well as commanding the formation and buildup of the Coastal Surveillance Force, seven shore bombardment missions with hundreds of rounds on the targets, two months with a communications load surpassed in the whole U.S. by only Commander SEVENTH 'Fleet and Yankee Team Carriers Fleet, over 350 helicopterland- ings and take offs, an efficient and cooperative joint effort between staff and ship in round the clock high pressure operations, 6 months with the missile system up and ready, 1100 officers and men fed, clothed, doctored and supported almost completely by at-sea replenishments, Commendation messages from the Fleet and Flotilla Commander, and finally a willingness day or night to lend a strong helping hand to any ship in need, be it Destroyer, Minesweeper or RVN junk. To me, the true meaning of this voyage was dedicated hard work in spite of darn little play, superb reliable sup- port for our country and its friends whenever and where- ever it was called for. Because of this I know that every- time I break out this book and turn the pages I will say now there was a ship, a crew and a staff I- will be proud of all my life.

The tourist attractions were there: the swaying grass skirts, the pearly white beaches and a startling, sobering reminder of a war fought not so long ago in this same ocean. The battle monument of USS ARIZONA, a victim with her crew of the devastation on that day of Infamy in 1941, drew in poignant relief for all from CANBERRA who saw it the need for our journey, the need to main- tain peace and freedom in the Pacific. Out of Pearl Harbor for the long, long crossing to Japang routine steaming in an ocean named for its calmness, its peacefulness. But, no, the Pacific turned on us and beat us like a schizophrenic friend gone mad. First, white water broke over our bow, and then the green ocean enveloped our fo'c's'le in yawning jaw- like Hows. It went as unnoticed augury of the days to follow when both ship and crew would be worn, not by other mighty waters, but by the demands of the job ahead.

And, what a port: Hong Kong. While Mary Soo cleaned and painted our hull, we painted the town and were cleaned by it too. For most of the crew, Hong Kong, with its sights to see, its excellent restaurants and its bright night- life, was more than welcome relief. Too, for most of us, it was also a financial disaster, world re- nowned as a great shopping center, Hong Kong's bargains broke us as we poured out our pay for suits and shirts, shoes and silks. But, as we came over the brow for the last time, it was with a most happy feeling that we carried along our new tailor-made wardrobes and weighty piles of gifts for folks back home.

Karch, Commander 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade. One of Many Though a small country, Viet Nam has an unusually long, rugged coastline, spotted with numerous coves and inlets which provide havens for an estimated 50,000 junks, These junks, in an endless variety of sizes and shapes, are the home and working place of thousands of Vietnamese fishermen and traders, they also provide an excellent means for the Communists in South Vietnam to clandestinely receive supplies and reinforcements via the sea. To combat this infiltration, the Navy established a junk patrol to stop and inspect suspicious looking ves- sels. CANBERRA played a key role in the patrol, serv- ing as command ship and a coordination center. Berets decorated with a medallion of the junk patrol, the semi- official mark of the operation, became standard head- gear for many members of CANBERRA's crew. Nor, were We engaged in the junk patrol alone. Simultaneous- ly we provided gunfire support for 'units on the beach and rode shotgun on Marine coastal truck convoys Capt.

You talked me into it RETRO PECT The word was passed, Shift Colors, one long blast was sounded on the Santa Fe, and the COMCRUDESPAC Band scored the musical triumph of the cruise, striking up California Here I Comef' As CANBERRA backed away from the Floating Pier in Yokosuka and turned seaward to begin her long voyage home, we had many memories of the past six months. Brief revisitations to Subic Bay and Yokosuka before the homeward crossing had cured our fatigue and we could look back with proud perspective on the tiring tour we had just completed. Fresh in our minds were mem- ories of major events: our gunfire support missions, our key role in the anti-infiltration patrol, our operations with Yankee Team and our infrequent, but enjoyable, visits to Far Eastern ports. Too, we had recollections of smaller yet still significant events: the use of our special Syncom radar to bounce messages off the communica- tions satellite, the scene on our well-worn helo deck when it served as a stage for the family reunion between two brothers named Smith who had not seen each other in 18 years, and occasions of personal achievement when large numbers of our shipmates studied and worked for advancement in rate and made itg when others took a lengthly list of correspondence and group study courses which helped to improve the whole foundation of their educational back- grounds. Our efforts did not go unnoticed. As we steamed eastward, CANBERRA was specifically cited twice for her outstanding per- formance in the seas off Viet Nam. Vice Admiral Blackburn, Com- mander of the SEVENTH Fleet, and Rear Admiral Miller, whose flag was carried by CANBERRA as he cruised the Far East as Commander, CruiserfDestroyer Group SEVENTH fleet, sent com- mendations, remarking on the CANBERRA men's tireless energy and remarkable professional proficiency. Both mentioned their pride in having CANBERRA under their commands and we had pride too. A pride born of the knowledge of a job well-done.

DIXON UPON COMPLETIGN OE OUR WESTPAC DEPLDYMENT Yallambee Higham Road Upper Hawthorne Melborne 10 July 1965 Dear Captain Woods: . . .I read CANBERRA cable no. 2 to my husband and my elder son. We thought it was a magnificent record for CANBERRA-certainly one of mak- ing Naval history-in her many and varied tasks. And what tremendous tasks they were, and what a great contribution she has made towards ending this horrible war. To be at sea for a ship of her size and complement for 60 days -staggers the imagination and all that lies behind that fact. We thought the armed escort for the 60 truck convoy and its great success was a new saga of the sea and all the co-operation with the air too is amazing. Well done CANBERRA. How well you have earned the Vietnam Expeditionary Medal-each and all of you. Those 60 days with all their work, their constant alertness and at times awful monotony must have been a time of testing indeed. May I add more congratulations on the morale of the ship's company and how much those courses in learning must have helped so very many. . . . For myself, I feel so proud to be your sponsor and you have made me feel within the family of your great ship. Thank you so much. With our heartiest congratulations and our very best wishes for your future. Godls blessings remain with you. Yours very sincerely, Alice C.
