Page 9 text:

Ensign Greg Cagle was a journalism major at the University of North Carolina, and, since joining CARPENTER in August, he has assumed duties as ASW Officer and Public Affairs Offi- cer. He is also editor of this cruise book, which explains why this sketch is so long. En- sign Cagle, another amateur novelist, is also an avid fan of jazz and motor racing. Ensign Jack Vellis, a Honolulu resident, is a 1968 graduate of the Naval Academy and serves as Assistant Electronics Material Officer. A football fan, Ensign Vellis also enjoys body surfing in Hawaiig he is shown here on the quarterdeck in Hong Kong. New Yorker Steve Banks, an Ensign who switch- ed over in mid-cruise from the mothball-bound Sproston, knew all along that the Jets would win the Super Bowl. He currently serves as Electrical Officer and Legal Officer. He grad- uated from Miami of Ohio. Ensign Larry Linville arrived aboard late in the cruise to take over from Supply Officer Dave Jamison, with four months of OCS and six months of Supply Corps school behind him. Ensign Linville is a fan of classical music.

Ensign Jack Micham, a graduate of Bowling Green University, is the Ship's Secretary and handles administrative affairs for the XO. A psychology major, he, too, came to the Navy via OCS. Ensign Gail Conley, a 1968 grad from Oregon State, handles the ship's ASROC weapons sys- tem. With a zany sense of humor, he Iivened wardroom conversation considerably, here, in a serious moment, he scans a radar scope in Ensign Jim Arack spent a stretch as First Division Officer, but now spends his time buri- ed in the snowballing paperwork of the weapons department as Weapons Administrative Officer. Ensign Steve Curelop graduated from Yale University with a major in English, then came to CARPENTER in July and assumed duty as Communications Officer, Which seems logical. ln his off duty time, Ensign Curelop is a flying enthusiast and amateur novelist.
