n ( %ccui To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying, The wind is blowing. And the white foam is flying. West, west away. The round sun is falling. Grey ship, grey ship. Do you hear them calling, The voices of my people That have gone before me? I will leave, I will leave The woods that bore me... --J. R. R. Tolkien What makes a good sailor? Ideally: common sense and courage, self- discipline and a sense of humor, promptness and perserverance. But Navy men are only human beings and. ..admittedly, imperfect. A good sailor MUST have one essential virtue, however — that intangible call to the sea. It is a source of the Navy man ' s professional pride and the reservoir of a crew ' s morale. And very often, it even inspires men to be better sailors than anyone ever expected. CHEMUNG ' S effectiveness in her mission with the United States Pacific Fleet has been achieved by the efforts of many good sailors. Men of various backgrounds, each brought his special quality to her crew. But each also brought his love for the sea and sail- ing. This created and sustained the spirit that longs to return to sea during each prolonged in-port period, that is eager to exercise the ship to the limit of her capacities, and that has the strength to see a task through despite fatigue and setbacks. Without this spirit, CHEMUNG could not have accomplished her mission, and this book would have no object.

ecA ept. CHEMUNG presents one endless task to the deck sailor. Chip! Red lead! Paint! Chip again! Splice! Serve! Rig! Unrig! Wash down! TURN TO, SAILOR! The job of keeping a fleet oiler ' s deck gear in order goes on forever. And so, defying the limits of human en- durance, does the deck force. If they ' re ex- pert skylarkers, they CAN turn to with a vengeance when the chips are down. Who ' s better, First or Second Division? Each one is confident that they work harder and that they have the meanest and laziest boa tswain ' s mates. The boatswain ' s just smile. It always rains after a fresh-water washdown Half the division ' s asleep in there.
