ACTIVITIES A ship's primary task is always to accomplish it's mission through people. Many times the task to be performed is long and arduous with little time for rest and relaxation. The brief periods of leisure are usually filled with those events that best develop a 'spirit of unity and cooper- ation among the crew. The Cimarron has always endeavored to supply it's men with a wide range of activities during the idle hours. Sporting events such as softball, bowling, golf, swimming, and skeet shooting abound. There is a keen rivalry between depart- ments and divisions, and a challenge is never left unanswered. Of course, movie call is always popular and there is an ., L. ..,.

Activities also includes such events as inspections and advancement in rate. We must also by necessity include the miscellaneous category-the time spent with a good book, writing letters to loved ones, shooting the bull, and general loafing. Everyone needs a certain amount of leisure activity, a brief period away f1nOIf1 the worry and tension of his job. The Cimarron sailor tries to use this time to best advantage so that he might capably perform his demanding tasks in the com- pletion of the vital mission of our modern Navy.

Fishermen stand atop their capsized boat. Towing the boat. Captain! Captain to the bridge! Away the rescue and assistance detail. A junk is overturned, the men are in the water. And so began the drama on a warm August afternoon while the Cimarron was attempting to gingerly pick her way through a maze of Vietnamese fishing boats. Unable to manouver clear, the boat narrowly missed the stem of the ship and was swamped by the bow wave. The Cim' immediately swung about and put its whale boat in the water to render assistance. Fortu- nately no one was injured and there was only minor damage to the junk. The overturned hull was towed back to the ship where it was righted and bailed out. A gift of rice, fruit, fresh water, and manila line, sent the fishermen on their way under the watchful eye of a swift boat. Righted once more, the bailing begins. Coming alongside. Swift boat stops to offer assistance.
