COMING OF AGE FROM PASCAGOULA TO THE MED A PICTORIAL HISTORY The pace was set right from the time we first assembled upon our newly commissioned ship. The days were to be long, hectic and eventful. Our challenge was to bring a ship to life. We first arrived in our homeport of Norfolk, Virginia on August 11th 1978, where we had a happy reunion with our families and proudly showed our ship off.

Our stay in Norfolk was all too short, for the Navy wastes very little time with its ships. We left home on 3 October 1978 bound for the Caribbean Sea for our shakedown cruise. We visited various ports including Port Everglades, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for refresher training, and Roosev ' elt Roads PR for a gun shoot. All our weapons and shipboard systems were extensively tested and all proved to be in excellent working order. Following our Caribbean cruise we went back to Pascagoula for an availability from early January 79 to 17 February. Finally, on 21 February 1979, we arrived in Norfolk again for a 5 ' j month yard period. Between all the activities and traveling the men of the COUNT still found time to relax together.
