orfolk, Virginia, home of Task Group ALF A. Prepareto assame ready duty ASW Prepare for .sea At sea within the ocean lies the job of Task Group ALFA. The ocean is a strong hostg the ships must be prepared to meet its demands. Paint is replacedg lines are extendedg supplies are laid in to nourish and equip the men and their machines. Ammunition is brought aboard. HReady ASW Duty means exactly that. The men spend their last hours on the beach saying goodbye to their families, to their friends. They anticipate two Weeks at sea knowing that this at-sea period will be a combina- tion of boredom and romance, of tedium and adventure. They perform the tasks assigned... they look to improving their skills, their tools. The Task Group is ready to leave port . . . supplies aboard, the last goodbyes spoken. Lines are cast off, tugs appear . . .

Nanci the Task Group is underway. Rendezvous, look at the Virginia coast for the last time, steam steadily for a vague point within some ten thousand square miles of ocean. This time it might be Point Pete or HPoint Jackv-perhaps HPoint Franf' We arrive . . . the exercises begin. Tactical sit-ups and push-ups, designed to have us lose Weight, to regain the sharp coordination and skill with which We ended the previous at-sea period. A steady No-cal operational diet, until we are performing to the limits of our abilities. All units of Task Group ALFA, reading the operation order, learning new ways to overcome old liabilities, ironed out by endless meetings after the last time at sea. High protein for the aircraft, low fat for the destroyers, calisthenics for the carrier . . . reduction of waste, increase of efficiency. Surveillance, alertness, preparation.
