Ocean Venture '81 Looking straight ahead after her sad departure, the officers and crew of COONTZ became a part of the naval exercise, Ocean Venture ' 1981. Working with other U.S. units, a series of drills and exercises began to test and improve the capabilities of the multi- faceted naval ships. ln company with the KALAMAZOQ CONYNCHAM JOHN RODCERS, and several other ships, COONTZ played her part in many various areas, for example: receiving supplies by helicopter, refueling a helicopter from shipboard fuel lines, transferring personnel and equipment to other ships via high line, assisting fire-fighting control from ship to ship, not to mention flag hoisting drills, commun- ications drills and ship manuevers. Not an area or work section of the COONTZ system was missed while participating in the Ocean Venture - 1981. And to put it point blank with out sounding brag' gingly, COONTZ did it all, all of the exercises, drills and manuevers very well, very well indeed. ,aa Q- , '1 3N' MW -r ,Ms 9 ' 5.3 fl elm-'-2Qg,4F if 'N ' M- L' ' 1. .f : .fl ...gh N .,,,,,y -A A W dwg, Y' '- ' ,,-.4useWk'8i.gg..,., .. .

Saying goodbye was a very hard thing to do! Foreign lands, indeed, were in store for the crew. To start things off, COONTZ was underway with her first destination, one of several ports along the coastal areas of West Africa. For the majority of the crew, this was' a first. However, into the Mediterranean was a different story. A good number of COONTZ sailors had travelled into the Med before. So, COONTZ had much in store for her this trip. As intriguing and curious as it seemed, it was still that much harder to say goodbye to those tear-filled faces and waving arms. Six months is a long time, but COONTZ would make the best of them, working hard at her assignments, trying hard not to think of what they were missing at home, but what lay in ahead for them when the good ship CUONTZ returned. Shift Colors! We were at sea! ' t t 'Qf!1iEiEis 1 N

The best thing about the operational readiness of the U.S. Fleet is not the fact that a ship can perform her duties to standards but a combined effort of many ships which can work together for an overall above standard result. 1 tim 3 - 1 1 5 Q 1 ,w . . -4- R1 5' 15 l ', 5 .
