LEAVINC- PIER 7 Getting underway for distant duty is an exciting if not a momentous occasion for any ship. With her on her journey ride the hopes for a happy and successful cruise, with her go the love and blessings of hundreds of sweethearts, wives, and families. So it was for the CORAL SEA. As the ship slipped her lines and backed down smoothly into Hampton Roads, there wasn't a man on board ship that didn't experience some sort of emotion at leaving. For some of us looking ahead, there were thoughts of long days at sea, of liberty in France, of Flight Quarters from dawn to dusk, and of tours in Switzerland and Northern Italy. For others, off to sea for the first time, there was much to wonder about, much to get used to - the thrill of crossing the Atlantic the first time, endless hours of replenishing and rearming, visiting places that up 'til now were merely names in a book, and doing your share of the work. For all of us, it was the chance finally to put all that training to, work, the opportunity to see if we could measure up to our individual jobs, and the occasion to match our ship against the rigours of Task Force requirements. l0 ff ' Y '5f '-'MQ A 7- 13'F595?'f 7 'fB 54 -'24 '-A A- :-1-- 'f-- -vi-A:---is-liar.:-s11Es:fss'1'.rsees: f-A -.

was Tugs On The Starboard Bow, Full Speed Ahead! Standing there at Quarters receiving the salutes of other ships as the band played, perhaps a few of us were reminded of why we were leaving at all and why we were going overseas for six months - to bolster the confidence of our allies in Europe, to be ready to defend against any aggression, and to display our strength along with our basic dislike for war.
