'JI The ship entered the shipyard looking every bit as old as her 21 years. She left the shipyard with an external appear- ance that was the envy of many of the younger ladies of the fleet.', Hard work, long hours, and concentrated effort readied the huge floating airfield for her fourth journey to the waters of the Tonkin Gulf. Internally and externally, the ship was ready. Her decks had been paintedg broken and worn items had been repaired or replaced and the living spaces of the crew had been rehabilitated to make the crew as comfortable as pos- sible in their seven month stay in the waters of the Great Pacific Ocean.
