j p Ma a TIGER CRUISE 21 October DAVID R. RAY departed Hawaii, on the final leg of Westpac 90 . The crew had grown with the addition of D. R. Ray TIGERS . Several relatives and friends of crew members were asked to join the RAY on its 6 day journey back to Long Beach. Guests were able to see and explore the RAY in its working environment. They observed special evolutions such as 5 inch gun EX, CIWS and ships maneuvering demonstrations. They also had the opportunity to qualify in TSWS (tiger surface warfare specialist) as well as getting their DAVID R. RAY Drivers license. The tigers were also treated to a DAVID R. RAY steel beach picnic and pizza night with a special showing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! By the time we arrived in Long Beach, the ti- gers had a working knowledge of the shipboard environment and an appreciation for the work done by the crew. A good time was had by all and the Tiger Cruise was a great success. Tiger Cruise T - shirt sold in ships store Tigers gather on mess deck for introduction briefing with the Commanding Officer
