Diphda (AKA 59) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 36 of the 1955 volume:

Her History . . . . The keel ot the DIPHDA was laid on 27 January 1944 in the yar-d ofthe Federal Ship Building and Dry- dock Company at Kearney, N. J. The vessel was launched 11 May 1944 and had her sea trials on 6 July of the same year. She was placed in tull commission on 8 July 1944 at the New York Naval Shipyard, Brooklyn, N. Y. Her service forthe remainder of the war can be noted by some of the campaign bars carried: Ameri- can Theatre, Asiatic-Pacific Theatre, Philippine Liberation and China Service. ln 1946 the DIPHDA was assigned to the task force which tested an atomic bomb at Bikini. By 1949 she had made several runs from the West Coast to the East Coast, via Pearl Harbor and the Panama Canal. May 1950 provided a diFferent itinerary with stops such as Whittier and Kodiak, Alaska. With the Korean War having broken out in the summer of 1950, the ship departed in July of that year for Korea, carrying ammunition. For the next month she operated between Suyong, Korea and Yoko- hama, Japan. Then a return trip to the States was made, for repair work. Again in November 1950 the DlPHDA'engaged in Korean operations, carrying ammunition between lnchon, Wonsan, and Pohang, Korea. Not until October 1951 did she return to the States, and in January 1952 was assigned to Military Sea Transportation Service QMSTS1. This new billet meant many round trips to Pearl Harbor and Japan. 1 By the end of October 1952 the ship was reassigned to Service Force, Pacific, and she began the pipeline runs betwe-en Japan and the States, carrying cargo of all sorts for the U. S. Fleet stationed in the Far East. This continued all through 1953 and in the Spring of 1954 the DIPHDA settled down to a six months' tour as station ship in Sasebo, Japan. Arriving back in the States in November, 1954, the regular pipeline schedule was resumed. The ship has been operating on a time table of roughly two months at sea and one month in port, while on pipeline. From Lett Top: 5. China Service Medal 1. American Campaign Medal 6.

A my 4, X V Y-M Q 5 X1 The DIPHDA has operated for the Commander Service Force, Pacific Fleet, for the past two and a half years. Basically, COMSERVPAC is re- sponsible for the material support of the Fleet. As such, he acts as the principal logistics agent for the Commander in Chief, U. S. Pacific Fleet, and is charged with providing services of all kinds to the Fleet. All of this means the DIPH DA is in the customer service business. Our iob varies somewhat in that at times we act as a pipeline ship, carrying the goods to fleet issueships in the Western Pacific. At other times, we have assumed the role of a fleet issue ship. We have provided both the necessities and luxuries to the forces afloat. As a fleet issue ship our shopping list sported everything from sugar and flour to size l4V2EE shoes and Coca Cola syrup. During the six months of fleet issue opera- tions in 1954 our monthly sales were in excess of S250,000 and our average inventory in excess of i5l,500,000. When operating as a pipeline ship our cargo is not limited to fleet issue material. We deliver automobiles and household effects for mili- tary personnel at both ends of the line. ln addition we carry considerable cargo for the shore activities. Although it may appear that we are a floating general store- and 2:11:55 ,.2.sy:rzasmrmi:55:15:45:.2-:2:1s:r-rm:-,.127 . --f-42. H .- .

Weekly training periods provide the gunnery, damage control and medical drills that are nece-s- sary in performing our basic mission as an assault cargo ship. While our mission may not seem as glamorous as a radar picket de- stroyer or submarine, the- satisfaction we obtain in knowing that we deliver the goods at the right place at the right time, in the right amount more than compensates for the glamor. .:f:..:.::::.:f.:f:::..-:. .1-:gs:lssff+:fi-:-.1:wa:hers:sa:s:n:1:::-:::'f:f.eae:ee:::.:1i:5:1e1:2:r:1:f:wr-2s:::5:af:z1:1:ass.-sa::peas:5.zr::::::s::::wi HerAchievements . . . . ' The tangible- awards that a ship of this type may get are not numerous. However, the DIPHDA has made a name for herself in many fiel-ds of endeavor. In 1954, the ship received the award from her type command, Service Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet, for excellence in Battle Efficiency Competition for fiscal 1954. 'his award, represe-nted by a bronze plaque, signifies a whole year's effort in performing battle effi- ency exercises. Each department on the ship has certain requirements to fullfill over the year's time. e quality of this work is grade-d according to a standard, and the results are compared with those re- nlts of all Navy ships in our class in the Service Force, Pacific Fleet. Turning to sports, the ship fielded a softball team during the 1954 season, which walked away with more honors. Competing among all Navy units in Southern Japan, the DIPHDA Fifty-niners copped the championship of that league, with a record of twe-nty-four wins against six losses. The team then was sent to Yokosuka, Japan, to participate in the Far East Softball Championship. The Fifty-niners were not eliminated until the semi-finals, in an extra inning game. A ln recognition for the fine work performed by the ship, over the six month tour as AKA station-ship in Sasebo, Japan, from May to October 1954, this message was received upon completion of that duty: From: Commander, Service Squadron Three J A To: U. S. S. DIPHDA QAKA 591 You have achieved the outstanding Fleet Issue performance record of a WESTPAC AKA station ship X Smooth sailing X Sayonara X RADM Gano And in addition to all of this, in the words of the Ship's Bos'n, We have the cleanest living compart- ments in the Navy! . J. Battle Efficiency Plaque awarded ' to USS DIPHDA for the fiscal year 1954 by the Commander, Service Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet. Her Crew ---- The Officers and Enlisted Men of the DIPHDA-two hundred diverse- individuals-all work together each in his own position in the team to accomplish the ship's mission. The Team is headed by Cdr. W. M. Kaufman, USN, our Commanding Officer. A T936 graduate of the Naval Academy, Captain Kauf- man has many years of sea duty in destroyers and battleships behind him, and several years of varied staff duty in the United States and overseas. The Executive Officer is Lcdr. C. E. Wood Jr., USN, of the Naval Academy's Class of l942,,who also has had varied duty afloat and ashore. The other officers and men are -divided into four Departments-Deck and Gunnery, Engineering, Oper- ations and Supply. Each department has a particular function within the ship's organization, and each must accomplish its function for the ship to accomplish its mission. Teamwork, too, is necessary between the- Departments, and DlPHDA's people have achieved a high degree of iust that. The Deck and Gunnery Department, with three officers and fifty men assigned, is responsible for the care and operation of the cargo-handling gear, boats, anchor and mooring lines, the cleanliness and painting of our sides and main deck, and the upkeep of our guns and ammunition. Considering the large expanse of open deck and sides, and the amount of cargo-handling gear needed for five hatches, the Deck Department has a very big job in accomplishing its function. The three officers and eighty men of the Engineering Department take care of the ship's machinery and minor repair work. The- latent energy contained in our fuel oil is transformed into working energy in the boilers, and this energy in turn drives our propelling machinery, our auxiliaries, pumps, electrical generators, etc. The repair gang makes repairs to the ship and equipment, cares for our plumbing and ventilation needs, and keeps our damage control equipment in top condition. The Engineers always get us there in one piece. The Operations Department is the eyes and ears of the ship. Here again, three officers direct the work of the twenty-two me-n assigned in collecting information by mail fpost office, and ship's officej, radio, ra- dar and navigation instruments-information that tells us where we are, what we are doing there and where we are going, when. The Ship's Office takes care of all personnel matters and the correspondence involved in operating and administering our ship and crew. The Post Office provides us with complete mail service, including money orders, registry and parcel post. Food? Pay? Supplies? The Supply Department takes care of all that, and more. DIPHDA is one of the best feeding ships in the Fleet due to a happy combination of natural cooks and bakers working under the intereste-d guidance of the Commissary Officer. He also supervises the paperwork involved in transporting cargo. The Paymaster hands out the money at pay-day twice a month, and supervise-s the Ship's Store and the Uniform'Store on board ship. Giving overall guidance to these two officers, the Sup- ply Officer also insures that we have on board the necessary electronic tubes, machinery, spare parts, rags-all the thousands of items that go into keeping the ship ope-rating. How well does he succeed in all these multitudinous duties?-DIPHDA never yet has failed to sail because of lack of supplies! Which Department is most important? Without the Engineers, we certainly couldn't move.

If any one of the four fails, the ship fails. Each Department is as important as the others in accomplishing its own particular function, and each must work in coniunction with the other three departments to enable DIPHDA to fulfill its mis- sion. The Battle Efficiency Plaque presented DIPHDA testifies to the high degree of success achieved by thie ship's officers and men working individually and together in accomplishing the iobs assigned us during t e year. A W K : -'-'-1- --'- -'- ' , ., 4 - Ship's Company 8 July I955 The CharT above shows Trips Taken by The Ship across The Pacific since 30 OcTober 1952, when she was reassigned To Commander, Service Force, U. S. Pacific FleeT. These include nine round Trips To Japan, wiTh such additional porTs of call as Subic Bay, Philippines, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Hong Kong and San Diego, for an approximaTe ToTal of lO0,000 miles, CequivalenT To four Times around The world.j In The course of our Travels we have been exposed To many Types of OrienTal culTures and cusToms.

The brightest star in this figure is Deneb Kaitos or. . . DIPHDA. The Navy De- partment names many of its assault cargo ships after constellations or stars, and thus the DIPHDA was named. . , The ship is a single--propeller, turbine driven type vessel. The basic design is the U. S. Maritime Com- mission C-2 hull. She is 460 feet in length and 64 feet in width, with a full load displacement of 14,000 tons. The DIPHDA is capable of carrying more than 8,000 tons of cargo in her five holds, and has 6,000 engine horsepower which will move her at an average speed of 15 knots overa long period of time. At this speed our engines consume approximately 12,000 gallons of fuel oil, per day, and with our fuel ca- pacity we could steam three times across the- Pacific without stopping. Our five holds enclose approximately a half million cubic feet. We could carry T25 automobiles in addition to many tons of cargo. There are- twelve booms on the main deck, with twenty electric winches to operate them. The larger booms are capable of a thirty ton lift. In our present assignment we carry four boats, ranging from a motor whaleboat to an eighty-eight man LCM. The DIPHDA has accommodations for 450 men and 27 officers, and is now operating with a peacetime complement of T90 men and T3 officers.

All items which are to remain on shore are removed from the ship. The Special Sea and Navigation detail is set, putting specially qual- ified men on watch for the precise handling of the ship required in port. At the order from the bridge, all lines are brought aboard, the engine room stands by to respond to all orders for maneuvering the ship, and the national ensign is shifted, signifying the ship is underway. The ship's position must be continually plotted by the Navigator, thereby enabling the Captain to get an immediate picture of our location in the harbor. Once The Golden Gore Bridge is behind us, The OFFicer-of- The-Deck sets The ship's course for Jopcun, and rings up All engines ciheod s'rdndc1rd on The engine-order Telegraph.

The guns are cleaned in preparation for any tir- ing exercises which may be required while underway. Lines are spliced and the neyer-ending iob of deck maintenance continues as it does in port.' The radio gang maintains a twenty-tour hour watch, pro- cessing any communication to or from the ship. While at sea, the ship's selt-sutticiency is demonstrated in the machine shop, where intricate pieces ot machinery are produced as needed. A very busy man on board is the Ship's Barber, operating shop hours tive days a week to service the more than two hundred men aboard. , 11:1:azz:::::::1:2:::,:-:-:-2-:-:25:15:was:31115::iz-121:::1:2:zr::::::::pi:-:2:1:2:r:2sm:':::,:-:+:-:-:W.1:-:-:-:-:-1-:-:-:--.-.'.-.-.-.-.s-.,.-.. ,. . ., . . . . v . . . 3255553g5:515:5:5:5:5:51515:535:5555g5:5:5:35:53gggfggsggigfgg5355555551515g:g5:5:5f5:5:5,55:5:gf5:5fg:g5:5:351515:g1gzg5:5g1g:54:5i5:3:Qggggfgg:53:5:g5g:5:g:5:5:351g3g3f5:5gggfg:g:5:gfg:5:5:5:315555:515qg:g:g:g1g1g:5,5g55:5:5:5:3:,:5:5g:gf5:y5:5:5g5g55:5:5:E:5:3:5:5:gg:5:5:535552M5:g:2:g:5:535:52:g:5:55Eg5g5:E:2:E:5:5:2:3:5:5:51:f:5rE:5:?z:5:5:3:5:5:g5g5i:z5:a32:5:5555i:5:::5:5:3:5:315f1553:5:5:::5:5:5:5E55g5:E:E:5:5:5:5:3:g:5:a5:5:5E3355:5:5:E:5:5:5:5:5:Q:3:5:5:5E5EE5E5535f:5:3:Ei:2:5:5:5:5:a5:::5:5:5:55553251512152Eff:5:i:f:E:2:2:3:5:3535:55E2ErE52ii:5:5:555352551353a5S:5EEfE:ErEr32:5:5:5:5EfSErEr2:S:52:53551E2E2325r?rErE:E:5:5:E:QSIEIEIE21232225tErEr5:ES:5r5:5:5:5555555552E2EI?2Et2EE1E1Ef52rE2SrE:Ei:E:E:E:355EIEISIEIEIESIEIEIEriririri:5125255435152ErE25:E5E?2E151E2EfEIEIESEIEIE2225255552i1E1EfE1E1E252Er5225251125221515252EfifilifitikiririfirE53555?5E1Ef2fE1E2iErEE5ii251EEfE2ErE1215rE 5:i:ErE1ErE:E:Z?5:E553522553255E:EfS:E:5:SrE25:55E55555E5Er515f5:5f2k5:5:E:5r5:E:E:5fE5E5ErEr2155:5:E:513:2:5:5E5E5E5E3555:5:E:5v2:5:E1E:E:2:5:5:5E5E5E525E55:E:51?ErE1E:E3555555555535232515135:5:E:ErE55E2Er5:i:56EE:5:E:5E525?1E3E5EffE:E:E:E:55i:E55iE5E225555255535Efi2S2E:5:5:?i22r235:5E5E1?1?fE1525321562251555252255555151515152525553555251525152515-E:2:5E532S1E1E1215152555E3?5E2E3rErE15:E:E:3EzE5EfE2SEE:S:5:5:5iE2E2E1irE:E1h:Er55i5EE5E1E1EfErE1ErE15:E:5:5:35:55E5E5E5i5E1E25252515rEr2r5:5:E:35:f:QE5E5E15252EfE1212151E1E:5iE:35:E:E:2:5:5:5255555255555E552E1Eri12:2:5:53555555535:E:E:i2:95:a5E5E5EfE:5r5:5:5:5:5?5EfE12:E:E:E:5:5E5E252?E5:iiraiiisifsErE1E:S:5:5:5:5555E5E5:5E5E5525952E1ErtEr5rE:E:i:E:5:35:5:E:2:5:5:5:5:55EE5S952353555:52535:E:5:5:aE:5s:5EEE5i5E5Eririrai:5:E5sE53E5Ei:E:E:E:s:5:5:515533555rE:5:5:s3:Q5i55fi5E:351525:35:5:5:5EE5i5E5E5?::ise:5:E3EgE5E:E:::3:5:5::5E55E5E:5:5:5:5:5:5:515E5ErE:55:1 5555253555EEEEQE553355552555555551215:5:5:s:25525555255?5252555E:5ff:2:2:5:55355fiisisisisisiiiffizt5251515E5552255555553555:532552255552525525553515151265255:55?aE5Ef535zE5r5r221515552555535555555:Er5:2:iE3E5552sEs3235152515:5:25555525255225255222151915412555555525E552535555242595:2555r513E5:5i2E55552255E12fE15g5:f:555555555555355:5:5f555555525552552212:522952E5252555E1Ef51E:5?5?5EsiffifisirE12255555333E33?5i:E5255E5555355:5E5i525Efi2315:515152252255595555525:51552ErE:5:555r55252555555555535552525555555E151E:5:E:3iE52iiisisiaiaiffsie22555E5Ez5E5E25rE1215:3:5E55555252555E2551525955559551229555255555535255225siifeisifisisiairirfisi5552552535:5:5155555255555255Efsiisisiifsisfriri231215:S:5:255E55f55i25Ef?5E5355515:5:55:52555555E5E2555EifE:i:5r5:5552E5?5?5EsE5E151SfE:EE2?5EfE2252555525151515:sisifisie53252555555553rfrfisisiiiisisigfrki:5:9?5E555225222222:535525555355Er51219r5EEEE5E5i5E5f5 -V -- - -... .... .,...,.'.-,,...-.-...,.....,.-.4...-.-..,.,.,.-.,.,.:,,.-.,.,.5A.-,-.-,-,.:,,.:.,.,.1W.,.,.4.,.-.-.-.-.-.-g,,.:.,.:.,.-.:.,,,.,.,.,.,,.:.:.-..:.,.:-1.1.1.4.1.:.:.:4.:.:.:.-.-.-.-.-.-.f,-,.-.-1-1-:-:.:.'---.-.-.Vff.-.-:.:.:-:f.:.-.-.-.-:V:-:-1-:-:.:Q.::,:,:::,:::,W.:.g:,:::,:::5,:::,:,:,1::,f5:53155::::::,:::::1:,::z::::f:,:f:,1,:::::-z-:-:4:-:-:-::::::::Q:::::1:::::,zv:A:A:-:-1-1-1-Q:1:1:1:,:::::1:,::::g31::::::rg:1:::f:::::1:::,:5:5:515:5:5ggg:::,:,5:5:5:5:5:5151513515:3:g,:,:35:53515151515g:::::::::::3:3:5:g515g3::::sg:35:5:55:5:g:g::::::::5:3:5:5gg:g:51 i A man's gotta eat .... . . . and To saTisfy This basic need, some TwenTy-four men give Their daily efforTs. The Supply DeparT- menT handles The planning and preparaTion of The food. IT is cooked in The Ship's Galley, under The sup- ervision of The Chief Commissary STeward. The cooks' working day begins some Two and a half hours before reville. Once The food is pre- pared, iT is served in Three differenT locaTions, The crew's mess hall, The Chief PeTTy Officers' quarfers, and The Officers' wardroom. The final end of having a meal before The men is a composiTe of many means. In addiTion To The ac- Tual preparaTion and serving of The meals, The food, or ingredienTs Thereof, musT be broughT aboard, sTored eiTher in dry sTore rooms or refrigeraTed ones. Planning The amounT of foods which will be con- sumed over a prolonged period aT sea is no slighT problem, as noT only The ToTal amounT, buT The se-paraTe iTems musT be carefully calculaTed in order To insure adequacy yeT noT wasTefulness. :::z,-.f--,:2,g, :g1rsgg1 gm.-rs-Q'-::.s:f::r5:aEfE T 214 ' : - 9 ' H 5 The Ship's organization anticipates a variety ot requirements. Our records and clerical work are main- tained by the ship's ottice, under the direction ot the Executive Otticer. A vital part ot a ship is its elec- trical shop, which maintains all electrical equipment in operating order. The Reel room is a space located in the after part ot the ship, in which mooring lines and underway replenishment equipment are stored on large spools. Shortly after sighting the dis- tressed vessel, all last minute prep- arations were made for taking her in tow. We made our approach star- board side to, and when almost abeam of her it was easily seen that the Morning Light',s propeller was missing. A few moments later we passe-d our tow line to her, and she began retrieving it. We then gradually pulled ahead of her, and soon had the Morning Light in tow. That evening the seas increased and we could maintain only minimum headway. By the following morn-' ing, with very rough seas and the two ships rolling heavily, the tow line parted, and the Morning Light was again adrift. The DIPHDA took station in proximity to the Morning Light until an assisting fleet tug from Japan arrived. - Often times the unexpected arises, which alters the ship's normal routine. A good example of this occurred when, on a recent trip, the DIPHDA was directed by Commander Naval Forces Far East to as- sist a civilian ship, the S. S. MORNING LIGHT, which was in distress some nine hundred miles off. the coast of Japan. Upon receipt of this message, we were more than twe-lve hours steaming from the Morning Light's last reported position. Knowing that she had lost her propeller, we spent the re-mainder of the day making prepara- tions to take he-r in tow, once we had rendezvoused. Although we had the Morning Light in radio contact, by midnight we- still had not sighted her visually or picked her up on radar. Believing ourselves to be somewhere in the Morning Light's vicinity, we attempted vis- ual contact by shinning our 24 inch search lights on the low clouds. Finally at daybreak, we sighted her.

Once there, the item of maior importance after more than two weeks at sea, was wordlfrom home. The mail ar- rived in several bags full, and took the mailman two hours to sort and deliver. The ship soon settled down to normal routine. The anchor was 1 cleaned and the Supply Department began the tedious bookwork con- nected with the ottloading of its cargo. One boiler was cooled to facili- tate repairs and severalmen climbed inside to work. We have entitled our picture on the lett, Seeing the world through a boiler. Yokosuka, Japan, is located on the main island ot Honshu, approximately forty miles south of Tokyo T k o Ba The Yokosuka Naval Base atolords an excellent harbor and shore facilities for our Fleet. on o y y. lt is also a good liberty port as a trip to Tokyo-Yokohama area can be made by train in an hour and tit- teen minutes. An interesting sight in the area is one ot the largest Buddhas in the world, located about TO miles away at Kamakurai i l i Several days later . . . and we were underway tor Sasebo. . The Trip down To Sasebo Takes forTy-eighT hours. As iT is Through shelTered waTer, iT generally provides smooTh sailingand a chance To accomplish many of our prescribed drills and exercises. Some exercises can be conducTed individually or in small groups. OThers require The Team-work of The whole ship's com- panys. Whereas The QuarTermasTers, The Engineers and The Medical deparTmenT can exercise indepen- denTly, The ComloaT lnTormaTion CenTer and The gun crews require The ship To be aT General QuarTers. a' Even at sea, certain periods are designated for holiday routine. The use of this timecan take many forms, but is generally taken advantage ot by the watch-standers to grab a few more hours sleep. On clear days skeet-shooting is a popular pastime on the tantail. Occasionally we plan a ship's smoker, and rig a boxing ring on No. 4 hatch.

Our next port is Sasebo, which is on the western side of Kyushu, a southern island of Japan. The en- trance to the harbor is narrow, crammed with many small islands, and always full of Japanese fishing craft. Consequently the Officer-of-the-Deck, and his watch, must be extremely vigilant. Upon arriving, we were welcomed by one of Sasebo's very rare snow storms. Sasebo being one of the busier ports for supply operations, the Supply office personnel often feel like the above picture depicts. However, the DIPHDA's Supply Department has achieved an outstanding record in Fleet Issue operations. The harbor of Sasebo, Japan is long cmd narrow, Tringeduby Terraced hills which offer a well-proTecTed anchorage. The Town lies aT The Tar end of The harbor, and crawls up The surrounding hills.

Our arrival was greeted by many Chinese iunks and upon tying up to the buoy, our gangway was jammed with Chinese mer- chants clamoring to come aboard. One ot the more interesting ot the solicitors was Mary-Soo, who offers to paint the entire ship in repayment for any garbage, old line, and bits ot canvas. She drives a hard bargain with the ship's Bos'n and after negotiations brings her crew of thirty to titty and sets them to work. Mary-Soo got a glimpse ot American know-how upon seeing the- ship's paint-rollers, and was fascinated by them to the extent that she was willing to offer half her qUeendom to acquire some. 515:5mygg:g:gg::5:::,:535:5:3:,:5:5:5:g3::::::gig:gzgg13:5:333:5:3:5:5:5:r:21215:5:g5:5:5:5:5:535:25:211:59:::1:5:55135:E:3:5:5:5:35:25:22555:E:5:E:5:5:5:5:5:5:5:5:5:I::sie:1:::E:5:3:5:3:5:2:212:2:r::::f:E:5:5:f:5:5:5:5:3:3:r:zr:r:1::::E:E:E:35:E:5:2:2:2:5:g5:f:5:3:5:f:arss:2:1:rEi2:5i:E13135:5:1:5:5:5:1:fE:5151?5:35:5:5:1:fgEr35:5:5:3f:5:f:f:f:i5rE5:3:5:5:3:5:1:I:2:EE:E:5:E:3Ezirf:1:2:1:fE:E:51ErE:5:E:5:5:3:1:af:eiifiririiririrE:i:5:Qf:5:A2:2:131Ea1E1:1E:355:525122:2:5:5g:1:1:5:3:2:f:f:Iss?2:2:2:2:I53155231525252552E22252512:5:3:E:E:2:1:1?f:91E1?rE:5:11ErE:21:22:1:255152E2515226215rEr5EE:3:1:1:f:251215152E12:ErErE:E:1:2:2:fE252:2:1EfE2E2EfE:55131535:35r5ErE:Er5S3:5:HfS:f:2:2:2:f:I5251525132:ESErErEE:E:E:E:E:1:1:1Ef:2:13151E:ErErE:E5:f:frI:2:1i:1525222:5:5:E:2:f:1:I:2:2E2EfE2E51515:E:E:E:I:2:f:1:IE15251551E1E:E1ErErs1:f:92:2:f:IE25255251523152352515:kiririri:5:E:1:f:f:f:2:2:2f:fE2E -:fgsg2555553s3SE5iEz55E5f:5g2gEgg5g55s:ss51655553552525E32525i55gsg52555:55E5255is552555555355355555gfgsgiiiiiisizii323555553355555:5:iE555E5E3EsEzE5E3EQi5i5Eg2g5535:s?5552555fsizigfgigigigfgag55125523552555255555555535:5-12?55525555E55g55555g55555gEgs55g2g52i5:22255Egigsgaggsgsgigift55555552g5:s:25E2255:553355Eg2g2g5:5gsE5E2525555525555525553225529512653555:9555525Eigisigigigigigiiisiz532525555512525:225:5E525Ss?a5255935525255555559555553555555555Qf55sE5E3:5:5:E522252555555555555552:fieiiaisi,355552555535525522525552255555255555552EsE?325555Ei255ii555::3:55255355555552553:555325255E35555555555555559255555555525ifmiifffiisififiisiaiiffiisisisiiE25555555555535255525555555553555555555555555552sE5E522a55EE5255:5rEr55525355555555555555555255955E5EsisE5E5E355255g5:5555255555555255E5555532555555555529555:5:5:5:5E5?sE5555E55559552155 Liberty in Hong Kong provided many interesting sights. The Hong Kong policeman in his pagoda-like stand was very picturesque. Tiger-Balm Garden, on the outskirts ofthe city, otters an interesting picture of Chine-se history and legend. Built by a native millionaire, it displays much of Chinese architecture and sculpture at a glance. Hong Kong is British territory, and we were greeted on our arrival by a young British naval officer in an immaculate white uniform, his brightly-polished sword at his side. The colony is as much Westernized as any place in the Orient, with many hand- some western-style buildings. Many people there speak some English, but the over- whelming maiority are Chinese, and it is virtually a Chine-se city we had come to visit. The place is a bewildering array of large and small stores, places for eating and amusement, and beautiful beaches, all competing fiercely fand mostly dishonestlyj for the American dollars we brought in. That we were able to have a lot of fun and buy a lot of bargains, without being cheated too much, was due to a very fine non-sectarian, church-supported organiza- tion known as Servicemen's Guides. The working part of this group consists of Father George N. Gilligan and seve-ral vol- unteers, who keep a small office at the landing, passing out free pamphlets, coffee and advice- to all visiting seamen. This trip was a hard one to dress for. ln the 50 degree weather at San Francisco we wore peacoats, blue uniforms, were comfortable in Japan, but Hong Kong is way down south near the Indo-China border, and the weather definitely called for whites!
