DUNCAN RETURNS On l June 1969 DUNCAN departed Pearl Harbor and headed east on its final leg of an anxious homeward journey. Men were becoming nervous, impatient, and inordinately happy. Throughout the ship the familiar malady known as chan- nel fever took its toll. Movies were shown all night long for those who could- n't sleep, as they counted down the days, the watches, and the minutes until that final sea detail. June eighth after seven long, unforget- table, interesting, and too often lonely months, Point Loma cut through the dawn haze. All hands were on deck ex- periencing those sights and feelings that announced HOME. After San Diego Har- bor and a smooth landing, came the ex- plosion of families, well wishers, Wives, girl friends, and the good solid earth of the U.S.A.
