ENTERPRISESTYU lust as the Enterprise set precedents in carrier battle groupair mand set precedents in providing rec reational activities for the crew. In tne words of an old cliche: The men of the Enterprise worked hard and played hard. The epitome of this practice was the All Hands Party at Cubi Point Officers ' and All Hands ' beaches when the Big E arrived back in the Philippines after 93 continuous days at sea without a port call or liberty. It wasn ' t an ordinary ship ' s party, with a keg of beer and a few mess cooks flipping burgers over a flaming barbec ue grill. It was a professionally catered party, with professional enter- tainment and enough food and drink to accommodate and satisfy an expected 2,500 crewmen. As Enterprisemen walked off the brow onto Leyte Pier, a mere 100 yards away were white sandy beaches, crystal-clear aqua waters of Subic Bay and the biggest spread of food and drink any sailor could imagine set beneath cool palm trees. There were steaks, ribs, c hie ken, beef kabob, lumpia and tacos. And plenty of beer, soda pop and mixed drinks. Bands played, the Navy Exchange rolled out its pers and there were a variety of ac tivities for the hard-t hargers such as water skiing, snorkeling and excursions in speedboats, paddleboats and a glass-bottom boat. Enterprise ' s Welfare and Recreation Fund picked up the tab for the two-day fun in the sun event that was attended by 4,874 crewmen — nearly double the number expected. The manager of the Cubi Point Naval Air Station C tubs, who was responsible for coordinating the catering of the party, said that a party of this magnitude had never been attempted before at NAS Cubi Point or Subic Naval Station. The Enter- prise Special Services Division and the crew not only proved it could nappen, with the cooperation of the host facility, but that it could be a success. The Captain ' s intention was to show his appreciation for the hard work and outstani ing performance by the ship ' s company and air wing during operations in the Indian Oc ean, said LT Richard Sexton, the Big E ' s Special Services Officer, referring to the original idea for a ship ' s party proposed by the Commanding Officer, CAPT R.L. Leuschner Jr. LT Sexton was directed by CAPT Leuschner to make it happen, and make the party trulv exceptional. ment, the party was truly exceptional. PHILIPPINES I III
