MIDWAY CV-41 While operating in the Indian Ocean, we had the chance to work with the USS MID- WAY CV-41. The Midway is homeported in Yokosuka Japan. We performed many ex- ercises, received fuel, repair parts and most important of all, mail from the carrier. We escorted Midway out of the Indian Ocean and back to the Philippines, where our paths parted. Midway returned to Ja- pan and we went on to Hong Kong. 48

THE PHILIPPINES ' id. Much of our time in the Philippines the Fanning appeared helpless. She was raised from the water and put on blocks to have the hull and sonar dome worked on. But this did not mean the crew was help- less. The colorful jeepnies and trikes that provided the unique form of trans- portation could get crewmembers any- place they wished to go at a price that could be bargined for. The crew enjoyed the many activities provided on the base and the Honey- Koes, MO-Jos and San Miguel beer off base. The Phillippines was a sigh of relief after being in the I.O. and everyone enjoyed our long stay. Wff : .0 - S fj£g |PS-55L ■ JjH CALAPANDAYfliJ 50
