l-lTCS Amon gives a lesson on damage control. GSE3 Samuelson and father smile for the camera. Tiger cruise A Navy Tiger is a male relative or friend of a crew- member who is invited to join the crewmember in Hawaii and ride the ship back to San Diego. During this last week of the deployment, our Tigers were taken on tours of the ship and were permitted to participate in many of the daily shipboard evolutions. ' Many demonstrations of FLETCHER's capabilities, includ- ing a night gun-shoot using star-shells, were shown to our Tigers. Possibly most exciting was the air show put on by the CONSTELLATlON's air group. Who can forget the F-14's going supersonic as they passed down FLETCHER's port side at an altitude of about 800 feet. GMG3 Rapaport's brother takes in the view of the Coronado Bridge.
