USS FLINT Kit i € And For Those Who Waited . . . It ' s cold on the pier at the Naval Weapons Station. Sometimes it seems an especially evil wind blows up Suisun Bay whenever a large number of people gather there. They began arriving singly or in family groups, the wives, children, lovers and friends who ' d seen their men off on that now distant day in June. Those who ' d been through the experience before tried to reassure those who were new to the experience. Slowly, the groups of people came together, for warmth and companion- ship. The news of the ship ' s delay sent a ripple of concern through the crowd. Already diapers needed changing and children pulled on their mother ' s coats wanting to know when daddy was coming home. Base authorities were sympathetic but helpless to do very much. A warehouse was opened up but it provided little except refuge from the wind. Throughout the morning and into the afternoon they waited, until the grey silhouette of FLINT squeezed through the final bridge. The cold was forgotten as the ship drew slowly closer to the pier. The crowd gathered near the foot of the accomodation ladder waiting for the signal that finally came, then surged up to the ship to be reunited with their men. There were some tears, more laughter and a large measure of love thrown in. But the scene wasn ' t much different than the reunions of families have been throughout the centuries since men first took to the sea. It ' s just in the nature of the calling. 63
