Under the operational control of Fleet Training Group, FOR- RESTAL operated in the vicinity of Guantanamo Naval Base, Cuba - known familiarly as Gitmo, - for several weeks of extensive training. Sweat was the order of the day. Except for an occasional holiday routine, the fare was generally un- derway in the morning, operate- all-day, back-at-night. The above picture, of the Fleet Training Group arriving one morn- ing is deceptive . . . While the FTG rode us in an informal tropical khaki uniform, we donned battle dress for one general quarters af- ter another . . . heads and hands were the only exposed areas of our bodies . . . The ship's laundry did a lot of business . . .v We were refreshed on how to make the ship as watertight as possible, how to cope with torpedo and rocket hits, what to do in case of various mechanical and electrical failures, how to make precision anchorages, how expeditiously to launch, fight and recover aircraft, and how to defend ourselves against a nuclear burst. The ship's Damage Control As- sistant, Lt PATRICK, was the locus of all the sweat . . . and he made us trim the fat . . . repair lockers went from poor to fair to good to excellent to outstanding . . . Ashore there was tennis and golf and swimming and bowling and div- ing and horse-back riding and drinking . . . Just about everything you could ask for. Just about. There were not too many single girls.
