Parting - a Time of uiet Sadness Early in the year GALVESTON began making preparations for her Mediterranean Cruise, Larger amounts of supplies were brought aboard and a close inspection of all systems was made. As the departure date approached there was more and more Work to be done. Then, on Monday February 13th GALVESTON sailed out of San Diego's har- bor into the blue waters of the Pacific, thus beginning her first Mediterranean de- ployment, She left behind her a pier full of tear stained faces, which would not really smile again until she returned. One of the hardest words to say is goodbye A11 hands stood at quarters while their loved ones on the pier watched them slowly sail out to the open sea.
