However, on several oc- casions we disproved that pessimistic saying. The smell of food cooking on open charcoal grills filled the ship and set our mouths to watering as the MS's did their thing on the fantail. Music filled our ears while the shipis bands performed a wide arrangement of musical treats. It was a time to forget the loneliness of the sea and the hard work ahead of us, a time to relax and enjoy a little bit of Americana, a picnic under the sun on a warm day.

Little did we know at the time, that this was just the first drop in what would become a flood of underway replenishments. In this case, USS HALEAKALA CAE-251 had brought a Terrier missile from her homeport of Concord, Cali- fornia, to transfer to us between San Diego and Ha- waii. The heavy weather we experienced delayed the transfer, but eventually the seas calmed and we made our approach. This first unrep was soon completed and the high HALSEY standards of efficiency and safety were established for the rest of the cruise. Re- arming is probably the most complicated evolution we can perform at sea, requiring the utmost coordination, skill and physical agility by all hands. A Well Done to all hands for the professionalism displayed in this unrep and all the succeeding replenishments. MTN Q

FOX Division is a large division with three major areas of concern: The four 55B', fire control radar systemsg the 6'48 three dimensional air search radar systemg the HAR- POON surface to surface weapon system. The 55B's,, are used to detect, lock on and track incoming airborne targets faircraft or missilesj, and to provide targeting data to the Terrier Missile System. The 48', is a formidable, long range, three dimensional air search radar which has excel- lent detection and tracking capabilities. The HARPOON weapons system is the Navy's, and HALSEY,s, newest and most effective long range surface to surface missile system. v Top: FTM3 K.A. Dean, FTM3 R.A. Corsey. Middle: FTM3 M.J.
