The 17th and Last WestPac The Last WestPac , as this final deployment to the Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific became known, covered the seven months and two days from 18 March to 20 October, 1975. HANCOCK ' S 17th cruise developed into two phases — evacuation operations and training. From the beginning, it was no ordinary cruise. Five days after leaving Alameda, two of HANCOCK ' S squadrons debarked in Pearl Harbor to make room for the aircraft and 300 men of Heavy Marine Helicopter Squadron 463. Eight hours after arrival at Subic Bay in the Philippines on 6 April, the conversion was completed. The air wing was beached and more Marine helicopters, with 500 Marine ground troops were brought on board. The evacuations of Phnom Penh and Saigon in April were punctuated by a liberty visit to Singapore which was aborted after only two days when the fall of South Vietnam became imminent. Once back at NAS Cubi Pt., the air wing was brought on board again, but not for long. When Cambodian Khmer Rouge troops hijacked the U.S. merchant ship SS MAYACUEZ, HANCOCK and accompanying Marines sailed to her rescue, but returned to ' ubic Bay when MAYAGUEZ was recovered without her. ie remainder of the cruise was spent in training. In Operation Blue Sk y, HANCOCK o, ratt ' with the Republic of China ' s Air Force. And in Readiness Exercise 1-76, Hancock pai icif iid in a large-scale simulated war at sea.
