Helena (CA 75) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1957 volume:

. . ' iW . ( T ( C GURM Ocean .■.iivi;i ; v T I C Ocean ' O GURM Tiii ' iii liihiiiriitiriiiiyMii ■ r ipss mam Howdy! My name is Six-bits, and I ' m your guide through these pages of the 1957 HELENA Cruise Book. My nature is pretty amiable, and I ' m proud as a peacock of my name, which, of course, means seventy-five, bearing a strong resemblance to CA-75. Our book has something brand new this year (in addition to me). I ' m leaning on it . . . our beautiful emblem, pro- claiming our motto Proud and Fearless. Each of its three major colors has a special meaning to us. The blue represents the United States Navy, mightiest fighting or- ganization in the world, while the gold and silver allude to the state of Montana, whose motto is Oro Y Plata (Gold and Silver). In our Cruise Book, I ' ll do my very best to re-create some of the wonderful experiences we ' ve had during these past six months. Some of our shipmates have put forth a good bit of effort in making these available to you, so come on aboard for your very own cruise with the USS HELENA, Queen of the Fleet. THE TALE OF THE HELENA Within the covers of this book is a tale — the tale of a ship and 1 200 men. You won ' t find its words printed on any page, for this is a tale that lies in the hearts and minds of the men of the HELENA. It is a tale with multitude of variations, all based on a single theme — the Cruise of the U.S. S. HELENA, 1957. To some of the men on board, this was the first experience on foreign shores. To others, it was the finale of a Navy enlistment. To the HELENA herself, it was the ninth tour of duty in the Western Pacific since com- missioned September 4, 1945. This tale almost began unexpectedly in November, 1956, when the tense situation in the Middle East made necessary the emergency deploy- ment of the HELENA to Pearl Harbor. However, the relaxation of the tension permitted the ship to return once more to the familiar waters of Long Beach and her men to the arms of their families and friends. It was on the morning of April 10, 1957, that the HELENA pointed her grey bow westward. Thusly begins the tale. During the six months that followed, HELENA put more than 37,000 sea miles under her keel, slicing the waves in that wide expanse of ocean where, years before, the two previous HELENA ships roamed as well. The pages which follow con offer only glimpses of the tribulations and the triumphs which the HELENA and her men experienced during this cruise. These pages offer but a thread upon which each man ' s own personal experiences, thoughts, and reactions will be strung. It is to these proud men and their faithful ship — and to the tale which will be told and retold in the years to come — that this book is gratefully dedicated. i=? - ' ■ ' ■ ' ■- -■■ COMMANDING OFFICER Born in Laconic, New Hampshire, on Christmas Day in 1908, Captain Arthur F.

Hsmts First port of coll on our cruise was Pearl Harbor, situated on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Here is one of the world ' s most famous and luxurious vacationlands, whose friendly people, smooth-swaying palms, and soft evening breezes quickly won our affection. There was the gay and carefree relaxation on Waikiki Beach from early morning to the or- ange-glow of day ' s end . . . and the profound solemnity of National Memorial Cemetery, where rest many of our service- men who gave their all that their country might live. Hawaii provided a welcome and wonderful stopover on our journey to the adventurous For East. 10 Pineapple Before Harvest CRUDIVTHREE Arrives Pearl Harbor Honolulu Lies under the Majestic Diamondhead The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific Members of the Crew Visit Foster Gardens loloni Palace, an Attraction for Sightseers A Monument to the First King of Hawaii, Kamehameha, I iMssi A Japanese Temple? - A great change has overcome Japan since the Allied Victory. A sweeping Westernization is noticeable everywhere. Kimonos are often replaced with stylish dresses or bobby-sox outfits. The clop-clop of wooden sandals is still to be heard, but not so frequently as before. American occupation has greatly aided Japan ' s economic growth, and our servicemen have shown the Japanese people both kindness and sincerity. A Japanese home is still virtually without furniture. Though there will perhaps be a foot-high dining table and a small dressing table, both are moved out of the way when not in use. Meals are eaten while kneel- ing around the table and are cooked on a tableside stove, using charcoal for fuel. Homes are spotlessly clean, a condition aided by removing shoes at the door before entering. Walls are often movable and mode of heavy paper. Above all, the people work hard and are filled with a vibrant spirit. They are happy and contented, not prone to complaining. Their lives are simple ones, and they attempt to live them fully. These simplicities often go unnoticed by those whose lives whiz by at on astounding pace, leaving little time for realization of such enjoyment. 13 1 The Diabufsu of Kamakura We Don ' t usually Pose for Picures, But YOKOSUKA Yokosuka ' s Wide open Spaces The Marines March on Fuji iSSEE k: - if hsmstmp6ctfiBiE JH Hmmmmmmm!!!!

Here is truly one of the World ' s most important outposts. The city itself offered little in the way of enter- tainment, but there were ample opportunities for camera enthusiasts to capture both native culture and scenic beauty. If we forget all else, the odors of Kneeling cannot possibly escape our memories. And, of course, there was the usual bone of contention for all — the ricksha drivers. Sr I Live in That House There!

The spectacular harbor of Hong Kong, with its thousands of junks and sampans, was our first sight of this lovely city. With the beautiful view from Victoria Peak, breath-taking Repulse Bay, and the odd, colorful statues and idols of Tiger Balm Gardens, it is no wonder that this island and mainland territory is a world-famous tourist attraction. We rode the Peak Tram . . . saw beautiful shrines and pagodas . . . and, more than anything else, we bought! HELENA men came back toting new custom-tailored suits of cashmere and British woolens, jade, ivory, cameras, leather goods, and even bicycles . . . ever mindful of the never-soy-die street merchants and hucksters crying, You buy, Joe?
