' 1 f A ' f , f g fc, 5, , 2 DEPLOYMENT The day was a clear, bright day. At the end of the pier lay the four ships of Cort Div 31. Small knots of people wandered about the ships: families and friends Come for a last moment together. The conversation was quiet and thoughtfulg the glances full of meaning. The goodbyes werea little strainedg and here and there a tear fell. The Admiral departed, and suddenly came the words Take in the brow. Signal flags were broken, and Hooper Was underway on the first leg of her cruise.
