0722 12 lVlarch 1974 Underway with VIP passengers on board ln order to get to Charleston from Brem- erton, HUNLEY had to rise 85 feet and come back dovvn again-safely! No, it vvasn't an act of magic or mumbo jumbo that carried HUNLEY up and dovvn again, but rather a series of locks that are the heart of the Panama Canal. The 50 mile-long canal is a shortcut from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Without it, HUN- LEY and every other ship making the journey vvould have to sail around South America and come back north again-an additional 5,000 miles. The 8-hour trip through the canal vvas a unique experience most of the crevv vvill not see again. The ship anchored near Pan- ama City and took aboard over 150 officers, civilians, dependents and enlisted men either stationed or living in the Canal Zone. Leaving Panama City early in the morning, the ship started its' journey through the lvliraflores and Pedro lvliguel locks vvhere it vvas raised 85 feet. On vve travelled through Galliard Cut, the most difficultvvork of the American engi- neers vvho finished the canal in l9l1l. The cut is a passagevvay through the remnants of the Rocky lVlountai n Chain in Central America. The workers had to cut theirivvay through eight miles of solid rock. Once' out ofthe cut, the ship vvent across Gatun Lake, formed by the damming of the Chagres River. The lake is dotted vvith islands that vvere once the tops of hills. !-Xt the vvest end of the lake, just before the Gatun locks, the ship came upon a number of moored ships vvhich madethe area appear to be a huge parking lot for ships. Once through the locks, l-lUlXll.EY made its vvay to the port of Colon vvhere the guests and VlP's vvere disembarked. As HUNLEY left the Canal Zone vvaters and steamed tovvard Guantanamo, the crevv received a message from the Commander of the Naval Forces in Panama thanking the men for their hospitality tovvard the guests on the trip from Panama City to Cristobal
