At the start of our cruise we were twenty strong but many were transfered to other ships and bases and new ones joined us before we returned. The group comprised the various department heads, Gunnery, Communciations, Operations, Engineering, Supply and division officers. The primary and collater- al duties of each are too numerous to mention, We have a vivid recollection of the intense search for relative bearings grease, stories of one being led astray by two experienced Ensigns, holidays in japanese Kaminos, of late sleepers who witnessed sunrise morning after morning, and how shoes could be soled while getting a quick shine. Not to mention dental appointments, scuppers, att work on the VK scope and the quality of martinis ina repitoire of Sundry tidbits. All these things make up a wealth of experience that cannot be replaced. G

40 Cfzlbfs I rw The Chiefs are the on-the-job instructors and Q hip-crackers of the ship. During our colorful cruise, we were heavily staffed but the number is expected to dwindle on arrival to Uncle Sugar. Goeller, Winer and Young Che's a feederll L-are due for Shore Duty and Sullivan is on his way to becoming a civilian, after giving up at 20 years service. Tamplyn and Doc Bartley ,are sea duty short-timers but the Gunner and Tiger , not having yet packed their bags, will probably be around for a while. Craddock and Bolton are perennials.. i A few sea miles and a few years of duty are represented in the CPO quarters. The combined total is 164 years, an average of over 16 years per chief. Fifty years of this total were spent on DD or DE type ships so tincan duty is not unusual to CPO's. Very few can go out on 20 without a short tour on DD's. The Tiger came close until he joined us before the cruise. The Chief's quarters posses the most con- sistent, on-time Movie schedule aboard ship, and a coffee pot that has'nt cooled down in EW Y 'if I, h h I d Front Row, L-R: Bartley HMC, Tamplyn YNC Winer MEC fem' fs W me ' e Sewfofy fs e C,0u'age Book Row, L-R: Craddock BMC, Kooob GMC Young csc Bolton Mc and flourishes - and a man's ego is rapidly and humorously shattered.
