R. WEBSTER, USAF All is quiet as the ship closes another day and begins preparations for an unevent- ful evening of relaxation. One big splash of water in the distance changes everything. Mayday! Mayday! is picked up on the radios - a jet fighter has crashed ten miles from the Iwo. The flight deck crew saw the plane hit the water and all eyes are riveted to two small billows in the sky above. As the parachutes make their way to the sea, Iwo makes emergency preparations for a rescue. Flight deck activity becomes frantic as the ship's helo is gunned up for a launch. Within minutes she is airborne and closing on the pilots as they disappear into the water. With a Marine Squadron helo also in the air, both pilots are covered as boats from the USS Cleveland make the recovery. Both men are uninjured, though wet, and both are thankful for our timely assistance. Preparations are once again made for moments of rest. The day has ended well. F4 PHA NTOM PLA NE ,, ,I- ,.

But it is also, upon our return, a place of transition from strange disorientation to familiarity When we enter Pearl Harbor we are back in the United States, but not yet home. For this reason, it stands apart from all our other ports . f V i::f.u.a1m.-,. in ' In l sw- O CA LL I' .....-3 1f-- I ,af .Ji i ' i To Sailors, the phrase PORTS OF CALL is synonymous with LIBERTY CALL . Unfortunately, this deployment has eliminated this association from the minds of the Iwo's crew. Operational commitments often prevented us from going ashore, even though a port was Within easy view of the ship. DaNang, South Vietnam, was such a place. This city, which is the home for many of our Marine's helicopters, is often subject to heavy mortar attacks by the Viet Cong. lwo Jima was often designated as l-IELO HAVEN , a secondary airport overnight for DaNang's helos. We provided safety for the aircraft and a break from rough living ashore for their crews. Each night as We passed by DaNang, thoughts of liberty were necessarily frustrated and PORTS OF CALL lost its traditional meaning. ...- Mt., 1..- ,w .. .v V5 ,.,-1 -s 1- . ,, -0 E' ' H21 1' . 1 0. .F 5 ' fr- qv. a s .'.
