Lewis as COMDESRON 33. He was soon relieved by Cap- tain Raymond E. Ward who held this position for the remainder of the deployment. While the Squadron was not put through the rigorous tasks of the previous cruise, the Commodore still had many important matters to keeptrack of and was always on a busy schedule. ' Although STRAUSS was flagship for very little of the time, the influence of Commodore Ward was still felt through the many staff officers and men that often were aboard. The frequent visits of Chaplain Blackburn and Dr. Galligan were eager- ly awaited and deeply appreciated by all. The men of STRAUSS thank Commodore Ward and his staff for the fine work and welcome assistance that they extended during WESTPAC 73. E S . 1 l ,FN ,s -,.,-v...--..1-..-,. A ' ' -Un., - -... -...,.

' A-:L--rmst.tw-fesifkiz-1,-4.-. f5f'iZ1 .s ' i ' G' ... September 26, 1973. We pollywogs were walking around with large f'cat-who- caught-the-canary smiles on our faces, and stealthily concocting pots and pails full of evil-smelling messes. Others of us were borrowing eggs and other potentially messy and uncomfortable objects from the galley. Plans were made, and H Hour drew nearer. And then it started. Executive Officer, please lay to the ASROC Deck. Mr. Bostic, please lay to the ASROC Deck. Chief Petty Officer Baggett, please lay to the ASROC Deck. On and on it went, as the entire succession of Shellbacks were covered, coated, sprayed and in general made completely uncomfortable. We pollywogs were dan- cing around in a frenzy of glee, getting sweet revenge for offences real and im- agined. We had thoroughly demoralized the low-life Shellbacks. They just stood there and took it. But why, we wondered, were they smiling so secretly, and why did they seem to be making an extra effort to remember who was doing what' to whom? We were all too soon to find out, for tomorrow was to be. . .
