We've had the opportunity to devote more time to our machinery and yet still had the much deserved liberty time. For many this cruise was a first, for others a repeat of years past. But for all of us it has been an experience we'll long remember, not only for its pleasures, but for the hard work and new ideas tried. Like the day the distillate pump on 1641 evaps burnt up-Chief Lusk and company in main control spent 24 straight hours jury-rigging a salt water circ pump. Then there was 7942 engineroom with hours of work on the mai,n circ pump on the way back to Pearl. fWho said ship's forces couldn't do the job?l And who will forget that.the passageway by ,412 fireroom was painted four times in seven months? 1611 fireroom had its outstanding moments also, like the day they did 15 knots on 1B boiler with no water, or answering a full back bell on both shafts-with 1B boiler, again. That must be one heck of a boiler. Phil Volz had his hands full with all those fueling details, and that 5,000 gallon truck in Sattahip. Over the entire deployment the BT's took on a little over three million gallons of fuel. , While deployed this cruise M Division has had two people make advancements in rate. They were MM1 Roberts and BT3.Boland. Three others also drew recognition, but for a different reason. FA Hanamaikai, FA Hubbart, and FN Allard all became fathers. And speaking of gains, M Division was pleased to receive those nine desperately needed men who came aboard while we were away. But even with all the lessons learned, we were all ready for that return to our home. For some, families will be waiting, and for others the prospect of establishing new homes. For others who have served their time that final entry into port will stay with them as they think back to the many times the STRAUSS engineers brought us back safely. -V Y 11:-in H j3l,,,,,,41:,,,,,,,,:5.:m,,n,a..,a.-:..si:.1:f-iengl '-94735331457555-fS'1:L?f?::-3 +i5-f'Tg'i'- +-2' .8115 A-,Nr '-'.: ...,4:21 .,.g.g:fnif':,1. r-:hi3iP 5:,1'-lific fig-2:15131:gp-tg:-f'1i'EP: i '7f7'ff-:ft--f'tfi'
