INDIAN OCEAN OPERATIONS 20 JULY - 8 SEPTEMBER 1979 Following the S hellback Initiation, we continued southwesterly, to the vicinity of Diego Garcia. The USS RATHBURNE entered port and obtained much welcome mail for transfer to our ship. Then we proceed- ed to the island of Mauritius, which is off the coast of Madagascar. We arrived at Port Louis, the capital, on 28 July. Mauritius is a gorgeous, paradise-like island. British and French influences are predominant. The people were generally quite friendly. Mike Turnauckas, our CETA, was treated to an airplane ride over the island by a local British family. A Mauritian policemen gave a broke anil lost sailor taxi fare back to the ship. That friendship was reciprocat- ed in a variety of ways. In one instance our Mess Specialists treated 36 bovs from the Mauritian Muslim Orphanage to a party on the Mess Decks. W i left Port Louis on 30 July, steaming south, then west around the tip of Madagascar, and north through the Mozambique Channel. On 5 August, we entered Mombasa, Kenya. During our four day visit, we pursued sightseeing, shopping, swimming, and safaris. Crew members donated blood to the Catherine Bibby Memorial Hospital. 19 men from JOUETT and RATHBURNE painted at the NGUMBA YA W AZEE Nursing Home. Departing from Mombasa on 10 August, we proceeded to the Gulf of Oman. Operations there included exercises with the Omani Navy. And the Russians came out to look us over. The weather in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea was incredibly hot. We survived, however, and eventually headed back towards Singapore. Three and one-half weeks elapsed inroutc from Mombasa to Singa- pore. During th.it time, we emphasized recreation as well as our normal military exercises. These activities included Bingo, Smokers, Fantail ( ookouts, a Fishing Derby, and a No Talent Talent Show. On 3 September, we berthed in Sembawang Port, Singapore.
