The warm and enthusiastic welcome the Sri Lanka people extended to the sailors of KIDD and DALE was reciprocated when donations of time and money were asked for a civic action project. The man hours and thousands of dollars given to St. Joseph ' s Orphanage went a l ong way toward improving the living conditions of hundreds of young girls. The highlight of the effort was a visit by the orphans to the ship where they sampled American food and received the VIP tour they deserved. Trincomalee will also be remembered for the fine beach hotels, the bargains in silk and tea. The work and donations for the orphanage really provided the most satisfaction for those who par- ticipated. FT(iC Anderson paid a visit to Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001 and Imperial Earth .

Throughout the cruise they treated the crew with baked bread, pies and cakes. To spice up an otherwise bland routine they prepared homestyle cookouts on the fantail. The main course usually consited of steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans and potato salad. On holidays, they took extra time and patience to prepare the excellent meals which made the holidays spent away from family and friends just a little more bearable. Their time and effort was greatly appreciated. Storekeepers and Ship ' s Servicemen are responsible for seeing that the large amount of supplies needed to operate and maintain a Naval Fighting Machine are on board when needed. They keep tract of electronic components, machine parts, tools, paper and all other materials and equipment necessary to sustain our miss on. The Ship ' s Servicemen run our barber shop, ship ' s store and the laundry. They did a fine job of keeping everyone squared away with good haircuts and clean clothes. The store stayed stocked with a few of the things that made the cruise a little more bearable. Well done!
