USS KISKA AE 35 WESTPAC 75 ...--M SERVICE TO THE FLEET at ' Cn April Sth, 1975 at 8:00 11. m. , the crew ofthe Kiska slipped the heavy nylon mooring lines that held her snugly to the pier at the Naval Weapons Station in Concord, California, and headed out to sea and the second WESTPAC of her Career. As she made her way down the Sacramento River, towards San Francisco Bay, her crew got a few last glimpses of familiar sights, sights that would be memories for the next six months. All too soon the Golden Gate Bridge was sinking over the horizon. Finally out to sea, the crew began to look ahead. The trip from Concord to Pearl Harbor was made without any escorts, giving the crew time to get a lot of the paperwork done that seems to be generated by deployments. Once in Hawaii, the crew set to work the first few days loading and unloading ammo at the Naval Maguine in Pearl. It wasn't long before the crew took to dry land and scattered about the Isle of 0a.hu. Here in Hawaii, the ship picked up her escorts for the long maiiess journey to Subic Bay, Philippines. An unexpected stop along the way gave the crew a chance to stretch their legs, as the ship refueled in Guam. Then after a few hours, the Kiska and her escorts sailed off for P. I. Subic Bay was, in a way, our overseas homcport while deployed. Here the ship set out for other ports such as Thailand, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and shuttled supplies and ammo to the ships operating in the South China Sea. Each new port thc crew visited, brought them closer to the people there. On liberty they saw how they lived, and at sea during exercises like SHARK HUNT XIII and SEA SIAM IV, we saw them at work. Sailing alongside our allied sailors was not only a teaching experience, but one of learning too. fn K 'V -V J. .4 ' as ..,, , ,,,,.., , -. . if V- 3 H . a ,-, u A ..- ' W .fp - I 0-up-fn: ..

Through both alongside and vertical replenishments, Kiska carried through with the force motto, Service to the Fleet. th eCO TE TS COMMANDING OFFICER .... EXECUTIVE OFFICER .....

A city of lights, this fast-paced cosmopolitan city of the orient proved to be everything we had expected and more. The seemingly endless avenues in Hong Kong were cram- med with ships full of carved ivory, thick wool carpets, and just about anything one could imagine. For those Kiska -men who looked beyond Hong Kong's bright lights and crowded streets, the new territories proved a striking contrast with its small farms and slow life- styles. To many of us, Hong Kong had it all. ,,,.,... IEE IIE!! IEEE'-'L Bill!! Sli!-'E EZIJL EIB!! mil! 13320 l '- ....,.,- 1 fi' I - Q 'X M f -v--ww, K, ' - 1 . ' i..,.s,-5 5 -1 . 3- 1' ' ,.
