FC2 Iacklett caught and cleaned this doozey in port in Alaska. Welcome to Homer, population not many. Halibut capital of the world and home to a lot of mooses. Don't get us wrong, we liked it there. The few locals, and that one guy's cousin who was visiting are really good people. Lake Champlain visited Homer from May 31 to Iune 4. We manned the rails in dress blues pulling in, then we wore our uniforms on liberty for a day. Seeing moose in town is pretty cool, and that whole 'midnight sun' thing is interesting.

RIM OF THE PACIFIC DEPLOYMENT 24 May e name 'USS Lake olain' honors the battle Sept. 11, 1814, in Lake lain's Plattsburg Bay, the war of 1812. Commandant Tho- MacDonough com- the United States comprising of the 26- Saratoga, three ships, and ten gun I-Ie was opposed by a J larger British under Commodore Downie, whose flag- as the 37-gun frigate OF LAKE CI-IAIVIPLAIN Treaty of Ghent, Which con- cluded the War of 1812. CG 57 is the third U.S. Navy ship to honor the name. The first was a cargo vessel serving in World War I. The second, the Essex-class air- craft carrier CCV 395, earned one battle star in the Korean superior tactics, Donoughdenied the advantage of his range guns, forcing the to retreat to Canada, ing any British to Lake Champlain the negotiations of 1 November War. CV 39 was also the recovery ship for CDR Alan Sheppard and Freedom 7, America's first manned space flight, in May of 1961. Our USS Lake Champlain, CG 57, was commissioned in 1988 in New York City. Our 2004 Rim of the Pacific cruise was the ship's seventh de- ployment. The first six took the ship to the Western Pa- cific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Gulf. Iminedi- ately after the terrorist at- tacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Lake Champlain responded by participating in Operation Noble Eagle, and then de- ploying to the Middle East for participation in Opera- tion Enduring Freedom. 57 IS THE 3RD U.S. NAVY SHIP TO HONOR THE 1814 BATTLE OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN.

Whether they are landing helicopters or getting us underway, these guys have a hand in the mix of everything. Deck owns most everything on the main deck and is respon- sible for the upkeep and preservation of it all. When it comes to special evolutions you guessed it, Deck is usually providing for about SOOXO of the manpower to com- plete them. lf it wasn't for Deck division, the ship would have one heck of a time doing most everything.
