Those who kept he vigil ere quiet and pensive, as the big hip slowly rose and fell at her moorings, memotionally, with the gentle tides. . .0900, 13 NOVEMBER 1962. . . The time arri ed, as everyone knew it iould. .Some of us were busy getting the ship underway — loosing her mooring lines, running her engines, setting up communications. The others stood at quarters watching the crowd grow smaller as e left our home port behind. It was not a happy crowd. We weren ' t the happiest group at quarters either, but there was a lot of anticipation. The months ahead held many things for us, far from Long Beach, and different from California or Nebraska or Georgia. Yes, there was a lot to look for vard to, but not all hands were excited . . .
