NAVIGATION DEPARTMENT SUBIC BAY, R.P.I. DECEMBER TWO is the second of MARS' Seven plus One. The team began to jell. The crew knew what was expected of it and had learned its strengths and weaknesses. With the break-in period over, everyone was ready to give it all they had. Our second port visit, Subic Bay, Philippines, was a re-acquaintance for most of the crew and a new ex- perience for others. As the MARS' major re-supply station, Subic was to be c ome an island of frequent visits and an oasis for the crew to let go and recall the rough times. Dawn of the second day's replenishment usually found the MARS in the midst of her rendezvous with a panoply of lean Destroyers on station near the DMZ.
