Lorac Support Team ET tunes a Raydist transmitter We commenced our first major survey of the cruise at Cam Ranh Bay in mid-December. The bay is located on the coast of central Viet Nam, its calm waters surrounded for the most part by mountains and high sand dunes. For this reason this large natural harbor had remained almost undeveloped for centuries. By the time of our arrival this condition was rapidly being changed with the development of a large logistics port which had, at that time, more than 12,000 U.S, Army, U,S, Air Force, and Korean Marine forces living in tent cities on the dunes. There were more than twenty cargo ships waiting in the harbor to unload material for support of our combat troops in Viet Nam. Our job was to survey the bay and its environs to provide charts for navigation and information for further development of port facilities. We began with geodetic work and setting up the first of the several beach camps which would provide electronic fixes to pinpoint the location of each fathometer sounding. In a few days the signals were on the Tir and the soundboats were able to begin running 1nes. The MAURY briefly interrupted the early part of the survey to join in search and rescue operations for the Panamanian merchant ship IMPALA which had struck a Shoal and sunk off the nearby coast. The combined search and rescue team was success- ful in saving nearly half of the crew, found many miles south of the site of the disaster. SERRANO arrived at Cam Ranh Bay in mid-De- Cember directly from Subic and joined in oceanographic operations. By Christmas Day the SUTVQIY was well underwayg we were thankful to be able to Spend that holiday quietly in the peaceful fewlflty of the Bay. Captain Reilly presented our ChI'1Stmas present of a bell from the MAURY to a 10031 Orphanage for use in their chapel. On the day after .Christmas we got underway-destination: Cebu City, in the central Philippines. is JF,- l K , l it rr 1 M . 3 If V ,N -xx 1 W mtl, ,V M I ,i My , u A i l 1, 4' Q ' - 1 ' -.Q .'

11f'- ,ilu sv!! A f The Zoo in the ruins of old Fort San Pedro Cebu was founded in the sixteenth century by Ferdinand Magellan. the Great Navigator , and became the first Spanish capital of their Philippine colony. It is now a center of transportation. commerce and agriculture for the central and southern islands, and its port area hustles with interisland merchant and passenger traffic. Much of the city is old and Crowded, but lively and picturesque. Not many foreign tourists visit Cebug it was this off the beaten path nature that made it all the more interesting. Our arrival was just in time for the combined cele- bration of the Philippine inauguration and New Years---a time well-remembered for partying crowds and banging fireworks everywhere, and wild taxi rides through both of these with the horn blowing the entire way. During the days we visited many of the sights around Cebu---the ancient Spanish fort now used as the city zoo. the animals tended by long-haired Moros from the south. A splinter from the cross placed by Magellan before he was killed by Chief Lapu-Lapu is still on display Tour Q-1-Oups e 10 d .- ,D Xp re local copper mines, waterfalls and beach resorts and some hardy crew members went wild boar hunting.
