Prologue . . Even when we left — we knew; Knew it was to be the last cruise for MAURY. Throughout the cruise this knowledge was to bring most of us mixed feelings, mingled emo- tions, as it intruded into our thoughts and activities as various times : this would be the last time the Old Gal would do this or that, go here or there. Yes, this knowledge was to color the cruise, give an unusual tone to the entire deployment. It even helped — just a bit — as we said our goodbyes that day in April — In the pages that follow you will find your sons, husbands, brothers, friends ; how we were organized, where we ' ve been, some of the things we ' ve done in the line of duty and during off- duty hou S ' j ' ou ' II see the serious, the comic, the sad things that went into our experiences on the last Ueployment. This is not meant to be a ( mm. chronological history — just glimpses li(ihe memories in years to come. KOREAN SURVEY APRIL-NOVEMBER 1969
