DIVISION So back to sea with one day's rest, The 'CAR gang was busy from morning 'til night, i We continue to steam and to do our best. Keeping temperatures and tempers adjusted just right Pipe lines are tired, the snipes are beat, The air conditioning was working at last, From standing their guard in that blasted heat. Keeping us cool as the summer months passed. fCont'dl r . .,... , ,,,., . -.. sr.-. ,,,..,,, sf- ,. -,fe-1 v . -- ' . ,.

ENGINEERING In the good year '63, When the NOBLE put to sea. The staff and snipes of this old girl, Were proud as they could be. For on their own, without yard help, With gum and wire and sea weed kelp. Ol Stud and Meek and Black Bart too, Each lent a hand to turn our screw. And when our loved ones came to cheer, They c0uldn't get closer than the pier. On 26 March we did leave, For Hawaii our sinuous course did weave. From Pearl Harbor to Subic Bay, At 72 turns most of the way. And at that speed, oh man we shook, . No one can say how much she took. The chiefs in their quarters, the crew in their bunks, And the bricks in the fire box in great big Refers, fans and machines are all on the blink, Don't some people realize it can not be done as quick as a Wink. As BUSHIPS says, all woes will end, If days of upkeep we do spend. But what that navy group can't say, ls when the HReds will fight or play. hunks. LT R. B.
