S. S. PICTOR IAF-541 cfo FLEET POST OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO. CALIFORNIA This Cruise Book is dedicated to the officers and men of U.S.S. PICTOR who made the June-November 1967 deployment to the Western Pacific and served in the U.S. Seventh Fleet, the Ready and Flexible Re- sponse Power for Peace Fleet. ' The purpose and the mission for which this fine ship was built and-employed bespeaks of outstanding achievements in the Combat Zone. During this deployment PICTOR broke every single record in the annals of her history by replenishing more ships of the fleet and transferring more tonnage than had ever before been achieved. While attaining these new heights, the men of PICTOR had the additional satisfaction of knowing that new records of service in terms of satisfied Hcustomersn had been attained in carrying out the mission of Service to the Fleet through Mobile Support. It is a small tribute to say Well Done to the crew of U.S.S. PICTOR from the Commanding Officer. However, the exemplary and efficient manner in which all re- plenishment evolutions and operations were carried out in the forward area during this deployment earned for U.S.S.'PICTOR and her crew the reputation of Finest AF in the Pacific Fleet. The many messages and letters praising the ship and her crew have created a well deserved image that will be carried forth by the ship and her crew until the day that higher authority feels that this fine lady needs a rest. Each and every one of you and your families can be justly proud of having served our beloved country and the U.S. Navy in the honorable and dedicated manner which has been a tradition in our Navy since its founding. Let no one say that the roles you played in the enormous and vital tasks in today's Combat Area were any less than those of the soldier on the battle field, or the pilot in his airplane heading for an enemy target loaded with lethal weapons. For without the Service Ship Navy, of which we have been a part, there could be no successful prosecution of our nation's commitments in the fight for freedom in the world. We are all part of the finest and most inter-dependent military team in history and each man's role is equally essential. To the families and loved ones who have made so many sacrifices and have been so understanding goes a lion's share of the credit. Without their moral support, their patience and understanding, their frequent letters, and, most of all, their love, the task at hand would have been most difficult. . A Excellence was pursued and excellence was achieved through the combined efforts and hard work of the entire crew working together as a team. Because of this teamwork we can truly say - MISSION ACCOM- PLISHED! May continued success prevail for PICTOR and her crew in whatever endeavor is undertaken in the years ahead.

The largest of these tasks is the accounting and issue of all the ship's food and cargo to the other ships of the fleet. In addition they have the job of operating the ship's store and ship's laun- dry, as well as the messing and disbursing duties. Storekeepers are divided into two groups. The first is in charge of the cargo issued to the fleet and the spaces in which it is stored. The second group is responsible for the supplies issued by our own ship in its everyday operations. Stewards and Commissarymen are involved with the' preparation of meals. Disbursing Clerks are responsible for the monumental task of pre- paring the pay records, paying the crew twice a month, registering allotments, processing travel claims, and many other money matters. Operation of the ship's store, ship's laundry and barber shop is consigned to those men working in the rate of Ship's Servicemen. M E 1 l Q l fl i. ll: li l 1 1, l l y, ll 1 ll l 1 I.

THE JCB An unrep fdefined in the Navy's dictionary of abbreviations as underway replenishment? is the act of supplying ships of the fleet, at sea, with the necessary items to maintain their on the line status. V Items unrepped to ships include everything from salt and sugar to bearings and engines. PICTOR's job deals with the salt and sugar side, commissary items. The role we play in the Navy's supply system is very rewarding to us, the crew of the PICTOR. It is our job to transfer the dry goods, canned goods, and other assorted fresh and frozen items we handle to our fellow ship mates on vessels at sea. There is nothing more gratifying to oneself than to know that some sailor on that destroyer that pulled along side will be eating fresh oranges, apples, and eggs tomorrow ,morning at breakfast that he didnft have last week, all through your own efforts. PICTOR is one of the more elderly vessels in the Pacific Service Fleet and we're not granted with many of the automations that the later, more modern ships have. However, that fact will never hinder our determin- ation. We have full knowledge of our job and work at it diligently. No matter how long and tedious the hours are 'the accomplishment we feel after our effort outweighs all. We, the crew of the PICTOR, are proud of our vessel and the fact that such heavy responsibility is be- stowed upon us. We shall always perform to our utmost to achieve the means...feeding our fellow servicemen. f Ziff iff QL..

The sound of the recruiters words ke t rin in ' our ears as we remembered him telling us about the adventures that he had as a sea-going sailor. At last wie wogldieg the world that we, until now, had only heard about. The old Salts were telling stories of Oriental wonders. The new members of the crew were absorbing memories destined to last a lifetime. Our first port was Yokosuka, Japan which after 17 days of sailing looked mighty good The new comers were bus dodging traffic that ran the wrong way while others were looking forward to going to the popular city of Tokyo. The bargains of the Far East gave many PICTOR sailors gift ideas for home. But the short stay in Japan was halted and we headed for our first swing. Our negct port was Subic Bay, Republic of Philippines. We were met with anger by the rain god who dispelled hopes of liberty. Three other trips were made to this country later and better insight was gained. A common sight was the multi-colored Jeepneys that, miraculously, got us from place to place. One of the best places for libert in Subic y was the EM Club where there was good food to remind us of home. The more adventurous of the crew visited the capitol city of Manila. Others were content with crawling back from the port town of Olongapo. A total of four visits was made to Subic and it became one of the most familiar ports. Of our ports least visited by tourists was Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This island off the mainland of China gave us a real look at the simple people of the Far East. There were ox-driven carts and people carrying food in baskets suspended on their shoulders. A pleasant ride could be taken in a pedicab for a small sum and provided a means for looking at the cit first hand. yThe most romantic port visited was Hong Kong. This British crown colony was our supermarket and department store. Many of us thought of how our wives and girlfriends would have enjoyed being turned loose here with a credit card. Cameras, pearls, cashmere sweaters, and suits were some of the items purchased. The sales personnel with their English accents charmed us. Victoria Peak gave us a view of the harbor many of us will never forget. The days spent in the colony of Hong Kong were some of the most enjoyable. I Our last port before arriving home was Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This was a pleasant blend of the United States and of Island charm. Waikiki beach and Honolulu were the most popular places, although many rented cars and toured the entire island of Oahu. Many a gift was purchased at the International Market Place. The sights of the Islands will never be forgotten, but if channel fever hadn't developed its first symptoms by Pearl, they were evident upon de arture. p The port that every sailor looked forward to was the port called homeport. The Golden Gate Bridge and finally Alameda were the best sights. Our recruiter hadn't let us down. JAPAN 'F 4 W Y f 1 , lx . , 1 I, l, 1 w f il V.
