5 ' .- meg ' 3 Y I 1 fl The communist threat in Southeast Asia was still prevalent on November 4, 1967. For the Seventh time RANGER prepared to answer the call, to protect the demo- cratic way of free men. RANGER, fresh from an 'extensive eight month overhaul in Bremerton, Wash- ington, was ready. Her new equipment and the electronically sophisticated Carrier Air Wing Two bristled at the opportunity to become combat proven. Farewells were said to our loved ones. The sacrifice of separation from home and country had begun for us. The unmeasurable sacrifice and support of our families and wives had also begun.

'3.g'AZ ?ff 21 'H' J-if 'K 102 THE Y RD In early October of 1966, the more acute natives of Bremerton, Wiashing- ton, sensed a new and disturbing in- truder in their midst. Occupying Dry- dock jj 6, the haze grey bulk of the USS Ranger stoically awaited internal sur- gery at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard bordering the town. Soon recovering from their awe, the 40,000 citizens of Bremerton,found themselves hard put to supply suflicient amusement for three thousand stalwart Rangermen who had just sufferred the privations of a Viet- nam cruise. Several local establish- ments tried manfully, nonetheless, and names like the Rendezvous, the Crows Nest, and the Roxy Theatre will live in Ranger hearts forever. Yet, despite their efforts, and the painful fact that many sailors were under twenty-one, most of the crew were driven either across the Sound to populous Seattle or to sitting near their windows, counting raindrops. Life aboard the ship, meanwhile, was less than idyllic. Yard workers, arrayed in highly original workclothes, scuttled around like ants over a cupcake, shut- ting off pipes leading to showers and clogging the, passageways with torn masses of wire or hose. The yardbirds themselves were often quite friendly, although they occasionally disappeared in mid-conversation when gilt is now whistle timew sounded over the TMC. Things were just a little bit grittier than usualmprobably from all that drilling and paint scrapping. You could get used to that. tl1ough...it was the clink of the chipping hammers. the whining of the sandblasters. and the chirring of the deck crawlers that really snarled nervous systems. D As the months drizzled by. however. a slight but notieible anticipation grew around the edges of peopleis minds. The Ranger was almost ready. J l g,,,4.3Q. 5:+:-. f'If V ','l .

Cool air swept through the pipes of the extended air conditioning system. New paint freshened every surface, within and without. Modernized evaporators promised clear rivers of water for every need. i On the thirtieth of May, the weather had softened to surprising sunshine. The dry dock had been left like a used cocoon in Feburary, and so the Ranger prepared to cast off from Pier 6B amid the scattered cheers of the occasional dependant who had come to witness the historical moment. ' First in 'order were the sea trials, carried on within the cozy confines of Puget Sound. After surviving a 30 degree turn at top speed, the Ranger went on for three days of muscle streaching in order open any hastily sewn seams. The anchors were tested, and, to no one's surprize, were found to be perfectly capable of anchoring the ship. Large yellow pontoons were sent hurtling a half mile into the water by the beefed up catapults. For the benifit of the radar, CVA 61 circled a radar buoy for twelve hours, creating a continuous port list. Finally leaving beloved Puget Sound, the Ranger steamed towards San Francisco. Somehow, a clearer sense of purpose had arrived on people's faces. No yardbirds, no grit, and comparative silence soothed those who had been jumpy for months. Now training and preparations could begin for the new cruise with refreshed energy. Few sights could have been as symbolically significant of the difference between San Francisco and Bremerton as the magnificent span of the Golden Gate Bridge. 0n hand to greet the ship was even less of a roaring crowd than had seen it off. A few lonely wives had flown down, and, of course, there was a laundry truck. Spirts were still high because...right there...gleaming across the Bay like the promised Land...was the New York of the West, the Jewel of California, the City of Saint F rancis...and further west, beyond that...was the intriguing future.

Donnelly, Jr., assumed command of RANGER Octo- ber 20, 1967, reporting aboard from duty as the Executive Assistant and Senior Aide to the Vice Chief of naval Opera- tions. CAPT Donnelly was born in Dayton, Ohio, April 22, 1921. He attended Miami of Ohio for one year prior to entering the U. S. Naval Academy July 1, 1940. After a tour of duty in Eu- rope, he returned to the United States for flight training and was designated a naval Aviator in 1945. CAPT Donnelly has graduated from a variety of naval schools including the Weaponeers Course at Sandia Base, New Mexico, Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland, and the Command and Staff and Naval Warefare Courses at the naval War College. Prior to taking command of RANGER Captain Donnelly's assignments in- cluded a tour as Commanding officer of Fighter Squadron 141, Executive Oflicer of USS KITTY HAWK, Commanding Oflicer of USS WINSTON fAKA-941 and a member of the Secretary of the Navy's Talk Force on Personnel Retention. THE EXEC T I E OEEICER aGet a hat sailor! Perhaps this Will be the fondest memory many RANGER- MAN will retain from the 1967-68 WESTPAC Cruise. As Executive Officer of RANGER Commander John H. McConnell, Jr. is responsible for the ship's affairs and laws. This is a broad statement and must be taken in its broadest sense to fully grasp the total scope of the XO's function. The X0 probably has the closest con- tact with the crew than any senior officer on the ship. Frequent appearances on KRAN TV as moderator, interviewer and as a subject for questions himself, have given everyone the opportunity for a direct line to RANGER,s second in command. Morale is the obligation of everyone living in close conditions such as are found on RANGER, however, besides the captain, the one person on whom the burden falls is the '4Exec . At times the burden weighs heavy, when his duties as ship's disciplinarian seem to conflict with those of morale booster. However, with his subtle humor and articulate manner, CDR McConnell has lifted the Veil of 4'Scro- oge , which might otherwise accompany some of the more ucontroversialn ex- ecutive directives. . As executor of the Captain's ideas and directives, Commander lVIcConnell's role has not been one of a subordinate, but rather. an amplification of the command.

THE MEN OF NAVIGATION For centuries sailors have plotted their course by using the stars and other celestial bodies. Well they're still at it only now it is a computer and a satillite instead of the north star and a sextant. RANGERS Navigator, CDB Harold F. Griffith, and the men of hisdepartmem perform what might be termed the most familiar and most important roles on any vessel. With pinpoint accuracy they are able to plot exactly RANGERE course to Subic Bay, Hong Kong and other areas vital to the enlightenment and education of all RANGEBMEN. Plotting course and determining position is theprincipaljob of the Navigator and his quartermasters. They are also responsible for main- taing the Quartermaster's Notebook, an exact record of all that takes place aboard ship. In today,s modern Navy the sextant and dead reckoning have been replaced by the sophistication of computers and satellite guidance systems. Utilizing these systems has completely changed the concept of ship,s navigation, however the quartermasters still retain a working knowledge of traditional navigational equipment in the event that someone should blow a fuse.

I -: an i A Captain C.D. Williams, Ofhcer-in-Charge of the Marine Detachment, pins the twin silver Captain's bars on Captain E. Kenny, Second in Command, RANGER Marine Detachment. THE MART E DET CHMENT The RANGER Marine Detachment is the epitome of the Hspit and polishi' excellence, which marks the Corp. Under the Command of CAPT C.D. Williams, USMC and CAPT E. Kenny, USMC, the Detachment's role is one especially suited to a Marine's training. The primary function is training and supplimenting the ship's landing force. They are also used as sharp-shooters for clearing mine fields. Other duties assigned the leathernecks include orderly duty for the Commanding Officer and Executive Oflicer, weapons security and taking care of the boys in the brig. As shipboard life is not conducive to combat conditioning, the happy sounds of RANGERE Mbunniesw are often heard throughout the ship as they take part in their physical conditioning program. The usual rivalry between marine and sailor exists as is shown by the intensity displayed when they do 'gbattlea' through the intramural sports program. However, when it comes to performance of duties competition ceases and teamwork prevails. From honor guards to maintenance of shipis security, the marines are an integral part of RANGERE operation. 1 if L s FEV -tg. IAQ? - .xii 1 1 gaps . xi?

CR DIVISION Ticker tape parades may be quite the thing in New York city, but to the boys down at Main Comm its just another trip to the incinerator. The responsibilities of Commu.. nications Radio Division is merely that of sending, receiving and routing the hundreds of messages that pass to and from RANGER daily. These communications with shore establishments as well as other vessels are vital to the ship's operation. One of the principle modes of communication is the teletype, which receives copy from shore establishments. The radiomen of CR Division are responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of the teletype equipment as well as the Voice Networks, Cross-tell and Primary Tactical. In addition to the basic sending and receiving of message traffic, CR has to see that it is properly distributed through- out the ship. This calls for an intimate knowledge of the work- ings and operations of the complex and intense thing called RANG- ER.

This is however, far from the actual situation. Visual signaling, includ- ing semaphore, flag hoist and flashing light are as necessary to Naval operations as ever. In the event of a mechanical failure or under certain combat conditions visual communications may be the only means available to RANGER. For this reason the skills of the signalman must be ever ready for rapid and accurate use.

As the bus tears along at unblievable speeds you loolfs out of your window and see the rural Phillipines fly by. Y The yields are filled with rows of rice plants...the small boy sits on his ox looks up hoping you will throw a peso his way. The towns are little clusters of bleached wood houses on frail stilts. When a strong wind comes they slightly sway like cattails on a bog. Rural Philippines, a million miles away from the cram smashed city of Olongapo, and another world which a qi young American sees for the lhrst time. X.. ,f wr -m , fx f - -.

Wind mounts over the deck as the great grey altar ofthe Ranger turns into its fox corpen, preparing for the ceremony. Attendants position the plane on the catapault, bridles are attached and they tense on the hook. Ears are mujled and eyes are shielded, for, when the god speaks, mortal senses are too frail. As afnal gesture of homage, the officer points to the ship's bow, live steam surges into the cats...a sacred, mysterious force... In thunder and fire, the resurrected war-god-rages to the slcy,'powerful,-furious ...for afractional second eyes cannot leave the sight of him and his magnificent anger ...but then they turn...for the next demon must be readied... 3:13 ,W ls? 3 F 1 av ' 5.

From some limitless bin in the awe- some hollows ofthe ship, they feel, comes a per- petual supply of those three constants. . .ammuni- tion, stores and fuel. The boatswain mates know better, however. It is they who are responsible for the rigs which transfer everything-black oil to blackshoe polish -from the supplying ship to the Ranger while the two vessels steam parallel. Were it not for sea refueling and replenishment, even a ship the size ofa carrier would be a slave to logistics and seriously hampered in its strategic role. In other words, it would spend a lot more time in port. Damn boatswain mates. The work of replenishment itself, assuming the weather does complicate things, is always always long, hard, and dangerous. The order to Hhlan stations goes at anytime during the day or night while on the lineg usually, four or five hours pass before the lines can finally be unrigged. During these operations, thousand pound net loads or the swaying bulk of a fuel hose must often be grappled into place, and the bosun mates in their blue helmets and orange jackets approach such tasks with all the cautious energy of prehistoric men subduing mammoths. Relief is evident in every face as the hectic strains ofthe Lone Ranger Overture bid farewell to the departing ship. Now, however, equip- ment must be stowed, lines coiled, and wire re- wound for tomorrowls unrep. is Ufmfx 4 I X THE BRIDGE TEAM ACT I, scene II lThe curtain opens on the navigation bridge of a large aircraft carrier somewhere in the Pacqic nightb A figure slowly feels his way across the dark stage, stubs his nose on the alilade, and curses softly.

More specificly, they handle the operation and maintenance of Rangefs four steam catapults and four arresting gear engines. It's the men of V-2 who make the last minute 'gadjustmentsw prior to launches and who ensure planes are free of the arresting cable when aircraft are recovered. The jet blast defectors are operated, as well as maintained, by this division. One of the most important aspects of aircraft arrested landings, the fresnel lens landing system, also falls under the jurisdiction of V-2 Division. In any weather, day or night, this sophisticated electronic system is literally the pilots' guiding light to carrier landings. Airmen awaits signal from the plane captain to drop the chock that will keep this aircraft from rolling off its spot on the flight deck. ,QM fl, 9 I if I A 54 if gy, .Z W fstandmgj LDCR Kenneth E Gamer LT Charles C S11V8 LCDR John B Hulme and LCDR John W Sealey fkeenl1ngjABEC H E Plchon ABEC W H Hardy ABFC C Grant and ABEC J R Brown An F4 Phantom sprlnge from one of Ranger s forward catapults lf' Q h n 4 , -- - .o '1 . f .

On Ranger that someone is V-4 Division, sometimes called the Aviation Fuels Division. Not only is their work necessary and instrumental to a carrier,s mission, it is also one of the most dangerous jobs on the ship due to the highly volatile nature of the gasolines. In filling the aircraft, it is extremely important that the proper fuel load be used, for the catapult must be properly set to account for the weight of the fuel. The fuel systems include storage tanks for 1.6 million gallons of jet fuel, 24-6 thousand gallons of gasoline, 11.8 thousand gallons of lube oil and 3.8 thousand gallons of cleaning solvent.

Of course, this isn't all. Stacks of facts and photos would be useless by themselves, it is the part they play in the planning, scheduling, and co-ordination of air strikes or ship tactics which make them valuable...and the creation of such plans, schedules, and co-ordination is what give Operations its name.

I Q RANGERS CHRISTMAS For some it was old hat, but for other the Christmas of 1967 was their first away from home, but for all it was a time of sadness and Joy. ' ' l f Loved ones were missed. Snow was missed. The hustle bust e o christmas at home was missed. Yet Ranger's Christmas in the Gulf of Tonkin was surprisingly a good time for all. Many Christmas trees were raised and decorated with everthing from electrical parts to bomb packing. The Navy and other services arranged for relatives to meet and talk for awhile. But if you ask Rangermen what they remember most they will say HBob Hope ADJ3 stands proudly beside the after jet shop's Christmas tree. if .f . 3'aS1..rii-'fwlr ' x f,lXzFaa- 113-2 Y I Rini' X-,, or 'N-f'7 ' 'W'- xf f -.4 fg '-'94 .

VF-154 The Black Knights of Fighter Squadron 154 have been given the nickname of Wfhe VI'orld's Best .let Squadron for a good reason. Since the squadron was commissioned in I9-13. the men have participated in every major conflict that the United States was involved in. During the Set-ond World War, they distinguished themselves in sut-h battles as Palau. Leyte, Saipan, Wake Island and the famous battle of the Philippine Sea. For their action during the erueial vear I9-I-I, the squadron was awarded the Presidential Init Ilitation. Today VF-154 flies the versatile supersonit- lflli Phantom. The Black Knights, who have vomple-ted three eonibat tours in Vietnamese waters, provide fighter protf-4-tion for the -lovver more vulnerable attar-I-1 aircraft, and tht-v also double ds bombers. Commander Williani li. llaff is the squadron commanding oflieer.

SS PUEBLU STOLEN WASHINGTON QUPIQ-The USS Pueblo, a Navy telligence collection ship, was surrounded by North orean patrol boats, backed up by MIG jets, and board- by an armed party in international waters in the Sea Japan Monday night. When boarded, the Pueblo was approximately 25 iles from the mainland of North Korea. According to an official Department of Defense mmunique, the ship's compliment consists of 83 men, cluding six officers and two civilians. 'LAt approximately 10 p.m. the Pueblo was ap- roached by the North Korean boat. Using inter- .ational signals it requestion the Pueblois nationality. The Pueblo identified itself as a U.S. ship. Continuing to use flag signals, the patrol boat said. Heave to or I will open firef NThe Pueblo replied, 'I am in international watersf g'The patrol boat began to circle the Pueblo. About .n hour later the boat was joined by three other patrol Taft. 4'One of them ordered, 5Follow immediately in my I have a pilot aboardf according to the Secretary of State Rusk commented on the seizure a speech to the Senate Youth Forum, a group of school seniors visiting Washingtort. He said to secure release of both ship and men was USS pueblo RUWAN COLLIDES WITH VISLUBUKUV VVASHINCTON QUPIJ -The Defense Depart- ment disclosed Friday that a U.S. destroyer and a Soviet freighter collided in the Sea of Japan-the fourth such incident in 19 months in the same waters where the USS Pueblo was seized by North Korea. U.S. officials claimed the earlier eollisions were de- liberate harassment by the Soviets, but Navy officers indicated the latest inci- dent appeared to be an ac- cident. But the Soviet Union did not share that view and delivered a pro- test to the U.S. embassy in Moscow. There were no casualties and only minor damage when the two ships brushed in the Sea of Japan early Wlednesday, the Defense Department said. Involved were the USS Rowan and the merchant ship Vislobokov. The Rowan reported a three foot hole was torn in its hull above the water- line. In response to queries from the U.S. ship, the Vislobokov signalled there was udamage to my stern two meters fabout two yardsl in lengthl' but added no assistance required. The protest from the Soviet Foreign Ministry was delivered Thursday night to the U.S. embassy in Mos- cow and forwarded to the State Department, a spokes L man said. 0F JAPAN ABOARD THE USS RANGER-At 14-4-5 January 27, the boatswain's mate on watch piped attention for a message from the Captain. But the announcement that fol- lowed was far from Captain William E. Don- nelly'S frequent well dones or bringing you up to date comments. This time, Ame- rican History was in the making and Ranger was to become an all-important part of it. This is the Captain speaking. After our next recovery, flight ops will be seeured for the day. And shortly thereafter, Admiral We-inel and his staff will be transported to the USS Tieonderoga. We're going to utilize all available helicopters in the area in hopes to eomplete the move in about two hours time. after which we will leave Yankee Station and proceed to the Sea of Japan to join with the lfinterprise oil' the Korean CUZISI. That was the beginning. Mixed emotions and speculation simultaneously struck the erew. Wt-'re gonna lose our combat pay. one sailor said.

XM-'ll need more stamps. thought a postal clerk as he considered the loss of fri-ei' mailing privileges. lt'll be eold up there. surmised an airdale. I better dig up some long johns. llowexer. no one figured the lfnterprise would give Ranger lit-ar Admiral llor- aee ll. lfpes and Carrier lilixision Une, pull out of the Sea of Japan and head for Yankee Stationwat least no one figured it would happen as fast as it did. The trip from the Tonkin Gulf to Korean waters took about 4 days. Adjusting to the change in climate took a little longer. L'Our personal habits had to change a good dealf' Commander George E.R. Kinnear, Commander Attack Carrier Air Wing Two, told newsmen at a Ranger press conference. HPilots wear emersion suits in these cold waters, to increase the probability of staying alive long enough to be picked up...should they go down. Frost- bite and exposure on the flight deck cause problems...but the fine young sailors made the adjustment well. Something else no one figured on was spending over 60 days at sea without liberty. But it happened. Ranger had pulled out of Subic Bay, P.I., January 5 and was scheduled to return there February 7 for 6 days. The inport period in Subic was to be immediately followed by a trip to Hong Kong and a week of liberty in that world capitol. Both port calls were automatically cancelled. But suspence and adventure coupled with the importance of their new Captain W'illiam F.. Donnelly, Jr. mission, filled the momentary gap in morale caused by the loss of coveted liberty. '6After 60 days at sea, you almost forget what it's like- liberty that is,,, said one Ranger sailor. Your daily routine is carved so well that it's hard to tell one day from the next. But you're used to it. Itis the way of life for sea-going sailors. Most of the time youive got so much to keep you busy you don't have time to worry about what you havenlt got. t 93954 lgviilvkfm L6 97 A cold weather face mask allows this airdale to button his lip in order to keep his words from freezing. Yeah...See. I lost a left-handed glove. '4Are those white-caps or chunks of ice?,' it The pace of flight deck activity is always fast-the cold makes you appreciate that. ITS COLD UP HERE Orders to the Sea of Japan brought with them orders to break out the foul-weather gear. Insulated pants and jackets, long-johns,'l gloves and face masks became standard apparel for the flight deck crew. Daily temperatures were in the 20's and 3095, as compared to the 80's and 90's of the Tonkin Gulf. Hot chocolate, a rarity in the Gulf, became available on the mess decks around-the- clock. Doors and hatches leading to the outside-open constantly in the Gulf-remained closed, except when in use. Although tem- peratures in the 30's may not sound too cold, with 30 to 4-0 knots of wind blowing across the deck, it's nothing to sneeze at. 4 5 s X A i . 1 .1 X . , , L 2.

However, they do something, we think, because they attend lon eriods of school 5 P - Maintenance and inspection of equipement and facilities is frequent and exacting due to the high standards required. W Division 1S its own repair party, requiring frequent training in firefighting and damage control within assi ned s aces S P - In addition to their primary mission, W Division handles many tons of conventional aviation ordnance in support of strike missions. To accom- plish this the men of W-Division join the ranks of all others on Ranger and work around the clock in support of the' air wing. People use to ask what they do but don't ask any more just look at a loaded A6A and you will know. fLeft to rightj Front row-CMTC RJ. Dougan, GMSN J.W. Gaither, GMTSN C.A. Mclsaac, SN A.C.

' Xf CDR Ackerman Qleftj turns over the keys to the Engineering Department to his relief, CDR Harper. ENGINEERING Ranger's Engineering Department provides those services necessary for her to carry out her assigned man-o-war tasks and to maintain a self-contained air base. The Engineering Department's primary function is to propel the ship at speeds needed for the succesful operation of today's fast jet aircraft. In order to meet this requirement, l200 PSI super-heated steam, generated by eight Babcock and Wilcox boilers, provides the energy to rotate four steam turbines capable of producing 280,000 ahead shaft horsepower. Each of the four shafts turns a propeller measuring more than 21 feet in diameter, equivalent to the height of a two-story house. A speed in excess of 30 knots can easily be attained at full power. In addition to the steam requirements to turn the turbines, the Engineering Department is responsible for supplying steam to operate Ranger's four steam catapults. The Engineering Department also has the responsibility to furnish the necessary services required by a community of 5,000 people.

They look after the steam catapult system and the steam and hot water equipment ih the sculleries, the laundry and all of the heads. They maintain all ofthe air-conditioning and refrigeration units on the ship. Air compressors and associated systems fall under their watchful eyes. They are responsible for the emergency electrical generator diesel engines and the engines in all ship's boats. They fabricate various metal parts and fittings.

One of the divisiorfs major duties is the responsibility for i efficient underway refueling from AO,s and the transferring of f fuel to our destroyer escorts. The BR,s and BT,s in the boiler repair gang assure the endless preventive maintenance and repair of all boilers and associated machinery. i .h Front row Qkneeling left to rightl-FN WCS. Dobbs FN McD.

Wood is the M Division Officer and he is assisted by CWO Douglas Sprey. Each of Rangerls engines consists of a high pressure and low pressure turbine coupled to a reduction gear. This gear, similar to an auto- mobile transmission, reduces the high speed of the turbine to the lower speed of the propeller. Another contribution by M Division to the 5,000 men of Ranger city, is fresh water. The ship's seven evaporators are capable of produc- ing 390,000 gallons of fresh water per day, for use by the crew, the fboilers, the catapults and other devices unable to utilize salt water. t ' LT Wvood shows 1.02 Sprey how it's done by the book. ,-1-'J i F' X W' A ' an wx v. ,,.

HOW MANY DAYS HAS IT BEEN? You have to put up with a lot of things on a carrier, especially when you spend over two months straight at sea. But sailors have a unique way of coping with their environment. Sometimes they ignore it flike the fellow at leftj. But most of the time they accept it and comply with its demands Qlike daily shavingj. Sometimes it requires improvising flike using bombs for chairsj. And other times it is put aside for something else flike a hobbyj. Sometimes they transport their environment home via letters. And other times they look at it and read about it in The Shield. But always they are coping with it and making the best of its indigenous hardships.

Weinel and his staH' embaried aboard Ranger in Novem- ber 1967 as the carrier arrived in the Tonkin Gulf for her third tour of combat duty oH' the Vietnam coast. Ranger was originally scheduled to be the flagship for the Admiral for the entire WestPac cruise. But with the Pueblo incident and orders for Ranger to proceed to the Sea ofjapan, Admiral Weinel's embarkation was cut short. He and his staff were quickly transferred to the USS Ticonderoga to setup headquarters for continuing control of Tonkin Gulf naval operations. The Tico was no unfamiliar to the 1935 Naval Academy graduate, for he was once that carrier's commanding otlicer. Al- though the tall, soft-spoken admiral was aboard less than three months, Ranger's otlicers and men will long remember Com- mander Carrier Division Three. 1-Fi H-5 W ,. ..a. , -EL 'a' ni? .- t If J D if ' HV ' .. if 'Jil' tu tl' I uf 'fi' ua ' ' U' 0, V ,ai s,,, ,vi :in QV Cn, X 1, yt, ,Q in ox, K , ,uh w-n I - f 'ui f' - ' a ., w , ' -we , V v- , Q X 5 1 in A gg o 612, uni, A 'ug' tm, Walt 'J 5 gy ' 'X t la ri. ,,, aff F 'W 311 . - ' ' Row 2 L - APT ow 111, RADM Wemel, CAPT Cooke, CDR Lewis, CDR Tesqh, , I Row 1 QL to RJ CDR Snglghi ,li1g:flr3o1EC?JR Reitingier, LTJG Cutler, LTJG Iwamoto, ENS Lorah, LCDR Vlccellxo, Row to RJ LICDRR'I5hIggn5lg,d ki ENSQ-Iohns, CDR Hpeer LT Thoman, LT Franks, LCDR Cuddy, LCDR Irby, CDR Mohr.

Every trip to the beach was a time of great decision. What to do? What to see? Jade had to be bought, clothes had to be jitted. Every square inch of the island had to be explored, not a sight was to be missed, not a bar left unvisited. For the first time young Americans saw the Orient at its best and its worst. The beautiful buildings of the ci.y con- trasted with the thousands of matchbox houses that covered the hillsides. The rich Hong Kong businessman passed by the beggar refuge without a second glance. It was an amazing place, Hong Kong, yes it was. KOWLOON The Red sun sinks behind the mountians into China.

'i....LL CON US BOUND According to the port butter cutter Ranger had been extended until March 1969. Despite the speed at which this rumor was spread land the untimely demise of the port butter cutterj there were many who clutched an unshak- able hope that the Ranger would indeed return to the states within the year. And so it came to pass. Prepe- rations were begun to leave West Pac. One day the bow pointed East and stayed that way. As much as we yearned for CONUS, leaving the Western Paci- fic meant leaving behind so much that had become a vital part of our lives. The helpful and continious escort of Junks and industrious Russians trawlers which were thoughtfully supplied just to keep us company. Whatever else we were never lonely. The exquisite though freezing sunsets and breath-taking, 'though chilly dawns in the Sea of Japan. The free mail and tax-exemption zone. And many other irreplacable sights, smells, sounds and experi- ences unique to the far east. But we turned our thoughts west to San Francisco and kept them there back across the broad Pacifc. SAN FRANCISCO Still miles and miles away, one of the radiomen began pulling in a Giant game direct from Candle- stick Park. Bflore and morefrequently, signal- men sighted jetliners on their way to International. Merchantmen, head- ed East, dipped their Flags in solemn salute. Gravity lessened. Men walked lighter, wanted almost to run at times. Sometimes their laughter grew dangerously near to giddiness. People saw colors, smelt smells, with new clarity. And, suddenly, it was very good to be...well...not just alive...but to be capable of so much anticiapation. The F allerons were inspected by by thousand consuming eyes as they slid by. Soon after, when the pilot stepped aboard, he was treated like a small but powerful god. Going in, the welcoming mists embraced and kissed the ship lightly before evaporating. There were some we suddenly knew, with sadness, who would have given anything to feel and see this again themselves . . .then. . .dead a - head...was the most beautiful bridge that ever stuck two pieces of land together. 77-.Z'5...
