At that tropic island while the ship underwent repairs and ' ' preparatlons, the crew enjoyed the new- found -sunas warmth, and swam off the sandy shores, and all ventured into the crude dilapi- d d ate town of Olongapo for at least one look and perhaps some purchases of the island wood carvings. During the three different stops at Subic Bay some even were fortunate to vis't .,l the capital city of Manila, a few hours south. ,p-nuIS'1 girl 'hw 5' s 'f f rJf it i u -... lynn ml 'V

ti OKINA Q.. 9'bnl',w A new house in the old style The Renville made three short but interesting visits to the island of Okinawa, a possession of the United States. Theisland, a member of the Ryukyu chain, is about 20 miles long, and dominantly inhabited by the Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy. All branches of the Armed Services have extensive bases and training areas throughout the island. Therefore Okinawa stands as a keystone of our defense in the Far East, always on the alert and ready on instantaneous notice of trouble in the Western Pacific area.
