In 50,000 miles of Steaming during the 242 day absence from Norfolk, much was asked of the men of the RICH - they gave more. lt was a fortunate coincidence, this marriage in 1968 of a fine ship and an ex- ceptional crew, for in her twenty-two years of keeping the peace, this was RlCH's first introduction to combat. They performed with distinction. To each shipmate, as the paths of the future separate us, I wish you good oppor- tunities and extend my gratitude for a job 'Well Done' . ,. f Without people a ship is a lifeless thing, A' 1A 1. 14, ya ff A X CDR Edward C, Whelan, Jr., USN Commanding Officer Co an , west, principally in Ord and Omaha, Nebraska.

The six ship group was dispersed to three stations along the North Vietnamese coast from which they controlled aircraft and conducted pilot rescue operations. Following this arduous period at sea, RICH visited Subic once again ffiept. 7-125 and Hong Kong fSept, I4-195. After 22 years of keeping the peace around the world, RICH unsheathed her sword for the first time at 1:35 ANI on September 24th, when she opened fire on Viet Cong moving down out of the mountains, adjacent to DaNang Harbor. For ten days RICH pounded muni- tion caches, camps and weapon emplacements. SLIMEY ! A POLLYWOGS 2 :rt QVA ' ,X-, -U 1 1 r X 1 . A , i x '15 A -f ,, .

We enjoyed our stay in Singapore, In Kaohsiung, we did, toog In fact, in every port we entered There was always a lot to do. We went to Hong Kong and Kowloon, In their restaurants we did dine, A tour to Tiger Balm Garden, And that, of course, was fine. we shopped in quaint old places, We toured the countryside, We strolled the crowded city streets, In rickshaws we did ride. The people were very friendly, And they readily went out of their way To make us feel quite welcome, And to enjoy our little stay. So much to see, so much to do, So many things to buy, But if you want to get the most, Bargaining you must try. The shops were filled with souvenirs, We relieved them of their load. Right now it seems they're all on RICH- In the hangar they've been stowed. In every port to which we sailed, There were so many scenes To be snapped and kept forever By all the camera fiends. All the good ports we have been to, All the things there were to see, Will long be cherished by everyone, And live in our memory. 65 U 'INGAPORE UUAC!!! 13 LR on Ruusr: or JA ' E? ,A TIGER BALM ff' vi ,, im,, ,,, G RDE 529. 5' Q f HW -M v ' v A v ,l .zfififi . new . ., 'Y K OH IU G 6 'K-w 'nm 15-f :Q X WW' R - mx-, :ar-,--V : ?Lg,,, ,, ,A 3, 4' , V, - lu... lf 4 , newifl m,: ,4- .op f..f .2 M, . f HO GKO ...ff 70 'ikipu-.'.
