Vw , ROBISON's first port visit on her South 4 Q Pacific adventure was Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was .5 a short stay, only two days, but an important one. Pearl offered a last chance to take on supplies and equipment that might not be available over the next three months. Much of the crews time was spent with working details and final systems checks. However, there was time for most to glimpse some of the spectacular sights of our 50th state. ROBISON left Pearl Harbor on july 22 and headed south. Ahead lie seven days at sea, the traditional initiation of shellbacks and the island of Tahiti. Q Y,ov4,,d ,f!.,,5x,4' ,, uf 'f4,:1'f -ff, J., fi. - -.fi iff- 7' ay, ,- iff 1,1 ff ayfjifj if ' I .

USS HOR E CG 30 The USS HORNE accompanied ROBISON on her South Pacific Cruise. The two ships logged a combined total of almost 40,000 miles and visited 18 different ports between them. Although Tahiti and Fiji were the only ports both ships visited together, there was ample opportunity for at sea training and evolutions between them throughout the cruise. With the support of the HORNE, ROBISON crewmen were able to sharpen their skills in areas such as underway replenishments, maneuvering and gunfire exercises and other essential at sea operations.

As the ship neared the equator careful preparations were made for the time honored line Crossing Ceremonies. A queen was Chosen from the fairest maidens onboard as seasoned sailors made ready to initiate slimy polywogs into the Mysteries of the Ancient Grder of Shellbacks. On the eve of the Crossing Davy jones, special emissary to the King of the Deep paid ROBISON a visit. Satisfied that all summons and subpoenas listing the Wogs Charges had been issued he signaled the start of ceremonies. As ROBISON crossed latitude 00000 King Neptune himself was on hand to preside over the boisterous festivities. 8' 151 -wh P ' ' t 3459 ' 1 if ., H Q, - T 'Jie KV? A s J jar? in I 5 Eu-
