STA A cruise to the Western Pacific may suggest the mysteries of the Orient to some, or the humid Philippines, colorful Hong Kong, or just a long voyage far from home. To the statistician, however, such a cruise suggests figures that tell a story. These are some of the iigures that tell the story of the 4'Rammin Sammy and her crew. The earth upon which we live is roughly 35,000 miles around. You can readily see, then, that the 50,000 nautical miles our ship steamed on the seven month cruise is no small amount. We spent 141 days actually underway at sea. The longest single stretch was for 35 days off the coast of Viet Nam. To stay at sea and on the job, we called upon the services of many auxiliary ships, replenishing underway 33 times from oilers, 3 times from ammunition ships, 3 times from refrigerator ships, seven times from dry stores ships, and 8 times from air- craft carriers. Once we even played ammunition ship ourselves, when we transferred ammo to the U.S.S. MADDOX.

The ship's insatiable boilers consumed 3,201,349 gallons of black fuel oil, 8076 of which was received while underway. Our evaporators produced 2,656,168 gallons of feed water to be turned into steam as well as 968,868 gallons of fresh water for washing, drinking, and cooking. Speaking of cooking-and eating-the crew of the MOORE ate 16,254 pounds of meat, 2,780 dozen eggs, 5264 gallons of milk, 5,254 pounds of butter, and 29,400 pounds of potatoes. We didn't always have ice cream for desert but we did manage to put away 1,078 gallons of it. We ate 5,985 pounds of oranges and apples. Our paymaster had to part with S26,7 55 for bread and coiee alone. Statistics do not tell the whole story, though. No one can put into figures the amount of pride and satisfaction we feel for having completed this successful voyage far from home. Nor can one translate into figures the meaning of a job well done.
