O7,EOU'O'Z HERE seem to be two reasons for publishing a booklet on the Cruise of the U. S. S. SARATOGA 1936? In the jfrst place, Crossing the Line for the first time in a Bluejackefs career is an event of note. A proper record should be made. In the second place, if a man's correspondence or letters to the home folks represent the story of his Cruise, this booklet may well supplement your letters with pic- tures and additional information. ds the Ships of the Fleet steamed northward, quarters for muster were held on the flight deck Sunday morning, May thirty-first. At that time the Commanding Officer of the Saratoga congratulated all hands on their conduct in Panama and throughout the Cruise. This modest story of sefveral phases of the Cruise may serve to help you recall the splendid conduct for which these congratulations were offered.

Hi-.f B., QV KXIIXIX XXHl?XUl ,fl ., I xxx y ,vw I I I lil E' ,T l THE Ll.S.S. SARATOGA HIS ship is the fifth naval vessel to bear the name Saratoga. Authorized by Congress on August 29, 1916, she was intended to be a battle cruiser. lVork on her was suspended February 9th, 1922, as a result of the Limita- tion of Armament Conference, and Congress authorized her conversion into an aircraft carrier 1 July, 1922. Her keel was laid September 25, 1920. She was launched April 7, 1925, and was christened by Nlrs. Curtis D. Wilbur, wife of former Sec- retary of the Navy YVilbur. The ship was commissioned in Camden, N. J., November 16, 1927, and built by the American Brown Boveri Electric Corporation, now the New York Shipbuilding Company, of Camden, N. The ship is 888 feet long over all with a maximum beam at the flight deck of 106 feet. Her displacement is about 33,000 tons. During flight operations, the flight deck is free from all obstructions with the exception of the Hislandu on the starboard side which includes the turrets, mast, bridge, and funnel Csmoke-stackj enclosure. To make up for the preponderance of weight on the starboard side, fuel oil, gas, and water are carried on the port side, for which, when the oil, gas, and water are used in large quantities, water ballast is substituted. The flight deck will accommodate at one time a large part of the ship's complement of airplanes, and still leave sufficient room for the planes to take off and land. The remaining planes are carried by elevators below to the hangar deck. The airplanes, when on the flight deck, are secured by light lines to the counter-sunk cleats to keep them from moving around due to high winds and the rolling of the ship. The netting on the outer edge of the deck is lowered at flight operations, and is occupied by personnel during flight quarters when planes are landing and taking off. Un the starboard side just forward of the first 8-inch turret is an electrically operated crane, used in hoisting seaplanes off and on deck. Aft of this crane are two turrets of twin-mounted 8-inch long range rifles, and two similar turrets are located aft of the smoke stacks. These guns ,with the twelve A. A. guns, are capable of warding off the attack of surface craft including light cruisers, as well as enemy aircraft. -lust forward of the large elevator are the palisades which are raised when needed to break the force of the wind over the flight deck while airplanes are secured thereon. Aft of the palisades is the forward elevator. Both the forward and after elevators are constructed to come Hush with the flight deck making an unbroken flying surface of nearly 900 feet. These elevators are used principally for lowering and hoisting planes to and from the hangar. Just aft of the after elevators are the barrier wires. The barriers serve the purpose of protecting the planes which have already landed from dam- age by another plane approaching which may not make a perfect landing. The arresting gear which is located between the barriers and the stern bring the plane upon landing to a stop after a very short run on deck. The complement of planes attached to the Saratoga at present is ap- proximately 90. These are assigned to Squadrons as follows :- Bombing Squadron Two Cknown as VB Squadron ZBJ 18 planes, Fighting Squad- ron Six Cknown as VF Squadron 6Bj 18 planes, Scouting Squadrons Une and Two fknown as VS Squadrons Une and Two BJ 18 planes each, plus Torpedo and Bombing Squadron Two Cknovvn as VT Squadron ZBJ with 9 planes. The few remaining planes are for the use of the Admiral and his Staff and the Captain of the Saratoga and his Qflicers. The Saratoga is propelled by electric machinery, built to develop 180,000 horsepower, a power greater than the combined output of the six electrically driven battleships, the New Nlexico, California, Colorado, VVest Virginia, Tennessee and Nlaryland. ln other words, the Saratoga could meet the electrical needs of a city about the size of Los Angeles. ln her final speed trials, the ship developed over 200,000 horsepower, and attained a speed of nearly 40 land miles per hour, the fastest ship of her size and kind afloat. She has four 32,000 kilowatt turbine generator sets which supply the current to eight motors connected in pairs to each of the ship's four propellers. The turbines are operated by steam supplied by sixteen oil burning boilers. SEVEN ? ' ' V 5 8 4 . wwf. ' .1-Q. 4.-N 1 .. , Q ll l 1.1.31 gf ...Q .xx COKIKIANDER ROBERT P. RIOLTEN, U. S.

The radio equipment of the ship includes the latest and best facilities in that field. The main transmitter is the most powerful of any vessel in the Navy. The range of receiving sets may be indicated when it is added that the ship received the messages of the Australian flight plane Southern Cross all the way to Honolulu in l1ay, 1928. ln connection with aviation, the ship maintains an aerological labora- tory which receives and transmits weather reports from and to other vessels, as well as prepares weather maps for aircraft leaving on extended flights. ln addition to the physical efficiency of the ship, the ship's company is well looked after from the standpoint of health. The ship has an excellent general ward, dispensary, refraction room, diet kitchen, isolation ward, operating room, surgical dressing room, dental office, examining room, etc., and facilities for X-ray and laboratory work. The interior of the Saratoga is different from the space below decks in other Naval vessels. in that there are stowage spaces for airplanes, fully equipped aircraft, machine, and carpenter shops, a laboratory for testing enginesg shops for fabric work doping and paintingp and sheet metal, plumbing, and sewing shops. ln addition there are many compartments. Of these, 117 are assigned to the Supply Department, 51 are for storage of technical aviation mater- ialg 70 are assigned for ship's general stores, equipment, and provisionsg and 16 are utilized for the galley, bake shop, butcher shop, general mess issue room, and clothing issue room. The largest of these rooms, the general issue room, carries some 4,000 different items of supplies in general use throughout the ship, including aviation repair and overhaul shops. The commissary department of the ship is fully equipped to take care of the complement of 1450 enlisted men in the ship's force and the 334 additional men in the aviation squadrons. That this is no small matter may be judged by the following: In one week with the Squadron personnel off the ship, the following supplies are required: 6,000 pounds of flour, 9,400 pounds of various kinds of meat, 700 dozen eggs, 3,000 pounds tinned vegetables, 1,000 pounds tinned fruit, 6,000 pounds fresh fruit, 700 pounds coffee, 1,000 pounds butter, 2,000 pounds milk, and 3,000 pounds of sugar. The coffee is made in three 120-gallon coffee urns. The galley is equipped with nine 80-gallon steam kettles and two 60-gallon steam kettles, electric ovens, etc. There is a special compartment set aside for Crewls Reading Room, Reception Room, and Ladies' Rest Room. In the Reception Room, en- listed personnel may write, read, or meet their civilian friends and guests. Copies of some thirty different magazines may be found in the racks. Qver 2,000 volumes of both fiction and non-fiction books are ready for circula- tion. A moving picture film is shown every night on the Hangar Deck. Church is rigged and Divine Service is conducted every Sunday by the Chaplain attached to the ship. Special family days are celebrated on Christ- mas and Easter Sunday to which the Ship's Company are encouraged to invite their families and friends. Every effort is made to render the lot of the Bluejacket a happy one and to keep him in a high state of morale. All of which contributes toward unselfish and enthusiastic service. The Ship of Happy Landings, the name frequently applied to the Saratoga, is not an empty title. All hands strive to make her just that.

To some sailors it meant an opportunity to do some high pressured shopping and souvenir hunting, to a wise few it meant sight seeing, acquiring information about new faces and new things, and to still others it meant Jimmie Deanls, Kelly's Ritz, Bradyls Tipperary and a long distance View of Cocoanut Grove. If you were among the shoppers and Souvenir hunters we hope you visited the Commissary Store in Balboa and purchased linens for mother or wife. In case you bought there you were sure to get what you paid for. The small shops run by Chinese, Hindus and Panamanians along Avenida Central gave you ample opportunity to test your bargaining skill, dickering or bartering ability. But in these shops kimonas for Sweetheart were to be had in abundance, to say nothing of the silk unmen- tionables which the fair sex delights to have. NIaduro's, the French Bazar, Antonio's and New China are dependable and if you got her a bottle of perfume, pocket book or native jewelry, you will be received with open arms. Of course, there are cer- tain merchants along the avenue who never fail to profit from the well known fact that mercerized cotton or rayon when treated with beer looks much like silk. This deceiving trans- formation is accomplished by getting the beer inside the buyer. VVe know Saratoga shoppers were too clever for this. Shipls Service did very well by us. hlany men went home hearing Gifts bought only on board where they .rocured good E1 H IH . 7 . p PH goods at fair prices. Hundreds of our men found the HY equipped and ready to cater to their wants and needs. Here, and at the Community Club House they were able to swim, bowl, see moviesy write letters, enjoy American prepared food and get a Chocolate soda. The Ancon Cafeteria proved a good place to eat. Sight See-ing The HPlane Talk carried some pertinent information relative to sight seeing while on the Isthmus. lf you boarded a Bus at the NYU and deposited the small sum of fifty cents you are thinking back on some sights worthy of being remembered, ln old Panama, the haunts of Nlorgan came toimind. The stop at the Cathedral and before the Golden Altar caused you to pause in reverence. Balboa Nlonument, the Zoo with its Central American menagerie, the French Plaza, Presidentls Palace and National Theatre all contributed to give you an idea of new places and different ways of doing things. A special trip to hfladden Dam and a run out to Pedro Nliguel Locks would have provided cause to make you proud you were an American, to see such engineering skill. The Panama Railroad which crosses the Isthmus gave a chosen few an opportunity to see the intervening country, Gatun Lake, Cristobal, Colon, Coco Solo Naval Base and the Atlantic. Remember, many people pay fancy prices to visit the Canal Zone. Uncle Sam made the trip possible for you as a part of the day's work. Here's hoping you enjoyed it!

Sometimes the holders of the winning numbers are made independent. More often your number is unheard of and you are simply out tlze price of the ticket.

These customs and traditions are the soul of the Navy fesprit de corps, and ours from the seaman to the admiral. It has been said that all sailors belong to one great international broth- erhood of the sea, that they speak a common language, live a common life and expect the same death. For this reason, those who follow the sea, those who are sensible to the caprices and ever changing moods of oceansg those who know the type of men best fitted to combat the elements, find great traditions among seafarers of all nations. Such men have a pride of profession and a pride of service unequalled in any walk of life. The Naval Service particularly lends itself to passing on and perpetu- ating the heroic traditions, dignified ceremonies and venerated customs of the sea from the actions of John Paul .Tones in the Bon Homme Richard and Lawrence's dying words in the Chesapeake to Crossing the Linef' ln this, our heritage, let us carry on. The Urigin of the Tradition Lieutenant Commander Lovette in his book on Naval Traditions, Customs and Usage has this to say about the origin of the famous Cross- ing the Line celebration: HThe boisterous ceremonies of 'Crossing the Line' are of such ancient vintage that their derivation is lost. lt is well known that ceremonies took place long ago when the ship crossed the thirtieth parallel, and also when going through the Straits of Gibraltar. These early ceremonies were of the roughest sort and were, to a great extent, supposed to try the crew to determine whether or not the novices on their first cruise could endure the hardships of a life at sea. Then, as is the custom at the p1'esent time, it was primarily a crew's 'partyf The Vikings were reported at an early date to carry out these ceremonies on crossing certain parallels. lt is highly probable that the present day ceremony was passed on to the Angles, Saxons, and Normans from the Vikings. At an early date. ceremonies of propitiation were carried on. Neptune, the mythological god of the seas, was appeased by the seamen, and marks of respect were paid those of his underwater domain. It is plausible that THE LINE a part of the ceremony grew out of traditions of other days, even though men had come to doubt the existence of Neptune. Nevertheless, Neptune Rex is today the majesty who rules in the ceremonies. Crossing King Neptune's Boundary The 19th of lVIay, the United States Fleet slid steadily southward into the sullen waters of King Neptune's equatorial kingdom. Aboard the U. S. S. Saratoga, flagship of the Navy's Aircraft Battle Force, all was silent. Suddenly a piercing boatswain's whistle sounded from the loud speakers and set the silence a humming. A deep solemn voice cried: Now hear this, from stem to stern, and from port to starboard. Davey Jones is expected to board ship to deliver a summons from His Kla- jesty, Neptune Rex, to Captain Halsey. Instantly the ship was all astir. Excitement buzzed in the air. But the solemn voice in the loud speaker was not yet finished. USet the Ensign pollywog watch for Davey Jones! Gut on the bow was heard the hooting and howling of old-time shell- backs. Then proudly down our great flight deck, six abreast, marched the port and starboard Ensign pollywog lookout watch for Davey Jones. Ensigns Samuels, Knowles, Froling, Bartlett, Sellars and Sublette in eve- ning coats, fore and aft hats lashed firmly on with white cloth lashings, white trousers of knee length, sash around the waist, no shoes and no socks, diligently took their posts in the eyes of the ship and scanned the sea from far and near searching for salty Davey Jones, Emissary of King Neptune. At five of seven in the evening the Ensign pollywogs on the bow started. A great signal rocket shot up from the flagship of the United States Fleet. Davey jones was approaching and instantly the great men- of-war rang up Hstopl' on their engine room telegraphs. The Fleet was being boarded by a greater power than it had met before. From somewhere out of the deep, close aboard the Saratoga, a muffled voice drifted down g. V. H, . ' I . I . v,,, with the wind. Ship ahoy. Ship ahoy. Ship ahoy. The pollywog lookouts swept the sea, with their firehose nozzle spy- glasses. The shrill voice of the Qfficer-of-the-Deck screamed into the wind: Ahoy, there l-H The voice came back clearer: 'WVhat ship is this ?', The United States Ship Saratoga, valiantlv screamed the O. O.

Who are you ? challenged our O. O. D. A dark figure surrounded by indistinct forms appeared over the bow and seemed to move down the flight deck. Davey jones, Emissary of His Majestjf, Neptunus Rex, and Staff. Heave to while l board you. l have important messages to deliver. I Aye, aye! said the O. O. D., and making certain that his ship was stopped, he turned the great searchlights to the flight deck and there stood wooden-legged Davey Jones, wearing the royal uniform of a great com- mander and aide to King Neptune. Behind him gathered his staff as they swarmed up through the hawse and on to the flight deck. A bold, bucca- neering sort they seemed to be with brine dripping from their very teeth. Old Davey Jones and jolly Rogers were out in force. The movie cameras ground out the scene as Captain Halsey strode ' Y toward the Embassador from the deep. iKGfCCtIHgS, Davey jones!

Your name has been brought to my realm repeatedly since the time you first entered the Naval Academy at the age of seventeen in the year 1891. It seems that you attracted attention during the Spanish American VVar, at lelanilag thereafter you were mentioned in dispatches in many lands. 1 had expected and hoped to meet you when you were a tad- pole, certainly as a junior Pollywog. It is possible that vou have avoided my realm, that perhaps you have had something to hide, that you feared the consequence of planting mines in my domain? I feel that this cannot or should not be the case as 1 have so often heard of your sailing the seas. Therefore, Admiral Butler, although you have neglected your duty in an outrageous manner by not coming and paying your respects to my realm before, I accept your explanation that it was due to no wish of yours, but to fateful idiosyncracies of an unjust Navy Department in allowing you so to do. lIy Emissary, Davey Jones, who was so cordially received on board the Saratoga last night, has told me of this splendid force that you command. Various of my scouts have seen aloft your officers and men in these so-called air contraptions over which you exert control. I therefore welcome you to my realm and extend my hand, thereby making you a citi- zen of my vast domain. Greetings, Admiral Butler, both I and all the citizenry of the deep, greet you as a Shellback, and I hereby enjoin all Shellbacks to hear this, my decree. . Admiral Butler: Thank you very much, Neptunus Rex, it'is indeed an honor to be so cordially received by you. Neptune: And now please excuse me, I have a busy day ahead and must see many loyal Shellbacks taken into my realm before the sun setsf, Admiral Butler: 'fBy all means, Neptunus Rex, and may your.cele- bration be a happy one. The more dignified part of the ceremony being over, the Shellbacks proceeded to administer the degrees, commonly known as the Royal Works, necessary to transform landlubbers into full fledged seagoing men.

Ahead, stretching unto the horizon, was the battle line of the Fleet. Close astern followed the Lexington, Ranger and Lang- ley. Dimly seen in the haze to port and starboard were the cruiser and destroyer formations. Gray dawn filtered through an overcast sky to reveal that all was in readiness for the arrival on board of King Neptune, Queen Amphitrite and their Royal Retainers. At 0830 the Saratoga steamed into the Royal Realm of the Deep at Sli 05' VVest Longitude. Came then a sonorous hail from the depths. The ship hoye to and His Royal Nlajesty boarded with his party. Following the welcome by those loyal subjects of His lVIaritime Majesty, the shell- backs, the Royal Navigator was ordered to the bridge. Neptune and his lovely queen ascended the throne, their retinue assumed their places and immediately the King cried out in a terrible voice: f'The Royal VVorksl At the time the Royal Party were taking their places, the Royal Cops had formed in two lines, facing each other, that extended from the forward end of the throne dais to the bow. As the voice of His lVlajesty rang out, the Royal Heralds sounded a flourish and the first pollywogls doom was sealed. ln ominous tones the Royal Judge demanded: iiWllZIt have you to say for yourself?', Your Honor . . . , he began. 'fShut up, shouted the cops, plying their clubs right lustily. To the Royal Barber with him! cried the judge with a wave of dismissal. The cops dragged him away, a red devil prodding him from behind with Satan's traditional weapon, which in this case was typical of the Twentieth Century, being energized with electricity. Screaming with the volume of a battleship's siren, the pollywog was hustled onto the platform adjoining the tank, slammed into a chair and relinquished to the tender mercies of the Royal Barber. Here a lather of ebony hue and unsavory ingredients was applied in generous quantities to the pollywog's agonized face. Nor can one blame the barber that the wog's mouth was agape nor that a goodly portion of the lather was deposited therein. ln the meantime, the sefond pollywog had traversed the path of pain and was quaking in the presence of the Royal judge. Seeking to profit by his predecessors mistake, this pollywog said naught when asked what he had to say for himself. But there was apparently no correct course, he thought, as clubs made merry with his anatomy and cries of Say some- thing! Say somethingln rang in his ears. Searing needles shot through his body at the touch of a fork in the hands of a gleeful devil. Without quite knowing how it came about, he found himself in a chair next to the first pollywog. Then his mouth and nostrils were filled with the vile concoction from the Royal Barber's brush. He heard a splash and noted that the chair which a moment ago had con- tained his companion was now empty. But ere the significance of this flashed into his mind the world turned suddenly turtle as his own chair snapped backward. Holler 'shellbacklln voices shouted in his ears. ' I He gasped. Water Hooded his mouth. Again the cold darkness en' veloped him. Up again, his lungs near bursting. Again the commands that he yell Ushellbackf' Shell-,H he began, but his cry ended in bubbles as hands forced his head beneath the surface. Joy and a great relief suffused his being as he suddenly found himself across the after rim of the tank. Sweet freedom. But the joy died swiftly. He was being held in an inglorious position across the rim, his head and feet dangling on opposite sides. That portion of his anatomy at the greatest altitude burned beneath the blow of what seemed to his tortured mind to be thousands-nay, millions of paddles, striking with an unerring accuracy and with the rapidity of a machine gun. A At last the pollywog found himself on his feet outside the tank. But yet another horror was before him, a repetition of the double line of cops that brought him into the Royal Court. A line that to his tottering senses seemingly stretched into infinity. At the first blow of a water-soaked club, however, he became painfully aware that there was life in the old body yet. He was on his way. A moment of hours' duration passed and he was through. He grinned. lt wasnlt so bad after all. He felt a glow of satisfaction. lVhy, he was a SHELLBACK! Albeit, an aching and battered one. Scouts at the head of the first gauntlet kept a vigilant eye upon the entering pollywogs and occasionally a Hspecialw would be discovered in the act of trying to sneak through. These specials in most instances were the ringleaders of the now historic Hpollywog Rebellionl' which had occurred on the preceding day. ln every sense of the word they were given the Royal lVorks-and howl j After a lusty draught the pollywog was presented at Court, advancing along the line of the Royal Family until, after kissing the Queenls flower- like hand, he attained the supreme honor of clasping the regal hand of Twenty-one Neptunus Rex, himself. This was the test of worthiness for the Ruler of the Deep carried always within his right palm an electric eel. At this point the victim's screams surpassed all previous efforts. For instance, when Yorgie Johnson, pollywog watertender, clasped the Royal Hand his throat unloosed an eerie, nerve-shattering sound that was like nothing else on heaven or on earth. The Gfficer-of-the-Deck, who! was peering intently toward the Penn- sylvania, ten miles away, through a long glass, swore that a moment or so afterwards he noticed that men on her decks leaped in a startled fashion and glanced fearfully about them. But at last there remained on the Sara- toga only shellhacks, whereupon King Neptune, Queen Amphitrite and the Royal Cortege returned to the depths from whence they came. In the Course of the Royal Works Did You See . . . Lieutenant Commander Sackett display evidence of being a descend- ent of that famous family of the English peerage that was granted the per- manent privilege of remaining hatted in the presence of royalty? Ensign Sellars do an impromptu Hhornpipen? f'Dat ol' davill' Gibbons handle a three-pronged fork as if to the manor born? That Neptunian version of an old Irish tradition which in this case was known as Kissing the Royal Pork ? A mess boy travel the last half of the final gauntlet on his back with undiminished speed? The scared look on the pollywogs, faces when the fake pass-out was pulled and the supposed victim carried away in a stretcher? The be-ootiful Princess?

Reeves, Commander-inlChief of the United States Fleet and senior shellback of the fleet, sent the following despatches to his forces: ' The senior shellback of the United States Fleet, the Commander-in- Chief, has reported to His Imperial Highness, Neptunus Rex, the High Ruler of all the seas, that he is approaching the headquarters of the Royal Domain with the largest number of pollywogs and tadpoles ever to be brought at a single time to pay homage to his highness and to seek admis- sion into the loyal order of shellbacks. There has just been received by seaweed communications in kelp code information that Davey Jones, Peg-Leg and the Royal Scribe, is being dispatched by His Gracious Highness, Neptunus Rex, via Sea Horse squad- rons to board each vessel and to serve notice on all slimy fish to be prepared at 0830 tomorrow, Wednesday, to appear before the Royal Court ready to forswear their uncertain standing as amateur sailors and prepare to achieve the August and Glorious status as a loyal subject in the order of shellbacks. For five minutes from 1900 to 1905 today, Tuesday, all ships will stop on signal to receive on board Davey Jones. Rockets will be fired and searchlights used to illuminate hawse pipes. All loyal shellbacks now on board are enjoined to be prepared to render full assistance to the Royal Court when it boards their vessels tomorrow to insure each Pollywog a full and thorough conversion into a worthy shellback. On Wednesday, tomorrow, at 0830, King Neptune will board the fleet. All ships will fire a three-gun salute and stop on signal for five min- utes. Display the royal Hag of King Neptune at the mast truck for thirty minutes and render full honors as befits the occasion. The loyal order of shellbacks will then proceed with the thorough initiation of all pollywogs on board.

The Admiral was seen several times, hoxrering about with a broad grin on his face, secure in the knowledge that, .st last, the most famous pollywog of them all had paid his respects to the Ruler of the Raging Klain. Likewise, the Captain and the Executive Officer, good shellbaeks of long standing, seemed to find the utmost pleas- ure in observing the expressions of terror and bewilderment on the grimy races of the initiates. It is doubted that they will soon forget the look of resignation on the visiting Army Colonel's face as he mounted the stairs to the ducking tank, though his conduct was in keeping with the fine spirit of sportsmanship always displayed by our fraternal enemies from West Point. Thus. though the Saratoga is famous for its generous Christmas par- ties. its Easter Bunnies, and other entertainments, the ordeal with Nep- tunus Rex and his merry followers should remain unparalleled for sheer enjoyment through many years-perhaps, until we find ourselves again in His llajestfs Kingdom.

Enroute ' h north a number of exercises Were held including both day and mg t praci tices During recreational hours, exercise on the llight deck and lots of ' h d sun bathing were enjoyed, with movies on the hangar deck at nig t an Divine Service Sunday. Cn lVIemorial Day, May 30th, honors were ren- dered by the firing of twenty-one guns at minute intervals at noon. But even Cruises come to an end. The Saratoga launched her planes as We approached San Diego, Saturday morning, June 6th. Shortly there- after, the Ship came to anchor to unload cargo and disembark squadron personnel. After customs inspection We steamed out of Coronado Roads. Long Beach Was reached the same evening. The long line of blinking shore lights, the glow from city clusters and the colored array from the so-called Pike, united to extend awarm welcome. Liberty call brought hundreds of men to the Quarter Deck and it was not long until oflicers and men Were ashore with families and friends. Wie had been away from April twenty-third to June sixth. Another Battle Problem was solved, another Cruise was history. All thanked God for a safe return to the homeland. LUNG BEACH, CALIFORNIA 1 '7:'F3slTl1d4Xf- v ..
