Debarkation m a d e easy fabove and belowl, seem to be the principle involved in these opera- tions. Rather than three individuals c li m b i n g down the net at a time, which is customary, this experiment tried putting ten men on one net, and ' ' the lowering them into landing craft with one of the ship's winche s. Needless to say, it was purely an experiment. pf HM1 S. E. Poisal, a corps- battalion, is man attached to the the only known member of the cruise to catch a fish fupper ' all rightl.

Troop life aboard ship was routine in many ways, how- ever at frequent intervals the ships themselves provided diversion -- in the form of refueling, hi-line operations, and helicopter transfers. The wet-net drill, pictured above, was one such event. Designed to give troops practice in going over the side, it also gave boat coxswains practice in handling landing craft. Above left, the MONROVIA refuels during a calm dayg while a not-so-calm day occasioned the hi-line transfer of personnel lbelowl from the TRAVERSE COUNTY. While the TACONIC was with the squadron, its gray helicopter hopped from ship to ship lleftl carrying guard mail and, on occasion, personnel.
