ecember 2, I 99 I Haze Grey and Underway December 2, 1991. started asa dull, grey morning for most people in Charleston, S.C. However, the day had a different meaning for 935 crewmembers of the 47 year-old battletender USS SIERRA QAD- 0181, commanded by CAPT Robert Kamrath. For many veteran members of the crew. it seemed like only yesterday that the ship returned from refresher training in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Young crewmembers were eager to go on the cruise and visit far away lands, while well seasoned sailors of many cruises knew that the sooner the cruise begins, the sooner it will end, Unfortunately, the cruise didn' t start off as planned, with the weather playing havoc with S ierra, s sched- uled departure time of 0900. The morning fog had gradually reduced visibility down to only half a mile, thus delaying Sierrcfs departure from Naval Station Charlestonis Pier Papa by over an hour. On hand to watch Sierrals departure, were more than 'l 00 family members and friends, gathering on the pier to say their last good-byes to husbands, wives, sons, and daughters for six months. Loved ones received areprieve from separation when the fog moved in. Little lily children gathered on the pier and waved to theiramothers or fathers on the ship. AS- the mominrg. progressed, the fog finally den parted andit became apparent that the ship would finally get underway, Happy voices and smiles on the piereventually became tearful realizations of the impending six5month1 serparation. At 10:20 AM, the words Underway, shift colors, echoed through the mighty tender the last of her mooring lines were pulled aboard. Little children waved and said their Hnal good-byes. Crewmem- bers stayed on deck until they could no longer see their loved Ones. The Med deployment had finally begun. z ' ' N' 3. fi ' ' ' lf ..t ' 'ii
