yelled fire, and Sims let 24 hedgehogs ily over the starboard how one Spring evening in the mid-Pacific. NYhether a sulnnarine crew regretted that moment or a whale had a new hole through which to spout, the Sonarmen will never know. However the numerous mammals sighted as we crossed that wide span of hlue water lead us to an embarrassing conclusion despite the convincing arguments presented hy Mydosh. Sluski. House and the other members of the gang. The seemingly endless watches of continuous 'ipingingi' off Korea found Gregory or Brown on the stack and always Myers man- ning the Toe-Potfi Can we ever forget the BKT lowerings every four hours, our feet hare and our pants rolled, dodging the seas that broke over the fantail. Like everyone else, the signal gang started the cruise lacking in task force experience. But after operating with TF 77, the signalmen were a crack combat-trained outfit. The overall excellence of visual communications is elo- quent testimony to the training and hard work put in hy the hridge gang.

They llorm a rather important segment of the SIIIllHt'tjl.S' personality as a man-of-war. In conclusion, the department was faced with a tough assignment' in girding itself for war. Our fine showing overseas tells part of the story of how successfully that assignment was met. The rest ol' it is known only to those who stood the watches and sea detail, and the thousand and one other items which together, constitute lite ahoard a modern combatant vessel.
