WW iger Crui e little known feature of a long deploy- ment is the invita- tion to the fathers, sons, and male friends of the crewmembers tojoin us for the last week of the return transit. These tigers fly to Hawaii and ride the ship into San Diego. This year, most of the tigers flew in together on a package deal. About forty tigers embarked for the return trip after two days of sightseeing in Hawaii. Because we wanted to make the tigers feel at home, movies were run on the Site-TV system most of the day, meal hours were extended, and there was a more casual outlook throughout the week. The highlight of the week was the gunnery demon- stration. The crew showed their prowess on virtually every weapon in STEIN's arsenal. Fifty caliber machine guns, lVl60's, the 25lVllVl chain gun, and the 5 inch!54 caliber mount were all fired. Some tigers, most notably Denis Loncto and Buddy Davis, stood watch with their sons - even the dreaded midwatch. All in all, having the tigers on board was a welcome diver- sion from normal routine.
