-.5 - ,,.,. f1 Once again, TICONDEROGA arrived in Hawaii. TICO and her crew completed more planning conferences with NASA, CTF-130, and this time the Press was included, as they became a part of the recovery team with their mission of projecting the Apollo 16 recovery to the people of the world. It was also a time of rest and relaxation for the officers and men of TICONDEROGA-a small break for important men in this most challenging task. It would be a long time from here until TlCO's crew would have an opportunity to rest again. Hawaii was enjoyed by all. There was golfing, sunbathing on Waikiki Beach, island tours-just about something for everyone. With the preliminary conferences and briefings completed, it was now time to get down to the business of putting it all together-the men, the equipment, and TICONDEROGA. TICONDEROGA steamed out of Pearl Harbor on Monday, 3 April 1972, to start a new kind of training never before experienced by her able crew. This was something new and exciting. The officers and men were looking forward to taking part in this new chapter of TICONDEROG1-Vs proud history. Much was to be achieved during those brief three days in the training area south of Hawaii. TICONDEROGAE crew put forth their very best effort, as always, in working together with the NASA, CTF-130, UDT-12, VR-30, HC-1, VAW-111, and the Press pool personnel.

These exercises were conducted with the initial objective of familiarizing everyone with his part, smoothing the rough edges, adding necessary phases or eliminating unneeded areas. There were many briefings and de-briefings, for everything had to be perfectg no stone was to be left uriturned. Everyone was in one the show-TICQNDEROGA and her crew, NASA, CTF-130, HC-1, UDT-12, VR-30, VAW-111 and the Press.
