Those often heard words echoed over a rainy pier and WESTPAC 79 had begun. It was a long, hard road, but we'd finally made it. No more inspections, special ops, assist visits or help from others-we were on our own, and did we show them! We steamed, we loaded, we assualted, we launched helos and boats, we did it all and the fleet knew NUMBER 1 was there. A ship is many things, pier side she is bells and honors, sideboys and decorations, imposing but restrained. But she comes to life at sea. She is alive to her surroundings and becomes the dream she was in a designer's eye. TARAWA, the Eagle of the Sea, has spread her wings and made her presence known in the largest of the oceans. She adds a new dimension to our nation's defense and is a valuable friend to our allies when they are in need. TARAWA is our ship, and through these pages you'll meet her crew and sail with us on her FIRST WESTPAC. We hope you enjoy these pages and memories. WELCOME ABOARD.
