All of us enjoyed the endless activities of America's first city and strolled through Central Park, along Fifth Ave- nue, and other familiar places. The ship was jammed with visitors who came to inspect our globe-trotting carrier. Mayor O'Dwyer declared our sojourn VALLEY FORGE Days. Chief of Naval Opera- tions, ADMIRAL LOUIS DENFELD vis- ited the ship in New York.

Wm The beginning of the end! On blustery 22 May we steamed majestically into New York Harbor. All hands peered eagerly through the overhanging haze to catch the first glimpse of wonderful MISS LlBERTY, welcoming us back to our homeland. High ranking Naval and Air Force officers made the first helicopter landing aboard VALLEY FORGE shortly yo PL before we entered the harbor area. An eternity seemed to pass while customs and agricultural officials cleared the ship after she was docked at pier 32, North River. At last liberty call sounded and many of us were again united with families and sweethearts. During our brief visit many who lived nearby were granted leave. N 3 5

Air Group ELEVEN made an ex- cellent record for itself in the very small number of crashes aboard during the cruise. Although the operations went smoothly most of the time, an occasional accident served to remind us that carrier operations are serious business, and require constant vigilance, both by the pilots and the ship. iw ff.
