HOME SWEET HOME ON 31 AUGUST THE LONG AWAITED DAY FINALLY ARRIVED. AS THE COOPER RIVER BRIDGE BEGAN TO TAKE FORM EVERYONE KNEW THAT YES WE WERE IN FACT TRULY HOME AGAIN. WE HAD STEAMED 33,101 MILES, OBTAINED 3,570 RADAR CONTACTS, CON- TROLLED 2,100 AIRCRAFT, EATEN 168,476 MEALS, CONDUCTED COUNTLESS UNREPS, AND SPENT MUCH OF THE CRUISE UNDERWAY. WE HAD DONE THE JOB WE HAD SET OUT TO DO AND HAD DONE IT WELL ENOUGH TO BE A PACESETTER FOR OUR SIXTH FLEET CONTEMPORARIES. SIX BLASTS SOUNDED THE END OF THE CRUISE AND AS WE ROUNDED THE BEND CATCI-IING THE FIRST SIGHTS OF CHARLESTON AND OUR HOMECOMING, ONE THOUGHT CAME TO MIND. WE WERE HOME AND IT WAS GOOD. .I ,s.I,! f.
