F 1' Not for six months after she was commissioned was the USS VVarren destined to see her first combat action. Thus it was that the ship and her crew found themselves in the long and tedious process of training for amphibious warfare. A short overhaul period at Norfolk - ah, what a lovely, quiet and serene little town that Norfolk is - had completed the ship's conversion to an attack transport, and it was here that the ship complement was filled out by the joining of the boat group. So followed day after day in the miserable cold of Chesapeake Bay, unloading Army assault troops in the dark- ness for a dawn landing and reloading them by nightfall. Well remembered are those ammunition boxes filled with gravel, the seemingly endless number of vehicles- the confusion as the Army and Navy strived for coordination - the inevitable critiques where each service handed verbal bouquets to the other. Finally we sailed out into the Atlantic, and with the ever-present peril of Nazi subs keeping all hands alert and jittery, the Warren made her way through the Panama Canal to the west coast. The trip was high-lighted by a stop at Guantanamo Bay and by the leisurely run through the canal with the small boats following the ship like ducklings behind the parent duck. s V V H, Y YY-77777777 Yyrrf Awgn --WMM - VVQV , . , ,, , , ,, , --. ,K ,, , - , - V v V - -
