They, in turn, were delighted to return home to nestle in the comforts of her ,well padded ribs. The first shyness quickly dissipated, marital fnot martiall bliss flourished under the influence of a soft semi-tropical moon and the charm of CVG-I7. Night and day the happy union progressed, under the beaming gaze of the father-of-the-bride. Once in a while, he scowled at the groom when it seemed that he treated the fair lady a little too roughly. But CVA-I8 was a steady gal who knew a thing or two about buzz-boys and their ways. She alternated opportunities for leisure with coy but loud and positive calls which sent all hands scurrying to drills, like GQ, man overboard, air defense and other parlor games which would gradually bring about familial pride and intimacy. She always had a shot in the arm ready too. Suddenly the honeymoon was over and they returned home 'to Norfolk, Virginia for a few household items and a quick glance at the family budget.

Pompeii was uncovered from the ashes which smothered it centuries ago when the volcano errupted. Our visit gave us the chance to see the old city as it once had been. As we looked about and recon- structed the daily lives of the people, by observing the shops and homes as preserved, we began to realize that human nature does not change very much basically. lt must have been a great liberty town in the old days. We strolled along the old cobbled streets, studying the ruts made by the chariot wheels and wondering about the trafhc problems in the narrow streets. The Director of Public Safety must have had a great time trying to untangle things, and the shore patrol then, probably had a time of it too. Our guides ammused us with their droll com- ments, some of which would have made even MOMMA and POPPA split their sides laughing. On the way back to Naples we rode along the magnificent scenic drive through Amalh and Sorrento. On terraced hillsides we saw the dilligent farmers ot work on the grape vines and prunning their olive trees. They waved back at us in a friendly manner which made us feel doubly welcome. And when we got back to Naples there was MOMMA waiting patiently. She had the lights on all over the house too.

Too fat to .pass through the Panama Canal. That's how fat. It would be a long trip around South America or South Africa, so we got orders to tighten tvtOMMA's girdle and transit the Suez Canal. We did that at Port Said the northern port of the canal. The passage was a quiet gliding trip for most of us. Captain Henry and operating crew had a tense, alert time, but most of us could rubberneck to our hearts content. Only, there was not much to rubber-neck at! The Suez Canal is a long shallow ditch-straight as a surveyors' line and linked by occasional lakes or side canals. Ships in those side canals, shunted off for us to pass, were a most amusing sight. Only a mast or bridge showed, as if the ships were buried in sand. On both sides to the horizons we sow sand and more sand, varied by a few mirages, and, now and then, by a small oasis. Once in awhile we would see on Arabian or an African, depending on which way we looked, come loping along on a camel, or maybe sitting on his donkey, quite undisturbed by the steel monster of a carrier. That is, both he and his donkey were undisturbed. It did not take us long to begin to feel impatient, and we were very pleased to see the city of Suez, the southern port of the canal, for MOMMA could let her breath out a little. At Suez we dropped our pilot and the ship plunged into the Red Sea... which turned out to be as blue as any other. For a time the Family Bible became a travel guide book, as discussions were held concerning Mount Sinai and the crossing of the Red Sea by Moses. But a sailor looks to ports of call, so we began to discuss the possibilities of Colombo, our next one. The discussion became more and more animated as we crossed the Indian Ocean and wondered how much liberty we would get. Sure! We like the sea, but not this much of it all at once. MOMMA and POPPA kept us on the iob though, with a promise of liberty at our first oriental port. urs' l Q i il if ,vi W! F . .T h' 11... -rg: is SEE THE WORLD...

Standing into the harbor we passed Corregidor, which gave us a moment of choking pride and Bataan Penninsula, a glorious place of glorious deeds. Close in, we were surprised to see that wrecked hulls still lay on the bottom, their ghostly mast heads, mute reminder of the struggle of a decade past. MOMMA felt right at home-for she Carries stars from those hectic days, while some of her brood remembered vividly. . .for they had been there. POPPA and MOMMA felt a new surge of pride, here was one more reason why the bond between them was so close. Darlin we are Growing Old, could well be their song'l:l But other songs were to be heard, and they rang out- Mail Call - liberty call -and of all things, another swapie, swapie of money. We got Pesos and centavos, for which, like the lire and rupees, we found there was on magic formula to make them stretch. The ward-room was on a splurge here rattan furniture no less. MOMMA was like a gal with a new hat. And POPPA could see what was coming. She was going to want a whole new wardrobe. So he got in as many hours of flying as possible, one more fling as we passed Okinawa. And then, both settled down to report the family in to the new boss-Commander Seventh Fleet, and Commander Naval Forces Far East. Our iourney half way round the world was now to prove its worth and purpose. NOW lT TOOK 3 U2 HOURS TO SET ZEBRAMHIGHLY UNSATlSFACTORY. 'am WWW 8 , DCDWNTOWN MANILA. f F hu mf 'a' v.

Once We MOMMA indicated that she was a gal who loved to loflmrlhe sea, for she kicked up her heels and proceeded Odu e waters of Sasebo harbor those who would y mp into th lr lgelup to G bouy.

Chiang-Kai-Shek and staff and Am. bassador Rankin were taxied by 'copter to the ship as we lay off Formosa and they watched a demon- stration of Naval Air Power which impressed even old hands.

We went back to our old haunts along the Korean coast, making a brief anchorage off Pusan to disembark our guests who had learned by now not to say, l'm going upstairs . As we beat back and forth on patrol, we ioked about a tax reduction and free mail, but we knew that to the UN and the good old USA our presence was security. We didn't talk about that much, it is better to remember the laughs. And to tall: about stress and strain, well, only the initiated can comprehend that. ln February, we had a short upkeep period back at old Piedmont Pier where MOMMA had some of her machinery overhauled. And then we went through a tedious exercise which seemed the toughest of them all, because it was getting near rotation tfmo. We were proud though, for MOMMA and POPPA were the best. One more visit to Piedmont Pier, one more lthe lastl exerclw, and we were at ease. 4 One day in April, the good old BOXER came by to relieve us. We'll always look upon her favorably for keeping a promlslt And we headed home. No more lire, no more rupee, no more pesos, no more MPC, iust one American yen. One interlude remained. lt was a brief stay in Honolulu. There we again were reminded of the heroic dead as we viewbfli tl the traces of Pearl Harbror, 7 December l94l. We were proud that our inheritance did not find us wanting, nor will the NGVYQ ever lack spirit or men to carry on the inheritance of valor. An old fashioned recruiting poster used to say, Join the Navy and see the World . Well, we had and did. Cuba, Florida, Virginia, Iceland, ltaly, Suez, Ceylon, Sumatra, China, Phillipines, Japan, Honolulu and California. 9 Sometimes it was just a glimpse from the sea, ferquently we got our feet on terra firma. ' No one can ever say to us, l've gargled more salt water than you've sailed -The Atlantic, Arctic, Carribbean, Mediterran8001i Red Sea, Arabian Sea, China and Yellow Sea, The Pacific. We saw every shade of green and blue and grey the oceans cont Memories are full of contrasts, ltalian cabs, Ceylonese rickshaws, Manila busses, Japanese trains, Hong Kong WG hibachi and sukiyaki, sapphires, pearls, silk, silver, ivory, mahogany, teak, vino, tea, sake, a dozen languages, millions of faces: the vigor of the new, patina sheen of the antique, slit skirts and hula skirts, Sistine Chapel and Tiger Balm gardens: Cameo and iade, round eyes and slant eyes, Vesuvius, Fuiisan, Diamond Head, freezing and sweltering, seeing American Ballet in N0Pl95' hearing Louis Armstrong in Tokyo and the lnk Spots in Hong Kong, shimmering desert of Suez, steaming tropics- Yet, with it all, there is no place like HOME.

Three years later he was awarded his wings of gold when he finished flight training at Pensacola. The famed High Hat Squadron, VF-l, on the historic USS SARATOGA, the staff of flight instructers for fighter squadrons at Pensacola, and the Far East tour of the USS AUGUSTA were all part Captain Henry's early naval career. He was assigned to Navy Patrol Boat Squadrons from V240 to l94'2. ln l943 and l9-14 he served as Squadron Commander and then as Air Group Commander of Fleet Air Wing lO. Following a tour as Executive Officer of the Naval Air Station at Alemeda, California, in l94-4, Captain Henry assumed Command of the Escort Carrier USS CAPES ESPRANCE in l945. He was named Assistant Chief of Naval Intelligence in l946, a position he held until l948 when he was assigned to the Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island, for duty under instruction in the Senior College, Strategy and Tactics. ln l949, Captain Henry was ordered to duty as Chief of Staff for Commander Carrier Division FOUR in the U.

East coast iets were first assigned to squadron VF-l7l in l9 47. VF-l7l and VF-l72 were the first iets squadrons to Pcfllclpole in full scale combat exercises in l9SO. VF-i712 took the first banshee squadron into Korean action in l95l. Many Mediterranean cruiseS and fleet exercises helped built the reputation which the group holds as being the finest in the Atlantic Fleet. Little wonder then that the groom's boys were selected to team with the WASP tor the round the world cruise and Korean action. The Atlantic Fleet's reputation in N'VestPoc was in capable hands. Commander Swanson, CAG to his boys, had been the boss for over a year when we started. He knew the pilots and their pl0f16S e'V well, since he ioined each in turn to lead them in the air, both ashore and on board ship. His boys experienced the toughening trial of combat exercises. Their personalities developed from the eagerness of volatile yovth O the confidence of maturity. The boss thought of VF-l7l as his prodigal son, always eager to be oFf on detached duty, but mOf9 lhan glad to return to home base. f Korean waters, Japan liberty, and bargain hunting were old stuft to the boys of VF-l72. A superior attitude was theirs OS 0 fesull O knowledge gained in Korean war operations, and the title fair haired boy of the family an apt nick-name. I on The supersonic boys of VF-l73's testers proved to be the pranlcster son. Flying the new Cougar , the Killers and thelf Flew so mastered Momma's and Pappa's new toy and made their tests boom through the skies of the Far East. dme The heavy duty member of CAG's teams, VA-375, were his old reliables , the steady performers who carried the bl99e5l loo farthest distance, big brother we called him. I I the Among his adopted children the boss counted the night prowlers from VC-4. They logged more time on condition f4i than they did inmue air. The sub-hunters from VC-l2 bore the distinction of being the only ones awarded the honor of induction into the Royal Order of was Noses as a result of crossing the Arctic Circle. The other night tiying detachment who shared the wrath of all for sleepless hours The VC-33. Ready One missed many a movie during their flying evenings. Our photo boys came with us from .lacks0nville's VC-62. Spider Flight made themselves popular with their excellent air shots of Air Group planes and pilots. Lelt to Right.

The job of maintenance was a tough one, but with a topnotch crew of men like AMI PATTERSON, AOl HUTCHINSON, ADl BAKER and ADl KARHAM working day and night when necessary, lOO per cent avail- ability was the rule rather than the exception.

After letting down through an overcast into the pitch dark beneath, no sight was more welcome than Momma's shapely figure outlined in red deck-edge lights and dustpans, with her LSO lit up like a Christmas tree waiting on the fantail with open arms. Sometimes, out of capriciousness, she would turn out all of her lights and play hide and seek with the Night Prowler or make thirty degree turns as he came up the groove.

I VC-12 There came from Quonset Point, in the land of the Ouohaug, a small brother called by all the Ugly Duckling. But this Ugly Duckling had none of the complexes suffered by Hans Christian Anderson's original of fairy tale fame. For though this duckling knew he would never be beautiful he had a profound sense of well being. He knew his effectiveness matched that of his sleeker brothers, that he was admirably equipped to fulfill his missions. His missions were many and varied. Most important from the standpoint of Mother was the Ugly Duckling's ability to search for and find submarines and low flying attack planes. He and his brother, the Juvenile Delinquent, formed the WASP's hunter- killer team. Having found a target the Ugly Duckling then directed his brother to make the kill. Since the dangers of submarine attack are ever present the Ugly Duckling was ever ready and did fly in all kinds of weather, day or night. The Ugly Duckling first proved his worth early in the cruise during Operation Mariner when radar controller Lt. Macon directed Ltig. Oberholtzer of VC-33 to the theoretical kill of a submarine threatening the WASP. All this occurred while the maiority of the WASP's crew slept soundly during the pre-dawn hours. The Ugly Duckling earned the respect and gratitude of forty two pilots who were aloft when fog suddenly closed in about the fleet during Operation Mariner. During those hours of Indecision, when ditching in Arctic waters seemed imminent, it was the confident voice of Ltig. Patrova piloting a guppy, with Chrele Tebrich as radar controller, who could provide much needed information about the force below. When the fog did lift, so that all could make a safe landing, the Ugly Duckling maintained his vigilance until the last of his brothers were safely aboard. The Ugly Duckling performed other services, too. His search and rescue capabilities quickly endeared himself to all his brothers. Worth mentioning perhaps was the mail service perfomed while the WASP cruised off of Florida. Best forgotten, however, are the hours spent at Pinwheel. A The Ugly Duckling can claim few records but of the eight Blue Nose cards awarded on this world cruise, six were to members of the VC-l2 detachment: Ens. Muennink, Ens. Morency, Ens.Wetz, Chrele Tebrich, Williams AT3, and Gustus ATAN. The cruise has been interesting and we're glad to have played our part, but now we're glad it's over.

A A When they adopted this little delinquint, neither Momma nor Poppa realized what V a fly-by-night orphan they were getting. As he had been used to roaming the Board- walk in Atlantic City. the Delinquint quickly felt the effect of having new parents to discipline him. The VC-33 detachment was startled to find itself flying twentyfour hours a day in Mariner , searching for bombers, subs, surface raiders, and we took the load off the Bennington . ln the lndian Ocean, Momma whipped him twice with her barrier cables and Poppa took away half of his favorite toys- two of his best AD-4N's-to be replaced by old, rebuilt ones. Although the two planes required a lot of maintenance at first, the Delinquint soon was able to launch them for many of his night heckler hops over Korea and the Sea of Japan. The heckler's mission was to try to keep the simulflled enemy from sleeping, moving troops or muntions, and to generally lower his morale at night. Our APS-3l radar was perfect for leading us to and from the area, Gnd our searchlights and flares were adequate to illuminate the target for low level rUnS- Although we enioyed all our day hops, we had the most fun at night lboth at seq and ashorel. rsfl S, A, L. .gr 29 Left to Right: Front Row: Middle Row: Last Row: MISSING: BELL' J' P' AT3f BUNNELL W- P- MAN.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER Each evening at IBOO, attention was piped over the IMC and we heard the dulcid tones of our Executive Officer greet us with, Good Evening Everybody . Com- . mander Bottomley's good nature allowed us in one happy hour to kid the broadcast XX-gnx- X., as reminiscent of Uncle Wiggley As a matter of fact, the nightly review of our daily work plus the report on events in the Task Force or the movements of the ship with another Port-of-call, did much to keep us informed and, as a consequence, a little happier. The Exec always included the highlights of the world's news and usually signed off with some news in a light vein. A typical day during replenishment would g find Commander Bottomley on the bridge 5 .rv keeping station, then if we had a shoot and GQ he would hustle to secondary conn, and in between he would wade through K, -f the paper work which flowed across his .,,,s- I desk in a never ending stream, ending up with a session with department heads at the eight o'clock reports. Frequently, he would make a tour of the ship alter taps and night prayer to see that the family was at rest. f Our Evecutive Ofhcer hails from South Z Jersey. He was born in Merchantville on October I3, I9I5, the son of the late tvtr and Mrs Harold S. Bottomley. He began his naval career at the United States Naval Aigrrrler-ty. A 'i'r :zu w N' zr, :nrt .-.hi-rif he graduated in the class ol I937. His tirst fleet assignment as an Ensign was inthe light cruiser CONCOQD tts- liz: for wiht training at Pensacola and ruccivcd his wings on the I5th of October l94O.

We don't know what MOMMA would have done without this department. The Executive force acted as the secretarial member of the family, and a big iob that was. Personnel records, a tedious task, were kept up to date, instructions, directives, leave and liberty and general morale all fell upon the Executive Officer and his staff as a heavy respon- sibility. Advancement in rate, aided by the Training Office and the encouragement and opportunity to obtain civilian secondary and collegiate courses gave all hands a chance to get ahead , The Legal Eagle not only drew up specifications for our courts, but aided in defense in military matters. Also from the Legal Oftice we obtained much assistance on personal problems. The MAA force kept things moving in an orderly fashion, from chow lines to movie lines. For recrea- tion, we had the Hobby Shop, Athletic Gear Locker, and Crew's Library. Our ship's basketball team was the representatives of Navy Far East when it made a clean sweep in the tournement at Atsugi. The team also promoted a great deal of good will by its exhibition games against Chinese teams in Hong Kong- AND PERSONNEL OFFICER 3 The Chaplain's Section of the Executive Department took care of our church services and religious needs as well as morale factors like the tours, shows, happy hours and publications. And directed from this office, were the Welfare and Recreational Council and Enlisted Men's Committee which entertained us with Bingo and dances and spread the spirit of Christmas with the parties aboard for needy children. , The Print Shop, besides turning out routine jobs was able by the use of non-appropriated funds to furnish us with such items as the Stinger and Shellback cards and certificates plus the holiday menus.

We called Supply Uncle Manual , due to his constant reference to the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts Manual! He was reported to have a mattress full of money, but he kept MOMMA on a strict budget and precise allowance. like all girls MOMMA tried to hide her years. That took a lot of cosmetics, paint and lsoapl powder in tremendous quantities. And the roceries! One week, Christmas to New Years, with the holiday meals, the brood consumed l5,000 pounds of spuds, 9 3,000 pounds of turkey, 4,500 pounds of chicken-plus the trimmings. lt took 50,000 bars ol candy a month and l25,000 packages of cigarettes each month to keep the family happy. Then, sundry toilet articles and a variety of uniform clothing kept Uncle Manual on run for sources of supply. Replenishment days saw what practically amounted to an all hands evolution. You might think l am kidding, but we used over three million sheets of paper each month for olllicial business. Tools and materials ' ' f I d for repairs to POPPA's planes and MOMMA's surfaces sure strained the budget, despite her beauty she was a hull o a ga an bt we managed. Uncle Manual often wondered how we didn't go broke. But we managed, it took some doing, u 'O Rl Slcmdxng McKAY, R.C-I GRIGSBY, w.c., TRusLow, J. w., uf McKAY, R.c:., CHPCLKy CHASE, w. E., ENS.

It is no small feat to push some 35,000 tons around the world, with stops and starts, backing, filling: the tact that we are home is a tribute to their organization and persistance. ln this family we called them the dead end kids, but not because they sat da-.-fn, It WCS G mcirm,-se of qwdcmq Gammon for .

Machine shops are not glamorous, but they produced wondrous results, ever to that Dali Christmas tree. They came to the rescue of the plane maintainance crews with many a spare part too.

It was no dance but hard with long hours. Flight quarters was a call which came at ungodly hours, and while many of their shipmates snoozed on, the air department had early reveille or would drag their weary bones about late into the night. From flight deck control, through primary fly, along the catwalks- down below in the catapult rooms or arresting gear engine spaces, an inticate operation went on to get our planes in the air or safely back aboard. Plane pushers on the hangar deck in their blue shirts always managed to get some ironic humor out out their task, even when they dragged the deck to spread the rust dust about a little more. Other departments could kid the air department about being the spoiled brat of the family, or sometimes the wicked sister.in- law -but in point of fact, it was this child which kept MOMMA and POPPA working together when their own individuality may have led them in different directions. The iocose citation given the Air Boss at the New Year Happy Hour read in part, never have so many slept on so few wings ln all truth this hard working youngster had to snatch sleep at odd times. The tie downs were either going on or coming oft, hangar bay til had to be cleared for movies or church services or some other function. It was a never ending iob.
