1 16 i 1 , fir M-mega.-.rv-f .tea Lynx ST. THCJMAS St. Thomas is a picturesque Caribbean isle that many of us had seen after ZELLARS left Gitmo in 1966. The view from Bluebeard's is sensational, the taxi drivers say Hey Mon! , and you can sit all day on the porch of Trader Dan's swapping stories over rum goodies. It was in St. Thomas that the two U.S. ships, ZELLARS and MC CLOY, threw the party to end all parties. The ingredients for the squadron blast were several hundred sailors of three different nations, 200 odd cases of beer, hot dogs, baked beans, and Magens Beach. Throw in Ens. Reeb, Chief Seymour, and RD3 Desron Royto try to ride herd on the affair, and you have what is called in modern circles an astro-zoo. The party ran two days and left the squadron for dead. As we limped out of port at six in the morning on Monday, BERWICK sent the follow- ing byflashinglight: Your party a tremendous suc- cess. It has replaced Dunkirk in our memories. .g5Y?f',:?tJL5',11?7gfggr, ,ff 1 ,pl I - v ,bf V by ff? .-'T .':' LM,M'.,.4,g,. .....,r,.,, .--,, ,H I , In earl--. -

The pattern for Springboard was a week at sea and the weekend in San Juan. San Juan: city of two Hiltons, Gatsby's, the Scene , and Pig Alley, While many of us had been there before, you certainly will never hear a complaint about San Juan. One morning, Commodore Visee rode ZELLARS into port. It was a warm, wg sunny day and the Captain was hold- ing forth on the bridge on the ad- vantages of shipping over in the American Navy: Free movies,good chow, travel, adventure . . . , Cold beer? , the Commodore interjected.

f-Q:1r,:.g.g'.1Tf, The party at Magens Beach After a nervous night with our steering gear in San Juan, ZELLARS set out to catch up with the rest of the squadron inthe Atlantic cross- ing, In the, nine lazy days that fol- lowed the Captain shot flying fish from the bridge the never did hit onej and Proctor, much to the XO's horror, started growing a Cgasplj beard. When we finally caught up, BERWICK sent us a whimsical mes- sage about the prodigal son having returned, and everything was back to normal. The stop at Ponta Delgada furnished the ship with badly needed fuel and a mountain of Portuguese bread QWas Ens Niblock out of his mind?j which took weeks to get rid of.
