Nice weather. Had plan operations all day. Fueled from (x324) Tied up alongside Tingey.
Open in the diary →Nice weather. Arrived in Port at 0700. Refueled and took on ammo. Left port at 1630 in route to Manas in the Admiralies. Us and the Tingey are escorting the Iowa. This sure isn’t a very good Christmas. Received word mom is seriously sick. I pray to god she is okay.

Open in the diary →Another month overseas. Easter Sunday today. Left 0730 in company with the Randolph - Hunt - Tingey. Rescued pilot who crashed at sea. It took us three minutes to get him out of the water and in 18 minutes he was back his carrier. We think this a new record.
Open in the diary →Play ball again in the morning with the Hunt, Also the Tingey.
Open in the diary →Hunt beat us in todays game. We beat the Tingey and the APD. We shouldn’t have played so many games at once.
