Chicago proceeded to N. KOREA, but none on
board were ready for the drastic weather change we were about to go through.
We had just left the weather of the tropics. Both temperature and humidity
around 100 every day. The pictures on the next page are when we arrived on
station. IT was sure cold compared to where we just come from. On any given
day earlier in the cruise it was to hot for anyone to visit, Hot, Hot, Hot!
Now the fireroom was the only place on the ship warm and toasty, and all
kinds of people stopped by to visit and warm up. It was a chance for us to
show our stuff. I'm just glad no one came around on the mid-watch as there
wasn't enough peanut butter and jelly on warm bread to go around.
Not only did I enjoy traveling to
different countries, I enjoyed meeting sailors from different countries. From
the Queen's review in Portsmouth, to repairs in French Naval Yard in Toulon,
France. How many remember getting the Ships sonar dome repaired in dry-dock,
After damage in Brest France. Working with the Canadian, Australian, Japanese
to name just a few. I've included some links to other Navy's of the world.
