December 25, 1971, while on Yankee station rearming Tin Cans, cruisers and a couple of carriers.

The Captain called down and said we had a can due along side that had been shooting for over 11 hours and needed a quick meal...So I had the mess cooks come up join the other cooks and we made over 400 hundred sandwiches for them...We also sent over 10 gallons of ice cream and all of their Christmas mail...Sure made their day.
