In response to Allen Opie, I was the CIC Officer and Navigator when we got plastered trying to go around the typoon enroute to Pearl Harbor. The first day out, we had pizza and spaghetti for lunch. After lunch, we went to GQ for a drill. Over 95% of the crew was seasick. The smell in CIC was rememberable. I also remember when we shaddowed the Russian trawler Sarychev. When we were finally called off, we made it to the Manchester fuel piers with only 14% fuel left. Then we sailed to TI with no radar, no sonar, no LORAN, and continuous cloud cover from Washing state to San Francisco. The only Twining members I have had contact with since I left for parts west in 1970 were Wally Sleeth (the supply officer) and John Dirlam (the ASW officer). I tried to find CDR Brainard a few years back, but was unsuccessful. I will always remember the Twining (and bachelor life in San Francisco). Best wishes to all.
