................................................
Kawishiwi continued to operate with the Fleet making deployment to WestPac, including the Appollo 13 recovery on April 17, 1970 and Vietnam until 1975.  She had a collision with USS Hancock(CVA-19) during that time. She made one deployment in 1976-1977 and then the last one was from Januanry 1979 until July 14th 1979.  During our last deployment she participated in several excercies and were an integralpart of one of the largest ever TEAM SPIRIT EXERCISES ever conducted.  There were 55 ships that were part of the exercise and Kawishiwi refueled almost every one during a 2 month period.   During that same deployment we earned the coveted Battle Efficiency Award for the best oiler out of Midpac, see the: meatball pennant.  We beat out the oilers Hassayampa, Ponchotula,  and Ashtabula.  Also we were runner up for the Golden Anchor Awardwhich was awarded to the ship that had the highest re-enlistment rate.  We receieved the Silver Anchor Award.  Additionally, we were called upon to rescue several folks whose tanker had gone down.  This terrible accident happened off the coast of the Phillipines and Kawishiwi responded......We then brought the survivors to .Subic Bay....(see: CWO Daniel R. Hilbert)   Then continued to operate off west coast and Far East untill decommissioning and turned over to MSTS 10 October, 1979.
