| Lia's words: We spent most of the
time with the Fleet Training Group out
of San Diego untill the Gulf Crisis when they sent us to Mid Pac in
Hawaii. We unreped the ships headed to the Gulf. We were getting
refited to go into the Gulf when the War ended. We went back to Hawaii
and were there when the Midway turned over to the Idependance. We
followed the Midway back to San Diego. We stayed there for awhile
untill they got the New MSC oilers operational then we headed to San
Francisco for the Decom. I thought that they would keep the Kawishiwi
because we had a rear refueling rig but I guess she is due for
dismatalling. She was not famous enough. She is just a beautiful old
workhorse of a ship.
