"PORT CALL - Hawaii! Pulled into Pearl Harbor early in the morning & tied up to the NSC pier across from the USS Sacramento. Chris, Bob, Dean, & I went on liberty together. We took 'The Bus' down to Fort DeRussy on the beach at Waikiki. There we bought 2 cases of beer and sat on the beach and party'd. When it got dark, we walked down towards the International Marketplace, had dinner, a few drinks, and bought some souvenirs. Then to 'Le Boom Boom Club' and saw Polynesian dancers. Took a taxi back to the ship."
Note: Fort DeRussy was an Army reservation built in 1915 in order to protect Honolulu and Pearl Harbor in the US territory of Hawaii. Located on Waikiki Beach, very near Oahu's historic hotels the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and the Moana Hotel, the former Shore Battery was used as site for servicemen on Rest and Recuperation (R&R) during the Vietnam War.
