Amphibious Assault Award
14 August 1964:
Not content with doing merely what is required of them, the entire crew competes, by division, rating and individual, to see who can do the best job in the least time, on the winches, the bridge, the hatches, the phones and the boats.
Stewards, Storekeepers and Yeomen join Boatswain's Mates and Enginemen in manning hatches and winches, and launching and operating the ship's 16 landing craft. Everyone is involved.
