A look at the Half Moon's bow taken while the ship was in drydock in the CG Yard in Curtis Bay, MD.

When work on the hull was complete, the ship was refloated by letting the water back in to the drydock

The Fall, 1964 Bermuda SAR Standby deployment started with a training program for the Oceanographic Technician School. Here a student stands on the oceanographic platform or "gallows" while taking a Nansen bottle cast.

The Half Moon received orders to rendevouz with a radar picket ship, the USS Investigator for a Medevac. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm in the area and some of the waves were over 30 feet high.

The Half Moon manuvered alongside the Investigator in preparation for transferring a seriously ill sailor from ship-to-ship by highline.

Once the patient was onboard, the Half Moon made a high speed run to Bermuda where an ambulence met the ship at the dock.

While in Bermuda, the Half Moon made a short trip to the US Naval Base in Hamilton to take on fuel.

As the completion of the deployment drew near, the Half Moon sailed one last time out of Town Cut (as the entrance to St. Georges Harbor is known).

A short distance off the coast of Bermuda the Half Moon rendevouzed with the CG Cutter Spencer for relief of Bermuda SAR Standby and then set course for New York and home
