Panamint, U. S. 8.1 Now Here for Navy We ek The history connected with USS Panamint, flag ship or “lucky ship” of the North Pacific Fleet, now lying in dock at the Subport in Ju- neau is enough to impress even a landlubber. According to the ship's official diary, the 460-foot vessel on which 40 officers and men arrived here Wednesday to celebrate Fleet Week and Navy Day, has more than ample 1eason for its special designation, Lucky Ship of the Fleet. Not only does the Panamint’s per- formance during the war justif such a claim, but her record was made against a background of per- sonal data that would have spelled ‘bad cmens, and plenty of them” to he oldtime seafarer. Name Derived “Panamint” itself derived from the Panamint Moun- tain Range which erlooks Death Valley and faces Funeral Mountain Range. ded to the fact that the flag ship’s number is the portentous 37, is date sk for commissioning iday, the 13, and the location of her office during prz-commissioning —1300 Park Avenue, Hoboken, 1 Yet despite these portents, the Panamint has the following record during her one year as a commis- sioned U. S. Navy vessel, briefly: ing the Equator twice and the dateline four times, she's traveled re than 30,000 miles in two oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific.

Cel.
