Memories of Those who served on the USS Fox

Burlap Royalty

One of my fonder memories of the Fox was when we held field days to completely clean the ship
to enter port in the Samoan Island of Pago Pago, to enter Tain the King and Queen.
When they came aboard they were dressed with burlap sashes around their waists which were the sign of royalty on the Island.
Look like they were wearing a Tatami Mat.
