Hlyd.市米兰达街11324号。长滩理工高中（Long Beach Poly High）的啦啦队女孩正为鲁珀特斯号舰员进行慰问演出——该舰携另外两艘驱逐舰，在完成第三次远东部署后，经檀香山从朝鲜返航，靠泊长滩港A码头1-2号泊位。」 图1：机电三级军士长萨姆·博茨（EM/3 Sam Boarts）从舷梯将圣诞包裹（原文拼写为Chirstmas）递给妻子肖娜，同时肩头还扛着另一箱礼品。他刚从作为第32驱逐舰分队旗舰的鲁珀特斯号上离舰。 图2：亚瑟·巴罗夫人怀抱3个月大的女儿黛安，女儿对从未谋面的父亲的迎接显得兴致缺缺（原文拼写为dis-interest）。孩子的父亲是首席机械军士长亚瑟·巴罗，家住莱克伍德公园市赫肖尔特大道4809号。 图3至图4：首席机械军士长亚瑟·巴罗迫不及待地想要抱抱直到昨日才初次见面的女儿黛安。婴儿被递到他怀中，舰员们纷纷围拢围观。左侧分别为枪炮军士比尔·米勒（原文拼写为Gunersmate）与吉米·希克斯（原文拼写为Gunersmate）。 图5：另有两名水兵同样不愿等待舷梯降下，直接跳上码头（所幸长滩港码头沉降幅度不大，跳跃难度不高），迎接他们从未见过的妻子与孩子。从左至右依次为：水兵唐纳德·斯坦梅茨与妻子，以及他们5个月大的儿子吉米，家住长滩市莱姆街1778号；水兵唐纳德·萨默斯与妻子，以及他们4个月大的儿子拉里，萨默斯一家家住长滩市米拉马拉街2362号。 图6：面露落寞！即便有来自长滩理工高中的可爱啦啦队女孩表演助兴，这些坐在码头边缘桁条上的水兵依旧提不起兴致。缘由何在？他们均来自美国东部城市，只能等待其他本地舰员的欢迎仪式结束后，才能获得属于自己的迎接。 图7：待补充说明。 图8：水兵唐纳德·萨默斯与妻子、儿子拉里的特写镜头。这是拉里首次见到父亲，但他似乎毫无反应。萨默斯为S.S.塔克号（S.S. Tucker）舰员。
