USS GLACIER (AGB-4)     The USS Glacier (AGB-4) Patch on the back of my blue Navy jacket.     I reported aboard the USS Glacier (AGB-4) on September 8th, 1960, in Boston, Massachusetts. About a month later, we headed south for "Operation Deepfreeze 61" in Antarctica. After a brief stops in Newport, Rhode Island, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, we went through the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean.       Grog in Pago Pago, Samoa, the first port-of-call after crossing the Equator.   Grog's first beard! Grown while we were breaking the ice into McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.   USS Glacier pulling into Wellington, New Zealand, during the first week of January, 1961.                       The Glacier spent a month in the floating drydock on the left of this photo. Both propellors had to be replaced after breaking the ice into McMurdo Sound, Antarctica -- some of which was nine feet thick.   View of the propellors of the 8,600-ton Glacier in the Wellington, New Zealand, floating drydock, prior to being replaced. Each propellor is 17-1/2 feet in diameter.
