...appearances, Norton Sound was off on another of her one-day, routine, rocket-testing trips to the Navy's offshore test range. But Gralla knew, even before opening the sealed orders in his cabin, that Norton Sound would not be docking at Port Hueneme (pronounced Wye-nee-mee) the next day, or for weeks afterwards. Her destination: a secret rendezvous with a special Navy task force off the Falkland Islands, some 10,000 miles around the Horn and off in the South Atlantic...

It is to be hoped that Director Mee and the Workshop will continue their endeavors in this direction...
