Entered in several meets throught the Far East, Myron C. Martin, DC1, took top honors in swimming and diving. Considered to be a high-ranking performer, Martin also contributed greatly to the honor and re-nown of the Helena. He is pictured here with those awards which he earned during the Cruise of 1951.

The ship's basketball squad entered many contests at the Fleet Gymnasium in Yokosuka. The good spirit and support of the ship made all of their games a real "game to see".
