	Tutuila
		Tutuila underwent shakedown in Hampton Roads from 20 April to 24 May before sailing for the Panama Canal and proceeding via San Diego, Pearl Harbor, and Eniwetok to the South Pacific.
		Tutuila arrived at Norfolk on 30 May 1951 and served there until 13 October, when she proceeded to Baltimore for one week before returning to Hampton Roads where she remained from 23 October 1951 to 16 June 1952.
		Tutuila proceeded north toward Norfolk but encountered a storm—much like the one weathered in 1945, with 80-knot winds and heavy seas —which caused a three-day delay in her returning to home port.

	USGS - Evapotranpiration on Tutuila, American Samoa Home Page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Estimating the amount of water that is transferred from the earth's surface to the atmosphere by evaporation or transpiration (collectively known as evapotranspiration) is essential to quantifying the water resources of oceanic islands such as Tutuila, American Samoa.
		In the water budget of an oceanic island, where all freshwater (including water in streams and lakes as well as ground water) comes ultimately from precipitation, evapotranspiration reduces the amount of freshwater available for people, freshwater-dependent aquatic ecosystems, and maintaining the aesthetic qualities of natural freshwater bodies.
		To estimate evapotranspiration on the tropical South Pacific island of Tutuila, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA), is operating a network of automated climate stations that collect data from which evapotranspiration can be computed by the Penman (1948) method.

		Her duty with YangPat offered excitement and variety: conducting roving armed patrols; convoying merchantmen; providing armed guards for American flag steamers; and "showing the flag" to protect American lives and property in a land where civil strife and warfare had been a way of life for centuries.

		The data collection effort, listed in order of proposed acquisition, will include: (1) monitoring climate data to be used for calculating evapotranspiration by the Penman method, (2) regional analysis of rainfall distribution, (3) stream-seepage measurements and analysis of streamflow data to assess ground-water/surface-water interactions, and (4) tests to determine aquifer hydraulic properties.
		On Tutuila, analysis of ground-water withdrawal, pumping, chloride, water level, and streamflow data have contributed to the development of a conceptual model of the hydrogeology of Tutuila.
		In contrast, wells in the low-permeability rocks of the rest of Tutuila characteristically have high drawdowns and are commonly affected by saltwater upconing even at moderate pumping rates.
