For about three months in 1945, the Boston was stateside being repaired at the Navy Yard in San Pedro.   The guys all had three-week leaves (in two shifts).   When they returned to the ship, there was plenty of liberty time for all.   From Baked Beans, Vol 3, Bob Knight tells us:

My aunt had a cousin who lived in Hollywood, right next door to Walt Disney.   I got to meet Walt and tour some of the studios.   Jane Russell was just coming in at that time and I got a quick peek at her in the studio.
