ANTARES AK-258 The U. S. S. ANTARES was converted from the former Victory Ship SS.NamPa Victory. She was built in 1944 at Portland, Oregon, served during World War II in many ports of th ld ' ' e wor and was laid up in the reserve fleet. In 1951 she was taken to the Maryland Drydock Company Yards in Baltimore and converted to an AK. She was commissioned in Baltimore on 12 February 1952. Underway training WGS completed in Newport, Rhode Island in May of 1952 and her first cargo carrying duty was to Argentia, Newfoundland in June of 1952. In August she sailed from Norfolk t0 replenish the fleet in th M d' e e iterranean and visited the ports of Valetta, Malta, Taranto and Naples, Italy, and Casablanca, French Morocco, returning to the United States in late September of 1952. Until the start of this book the ANTARES then remained at hel' home port of Norfolk Virginia except for a t , wo week tender availability in Newport, Rhode Island in November 1952.

A. by Fa.omAN We bade farewell to Norfolk, Va. the city of peace and contentment, with expectations of a pleasant cru1se.- Our thoughts were soon diminished as C. A. SMITH, SN on the starboard anchor dropped the hook as ordered by BOSN HARRIS. The fog had entrapped us. The special anchor detail stood grimly by and drank coffee made by D. D. THOMPSON, SN. The detail was secured in the wee hours of the morn and we started once more into the vast Atlantic. All Went well for the first few days, all we had to do was put up with the pipes of Boatswain fMates MIZEN, BM3 and BUNYAN, BM3 and their continued supply of jobs they had on hand for us. Then it happened, that dreaded sickness which predominates in the Navy took firm hold of the ship. From the lowest seaman apprentice to the chiefs, sea- sickness took its toll. Many a man took his turn over the bulwark. W. H. HUTCHINSON, SA, J . K. WADE, PN1, C. J. LIMANNI, CS1, and C. P. GIOVANNINI, FN were among the many seen with green faces and hands stuifed with saltine crackers. A few highlights of the storm which prevailed was the shambles it made. of the mess deck. MAA E. G-. NEARY, BM1 and his mess cooks R. A. BARNET, SN and C. W. MILLER, SA didn't like it one bit and resolved it would never happen again - and it never did. Another instance of the severity of the storm took place one night when it seemed everything was breaking loose. The men tossed from side to side not sleeping much at all and it was said that a few people had actually fallen off their racks and onto the deck. LCDR GRAY can confirm this. Everyone came out in fair shape. After the storm had subsided the crew once more settled down to a life lead by the BOSN pipe. Also it should be remembered was the futile attempt by STAUFFER and his trumpet to rouse the crew for reveille. That soon ended and cry by STORY, BM2, - "UP ALL HANDS" sweep down fore and aft was soon impressed on the minds of all. To pass the monotony of the cruise, kind hearted Boatswain Mates like O'CONN OR, BM2 kept the deck division on the go with plenty of sweeping and scrubbing downs. A continuous chime from the snipes was that of standing so many watches but whenever one was to be found for work to be done, just go to his rack and there he would be in solemn sleep. The watches proved to be exciting for some men. SUTTON managed to find a new mountain in the Atlantic Ocean. Putting duty first he reported this phenomenon to JOOD ENS SMITH. ENS SMITH never confirmed the mountain but SUTTON believes he did see it. The charts on the next cruise may be altered to include Mount SUTTON. 'gs 51: nb I .

Rolls and candy were eaten but jam was forbidden after a prominent person almost put his foot in a can of Jam. Murphy and Clarke were always hungry. Of course many of the old salty seaman took the trip in the stride, many a day would go by when you would see J. SIMMONS, SN, MORRISON, BM3, or ANDERSON, SN in a corner shining his boots with that gleam of expectation of the liberty to come in their eyes. Always an added interest to the cruise would be the "bull sessions" held every once in a while. Commonly seen in the center of such a group would be some- body like Farmer, EM3, or Thomason, SN telling of some old sea story. Bill Price and his violin along with Charlie Williams and G. T. Sammons with their guitar and mandolin respec- tively supplied us with many a happy hour with songs from the south. The only contact with the outside world was the ship's newspaper, pub- lished by our radiomen. The name of the paper changed everyday. The first name was "The AN TARES Apparition," next the "Blue Streak" and so on. The Sunday edition was known as the "SCORPION." Chief HYNUM spent a good deal of his time assembling the news and drawing the cartoons. Thanks must be given to C. JOHNSON, RM1, WALSH, and McLEOD for copying the news. The lights of Augusta were soon to be seen on the horizon and the men anticipating liberty, began in earnest to shine their shoes. One of the highlights of the trip was the competitions in the parlorgames held each successive night. The winners in the tournament received cigarettes, presented at quarters by Captain HAN SEN. Pinochle Winners included C. CARTER 8z C. J. LIMANNI and checkers by THEVEN IN. Augusta and Casablanca were the ports where mail was waiting for the ship. JONES received 26 letters in one day. The rest of the crew were content with four or five. TERNES was busy bringing the mail aboard and taking the crew's letters to the post oilice. He was as welcome as Santa Claus when he returned with a bag full of mail. f-AXX 1 gx Kill...- I WONDER IF CRACKERS WOULD HELP BUTTERCUP? I I I ' "" , i 'Q -w ' ' M' V' . 5 I aft ., I . .

AUSTFJORD As luck would have it our ship approached Augusta Bay at. twilight. It wasn't until the next morning that the famous Mount Etna was seen, av rare and breathtaking sight. The mountain is 11,000 feet high and completely dominates the island of Sicily w1th its majestic beauty. Augusta and Syracuse for many aboard was the first liberty in Europe. As soon as the ship anchored, the. ' bum boats appeared off the fantail. The pickings were poor and most of the crew decided to save their money for souve- nirs that could be obtained on the beach. Augusta was a poor liberty town, AKOURY, PRICE, WAGNER, AND MORRISON agree to that. Tours to Syracuse were organized and over eighty men made the trips. Not many sailors went ashore in Augusta. The road to Syracuse was rougher than the rocky road to Dublin. The bus driver paid no attention to road signs and streaked through the country side at a rapid pace. The people riding horse drawn carts and bicycles paid little attention as the bus weaved in and out - narrowly missing them -- all the while the driver was blasting away on the horn. This, however, is typical of Italian driving. WARNER, MILLER, BROWNING, WITCHEY, THACKER, BARANY, and WELCH were not accus- tomed to such reckless driving and their faces showed it. The first attraction was the Roman arena. Before the party left the bus they were engulfed by at least a hundred and fifty enterprising business men offering rare bargains 'in diamonds, watches, pistols. For instance Joe Cusl could purchase from Pizan Ctheml after a little bargaining, a genuine fifty carat diamond ring, or a 21 jewel wrist watch for a few dollars. The men finally found refuge inside the arena. Near the arena is "THE GRO'I'I'O THAT CAN SPEAK." It is carved in the shape of the inside of an ear. The resonance at the entrance is so great that a whisper is amplified to sound like a shout. Close to the "Ear" is the Grotto of the Rope ,Maker. It is. smaller and it has been used since the Fifth Century as a factory for making linen rope, and by descendents of the same family. One of the more ancient decendents of the long line of ropemakers was exchanging pieces of his line for cigarettes. The Catacombs were next visited. Compared to those in Rome, 'Syracuse's catacombs were a disappointment. Lunch was held at a fashionable hotel. Drinking was heartily discouraged before this time but during lunch the O. K. was given for a little wine with the meal. This opportunity was utilized the fullest by those of A the more Epicurean natures. The bus ride back was short and the crew arrived at the dock a tired but a happy group. However, the group wasn't quite as large as it started out to be. It seems that two enthusiastic seamen liked the tour so much they decided to prolong their visit. After spending a most enjoyable time in one of the local taverns, the Shore Patrol made arrangements for their return trip. Upon their arrival the pair was granted an audience with the Executive Officer, who in turn deemed the matter to be of sufficient merit to interest the Captain. Shortly afterwards arrange- ments were made for this interview. . Two members of the crew were injured during off loading operations. TSARNAS, G. J., SA fractured his left arm and. left foot when he fell while working in number five hold. TSARNAS was transferred to the U. S. S. MIDWAY for treatment. BUNYAN, D. R., BM3 suffered palnful bruises from a fall into number two hold but was treated aboard and returned to duty after a short stay in sick bay. xii? g EU gk, M j V W' N ly' A ,Af Af' ff 47:2 X Y f YOU'RE NEXT KEIPER--.GRAB YOUR BOARD w1AgLmUMM7q,,, mt? x '1 Wjlllufli ,N - iv xyg I J mv' yuzelwm W f --" f ff ,W f Hs ' WIHNHM flll!lllllllIlllll0 W W" WHATS A ms minor. cn?

The men aboard rushed to get seats around 34 hold for this was the night of the smoker. Free cigarettes and ice cream were distributed to everyone that attended. A hush fell over the audience as that jolly master of ceremonies, E. G. N EARY stepped into the ring. He welcomed one 8z all to the ANTARES smoker and told the audience to relax and enjoy the entertainment. The first event was a hill-billy band comprising G. T. SAMMONS, W. R. PRICE, C. WILLIAMS, 8z C. W. J ERNIGAN. The songs were interesting to say the least and many of the men including KEIPER 8x SU'1'I'ON were in tears when the band finished playing. A boxing bout followed the- band. Round house Williams opposed slugger Fink. After 3 exciting rounds Fink was declared the winner. Later Fink won more fame when he won a bout in a smoker on the Tarawa. A 2nd bout included K. O. JOHNSON 8: Flash HUBBARD. Flash tried hard but he was no match for K. O. due to the fact that JOHNSON was fed on wardroom cooking. The referee at all the matches was the famous retired wrestler "Strangle Hold" AKOURY. A jazz band filled in between bouts. This consisted of hot lips WILDER, Hoiser STAUFFER, 8a Tooter HUBBARD. Straight from Greenwich Yillage these cats really had the house Jumping. After about fifty numbers the band retired amid cheers from the audience. Three more boxing bouts followed. Baltimore Mauler ZAMPANN I took on lower level terror BAXTER. The terror quickly took advantage of his opponent and polished him off in two rounds. Two snipes had won so far and the audience began to wonder if a new air condition- ing unit had been secretly 'installed in the engine room. Coal duster BURLINGAME and Bronx Bull BARNETT battled to a draw. Fancy Dan PERRY won. a match from sud buster HOFFER in three rounds. The bands then played some good- night music which brought the Smoker to an end. All participants received a carton of cigarettes with the winners of the fights getting two. The deepest appreciation must be extended to the two judges WADE, J. K. and Chief BOND. These two managed to enjoy the show as well as obtain a carton of cigarettes.

This is a scenic paradise containing a beautiful blue bay, the volcano Vesuvius as a back drop, ancient ruins and modern structures. Tours were organized to Rome, Pompeii, and Sorrento. As soon as the ship docked merchants appeared with wares to sell. The American does not know how to bargain with Italian sellers. A few men at first paid the asking price of an article much to the joy and astonishment of the Italians. However, a few tips from WILLIAMS, A. and GIOVANNINI put the men wise. GIOVANNINI surprised everyone with his bargaining. The price on any article was cut in half when he went to work on the merchants. Needless to say he was very busy making purchases for his buddies. Chief Davis later found that Casablanca was a hard place to drive a bargain. The American dollar was equal to 625 lire. Places to see in Naples included the Cameo factory, the Umbergo arcade, ancient castles, the finiculars, and the San Carlo Opera House. Chief TRESSELT and Chief PENDERGRASS enjoyed Naples according to reports. The taxi business was controlled by J. SIMMONS. He managed to get a taxi for everyone at a very reasonable price. People who didn't take advantage of his offer had to argue over the price of fare with the driver half way through the city. Naples was overpopulated with guides. No matter where a person went a guide appeared to show the bewildered sailor the sights of the city. The restaurants had excellent food, ask BALDOSARO, CARTER, R. A., and WALSH for verification. The side walk cafe was a rare sight in Naples but quite common in Casablanca. The most popular items that were purchased included Bara gloves, Borsa- lino hats, 400 day clocks, Cameos and perfume. Naples will be remembered as an excellent liberty port for American sailors. Ni T Lfiwbj-Hfam THE TASTE IN WOMEN VARIED AMONG THE GODS 13 ROME by E. R. Malin On Tuesday morning, 17 Feb. 1953 a tour including 17 men and ofiicers left the ship for two days in Rome. During the five and one-half hour ride the guides pointed out the sites along the old Apian Road. Mr. WALKER, L. PURVIS, and R. HAWKINS made the trip as shore patrol. Upon arriving in Rome, the men were treated to' an Italian favorite - spaghetti. After dinner spaceous rooms were assigned. The tour that afternoon included such wonderful sights as St. Peters Basilica, St. Paul's church, the Pope's summer and winter homes, the Park of Rome and the balcony from which Mussolini gave his speeches during the war. Camera armed sailors including Florian, Austfjord, Stamos, and Vetter took pictures of 'many of the sites. Kelly managed to get his face in most of the pictures much to the dismay of Forte who ran a close second in posing for pictures. Later chow consisted of another spaghetti dinner. The men began to wonder if they ate anything else on this sunny peninsula. Mr. WALKER marveled at the fountains in Rome and wondered how they could waste so much water. On ship fresh water is as valuable as top secret material and as guarded in almost the same manner. ' Kelly, Vetter, Forte, Sz Meier decided to go dancing that night. They met several of the Roman beauties in one establishment. The taste in women varied among the gobs. Kelly preferred fat women. Vetter liked them thin. Vetter was the hit of the evening when 141 he tried to jitter-bug on the dance floor. It was a pleasant evening until Vetter ended up paying the cab fare back to the hotel. Forte's girl was so obliging in relieving him of his last three thousand lire. Crook, Zimmerman, and Saltus had a nice night also and it was difficult to get them up in the morning. On Wednesday morning another tour of the city was conducted. On this trip such tourist attractions as St. John's church, where the 28 steps with Christ's blood are found, St. Mary's Basilica where the Catholic boys received blessed ashes on Ash Wednesday, the pyramid, the Colosseum, Pantheon, Arch of Emperor Titus, and finally the Roman Forum where Julius Caesar was stabbed to death, was seen. The latter was a photographers dream. Mr. SMITH, MEIER, STAMOS, and AUSTFJORD jumped the railing to get a better view of the ruins. A guard took them to an ofiice where they had to pay two- hundred lire each for admission. They returned to the bus amid loud laughter from the other members of the crew. After this tour the journey home was started. On the way the Catacombs were visited. After wandering through these ancient tombs the tour party boarded the bus once again for Naples. An evening meal was served in a small town named Formia. The chow again was spaghetti. The driver made the last part. of the trip at a record breaking speed. . He drove like a wildman taking hair pin curves on two wheels. About 2045 the bus driver left the tour party off at the ship. A -tired but happy group of men climbed the gangway of the ANTARES full of stories to tell their buddies. ourslnls sAlN1 Perens AMQNG THE Rum wow! moss ITALIAN oluvEns THE FORUM HOLD IT 1151 CASABLANCA The stay in Casablanca was a short one. Liberty in this town was perfect according to Burke, Saltus, Szczur, Mann, and Hawkins. The city is suffering from growing pains. Soon it will be a challenge to any metropolis in Africa. The sections of the city are remarkable in contrast. The French section is as modern as New York. Window displays show the latest fashions from Paris. Sables and minks adorn the expensive shops on palm tree lined boulevards. Prices are high as most of the men found out when they went ashore. The bargains found in Rome and Naples were not present in Casablanca. The night clubs were more expensive than those in New York or Philadelphia. The rate of exchange in Casablanca was 325 franks for one American dollar. The other extreme is present in the Arab section of Medina. Here dirt, winding alleys and open markets prevail. Some brave people including Barnett, Tomchick, and Gunter went into this section to see the sights. Hair-cuts were not common among the arabs and Tomchick, our, barber, could make a fortune in this part of Africa. The last trip, tours were made to the prisons but no old salts went back for a second time on this cruise. The reason would be worth investigating. The thoughts of home were dominant as the ship left this port for the trip back across the Atlantic.

HCI-Aw 1171 HOMEWARD BOUND The weather on the trip home was ideal. The seas were calm and the skies were clear. However, two days from Norfolk the ship ran into the end of a raging storm. Seasickness again took its toll. Buttercup braved the weather long enough to take a stroll on deck. The ship rolled over to one side and Buttercup slipped and fell from the 02 deck to the 01 deck and then almost over the side. The next days she spent below and Dikun's persuasions couldn't budge her from her new home. When underway religious services were held on Sundays. The mess hall was used as the chapel. Neary and his men set up the benches and a rostrum for the preacher. Sacred music was played over the radio preceeding the ceremonies. At 9 o'cIock the smoking lamp went out and the Catholic Services began. ENS Smith led the men in the Rosary. Prayer books, rosaries and hymn books were obtained from the Chaplain at the Norfolk Naval Base before making the cruise and these were issued to the men to. use during the service. The service ended at 0945 with a group singing of "Holy God We Praise Thy Name". Religious music was again played over the radio until 10 o'clock. LTJ G Owen then led the Protestant service. TV films "Frontiers of Faith" obtained from the Chaplains oiiice were shown for two of the servicesg also pamphlets and testaments were distrib- uted. The Captain presented some thoughts from Bible verses-and hymns were sung' by the congregation. When in port no services were held on the Antares. In Augusta Bay, church 185 was held on the Evergladesg in Naples the Adirondack held church services. Here the men could attend a service led by a minister or priest. Some men went to 5Mass in the churches in Naples. St. PETER'S in Rome is the seat of the Catholic Church and many men were eager to attend a service in this Cathedral. On board no one was forced to attend the services but the turn out of the men was most encouraging. Birthdays were not forgotten. Each man had a cake baked for him by Parker or Thevenin when his day of glory occurred. The cakes varied in size but not in shape. All were flat and square and covered with red, green, and blue icing. No candles decorated the cake, the reason being that some men were easily overcome by heat. The radio gang devoured Ternes' cake, the deck gang finished off the one baked for O'Connor. Sutton managed to save a good piece of his cake and no one has ever found the hiding place. What Gallas, Thomason, Martin, Morris, D. A., Palmer, Anderson, McLeod, and Wagner did with their cakes is still a mystery. On Feb. 12 the ship had a birthdayg one year in commission. Two cakes were baked for this event. The cakes were proudly displayed by the bakers and pictures were taken. The crew then toasted the Antares with milk and cake. Parlor games were played on the way back. Winners included: Pinochle, Pendergrass and Tresseltg Acey-duecy, Card: Cribbage, Card 3 Darts, Tomchick. Finally the light ship was sighted outside. Chesapeake Bay. Three more hours and the crew would be home after a six week cruise of the Mediterranean.
