She is named for the city of Austin, Texas, and honors Stephen F. Austin, Texas patriot. Launched and christened in June, 1964, and commissioned in February, 1965. she has consistently demonstrated the capability- expressed by her motto Seapower through Mobility, to deliver combat-ready troops and dispatch them with precision, by landing craft or helicopter, to the scene of action at any position on the littorals of the earth. Throughout her history AUSTIN and her crew have been instrumental in developing new systems and incorporating operational experiences as the tactical role and physical configuration of the modern LPD has evolved to meet the changing needs of the amphibious arm of the Fleet. The AUSTIN is designed to combine the functions of several amphibious ships — the troop transport, attack cargo ship, helicopter carrier, and dock landing ship. The ship can carry over 900 combat-ready Marines and deliver 2,500 tons of heavy equipment, either by helicopter, launching two at a time from the landing platform on the after part of the ship, or by landing craft from the well deck that opens to the sea from the stern of the ship. The AUSTIN can carry up to six amphibious transport helicopters and up to 12 pre-loaded landing craft. She has the fuel storage capacity to act as an underway refueling platform for both ships and aircraft. Just prior to this most recent deployment AUSTIN was reconfigured to handle the LCAC, the Navy ' s new air-cushioned fast assault craft, and to transport and launch up to 15 of the Marines ' new Rigid Raider Craft. MARG 1-89 is the AUSTIN ' S seventh deployment to the Mediterranean. y ' mn ..  D REP.OF6ER.

That is what the Law ordains, that is what our wives and children demand of us, the necessity God has laid on us, the opposite of what the Romans wish — they are anxious none of us should die before the town is captured. So let us deny the enemy their hoped-for pleasure at our expense, ana without more ado leave them to be dumb-founded by our death and awed by our cour- age. At daybreak, when the Roman troops entered the fortress, they saw and heard nothing but a fearful solitude.

These complexes are among the most representative of the Roman world ' s capacity for building and engineering. They were baths for sweating, combined with massage, and followed by washing in hot, tepid, and cold water. POMPEI Decoration on a wall of the entrance to the House of the Vettii.

On the sides, in the lower part, are two masks of gorgons. Above them are two cupids. Inside the niche is a figure of Neptune with his trident. Higher up is Venus in a shell. ▲ Painting in the household shrine of the House of the Vettii. In the center is the presiding divinity of the household making a sacrifice flanked by two guardians of the household with a drinking horn and dish. Below is a serpent of good genius. M The large theater (left), theater portico (center), and gladiators 1 barracks (right). The theater terraces are built in to the hill slope in the Greek manner. The spectators were protected from the sun by awnings supported around the back of the theater. The barracks contained stables, a prison, a kitchen and eating hall in addition to the central gymnasium. The building originally served as a huge foyer for the theater. P uddenly on 24 August A.D. 79, Vesuvius erupted. The small towns on the slopes of the volcano and in the valley beneath, p including Pompeii, were buried under a layer of material from the eruption. It is probable that the majority of the Ijpulation was caught unaware by the novelty of the situation. For centuries the people living around Vesuvius had Imsidered the volcano to be just a mountain like any other. Many must have been suffocated by the fumes being misled into ■linking, by the distance of the white-hot magma descending the slopes of the volcano, that they had time to collect their lelongings before fleeing towards the sea. Indeed, even the latter was to prove a deadly trap. So unexpected was the eruption lid so rapid the death of the citizens that the town came to an abrupt halt in the midst of its everyday activities during a orief loment. 43 Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Besides being chiefs of police at sea. ihe sea cor- porals, as they were called in the British navy, had to be qualified in close order fighting under arms and be able to train seamen in hand to hand combat In the days of sail, the MAAs were truly masier at arms.

When, in 1789, the Revolution finally arrived it yas everywhere acclaimed. It was not a single, self-contained Iir unified uprising, but a succession of revolutions. One after nother, various men or parties emerged to seize power. One fter another, they were swept away by forces stronger than hemselves. All who played a role in the drama believed hemselves motivated t y patriotic or altruistic impulses. All n consequence were able to value their good intentions more lighly than human life, for there is no crime, no murder, no nassacre that cannot be justified, provided it be committed n the name of an Ideal.
