Rota, Spain 14-16 JULY, 27 AUG - 03 SEP, 21-26 NOV 98 The city of Rota is located on the south coast of the Andaliisian region of Spain. The AUSTIN visited this port three times, for the purpose of turn- overs with the WASP and NASSAU Amphibious Ready Groups, and an IMAV (Intermediate Main- tenance Availability) sandwiched in-between. Al- though each visit was a working port, AUSTIN s sailors and Marines managed to take advantage of what Rota had to offer and spend some pesetas, which the crew quickly rename potatoes. Rota was AUSTIN ' S tlrst experience with a Eu- ropean city, make all the better because we could explore it from the relative safety of the joint Span- ish and American Naval Base. The Base and MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) facilities were awesome and enjoyed by many of the crew. Those who were more adventurous went out to the city of Rota as soon as they could. They found Rota to be more like a small seaside town than a city and en- joyed the people and the sights while remembering not to touch the Orange trees owned by the King of Spain. Destruction or perceived destruction of these trees would result in jail time. Many of the crew explored the nearby city of Seviila and the British territory of Gibralter in September, during the AUSTIN ' S second visit. The third and final v isit found the crew busy with the Agricultural Wash-down, the command Physical Readiness test, and the turnover with the incoming NASSAU ARG. Rota was the gateway to our Mediterranean deployment and it was approached with great anticipa- tion and excitement and we left it with a sense of relief and expectation of being reunited with our friends and loved-ones A shot of the populace of Rota, Spain on a beautiful summer evening.
