IZMIR, TURKEY On March 11th after a two week period of intensive maneuvers with the fleet an event of interest in naval history was enacted when the Bainhridgc anchored in the ancient waters of the harbor at Izmir, Turkey. Though Izmir has existed as a thriving seaport since the days of the Hittites and has been a principal port and gateway to the Middle East for centuries, the Bainbrklge was the first nuclear powered vessel to visit the historic city. The city offered new sights and points of interest to the men, just as Bainbridge caused much comment and interest among the knowledge- able seafarers that reside there. Many tours were available and of these tours one of the most unique was the visit to the ancient city of Ephesus which has been, excavated by the Turkish Government. Ephesus was thecapitalof the Roman province of Asia. Many of the beautiful sculpture works of that period have been excavated in addition to the famed Temple of Diana, one of the ancient wonders of the world. In addition to the shopping and sightseeing tours that most of the men enjoyed, there were offered two uniquely Turkish sports, wild boar hunting and camel wrestling. Bainbridge crewmen par- ticipated in the former, accounting for ten of the beasts. As for the latter, no one will ever quite forget the sight of the gayly bedecked fighting camel being towed around the ship on a barge while a Turkish band played to publicize die camel WTestling matches held in the city !

TARANTO, ITALY After another week of operations, demonstrating the versatility of a destroyer by providing anti-submarine and anti-air support for an am- phibious landing exercise in Crete, Bainbridgc dropped her anchor off the historic Italian Naval Base at Taranto, Italy. The event marked her first visit to an Italian port of call and was highlighted by tours of the ancient city and the famous caverns at Castellano. Bainh ridge ' s athletic teams busily engaged themselves against the local baseball and basketball teams and enjoyed a chance to take part in some physical exercise. The Italian Navy offered to Bainbridge ihe use of its clubs for recrea- tion and many friendships were made with our seagoing allies.
