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.

NAPLES, ITALY Following a week at sea, in which she participated in a large NATO exercise with military forces of France, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, Bainbridge pulled into sunny Naples. Italy ' s third largest city and busiest seaport, Naples proved to be one of the favorite ports of the cruise. Naples, the home of the cameo, offered an opportunity to do some ex- cellent shopping at the NATO exchange for products from all over the Mediterranean area. Included in tours of historical and recreational interest was a tour to Rome during the Holy Week, daily cruises to the storied Isle of Capri, sleepy Sorrento, famous Pompeii, and nearby Mt. Vesuvius. The daily tours to Capri included a two-way boat cruise, dinner and a sunburn. The famous Blue Grotto included on the route provided an interlude of wonder. Pompeii- Vesuvius provided the locale for yet another exciting tour. The city of Pompeii was buried under lava from the volcano Vesuvius before the time of Christ. The remarkable excavation restored the ancient city and much of the art of the time. A walk through Naples during the day is a sight-seers delight and quite an experience. If one avoided the horn blowing speeding vehicles he was sure to bump into an official Neapolitan guide who would spend the remainder of the day at your side. The night life was gay and spectacular and provided much entertainment for the weary sailor. The crew thoroughly enjoyed Naples and the only regret was that the visit to Naples passed too quickly. 65
