WiTh her warTime iob done and her crew Tired buT un- hurT Through almosT Three Tull years oT war aT sea, The BalTimore reTurned To The PugeT Sound Naval Shipyard aT BremerTon, WashingTon in July oT I946 To be decommis- sioned and become a member oT The PaciTi aT BremerTon . . , a parT oT The moThball TleeT. c FleeT Reserve BuT The world was noT yeT aT peace, as men had TerevenT ly hoped in I946, and iusT Tive years aTTer her relegaTion To inacTiviTy in The BremerTon reserve group, The USS BalTi- more wa a ' ll d ' s gain ca e upon To come alive and become a TighTing ship oT The UniTed STaTes Navy on The hi h s There were many weeks oT hard work by boTh yardciivorfgl d an crewmen, removing her cacoons, cleaning preserve- Tive Trom her machinery, and Tixing her rusTed and brok parTs, before she was again ready To Take her place in The TI T. O 28 N ee n ovember l95 I, under The command oT Cap- W W., Tain F, L. Tedder, wiTh Commander R. J. Baum as her execuTive oTTicer, she was recommissioned in The acTive U.S. Navy and assigned To The ATlanTic FleeT, her home porT-BosTon, where she was TirsT commissioned eighT years before. STeaming down The wesT coasT Trom BremerTon, she again Traversed The Panama Canal, reTracing The wake she had made eighT years earlier under much diTTerenT condi- Tions. l-ler TirsT sTop on The ATlanTic side oT The world was GuanTanamo Bay, Cuba, Tor a six week shakedown and Training period To sTarT her along The road To a reTurn To The baTTle eTTiciency ThaT had made her Tamous in The Pa- ciTic. STill Tollowing her wake oT eighT years, The BalTimore sTeamed up The easT coasT To her new home porT Tor a shorT yard period and To Till ouT her crew beTore leaving Tor her TirsT Tour oT duTy wiTh The UniTed STaTes SixTh FleeT in The lvlediTerranean, ln April l952, The BalTimore sTeamed ouT oT BosTon Har- bor enrouTe To GibralTar, B.C.C., her TirsT porT oT call in The lv1ediTerranean, where she relieved The USS PiTTsburgh and assumed her duTies as a heavy uniT oT The SixTh FleeT. AlThough SixTh FleeT duTy means a rigorous operaTing schedule, There was sTiII Time beTw.een IAA GQ Tuelin .

Caswell relieved CapTain Tedder. No maTTer how lovely are The damoiselles oT The Riviera, or how inTeresTing The sighTseeing in Venice, There's sTill no place like home , . .and when The Time came in Lisbon, in OcTober l952, Tor The USS Columbus To Take The BalTi- more's place in The SixTh l:l.eeT, The crew oT The BalTimore was more Than ready To welcome her. They did so in Tull comic dress, wiTh quarTerdeck anTics and a big show on The combined TanTails oT The Two ships ThaT nighT. Then home again To BosTon, To begin a shorT, well earned resT Tor her crew and a badly needed yard period Tor her- selT. ln ThaT one year's Time she had come Trom a barely TunTioning ship To a Tull, acTive combaTanT uniT oT The UniTed STaTes Navy, ready To do her parT and carry her Tull load in any mission she mighT be called upon To per- Torm. She and her crew have good reason To be proud oT The iob ThaT was done in ThaT TirsT year oT her new liTe, in upholding The sTandard and TradiTion ThaT is BalTimore , .. and Navy. Wow... for the full story of the second year of her new life, of new and greater gloris, and more of the repetition of history, you have only to turn the page and read on . . . A year spenT aboard an operaTing combaTanT vessel oT The UniTed STaTes Navy, despiTe all else iT may be, is an inTeresTing and memorable one, and one which we will wanT To reminisce abouT in TuTure years To come. 'Our mem- ory som.eTimes plays Tricks on us however, and we can'T always remember some Things as well as we'd like To, or can'T quiTe describe To The home Town Tolks iusT how a cer- Tain place looked. For This reason iT was TelT ThaT we need- ed someThing To reTer To, a collecTion oT picTures and sTories To help our memories ouT, and To make our experi- ences more real To Those we share Them wiTh back home. So here is The resulT-a yearbook Tor The U.S.S, BalTimore, covering The Twelve monTh period Trom her reTurn To The UniTed STaTes Trom her TirsT Tour oT duTy wiTh The SixTh FleeT in CcTober oT I952, To The same evenT upon The com- pleTion oT her second Tour oT duTy in The summer oT l953, ending iusT one year and one week laTer. And iT was an evenTTul year in The liTe oT any ship. We began iT in SouTh BosTon Navy Yard where we spenT some Time Tied up ouTboard oT The U.S.S. WorcesTer geTTing GcquainTed again wiTh our wives, sweeThearTs, and Tami- lies and learning iusT how pleasanT home really is, In less Than a monTh we puT ouT To sea again Tor a Tew days maneuvering wiTh The oTher ships oT Cruiser Division Fourg Then wenT up The Chesapeake Tor The BalTimore's Tirgf vigif To her namesake ciTy, in Maryland. Then back To BosTon T0 oTT load ammuniTion and a place aT Pier 5, CharlesTown Naval Shipyard Tor a brieT yard period. A greaT deal oT work was accomplished on The BalTimore in This shorT period oT Time Toward making her a beTTer and more modern ship, even Though you would hardly suspecT iT Trom The size oT Yard Work LisT and The lisT oT alTera- Tions To be perTormed during her yard period in I953-54. The yard period provided her TirsT leave period since re- commissioning, and a chance To hold The ship's parTy and dance ThaT had been in The wind Tor many monThs. WiTh a long Time spenT in one spoT. greaTer sporTs parTicipaTion was now possible. The men oT The BalTimore acTively en- gaged in many sporTs, climaxed by The winning oT The T953 Golden Gloves Trophy given by The Lowell Sun in Lowell, Mass. Schools were high on The agenda during This period also To Take maximum advanTage oT The many Training esTablishmenTs in and around The BosTon and Newpofi areas. As yard periods are wonT To do, however, This one didn'T seem To lasT very long, and by March oT T953 we were on our way down To GuanTanamo Bay in warm and sunny Cuba Tor Three weeks oT inTensive underway Training designed TO work ouT The kinks oT Tour monThs oT operaTing inacTiviTy. Three weeks seems longer away Trom home Than iT did in BOSTON. buT neverTheless we were very soon back again. i T i l T T' P L V f 5 r gl Tor ThaT one lasT look aT The UniTed STaTes beTore The Med beckoned again. l-lere The Three weeks seemed shorT in- deed, Then oTT To NorTolk Tor a Two day sTop To pick up The drone uniT, anoTher Two days To parTicipaTe in a demon- sTraTion Tor a group oT SenaTors and Congressmen, Then OTT across The briny deep To GibralTar and anoTher summer wiTh The Six+h FleeT. SixTh FleeT duTy is preTTy much The same Trom one sum- mer To The nexT, in and ouT oT The many lvlediTerranean porTs ThaT all seem so much alike aTTer a shorT while, days aT sea wiTh maneuvers and .exercises sTacked end To end as closely as possible, Tueling desTroyers, running wiTh car- riers launching and recovering planes, reprovisioning aT sea, and every now and Then a swim call on The odd Sunday aTTernoon. This year, however, our Med cruise was broken up by a Trip To SpiThead, England To represenT The UniTed STaTes Navy in The CoronaTion Naval Review oT Queen ElizabeTh II on The I5Th oT June. A glorious chapTer in The liT.e hisTory oT any naval vessel, and iT happened To us dur- ing our year. ThaT Too, like mosT good Things, was shorT, and back To The SixTh FleeT To Tinish ouT The summer, The year, and our Yearbook, wiTh our relieT in Palermo, Sicily upon The com- pleTion oT our parTicipaTion in The I953 NATO operaTion in The lv1ediTerranean, WELDFAST. l . 2EiE i:i r CRUISER DIVISIUN 4 U.

Every day aT noon we sTood before The famous Tower clock of Mes- sina: heard The lion roar and The cocks crow, saw deafh swing his scyfhe, and wafched The church disappear behind The hill, To reappear again aT midnighf.

Early Sunday morning we were awakened by a sound fainfly reminiscenf of The roar of low flying planes during an Adex. We weren'T being aTTacked: we jusT had grandsTand seafs for The local moforcycle races, which ran righT by The ship. The powerful bikes flashing pasT were a conTrasT To The endless sTream of liTTle donkey carTs pass- ing up and down The sTreeT. These, wiTh Their brighT colors and gay harnesses, swinging as The small animals plodded Trielessly on Their way, seemed more Truly To belong To The Sicily of song and sTory, The colorful, gay Sicily we besT remember.
