HAIFA, ISRAEL OCTOBER 27- NOVEMBER 05 The port visit to Haifa, Israel marked the midway point of Briscoe ' s deployment. Haifa, which is located approximate- ly 25 miles south of Lebanon, is home to the friendliest USO in the Mediterranean. Most Israelis spoke excellent English and sailors were exposed to Israeli culture through USO sponsored parties, trips to a kibbutz, classical concerts by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and invitations to Israeli homes. While in Israel, Briscoe sailors visited Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and the Sea of Galilee. Tours to Jeru- salem were by far the biggest hit! Briscoe sailors took advan- tage of every opportunity to see historic sights like the old walled city of Jerusalem, the Western Wall (the Wailing Wall) and the Dome of the Rock. Sailors who remained in Haifa feasted on shwarmas, falafels and other Israeli delicacies. Those who wanted to shop in a western style mall traveled to the Scud Mall, so named for being hit by an Iraqi missile during the Gulf War. Others ventured to the Caprice Dia- mond Factory which featured precious stones at relatively inexpensive prices. In all, Haifa was one of Briscoe ' s best port visits of the deployment. Besides the important histori- cal sites, it was the especially warm welcome extended by the Israeli people that made the crew feel at home. ■I: !fi ■ Xt ' i i v ? y m:. U •■ n ina.
