The first por! of the Spring Crazse was hzghlzghtea' by I lfl g 61119 0lf6,,., eated at the mouth of the busiest waterway in the world, Singapore 1 strikes all visitors as a seemingly paradoxical city. Beautiful and clean, it is also crowded and busy. An independent country of almost six million, it is striking how orderly and open this bustling city is. Mak- ing its second visit in two years to the city, CHANCELLORSVILLE enjoyed the privi- lege of docking at the newly-opened Changi Naval Base at the southeastern tip ofthe island, further improving on outstanding accomodations.

At night, the bars, restaurants, and night- clubs of Clark and Boat Quay were frequent destinations of our sailors, as well as the popular Orchard Road area. Singapore is most-often remembered for its striking cleanliness.
