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. Built for the Singaporian Navy, but large enough to berth an entire carrier battle group, these piers greatly sim- plified the transit into and out of port. Be- cause of the significance of the KITTY HAWK Battle Group's visit, the Chief of Na- val Operations, ADM Vern Clark attended the opening ceremonies for the base in the shadow of the KITTY HAWK and CHANCELLORSVILLE.

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. Considered overly restric- tive by many, Singapore's tight control and numerous laws over pollution and development make it a refreshingly clean, orderly and beautiful city. its naval facili- ties now rank it as one of the top ports of call for convenience as well. The Merlion is a symbol of Singapore's dominant position over world trade. Overlooking the Straits of lvlagellen, the busiest watenrvay in the world, from Sentosa Island, the giant statue is a symbol of Singapore's preeminence despite the nation's small size.
