RTURE:From lilier lTligflA, Charleston, S C 30 April 1974 THE USS COMPASS ISLAND QAG-1535 departed her new homeport of Charleston, South Carolina, for her long-anticipated three-month European deployment on the last day of April 1974. This departure came after much hard work by all hands. There was much to do in loading out the ship and meeting every requirement to get underway on- time. Although the cruise would mean leaving many loved ones behind for a long period of time, the relief at finally being underway and the excitement of see- ing new places was felt by nearly everyone. ff Ai! if .,,,, if 15: fy Q s yfawf' 2 pw, 4 xt?

During this underway time much work was accomplished, many games were played, and the crew seemed to gain a feeling of closeness not previously known. The pictures of shipboard life that follow better explain life at sea and underway time than any words can. Says Mr. Hollis: This puts us somewhere south of the Bronx!

The rugged coast line, frame buildings, and historic sights provided a striking contrast with the busy and modern shopping and office complex of Scotia Square. Sightseeing, girl watching, and the friendly Canadians made our too short stay here a memorable one. Our crew would probably not hesitate to recommend this port to any ship in search of good liberty.

The U. S. Navy Exchange at Rota proved to be a shopper's paradise, and the American atmosphere was most welcome. Some crewmembers had the opportunity to tour other areas of Spain.

This island of predominantly Spanish-speaking people offered sun, beaches, pretty girls and mouth-watering cuisine. Many of the crew also had the opportunity and pleasure to meet a small group of Americans who live on the island. They extended us their hospitality to the fullest.
