P Replenishment as a specific term, or operation, includes the providing ot any item not ordinarily supplied by an oiler Qretuelingj or an ammunition ship ihandled during rearmingl Underway re- plenishment is particularly vital in the Mediterra- nean since the Sixth Fleet operates in the unique status ot having no-actual shore bases and must rely on this technique almost exclusively to pro- vision its ships. There are several types ot spe- cial surface vessels involved in a replenishment. A stores ship issues all sorts of consumable lit inediblel and non-consumable merchandise. These supplies may be transferred by rigs, or by the new- est method, helicopter transter. Not to be excluded is the refrigerator ship, which provides the sailor's most constant companion, food. The normal inter- val between maior replenishments is one month. To handle such a vast amount ot stores, the work ot all hands is required until the last crate is stored below. 2 it M252 E 3 o who dicl you expect Rock Hudson? xx x ,5 5 , , Hs ' . .

Barcelona, founded by the Carthaginians in 250 B,C., has been since the Middle Ages one of the world's great ports. Today the city is typically European, with most of its narrow, winding streets. But there are the modern additions every- where evident-boulevard s, factories, and the tall steeltowers standing like sentries in the harbor. An interesting comparison afforded close by was the replica of the frail Santa Maria, Chris- topher Columbus' flagship. For it is from this port, only aboutfive centuries ago, that Columbus sailed on his voyages of discovery. 5' tg y CC ' U JD 3 mffmwmwwmy ,,,,, , J Not all in-port time is spent ashore People-to-People, in the Barcelona manner
