fx G TEWAY TO THE MED Scarred by the passage of time and Tooled by man into a formidable fortress, Gibraltar loomed into view on The morn of Feb. 2, to signify The completion of The Forrestal's Atlantic crossing. Protector and gateway to the Mediterranean, The Rock, is literally armed to the teeth and as a naval base, commands a position of strategic importance. Beneath The surface of Gibraltar lies a labyrinth of man-made passages and natural caverns. The contents of many of these honey- combed caves is a British secret, however fossils have been removed giving evidence that Gibraltar was once inhabited by species of mammals, including the elephant and rhino- ceros. At present, the largest form of animal life on Gibraltar is the Barbary ape, whose antics are a constant source of amusement to tourists. Although the heavier population of Gibraltar is of Italian-Genoese descent and Spanish is The principle lan- guage, the legislative iurisdiction lies with England. l-lere, as in Britain, the direct arm of the law is the proverbial Bobby. The word Gibraltar is a derivative of Jebel Tariq lmount Tariqj, so named for Tariq Ben Anid, who took possession of. The Rock with his conquest of Andulusia in 7ll A.D. Gibraltar was held by the Spanish when besieged and captured by England in l7l3. Due to its position and tremendous fortifications, Gi- braltar is considered impregnable but until it withstands the resources of modern warfare, its invincibility will be in doubt, As The Forrestal continued into The Mediterranean and left behind this giant watchdog, a strange similarity could be seen. Behind was a natural formation carved into an effective guardian for the valuable Mediterranean waters, here was a latent weapon completely constructed by man and equipped with The latest in destructive mechanics. The resemblance is not to be seen in proportion, for The Rock is many times larger than the Forrestal, but the likeness was clearly visible in POTENTlAL.
