N H M ' Twas a glorious morning when the USS SHADWELL, LSD- 15, pulled into Rota. She was our relief, and we knew it wouldn ' t be long before we ' d be home again. i i X - On the trip home we found that we had a little time for sunbathing, even if we were pretty busy getting the ship in good shape for our return to Little Creek. Our Marine friends often seemed to lack anything strenuous to do on board the ship--so they passed the time thusly. Throughout the cruise we had music on board, provided by Dink and the Links . . . and they kept on playing until we got back.

The YFN enters the well deck. Many spectators were amazed that we could swallow up something that large. ROTA, SPAIN By the time we reached Rota, we were already making rapid preparations for our return to the States. We had completed our last landing, had visited our last big liberty port, and were now ready for the trip home. During the time that we were at Rota we took a YFN into the well deck and repaired it. Then we started cleaning up and getting the ship in good shape for our home journey. We found good American food and drinking matter at the clubs on the base at Rota. We also saw a modern, well-equipped American Naval Base still in the process of being erected. For those of us that ventured off the base, there was Jerez, the small town with the wine factory. And only a few miles away was the larger city of Cadiz. We p ulled some good liberty, but our main thoughts were now of the voyage across the Atlantic, and the day when at last we would see Little Creek again. The barge barely clears, but it makes it--and now the repair job will begin in the well. Cadiz had many imposing and interesting buildings which made good photography subjects. The typical atmosphere of a Spanish town is captured in this street scene in Cadiz. 26
