It seemed to us a terrible blow to leave our dormant stay in New York, but as in the events of human misfor- tunes, the cruise presented us with many precious mem- ories, and a chance to get a complete vision of foreign lands that many have never seen. Like a volcano, we gathered our gases and steam, built up our' forces, and when the time and conditions were right, a violent commotion was heard - 'anchors aweigh Il As, the river of lava descended with its rocks and ashes, it caused a great tidal wave which carried us on a sea of foreign travel, to spread our good will and create a better understanding between our people and peoples of the world. The volcano leaves behind signs of its movements, we leave behind our actions, but will always keep our mem- ories. These we record for posterity, to keep fresh in mind the experiences shared. To our family and friends, or the casual reader who may come upon this book, may we share with you our adventures of travel and life at sea. .M X, 155 f ff NNN f f The Volcano erupted A thunder was heard Then through the sky I flew out hke a B1rd I was shaped 11ke a bullet And above you dxd llnger Fell flat on my Pr1mer Rlght here near your flnger I m Danny Dynamlte ls the f1rst th1ng I sa1d Follow me through these pages There s a book to be read!!!

Great Sitkin was built by the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company at Wilmington in 1945. Because of wartime pressure, the ship was launched two months after the keel was laid. Shortly thereafter she was accepted by the Navy, converted to an ammu- nition ship, given the name Great Sitkin' and desig- nated with the hull number AE- 17. In August 1945, her colors were run up, the com- mission pennant broken, and the first watch set. She later reported to Commander Service Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, employed delivering ammo to bases ashore and rearming other vessels of the Navy while underway. lt can be said the ship can provide ammu- nition for any type naval vessel from the largest battlewagon, to the smallest patrol craft. .ff . ff Paf - . 1 A 'i ffl .,,,, . .

Great Sitkin is authorized to display on her bridge, replicas of the service ribbons ofthe following awards: American Area Campaign Medal, World Warll Victory Medal, Navy Occupation Service Medal fEuropej, and the National Defense Medal. Statistically the ship has an overall length of 459 feet, a beam of 63 feet, a speed of 16 knots, and a normal load displacement of 12,000 tons. Her home yard is the Boston Naval Shipyard, and her home port is New York, New York. J, f 4 M , , C N V - I-.X i- - A 'ff 1 ' C 'T - 9, Captain Frederick Wolsieffer, U. S. Navy, assumed command of the USS GREAT SITKIN QAE-177 on 14 De- cember l953 at the U. S. Naval Ammunition Depot, Earle, New Jersey. Prior to reporting on board he was the Commanding Officer of the Recruit Training Com- mand, U. S, Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, Maryland. Captain Wolsieffer has served with distinction in many key billets, both afloat and ashore, since his gradu- ation from the U, S. Naval Academy in 1932. During World War ll, he served as Commanding Of- ficer ofthe destroyer USS WILKES in the North Atlantic, African, and European campaigns, and later as the Com- manding Officer of the radar picket destroyer USS CHEVALIER in the Asiatic-Pacific area ofcombatopera- tions. ln late 1050 he served as the Executive Officer of the light cruiser USS WORCESTER, and participated in the United Nations' action in Korea. ln addition to the many service and campaign medals awarded him, Captain Wolsieffer has been decorated, in recognition of outstanding services, with the Bronze Star Medal with Combat V Citation and Bronze Star in lieu of a second award.

' 5 The F division comprises an indispensable part of any ii AMMG ship, and is composed of firecontrolmen and gunners- mates. A 5 ln their department they are responsible for the procurement if and loading of all ammunition. Constant watches and checks must E, be kept to insure that temperatures and conditions are main- ,gi tained, for safety stowage of all Hot stuff. . lt is the responsibility of the third division to insure that all wt, guns aboard ship are well lubricated and in working condition. The duties of keeping gunsights and their mechanisms in the best 54 repair, are technical necessities of the firecontrolmen, the ' specialists of the group. g A general rule of the Gun Gang' is that no man will be ac- cepted as a striker unless he first drinks a cup of Mud in the 2 PT Room.

This key to the Med is located on the Southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula. The City of Gibraltar was the first foreign port for many. The quaintness of the old city with its many curio shops and Moorish Castle, was a fitting introduction to European liberty. All will remember the legendary Gibraltan apes. After two days we left this rare phenomenon of nature, which aseends from the sea to a tremendous height of fourteen hundred feet, looking forward to our return.

In no time at all we found that our sailors of Italian decent all spoke the native language fluently, with salesmen of the Italian bumboat fleet. The war-damaged Naples is a crowded, confused and fast moving city. The ever present Moorish Castle and San Carlo Opera House are landmarks seldom over- looked. ln contrast to present day living is the well remembered horse and buggy on the cobble stone streets.

Genoa is built on very hilly terrain, with narrow winding and untidy streets toward the waterfront and beautiful and immaculate avenues farther up town.

Majorca, the island of which Palma is the Capitol, is entertained by a calm, friendly and folk dancing populace. Looking inland from the harbor of Palma, the towering Gothic style Roman Catholic Cathedral is the first structure to be noticed. On the streets are interesting shops to keep happy the fancies of any thrift buyer. The narrow winding and jacknifed curving roads take us to small villages in the mountains. lt is in one of these, Valdemosa, that can be found the home of Chopin, and learned the history of his later life. Except for the very heavy dew in Palma, the Spanish life was enjoyed by all. Cathedral oi Palma W D 'sw' rp an l I xii it .1 J jf During World War ll, Palermo suffered much destruction as our enemies. For this reason it was imperative for the U. S. Navy to make a favorable impression on the Sicilianos. Colorful militaristic ceremonies and protocol marked our stay in Sicily as S.O,P,A. Aboard ship we entertained the local military and civilian dignitaries, and the U. S. Delegate General and members of his staff. We warmed our hearts to the twenty-five orphan girls, aboard for dinner, party and movies. Ashore many sailors hired a guide and horse drawn carriage to see the sights of Palermo. At the Catacombs we saw the remains of skeletons, of persons dead for centuries. We marvelled at the child, dead for thirty-four years, and so completely preserved if asleep.
