DUR FORMER CAPTAIIV Commander Charles V. Allen, U. S. Navy COMMANDER Allen was born in Van Wert, Iowa, on November 20, 1910. He re- ceived his education in Iowa public schools, and later attended Burlington Junior College and the University of Washington. His naval career began in 1932 when he enlisted as a seaman in the United States Naval Reserve. He was commissioned as Ensign, USNR in December 1935. Prior to World War II, Commander AUen was ordered to active duty as a recruiting oflBcer, and in December, 1940, reported on board the U.S.S. Brooks (DD232) as First Lieutenant.

He commanded the Brooks (APD 10) during the New Guinea campaign and at the landings on Saipan. Returning to the States, he became the CO. of the newly commissioned U.S.S. Pavlic (APD 70) and again returned to be engaged in the campaign for Okinawa and in the initial occupation of Japan. After the war ' s end, he became Technical Staff Officer, Bremerton Group, Pacific Reserve neet. In March, 1949, Commander Allen became Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. Dickson, and he continued in that capacity until May 17, 1951. Beloved by the crew, he was presented with a gift of Limoges China Dinner service as a token of their esteem. Commander Allen holds the Bronze Star with a gold star in lieu of a second for combat service; the Naval Unit Commendation, Naval Reserve Medal, American Defense, Asiatic-Pacific Theater (six stars), and other area ribbons. CDMMMDEH DESTROYER SOUADRDIV TWELVE Captain O. L. Livdahl, U. S. Navy CAPTAIN Livdahl, our Squadron Commander, who rode the U.S.S. Compton (DD 705) during the cruise, was born in North Dakota on September 14, 1903. He graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1926. Prior to assuming command of DesRon TWELVE on January 5, 1951, he served the .Navy in many capacities. In the U.S.S. Claxton, he served in the Mediterranean during the Spanish Revolution, 1937-1938; as the Gunnery Officer of a large ship for a year prior to World War II, and for the first year and a half of the War; as Gunnery and Training Officer on the Staff of Commander, Seventh Fleet; and as Section Chief of the Underwater Ordnance Research and Development section of the Navy ' s Bureau of Ordnance. Captain Livdahl came to us well versed in the problems of the Naval Reservist on active duty, having just completed a tour of duty as Director of Naval Reserve, Fourth .Naval District.

Dickson was named in honor of Lieutenant Commander Harlan R. Dickson, U. S. Navy, of Washington, D. C. He was a graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy, and performed duty as a carrier torpedo pilot in most of the areas of aerial combat in the early days of World War II. He was twice decorated with the Navy Cross for heroism and outstanding performance as a torpedo plane pilot, and was killed in action while flying from the U.S.S. Yorktown on Feb- ruary 5, 1944. The keel of the DD708 was laid in Kearney, N. J., and she was fitted out at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. She was commissioned on February 17, 1945. Her home port at the time this book At ease — awaiting inspection. A recovered drone. was written, was Newport, Rhode Island. Piping the side — Com. Deiron 12. Our hillbilly bond-Stephens, Hitch and Ens. Cubbage —Ens. Forbes, critic. The Dickson was completed too late to see action during World War II. During her life she has performed all the various duties normally assigned to a destroyer. In addition, she has operated with a mine warfare experimental unit, made two cruises to the Mediterranean, prior to the present one, and served as a training ship for naval reservists for eighteen months, operating out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Worthy of note is the fact that the Dickson was assigned duty with the United Nations at Palestine in December, 1948, and January, 1949, being one of the first units of the United States Armed Forces so employed. The third cruise to the Mediterranean began on March 20,1951, when the Dickson left New- port. On arrival at Gibraltar, she became part of the United States SIXTH Fleet, a force whose primary purpose is the protection and support of American and United Nations interests in the Mediterranean area. While a member of the Sixth Fleet, she visited the many ports described and pictured here. It is in commemoration of these visits that this book finds its purpose.

The Pillars of Hercules Gateway to the Mediterranean GIBMITAH HE first port of call of the Dickson ' s Mediterranean cruise was heralded by the L sighting of the Rock of Gibraltar rising from the blue waters surrounding it. Most of us were a little disappointed that it ' s appearance was not as dramatic as the ual pictures we had seen so often. However, any comments on Gibraltar are almost mpletely dominated by the liock. This citadel under British control for many years, has enabled her to control the :stern entrance to the Mediterranean. In area, Gibraltar is tiny, but its position m.nates the Strait and together with the mountainous tip of Africa, visible to the Jth, forms the ancient Pillars of Hercules. We went inside the bay and moored to the South Mole. From our mooring we had excellent view of the city rising steeply up the western slope of the Rock. The city was impressive in its cleanliness and in the neatness of its well-kept buildings. During our three-day stay, many of us had an opportunity to visit the city and tour the installations on Gibraltar. We saw many narrow, steep streets with the buildings rising immediately next to them, neat little walled gardens, and numerous smaU shops, offering us our first souvenirs. One evidence of a previous occupation of Gibraltar is an old Moorish castle, now serving as a jail. The tour of the Rock itself revealed a vast fortress, all underground and prac- tically self-sufficient. We saw vast reservoirs, living quarters, storerooms, an under- ground railroad, and a honeycomb of passageways. We all left with a good idea why Gibraltar has long been considered an impregnable fortress, even in this era of modern weapons. fisr- A view Limey ship of the Rock— in drydock the southeast Gibraltar across the airfield, baboons play on its sheer A fi Slow, but it Gibraltar, city and tortres: The Rock, from 1 Sidewalk cafe, Tangiers, North Africa Main Street — Augusta.

Members of our crew salvaged something from the visit by taking tours to Syracuse, site of an ancient civilization, and Catania, a city periodically menaced in the past by eruptions of Mt. Aetna. Many consider Catania to be the prettiest city on Sicily. Two of our Boatswains Mates, Varca and Vilardi, were able to visit relatives during our stay here. Memories of our stop here are sure to recall the periodic battles with bumboats and one evening when the UDT boys gave our OOD Lt. (jgl Bob Fuller quite a thrill by capturing our quarterdeck unopposed. Harbor and fishing fleet. 1 NAPLES, ITALY The city visited most often during our cruise was Naples, long famed in story and song for its beautiful harbor. We paid the city three visits during our cruise in April, May and June and became well acquainted with the city and its environs. Naples finds its origin in antiquity and offers a study in con- trast between old and new. Today the city still shows the effects of World War II and the results of the shattered Italian economy are everywhere in evidence, both in the physical appearance of the city and in the behavior of its inhabitants. We were constantly approached by peddlers and beggars during our visits, the former offering many things for sale. Most of our souvenir hunting was, however, confined to the shops which were very numerous. Many purchased cameos, cameras, Barra gloves and Borsolino hats. One unusual sight was the large arcade in the center of the city, its glass roof covering many shops and cafes. For the sightseer, there were numerous museums and ancient structures to visit. Our shops at Naples offered us the opportunity to visit such famed sites as Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri. The first two are covered on the following pages. While in Naples, E. Pasquini, R. Cecconi, V. W. Lanza, and C. A. Giampietro were able to visit relatives living nearby. Sorrento, a small city lying across the Bay of Naples, is lotable primarily for the view of the Bay from its advantageous position about 200 feet above the water. The inhabitants are vorld renowned artisans producing fine inlaid wood-work and aces. The Isle of Capri, just off the Bay of Naples, is a vacation laradise featuring fine beaches, beautiful flowers and scenery, ind balmy breezes. There are numerous grottoes around the sland which can be visited only by boat. The Blue Grotto, most amous of these, offers a view of the blue Mediterranean waters lot seen elsewhere.

A description of the magnificence and splendor of the city ' s cathedrals and other edifices is beyond the scope of this book, but for many who made this tour it was the high point of the cruise. The tour party also visited many of Rome ' s landmarks other than the religious ones, the most noteworthy of these were the Catacombs and the ancient Coliseum. An attempt was made to be received in audience by Pope Pius XII, but the short time available prevented its real- ization. Old Cothedral. A commemorative archway. A Cathedrol of Rome.

Temple of Jupiter— Pompeii POMPEII- Pompeii merits special attention, as it represents one of the world ' s finest example- - of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures of almost twenty centuries ago. It is the onl instance of an entire city of this era being preserved complete. Its remarkable stati of preservation is due to the manner ot its destruction. Founded originally by the Greeks, it became a popular resort for the fashionable of Rome, and the architecture of the city shows both influences. In the year 79 A.D., the city was completely destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. It lay covered with about twenty feet of dry volcanic ash and pumice, almost forgotten for about 1700 years. About the year 1750 the excavation of the city was started and is still continuing. Almost three-quarters of the city is now uncovered and open to visitors. At first, most of the objects were removed to museums, but later excavations have attempted to leave things just as they were originally. Many bodies, both human and animal were found in a fine state of preservation due to the long interment under the dry ashes, and many statues, .jewelry, paintings and pieces of furniture are visible for inspection. Those of us who toured Pompeii wandered down its stone paved streets, deeply rutted from the passage of many chariots, and spent hours visiting the many spots of interest. Particularly impressive were the original paintings on the walls of the buildings, with their colors still bright and clear after 2000 years.

CORFU — Pearl of the Mediterranean Our visit to Corfu, on April 26 and 27 was very enjoyable, offering us our first contact with the Greek Nation. The Naval Commander, Nicholas Athanassiades, was particularly hospitable and arranged tours of the city and island for us. Corfu, a small island lying off the coasts of Greece and Albania is well known as a vacation resort to the Greeks, offering beautiful scenery, a mild climate and sandy beaches. The city of Corfu, off which we anchored, boasts a population of about 12,000 people and suffered successive bombings by the Italians, Germans and British during World War II. One famous former resident was Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and Achilles Palace, once owned by him, is Corfu ' s most outstanding landmark. Many of us visited the palace and marveled at the beautiful gardens, statuary and paintings, all depicting the life of Achilles. W ' -VfJ- W • ■  ' T f% j|.

Il l liii ' J ij: I PATRAS— Third Seaport of Greece . - f Our visit to the City of Patras, Greece broadened our contact with the modern Grecian, and helped add to our respect for this group of people who fought so long and desperately for their independence. We were moored to a wharf in the center of the city and as became usual during our Med cruise were the center of attraction. Practically the whole population walked by to look us over. Patras offers little as a tourist attraction, but it is a bustling city of about 100,000 people engaged in acting as importer and exporter of Greek products and the produc- tion of fine wines, primarily at the Clauss Winery. Some of us visited this establish- ment and can vouch for the quality of the product. We were fortunate to be in Patras on their Easter Holiday, determined on a dif- ferent calendar than our own, and on Good Friday observed each church conducting a procession through the streets of the city in commemoration of Christ ' s journey to Gethsemane. Each procession, and there were 26 that evening in Patras, was led by a band playing a funeral dirge. The entire congregation followed at a slow measured pace, each person carrying a lighted candle. It was an impressive sight, new to all of us. Another interesting feature of Patras is the school for boys located there, and operated under supervision of the Greek Army. Many of the instructors were trained in the United States. The students, about 1000 in number, were almost all orphaned during the recent guerrilla fighting in Northern Greece. INSTAIVBUL, TURKEY One high light of the cruise was our visit to Istanbul. Located on the eastern side of the Bosphorus, Istanbul presents a picturesque skyline, with the domes and minarets of her many mosques standing out against the backdrop of the city. One cannot help but be impressed with the setting of the Near East when viewing the city from its seaward approach. However, many of us were surprised to find that a large part of Istanbul is a very modern city with many cars, busses, trolleys, large buildings, and well-paved, wide streets. A favorable comparison could be made with many of our own large cities. However, along her wide avenues and well kept parks, she retains a qual- ity of the old as well as the new, and if you cross the Golden Horn, you find ancient cobblestone streets and overhanging buildings just as they were centuries ago. The picture is completed with the mosques and obelisks, bazaars and peddlers creating an atmosphere of an entirely different world. Thus the paradox of combined Eastern and Western cultures is the most remarkable attribute of this unique and historic city. Before 1924 Istanbul was known for centuries as Constantinople, named for Emperor Constantine, who took the city for the Roman Empire. Since that time, Constantinople has been the cause of many wars due to its strategic location at the gateway of the Black Sea. With the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th Century, the city fell into Turkish hands and has been under Turkish rule ever since. In 1924, when the Turk- ish government was reformed and the old Sultan rule abandoned, Constantinople was renamed Istanbul. The last 25 years has seen Istanbul develop into the modern city it is today, due largely to the reforms of the new and democratic form of government and the progressive spirit of the Turkish people. The most interesting places we saw in Istanbul were : the Blue Mosque noted for its beautiful interior of blue porcelain mosaic; the Sultan ' s Palace, which has on display much of the accumulated treasure of many sul- tans; the Egyptian Bazaar where one can buy anything imaginable and at the most extraordinary prices; and St. Sophia, the third largest church in the world. Open to all Naval personnel during our visit was the YMC. Canteen, which provided music and refresh- ments for all. Much of the night life was centered at the canteen for that reason, however many branched out to take in the more well known night-spots along Pera Street, the center of Istanbul ' s night life.

We finally nested safely alongside the Tender with the U.S.S. Meredith and the U.S.S. Purvis and remained for a week. Piraeus offered little of interest, but 100 Drachma (6V2CI and a half hour away was Athens, center of the ancient Greek Empire. The city of Athens, ancient and modern, offered many attractions, the most notable of which was the Acropolis with its architectural wonders. Without attempting to describe these many structures, we were all overawed that the ancient Greek, without our modern machinery, was able to construct these build- ings. Most of them were constructed over 1500 years ago, and barring destructive acts of men, would still be intact today. From the Acropolis all of ancient Athens is visible, including Mars Hill from which St. Paul preached to the Athenians. Modern Greece boasts many fine buildings, parks, hotels and restaurants. The beautiful Academy of Science has as its central building a replica of the Parthenon before its partial destruction. The sports-minded took pleasure in seeing the white marble Olympic Stadium restored in recent years. This stadium was the scene of the ancient Olympic Games and of their revival, as we know of them, in 1896. The canteen for servicemen, operated under the auspices of the American Embassy, earned a hearty thank you for entertainment and refreshments dispensed.

Most of us felt Africa would be unbearably hot, but were delighted by the cool breezes moving in off the Mediterranean Sea. We were accompanied by the U.S.S. Oriskany and the U.S.S. Purvis. At Tripoli we found a small harbor well protected by a long breakwater. Circling the harbor was a beautiful drive bedecked with palms and flowers. Facing the drive were many modern buildings, and some of extremely ancient vintage, for Tripoli is a city of contrast, where the civilization of the Biblical times meets modern urbanity. Notable were an old fortress of the Barbary Pirates— where the captives of the Frigate Philadelphia are said to have been held by the Bey of Tripoli; and the Wadaan Club. The latter was erected under Mussolini ' s regime and was reportedly used as a head- quarters by Marshall Rommel during his North African campaign. The Arab population added much color to the scene with the fez and burnoose much in evidence Unusual sights were the old wells using a goatskin as a bucket, typical of the kind used in Biblical times, and the many camels and small donkeys, most of which were very mangy. Our visit was made more pleasant by the whole-hearted hospitality shown us by the personnel of Wheelus Air Force Base, located near Tripoli. They helped make our ship ' s beach party a success, and albwed us to use their clubs during our visit. The pleasant memories we all carried from Tripoli are, in a large measure, due to our friends in the Air Force at Wheelus. UPPER LEFT- Native populotion interested spectators at fleet londing.

It was a short jaunt to such l mous resort pots as Cannes, Juan les Pins, Nice, Monte Carlo and Antibes and all haiids enjoyed hemselves thoroughly. Many of us were able to make tours to Switzerland and Paris rom here and many more took tours of the Riviera itself. The night life of the Riviera .as notable and interesting, but, expensive. Most of us made full use of the famous leaches at Cannes and Juan les Pins and enjoyed a real vacation for the only time luring our cruise. ft w- Along the beache A T 1 .w French lass models a Bikini. k mIh m H ' R ' A i kv K k ' M ■ l|«4«n ' lfe, L m mm 3I UPPER RIGHT-View of Nice.

One tries to describe her art museums, cathedrals, scenic beauty, monuments, music, educational institutions, hotels, sidewalk cafes, restaurants and her nightlife, and ends up at a loss for words. All this, we tried to take in over a short period of three days, and found ourselves scurrying around like mice. Some of us were fortunate enough to make the trip twice, and all fully realized why Paris is so loved by her country ' s inhabitants and by her visitors. A small part of the crew made the tour to Paris from our anchorage at Golfe Juan on the Riviera. The stories they brought back made them the envy of all hands, and furnished a lively subject for many a bull-session. Rather than go into further detail, the pictures tell the story of why everyone became so enamoured of Paris. UPPER LEFT-View of Paris front Ihe Eiffel Tower. MIDDLE UPPER-Elffel Tower.

RHDDES-The Isle of Roses Our visit to Rhodes, most famous of the Dodecanese Islands, was one of the most enjoyable of the cruise. We anchored a few hundred yards off the city and by means of the ship ' s binoculars were soon enjoying a long-glass liberty. ' We were pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful beach adorned with what a beach needs most to make it attractive. Those of us who looked further, also noted many attractive buildings and became aware of the immaculate cleanliness of the city. Our liberty section quickly went ashore, and during our five day stay visited the old walled city with the Castle of the Knights of St. John its most prominent feature. We looked in vain for the site of the famed Colussus and soon discovered no one is too sure of exactly where it was located. A visit to the beach did nothing to dispel its distant promise, and many of us spent hours enjoying the mild waters of the .Mediterranean there. The beach itself was unlike any we had previously seen, being composed of small many-hued pebbles instead of sand. Commander Starabolis, Greek Naval Commander on Rhodes, bent every effort to make our stay enjoyable. He arranged tours to the Ruins of Lindos and Petaloude, the valley of the butterflies. Arrangements were also made for us to hear several con- certs and to witness a Grecian dance festival. The Dickson tried to repay this hospitality and entertained about 150 orphan children on board. They were presented with toys, shown movies and fed ice cream and cake. We will all long remember our friends on Rhodes and believe the Dickson will remain a pleasant memory for the friendly people we met there. - T UPPER LEFT-The beach at Rhodes.

Our stay at Suda Bay was cut short when we were sent to look for two jet pilots down at sea. None of us got ashore, but we weren ' t too sorry as our distant inspection revealed only an unin- viting rocky shoreline. Iraklion was a considerable improvement over Suda Bay but left much to be desired for a liberty port. The accompanying pictures cover all that can be said. Various divisions of the ship sent soft ball teams ashore, who took their own refreshments (beer) with them, and managed to have an enjoyable afternoon. GENOA — Birthplace of Columbus A port we all remember vividly is Genoa, Italy, a city famous through the centuries as a seaport, and the birthplace and home of the discoverer of the New World, Christopher Columbus. Twice, we visited Genoa, and twice we moored — Mediter- ranean style — at Stazione Marittima, situated in the center of the docking area, and as near to the heart of the city as a ship could get. We all remember the constant source of entertainment, provided for the stand-by and duty sections, by the multitude of curious Genoese spectators and sightseers who thronged the street above and behind our berth, from dawn to darkness, to view us from the balcony. It was agreed that the quarterdeck watch here was the most enjoyable of the whole cruise. On a tour of the city, one could see the gradual evolution of architecture, from the designs of the middle ages to the western-influenced modernistic styles. Scattered areas still showed the scars of World War II where the buildings were destroyed or damaged. In some of the oldest sections of the city, the ancient streets, designed for carriages and footpaths, were so narrow that no modern vehicle could pass, and the buildings rose straight out of the streets. Following the waterfront along toward the heart of the city, we came upon a wide boulevard, bordered by beautiful bathing beaches along the shoreline. This street is the promenade area of Genoa, and on evenings thousands of people strolled there to enjoy the cool breezes off the sea. Further along the boulevard, we came upon the Piazza Acquaverde in the center of which stands the monument to Columbus, re- splendent in magnificent and intricate sculpture. The Genoese are a friendly people who were generous in their efTorts to make our stay a happy one. Perhaps Genoa has a special significance to we Dicksonites — it was our last port of call in the Mediterranean before transiting the Strait of Gibraltar westward bound toward home.

On the right bank of the river, some ten miles from the sea, lay the capitol and principle seaport of Portugal, Lisbon. This port signaled the end of the arduous fleet exercises and nearly six months of operations in the Mediterranean. The Dickson moored but a few blocks from Black Horse Square, a large handsome square, sur- rounded on three sides by the Naval Arsenal, the Exchange, and the Custom House. Other ships of the Sixth Fleet moored at various locations along the right bank of the river. With one eye toward the West and the long anticipated return to the United States, (he crew of the Dickson set out determined to make this, the last port on our itinerary, a memorable one. Lisbon had much to offer as a liberty port. To those who had as yet failed to buy a souvenir for the family or friends back home this port met our needs. Beautiful linens in the form of tablecloths, blouses and handkerchiefs was available to us. This linen came to Lisbon from the nearby Madeira Islands. Silver in the form of beautiful filigree pins and bracelets was also a favorite purchase. For those who were disappointed at our failure to visit a Spanish port, the bull fights offered a different and exciting spectacle. To those who had seen the famous churches and palaces of Lisbon, other beautiful spots were within easy riding dis- tance. Estoril, on the Portugese Riviera, boasting a beautiful beach and a luxurious casino, lay not too many miles distant. Others who were tired of the sea, sought out the mountain village of Sintra, with its ancient Moorish Castle and its quaint cafes in which some of Portugal ' s best wines were to be found. Still others took advantage of the opportunity to visit the beautiful shrine of Fatima not too distant from Lisbon. Turning our back to Europe, we headed for home. The cruise had been a memorable one, but home and loved ones were still 3000 miles away. One fact remains uppermost as a result of this journey, we all came to a much sharper appreciation of how lucky we are to be Americans. t C ' ' if ilL UPPER RIGHT— Elevator in downtown Lisbon.
