Gibraltar has always had close ties with the United States, as it was a maior base for U.S. squadrons operating against barbary pirates and saw the establishment of one of our earliest consulates. ln World War I the anti-submarine patrol of the strait was assigned to the U.S. Navy, commemorated locally by the American War Memorial, and in World War ll General Eisenhower was appointed fortress commander for a brief period while preparing to move into North Africa. It has been a favorite liberty port from the ships of the old Mediterranean squadron to those of the New Sixth Fleet. Was that Liberty Call? Looks like P-R-U-D-E-N-T-l-A-L! lyg,,.
