During tliis deployment to the Mediterranean the MACON served as flagship for Commander Cruiser Di- vision TWO, Rear Admiral Laivson P. Ramagc. He was assisted by a staff of nine officers and 47 enlisted men. The roles of the Cruiser Division Commander in the Sixth Fleet are many and varied. One of the most im- portant is Chairman of tlie Sixth Fleet Air Defense Committee, charged with providing leadership in de- veloping better Air Defense tactics and techniques, a most challenging job in this age of supersonic aircraft and guided missiles. In connection with fleet Air De- fense, great emphasis was placed on Electronic Counter- measiues. COMCRVDIV TWO was also concerned with surface and sub-surface operations as well as Air Defense. Acting as a surface raider, COMCRUDIV TWO commanded units of destroyers and the MACON and conducted sim- ulated attacks on attack carrier striking groups. As Of- ficer in Tactical Command, he commanded a fast at- tack carrier striking group. Again serving as Officer in Tactical Command he conducted several large scale fleet replenishments, during which the Sixth Fleet proved that it can remain at sea for an indefinite period of time, independent ot Mediterranean land bases and ports. The (.luticb ol the Cruiser Division Commander were not entirely seagoing, however. Each time the MACON entered a liberty port COMCRUDIV TWO was the Senior Officer Present Afloat (SOPA). As SOPA, he assumed such administrative tasks as regidating uniforms, liberty and shore patrol. Whenever other USN ships were in the same port COMCRUDIV TWO conducted personnel and material inspections to see that required standards were being maintained. Exchanges of official visits with senior nn ' litary and government officials were made in each port and COM- CRUDIV TWO with the MACON officers often served as hosts at luncheons, dinners, and receptions, thus im- plementing the People to People i rogram. Many new friends were made in addition to renewing old acquaint- ances. Upon departure from the Mediterranean COMCRU- DIV TWO and the MACON can look back upon an eventful six months deployment during which time they helped to strengthen the peace of the world.
